Guys,
Before I raise some expectations, let me clarify that I am not an expert developer.
I was trying to compile the kernel for SGA and was using the source from http://opensource.samsung.com/ ( Samsung open source portal )
I had used the instructions given in the README and was using g++ from http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1592
When I try to compile the kernel ( stock settings ), it dumps out zImage of around 3Mb.
When I try to flash it using SGS kernel flasher (https://market.android.com/details?id=neldar.sgs.kernel.flasher&feature=search_result) , it says file too big.
Any ideas where I might be going wrong.
Any help would be appreciated
Does the sgs flasher even work with the ace?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
The phones mentioned under supported were Samsung phones like Galaxy S. Captivate, Fascinate.
That is why, I thought I will give it a try. I have posted a query on SGS flasher thread and will get a reply soon.
Anyways,
Is there a way to know what is the limit on size of zImage supported by the device?
What are the other alternatives available for flashing this kernel ? Odin ?
Any way to check the sanity of this compiled kernel ( emulator )
Thanks in advance
you can't flash zImage for galaxy ace with SGS kernel flasher.
the step that you must to do is:
-dump boot.img from phone or grab from official firmware .tar.md5.
-unpack the boot.img
-replace the zImage (kernel) and keep the ramdisk
-repack boot.img
-make tar.md5
-flash with odin

Hi guys.
Here's a little update what i've done with my phone.
Last night i have flashed ICS KP8 through ODIN.
I have reverted to GB this morning 2.3.5 and now i want to flash my stock firmware 2.3.4 I9100XWKI4 (TWO).
I have downloaded the desired ROM (I9100XWKI4_I9100XXKI1_I9100OXFKE1_HOME.tar.md5) from SAMMMOBILE but when i extracted it it only contains 1 file of size 539MB.
So...this is my question...where am i supposed to put that file in ODIN and do i need something else or just this file?
Tnx in advance
Follow instructions from the firmware provider makes sense .
No idea whats in the file from another forum .
Usual is to flash tar via PDA .

Maybe it's a one part .tar file? (Just to put in PDA)
Pls write the name of file here.
But to get sure, download the firmware, u want, from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Flash like instruction says and all should be fine
PS: If u want to be sure what's on with downloaded file, pls complete name...
CHEERS
Tar.md5 "one big file" roms just go in the PDA slot and Odin will work it out.
The md5 bit just means that Odin will do a checksum to make sure the file isn't corrupt, so no need to extract it.
Also make sure you flash the GB bootloaders first, available in the thread linked above

Damn...is it possible that Windows recognized it as zip. file

Hi guys,
I'm new here, sorry if this isn't the right place...
I'm a GS3 owner and just flashed the ROM I9300XXDLJ5_I9300ODDDLI7_INU.
I would like to flash the SpeedMod kernel but before doing that I need to know how do I install the stock kernel if needed.
Can you point to the right direction?
Thank you
If you make a backup, resorting the backup will also restore the kernel
I did, but I don't want to restore the whole thing... all I want is to restore the kernel if needed.
Tell me, extract boot.img from India ROM and make a new .tar with this single file will work?
Thank you

Try to search forum or Google to find your stock kernels flashable zip or tar . Download it.. it will works. But pay attention to ICS / JB difference.. flash right kernel.

you could also extract it from the ROM's file and flash it I guess.
Thank you guys.
Extracted boot.img from Sammy Indian Rom and made a new .Tar using S3 Toolkit.

hi can anyone help i tried flashing my girlfreinds ace over the weekend an gone very wrong somewhere installed update zip then cwm got the file i think i needed ie checfus cygwin stock from sammobile connected odin flash phone bricked .......retraced my tracks tried manually flashing rom with odin fatory reset all with no joy tried to extract the files pda S5830IXXLD3 pda S5830IBTULC1 phone S5830IXXLD2 with cygwin with no joy put the required dll file cygwin needed and now splitfus wont work all i think i need is the above file but have trawled the net and cant find them anywhere any help please..................
When flash stock firmware you must have 4 files PDA,CSC,MODEM,PIT. If firmware is one package then you can split it via splitfus. I recommend 4 files stock firmware. It is easy to flash.Search in Development and General Section, you will get your country's stock firmware.
Hit thanks if I help

If you have trouble installing a custom recovery and CM, just use the CM installer. I dont think you can install CM by Odin. CM installer is the easiest possible way to install CM.
Wrong section mate!
