Convert kernel zip to tar tool
It is time to create this thread to help people out who don't simply know how to convert a recovery flashable kernel to a ODIN flashable kernel. I know this is in other forums already but why not make it more convenient for others too?
Update: There are other guides too all over XDA, but it seems my one is better explained!
Check post #4 to see pre-made tar kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57974756&postcount=4
Notice: I am no longer updating the files I provide now. If there is a newer kernel version available and you want to find a tar file for it, you will have to make it yourself.

What you need:
- A kernel in .zip format
- The kernel conversion files (Provided in the attachments)
- A PC (preferably Windows, use JOdin for linux and OS X)
- A archiving/compression utility such as 7-zip or winrar. I recommend 7-zip because it is for free and it is open source.
- ODIN (to flash the kernel of course, again use JOdin for linux and OS X). Also, I have made ODIN installation easier with fewer options!
Instructions
1. Download the CreateTarForKernel.zip attached
2. Extract the CreateTarForKernel.zip, it is recommended to put all of these files in a new folder to avoid confusion
3. Download a kernel zip and extract it in the CreateTarForKernel folder.
4. If you haven't unticked hide extensions for known file types, go to start, search for folder options then go on it, click on the view tab and uncheck hide extensions for known file types, click apply and close the window.
5. Rename the boot.img (or whatever is the name .img) to zImage (remove the .img). If there is a zImage in the kernel zip already, you don't have to do this step. Some kernels have the zImage stored in different folders inside the archive, in this case, you will just have to find the zImage file and move it to the root directory of the createtarforkernel folder.
6. Launch tar.bat
7. Once completed, you can change the tar name to whatever you want, I personally like to keep the file name the same as the name of the kernel zip but I add '-for ODIN' at the end.
8. This is just an extra step but to ensure that you have done the conversion properly, look at the converted kernel tar file size. (It should be about the same size as the kernel zip file with the exception that some kernel zips have extra files in them such as dorimanX, kernels are usually more than 6.0 MB in size)
9. And flash KERNEL.tar or {whatever}.tar with Odin (AP or PDA)
If you like a kernel that has been included in a ROM but doesn't have a separate kernel zip file to flash, you can use this tool to do the same thing and flash the kernel that you like!
I've also included ODIN and Samsung drivers in the attachments
Thanks to exadeci for providing the conversion program to xda and thanks to TrollFactory for making the tool!
This would be good to flash with a pit file Aswell..correct??
ODIN TIME.......... ding dong !!!
thanks

Usually pit files requires you to flash a rom at the same time too as it will remove ALL of your phone's data.
For now on, please post all questions and other stuff in our q&a thread in the q&a forum.
Uploading DorimanX and gustavo odin flashable kernels to mediafire.... Will also upload ancient DorimanX versions for people who don't like to upgrade, ancient versions are extremely hard to find like finding gold and dorimanX has deleted the stable verion of v7 too.
Update: All uploaded now!
Sorry, DorimanX 7.26 is for ICS, or stock JB?

7.26 is for JB and for ICS. It is a stable kernel (Perhaps more stable than any other for stock JB) but it isn't available to download anywhere. But don't worry, I'm found a way to bring it back.
It can be agreed that:
10.44 is the most stable for KK
7.26 is the most stable for JB
5.92 is the most stable for ICS
V8 was ok on JB but AFAIK the official version were still buggy (seems to be fixed with unofficial builds).
Uploaded DorimanX 7.26.

You're talking about the one I uploaded right? Because those were the builds from computoncio. I'm pretty sure that the best version for 8.44 was v004. I will upload the official stable dorimanx v8.43 when I have time. You may have to adjust some of the settings using stweaks. Don't know if dorimanx removed the bus up threshold setting which severely affects responsiveness.

Btw: This Kernel_Dorimanx-V7.26-ICS-JB-13-08--29-11-12-SG2-PWR-CORE.zip is not for JB stock?!. Look at build date.

My bad. Assumed the description 'JB' meant it would support official JB, but apparently not. Will fix when I have time.

I'm switching mirrors from mediafire to mega because of the slow interface that mediafire has.

what is difference between lp-kernel-14-03-TWRP-TRIM-for ODIN.tar and lp-kernel-14-03-TWRP-for ODIN.tar on Gustavo kernel?are these kernels for samsung galaxy s2 i9100?

