[Q] Backup kernel?

Hi everyone.
I was wondering if there's a way to backup my kernel. (before root)
I want to change the rom I'm using, but due to legal issues I need to be able to revert back to the rom that's installed on my phone now...
I know I can backup through recovery but I need to root my phone first and I cant find this specific kernel so I can go back to it if needed.
So is there a way I can backup my kernel?
Or if anyone knows where I can get this kernel:
I9100JHKF2 ?
Thanks!
You need to download the stock kernel used by your rom, then reflash it when you need a complete stock firmware. I think there's no way o backup kernel without rooting your phone. Flashing with odin increase your binary flash count , flashing inside cwm doesn't not
Why would you want to backup a kernel ???
Firmware yes kernel no.
kernel is only a small part of the firmware and of itself is no use to return a phone to stock .

You install firmware not Kernel .
If their is an update to 2.3.5 then you can update via the same path .

It does not mean your phone was rooted, it comes standard with most stock firmware.

that's my phone specifications after I update my firmware with kies. Before I've done the update the phone was rooted, I've checked with "root check" app and it confirmed the root.

Odin, and I have no idea what all you've done to your phone, so I can't answer the second question.

AS per the instructions .
It will return the kernel to stock but it will not return other firmare to stock and it will not reset the custom rom counter .
Warranty void if custom rom root or custom rom counter above zero .
Easy way is to use Checkfus to download original firmware and flash via Odin .

cool thanks guys .. all i need now is a jig .. to reset the custom binary counter .. am i right?? then i can sell my phone as unrooted stock ??

If you just flash a stock kernel, then maybe, maybe not. If you flash a full firmware, then probably.
