I have stock 2.2. Can I flash a rom to it and how?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You can do a couple of things...to have it work with 2.2.
-Odin a Voodoo integrated kernel
-Odin CWM(not sure about this)
OR
-Odin Back to stock JFD--then flash CWM via Rom Manager
You have to Odin whichever way I guess.

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I can't use Odin because I'm a Mac user. I would like to have a stock kernel on hand just in case. Thanks in advance.

I don't think kernels can be flashed thru nandroid. Would be nice tho.
Nevermind, I misunderstood.
I use paralles(spelling) on my mac. Boot up xp and choose which machine to use the phone.. Download either the pda net drivers or download the samsung drivers..then fire up odin..

It's unsigned, but that shouldn't be a problem for Clockwork.

What do you mean by unsigned? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to kernels.

Same as any update.zip, the signature is required for the recovery to allow you to install it. You can disable that in Clockwork. If it causes a problem, let me know and I'll set up the signature stuff. I just haven't configured that bit on this computer.
Eugene373 has several threads with a link to download the stock kernel. Here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784142
here is a thread that looks like its the stock kernel, but i dont think its a zip.
I am actually looking for the same; a stock kernel that can be flashed though clockwork.
for the posters that said kernels cant be flashed through clockwork, Im pretty sure they can as Jac's OC/UV kernel was flashed though recovery

so did this end up working though clockwork? I would also like to go back to a stock kernel, Im on a Mac and dont have ODIN set up
So I'm really new to custom ROMs and recoveries, and I have a few questions. I already flashed ClockworkMod, but if I want to get rid of it, is deleting the update.zip all I have to do? And if I were to make a backup and then flash a custom ROM, but decided to go back to my recovery, it would be exactly like it was before flashing the custom ROM, correct? I think that's about it, thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
First flash the correct kernel (2.1 or 2.2 ) of the one used for your backup. Then restore. Then delete update.zip
After that it will be how you had it

I think in this case doing you would also need to reset the phone and do a cache wipe as well then reboot and it would see as stock
So how would I get my hands on the stock kernel and flash it?

So I haven't had access to a computer the past few days, but how would I flash the stock kernel from the Bible thread? Is it just in an update.zip?

From your phones browser download the kernel. Once in recovery locate the kernal on your INTERNAL sd card and flash it like you would a rom. Hope that helps

Root the phone, and flash the ROM Via clockwork mod recovery
Do you already have root and a recovery?
If so, download, move to sdcard/, go to CWR, install .zip from sdcard, select the file, flash... after about a minute you can select reboot. It will then take about 5-10 minutes to convert your file system to EXT4 (no data lost).
What are you running? Why KA6? KB1 and KA7 are better in my opinion... KB1 was the best for me, not others.
No i have not rooted or recovery. Have no idea how to root or recover. Im running the stock KA6 build from samsung. But phone os slow and crashes after update. I just need step by step directions and i can follow those.

I think that recovery is from Eugene's dead horse kernel. You can post it in dead horse thread. BTW you have to put the rom on external sd to flash with that kernel.
Thanks man.will try that.

Don't worry mate. Just download odin and stock jfd rom and you will be back up and running in 10 minutes.
Check out this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Why not do this? The OP wanted to change kernels without a computer. The kernel flasher does just that.
Besides, Odin should be baseline knowledge if you are going to play around with the Vibrant.
P.S.- I forgot to quote Duboi
Thanks all, I odin back to stock.all is well.

it doesnt let you see recovery, its just another way to do stuff without recovery like using rom manager to flash things
iv been from froyo 2.2.1 to SH3.8 to 3.9 without doing anything in recovery so you dont really need the bootloaders
U didn't odin to stock? Mine kept force closing n rainbowing even after start up. I flashed lates sh through rom manager but same deal.

no but i went to 3.3 first through recovery and wiped then flashed 3.8 (3.9 wasnt out when i did it) through the CWM app and that wiped again i think then i flashed 3.9 though rom manager without wiping
Where can I find cwm app?
