In your signature it says that your phone is an Xperia X8 so i recommend you use the right forum to ask questions as they are both very different phones.
Anyway, Odin is a program on windows that allows you to flash a ROM on Samsung mobiles (only).
Certain kernels can be flashed through CWM i think. Check on the G3Mod Kernel thread for more information.
CWM can be installed without a PC i think but you need a few files that you have to message 'Mumbozver' for since he is the person who made CWM work on the Samsung Galaxy 3. Then you will be able to flash a kernel using the update.zip method and if you flash a G3Mod kernel, then you will be able to use Multiboot to boot up a custom ROM.
All the information will be on the G3mod thread, first page so go there to start off and message mumbozver for the CWM files.

Yes, message a user named 'Mumbozver' for the files and also the instructions on how to install it.

Try to use a pc for about 10min. Just flash via odin one packagr. Lots of samsung phones use odin to flash roms and kernels. Kernels csn be flashed thru cwm in the .zip format

I don t think there is any other way. You need a PC so that you can flash G3Mod kernel. It has CWM recovery built in. Or you need to flash some ROM which has built in recovery.

G3mod only supports android 2.2 and 2.3.
And I recommend to flash kyorarom when version 5 is released as it has some awesome never before seen features.

[Q] GT-I9003L update

Hi all! I'm trying to update my Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9003L). It's rooted.I get an OTA update but when I try to apply it, it says "Kernel verify fail. Update fail"
My current firmware version is 2.3.6, my baseband is I9003LUBKPD, my kernel version is is 2.6.35.7-CL765780 [email protected] #1 and my compilation number is GINGERBREAD.UBKPE
I think the problem has to do with the phone being rooted. I unrooted it using the clockwork mod recovery menu, but it didn't work either.
Is there anything I could do?
Thanks!!!

Its giving that error because u r rooted.
Rooting changes your kernel.
And even after unrooting ur device from recovery the kernel remains the same.

So, does it mean I'm out of luck?

No.
U may flash stock rom.
And later from settings u may update ur phone.

Is there a way to just restore the recovery kernel without flashing the whole rom?

(I tried to find the answer before asking but I haven't been able to) Do I need to flash the full stock rom? Or is there a way to just restore the stock recovery kernel? I'm asking because when I rooted I just flashed the PDA file to the phone, but I'm still using the stock rom.
And... is there any guide or tutorial to do this?

-Removed for Personal Information-

I have one way to help.
Keep the stock fw file on sdcard and then by using mobileOdin, select kernel and choose the rom file.
And dont forget to uncheck the rooting options at bottom.
But be sure you have a backed up ur current rom.
As i m not sure if it will definitely work or not.

just flash the entire stock firmware if you want to get OTA

[Q] Does Kdz Wipe the recovery

I wish to return to froyo, but the images provided in the thread with the zip files of froyo don't work. My computer's hard disk is fried some my nandroid backup is gone. Will Flashing with Kdz wipe my custom recovery?

Yes, it will erase the Recovery partition and then instal the recovery inside the kdz.

KDZ has high chances of bricking, you can try to find a froyo zip

I have the stock deodexed froyo zip which I made from a nandroid backup using dsixda kitchen
If you want I can share

You need to flash the kernel modules, you don't mess with the kernel at all. It'll brick the phone.
