I am really liking the stock JB kernel but I also have been using and liked Franco's kernel for the past few months, especially the customizability. I want to try it out too but I don't want to lose the stock kernel in the process. Can someone provide any of the following:
1. A guide to extracting/backing up the stock kernel.
2. A link to any such guide. (I looked around but couldn't find one.)
3. A link to the actual kernel. (If someone, somewhere has already done this and posted it.)
Thanks in advance!

Here's the stock kernel for you
Thanks! Out of curiosity, do you mind explaining how you got it? Is it super complicated? I'm just trying to learn by doing as much as I can to avoid having to ask all the time=/
Edit: Oh, also is that zip flashable via CWM?

I got it from one of the Jellybean threads, but with the sheer volume of JB threads today, I can't remember which. I think it's the main JB thread in General.
The only thing I did was rename it from StockKernel.zip and added the JB prefix so as not to lose it in my mess of files
Ah, sounds good. Thanks again!

This is the right attitude to have! :good:
The easiest way to back up your stock kernel is through CWM. It makes a backup of the image and saves it to your /sdcard/clockworkmod/... This file should be easily flashable using fastboot.
Another way, but less elegant, is to use dd (root and busybox required of course):
dd if=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
That will place a file called boot.img in the root of /sdcard. (Not this file will likely not be flashable via fastboot, but can easily be flashed with dd:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot

You are right, you can NOT back up just the kernel using CWM, but you CAN restore just the kernel. (I was thinking of a different recovery.)

Only a little bug for me:
From settings-->storage (memoria in italian) It can't see all the files in the sdcard, also doesn't see a lot of music (but I can see those music files with play music app)...
Any other thing is working fine, good battery life, much faster on homescreen and on the appdrawer, maybe a little laggier on temple run...
Waiting for the official release...
So I guess that if I download factory image for my NS and extract boot.img out of it (it is in tgz-tar-zip ), I should be able to flash it and restore stock kernel using fastboot flash boot boot.img. Am I right?
But I noticed that boot.img in zip provided by harveydent takes 2x more space than the one in the factory image.

If harveydent used dd to dump the image, it will be padded with a bunch of zeros at the end. Both will work fine, although you cannot flash the untrimmed one using fastboot, you need to use recovery or dd.

Hi GN users -
Rooted my phone this evening and all (I thought) was going well. I've been trying to do a backup via rom manager but when the phone reboots i get the android with a red exclamation point. This happens when trying to get to recovery mode using ROM manager or just using the volume buttons. Can't get a clean back up.
Used the following files:
recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-toroplus.img
Superuser-3.0.7.efghi-signed
Should I have used CWM-SuperSU-v0.87?
If i can access the boot loader can I go ahead and flash with CWM?
Thanks
Denver

So the problem is that you flashed custom recovery and when you reboot it reverts to stock recovery? If so it's because you're on the stock ROM and it's got a script that restores stock recovery upon reboot. You can either install a custom ROM or do this:
juliano_q said:
-remount /system in read/write mode (use something like the Root Explorer app or ES File Explorer; both have root modes (check the app's settings) for remounting /system as writable)
-rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
(note: you could delete it, but renaming is much safer since its easily reversible)
yes, it is easier to use a script, but in my opinion it is much better to know what is going on behind it.

And I flashed the zips he posted when I rooted. I trust that Bigrushdog does know what he's doing but that zip seems to have a lot of things in there that he may or may not need. Like, why does it contain a boot.img? He only needs the SU binary to obtain root. His problem must be that he's rebooting. He should fastboot flash recovery, then fastboot reboot recovery and then flash the SU zip from there. And if he wants to stay on the stock ROM he should follow the instructions I posted. I'm not saying you're *wrong* but I am saying that I'm more right
EDIT: Rereading his post I'm pretty sure he does have root already, his problem is just that recovery isn't sticking which is a known issue with a known solution as I posted previously. Its the exact same thing on the Nexus S.
If anything we are equally correct and my method is much simpler. And yes the boot.img is required this is the stock kernel image without the recovery.sh that runs on the stock kernel. This will keep him from having to delete it manually. I know this because the same method was needed for my epic. You have to flash a tweaked stock kernel without the recovery.sh then flash the recovery. Then everything will stick. His issue is he didn't flash the tweaked kernel and upon booting the stock kernel deleted his custom recovery.

