With Mobile Odin Lite you need to flash the kernel and so it directed me to the thread on here.
So I downloaded the kernal from the thread on here and tried to Flash with Rom Manager.
But Rom Manager can't flash it because it boots into 3E recovery.
So I put the kernal on my sd card, went into 3 finger CWM recovery and tried to flash it manually. But it said installation aborted.
So is there any way I can overcome this problem? I need it, of course, to flash the ics leak today?
Thanks for any help!

What are you on about here? You don't need any specific kernel to be able to flash ICS. It contains its own kernel in the Rom.
However, I would advise you not to download the ICS Rom from sammobile and flash blindly, because you'll lose root (if you have it). Better to wait for one of the Devs (probably chainfire) to double-check if the already rooted ICS CF kernel can be used for the new leak or not.
More than likely, they will create a repack of the ICS Rom, containing the root kernel inside. Now, you should download this repack and flash it using Mobile Odin.
So forget about flashing any kernels in advance, just sit tight and wait.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. You can flash from Sammobile and not lose root if you use mobile odin. I'm trying to use mobile odin lite but with lite you need to flash a mobile odin kernal before you can use mobile odin. I cant flash that kernal and need help as to how as then i can flash ics without loosing root or hassle.

chainfire repackage the ics leak and put out the download link for it
You can download the official Sprint Galaxy S4 MF9 update tar files here~!! :good::laugh:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720
Here as well.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SPH-L720&pcode=0#firmware
I haven't finished downloading yet or unzipping to see if the file is correct but the zipped file size sends a bit small for an official ROM. Also, they package the kernel separately? That's weird.
Has anyone used these?
Flash the SPR-L720VPUAMF9-20130626162512.zip via TWRP ?
Then the KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUAMF9-1372121308.tar is flashed via Odin?

I used it myself and it worked very well. For me, a fresh MF9 flash via PC Odin was more stable and smoother than doing the MDL to MF9 update.
If you flash the full MF9 tar, you don't need to go back and flash the kernel tar.
Thank you!
I am on MDL w/ many mods.
I guess I am gonna have to go this route, although, phone is working as I like.
But, I guess I have to continue to move forward?
Sigh, I also will guess after doing this will wipe out everything, and I have to start all over.
Definitely gonna perform a fullbackup first, and then remove my ext. sdram.

Does one lose root and custom recovery if flashed either via odin or via cwm/twrp?
I should say, can i still flash supersu if i flash this file or do i have to reroot/unlock my phone again?

Yes, you'll lose root and custom recovery. After flashing this, use Odin again to flash a custom recovery then flash SuperSU within custom recovery to gain back root.
Is it possible for someone to make a NOData version. (Got kind of spoiled from the E4GT)

Can someone give me the noob guide? Can I flash this over rooted stock and have a "legit" binary when I go into download mode? If so, what's the simplest way to flash?

It's pretty simple. First, backup all your data and media then perform a factory reset from the phone's Setting menu.
Shut the phone down and enter the stock recovery mode. Open Odin on your laptop or desktop, connect your phone, select the tar file, and flash your phone. You'll be back to 100% stock.

Then you will need to reroot using odin and then reflash a ROM.

Can someone please please please torrent this? These download sites are ungodly slow, and since I accidentally cancelled the download on hotfile, I can't redownload it again for awhile.

I am not very good with the S4 since it is my friends phone I have a note 2. If I flash the full MF9 via odin then all I have to do is CF auto root again and my friend it rooted again?
If I use ODIN do I have to edit ODIN to show phone bootloader update checked before I flash the MF9 tar?
Anyone have a suggestion on how to rooted back once the update to MF9 is done beside CF auto root method?

Yes! Use CF-Autoroot to root and be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc. or you'll kill your phone.
Check this out for what it should look like.
I am sure they are on here somewhere. I have been searching for 20 minutes now. I am looking for the newest stock kernel for my htc one.
3.4.10-gcfc57d3 is the one I am looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction, all I can find is all the modded kernels. Thanks.
The firmware contains the boot.img, find the right firmware and extract it from the zip.
A stock backup will also contain it.

Thanks, can I just flash this boot.img with twrp or should I zip it and flash? I found the file in the root of the rom, just wondering the proper way to flash it. Thanks.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
Are you sure you just need the boot.img?
I flashed bulletproof kernel and want to put it back to stock kernal. Will that take care of it for me?

Yes. Just pull it from the rom.zip you flashed and use fastboot to flash it.

Anyway to go back to stock without computer or wiping, I have the 920T stock rom with skyhigh 3.3 kernel.
Are you asking about the stock rom? Kernel? For rom you'll need to flash the stock image from sammobile for your variant
No I have the stock rom I need a non rooted kernel to undo root.

In that case you could extract the boot.img from the stock image downloaded from sammobile or wherever, convert it to .tar and flash it through odin. There is tons of information on how to convert img to tar

I haven't find the way to downgrade the stock bootloader, but if you want to flash older stock rom, you can un-Tar the stock .tar.md5 file using 7-zip or anything equivalent, delete the .bin files in it, Tar it again (keep the format .tar), then flash it with odin

Will try later. Thank you. My bootloader is RH3 I suspect it is the reason why older lineage roms doesn't successfully flash.
