Hey guys,
Been trying to flash a new kernel.
According to all I gave read, I can do it in twrp, yet every time I do, it fails.
Anyone have thoughts as to why?
Note:
I do not have access to Odin so I am looking for simple and efficient.
Thanks
Rooted note2,PACman rom, twrp ver 2.4
Could you explain more?
Try twrp 2.4.2.0 or mobile odin.

I have read here one can flash a kernel through twrp just as you would flash a rom. Every time I try this process the flash fails.
Is there something I am missing?
Of does one need Odin to flash a kernel?

to flash kernel from twrp, you need kernel in flashable zip
if kernel available in tar then you have to flash with Odin
can you add link which kernel you have downloaded
So it looks like there are about 5 different ways to convert a kernel from zip to tar.
By chance any way to make a kernel from tar to zip flashable?

A one package TAR flashed in Odin can still change the baseband. All the one package means is that the 4 files are in one package. I flashed GioPro 1.4 one package from my Canadian GIO and my phone changed to the Euro baseband which does not work in Canada (properly). Luckily I have a baseband only Odin TAR file that I can use to restore my baseband to any ROM.
But as for the particle ROM, if you go to his website: http://particle.blurringexistence.net/ you have the option of downloading the baseband and then just the CWM flashable zip. You just need to download the CWM flashable zip. You do not need to flash the baseband with Odin like it says on the instructions.
Hi for some reason I can not boot into cwm unless I use mobile Odin and flash el26 kernal if I try volume up and power it brings me to the recovery with the android guy and its like yellow and blue lettering if someone can help ty

Have no idea what you are trying to do. Flash kernel, flash ROM, flash Modem, create backup etc....
The stock E4GT does NOT come with CWM. If you want CWM on the stock ROM you can use EL26 or the EL29 (Rogue too) CWMs.
These can be installed via Mobile Odin or sfhub's Autoroot package.
I suggest you do some really serious reading and then do some more reading about how to mod this phone. Otherwise you will end up with an expensive paperweight.
Best and safest place to start is sfhubs EL29 stock rooted, then use his autoroot package to add EL29+CWM+Rogue recovery.
Also don't user ROM Manager OR a 'touch' recovery - you will brick your phone.
Again please read extensively before you brick your phone.
I have root I'm running aokp I have flashed many roms and what not but I just can't boot into recovery (cwm) without using Odin and flashing kernal first then I can

You have to use odin, mobile odin to flash kernels. In odin you have to hold power and volume down first then volume up to get into download mode.
I know how to get into cwm while using Odin never used mobile Odin but like if I shut my phone off and try to boot into cwm I can't

I guess I'm not understanding you completely. Your definitely booting into stock recovery. How exactly are you flashing the el26 kernel?
Send me a pm and I'll explain more to ya if you thank you

AOKP and other ICS ROms typically do not include a custom recovery due to the high risk of bricks. That is why you are unable to get back to cwm. Read the OP of the AOKP thread carefully or you will have an expensive paperweight. On AOKP, you have to Odin EL29 with cwm in order to use recovery safely, then flash an AOSP kernel before rebooting to Android.
As stated... if you flashed an ICS ROM/kernel from a GB CWM setup then CWM won't be there. If you're sure it's still installed and just can't get to it then try downloading "QuickBoot" from the market (it's free) and try the "recovery" option.. maybe that'll work.
Even if you're on an ICS ROM and try to get to CWM you should still get to a stock recovery....
My brother has a At&t gs3 that needs to be sent for warranty. He still has stock firmware except that it's rooted and has a custom recovery. I assume all he has to do is flash the stock kernal to get rid of root and recovery, right? I Downloaded DLK3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625. The packed contents show 2 .img files, boot.img and recovery.img. Can these be flashed in odin, and is the boot.img the kernal and the recovery.img the recovery? I know that at least from the previous galaxy s models that the kernal was around 5.3 mb. But I may have mistakenly though that the recovery was part of the kernal.

Thank you for your reply. There is a guide to flash the complete package using odin. However, I am not trying to do that. Because where he is currently at, he does not have the bandwidth to download the 730+mb package, thus I am trying to just get him access to the kernal/recovery, so that he can flash that using Odin.

You will be flashing a .tar file in odin. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269

Yes. I am able to download that file, but he is not. It's too big. Is there a way to flash just the kernel/recovery, pulled from this archive?

A different recovery can be flashed with the .img file through a terminal emulator on the phone. I am unsure about flashing anything else.
Okay, i found a couple tutorials on making odin flashable files, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484304 and http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=155. I'm just not sure which of the files in the stockfirmware package is the kernel. I'm used to zImage, but don't see that in the list. There is a boot.img whish is 5.48mb, so i assume this is it, but not sure.

The boot.img is separate from the kernel. DO NOT mess with that.. you will definitely brick the phone.. Im no expert on any of this, but really the best way to go about this is with Odin. There is a mobile version of Odin in the play store. Mobile ODIN
Not sure if this is useful to you guys.
Re: Which file is kernal, how to to flash in Odin?
The plan is a odin flash. Just trying make a odin flashable file of just stock dlk3 kernel and recovery.

Just make sure you know exactly what you're flashing before you do it.

Thank you. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm pretty sure boot.img is the kernel. Just not sure.

Good morning you all,
I have my son's s3 on rooted stock mb1 at the moment.. was trying to update a kernel and it doesn't seem to be flashing.. the kernel name stays the same in the about phone screen... I also tried to flash the hotspot mod and it doesn't show up in the settings after flashing.. it's as of twrp isn't flashing fully.. it's says success when flashing but didn't seem to complete.. I'm thinking I may just try to update to the latest stock and go from there.. any ideas on the flashing and why things wouldn't be sticking?
Thanks

It would be very helpful to know the answers to these questions:
1. How did you attain root?
2. What recovery are you using?
3. What MB1 stock rooted ROM are you using?
4. Which kernel are you trying to flash?
5. did you check the MD5 code in the zip you downloaded?
Thanks
I obtained root using the tool kit..
I am using twrp for recovery.
Stock mb1 deoxed Rom.
Trying to flash updated optimized stock kernel..
Also retired to flash the hotspot fix zip..
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Yes.
I'd return to 100% stock and then obtain root -not- using the toolkit.
There have been lots of issues had by those that utilized that method of rooting.
First, unroot:

re-root:
follow this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoEVDgjTTdg&list=PL7011CD883D5201B8&index=12&feature=plpp_video
make sure to use the newest version of CWM (6.0.3.1) I am using touch, it works well.
EDIT: the tar file available for download (that the video talks about) should contain the latest version of CWM
Good luck
If you're just flashing a kernel you should wipe Dalvik and cache. That could be where it went sideways.

Can somebody give me a flashable boot.img? I don't know how to install it when it's not a zip. I flashed the recovery.img instead of the boot.img and now it reboots only to recovery

Just flash some custom ROM mate.
Besides, for which rom you are asking boot img?

TWRP 2.8.4.0 has build-in *.img flashing. No need for any other app/flashable zip/whatsoever.
Simple go to Install and change the Zip option at the top to Img