Hey my md5 checksum has a mismatch, but I know the files are fine. is there a terminal command to recompile the md5 for a given image?
Also I noticed the new version of CWM has teh option to backup files as TAR, wouldn't that be better since Odin flashes Tar? If you couldn't get into CWM for some reason you can just flash for Odin?
Forgive me if I'm being newb here had my phone for three days after a motorola bravo
Ok so you accidentally tried to Odin or CWM the wrong file to your phone. Well the good news is that if you can get into CWM with access to the sdcard(s) or access ADB we can fix it. If the phone won't power on at all, you can't access cwm with sdcard(s), ADB or Odin you are unfortunately out of luck. You will need to get it repaired by Sprint or send it off for a jtag repair.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
If you don't own the E4GT do not use this guide because if your partitions are not the same as ours you will brick your phone.
If by chance you can get into Odin mode and your computer can see the phone go buy a lottery ticket J/K. All you have to do is download a full tar and Odin it back on. I won't go into details for that as it is well documented. Or you can still use this zip if you prefer.
I have automated the process of the restore. What this zip will do is flash the Agat 0.5.4 source kernel so you have cwm. It will flash the FH13 boot.bin, hidden.img, param.lfs and Sbl.bin. It will wipe Cache and Dalvik also.
This will not flash the modem, wipe data or replace system. So after you use this zip if your modem is also hosed flash a modem zip from CWM. Once you have recovered the phone you can flash whatever you want back on the phone.
Download CWM Odin Restore To FH13: http://d-h.st/3yZ
Copy the zip file to your phone and flash in custom recovery.
If you don't have access to the sdcard(s) but do have access to ADB proceed to the second post.
If you need some direct assistance you can PM me and I will work with you when possible.
You only have ADB access
For this method you will need CWM, ADB, Root and the image files to restore.
If you don't have ADB installed I have attached it to this post. I have also provided a link to the FH13 image files.
If you don't have ADB, extract the ADB directory to the root of C:. So you should see C:\ADB
You need to know where your ADB directory is located. If you used step 1 ADB it is C:\ADB. If you installed it on your own you should know where to find it.
Extract the images.zip into the ADB directory. You should now have the Images folder in the ADB folder.
Boot into CWM and attach your phone to the computer.
Open a command prompt and change directory to the ADB directory cd C:\ADB (or wherever your directory is).
Type adb push Images /tmp and hit enter.
You should see something like 6 files pushed. 0 files skipped.8465 KB/s (19271020 bytes in 2.223s).
Type adb shell and hit enter.
This part is critical. Make sure it is typed exactly or you can/will destroy your phone.
Copy and paste or type the following commands. If you copy and paste make sure you don't copy any leading or trailing spaces. Hit enter after each command.
You can skip any of the following commands if you know you don't need them. For example, if you know you only installed the Sbl.bin then you only need to enter that command. I have provided them all to cover all of the needs. If you are not sure just do them all.
dd if=/tmp/boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p0
dd if=/tmp/hidden.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=/tmp/param.lfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/tmp/Sbl.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/tmp/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
dd if=/tmp/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
You should see something like 2560+0 records in, 2560+0 records out, 1310720 bytes (1.3MB) copied, 0.265521 seconds, 4.7MB/s after each command.
Reboot your phone and it should boot up.
If it still doesn't boot something didn't take and we will need to work one on one.
Download the Images.zip: http://d-h.st/8gY
The bootloader restore has been proven to work on one phone so far. Thanks to pjkingphd for testing and confirming that it works.

If the md5 is not right it will say so when you try to restore in cwm. It won't restore if they don't match. But I can throw up md5 for the sbl.

MD5 added. Sticky this please.
I have now automated the restore process in a zip file. You must be able to copy the zip file to the phone for it to work. I have flashed it about a dozen times but I would like to get a few brave testers to try it on your phone for me. Make sure you do a backup first! I have moved the manual commands to post two and revamped the instructions.
+1
Sticky or move to original development.

Sooo... uhm ,,, say I know a certain someone who botched their custom boot logo and has been lazy..... and has the draw failure start up...
This would restore that to stock without any other ramifications except for a kernel swap, correct??
Edit: Guess after a day Ill just assume yes and hope it cant brake anything....

Yeah this will fix you up. Once you get recovered you can flash whatever you want back on. Since you are an advanced user if you have a particular setup that you want to restore, just pull those files from the tar and place them in the Images folder of the zip.
You never can be too sure.. Lol I just always expect the one time I make an assumption will be regretted.
Good idea btw... And thanks.
And Ive actually been meaning to flash a param.lfs..... I have like 4 OCs it just they are all the way on my backup backup card ...(see my level of sloth ?!?!?!)

Hi guys,
I have CWM 5.5 on my S3 i747, and I just wonder where can I find the latest version of CWM for i747, and also how do I upgrade it using ODIN ?
As I understand, it should be a file named "recovery.img", and to flash it on my S3, I have to tar it and flash the tar file using ODIN. Is that right?
Thanks!
Download rom manager and get from there, I personally couldn't stand the latest cwm recovery its slow as hell took way too long to make a backup

Download your version of cwm there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store. Run the terminal
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Type everything right. If you get the last number wrong, you get a brick.
I did this on my phone to install cwm touch without any issues

This is too much a big risk for the benefits it gives me if done right. Forget me on this one guys. Ill keep my CWM 5.5 :good:

You can flash the same IMG file via Odin but you will have to Google for more info I don't really use it

U can always use rom manager to get latest cwm as everyone mentioned but that will be regular cwm.
If u want touch cwm than u got three options
1) use terminal emulator as mentioned in the earlier post
2) buy it from play store
3) flash through Odin.

If you want to pay to get touch recovery, but indeed easiest and safest way for the general users.

I succeeded in flashing CWM 6.0.1.2 using ROM Manager, its soooo easy :good:
But does my backups made with CWM 5.5 will be restorable with 6.0.1.2 ??
I think they will.

They better will !!! ... or I'll be really mad, because my stock firmware backup has been made with CWM 5.5

They most likely will and even if they don't you could always flash a previous version of cwm( the one you made the backup with). No need for angry faces lol. You should search and get the lowdown of the consequences of everything you flash before you flash.

This is was really helpful. I can now proceed with confidence. thanks again from another Canadian
There's a new version of CWM for our phones, it's 6.0.2.3. I just flashed it and it seems that they removed the option to 'wipe battery stats' in cwm.
