Quick question, hopefully easy for someone far wiser than myself, how do I rip the zImage from my currently installed ROM. And, from what I read from other threads, I can simply inject it into another kernel's flashable zip?
I have no copy of flappp's ICS kernel. I'd like to rip it off my phone for safe keeping. Someone in general posted links to his JB kernels. If I just replace the zImage in one of those with the zImage from my phone, it would then be the same difference -- it would work if I was to reflash BS in the future?
There was an app that I used back in the captivate days that would do this but no idea if it works but it was sgs kernel flasher. or you could just go download his kernel from rootdev.org

I know there is a CWM flash for kernel back support, and i know we have a stock JFD kernel CWN flash file. My question is, could someone get a JI6 Kernel CWM flash file like we have for JFD?
I know the back support kinda renders this request useless, but still, it's be nice to have the new JI6 kernel in case people are nandroiding between JI6 and JFD for tests and for future uses.
really? no one knows how to do this? Hell, if i have instructions on how to do this, i'll do it. i just don't know where to start.

Flash one of the custom ROM's. i.e. bionix 1.8
It's very easy to create your own flashable zips for any kernel of your choice.
For the JI6 stock kernel pull the zImage from one of the JI6 based ROMs (note - don't use the ones that are packaged with JAC's or KK's kernel). Unzip the stock JFD kernel flashable zip you have (i.e. from the Frankin-Twiz thread) and replace the zImage with the one you just pulled. Rezipp everything and voila you have your very own recovery flashable kernel.

Not what i wanted. the custom roms do kernel back support, which i already have the flashable zip for. That gets me no closer to having a flashable JI6 kernel, only JFD kernel.

Thank you very much for this. i'll work on it a bit today and test it out. thanks!
Hello, I own a Fascinate and I am currently helping a friend with his Vibrant because I bricked his intercept, I don't want to make the same mistake again. I highly recommended to him that he get the vibrant instead of an iPhone 3GS because I honestly think it's a MUCH better device. But now I have a few questions.
I know that you all also use Odin to flash tar files onto the phone but wanted to know what I needed to start with?
I already know how to root the phone and how to get into recovery mode as those two things are similar to the Fascinate, however one thing I noticed is that this phone is basically to a i9000 what a Fascinate is to a Mesmerize. That being the case, there is ALOT more ROMs for the Vibrant than there are for the Fascinate. So I wanted to know a few things.
What is the best vodoo kernel (newest) that isn't overclocked and is at stock voltage?
What is the most popular ROM?
Are the radio/modem files also tar files that you flash through odin or are they zip files you install through recovery?
Should I unlock the phone before or after flashing any of this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
A good place to get these answer is the stickies in the dev section. The one labled when in Rome is a good jump off point. You'll find supercurios stock voodoo kernels there. He's posted both tar and zip varieties. Most kernels here will be zip flashable. There is an app called sgs kernel flasher that can use both zip and tar.
Best Tom is a matter of opinion but most follow EDT, Eugene and Team Whiskey. I prefer my simply galaxy/honey series but I'm biased.
EDIT: most modems are zip here. KB5 modem seems best right now but other factors play into that such as your location.
Overstock kernels are also good.

I got a Telus Note today, and of course first thing I do is try to root it. But I didn't read the directions well enough so wound up flashing a GB kernel and softbricking my phone.
I couldn't find a stock ICS kernel, so I downloaded a stock rom and extracted the kernel. If anyone needs it, here it is in an odin flashable tar so you don't have to download and flash 500megs of firmware...
(Hope this isn't in the wrong forum, if it is let me know and I'll move it)
stock rom

Hello do you still have the original ROM or the link to it? I'd like to flash back to complete stock. Thanks!
SO I have been tinkering a little with kernels and whatnot, but forgot to take a nandroid backup of my stock setup.
Just a quick question to ask, if I want to return to my stock kernel, is there a download link for it or am I sorta screwed in that respect?
Having said that despite not really being sure of the Perseus benefits, it does seem quite better on battery!
Thanks

You can get the stock kernel from downloading an odin package.
From the odin package, rename the I9300abcdf.tar.md5 to 19300abcdf.tar changing the extension.
Then you can extract the tar file and get the boot.img which is the stock kernel.
Then, you can drag and drop it and replace the existing kernel in any rom.zip file that you are going to flash.
Now you have stock kernel. :good:
Sorry if this is complicated. :3
If you're using an official firmware with custom kernel, just flash the same firmware via odin. Stock kernel replaces whatever was there.
If for custom roms, most will use stock or maybe slightly modified so just flash the rom again in cwm. The kernel in the rom will replace anything you had.

Hi guys, does anyone have jhls2 modem for s2 by chance?
I've been looking everywhere for it and I can't seem to find it,
It's the only modem left for my region that i haven't tried, the others really Suck!
Thanks in advance.
Find the rom it's bundled with (Samfirmware/AndroidFirmwares.net/Samsung-Updates.com), download the rom, extract the modem.bin file, flash with Odin in phone section. Might be quicker than hoping who has the modem seeing your thread (understatement).
DONE!
thanks man, i found it in samfirmwares somewhere, did as you said, aaaaand its working.
I uploaded the modem here in case anyone was looking for it, cheers .
Good man Well done on getting it done yourself, and good job uploading it to this thread for future reference :good:
Edit to add - Also for future reference/anyone else who reads this thread, once you've got the modem.bin file out of the stock rom, you can also take any CWM flashable modem package you have laying around, take the existing modem.bin file out of that, and swap in the modem.bin you pulled out of the stock rom. That way you can bypass Odin & flash with CWM as per usual if you prefer. Either way works just fine.
here is a CWM flashable JHLS2 modem. and for those who are interested, yes its better than any other for Orange-IL.
