Kernal question - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I remove a kernal after I've installed it? Do I have to re-flash the rom? I'm sure this has been asked before, and I apologize.

Just flash a different kernel right over the top of it. If you're flashig from a Voddo kernel to a non-voodo kernel make sure to disable voodo.

Thanks.

Reflash rom

If I was going to reflash a rom with a kernel that's voodoo enabled coming from a ka6+ voodoo. Will the kernel change?

Flashing any kernel?

I'm led to believe that you can't flash any kernel with any ROM. Is this true, or can I flash any Vibrant kernel with any ROM?

Yes its true. You can flash any rom/kernel combo of the same os such as froyo/froyo or gingerbread/gingerbread with the exception of MIUI and CM7 kernel which will only work for those roms.

So say for example, if I were to flash the Platypus kernel while on MIUI 1.5.27, it wouldn't be a problem?

as long as the kernel is labeled with CM7/MIUI in the title, then it's safe to flash to a CM7/Miui rom.
OK thanks.

How would I flash a kernel in recovery? Do I rename the kernel to "update.zip" or just leave it as is and "install zip from sdcard"?
clockwork recovery?
if so then it doesn't really matter
Name will be irrelevant when you flash from recovery. As you stated, just go to Install from Zip, then Choose Zip file, then pick it out. No specific name is required. "update.zip" is only required when you are trying to initially flash CWM Recovery onto your phone. Otherwise, files for ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc. can have whatever name as long as they are a .zip file.
And SGS Kernel Flasher, free on the market, is easier.

It seems you flashed the wrong Kernel. Go to http://galaxys2root.com/ and follow the steps to install the Zedomax kernel if you want to overclock your phone. Make sure you are looking at the AT&T Galaxy S2 section!

I need a lil help

Im trying to flash a kernel from faux the latest one but from my understanding I have to have a custom kernel so do I have to get a new Rom I'm on stock ics soff unlocked n rooted ?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
just download the kernel zip, go to recovery and flash it as you would a rom. You do not need a custom kernel or another rom
I downloaded it like 3 times n I did do that n nothing
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
did you do anything to check if the kernel flashed right? get "no frills cpu" from the market and check if it lets you go above 1.5ghz
Are you also sure that you downloaded the ICS Kernel and not the GB one?
When its about to install or before install it say faux ics kernel so I know for sure its version 007

I dont have a computer....i need a flashable one through recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Saurom is your only flashable GB build in this section..
Check the super thread at the top of the general section, and scroll down to the roms.
Read "carefully"....before flashing...
Saurom is a loaded version of 2.3.6 with many extras ....I like it ...g
Hmmm. Do you happen to have a backup of your stock ROM (gingerbread). From before you flashed a custom ROM? If so then all you need is the stock kernel and modem. I have a flash able zip for the stock recovery I can give you, but no longer have the kernel and modem on hand.

Well, your only other option is trying Saurom. Its about the only GB ROM you can flash. Otherwise you'll need to find a computer you can use to use Odin and follow the steps in the link I posted above.
