[ZIP] Solution for those wanting to flash kernels using CWM - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have been seeing that many people seem to prefer to flash their kernels using CWM instead of ODIN. I prefer using CWM over ODIN whenever possible so here is a solution for you.
This is just a simple .zip that you can use to flash your kernel via CWM.
Myself or the maker of the kernel you're choosing to flash are NOT responsible for anything that may happen to your phone a s a result of user error or anything else.
Instructions:
1) Extract the zImage from the ODIN tar (I use 7zip)
2) Download and open this .zip using 7zip
3) Simply drag and drop the zImage extracted from the .tar or in the root of this .zip.
4) Boot into CWM and flash.
5) Be sure to thank the person that created the kernel you are using.
Note: This will delete the cache so the first boot up will take a minute or so.
PLEASE make sure there isn't a reason the kernel creator wants the kernel flashed via ODIN before doing this. I don't know if there really is one but just in case.
Update: Zip updated per Calkulin's advice
Enjoy....

No offense but I believe people are interested in using zips without using a computer period.
I know I would. I have no problem using odin but would love to simply use recovery.

Speak for yourself and not others. Also, a little research and effort on your part would show you that you should be able to accomplish the same thing on your phone to get the zImage into the zip for flashing in CWM.
Thanks Rob.

On that note some of us like to experiment with different kernels on the go so having a library of .zip kernels saved to my sd card is brutally useful instead of having to wait to get home to switch the kernels

Hey ptfdmedic, you need to use flash_image to flash the kernel properly on the S2. Copy my zip if you want

Guys,
I'm not sure if I really understood it... I found a boot.img from a rom that is not from the rom I'm currently using...
Just double checking, to flash it, all I have to do is put the "boot.img" file inside the "Generic Kernel ZIP for CWM.zip" and flash it through CWM?
Is this only for Epic 4G or it will work on SGW as well?
I'm sorry if this is something obvious, it's just that it sounded too simple, easy and good to be true...

Every kernel ive seen has a .zip and a .tar.. but i guess if you want to do it this way its fine lol.. if on ics its more steps and youd still need to odin to el26 cwm to be safe anyways.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I don't get it... if you are going through the trouble of pulling zImages why wouldn't you just Mobile Odin or HC-kTool it?
Just sayin.. live and let, I suppose.
And if I'm not mistaking, boot.img is for AOSP kernels and zImage is for stock-based. Correct if necessary.

[odin][froyo][2.2]

Well,
i'm just posting this for my friend(abby_nitewolf) since she can't post it from her account because of some limitations of something. i dont know...
Continuum-Community,
I'm not sure if this was posted or if you already had this, but i made an odin file for our 2.2 Froyo update.
http://www.mediafire.com/?9nxa2ui9c327y7m
Yes it has been tested and i have flashed it on 4 Samsung-Continuum and it worked perfectly.
Any questions of concerns just post here or you can pm me.
Thank you Trailblazer and Imnuts for helping with this and thanks again Imnuts for giving us FROYO.
Notes:
People had been asking me questions about this file,like what is it? who are you? whats 7z? odin?
Well this is the reason for adding this extra section.
What's .7z? I thought it was suppose to be a .tar image.....?
Well young one, .7z its a 7zip extension that i used to compress the original file so it can be easily uploaded and downloaded. Just download 7zip and use it to extract the original file.
What's Odin?
Well, ok, not trying to be mean, but if you dont know how to use odin, then you really shouldnt be messing with this file, do some research and then come back to this thread, because you will be using Odin to flash this file onto your phone. Hint:Use the power of google!
Since i'm flashing this onto my phone do i put the file under PHONE?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It goes under PDA!!!
I'm confused, who uploaded this, torque240 or abby_nitewolf?
Hmm...does it really matter? well if its really bugging you then abby_nitewolf is the one who provided us with this odin image, and of course IMNUTS gave us the gift of 2.2 FROYO.

Other than that its been working, now tested on 7 phones, no problems so far.

1. Flash this odin image

And after you reflash this odin image, when you reboot it actually formats everything, data. dbdata. cache...etc...
Sweet, I'll get this done this evening.
Dear Abby---
(sorry, I had to.. )
I flashed the rom, IT'S PERFECT.
Many thanks.
I had a bug with the other rom, every time I opened a website, the screen would blink off, and it was driving me bonkers.
This seems to have fixed it.
Everything is working great.
Again, thanks a bunch.

Not sure why but the .tar file is followed by a .md5 extention, so I just removed it and it became a .tar, just for others to know, thanks
the md5 extension is so you know it hasnt been messed with, and so you know the download is not corrupt...
odin flashes md5s and checks the downloads...
What would be the benefit of flashing this versus your other similar kernel? Sorry if this is a stupid question....
Thank you so much. This is perfect. Do have a question. Does this have a new version of cwm or the same one from yesterday? I ask cause the back soft button wasn't working and the storage mounts were reversed. Just checking to see if that has been fixed.

