Let's say I were to flash Eugene's new 2.2 rom, how would I reflash the stock kernal in order to downgrade?

Your post confuses me. What are you downgrading/to? There are two ways (that I know of) to flash a kernel. One is to flash it through recovery. Two is the flash it through odin; which I am not familiar with and do not prefer.

Where exactly is this so called "list" you speak of?
Proudly pumped from my vibrating vibrant using the ubiquitous XDA App
Odin is one way (my preferred). Only have problems if I disconnect the phone (oops) or package something wrong.
Turn phone off.
Start Odin.
Load tarred zImage in a tar file (IMPORTANT: tarred with --format=ustar) into CSC section in Odin.
Plug in usb cable to computer and phone.
Get into download mode.
Wait for "COM" port to light up on Odin.
Click start.
CSC section？ you sure？
What's a kernal?
KernEl, kernEl, kernEl!

hello,i just got the samsung epic today .coming from an htc hero,its a big difference. i love the hero though. anyway,why is it such a hassle to flash a ROM with this rom? u gotta do the odin n all this stuff. with the hero u just wipe n flash.dont get me wrong,im not coming at you guys angry or anything lol.but just wondering why u gotta do this odin thing instead of just wiping n flashing
Just the new leaks because clockwork doesn't flash modems.
If you look you can find a post with a flashable modem upgrade to dk28 but it breaks gps.

you don't have to odin, you can use CWM Recovery to flash a .zip.

Reboot into recovery,and flash the rom again. If you can. That will install the correct kernel for the phone. Hope this helps.

What he means is, flash a 2.2 rom at all. You flashed a 2.2 kernel on a 2.1 rom. This may have to be done through odin, however.
If it's stuck on the Vibrant screen (boot loop), it will not be able to boot into recovery, most likely.
Easiest fix would be to get the thing into download mode and flash the correct kernel through ODIN.

Haha. Correct. I forgot that stock is 2.1. I would Odin back to stock and start fresh.

Above is correct, get in download mode and reflash 959JFD. That is the safest and best way to fix, click the repartition and you will get a fresh stock install. You will lose your contacts and pics, etc if you do not already have backup........... but that is the way it is.... look in the bible it has all the info you need

He asked for a stock ROM, why suggest that?
You can find KA6 stock here:

Apply using ODIN.
OP, not to sound rude... just look in the dev section for the ODIN and CWR flashable versions.

Just to back the OP a litte...
I'm not even sure what the stock 2.2 is. All this talk of KA6 and KA7 and on top of that all the leaked or not... and people tossing out flash this rom or flash that rom.. it gets confusing when your not used to this. If you go in to the developers section and look, nothing is labeled "stock 2.2 cwm flash able" and when you search for it, you get a bunch of old links to non official 2.2.
I never looked for it till OP asked. I'm happy with the rom im running right now, but I feel your confusion OP.
Edit:
There is also usually at least one clear cut thread on how to get the update and how to root the update. Maybe ill put this together.
yeah some people might need the stock rom to make warranty claims.
I would sure love to know why it is being said that KA7 is "official froyo OTA." I don't believe I have heard Samsung or T-mobile even mention KA7 so how would anyone know?
Again, this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687
contains the file to ODIN that will get you to exactly where you would get if you upgraded via mini kies.
In other words, ODIN that file and you will be on "current stock version"

So right now there is no flashable version of the official stock 2.2?
OK so i was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451
and this might be a newb question: but how do i run this .zip with odin. He included some md5 code, but what do i do?
Also jsut checking, but this is the dl09 modem right and after flashing this, will i be able to install rom such as DL09 super clean 0.4 on it and after i install that rom, how do i know which themes work on that rom?
Thanks so much, trying to come out of newbhood, into haxorhood
PS Couldnt replly to thread so posting it here
If you don't know how to use it, you need to read more stuff about flashing roms etc, as there are instructions in several threads on how to flash files with Odin. If you can't figure out how to update, it is more likely that you'll end up bricking your phone than flashing it properly. In the end, if you can figure out how to flash it yourself, you'll learn invaluable information that could save you from future headaches or get you out of a jam.
Only odin .tar files there should only be one for dl09. the kernal and radio get flashed thru cwm hope this helps.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
By the way there really isnt any themes for dl09. You can use dj05 themes if you flash theme fix for dl09 directly after flashing the dj05 theme.

THnks for all your help, but like i said im a noob i just had to run zip file from CWM recovery my bro showed, he is a beast at all this, hopefully no more question, i guess you can close this thread
If there are instructions on how to do this please post a link or maybe someone can help? Thank you.
Note: I am currently using Imikla's ICS rom, not sure what version...I flashed this in March so its based on an early ICS leak.
My kernel is: 3.0.15-I9220ZCLP1-CL131270 [email protected] #3
plenty of these types of posts
flash a gb kernel such as abyss 4.2 and you can then flash a gb rom fgrom cwm or you can use odin to flash stock

I presume it is not safe to flash via CWM? Can I flash using odin PC?

Because there aren't any clear instruction of how to flash and what settings to use to flash a kernel and the little details.
Entropy512 said:
The safest way to get away from ICS is:
Use PC Odin or Heimdall to flash a safe Gingerbread kernel with working CWM (NOT a full firmware package, and DO NOT mess with repartitioning), such as a Gingerbread CF-Root release. From there you can wipe and then flash whatever you want.
To be clear - JUST flash a safe kernel and then wipe/flash using that - don't flash anything else in PC Odin. If the full firmware package you flash has bootloaders it could hose you.

entropys instructions
I've flashed the Abyss kernel as stated and now I have a problem, it stays at the loading screen, excellent instructions guys!
Flash any stock GB ROM via PC ODIN. Do not tick repartition.
Try flashing a single file ROM, not 3 files ROM.
In case if fails, then try flashing a stock 3 files ROM (PDA, MODEM & CSC) alongwith .PIT file and re-partition checked.