My new kernel!
Will come in two flavours:
U1 - based on Samsung Update1
U2 - based on Samsung Update2 - Canceled due to release of Update3 sources!
U3 - based on Samsung Update3 - in progress
Features:
support for SetCPU OC (upto 1400MHz)
UV between 800mV and 1400mV
support for Boot Animation
support for BLN
The goal of my first kernel was to take the battery savings gained from HardCORE's kernel and allow undervolting and underclocking to further improve battery life. I added Boot Animation and BLN support just because I could. This kernel adds to my previous kernels, taking bits and pieces from here and there also.
As usual, this kernel could break your hardware, so only flash if you are not concerned with bricking your device.
Thanks also to the authors of Ninphetamine kernel - their SetCPU supporting code was the basis for the SetCPU support in this kernel, I have also used BLN code from their Git Repository, thanks to creams.
Change Log:
U1 - v1.1 - based on Samsung Update 1
New compiler optimisations - partially from SpeedMod, partially my own.
U1 - v1.1a - minor update release.
Increased touch sensitivity
U1 - v1.1b - minor update release.
Init.d support
Future plans:
Auto Root-ing
Auto install modified liblights
U3 version.

Ravenger if you can provide more info about this kernel compared to v1 T27 or v1 T30 would be very appreciated. Thanks
Not being able to flash the Kernel, the entire process Odin hangs in the middle. Tar seems currupt. zImage is only 3.20 mb.

Thanks. Somethin went wrong with my download Manager. Its all OK now. Thanks again.
Thanks for the kernel, there seems to be something wrong with clockworkmod as it doesn't mount usb storage and also installing zip from it doesn't do anything (ie. theme or whatever).
Previous kernels and others work no problem.
Keep up the great work!

Ok then, now that u've read the disclaimer we can continue with me and this kernel.
Frankly i'm no dev, just know a little bit of linux thus i know howto compile kernel, and i like tinkering with kernel to include what i like.
by that i'm learning as i go, so go easy on me please
About the kernel name, MESA stands for Man-Eating Seals of Antiquity, codename for kernel 2.6.32.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_kernel_names
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Roughly features of this kernel include:
- base on Sony's official 4.1.B.0.587 kernel source, so i build this from ground up. patched to upstream 2.6.32.60. ics kernel should work with stock/custom rom based on stock ics 4.1.B.0.431 or 4.1.B.0.587, and jb kernel should work with source based jb rom eg cm10, aokp and pa. personally i've tested this with expeacer's exmiuiv4, lasan's miui, stock ics, fxp's cm10 and aokp jb.
- updated to upstream linux 2.6.32.61.
- hybrid kernel, support stock/stock based, cm9/cm9 based, cm10/cm10 based rom.
- patched with Con Kolivas's patchset that includes bfs task scheduler v0.404, so this is a bfs kernel. stock kernel and all of custom kernel here so far uses cfs cpu scheduler. read about bfs cpu scheduler here.
- oc upto 1.8ghz and using 100mhz steps. default boot only use 1ghz.
- uv sysfs interface to modify voltage. i also decrease voltage abit. for anyone who wish to use stock voltage, heres stock voltage table
- cpu governors includes default stock ondemand, interactive, powersave, perfomance and userspace, i've added ondemandx, intellidemand, smartassV2, smoothass, interactivex, brazilianwax, scary, lulzactive, lagfree, smartass, minmax and savagedzen. default booting governor is interactive, its been updated/backported from kernel 3.x. read about cpu governors here.
- disk io scheduler includes deadline, sio, cfq, noop, anticipatory, zen, bfq and vr. default booting disk io scheduler is sio. read about io schedulers here.
- dual recovery, cwm and twrp. access cwm by pressing volume down button and twrp by pressing power button. also can swap those keycode by adding "swap.recovery.keycode=true" to build.prop. phone will vibrate slightly before entering both recovery as indicator. also included autoroot which wont give problem with miui rom, init.d startup script and unsecure ramdisk for adb root access. v4.7 got twrp 2.4.3.0 and cwm 6.0.3.9.
- swap and zram support.
- ext2/3/4 support.
- usb otg support.
- ntfs read/write with fuse module built in.
- samba support with cifs module built in.
- wifi modules integrated into kernel, then added into ramdisk. it will be insmod directly from ramdisk and existing wifi modules in rom wont be touched.
for full itsy bitsy changes read the changelog.txt in download folder.
and to comply and abide with gpl, source diff also included in the download folder.

