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.

Yes. If you check the bible in the dev section there is a link to the stock kernel i believe.
So would I be able to flash the kernel back to stock through cw or would I have to use odin? I'm just trying to see if there is a way to go back to stock kernel without using odin.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Probably... but over 3g? it's probably gonna take HOURS.
I have wifi that's pretty fast will that work?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
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.
Sent from xda app on vibrant running Trigger 2.9.2 with overstock 2.2.1
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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
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!=)

Hi guys
Is there a way I can find a stock rom and flash it using custom recovery? If so, where can I find the stock Tom in the first place? I've checked the internet and did a search but I couldn't find anything
Thanks

I think that you have to flash stock ROM by KDZ, cause original/stock ROM has different format, is not a .zip file which you can flash by recovery.

Well, I'm actually looking for a zip file that is flashable on custom recovery (preferably CWD). I'm unable to flash kdz files.

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.
