I was wondering how to flash the kernels on that forum. I did everything else and got it to work, but i don't know how to flash the kernel, because its not a zip file. please help! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869990
I assume youre talking about the modern tar file? It has to be flashed through odin for the fascinate. Read the instructions for flashing through odin that should be somewhere on these forums. make sure you follow the steps very carefully

Rename it to a zip file (put .zip at the end). Flash via CWM as normal.You can also access these kernels via Rom Manager.
Btw: this belongs in the general section.

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?

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？

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.

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.

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.

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.
Hi guys, i decided to flash JellyBlast rom, but i'm using merruk pre finaç 2.0 kernel, and JellyBlast needs to be stock to flash. Well, i did not found how to flash back to stock kernel.

I followed this tutorial but i still don't know how to flash the kernel via CWM
Another question: Could i remove the .md5 extension, so it will be .tar, and then extract the boot.img with winrar and flash it?
i replied to your PM
Flash the stock kernel Via odin , put the File in the PDA , then start flashing
G.L
Is it possible to flash via CWM? Odin usually doesn't work for me...
i had never seen a stock kernel .zip !

I have an overseas rom for i9505 that I really want to use on my I337 (AT&T). However it does not come with any custom rom beside those 1.7GB .md5 stock roms. I have tried using CASUAL Root and Recovery to install TWRP, but I got stuck at how I should install the rom that I have. From my experience I should have a flashable zip on my hand. I then look at Kitchen and Loki but I am totally confused about it. Can anyone point me to the right direction about how what to do with the i9505 rom that I wish to install? Thanks.

Follow the instructions in this link. If it seems to foreign to you, stop and don;t attempt to flash anything until you have a clear understanding. Several people in this forum have put together threads intended to help.

I know that thread. It seems like the prerequisite is to have a custom rom. In my case I don't have a custom rom that's why I got stuck here...

There is no prerequisite to have a custom rom already installed. You need to be rooted with a custom recovery. You flash the rom in recovery. Twrp and cwm are recoveries.

No I am not talking about a "custom rom already installed". What I mean is, the rom needs to be CWM flashable, which is a ZIP file containing Meta-INF, which is also a "custom rom". However, the only file I have access is MD5 file which is an ODIN file. I think I can't flash the ODIN file in TWRP, right?
no locked bootloader will check security of the md5, however ...in your case you can get a linux and un tar the md5... make a flashable..patch with loki..and flash
