If I take one of the custom kernel zips, and switch out the boot image, do I need to change anything else? For example if I take perseus kernel zip, and just switch out the boot image, will that work? Thanks in advance

No it will not because the stock kernel is not capable of using such features such as Perseus. It's not that simple unfortunately.

Switching out the boot images always worked on htc devices. I just want a flashable stock kernel zip to flash back to if i dont like a custom kernel. I have been enjoying a modded stock rom, and don't want to run a custom rom right now. If it isn't as simple as this, could someone point me in the right direction?

You're saying you want a flashable stock kernel zip? Right? If so, do these VRALL4 and VRALJB kernels work? They are completely stock.
Thank you man, I googled, and dug around for an hour here. This is exactly what I need. Thank you very much. Guess my google foo needs some work.

Does anyone know where I can find the stock JL15 kernel that I can odin or flash that already has root/recovery? I know where to get the stock flash but other changes have to be made for it to work with root/recovery. What I want to do is have nero3 with just the stock kernel, not supercurio's voodoo kernel, without causing any issues.

There isn't a JL15....
I can upload JL5 for you though
I don't have time to make it flashable, so here it is an a zip

I'm curious if anyone else is or has experienced issues with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.1.8?
When I boot to recovery I see, CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
I've flashed CWM 5.8.1.8 and then I see the version change but, if I reboot the phone or reboot recovery it reverts back to v5.5.0.4....
Any tips, tricks, or ideas?

While it's an assumption, CWM stands for ClockWorkMod?

No. Short answer, No.
Long answer, No, I just posted a picture of what i'm using. (did you see it?)
I'm rebooting into ClockworkMod recovery.
I then select install zip from sdcard
I then select choose zip from internal sdcard
and select the appropriate .zip file.
then recovery reboots into v5.8.1.8.
I'm not trying to use any app within the running OS to flash the newer version.
Is that clearer?

Okay that helps me out now that you finally answered my question, so you're trying to flash a newer version of cwm from the older version of it? Or are you flashing a rom too, I never worry about flashing cwm as all roms/kernels have a ones packaged in I feel it's unnecessary

yep, that's all I'm trying to do.
I've done the same thing to upgrade CWM on my old Atrix. So I'm not sure why it isn't working this time... Can't imagine the process would have changed.
I moved the .zip file to the external sd card and flashed it but that still didnt work. it didn't work when i tried to flash it with odin either.

Personally I would just leave it it isn't a huge deal, or flash a kernel that has a newer version

This isn't an Atrix and recovery on the GS2 is not like any other phone. You can flash that zip all day long its not going to do a thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that cwm is baked into the kernel. Without changing to a kernel with the new CWM, it will always come back to whatever the kernel you are running has baked into it.

Absolutely correct. Its not as simple as a good old recovery.img anymore.

Use the Siyah kernel and it has the touch clockworkmod recovery baked in. The others above are correct, it is something that has to be changed in the kernel. When the first touch recovery came out I too tried it the way you did by flashing it in regular cwm. Then you will see and can use it. BUT it does not stick because it has to he added into tue kernel.

It can he used the same way basically with using the buttons for volume +/- and power to select. Or clicking on whatever option, or sliding your finger up or down to the selections and double tapping to select. It is kind of a cool featute bit not that big of a deal. I am using my own personal made version that is basically the same as hos rom and you can use the siyah kernel that came/comes with it and it has the touch version of cwm so you can try it out. I dont usually spend much time while in cwm except to flash things. So it is not a huge deal or deal breaker either way.

Now I'm running a custom ROM with custom recovery. If I ever want to have back the stock/original recovery, what is the possible way? Or should I just flash stock ROM?
You won't be able to replace the stock recovery by flashing over it or anything. That's something in the kernel. Flashing a stock ROM will give you back the recovery though.

Hello, I have recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 running Official 4.0.4. I used a one-click method to root the phone(yes, root is working), and now i am having trouble finding a flashable kernel that has a custom recovery baked inside. I found siyah kernel, and many other kernels, but they only come in downloadable .zip files. I cannot flash these because i do not have a custom recovery to flash the .zip from and Odin doesn't flash zips. I read on another thread to rename the zImage file and put .tar at the end and to flash through Odin, but this didn't work.
Are there any kernels that would work for my phone that i can find in a .tar file to flash through Odin? or is there another way to get a custom recovery onto my rooted S2 so i can flash ROMs?
Thank you for your time.

You should be able to pull the zimage from the flashable zip and flash the zimage with mobile Odin. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here... It's been a while.

With mobile Odin? And just using only the zimage file? Meaning I won't have to type in the .tar extension?

One more question to you Ninja, when downloading Siyah kernel, v4.3.3, is it best to download with or without micswap if i am planning on flashing jellybam? I know it will be easy to tell once I get feedback from whoever I call, and easy to fix by flashing the opposite, but just trying to save time. Thanks in advance.

If you're just going straight to jellybam then it doesn't matter, since when you flash the rom it will flash it's own kernel with it.
