Hello, thanks in advance for your future help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 hlte and I was looking to build and flash a official kernel (from opensource.samsung.com) on my device.
So I built the kernel with no error and it is resulting of course with a zImage, next step was to flash on my device so I re-created a new boot.img (by extracting my current ramdisk etc and using it with my fresh kernel) (thanks to abootimg).
But I can't go in "normal boot" with that new boot image, I have to reflash my old boot.img if I want to use my phone.
So I suppose I don't understand something, do you guys have some idea of what I'am not doing good ? I Just want to be able to use the kernel I compiled before.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all, I've searched and can't find an answer to this, I would like to be able to flash a stock kernel without having to flash a complete ROM, at the moment I've got the latest OTA from Asus which I've rooted and put CWM on - all is very stable and I'm happy with it. However I like to experiment with custom Kernels , my point is, where can i find a stock Asus kernel (blob or zip I don't mind ) that I can flash using CWM or dd etc... ? My current build is 9.2.1.24 with kernel 2.6.39.4 [email protected]#1
Many thanks

It's better to backup the whole ROM since most kernels come with their own modules and/or libraries. Backing up only kernel and restore it may cause some issues e.g. Wi-fi not working etc.
Ok, thanks for that
I want to install ElementalX kernel and CleanRom JL. Since the kernel also supports hboot 1.4, i'm not sure what should be the order of installation?
1. Flash kernel along with boot.img. Then flash custom rom on the phone
2. Flash just the kernel and skip boot.img installation. Then push the boot.img separately and flash custom rom
3. Push the boot.img separately and flash custom rom. Then, flash the kernel without boot.img support.
Can somebody help me out here. Thanks in advance.
Flash clean Rom then elemental
Hi guys,
I wish to install SamHD V2.1 which is recently been released by Kumar Abhishek, but this time he has not integrated the boot.img in the zip itself but just posted the ramdisk to make updated boot.img from boot.img of stock ROM.
I am not too comfortable in using SP Flash Tool as its driver always give me trouble, now my question is:
I have made my own updated boot.img using Android Kitchen now can I just integrate the boot.img in the SamHDv2.zip and flash my device like we use to do it with the older version of the Custom ROMs, is it safe to flash like this?
Secondly, would I be able to boot my device properly after flashing SamHDv2.zip and Gapps.zip (without flashing boot.img with SP Flash Tool)?
I am asking so if it boot properly can I use MobileUncle to flash updated boot.img?
I think if I integrate updated boot.img in the SamHDv2.zip it should work fine after we used to flash in this fashion earlier also but I got to be damn sure before I go ahead.
Please guys guide me I am a newbie.
Hi
Since the CM version of Aero isn't available as a single zip, I was wondering whether somebody is using Aero Kernel from Quarx's CM11 on other AOSP custom ROMs.
Do I just need to take the boot.img or do I need other files, too? For example Phantom Kernel also has Wifi files included
Edit:
Ok, I extracted the boot.img and flashed it using Flashify, but Wifi didn't work. So there is indeed something missing
So the situation currently is that I have flashed CM 13 to my Galaxy S4 Mini and I also flashed a custom kernel (from a different person) after. I am experiencing some multi-touch issues when using the antutu multitouch test. I wanted to see if it was the kernel that was causing it and if the stock kernel would fix the issue, however, to do this I need the original stock CM 13 kernel but I don't know where I can find the zip file to flash it. Can anyone help out?
Please and thanks!!
EDIT: Never mind I've figured it out. If anyone is in the same boat, simply extract the boot.img from your CM13 ROM zip file (this is the image file which contains the respective kernel) and use Flashify (requires root) to flash your stock CM13 kernel that you just extracted from your ROM zip file.
