I know there is OC1 and NC2 kernel that can be flashed with Safestrap. I'm looking for OC3 flashable kernel.
Anyone got it or know how to make it?
I took the OC1 Kernel Flashable zip and extracted the boot img that was in the sd card folder and replaced it with the one from OC 3 AP File, zipped it back up.
Used the NC2 Flasher and flashed it with Safedtrap 3.75. Safestrap DID not say it was OC3, but NL1. Phone INFO says it's OC3 Bootloader.

FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

If I upload custom kernel on my Galaxy S with 2.3.4 JVQ, is it possible to revert to original JVQ kernel in order to check if same issue will appear on original kernel to detect if custom kernel has bug?
Thanks.
Flash as pda with odin.

To get just the stock kernel in a flashable state you need to extract the zImage file from stock ROM (either one file or PDA of 3-file), then put it in a tar file by itself. Then you flash that as PDA with Odin.
I'm just going to expand a bit.
Find a single file tar of the stock firmware that is meant to be flashed as a PDA. Use winrar to look inside the .tar file to get the zImage and put it in a tar by itself. You can then flash it as PDA in Odin.

I thought that it is proper way to extract zImage from original ROM but I wasn't sure that it is good way. Thanks, I will try in this way.
I created zImage.TAR with 7-zip but Odin cannot load it. It comes to step when zImage should be loaded but upload is not happening. Do I have to exec some certain parameters when zipping it in TAR with 7-zip or how can I do it?
EDIT: I managed to make proper (flashable) TAR with IZarc application. Nevertheless, I uploaded stock zImage but I still have root access although other mooded kernel specific applications are gone. So, basically, I didn't revert it to original state. Or I am wrong? Please, advise.
Thanks.
Rooting doesn't necessarily mean changing kernel. You can root a completely stock phone and still use stock kernel. You can also unroot the phone.
You can use the SGS kernel flasher free app to flash a zImage directly from the phone.

He's right, root often stays behind. To get back to stock just do a factory reset.
Make sure you can get into download mode before flashing just in case.

I've read through many threads, but in most they discribe to root a phone via flashing the kernel
like here.
and i also would like to have a backup of my stock kernel, if i would flash it, but i'm not sure from which version i should take it. i do have JVH, but i can't find a fitting csc (it's MOBJV2) on samfirmware or google.
While we wait for MDC Stock tar we have made Odin flashable tars for stock kernel, recovery and ROM.
We'll add the restore here as well when it's ready.

Here are ODIN flashable, signed stock recovery images. Need to install an OTA but have TWRP, CWM, or some other custom recovery installed? You've come to the right place. Flash the recovery image from the version you're trying to update and you're good to go.

Noob question - which slot do we put this in to flash in ODIN? AP? I've never flashed just a recovery before.
(I'm in v3.09 so my options are PIT, BL, AP, CP, CSC, and UMS appears greyed out).
Thanks!
Edit - I'm an idiot. I did flash TWRP a long time ago and used PDA, which appears to have been renamed to AP. I would assume all recoveries will be flashed in PDA/AP so you can ignore my question.
Flash MFD Stock Recovery
I have been trying to install the OTA 4.3 and beyond. The phone keeps nagging me about installing 4.3 but it always fails. I figured out that it probably fails because I am running TWRP recovery. I downloaded the MFD Stock Recovery from SamuriHL's post to fix the stock recovery issue but I just noticed that my Baseband is I337MVLUAMDJ. That appears to be part of a Canadian firmware? My Kernel Version is 3.4.0-440244, [email protected] #160, Tue Jun 11 02:07:59 CDT 2013. I don't know if this kernel and baseband goes with the MFD Build. SamuriHL can you explain if this configuration is correct? The phone seems to work without issues in this configuration except for not being able to do OTA updates.
My question: Should I download and install the full stock firmware and recovery so the phone is completely stock? If so, SamuriHL can you supply a link to the complete firmware so I can make it a full stock phone?
I really appreciate your help. :fingers-crossed:
You should look in the forum. I've already provided the full stock images.

Need stock for Good For Enterprise - Unroot
I have Google Edition S4 in the US and need to unroot it as my work Good For Enterprise won't unlock with it rooted. I am assuming if I push one of these images, it will unroot, right? Two questions. I am unsure which one I should choose and how do I get back to 4.4.4 so I can get OTA updates in the future?
Sorry Partial Noob.

Um, nope. This won't help you in the least. You should install SuperSU from the play store and then use it's full unroot option.
NL3 recovery from 5.0.0 Lollipop uploaded.
Recovery for latest versions updated.
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
want to downgrade but cant find a zip of the kitkat bootloader or nk4 kernal
You can't flash the bootloader through recovery, at least not the last time I checked. The bootloader has to be flased through odin but Odin doesn't flash bootloaders, modems, etc.. We're you possibly referring to the boot.img? If so, that's a kernel.

You can grab a kernal from nearly any KitKat firmware. Download a stock rom to get a stock kernal or a custom rom for a custom kernal. Extract the rom using winrar,winzip, 7zip, or your favorite unzipping utility and you should find a "boot.img" in the root of the extracted folder. Flash the boot.img in Odin in the third slot down (i think it is labelled "PDA"). You can't use the second slot (kernal) because that slot will only allow "md5" files and the boot.img has no md5 in it. I hope this helps because I couldn't find anything KitKat related on my PC, sorry. Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions or problems, okay?
EDIT: I didn't realize when I posted this but Trex888 uploaded it for you in the post before this one (third link) has your boot.img in the download. Grab that one
