[Q] Flashing a different kernel? - Samsung Infuse 4G

Since I am kind of new, but have flashed a few ROM's to date with no issues, I wanted to ask before I fubar'd something.
Also, I have searched for the answer to this question but I have yet to find a clear cut answer.
When flashing a different kernel to a ROM, I download the kernel in .zip format and place it on my SD. I boot into red recovery. Do I just flash the kernel like I would a ROM with the exception of clearing DATA/CACHE? Same goes for modems?
I appreciate any help anyone is willing to offer.
TIA

Yes or you can get SMS Kernel flasher from the market and not worry about going into recovery unless your flashing a modem or rom
Big Dog Infuse I997 ZEUS rom!!!

Cool, I will try that. Thanks!
Your answer forces me to ask another question in regards to flashing modems.
When/if I need to flash a modem is that when I need to go into red recovery and install zip from SD or is there a special procedure for flashing a modem? If so, I will go looking for the specific instructions.
However, if you cared to post them in a response I would greatly appreciate it.
TIA

Just flash modem from recovery

SGS, not SMS

Whats the benefit of flashing a diff Kernel? What exactly does a kernel do? and yes i am a noob (see my post count) I wanna be able to understand why i am or am not gonna do this in the future.

In non-technical terms that you will probably get because of the question...this so u can understand...its what runs and controls your entire os and user interface...the heart of the software

So, when u build a ROM do u put a updated kernel in it? Why would i need to update the kernel?

Drivers...ui interface...all around performance and tuning...I am not a kernel dev ..I'm a rom dev...entropy or bedwa can get more in depth...

Some kernels also allow for overclocking/undervolting but give up bt and/or HDMI out
Check out gbinfuse and entropys dd in the dev section. The threads make for good bedtime reading

Umm... that's probably because it's meant for froyo bro. If you can still boot into the rom that you were in, add the su fix in the Doctorz rom and then flash it. If not, odin to stock, root FROYO, 3e, gtg community kernel. You know the deal.
This phone is a headache....my skyrocket is so much less frustrating!!!

If you had really researched it you would have read that SOC won't root the kk3 leak.
The GB roms that you see have been modded or ported.
To root the kk3 leak all you have to do is flash entropy's kernel dated 11/02/11.

Yeah, that was what I was gonna suggest.
I wasn't sure if the OP wanted to stay on stock or go from there to another custom ROM.
I must say..you guys around here are brutal..forgive me if my language on the matter is sub-par...i do understand the concept though...i have flashed back to stock and thanks to super thread been working from there with success....There are a ton of threads regarding this device..I treated it mostly like it was similar to a skyrocket..

I'm sorry, but I'm a total noob with Samsung. I rooted to a particular ROM, but ran into some issues and had to unbrick the phone. Upon doing so, I selected the kk3 leak and then lost root. I used SOC 2.3.3 to try to reroot, but I got stuck at step 7. So I want to try flashing Entropy's kernel as you mentioned. I'm not sure how to do this though. The kernel is in a CWM .zip format, but Odin reads .tar files. Do I unzip the .zip file and then convert to a .tar file? This didn't seem to work when I initially tried it, but perhaps I did something wrong. Any special settings I need to use? Also, do I just need to reboot after I flash it and I will have root? If not, what else must I do?
Sorry again for my lack of understanding. I've been trying to find an answer for hours and have become a little desperate. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

lol. Well another member said "To root the kk3 leak all you have to do is flash entropy's kernel dated 11/02/11." I thought that meant it could be rooted. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Q] @ Dman

First of all, After reading a lot here (maybe not enough) Thanks for all you have done and are doing..
As my post count shows i am a supernoob at this android phone stuff with this being my first smart phone..I would like to ask you a question in regards to your [ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB1 [Rooted, deodexed, busybox].
I updated my phone through kies mini with the first Samsung release of GB so it is not rooted and you say flash your ROM with CWM which needs root that I don't have.
Can i flash this ROM with ODIN since from what I have read does not require root? (Or am I wrong thinking ODIN does not need root access?)
I'll be honest some of the threads about flashing are pretty confusing when you have never done it before.
Anyhow... Thanks in advance for any reply..
P.S. I give you total permission to hit me upside the head with the stupid stick if I missed the answer to this..
No.. you cannot flash with Odin.... my suggestion is to Odin gtg unbrick.... or flash the community gb kernel to cwm, then wipe and flash my rom ... it is only cwm flashable... if u use gtg unbrick, then root with superoneclick, 3e modified recovery to get cwm, then flash my rom. You will not be able to flash it from the official update. Good luck bro

t989 to skyrocket conversion

Just wondering....if anyone is using this. Can u flash a att kernel after u flash the conversion. The stock kernel stinks. Slow. no BLN support. Thanks
Udon't really need that conversion kit. Just flash the t989 rom u want in cwm and flash the kernel u like best right after, then reboot. faux 010m is my favourite, then reboot. As a precaution though, make sure you read all the threads kn flashing in the dev section before u brick ur phone
The kit merely contains a stock at&t SR /boot and a gps.conf file. Nothing special.

