I have a tablet that i tried putting a customer kernel on that a buddy helped me with. I cannot flash any roms because they dont match the version or something of my tablet. Is there a way to revert back or flash the stock kernel so i can flash Cyanogen or AOKP or something? Or hell even the stock rom with the updates. Thank for any help!

Can you try flashing the recovery image?

I am new to the Charge but not rooting and Android. I came from the DX so the way things are done in this thing are different. Here's my question:
I am currently rooted and running a rom with a custom kernel. If I use Odin to flash the official software, will I also need to replace the kernel separately or will flashing the official software also restore the original kernel?
You will not need to replace anything, the Odin package is all in one. It will put you back to bare stock which means ROM, kernel, recovery, modem, you name it.
If you wouldn't mind helping could you link me to a rooting guide on a DX? Some general tips on rooting it would be very appreciated. My dad has one and I'd like to root/ROM it for him but i don't feel like studying up >_< Thanks!

Odin will replace everything, including your kernel.
Thanks for the response. I got confused because I saw posts saying that some kernels were interchangeable but I didn't know if they meant that you would have to flash the kernel after you flash the rom or if you just flash a new rom and the kernel remains. Appreciate the response.
You have to flash kernal only on cmw versions and not all of them read the pre requisites it will tell you if the cwm version either do not or do.have a kernal included for example humble 5 cwm version I.believe u.have to flash a kernal prior to rebooting or stock recovery will over write cwm happened to me and learned my.lesson the hard way !!!

Okay...so flashing the stock file will also get rid of CWM, right?
Let's say I want to flash a rom and made a backup thru CWM of my stock rom will I be able to keep root if I flash it back to the stock rom ?
II'm doing this cause I care most about no auto brightness issue than the actual advantage to go with a custom rom.
Thanks
Why don't you just root your stock ROM then? You need to be rooted to flash CWM recovery anyways..

If your ROM is already rooted, and you're restoring it from CWM, yes. If you're using fastboot to re-flash the stock ROM, no, you'll have to re-root it.
I'm kind of confused about what you're asking, though. Can you give more specific details? Are you going to flash a different ROM and try to flash the stock ROM, or parts of it, on top of the new ROM? I wouldn't do that unless you're very sure of what you're doing.
Since I want to flash the thalamus kernel on my Nexus S with JB, I have to be on a rom and given that no JB factory image is available yet I don't really get what I should do.
When the OTA came out I was on a deoxedex, zipaligned, etc. stock rom of ICS, so, in order to elude the error status 7 issue I flashed the 4.0.4 factory image from google and then flashed the OTA update.
If I want to flash a JB rom, do I have to re-flash an ICS rom? And if so, can it be a non-stock rom or I would get the error status 7 message again?
No. You just need to make sure you have a custom recovery, like CWM. I was on ICS and then flashed a JB ROM with no issues.

Well, factory images just came out so it's fine now.
Haha. I was JUST about to post that. Good news for everybody.
I'd like to remove the trinity Kernel for JellyBean. I enjoy it's overclock but I hate it when my phone just randomly reboots. Is there a way to remove it. I have created a backup before I flashed it, but I'd like to remove it without having to restore to that backup.
Thanks
flash your rom without wiping, then flash gapps

I should have mentioned, I'm running stock. No custom rom installed
Just flash a different custom kernel or the stock kernel. If you want a different custom kernel, and you want something stockish, you wan try SimpleKernel or thalamus kernel. As for the stock, I think you can find a flashable zip somewhere here in the NS forum.
I'm wondering if I have to flash a specific Kernel before flashing custom roms ( CM specifically ). My device is P3110 running stock 4.1.2 . Any help will be much appreciated, thanks guys.
Edit: Does flashing the CM Rom zip file flash the newest CM kernel or should I flash it manually?

You never want to flash a kernel before flashing a rom because the rom will over write the kernel when it installs its own. If you want a custom kernel flash it right after flashing the rom.
All roms come with their own kernel.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Thanks

That's exactly what I needed to know, I have another android device ( Xperia mini pro ) and every time I need to install a custom rom, I have to flash its kernel first. Here it seems like flashing the rom via recovery also flashes the kernel. Thanks for the help appreciated.

The CM zip file has everything it needs. You just need to have a recovery ROM to be able to install CM from recovery. Additionally, you might want to reset various things from recovery before installing CM. Notice that if you reset the internal sdcard you will lose all your data (which might or might not be what you want).
