I have stock boot.img kernel .I want to flash it via CWM .How to do it?

Grab a custom kernel zip, remove initscripts if present, replace boot.img with the one you want, flash.

They aren't just zips, there has to be meta file, updater scripts yada yada yada. It's easier to just hijack another kernel file and swap out the right files.

Are you using a ROM ? If so, go to the ROM's page and use the boot.img meant for that ROM.
I'm using stock

You have to find and install stock kernel modules zip file in recovery after flashing the boot image. You can use venom flasher of viper forum to revert to stock

Under android dev thread you will find all official RUUs released. Find the one matching your 415.11 code.download it.
Once downloaded, run it. When the first screen comes up, open an explorer, change dir to %tmp%, you will see two newly created directories. In one of them, find the file ROM.zip and copy it somewhere else. Now exit ruu setup. Open ROM.zip file and in it there are the IMG files you seek. However installing only boot.IMG won't work. They need their modules files to work properly. That's what I meant by flashing the modules zip in recovery.

Stock kernel is the boot.img and cannot be apply from recovery. It must be flash in fastboot mode - fastboot flash boot boot.img or use any kernel flasher. And you need to flash the stock modules too.

Use toolkit

Can i use toolkit to flash BOOT.IMG files required for running custom roms???
By placing them in "KERNEL" folder and renaming it...
Yes... as long as the boot.img is renamed as boot.img

Boot.img from Official ICS

Hi,
I'm working on a ROM with ItsMeBdon and Shawn and we're upgrading our current zip to ICS. I believe we need to replace the kernel, I'm not sure how to update the modem to the current. Could we get the boot.img and some pointers?
Here you go, buddy! Just extracted it!
You could've done this yourself, there are plenty of archive tools out there that can open the Official ICS Package: I927UCLH2_I927UCALH2_I927UCALH2_HOME.tar.md5
Okay, one more thing. I've been busy lately so haven't been able to make a flashable zip. Can I get the system dump from anyone who can do it? Thanks

You do not extract anything from that zip, just flash it whole from the recovery as you would any boot.img

That IS a kernel, not a ROM. Just flash it via fastboot then... You can also do it via ADB if you know how to, if not, use the search bar

According what I've read in other posts you can't flash a raw kernel.zip with s-on.
It has also been pointed out that a boot.IMG is Rom specific, so they most likely wouldn't be interchangeable between different roms

boot.img is a kernel so don't search for a boot.img in a kernel.zip - it's the same thing only not compressed. ranger4740 is correct. You shouldn't use boot.img from one ROM and put it on another, but that's not what you asked for... As for the fact that you can't flash a kernel.zip with S-ON, I didn't know about that so I can't help you there... Sorry :/ Try asking your question in the kernel thread...

Ok, i also tried to do some research and read some forums, seems my only way to s-off my dhd, which i will be researching next... Thanks:fingers-crossed:
My desired rom has already updated with the kernel that i wanted flash ,so my battery life is now great, although there a bug in battery charging where in it notifies late yet it charges the phone batt. (not that big if a deal for me). Also i created an aroma zip file to install all system update on my phone since the original update flashes the kernel... Thanks for the replies "learn a lot from all those researches i made" :victory:

It is possible, but i don't have 802 phone to test.
There needs to be one of these for all models. Can you possibly make it available for the Verizon's lg g2?

Sorry, but i only have 805 for testing. But you can use this rom, just replace all .img inside it from Verizon .kdz or .tot

So first we unzip ur rom,then we use that tot/kdz extractor tool n extract the vs980 kdz/tot and replace all the img files from ur rom w the img files from the vs980 kdz then zip it back up right?
edit: oh also does this wipe internal storage like actually flashing a tot/kdz or do you keep the stuff on data/media?
Yes this is correct.
And by doing this will wipe everything, the same as flashing kdz

that is strange, since the rom will overwrite everything.

Could the ota root keeper feature on super su and similar apps cause that?

If you get this thing working, you better make a thread in the Verizon forum for it. The lg tool can suck it.

Sorry to keep bugging you bro but if i was to use a img creator tool to combine this the various bin files, (minus the laf.bin to keep access to fastboot) into 1 img file could it then be flashed using fast boot?
