In need of link to a 2.1 eclair overstock kernel - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If anyone can link this I would be very very appreciative, I need it to get CWM so I can "flash forward" to some ICS.

There is no eclair overstock kernel, use the update.zip method in the noob guide to install clockwork

Install rom manager it can flash cwm for you... But it's not on the market so your gonna have to push it using root explorer or you could just download an old version somewhere

Update.zip for official froyo?

I'm a Noob... but I am a little informed and so so well read on the forum. Is there a update.zip file just for allowing the phone to recognize permission to let me flash a ROM. Please help
Thanks in advance

By the way I am rooted but can't get file permission
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The update.zip is generated if it's not already there by ROM manager after you click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. You can also select Fix Permissions in ROM Manager if it helps.
Thanks but it was a no go! Its still saying signature verification denied....

Did you use kies mini for stock froyo? It's the 3e stock recovery... Search for the modified stock 3e.

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.

[Q] Overwrite SuperIO with Voodoo?

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.

Rom manager

Hope someone can enlighten me,
when I boot into recovery via rom manager it seems to be an older version of clock work mod with blue writing in which I get signature errors, however, when I boot into recovery manually, I get the newer version with orange writing
Can someone tell me if I can get rom manager to boot into the newer version?
Thanx

Isn't it available on Market?
Are you using a CWM and root that works with Rom manager ?????
As in post one Chainfires CWM and Root thread.
CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root
jje
Yeah that's the way I had to use it in the end, but was hoping to be able to use it through rom manager