Howto install:
1- be sure u already unlocked bootloader.
2- download correct kernel for your rom and phone and make sure md5 checksum matches. jellybean rom should use the kernel with "jb" in filename. or just use the new hybrid which support cm9/cm9 based, cm10/cm10 based rom and cm10.1/cm10.1 based rom.
3- if kernel downloaded in *.7z format u need to unpack it using winrar or 7zip.
4- flash the kernel via fastboot.

Troubleshoot:
- ini.d script not working? read this
- stuck at booting after flashing kernel? wait a little bit longer. kernel needs to run some script when booting.
- still stuck at booting? wipe cache and dalvik cache via recovery.

Reporting bugs:
1- if u got freeze problem, paste logcat to pastebin and give me the link.
2- if u got sudden reboot, after the sudden reboot, paste content of /proc/last_kmesg to pastebin and give me the link.
3- also tell me which phone u use, with which rom and which kernel.

Edit: my Rom MIUI v4 2.6.15
Here will be my little contribution to the communauty, since I build my house alone, I don't have time to cook anymore (need to learn android... I'am from WM6.5 kitchen time^^ )
So here is the Idea, Building a collection of modded roms to allow dual boot....
Synopsis :
As you all know, by now, you can not dual boot Samsung official based roms .... but here is a workround, found by some, ( Was inspired by this thread ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120514&page=30 )
My way of modding; (sorry , it was late yesterday when I wrote that... it's corrected now, not /data/appdata but /data/sec_data )
-redirecting /preload/symlink/system/app to /data/sec_data
-removing Kernel and Modem flash files.
-editing update-script accordingly.
My Idea is to maintain an up to date database of modded built that are working in Dual boot.
Configuration is :
1 - Install Any Custom JellyBean ROM Available here at XDA ( CM10,1; AOKP, AOSP, all but SAMMY BASED )
2 - Flash latest DorimanX Kernel V8.X Avaiable. ( http://dorimanx.suckup.de/download/ ) It support any 4.2 rom as 1rst rom, and SAMMY JB official as second boot.
3 - Flash a SAMMY Modded Rom from this repository that work in dual boot as 2nd ROM.WIPE DATA/CACHE BEFORE FLASH & FIX 2nd ROM PERMISSION AFTER FLASH
Enjoy!
( you can now flash 1st ROM the way you want it doesn't affect the 2nd ROM BUT you always need to flash DorimanX kernel V8 after!)
First Modded ROM Available will be NeatROM 4.4 Lite. wich is a good base for a sammy day use rom.
Will upload tomorrow from work.
Feedback is wellcome.
So here is the Modded ROM repository ! Remember, flash it as 2nd ROM!

Don't really know if its the same thing, just seen that the author of the other post tell to read end of the thread as he doesn't have followed all the story.
After reading some page of the thread, I thought it would have been a great thing to have roms already modded avaiable for download.
Will try to make and test as many rom as possible, but I am sure Syah will find a way of dual boot out of the box...
For the time, I hope it will helps someones.

Don't really know if its the same thing, just seen that the author of the other post tell to read end of the thread as he doesn't have followed all the story.
After reading some page of the thread, I thought it would have been a great thing to have roms already modded avaiable for download.
Will try to make and test as many rom as possible, but I am sure Syah will find a way of dual boot out of the box...
For the time, I hope it will helps someones.

It's my thread
There are several Roms already prepared for dual boot. Most of them are made by other users, maybe you read a bit more in there, they have done good jobs on several custom Stock/Stock & AOSP Roms.
But hey, no (zero!) offense, if yours is better organized or more user friendly, it's all good because that's what it's all about.

that's exactly the Idea, I 'm not meant to shine in public, my goal his only to contribute and make it easy to find for people wanting to make a Dual boot environnement with Sammy Jelly Bean.
Will try to make 3 more roms tonight, ( Omega, Wanam for example)
neat rom dualboot work fine in secondary with dorimanx 8.10
primary xtreme v.5beta2
good work
now i tried with any mod- i saw is not possible flash mod in cwm -maybe paste in system/app
edit-crt-off work------flash in cwm mod xtreme v9 4.2 apps-clock 4.2 and camera and gallery 4.2 working
flash alliance mod 2.4 naturally not work totally but now have edge zoom and save a screenshot in power menù
also ink effect work
WanamLite ROM added! Aroma installer preserved.
OMEGA XXLSD V20.1 Added! ( Aroma installer NOT preserved; default install )
hi,
i have Omega on 2nd ROM. Top of the Top for me
i have install many many rom i found between ls8,lsj,lsd, and even xxms1
i now stop this experience , now we have found an easy way with the help of this thread, as you say in post #1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120514 with this cool man , i mean ohwarumbloss
but a repository like yours why not great idea.
thanks

