I decided to dump the stock FP1 kernel for everyone who has been looking for an way to get it without having to go back to stock. It's Odin only right now, but I'll try to put together a CWM in the next day or two when I get time.
Stock FP1 kernel Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/?ns38atiw1d7er5x
EDIT: We now have a CWM version thanks to dwitherell. See his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24459684&postcount=8
Make sure you're at rfs before flashing either of these kernels, otherwise, you'll hang at boot.
DISCLAIMER: As usual, I'm not responsible if this breaks your phone, burns down your house, or causes your dog to run away. I've tested it and it works for me.
Big thanks go to imnuts, both as an inspiration and for the many examples that I've studied and followed to get enough confidence to do this.
One more note. When I was testing this, installing PBJ over FP1 killed my boot animation and flashing the FP1 kernel didn't bring it back. If this happens to you, reflash your ROM and it should fix it.
sweet, this is what we need. It's a pain to go back to full image. Thanks bro.
This kernel can be flashed if you never took the OTA, still custom ROM, custom kernel, and would like to flash eclipse 2.0?

Yep. This will bring you to the FP1 kernel from any state.

Awesome! Thanks man. Nice to have to try out the kernel without having to deal with the rest of stock. Now I can see if the radios really are new and improved!
I get stuck on SAMSUNG screen after flashing this on top of Eclipse 2.0. I am going to try backing out and trying again.
Posted this elsewhere, but...
Ironically I only put together a cwm zip a while back and not an ODIN...

It's not a good idea to run FP1 kernel on any EP4 rom. It meant to be use with FP1 base rom only.

Just what is the FP1 base rom? I thought the only way to get to the FP1 was from the base rom EP4.
Example, if I am currently running FP1 Eclipse, when I flash this, will I end up back at stock FP1.

Base rom, meaning a rom using FP1 as the base. Flashing this over Eclipse 2.0 will work fine, and should get your wifi back if you're having wifi issues.
I just had the weirdest thing. first, I am running eclipse 2.0 with PNJ. I tried to CWM the stock FP1 kernel after disabling voodoo Lagfix. My system booted up, but was so slow it was unusable. I cleared my caches before the flash and backed up (thankfully) any idea what went wrong. Of ya I also have tried reflashing ROM and kernel a couple times to see if it'll work. Any ideas what I'm missing here, I know it's something simple.

Were you using Voltage Control or SetCPU? I know when I first flashed the kernel it defaulted to Power Save for the Governor which was making it run pretty slow.
Yea I had voltage control, but it restored it to default before flashing. I think I'll just have to go back to stock, take update then root and put eclipse back on. If I decide I really want my wifi working again.
Thanks for the a suggestions.

Hello,
I'm a new poster here, but a long time lurker... Anyway I'm having a problem.
I just rooted and flashed the Heinz57 rom, got everything set up the way I want it. I booted into recovery to do a back up and it says "Error while backing up Boot Image." Yes, I've disabled lagfix. USCC Mesmerize, btw.
What is this error and how do I fix it?
CwM 3.x, fyi.
Thank you for any help!
Do you have lagfix enabled? If so, try disabling it in CWM, reboot, and try backing up.
Ha! Just edited the OP!
I have it disabled everytime I try to back it up. No luck.
But have you disabled it and rebooted your phone to actually let it convert the file system back?
I disable, reboot, let it do its thing and when it's done, go back into recovery. Try to backup, it gives me the error.

Why r y'all disabling lagfix? Ive not been disabling and my backups r restoring just fine. I vaguely remember that disabling was recommended at some point but thought it was on cwm2.5 so when we got 3.0 I tried not disabling and been good so far on every Rom I've flashed.

If you leave it enabled and end up with a bad Rom flash that forces you to have to use Odin you can end up with a lot of issues.
I just flash it like a normal ROM right? I mean flash the ROM w/ the kernel then flash the gapps.

Sent from my SCH-I500
I have tried to flash this several times with little luck guess I am missing something.
Currently I have Heinz_57.Hybrid_v5_7_11_OTB_edify and using the heinz57 custom blue cwm.
I flashed MESMERIZE Cyanogenmod 7 first and the proper GAPPS second. When I reboot the Android pops up and does nothing else I have waited five minutes no luck. I wind up having to reflash and go back to Heinz 57. I did wipe Data also noticed when flashing Cyanogenmod 7 it doesn’t give me the blue random words I get when flashing other kernels.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I also did the exact same as the poster above me, from the same ROM and CWM custom blue recovery and have had no luck... I have also tryed about every other combination I can think of, with the same results. Which for me, is after reboot i get stuck on the samsung logo. I've let it run the course for over 10-15-mins with no change just for good measure but still nothing. I can flash and run ANY other rom so far besides cm7, including cm 7.0.3. So.. I'm verry baffled atm myself..
I'm am in no way sure about this since i have not flashed cm7 but you may have to odin froyo and start from scratch, i had this problem with another rom and my best guess is it was do the the kernel that was installed was not the correct one. Another thing to try is a wipe and install a non-vodoo aosp kernel reboot recovery and then try to flash zip again
Jack off. That helps.
Load an soap kernal first then flash cm7 and gapps. I don't know why this works but its what I have to do every time I load cm7.