It is the same just without root and busybox. He made it for those of us that prefer having root controlled at the system level versus the kernel. You don't lose anything either way. If you use this you have to make sure you are running an already rooted rom. There is less conflict by doing this since most, if not all, roms are already rooted.

Once again thanks for you help. One last stupid question before I retire from stupidity, but how do I know which way I am rooted? I thought the only way to root was FROM the kernel. I ask because I'm specifically on midnight rom v2 and have no clue which way I'm rooted.
Is there any way someone could upload a mirror to a different site? I'm wanting to flash this but I'm at work and my company is blocking the site that the link is for. If you can that would be awesome if not, no big deal. I'll try and get it when I get home.
Edit: Nevermind. Managed to get it from my phone.
I can up it to megaupload if that helps Tiffany.

Just curious, if someone has flashed chris' previous kernel, what benefit is there supposed to be? Is it not the same stock kernel with some tweaks? Especially if you're concerned with losing root. Not singling anyone out, just curious as to the rationale.

Because kernels that have forced copying of root & busybox cause issues when you start using complete custom ROMs because they overwrite files that are already included. Plus if your including a custom recovery, what the point of including root, etc when the user can now flash what they want?
Also, Chris, the recovery you have included in this won't mount the internal storage or even make a backup to it or recover, it only wants to use the external sd card and since I don't use one because of the delay it causes coming from sleep, I can't do anything except test flash stuff
I flashed this around noon and once my phone rebooted, I updated my 'profile' under 'about phone'. Everything seemed fine, an hour later...I had a LOS, rebooted and got it back, an hour later, same thing...LOS. Rebooted and I updated the profile again, it's fine for now.
Do we have to update profile every time we do a reboot??
Didn't have any issues when in stock.

How do I keep the kernel I have when flashing a new rom?

So I would like to flash the "syndicated ice" rom but have had great luck (no LoS) with the stock kernel repacked with CWM. Therefore I would like to keep the kernel but have the rest of the ACS rom. Is that at all possible? Closest info I found said to just delete the zimage from the rom zip and flash as normal to keep the kernel im on. I did some searching (google and XDA) but if I missed it feel free to guide me there with as little flame as possible..haha.
Take the zimage out if the rom using a program such ad 7-zip or winrar.

just odin the kernel you want after you install the rom......
It is also ok to flash the kernel you want through CWR right after you flash the rom before rebooting. Have chris41g stock repacked on your SD card, Flash syndicated rom, flash kernel, reboot. I believe that's what you want.

Delete the zimage (thats in the rom) place the zimage that you want in its place within the rom then flash the rom.
All you need to do is flash the rom you want as is with out taking out the zimage. Then flash the kernel you want, much like with other phones. You'll then have your rom and kernel combo.

Unzip and put file into PDA in ODIN and flash away! If you need ODIN, it is attached below.
*WARNING* DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION OR ANYTHING ELSE. ONLY AUTO-REBOOT AND F. RESET TIMER SHOULD BE CHECKED.
If you need more information about this file and what it is/what to do with it, read the stickies at the top of this forum to learn more about ODIN and what it is used for. This file is provided mostly for people who like me who prefer to odin a stock rom and tweak it themselves. It will also prove INVALUABLE from here on out for when you need to unroot your phone (send into t-mobile/samsung, just want it un-rooted).
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
I also attached the latest superuser and CWM recovery for those who want to root.
Put the recovery.tar in the pda slot and flash for CWM recovery.
Then install the attached superuser inside CWM recovery to have full root!
FYI: It's a known issue that superuser usually does not "stick" on the first try. This is with ANY ROM for our phones. Just keep flashing it (usually 2 to 3 times)until it says installation complete.
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR DOWNLOAD/FLASH COUNTER (+)

Will be factory fresh. Will be like any other stock rom, not rooted. Root it via odin like we have always done for all of our roms. I think it's best to just leave completely intact so we always have an option to get our phones back to 100% factory. The CW flashable zips and rooted custom roms are on their way.

Well I never came across one, but I'll unzip the tar file and see what I can do. But. Flashing anything that doesn't have root cooked in will unroot you.

I've never seen one, but doesn't mean it can't be done. Normally of one wants to flash back to stock it's cause something went wonky or they want to start over, so i don't think it's come up. But obtaining root again is cake, so maybe just do the Odin procedure and move forward due to the time needed to make a disable zip for stock...just my thoughts

I'll check there from time to time. Don't be afraid of Odin though. Its like flashing CWM. Just be careful and you will be all right.
