SGS kernel flasher says not supported. With so many kernels out there for us, is there any simple way of flashing kernels back and forth other than Odin?
Think we got to stick to cwm for now.

this would be just restoring system?
A nandroid backup will backup your kernel. I've never used sgs kernel flasher or Odin since there's no point if you can just use cwm

That requires backing up the entire rom, i just want to back up the kernel.
Nandroid does NOT backup kernel or modem. It only backs up System, Data, Datadata/dbdata, cache, and dalvik.

But when you restore one, you end up on the kernel you had in that backup

Here is the CM9 ICS Kernel from #13. You can keep this on your sdcard and flash it anytime easily. It is only the kernel and will not mess with any other settings. So if you decide to try out a different ICS kernel and want to swap back just flash this CM9 KERNEL REVERTER http://db.tt/o1IOmK4d

Yes it does. I can do a miui flash from any stock rom, restore my nandroid, and not only am i back to a platypus kernel, but it has the same oc/uv, g governor and scheduler as before flashing to stock. Try it,i think you would be surprised. I don't know if it had to do with the version if cwm used or the type of ROM its used on. But i know it will restore a kernel.

Hello, I have been using darky 9.5 rom for a while without problems but today CM7 launched the long waited nightly and I decided to try it. I made a backup from the dark core recovery and then flashed the CM7 rom perfectly. I didnt like it at all so I wiped everything in order to restore the darky backup...
And then the problems came up. The restore said successful but the phone stuck at first GT-I9000 logo. I reverted the phone to stock and installed clockworkmod but still cant boot into the rom. However, I can restore my first stock backup so I think its a boot.img problem or something like that.
Can I delete boot.img from the folder and try to restore with a darky rom installed? It should be the same boot.img
Its not a big deal but I hate to reinstall all my apps from the market and configure them!
Thanks!
Install the "stock rom" with kernel speedmod and bootloader that are in Sourceforge in CM7 (GT-I9000 FROYO full PDA) , after wipe all .
OK, restore your backup

So the order is:
1. Back to stock rom
2. Root the rom
3. Install speedmod
4. Install bootloader
5. Wipe
6. Restore
Am I right? Thanks!
The speedmod is including in the rom (is full rom stock with mod kernel)

you run the factory\reset and all wipe by cwm?

Yes I did. Probably the backup is corrupted. I spent all this morning installing again the darky rom and configuring all my apps. Thank you anyway
I had the same problem, im not professional but I think its becouse Cm7 is 2.3.4 and Darky is 2.3.3...
I firstly flashed Froyo w/ bootloaders and then I installed Darky v10.
After that I want to CMW >advanced restore and restored my /data so I got all my programs back
hey
im currently running rooted ICS 4.0.3 XXLQ2 that i rooted with the CF-Root kernal.
My question is, is there an Abyss kernal that i can flash over that with ODIN so i can use it instead?i hear that abyss is safer than CF and you can actually install custom ROMs from it. Also, I'd usually find this info myself but everything i can find about it is a bit confused so i would like a simple yes or no answer
Cheers
Abyss is a GB kernel. DO NOT use it on ICS!
Abyss Note kernel is not compatible with ICS.
ah right OK, some folk are saying that it was compatible with ICS, so I take it my best bet for using custom ROMs would be to flash back to stock GB then flash Abyss, yeah?
EDIt: i meant to say, are there any safe custom kernals out yet for ICS that are ROM flashable and wipe-safe?
"ROM flashable and wipe-safe?"
???
once you have a rooted rom with a custom recovery like CWM then you can flash most kernels. Some kernels arn't compatable with some roms but the thread will usauly indicate which roms work best with the kernel.
I most cases when you are flashing a new ics rom it is not safe to do a full wipe.
I have just upgraded to rocket rom v6 i did not full wipe when flashing but once the rom was up and running i just go back to cwn and do a full wipe, seems to work for me.
Hope this gives you some info on the matter.