Might b a stupid question but is there any way to flash a 989 rom and use the kernel with it instead of flashing a 727 kernel? Or is that brick city? Kernels always scared me
Shouldn't brick but you will have unique screen orientation till you flash a kernel that's made for your device like what was just linked on the page before this

Already did. Its OK. Flashed beastmod ex 5.0. Not as fast as it probably should b because of the difference in kernel. Was just curious what would happen if I tried to run it the way it comes. Thanks
Yeah, beastmod looks nice, but u be able to get LTE, or even 4g, without a t989 radio

If you are already flashing things in CWM, flashing a kernel is cake, like my name says. Just honestly, flash the ROM, wipe the caches, flash the kernel and do a jig. If anything goes wrong you'll still be able to boot back into CWM and re-flash something else. As long as you aren't using ODIN to flash a boot / kernel you have nothing to worry about.

Anyone Interested

Hello my name is Master&Slave over from the Tmobile Galaxy S II Community and im just wondering if anyone would like to port my ROMs over to the SKYROCKET
I know you can just flash with the conversion package thing in which I have never tried but it may perform better from a complete port.
Here they are Tuesday & Paradox II.
I do my own themes so if you want to port without my theme on it, feel free I dont mind at all, just trying to offer more ROM choices.
Cheers
I'm curious on what your "themed aosp messaging" looks like. Can I get a screencap of that? I might steal the apk for it...
I think you're stuff looks real good you should hit up silver wrx, or mod1441 is love to see what you guys cook up

Definitely would be nice if someone could port these over. I've run different 989 roms for weeks at a time, they're basically fully functional yet not the same as device specific. I for one appreciate the offer M&S, always wondered why more devs haven't "cross ported" in order to further expand your portfolios.

Don't own the device, technically I do with the Tmo version but you know what I mean. Never flashed a SkyRocket ROM ever nor looked at the framework or internal files.
Should I just put these in the Dev section here? Since you guys can just flash with the conversation package?

As far as i know the only hardware difference is in the physical mounting of the accelerometer.

If you use 727 rom as a base you can get rid of the heavily reported "2d lag" noted so often in 989 forums. (just a thought)

[Q] Galaxy S3 rom for Skyrocket or i727

hi...im new to xda but i really think you guys could help me with this...im kinda a newbie to this...but my question is can i download the s3 rom and flash it to my skyrocket...i have cwm and everything but i never downloaded or flashed a rom on my skyrocket yet...i really wanna noe if i can download the s3 rom n flash it to my skyrocket...thanx guys
if this is possible please link me to a download for it thnx
The rom's provided in the developer section are the only roms that are compatable with the Skyrocket or i727. I dont believe there are any mirror roms of the S3. There are roms with features from S3 though.
thank you...hopefully it will come out soon though...thats the only rom that seems to interest me unfortunately
Flashing an s3 rom on the skyrocket is a sure fire way to brick your phone. I recommend reading some of the stickies in the General section, which should have this answer among others.

It's a custom kernel that allows oc, uv, and bln. You should really read some more before doing any flashing.

Mohans drains battery faster from my experience. Even under clocked and under volted. If you don't care about bln, grab the other kernel.

I am running the non-mohan kernel on mine and wifes phone. It is the smoothest, best battery life, ICS I have ran. Like other wise men said, just read the post, download required software, and go! It is quite easy, even from an old farts' perspective.
BTW, would not hurt to make nandroid backup of current state before trying.
ODIN is your friend!
Cyanogenmod started doing nightly builds for the skyrocket, i'm running it right now. The lock screen tends to lock up for a few seconds, but otherwise a very stable build. No FCs so far.

Yes after you flash R1 boot up wait like 10 minutes and flash R4. The R3 is just something he forgot to change. I am using this rom right now and I love it.