thanks for your support, I feel good with Omega too, it's the last I have Modded.
now I make Bitfor because seems to be a really good piece of work too.
This repository is a way of promoting DorimanX Kernels because its a shame we can't dual boot a Sammy jb easily, for me dual boot is a way of always having a stock rom in my phone....now its easy to do out of the box for everyone.
I hav finished modding Bitfor and testing it. its very fast, no problem at all!
Really a good rom too.
Nice thread OP. You may want to add Space and Time 2.6 ROM if you're interested.
Attention: I'm pretty sure your multiupload links will expire very soon, so please consider reupload the roms to dev-host.
Or I may download these 3 roms and upload here for the community.
This is effin' BRILLIANT!
Thanks!
Never saw a site as worst as depositfiles.com for upload/download...
Dropbox or Vip-files please
Not sure if it's a problem related to WanamLite or this "dualboot mod" but for some reason, the status bar doesn't exist I obviously cleared data & caches. Everything else is working perfectly. I've never encountered anything like this in my two year experience in Android... Anyway, thanks a lot! :highfive: Dualboot rocks
I dont get it. What is about dorimanx v9.x? Or only v8.x works?
because as I understand v8.x - for Sammy based, v9.x - for CM,AOKP.
situation - i need AOKP as 1st, Wanam 14.3 as 2nd. Which kernel i need?

DorimanX 8.x
---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------
The Doriman kernel makes OMEGA v.20.1 sort of laggy.

On another note: Can we be sure it's the DorimanX kernel that gives a laggy experience of OMEGA v.20.1 and not the modification to make it dual-boot able?
I don't have the technical skill and insight to determine what the problem is.

The modifications we made to this roms have NOTHING to do with rom's performance and all things related to this.
There is variant that Dorimanx is not working very good with Omega, because as much I love this kernel it's always beta and not 100% stable.

I have also seen that Omega is a bit Laggy, hoping future updates of DorimanX kernel will resolve this.
Just finished Uploading new roms to the repository... but Bitfor has a new version 7.2..so I keep modding^^
TO bseuhgm :
DoriManX Kernel 8.XX is for any rom except ICS rom. You can use it with CM10.1/AOKP/AOSP etc...
DoriManX Kernel 9.XX is only for CM10.1/AOKP/AOSP etc AND DOESN'T SUPPORT ANY OF SAMMY OFFICIAL JellyBean ROMS
TO ALL : don't forget to do a Fix 2nd ROM Permission after Flash!!!
Code:

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

Now this is nAa 3.x based kernel. Major props to him for making it happen. I thought we all would be forever stuck with ancient 2.6 kernel
The original from nAa is already good enough, but because i know howto compile kernel and feels uneasy using kernel compiled by others, here u go, somewhat extended kernel from the original one.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FEATURES:
Pretty much the same as nAa's, difference is:
1- compiled using Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-42 crosscompiler which is gcc 4.5.2 for kernel 3.4.x and with linaro 4.7-2013.06-1 which is gcc 4.7.4 for kernel 3.0.x
2- my own cpu frequency table with oc upto 1.8ghz with 100mhz steps. slightly preundervolted too.
3- not sure if its just me or the rom i'm using, interactive governor in nAa's seems abit buggy, it stayed at lowest frequency after waking from deep sleep thus making phone lags and unuseable. so i've patched it and make it default governor for kernel 3.4, and ondemand as default for kernel 3.0
4- enabled conservative and powersave cpu governor.
5- lowmemorykiller driver patched from various source
6- some networking stuff eg disabled all packet scheduling algorithm except sfb, and using veno as default tcp congestion avoidance algorithm.
7- using slub memory allocator instead of default slab.
8- enabled and use tiny preempt rcu instead or tiny rcu.
9- enabled sched autogroup.
10- wifi compat-driver is from "old" nAa's 3.4.0 which i think backported from kernel 3.8 or 3.9. current naa 03 kernel, he downgraded to compat-wireless from linux 3.2 due to some people said got connection error. that didn't happen to me so i haven't downgraded it. the 3.0 kernel uses compat-wireless 3.0.9-1.
11- currently patched to upstream linux 3.4.50 for kernel 3.4 and to 3.0.85 for kernel 3.0
12- removed smartassv2 and smartassh3 cpu governor. seems buggy and doesn't work well with kernel 3.4 and 3.0
13- added fiops disk io scheduler and made it default for kernel 3.4, sio as default for kernel 3.0
14- only for cm10. nAa's 03 got all individual ramdisk for stock, cm9, cm10 and cm10.1 ramdisk so it should boot with all those roms but i've only added cm10 ramdisk. if kernel detected that booting rom is not cm10 or cm10 based it'll force boot into recovery.
15- modules will be insmod directly from within ramdisk. existing modules in rom wont be touched.
16- miui based on cm10 compatibility by adding its required services in ramdisk.
17- stweaks support for kernel 3.0
18- probably many small things i forgot...
for more geeky bits by bits changes, read changelog.txt

