I'm thinking about flashing the "Flash" kernel with TWRP. Can a kernel be flashed at any time or is it better to do as part of a clean build?
Thanks,
Rick

You can flash a kernel when ever you like. If are are rooted you will lose root . Make sure the kernel matches the Date Version you are on.

You can flash a kernel anytime you want. If you are rooted now, just make sure you have the latest Magisk zip on your phone. Flash kernel.zip then magisk.zip then reboot. You can even queue the two zips in TWRP to flash one after the other. If you don't want/like it anymore, just flash the stock boot.img back. There are also step by step instruction in Nathan's dedicated Flash kernel thread.
Thanks for the replies. I'm rooted and on the Jan build, but have never tried a different kernel. I'm probably going to give the Flash kernel a try.

Awesome... Yeah, and remember that Texas Tech game 11/24/17? Yeah, I was there and it was awesome, too. Guns Up! Ha Ha Ha :good:
. I want to forget that game. I didn't realize the stock kernel is located in the boot image.

Big thanks to RoadRAGEN for helping me figure out an ext4 issue! Odin this to get Deodexed stock EG30 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.18.4.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
I have only tested this with the stock kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel.
Download​
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
reserved just in case
reserved again
Awesome crawrj. You do great work.

Dumb question..... Will this flash the stock kernel that was released with the phone or is this the stock kernel source that is available from Samsung? Awesome Work sir!

This does not contain a kernel. This is a stock file system that is rooted with busybox. I have tested on the root kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel. I have not tested on the Zedomax kernel.
Cool thanks!

File is up.
My phone is not rooted. If I flash this I will be rooted with the Kernel that was on the phone out of box? Also if I then flash Clock work recovery will it change the Kernel to the one others are claiming LOS on?

That is correct. It will be just like flashing with the stock kernel which I have done. If you flash CWM it will change the kernel. Whether or not you get the LOS is up in the air. I have been using it for days and haven't had it yet.
Just so I have this straight, this is a stock rom, no kernel, deoxed so once installed I can flash a theme over it.
I flashed buddies kernel with cwm rooted and flashed back to the stock kernel is there anything I need to do with my kernel or can I just flash this rom?
Edit: he beat me to it, must have been typing at the same time.

Im on starburst rom with zedomax v3..could i just flash the stock kernel and then flash this on top of starburst?
Awesome work. Does the Odin flash give you CWM as well? Or just SuperUser?

Ok...so the only way to have CWM is to change the kernel? I guess rom manager doesn't work for flashing CWM? Sorry if its a stupid question but I have been all over these threads for a week trying to decide which way to root and which way is better.

thanks bro.. One more question does this wipe internal sd card?
This does not have the kernel. I left it out for people to make their own decision on what kernel to use. Once we get a completely stock kernel with stock CWM I will update it. But for now it is just the system partion.
So I would like to flash the "syndicated ice" rom but have had great luck (no LoS) with the stock kernel repacked with CWM. Therefore I would like to keep the kernel but have the rest of the ACS rom. Is that at all possible? Closest info I found said to just delete the zimage from the rom zip and flash as normal to keep the kernel im on. I did some searching (google and XDA) but if I missed it feel free to guide me there with as little flame as possible..haha.
Take the zimage out if the rom using a program such ad 7-zip or winrar.

Just flash your question was how do you keep the kernel and the answer was simply.

Now don't over think things and just go on as normal as you would of if you did not change out kernels... Its just that simple... good luck

just odin the kernel you want after you install the rom......
It is also ok to flash the kernel you want through CWR right after you flash the rom before rebooting. Have chris41g stock repacked on your SD card, Flash syndicated rom, flash kernel, reboot. I believe that's what you want.

so took out the zimage with 7zip and flashed as normal. Got to "flashing kernel" and it told me cant flash kernel, aborted. Was something else suppose to be done? Dont give me the "over thinking it" answer again. Apparently the method is wrong or I missed something that was suppose to be "simple" sorry if im coming off like an ass....kinda

Delete the zimage (thats in the rom) place the zimage that you want in its place within the rom then flash the rom.
All you need to do is flash the rom you want as is with out taking out the zimage. Then flash the kernel you want, much like with other phones. You'll then have your rom and kernel combo.

Can the above be done if ive already flashed Culk's 1.5 ROM? Or would I need to wipe and install both at the same time?
If done with Odin do I load the kernel
in the PDA?

I just flashed Cal's v1.5a, rebooted and then flashed chris41g's LoSt/exp v1.0.0.8 through CWM, no issues.
Probably a pretty stupid question but I'm doing some flashing today and I'm curious. Does it matter which order I flash the Rom and Kernel in? Or should the Kernel come first?
ROMs usually have a kernel with them, so install the rom, then the custom kernel you want.

Rom first, Kernel second! I don't know if it matters but I have never done it the other way. I always allow a boot up first when the rom installs and then reboot into recovery again and install the kernel Good luck.

Will do.
when you install a new kernal, is there anything you need to do or does it replace the old one and most things should just work?

Provided you installed the correct one fo your phone it should work fine. You may notice things like longer battery life, enhanced speed on mobile networks and also the ability to change the frequency of the phones processor. I use an apex kernel on my GNex and it is really good.
If you install a kernel and then a rom, your kernel will be overwritten considering roms come with kernels

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.

One idea but note tested:
FIRST BACKUP!!!!
Extract LP patch
replace boot image with MM stock image
zip back up
reboot in recovery
flash zip
Don't reboot!!!!
Flash Root for MM
Reboot and test
May be a temp fix to the issue.
Make sure you re-flash twrp after all said and done.
Just a Thought.

Try backing up boot image only in twrp
Flash rom
Restore boot image
Reboot
These are just shots in the dark.
We need a rooted kernel or custom kernel for 6.0.1 to flash on top of the Rom.
I've pm'd the guy the made the sky one but no reply. Even sent him a copy of our boot image. His kernel worked as a patch as well on JB. I didn't create the first patch monkey did. I don't know much in that area. I have everything I need far as custom systems go besides a custom kernel. All day battery blah blah blah.
I've sent messages myself, really all that's keeping us from flashing any of the other s6+ Roms is the kernel
