Do you have to be rooted for this to work?
Nope, this is going to be done from your computer. Depending on which package you choose it will include root after its finished flashing.

Any one tell me the correct way to flash a new kernel on my vibrant? I am running bionix v 2.2 stock and wanting to try the 1.4 destroyer of worlds kernel ::::new to flashing old kernel 2.6.32.9
Thanks in advanced

Very simple, flash through CWM just like you would any other ROM.
1. Download
2. Place in Root of SD
3. Go to CWMR
4. Install zip
5. Choose zip
6. Yes
7. (Optional) Wipe All
8. Reboot
Wipe all ....do or don't? What are the benefits of wipe all?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I personally don't wipe, but people say that it ensures a safer more proper flash. My phone's just fine and I didn't wipe when I flashed the modem and kernel.
Can I download the new kernel to my phone I don't have a laptop at the moment?

Probably... but over 3g? it's probably gonna take HOURS.
I have wifi that's pretty fast will that work?

I've downloaded a whole rom with poor signal in less than an hour so I don't see why a kernel would take so long.

Wait, you're downloading a kernel...you'll be fine then.
Just move it to the root of the sd card.
Another Question when u say download to the root of sd does that mean my external sd card?

yes........i believe
Does this method apply for flashing a modem too?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
yea it should be just like flashing a rom
Modems and kernels both flash in CwMRecovery just like a rom. Both need to be placed in the internal sd just like a ROM to flash. Although I keep a copy on my external sd and my pc for backups and recomend u do as well.
You can download them directly onto your phone but your chances of getting a bad download go up. To ensure a good download always use a pc with a known good internet connection. Good luck!=)

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.

I had to disable Voodoo in order to flash Eugene's Ginger Clone. Now I would like it back. Which zip file do I need and do I just need to flash it with CWM? And is it going to overwrite SuperIO?

Just flash it with CWM, I did and it worked like a charm. Yes it will overwrite SuperIO.
Can someone post the appropriate zip file I need? I was getting confused by all the choices of Voodoo for different kernels.

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.
