I know its a process to switch from these yo other Roms, but what about flashing from one to another? Because they are mtd is it ok to switch from one to another without the Odin process?

Yes. MTD to MTD only requires you to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache.

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.

yea i wanna know if this can work...obviosly with full wipe on cwm before hand or is there something that i may have to do also.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Yep. Just full wipe before.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It depends on the process you use and what CM9 based ROM you choose. If you format /system, and you use a non-Aroma .zip, you need to flash twice in a row. More help and info can be found in the thread of the ROM you choose.
ok im using this method and files from this vid

I forgot that that doesn't work for some reason. I'll try to find the stock ROM, if I can. The closest thing may be 2.3.6 though.

You can try it, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Unless you're asking me if you can flash 2.3.6, in which case, the answer is yes. In case something goes wrong, you may want to backup.j
Here is the stock U.S. - 2.3.5 ROM.

Note: this is the kernel and system.rfs only.

Yeah, your right... The only reason, I can think of, that it wouldn' t work is if he ghetto lagfixed... I created that file and have used it plenty of times and it should work....

What ROM are you flashing back to stock from? If I may ask.
And are you still having issues getting it to load?

You should try booting to recovery and wipeing cache and data... You probably still got some jelly bean stuff foating around. Might want to flash a kernel too. Entrophy's daily driver if U.S; rj's if INT.
Any success because I'm in the same boat you are but just thinking about buying a new one. I feel like it's going to be extremely to complicated to fix.

Ok so I've flash a couple of Roms in the past dew weeks...but now ..anything other than stock works with the camera.
As soon as I clean flash a new room and open the camera it says "camera failed"
I've tried clearing cache, wiping app data. .. Clean installs. Dirty installs...All kinds of installs lol. Wth!.
Any ideas?
Solved! Thanks to @Soooperstar for suggesting the fix initially.
***Solution***: flash the stock TW Kernel or any other TW based kernel from the threads and it should work.

I JUST STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUE GLAD YOU POSTED YOUR FIX :good:
Mine does this intermittently too. Just go into app manager and clear the data for the camera app and it starts working again. I haven't figured out what's going yet but this fixes it. When you flashed the kernal did you also wipe cache and dalvik?
If so that's probably what actually fixed it for you...
Nope. I didn't wipe. It has not happened at all after the kernel flashed and I fixed permissions.

If you are running MJ4 this will work for you.
Download the kernel attached at the link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6q9vdr16qjw7g1c/SM-N900P_Stock_MJ4_Kernel.zip
Move the file to your SD or ext SD.
Boot into recovery
Select install
Find the kernel and swipe right to flash.
Reboot.
