Can I flash my backed up stock kernel over Community kernel? - Samsung Infuse 4G

A few weeks ago I flashed the CWM Community kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher. No problems. Now I need to return Infuse to stock. (running stock ROM, only flashed v8 Community Kernel for ext4 and CWM Red). I backed up my stock kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher right before I flashed the v8 Community Kernel. So my question: Can I simply disable voodoo lagfix (via Red CWM), reboot to allow RFS conversion, then reflash the stock kernel (using SGS Kernel Flasher) over the v8 Community Kernel? Or will I create a problem flashing the stock kernel over the v8 Community Kernel? Will this remove the RED CWM Recovery? Thx.

i did that the other day with my wifes infuse, just disable lagfix, reboot you will here the robot lady again lol... go to SGS and reflash back to stock!

Thanks for the confirmation. Did you manually delete the /sdcard/Voodoo folder after reflashing stock kernel?

Is there ap that backs up just your kernel like on the

Sgs? There was a app called kernel flasher I believe that allowed you to backup kernels and flash others..... I know I can backup rom, flash kernel and if I don't like it I can just restore my backup, but the restoring takes forever. I'd rather just flash the stock kernel... Or is there a stock kernel zip floating around I missed?
Thanks
Stock kernel zip would be great. That's what preventing me from flashing a kernel right now.

Yeah I miss that program. Funny thing is I'm still stock.
On my vibrant I'd flash almost daily.
This phone seems where the vibrant peaked out of the box.
So I just have not needed to.
But you just took me back.
Give it time.

- Install kernel using ODIN version, phone will reboot automatically.
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery).
- Disable voodoo
- Reboot
- Install busybox from market
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery)

Now im at a totally balnk screen still in download mode took the battery out put it back in and its a black screen still in DM..
Actually where can i find the bootloaders? I flashed hawks deodexed sans the bootloaders. will I have to extract from original leak? Or should I still be on froyo cause I can't get into recovery on this rom

im flashing back to KD1 then ill flash the debloated version then ill odin this kernal see if that works
Damn! Now I have to switch to Gingerbread. Great work drhonk!
Thank You! You are the Man!
So... my kernel flash failed, and I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message... Am I screwed? or should I still be able to enter download mode?
EDIT: Scratch that, it took a bit, but my phone appeared in Odin again. No worries
DOUBLE EDIT: This just flashes in the 'PDA' field right? I'm not doing anything wrong?
AThis sounds like good news, if only i understood what most of the stuff meant. Can someone give me accurate, precise directions on flashing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Current info: I'm on balil 3.3UV kernel, ICBINB, and kf2 modem. Thanks for all the help awesome community! Thanks to drhonk for making this kernel too!
mine still hangs wen i try to odin this file

That's what's happening to me. I wonder... if we replace the one in the leak and flash that, should it work?
Truly brilliant work drhonk. Thank you once again for your superior dev work on this phone.

I'm assuming that it worked perfectly for you?
which slot does this get flashed from bootloader, pda, phone, or csc

This is a modded stock kernel from the latest gingerbread leak, UVKG4. I didn't change anything to the kernel, it's pure stock but did added few mods to it. In theory .. this kernel should work with any GB leak for SGS4G as long as you're still on Froyo bootloader or KG4 bootloader, otherwise you won't be able to get to recovery.
Things I added:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition to ext4 during first boot)
- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)
NOTE:
This is ODIN file, use ODIN to flash this kernel .. if you don't know how, google it.

Humans, (and some others),
To flash. Put it into PDA on ODIN, or extract it and put the zImage in Heimdall.

Wife's Infuse Rebooting...

well guys, i wanted my wifes infuse a bit faster so i went ahead and flashed the [FROYO-Kernel-OC/UV-BLN] Infusion Kernel 2.0] to the stock Froyo with SGS Kernel flasher, but i backed up the stock one before flashing, the thing is that i installed Laucher pro and SetCPU and went up to 1400mhz.. and like maybe 10 minutes later it started to reboot, it reboots 3 times and then i wont turn on, i have to boot it via recovery.. should i reinstall the kernel or go back to stock? can i go back without wipping data?? Thanks!!

If you can adb into your phone from recovery, you should be able to delete the voltage settings from init.d. Alternatively, just flash a different kernel that doesn't support overclocking.
Can i just reflash the stock kernel from the SGS backup??

You should be able to flash the stock Froyo Infuse kernel, but I'm not sure what will happen with SetCPU. It seems like your best bet.
if you flash the factory kerne lyou will have a brick because of voodoo. diable voodoo first and let the conversion happen again. it takes a while. or you can flash a non overclock voodoo kernel
Flash community kernel v8

If the phone was stock before the kernel will enable lagfix which makes the phone faster without the need for overclock. It also roots it and adds voodoo sound.

[Q] How to get Red CWM

I was running Infused 2.2.3 for the longest time and when I always went into recovery it was red.
Well, I was switching roms and got a hiccup in the install and had to revert back to stock using odin and gtg unbrick.
Once I was back to stock froyo, I rooted, replaced the recovery.bin file with the no sig file and then went into rom manager and got cwm, rebooted, reinstalled packages, etc...
Well I have cwm, but when I get into it, its green lettering...not red.
Only reason I ask is because just about everywhere I see, they say get into red.
Any ideas on how I can get red installed?
thanks

When in cwm, choose to install zip from SD card and go all the way to bottom and select "update.zip" and if it doesn't reboot, select reboot now and it should boot into Red CWM. That might do it i think

Flash Entropy's daily driver kernel. You'll get red CWM and voodoo lagfix. Great kernel by the way.

thanks, I will prob have a rom with a stock kernel...if thats the case, can I flash entropys kernel (which is my choice one on custom roms) through odin in the pda slot?
thanks for the help.
I will only want to flash a custom kernel to get root, then back to stock because the rom I will be running is based on one of the newer leaks, and I want video.

Well you need to have a kernel with voodoo enabled like Entropy's or you can't get red cwm. The stock leaks HAVE to have a stock kernel for video to work however. Oh, and yes you can. You can do that or through SGS Kernel Flasher on the market. What do you need red for anyway?
Don't forget, if I helped you, hit thanks please

[Q]SGH_I997 UCKL2(Rooted, Deodexed, and Busybox)(CRT off)

I flashed this rom recently and everything was working fine, but I got stuck at bootloop after flashing the kernel using sgs flasher. So I flashed the non rooted version of this leak using odin. Now I can't root my phone using SOC. How can I root it? Would flashing the zImage from this rom using odin work? Any help would be appreciated.
There is no way to root the stock kernel...that's why I made a rooted version...to flash the stock kernel you have to disable voodoo lagfix in recovery....I posted that in op
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Weird thing, I read that part but couldn't find voodoo on my CWM. Anyway I guess I'm gonna stock back to UCKD5 or something and then root/3e/CWM on top of it and later flash your rom.
Thanks a lot for the rom! Love UCKL2 so far!!!

To be able to root the official (non rooted) leaked GB roms, you just flash a custom kernel like Entropy's daily driver using Heimdall or Odin. Then, you have to install su and Superuser either manually with adb or with a CWM flashable zip. It's really not too hard to do. Once it's rooted, you just flash the stock kernel again for working video, etc. That's how I do it anyway.
