you dont flash the boot.img via odin
you flash tar files via odin (which contain the boot.img) but it has to be an odin flashable tar file
if you only have the boot.img file you can flash it via cwm with the boot image installer zip file
All instructions on how to flash each kernel will be on the op of each kernel thread

Can some one please help me, I have xwjvb stock rom installed but I want to change the cwm recovery so I can flash another custom rom. Since its cwm 3e I cant do this, is there a way to change it without using odin ie .tar files and download mode? Update.zip fails when I try to appl it in cwm.... my phone has been rooted. Thanks

If youre phone is rooted you can do it without odin but not without a tar or zip file for a kernel
1.Download SGS kernel flasher from market
2. Download a Kernel which supports Custom Recovery (for Example the CF-Root kernel in the version Nee-JVB-CWM3RFS 3.1)
3. Give Sgs kernel flasher su permissions
4. "Backup Kernel" (if you want)
5. "Choose Kernel" -> Choose the kernel you've downloaded -> "flash"
6. wait for reboot
7. Power your phone off and go with the 3button combo in recovery
8. Flash the custom rom you want

hey thanks for the reply! i just figured it out myself using the method u just described what a coincidence lol i just went to the market - downloaded sgs kernel flasher app - then downloaded the cf-root xwjvb kernel zip file, extracted the zImage file out of it and used the app to flash it....cool no more 3e recovery, now i can flash some custom roms yay!! i couldnt find my flippin usb cable thats why i couldnt use odin to flash ha ha

Okay. For any tar file, try extracting it using 7 zipper or root browser..... Then u obtain boot.img file from it....
Search for Boot.img flasher in xda.. Then u place both in sd. Flash the tool( boot.img flasher) in cwm and voila..... Be careful and have a backup ready

i had compiled g900h kernel from SM-G900H_SWA_LL lollipop sources
need tester for the same as i don't own exynos version cant do it on my own
NOTE: testing should be done on user risk and do a backup first
kernel attached can be flashed in download mode or someone could provide me stock boot.img for flashable
Update:Attachment removed unable to flash

Hey,
I want to test it out, just to make sure I don't brick my device: when backing up boot partition via cwm / twrp does that also include the kernel inside?

cwm backup does include kernel too inside boot.img
but if you still want flashable boot.img
take backup using recovery and send me boot.img
i'll provide you flashable boot.img
make sure you are running lollipop
Can't seem to flash it.
Tried both on Odin 3.07 and 3.09.
It gets to the part "Nand write starting" and just doesn't do anything.
The device boots up normally after removing battery with old kernel.

As I said, it won't flash through Download mode (Odin is stuck on Start Nand wite).
Here is the boot.img from XtreStoLite ROM (its the original g900h kernel).

HI everybody
I updated my n910H to 5.1.1 , worked well and decided to flash a custom kernel . also faced to problem with wifi and now i decided to flash my original kernel.
i extracted the boot.img from update package N910HXXU1COH4_N910HOLB1COH4_N910HXXU1COH3_HOME.tar
now, im not sure how to flash it !! via odin or anything else needed
thank u for your help
any help ?????
when I had my S3 if I needed the stock kernel I would simply reflash the stock rom since they usually have the stock kernels built-in

Never tried with samsung phones (and probably it is not possible) but with my other android devices I just extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it with fastboot using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
With a samsung device you should probably (or definitely) create a flashable .zip file with the boot.img of your stock ROM and flash it via recovery.
You need to download your original kernel from net, there are 2 types of file you’ll find, one is .zip and another one is .tar. If you download .zip file you have to flash it with recovery (CWM/TWRP) or if you download .tar file (don't try to make your own .tar file) then you can flash it with Odin tool.
Hi Guys,
I have compiled a kernel for note 4 from opensource samsung.
I have got zimage in two locations , one in output which is less than 10mb and one in main kernel boot folder which is 20 mb.
When i try to flash using odin i , get the error , unsupported dev type.
I have firmware N910GDTS1DRH2 N910GODD1DRD1 downloaded from sammobile.
Also after compiling i have got some modules which i didnot touch.
I downloaded source from http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=n910g
I have tried 3 mm versions, but all give same error.
Any help will be appreciated.
I also tried making boot.img with perl script but phone doesnot boot up using that.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit
I use AIK to unpack the stock boot image. Take the zImage from output/arch/arm/boot/ and replace the original one in the new split_img folder that AIK creates. Be sure to rename it what AIK names it (boot.img-zImage if I remember right). Then repack it flash the new image via TWRP. The new-image should be close to 15.8 mb.
Edit- forgot to hit reply button @xdauserherewithnote4
Is TWRP neccessary

Thanks for your reply, i was wondering if i can flash using odin or i have to use twrp? zimages are convertible to tar files that odin can flash but the problem i am facing is odin mode showing unsupported dev type.

Yeah, you could make it in to .tar if you'd like but it needs to be in a boot.img form. The only way I know how to directly flash a zImage is with anykernel or a tool similar to that.
Kernel flash was success but phone is not stable now !

Ok i was able to flash boot.img by converting into tar (having new zimage) , but system is rebooting again and again after sometime.
I was able to flash after making boot.img using AIK. Thanks for advice.