Yeah that's what many of us assumed. Unfortunately that doesn't appear to be the case as we learned. There were a number of us that ended in boot loops or frozen on the splash screen if you just flash the rom and gapps.
Sorry for jacking this thread but which recovery allows you to do a legit nand? The otb gives me a boot img error and ti's makes 3 separate on CM7? I thought I solved all my nand problems before I flashed this by doing bdemartinos posted fix.

Hi everyone, last night I rooted my Charge with Odin. Flashed EE4 debloated, CWM, voodoo lag fix, SD card patch. Took 5 minutes, not a problem in the world. I just forgot to make a back up of the stock rom before flashing. How do I go about getting back to stock and making a back up, then reflashing it all?

There is no point in backing up if you are talking about using CWM. The backup and restore function do not work correctly yet which is why Imnuts removed it from his most current build of CWM.
FYI it is not that backup won't work but when you restore it will brick the device.
Ok. Can i use another method besides CWM?

I made sure voodoo was activated/disabled when it had to.. i restored Valhalla Final once before going to Valhalla Black. I dont see whats wrong
If you haven't fixed it yet stop using Odin and clear out your gremlins with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422824
Then proceed to cwm flash Val black followed by reboot recovery. Finally advanced restore data from your Val black backup and you should be set to go.

So does anyone know the problem with the restore then? I tried it, knowing it might bootloop my phone, and it bootlooped it.
It was a good bootloop too- the kind where you couldn't get into download mode without a computer.
Edit: I was using Val Black, and hadn't changed anything.
I believe this is an issue with Gingerbread roms. There are two ways you can restore:
1) Do an "Advanced Restore" and only restore your data.
2) Grab drhonk's Bali Kernel for Froyo 2.2.x and also the GB kernel of your choice (like the new KJ6 beta kernel with CWM and put both on your SD card.
- After you flash your gingerbread rom of choice, go to cwm and flash the Bali kernel (DO NOT REBOOT).
- Do a rull restore from your backup (DO NOT REBOOT)
- Flash the modded KJ6 kernel with CWM.
- Reboot your phone.

+1 if you are running cwm recovery from Dr. honk kg4-kj1 or the kj6 beta 2a-d.
if your are running the beta v1 kernel or the rc v1.1 kernel that comes with Val black you should have an updated cwm and a full restore should work.
Please report back with the version number listed in the top right corner of cwm

Val black uses smsv1.1 flashing v1 would be going backwards
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It was CWM 5.x.x.x. The older versions didn't let you do a full restore (on gb), plus old backups were incompatible. I was using the latest kernel that came with it- fresh back up, everything.
I knew about the data trick, just restoring that. I believe that something was wrong with the boot img, or whatever is responsible for CWM in the kernel. I couldn't get into recovery, or download mode for a long time. I mean I did it on purpose, to see if it was really an issue, so I had it coming. I wouldn't recommend anyone else trying it though, because I didn't think I was getting into download mode at all.
Edit: Would reflashing the kernel after the back up have helped? I keep my roms on my sd card just in case I have to use recovery?

I've been stuck on this all day. No idea what to do and it would be awesome if someone could help me out here.
Ok so i was running eagles blood ics and everything was working fine. I decided to check out some gingerbread roms so i backed up my eg ics rom. I wiped, cleared dalvik and battery, and formated system. Then i flashed the eg cm7 rom with harsh kernel. I've flashed roms and kernels many times before so i'm pretty sure that i didnt do anything wrong (atleast to my knowledge)
When i was done flashing everything i rebooted my phone and it was the white LG logo that came up, and then right after it was the blue LG logo and it sent me back to clockwork recovery. I attempted to wipe all and reflash again and it then sent me to recovery again. I tried restoring my backup and tried rebooting and it sent me to recovery again.
I dont know what to do at this point, anyone kind enough to let me know what may have gone wrong? it would be greatly appreciated.
