The various Kernels and ROM's in the Dev seem to be getting good reviews and I'm very intrigued by the BLN support in Jug's and Synergy... I'd like to flash one of the Kernels and try it out but what's holding me back is that I don't see a clockwork recovery version of the stock, rooted Kernel.
Is there one out there or is the best course of action to do a full CWM backup prior to installing a new Kernel and revert to it if I desire the stock kernel back?
Thanks!

A nandroid backup doesn't backup the kernel, just an exactly image of your system. The best way to go back to stock kernel is Odin Bubby stock kernel.

So let me try and get this right...I'm on fd26 stock rooted in order to flash a new ROM all I have to do is flash a GB kernel and not go back to GB fully, and if I wanna flash just a theme then I just use el29 kernel also is this correct? If not what are the steps I take to flash a new ics ROM from stock rooted fd26??? Thank You in advance!!!

You have to flash the el26 CWM kernel (if you're on an ICS rom it won't boot because it's a GB kernel) then boot into recovery and you can flash stuff that way. If you do a theme, be sure to flash an ICS kernel after flashing the theme so it will boot normal again. Roms have kernels in them already so you don't have to worry about them.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25017238

Honestly what you have to do is read the OP fully and do whatever is asked of you in there to make sure your phone is upgraded properly. Making new threads asking questions that may give you multiple answers may only confuse you further. I assume if you have to still ask this question with the amount of how to not brick and safe way to flash threads then you are still a little confused.
Best way to not have a paperweight is to follow whatever the OP's thread info to the letter. what rom you trying to flash
Jus' Sayin'
Yeah all I have done is went from stock to stock rooted and I have stayed stock rooted that's easy for me using the PC version of odin. I just wanted to start flashing new roms I have read all the posts and realize how not to brick I was simply wanting to know what would be the easiest way to go from stock rooted fd26 to like blazer ROM our mijjaz the goodness as I have not flashed using cwm recovery before...

I recently flashed MIUI (the newest release with 4g support) and I decided to try flashing a new kernel so I flashed rogue FB27 and everything works just fine but now 4G settings crash upon opening. Is there a different kernel I should be using? (from what I understand flashing a kernel that has CWM is the only way to get recovery working on MIUI, because using this 'e4gtauto-sfx.exe' program doesn't do the trick.
from what i've been hearing your options are really limited with they rom and to just stay with the kernel that gets flashed when you put on the rom.
beware i bricked my device a few weeks ago before this page showed up
http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/samsung-epic-4g-touch/
I could technically flash back to stock el26 gb rooted, then reflash miui again and then be back at the same kernel right? Is there a way I can restore an nandroid backup without restoring the kernel?
Do you have mobile odin? If you do just flash the el26 tar and boot into recovery and just flash MIUI rom without data wipe. That should get you back on the correct kernel.
or flash el 26 go into recovery and flash this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8566596/FE16_MIUI.zip
and reboot.

just odin a el26 cwm tar and flash it again, use the kernel that comes with it and 4g should work. if u cant use odin get mobile odin (search chainfire/mobileodin) and you can flash from your phone.
Is that FE16 link just the kernel? It's a pain in the ass having to set up my UI all over again and if there is a way I can just get the kernel that comes with the new MIUI release, that would be ideal.
What these guys said. Or odin el26 kernel, go to my kernel page and u have a wide variety of ics kernels u can use on miui/aokp/gummy

Just kidding, I did the research for myself in the MIUI topic and flashed your kernel. 4G is working again!
I am currently on T-mobile ICS stock rom and planning to install AOKP... Can I go back to stock ROM if I don't like AOKP? how do I get back to stock ROM ?
Apologies but this is first time I will be flashing ROM on my T989.
Thanks.

Yes before you flash make a nandroid backup in ClockworkMod recovery. If you don't like aokp (highly doubt you'll have this issue) just boot back to recovery and restore nandroid.
EDIT make sure and grab darkside superwipe and cachewipe first. Use these instead of cwm's wipe functions. Superwipe before rom flash cachewipe after any flash. It will save you from a lot of bugs.

If you're asking this i suggest you read ALL the stickies before you do anything. I've been seeing a higher than normal of threads complaining of phones getting bricked which means people arent following directions.
You're asking a very basic question that can be answered by reading the stickies.

You didn't run a Nandroid backup before going to a custom kernel? You might/should be able to restore just the kernel from it if you did, depending on which Recovery you've got.
You should be able to extract it from one of the factory ODIN images in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969551
Also, the Perseus kernel thread used to attach images of the stock kernel, but i don't see them there now. Not sure why he's pulled the links.
We really need one of those threads that links to all the stock stuff like kernel, images, modems, etc.
Edit: Ahhh...found the "stock kernel" I'd downloaded from Perseus when I first tried his kernel last month. Here it is, flash at own risk in Recovery.
Yeah I backed up. My girl somehow format it though. Thanks I went ahead and download a stock rom. Backed up then restored boot. Img. I like using all my cores. The custom kernels do not. Better performance for me on stock. Thanks.

Ah, that's an interesting tidbit about the cores.

Have to use Odin to flash either TWRP or CWM. Make sure auto-reboot is unchecked. After successful flash, pull the battery. Replace battery and 3-finger boot (Camera+VolDwn+Pwr) into recovery and flash whatever rom you want. If you're just trying to root and keep everything the same, then you'll need to flash both SuperSU and a BML FC09 kernel to retain root. Otherwise the stock kernel will rewrite stock recovery upon reboot.
If you want to just be rooted, then flash the stock deodexed or odexed-rooted version of FC09.
This information is readily available if searched in these forums. The guides are a bit outdated.

I don't know why everyone says this. I rooted my stock BML FC09 by Odin-ing CWM 5.0.2.7 and then directly flashing SuperUser 3.2 RC3's flashable zip. After reboot everything including root is fine while I always have access to the CWM recovery. True story Try it.

We say flash the fixed stock kernel or a 3rd party kernel because the stock FC09 kernel has a line of code that checks the recovery partition for stock recovery. If there is a mismatch, then the stock recovery is flashed silently during the boot sequence.
Andy, are you sure you weren't on the fixed stock kernel when you experienced that? Or that you weren't on the recompiled FC09 on here?

Huh? I just Odin flash the stock FC19 tar... (sorry, I got it wrong with the version, I initially got a leaked "official" FC19 from the dev section. Does the version difference matter?)

Look on youtube for a guy named QBking77. He has the best videos for rooting/rom-ing. He shows video and gives commentary as he goes. I use his videos/tutorials all the time. I highly recomend his stuff. He has plenty of vids for the Epic4g.
Hope this helps.

I believe so. I think with that version the line of code mentioned above is removed from the kernel. It's been so long since I read discussions on that unofficial release, but that is my recollection.
