Hey peeps, I'm running slapnuts v1.4 rom on a d2vzw gs3 vrucml1 baseband. The rom is supposed to be running with Lean Kernel v4.0 but for some reason I am stuck with the stock kernel. I have also tried flashing Lean Kernel by itself but with no success, actually whenever I flash it I just end up losing wifi and having to flash the ml1 modules back. I could use some help here, thanks!
Another thing that I could use some clarification on, Safestrap directs users to install the kernel modules after flashing a rom (otherwise we would be without working wifi). The problem I'm seeing here though is whenever a kernel is flashed, wifi is no longer working, in other words, the module is gone and has to be re-flashed which I am assuming (only because I've been unable to get a kernel up and running) would remove the kernel all over again and visa versa.
Am I just doing something wrong or does it seem that something is broken here?

You cannot flash a custom kernel on TouchWiz 4.3+. You must use the stock kernel. That's the way that Safestrap works on the S3 given the limitations created by Samsung.

So i flashed djo5 modem, djo5 custom rom, non voodoo kernel and stupid fast custom kernel. Everthing downloaded correctly; however, when I look at the about phone section the kernel version still says 2.6.29. is it supposed to say stupidfast, how do I confirm that the kernel is loaded correctly? Thanks
I just got my new phone and have rooted it (i did have CM7 on it but im on stock atm again.)
What my problem is whenever i load any custom kernel, wi fi just breaks.
Ill go to wireless settings, click the check box, then it just says 'error'
anyone heard of this?

When you load the kernel are you flashing the zimage manually or using a packaged update.zip that includes the wifi module for that kernel?
all im doing is using flashboot to flash the .img.
no idea how to flash it properly, could use your help

Are you building the kernel and boot image yourself or pulling them from somewhere?
I just downloaded netarchys 1.2.4 cfs, and extracted the .img and fastbooted it onto the phone.
What i think you're saying is that this is not the correct method to flash the kernel because the other folders are not being put on to the phone (hence broken wi fi)
If thats the case just need help to flash the kernel properly

Ah, indeed
So, that zip is meant to be applied via a custom recovery (CWM). It will flash not only the boot image, but also copy the newly build kernel modules, create a custom /etc/init.d and install busybox.
By flashing just the boot image you are missing the rebuilt modules and the custom init.d (which mounts /data with noauto_da_alloc, etc and sets windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=72 for better scolling performance. As a result of not having the rebuilt kernel modules when the network module tries to load (bcm4329.ko) the version number won't match the kernel and it will fail to load. If you check dmesg you'll see it complaining
Flash this via a custom recovery and you should be fine (just place the entire zip on your device and then chose it from CWM).
right, thanks that clears that up.
however, i have another problem now!
Basically i flashed the netarchy kernel, realized i had no wifi, did a factory reset thinking ill get back to stock, however im stuck with this netarchy kernel AND ive lost CWM.
3G is being a pain and not downloading properly etc.
Is there any way for me to reset and just flash CM7 and Netarchy 1.2.4
im outta ideas :/ thanks for the help!

When you reboot on a stock rom there is a script that checks recovery and if it is not stock it will reflash the stock recovery. This is an easy fix though. If you want to stay on stock you can flash CWM through fastboot, flash the SU binary and then rename/delete the script (/etc/install-recovery.sh or something like that).
If you want to just flash CM7 then just download the full zip and place it on the phone. Flash CWM through fastboot, boot into recovery and flash CM7 as desired (RC or nightlies). Then go ahead and apply the appropriate netarchy kernel - there's a separate version for CM IIRC. Make sure you do a full wipe before you flash CM7.
Ok so im downloading rom manager onto my phone, downloading CM7 on pc, then will transfer to phone (whole zip right?) then i just reboot in recovery, wipe and flash CM7, and THEN start on the kernel lol
Ok thanks ill keep ya updated really appreciate it
edit
Thanks a lot booted and rooted running CM7 and Netarchy
Im on synergy v1.3 and if i want to go back to stock do i only flash the stock rom in pda??? on the android development section for this phone they have a direct download and a kernel download ..will i need to flash the kernel download too? im not using a custom kernel(i dont think synergy has one yet). There is nothing wrong with my phone but just in case something goes wrong i need to know what to do.

Yes, all you need to do is download the stock verizon rom for this phone onto your computer and Odin back to stock using PDA. Only use the PDA section in Odin. If you didn't change kernels then you don't need to flash the kernel, because the kernel is already the stock one. You can use custom kernels on Synergy. I'm using a custom kernel on synergy 1.3. What I did was downloaded the verizon ez recovery app from the play store, give it root permissions when you open it. Included in that ex recovery is a few different recoveries including CWM and TWRP and invisibleks v2 kernel. You can flash a kernel using that program. You simply just select the kernel and hit flash and then reboot recovery. The only downside is that when you flash a kernel you lose your recovery. But since you have the easy recovery, you just flash a recovery and you'll get a recovery back. Its really simple and awesome! I'm using Imoseyons Lean kernel v12 and it allows over clocking to 1.9! And under locking as well. I'm getting phenomenal battery life.

It shouldn't matter if you have a flashed a custom Kernel. Just Odin the stock ROM
Also if you want to go completely back I believe you will also need to flash the stock recovery and possible the flash counter.
I recently rooted my galaxy sl using amit bagaria's universal cf root. After rebooting, the wifi wasn't switching on (it gave me an error message). So I googled it an found a solution. I flashed the bam kernel v14 (google it) and the wifi is working properly. Now, apparently the bam kernel v14 is not compatible with cm and i cannot flash any cm rom. Is that how it is supposed to be? How can i fix this? Thanks for all the help

The wifi problem is because you were on a value pack for 2.3.6, and if you root the device you can't use wifi unles you use bam kernel.
About CM, every ROM includes it's own kernel, so if you flash Dhiru's CM10 for example, this will come with it's own kernel and will install it automatically when you install the ROM. There are kernels for each Rom, so beware when you install a kernel on your Rom, first check if it's compatible. I think that's what you read about bam kernel, that is only compatible with Gingerbread.
PS: Please be more specific on the title next time

Alright.....now for example I want to flash Dhiru's CM10, how do I go about doing it? The normal way....with Odin? Just flash it PDA??

No, you have to flash it using CWM. Please follow the installation instructions given in CM10 from dhiru:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868074
You are on stock rom, so follow the stock rom steps. You can skip the root step if you already rooted it.
As an advice, I suggest you make a /efs folder backup. This folder from your phone keeps a lot of information about it. I had some problems with 3g and stuff, and recovering it helped me. Before doing anything please read some threads about flashing this device.
Good luck!
I rooted my TMo note 5.
I flash the Noble root kernel and it works fine but if I flash the other updated rooted kernel my soft buttons break.
How would I go about fixing that.
I flashed stock. It didn't flash a kernel when I flashed it so I had to flash that Noble kernel for the phone to reboot.
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I flashed the right recovery and everything.

The reason your soft keys are not working properly is that you downloaded and
flashed the WRONG rooted kernel for your phone's model.
If you have a N920T phone you need to use the specific N920T rooted kernel.
I would highly suggest to use the Arter97 N920T rooted kernel, it always works
flawlessly.
Here is a link to the Arter97 kernels in case you need it:

Im pretty sure im a idiot and am flashing the Edge Plus kernel since i had one before but yeah. But i have a stock kernel right now that is modified so its working fine for me but i think i was flashing the Edge Plus kernel instead of the note.
lol. i feel like an idiot right now.
