Can a kernel that takes away cwm be flashed through cwm? will it brick my phone if I do it or will it remain on ram alone until reboot?

It should work fine. Kernel and initramfs are running from RAM after being loaded. The image on flash/non-volatile memory isn't being used directly.

Hey guys. Anyone know howto delete a kernel from your phone? I just tried with astro and then rebooted but software info still says I'm running kings #5. Any suggestions? Thanks

Back up your existing setup,
d/l another kernel to your SD card - compatible w/ ROM you are using
boot into recovery, wipe Dalvik
flash new kernel from SD card - read notes for error(s) in CWM after kernel flash/install before reboot
reboot
check which kernel is running
Note that not all kernels work with all ROMs - certain AOSP ROMs require AOSP kernels, same story w/ Sense ROMs.
What if I just wanted to return to the stock kernel?

Right now I'm running an ICS ROM from Mijjhs with includes acs recovery... I was considering buying the premium app if it would ease the flashing process. But I don't know much about this app.... Does anyone have any advice?

All it does is take you to the recovery screen I bought it just to donate used it a lot when going to ICS from gb or vice versa
Personally I would rather use Mobile Odin to flash back to EL26 CWM Recovery and then flash the ROM through there. Since we don't have an official ICS kernel yet this is the safest way of doing it as of right now.
ROM Manager isn't really made for our phones and can easily cause a brick...use el26 kernel w CWM to flash anything for now.

Hi i was on ICS with agat safe recovery and don't like the battery life so i went back to blazer 4.1 GB rom.But now after installing blazer rom i got Rouge recovery. So can i replace Rouge recovery with agat safe recovery on GB EL29? Please advise me .i heard that with agat safe recovery i can flash back and forth from GB-ICS and ICS-GB.
No you can't. Your kernel needs to match your os. Gingerbread kernel on gingerbread and ics kernel on ics.

No problem and you can still accomplish what you want. Just make sure any ics Rom you flash includes his kernel or flash it right after the Rom and do the same for GB, making sure it has GB kernel or flashing one right after.

Additionally there is no need for a "safe" gb kernel as they are all safe, they do not contain the code that triggers the emmc bug

Based on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
It seems that the main issue was some emmc issue causing bricks when flashing with ICS because we didn't have an official release or the source.
I've seen a few rom developers state that they think this problem has been solved in some later kernels. Now that we have an official ICS release, Is this a safe process now? Are there certain roms or kernels I should be using to get ICS recovery to work safely?
Basically I want to no longer have to flash el29 just to try things like Google Now ports and stuff. I want a fully mobile option to flash multiple roms at my leisure like other phones
Agats kernel/recovery is safe. Sleshepic's kernel/recovery is also safe. I flash ICS to ICS alot thru their recoveries no problem.

I am glad someone else asked this because I was just about to do the same. I am on Agat and was about to go from stock rom to AOKP Milestone 6 but wasn't sure if I could flash back to TW based roms without having to go to EL29.
How do I flash their recoveries? I already rooted and have superuser. I just don't have a recovery and I'm confused on the articles I've read. Thanks in advance.

Every kernel is safe as long as you don't factory reset. use calks flash all zip instead of the wipe in recovery. Rujelus22 has a 2x wipe zip that does it twice. They wipe cache, dalvik, and system data in one shot.
What kernel should i be downloading? I have stock ICS rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Flash Agats kernel. The .tar file in odin or mobile odin.
