Flash a kernel any other way besides Odin? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am curious if I can flash a kernel from CWM. For some reason I can't get my phone to show up in Odin and I have tried different USB ports as well as different cables. I am currently running Slim Bean with the kernel it came with. Just looking to swap it out for the devil kernel the thread recommended for a smoother feel.

That's the main way you flash a kernel. Just get the .zip file and flash it through recovery.

Thank you sir. I figured it was possible that way I just read a couple posts indicating flashing through recovery wasn't the best idea.

If anyone else happens to read this and is considering doing the same thing with the Slim Bean ROM just know it went through what I thought was going to be a boot loop. It booted to the devil kernel screen, then flashed up the at&t screen before returning to the kernel screen then it booted without problem.

screen issue

I got 5 days with my note I don't know if this happens on gb because I opened the box and flashed cm9.. what is happening is the screen has great colors but it blinks from perfect color to yellowish tint and back to perfect colors.. Is this a known issue? or cm9 kernel related issue? I'm trying to find another kernel that works with cm9 but seems that most are for tw...
I need to know this cause I can use my warranty to get a new 1 but if this its a cm9 issue I will have the same with the new phone so no point on getting another 1 if I can't reproduce the issue in the store with gb stock rom/kernel

think it might me a hardware thing, im also a big fan of CM but never had the issue you described, im also on stock CM kernel.
How i go back to GB is just put it in download mode and flash GB with odin and wipe everything afterwards in stock recovery.

Please please please help

Hello all, I was running Rocketrom v10 on my Note with notecore v13 kernel. Everything was going great, but decided to Gove phone to my wife (got myself an s3), so I went into the phone menu and chose factory reset. It seemed to work, but now it won't boot, the galaxy note screen loads, then it just gels blank. I couldn't get into recovery, but I could get into downloader, so I successfully flashed a pre rooted GB Rom in Odin, everything worked, Odin reported it passed, and the phone rebooted, but again it goes to the galaxy note screen, then just goes blank. I'm at a total loss, still can't get into recovery ( in saying that with the new GB Rom I'm not sure that recovery is installed-I followed the guide in the forum) I'm at the stage where I am pulling my hair out. If I could get to recovery I know I could wipe everything, but I can't been do that. Any help would be massively appreciated

You had been on Notecore kernel and now have flashed GB rom successfully. That mean you are not having any dangerous kernel for now.
Should go into recovery, wipe cache and data then reboot system.
If it still not working well then try to flash another GB rom (should be able to download from Dr.Ketan's thread. cheers.
Cheers for the reply, but I can't boot into recovery, doing thenwhole volume up plus home button plus power, no joy. Getting balder by the minute

Chrack´s JB 4.1.1 XXLS2 DBT Rom Flash issue

Hello
I'm very keen to install and try this ROM, but I'm having a strange issue. I flash Phil's kernel first, reboot recovery, wipe and install which all goes fine. When aroma install is complete and phone reboots I get the white Samsung screen for 30 seconds or so then phone seems to reboot itself, screen goes black briefly then Samsung logo reappears for a second and I get dumped back into Phil's CWM recovery.
I have checked MD5 of ROM download, no problem there. I've tried different versions of the install from aroma (lite version etc). Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. No one else in his thread has reported problems like mine. Anyone with ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
try with hydracore kernel
Well turns out the md5 didn't match up. I had checked it after downloading and all was good, but something must have gone wrong on copying it over to my SD card. My fault. Up and running now though and it's a great ROM!

Trouble upgrading to 10.1 + Icebolt

Edit: I am on a GT-P7310
So I went from one of Safarikings stock roms to C-o-M's CM10.1 + icebolts latest 1.1.2.3 kernel.
I hit a boot loop.
I went into recovery, wiped literally everything, flashed CM10.1, Icebolt Kernel, and Gapps.... Now I am in a bootloop, just showing the boot animation to 10.1.
Any help to get my tablet working again? Going back to stock ICS and upgrading would be fine, or even getting CM10.1 to work from here would be awesome.
Thank you in advance.
Odin back to the stock rom. You can find it at sammobile.com