what i meant by wipe safe and rom flashable is that im not gonna brick the phone by doing a factory data wipe or by flashing a custom rom, from what i have read if you flash from pretty much any ICS kernal to a custom rom its an insta-brick
You had the right idea at first. Some ics kernels (eg Franco, cf and speedmod) are probably safe to wipe with. I say probably because they have had the emmc wipe command removed.
But to be guaranteed, reboot into cwm (assuming you are already rooted) then flash abyss 4.2 GB. I use the red version so I can be sure I am flashing from GB.
Then reboot to recovery. Do not reboot the phone - it will not work - but it will happily boot to recovery. You are now in GB recovery and can wipe with no risk of brick bug at all. Flash any cwm flashable rom. Just make sure you had copied it to your SD card before you started this process!!!

Hi All,
This might look like a silly question but i am really curious to know.
If i make a nandroid backup with a speedmod k3-13 kernel, then i flash hydracore 5.4. i go to cwm and choose to restore the nandroid backup i made with speedmod, what will happen?
does the nandroid restore ... put the speedmod back in?
sorry for the example but all i wanted to ask was
is it ok to do a nandroid restore made a particular kernel to be restore on a different one ?

I haven't tested it on Note but I have tried it on my ealier phones (X10i, Optimus 2X , Desire) and it always worked fine.
Restoring backup will change the kernel too (the one included in backup).
so ideally it should just change the kernel that's included in the backup and restore normally right ?

Yes, ideally it will. basically it's like flashing a different rom, I have seen few developers distributing their roms as nandroid backup.
From my personal experience there could be issues if different version of CWM are used for bkup and restore.
I always do as follows and this way works for me with no issues:
1) bkup with any kernel
2) restore with speedmode or abyss 4.2
so if I backup with philz kernel and restore with speedmod won't that be diff version of cwm?
Hi all, so I'm currently looking for a way to go back to stock Touchwiz (4.0.3) from CM10.
I'm currently running CM10 and i do have a Nandroid backup from when I was on Touchwiz (and running PhilZ safe kernel), but the thing is I've been running CM10 for a few months and have a lot of new data stored on my phone.
So instead of backing up anything new and just restoring my backup, could i just flash a stock firmware through ODIN or CWM on top of CM10? Or if I tried that would I have to wipe anyway?
Thanks any help appreciated.
going back from custom to stock causes boot loops and a wipe will be necessary. so better do a nandroid backup of th current rom, then when in stock rom, use tb to restore data using the nandroid backup.

Ok this thread is dead but I will have to revive it now because I wanna do the same thing.
I have been on Cm10 and wanted to go to Alliance ROM today. So like a complete idiot I flashed pre-rooted KJ1 gingerbread ROM from Dr.Ketan over my CM10 and got stuck in a boot loop. Luckily had a nandroid backup and now restoring as I type.
What is the correct process to go from CM to stock GB or ICS?
Any and all help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Kaushik
EDIT: I flashed the pre-rooted GB ROM because I wanted to do a full wipe and then flash over to stock ICS and then to Alliance JB ROM.

Either flash using PC odin. after flashing if on GB, boot into recovery and do a factory reset. If on ICS, install a safe kernel (eg,Philz) and reboot recovery and do a factory reset,
OR
Flash a custom GB or ICS rom using recovery after all wipes and formats (system, data, cache)
I'm currently running a rooted stock ICS w/Chainfire kernel.
I'm going to try one of the leaked JB (LSA to be exact) along with the associated Philz kernel.
My only concern is that if I don't like or have too many problems with JB and I want to go back and restore my ICS nanadroid backup.
Question: IF I do need/want to restore my ICS backup from JB, would I run the restore from Philz kernel or reload back Chainfire kernel and then do restore?
Thanks
Restore from philz kernel will do the job

Restoring my CWM recovery will do..its just like restoring a Restore Point in PC (here even the data will be restored)..
