I never tried it on blaze but the commands should work with heimdall just run "heimdall flash --kernel boot.img --verbose" this is assuming you are on GB and use either k0nane kernel or extract mine from builds 1-4 of dknight rom

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

I don't know anything about heimdall and generally try to avoid all things apple related, but with flashing using adb, you place the image in the same folder as the adb command. Perhaps the same thing applies here?

I really hope that I don't offend anybody here, but these are my views as an I.T. Tech for the past 7 years;
Aside from the fact that all OS's Apple puts out are inferior in just about every way imaginable, both mobile and desktop, the company is a Naziistic morals-less organization whose only impressive creation is the iSheep. Some how they've created a cult of people who have too much money and are willing to spend it on the latest thing put out. By now, anyone who owns an iPhone 4 is a social outcast. And let's face it, the only reason there are no viruses on macs is because even virus writers and script kiddies don't recognize it as an OS worth mentioning.

thought someone might of answered this by now but you can grab the cwm by shabby penguin and extract the recovery.img from the tar file and then using heimdall try this command from terminal
./heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
of course you need to cd where the recovery.img is at and your phone needs to be in download mode.
DIsclaimer; I am not responsible for any damage to the device nor have i tried this on the blaze.
I think this should work but again I've personally never done it on the blaze.

dude, get the drivers from the samsung site, get heimdall 1.1, get visual c++ redistrobutable package and get the comunity kernel.
extract the kernel .zip and find the zimage
install the drivers
open heimdall
put the zimage in the kernel slot
put the phone in download mode and connect to usb
hit the flash button in heimdall
pretty easy

There is also Heimdall (for win, mac, and linux) which uses the same protocol as Odin (loke), but is open-source and is not leaked unsupported software.

From my limited experience:
If you want to root GB 2.3.6, you need to get it into download mode and bypass Samsung Secured factory recovery and flash an insecure kernel.

On average it takes about 15-20 mins give or take.well if you do it properly ie flash the correct version of fxz for your phone there are little chances to fail.but if that happens you can always retry.and hardbrick is very unlikely.

I just have to point this out to EVERYONE. This is one reason you do NOT EVER remove busybox. It was not the fact the the hijack was removed, but because busybox links itself to MANY critical "linux" functions, and it does not re-link those back to the motobox (minimal busybox like binary), or rename old bin files if they were there before, so there are things like mount and other functions that do not work properly.
I am not chastizing the OP here, just making a point to everyone about busybox, as this has been mentioned very little in the forums, so I thought this is a good place to point this out and the hazards with removing busybox, it will bootloop you nearly everytime.
It is better to just fxz back to full stock before/instead of removing busybox. Although I am still really not sure why anyone would want to remove busybox at all, it gives you a ton of linux utilities all in one binary and creates links to things like mount, etc.

I totally dis-agree. It does have bearing in here, because if someone does actually do a search for removing busybox on an atrix 2, this will come up. That was really the ONLY reason I put it here. And also the Brick thread is really for bricks, removing busybox is a whole other can of worms. And look I have respect that you have come up lately and taken an active role in here, but don't forget I have been trail blazing on this phone for over a year now, and have been trying to save people from themselves the whole time, so maybe re-read and think about why I did what I did in here. I am no jumping on you at all, just trying to show you my point.

I know that. I just wanted to make sure that you understood. As I said I was not jumping on you at all. I just really wanted you and others to realize I am trying to help out future busybox users that may want to uninstall, and "actually" use the search function, that was all.
Can I uninstall busybox free and install busybox probably. Plz help?

As Jim said, you CANNOT uninstall a Busybox. So its best to take Ti back of your stuff and do a RSD install, then install busybox of your choice.