Installing CM 10.1 on p1000

Hey, im a noob so heres my problem, ive experimented alot on my p1000 and one thing that bothers me alot was the video playback which was either choppy or laggy on CM so ive always restocked it back to GB. I think the solution for this is to use another kernel other than CwM. IS there any other kernels that i could try, the ones that could result in very good hd playback once im on a custom rom?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
First kernel and CWM are two different things CWM is one of the recovery mode.
For HD videos... You can use CM 10 or 9 or give AOKP SGT7 a try.... They are much stable...
Sent from Android
Ok so kernel and cwm are different i get it, but could you tell me how to install the heimdall kernel on p1000 step by step? Ive read from somewhere that it could improve hd video playback. And ive already used cm 9 stable and there is no cm 10 stable yet before but the problem persisted. . .

Heimdall is a tool to flash ROM/kernel.
It is not a kernel. You read wrongly.
Find the same article and read again with the new understanding of what heimdall/kernel/cwm are, and see if you can make out what is that that was recommended.

Yes you're right, I kinda read wrong, the article said about the humberos, now that is a kernel right? I've installed it, and I realized that its a modified version of CwM but the real question is that do I have to keep using the firmware from humberos or could I use other custom roms like SGT7 aokp or Cyanogenmod?
It should be fine using it with other ROMs as long as both are from the same android version
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Humberos is the guy's nickname. His ROM and kernel may also be referred to as Humberos.
But he made kernels back from Gingerbread days.
So we better know which one you flash.
You can use his kernel, for example his JB kernel in, in cm10 and aokp jellybean.
you can use his ICS kernel in AOKP ICS, CM9, and so on.
For CM10.1 it is yet a different kernel.
And it is not just different cwm, the kernel itself is different.

Well ur explanation makes sense, I installed humberos and then humberos's cm 10.1 but the problem was with the camera so I decided to install aokp Sgt7 jb and then the aokp logo goes into boot loop. I then powered off, did the power + volume up and realised that I had installed the cyanogenmld cwm over the humberos. Now what to do?

That's because you installed 4.1.2 ROM with 4.2.1 kernel... It is better for you I'd you restock then update again... And please please please install the ROM with it's kernel because both of them are good AOKP or CM
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Actually from the description, installing aokp sgt7 jb after running cm10.1 should not be an issue as long as you do the 3 wipes (cache, data, dalvik-cache).
aokp sgt7 will replace the cm10.1. But nevertheless, if it is still looping, do the restock.
They are all using CWM 6.x nowadays, it doesn't really matter, but the kernel has to be for the right ROM.
BTW, too many people think cm10.1 is just a little update from cm10.
It is not. It is a completely new framework. Treat it as a different ROM.
So all I gotta do is restock back to GB, root GB, install the humberos cm 10 kernel from SD after wiping everything, and then install aokp Sgt 7 or cm 10 right?

ok well ive flashed the overcome kernel and then I flashed the overcome 4.1 aka the overcome experience and its actually quite fantastic. On my way to flash JB from CM. btw do I have to register the divx licenses? as well as other licenses?
ok im using overcome 4.1.0 and its fabulous. but before I go towards JB, can someone pls explain how to wipe the 3 caches using the overcome kernel, since its quite new to me? also when flashing to cm jb, do I have to clear the caches and then install from internal sd card? Is that how I upgrade it, not clean install it?
ok so I flashed aokp and the big problem is that it installs cwm over the overcome kernel and so the video problem still persists. Isnt there a way to remove the cwm recovery from the aokp rom?
You got it all wrong.
in P1000, recovery is included in the kernel.
Overcome kernel has cwm 5.0
Aokp kernel and cm kernel has cwm 6.0.
Wipe cache and wipe data are there in main menu of cwm.
Wipe dalvik cache is in Advanced menu.
You have overcome ROM 4.1, boot to cwm and flash aokp a few times until it is done, then flash gapps.
Reboot.
There is never a need to remove cwm. Where do you read such idea?

I didn't read it, I just thought about it. Anyhow, I flashed aokp a few times just like you said, and flashed gapps (obviously), but result is still the same. I'll post a video ASAP on the video playback performance that I'm still complaining about...
Video is a kernel/codec related problem.
It is not logical to link it to gapps or cwm.