BUGS?
it inherit the same bugs from nAa's kernel, probably more due to what i changed. but do not, i repeat, do not report bugs in any rom thread if u chose to use this kernel instead of default provided kernel in rom zip. by doing so u just made life harder for those rom maker/compiler. i'll *****slap anyone who does so.
but if u still want to report bugs, report to me and provide logs. without logs i'll just ignore it.

Hmmm...the title is a bit wrong my friends...it should be 20130609 not 20130509
anyway i will be watching this thread regularly cause i'm using your kernel right now...

Pardon me but what about slow SD Card speed while copying from PC?
I experienced that before on nAa kernel

If I'm not mistaken, mike said he already solved it in his cm10.1 but i cannot seems to find any related commit in his github, or any other github that forked naa's. If anyone could point me to exact fix for it then I'm more than happy to include the fix.
edit: probably this one?

Exactly. I already wrote clearly in thread title, in first post and in changelog. Thats why i changed boot init script to force boot into recovery if booting into unsupported rom. Spare them hassle of watching lags and systemui crash.
Should've made the script to trashed and corrupted partition tho, teach them unforgettable lesson to read properly :sly:

Nothing. Wifi should always be fully working. Modules are called directly from ramdisk, not involving any files from rom. But if its not working, logcat and dmesg would be awesome.

u tested usb otg?
wow kernel size decreased alot compared previous version. seems you removed adblock right
Thanks to XperiaSTE team for the overclock kernel source first. I just did the config and compile but nothing else.
This kernel will overclock your device to 1.15GHz. The overclocking will provide a better performance and a smoother user experience.
I'm using a kexec multiboot kernel on my device, so I didn't test the kernel packed as elf format. It should be good because I have done flashing the self-built kernels several times.
The overclock source doesn't seems to be the latest but everything works~ Maybe that's because the modules in initramfs? (I did nothing to initramfs)
It's nearly impossible for me to upload the kernel on something like devhost/mediafire, so sorry for that. Could someone upload it on these sites please?
V2 Changelog:
1) Use GCC 4.9 Linaro to compile.
2) Change the SLQB allocator to SLUB. I don't really think SLQB is stable.
3) use 2G/2G user/kernel split. It seems to have a better performance.
4) PID namespace
5) NOTE:NO recovery in V2! Instead of recovery, the kexec multiboot menu by @percy_g2 is added. Big thanks to percy_g2. For how to use it, see Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/kexec-multi-boot-menu-t2647623
* To enter boot menu you should press the power key when vibrate
V2 Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgt82V2
V1(Stable) Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTyul07
Finally, sorry for my poor English
Hope you like the kernel~

Thanks for your support!
by doing diff -u to the two xperiap_defconfig, the configs seem to be same.
So XperiaSTE did nothing more to the overclocked kernel.
therefore the config isn't changed and the only change is in the code.
Doing diff to the whole source tree will take much time so i didn't do it
By the github commit the changes seem to be all related to overclocking.

you can read cm-11.0 and overclock branches's commits

Just a suggestion for anyone thinking about flashing it right away:
Wait a couple of days/weeks for someone to do some testing, you could fry your motherboard (happened to me on my previous 2 phones).
I'm not saying this kernel will do that, but it's just a precaution.

I had ever used panthom kernel on stock jb, it used 1.15ghz too but still safe used for a long time..
thanks for the great work.but how to install multi rom on our phones?
If anyone has a problem downloading the kernel from baidu, I have made a mirror on dropbox:

Ofcourse with the permission from the developer
Can someone please explain steps for installing multiroms? Can I use cm11 along with cm10?
Would the existing cm10 need to be reinstalled?
I've given link in the thread
No reinstalling is needed
