[Q] Extracting Vibrant's Kernel? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How would i go about extracting my vibrant's current kernel? I know there is a stock kernel floating around already, i just would like to know how to do that myself though.
thanks!

[Q] JI6 Kernel CWM Flash

I know there is a CWM flash for kernel back support, and i know we have a stock JFD kernel CWN flash file. My question is, could someone get a JI6 Kernel CWM flash file like we have for JFD?
I know the back support kinda renders this request useless, but still, it's be nice to have the new JI6 kernel in case people are nandroiding between JI6 and JFD for tests and for future uses.
really? no one knows how to do this? Hell, if i have instructions on how to do this, i'll do it. i just don't know where to start.

Flash one of the custom ROM's. i.e. bionix 1.8
It's very easy to create your own flashable zips for any kernel of your choice.
For the JI6 stock kernel pull the zImage from one of the JI6 based ROMs (note - don't use the ones that are packaged with JAC's or KK's kernel). Unzip the stock JFD kernel flashable zip you have (i.e. from the Frankin-Twiz thread) and replace the zImage with the one you just pulled. Rezipp everything and voila you have your very own recovery flashable kernel.

Not what i wanted. the custom roms do kernel back support, which i already have the flashable zip for. That gets me no closer to having a flashable JI6 kernel, only JFD kernel.

Thank you very much for this. i'll work on it a bit today and test it out. thanks!

[Q] Kernel issue

So, my wife is on SC2.9 still....I put OTB kernel on it...but now she's having some issues with reboots and is wanting stock kernel back....I've searched around, but I'm not that great with this phone...(had a heck of a time just getting where we are now, dx user myself).
So, can anyone push me towards the easiest fix/stock kernel?
Thanks a lot everyone.

This is a stock kernel that will not flash a recovery. Use odin to flash it: https://sites.google.com/site/imnuts/stock_kernel.tar.md5?attredirects=0

[Q] Repack ROM/Kernel with different Modem

I am attempting to flash the cognition ROM w/ninphetamine kernel for the i9100 onto my i777. I was wondering how I would go about changing the modem within BEFORE flashing. Assuming I have only worked with ROMS and never kernels, an answer assuming I don't really know anything about unpacking and repacking a kernel would be great! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Serendipity 8 isn't letting me make calls.. bad modem?
Flashed Serendipity 8, and it works fine. Except for one big problem. The modem is 1900XXKH3 and I got a feeling this isn't the right one. I know there is a flashable update around here some where. Anyone got a link?
Found the link..
Download Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + non-rooted system package from here
Download that zip, and flash the modem.tar file under the "phone" browse in ODIN and that should fix thing so your phone now works with Serendipity 8. Probably will work the same with other international ROMS.
Find all the good stuff here: Which is the Samsung Galaxy S2 recovery thread.

Sorry to be -that- guy

SO I have been tinkering a little with kernels and whatnot, but forgot to take a nandroid backup of my stock setup.
Just a quick question to ask, if I want to return to my stock kernel, is there a download link for it or am I sorta screwed in that respect?
Having said that despite not really being sure of the Perseus benefits, it does seem quite better on battery!
Thanks

You can get the stock kernel from downloading an odin package.
From the odin package, rename the I9300abcdf.tar.md5 to 19300abcdf.tar changing the extension.
Then you can extract the tar file and get the boot.img which is the stock kernel.
Then, you can drag and drop it and replace the existing kernel in any rom.zip file that you are going to flash.
Now you have stock kernel. :good:
Sorry if this is complicated. :3
If you're using an official firmware with custom kernel, just flash the same firmware via odin. Stock kernel replaces whatever was there.
If for custom roms, most will use stock or maybe slightly modified so just flash the rom again in cwm. The kernel in the rom will replace anything you had.

[Q] Ripping zImage

Quick question, hopefully easy for someone far wiser than myself, how do I rip the zImage from my currently installed ROM. And, from what I read from other threads, I can simply inject it into another kernel's flashable zip?
I have no copy of flappp's ICS kernel. I'd like to rip it off my phone for safe keeping. Someone in general posted links to his JB kernels. If I just replace the zImage in one of those with the zImage from my phone, it would then be the same difference -- it would work if I was to reflash BS in the future?
There was an app that I used back in the captivate days that would do this but no idea if it works but it was sgs kernel flasher. or you could just go download his kernel from rootdev.org
