any ROM modem/kernel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I'll delete the modem file from the any ROM's zip file, it will install everything fine except the modem?
Same thing with the kernel file into the zip?
There is no problem to delete the modem file (where is kernel file @ the zip?) and flash it without modem - cuz I want to keep the modem I've got instead of flashing again the modem.....
thanks!

I assume you are talking about stock firmware here.

Not absolutely sure but this should work. However it is probably better or easier to go the other way: flash the entire firmware and then revert to the kernel/modem you prefer. Kernels and modems can be individually downloaded either to be flash with CWM or ODIN.
The kernel of a stock firmware can be found in the corresponding I9100_CODE.... tar file. If you look into this tar you will find a file named zImage, this is the kernel.

Thanks mate, I'm talking about a custom ROM (AOKP based)
if its possible to do this ,,, ?

If you flash a custom rom and you end up with a modem you don't like you can re- flash preferred modem separately after you have installed the ROM. There are several threads here that have many downloadable modems to choose from. All the best.

yeah, i know mate, but just curious to avoid this action (of flashing other modem again, even though its a pice of cake) if i'll delete the modem.bin file from the ROM's zip file // or kernel file .... if it will flash the ROM without any issue (without the modem/kernel file that i've deleted from the zip)

I see, I'm sorry I can't advise you on that as I'm a noob myself and have not started at altering ROMs prior to flashing. Sorry.

because my current modem is just fine, i see no reason to change it [and the ROM comes with other modem]

Most roms do not include a modem. (Well all the proper roms). And like previously stated, just take note of what modem you have and just reflash it in cwm recovery.

Need Help fast. Mini usb port died. Need to unroot.

Is there s way for me to unroot this phone without the usb port?
Any takers on this issue? Or should I run the battery dead.
I have a stock rom on it but its rooted. Everything looks stock but it has superuser in the apps menu.
Use rootexplorer to delete SU app. Then download the siyah kernel cwm flashable zip. Replace the zimage inside with a stock one. Transfer it to your phone using Bluetooth. Flash it in recovery.
Once you reboot, you should be unrooted and having a stock kernel.

can I get the zimage off my phone or is it on the net? Also do I just find superuser and delete it or is there a uninstall?

Which stock firmware were you using? The zimage is available inside the tar file. Extract it using winrar.
I have the same problem that i highlighted in the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18614955#post18614955
I have been looking for the Stock Rom in a ZIP format so that i can flash it via Recovery.
Can anyone guide us on how to convert the STOCK ROM to a ZIP Format?? Android 2.3.4 version for Samsung Galaxy S2. I am sure there is a way as i have seen the zip files for other phones.
PLEASE HELP!!
EDIT: Thank you Silesh. I will try this out tonight. Many thanks.

I can make one for you. But you will have to be rooted with a insecure kernel to flash it using cwm. After flashing it, you should be as good as stock.
It's not giving me a uninstall tab. It's giving me a install tab in root explorer

Long press on the Superuser.apk and delete. You may also have to delete the su binary and busybox to remove any signs of rooting.
Ok superuser is gone. Now to figure out this flash.

No buddy. What did you exactly do to your phone to get it to the present state?
Did you flash any firmware using Odin? How did you root?
Also dial *#1234# and let me know the result.
I see the zimage in the siyah kernel cwm but I' having trouble finding a stock zimage

I flashed a kernal a while back to root and then flashed right back to stock and the root stayed. Also I dialed *#1234# and nothing happened.

I am currently rooted and on Sensation ROM 1.8 using Siyah Kernel v 2.0
I would be very grateful if you can make a zip file for XXKI3 (2.3.5) or XXKH3 (2.3.4).
Thank you very much.
I can't find out what stock firmware I have. It's the stock one that came on the phone though.

Anyway to flash kernel without pc?

is there any way to flash kernels without connecting our phones to pc?
a friend of mine had an HTC incredible s that could flash kernels on it by the phone only. is the same thing possible on SE mdpi's?
I think no.
Unfortunately, certainly not.
Hi
If you have a zip format flashable package containing a kernel, way shouldn't you?
When you flash a ROM, you flash also its kernel.

ROM isn't same as kernel. Kernel is medium between hardware and software. Same as you can't change ROM while phone's turned on.

Wrong, when you flash a rom you don't even touch the kernel, I guess you were talking about flashing a ftf file via flashtool.

Arr u trying to flash custom rom?
yes
thanks for your answer
but i don't want the rom as cm9 to flash the modem.
or where can i locate in a rom (custom zip not 1pack tar) the modem.bin
thanks again
atv
Man, cm roms never bring modem. Modem is a Sammy thing.
You should read and search a bit. There is a full thread about modems, csc with all you need inside.
My god this is noob central here isnt it???
Just open the zip and remove the modem.bin. there you go.

[Q] Flash Stock Kernel

Hi guys,
I'm new here, sorry if this isn't the right place...
I'm a GS3 owner and just flashed the ROM I9300XXDLJ5_I9300ODDDLI7_INU.
I would like to flash the SpeedMod kernel but before doing that I need to know how do I install the stock kernel if needed.
Can you point to the right direction?
Thank you
If you make a backup, resorting the backup will also restore the kernel
I did, but I don't want to restore the whole thing... all I want is to restore the kernel if needed.
Tell me, extract boot.img from India ROM and make a new .tar with this single file will work?
Thank you

Try to search forum or Google to find your stock kernels flashable zip or tar . Download it.. it will works. But pay attention to ICS / JB difference.. flash right kernel.

you could also extract it from the ROM's file and flash it I guess.
Thank you guys.
Extracted boot.img from Sammy Indian Rom and made a new .Tar using S3 Toolkit.

for the md5 file you need Odin or Mobile Odin, to flash from recovery you will need a flashable ROM as zip (there is a thread in the general section with stock roms as flashable zips).

un-root it after flashing, or download via sammobile.com, flash as primary rom and then swap it to secondary.
