Default Infuse 4G Kernel

I've pulled the kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher.

The file is attached for anyone who runs into issues.

The format is a standard update.zip file, assuming you can get to /sdcard place it there and reboot into recovery.

nice, love that app! didnt try that yet, figured it wouldnt work. thanks there is someone who posted in the captivate section after doing somethin stupid that can use this. is this .zip signed? or does 3e recovery need to be modded?

also i .tar'd it for odin use but having trouble attaching it.

edit: i got it attached but i wont flash it till there is a good stock rom for backup. anyone that flahes this please report the results it is as of now untested.

I tried moving the contents into a .tar and flashing in Odin as well as moving just the zImage into a .tar and flashing... Neither works to save me.
I feel like this is a brick that just doesn't want to go away!

There were two, actually. One of them returned their phone, and I PMed the other.

I've never used SGS Kernel Flasher, all it says in the app is:
"Choose Kernel"
"Flash Kernel"
and "Reboot after Flash"

I'm guessing it doesn't need any mod, but won't know until we try. I'm not really eager to try until I have to

Have you tried just:

1. renaming the zip to update.zip
2. putting in /sdcard
3. booting into recovery
4. reinstall...
Then again if you can't get into your phone, how can you get it into /sdcard...

Anyone have any ideas?

When I try with all contents, I get:

And when I do just the zImage, it shows this and hangs there:

However, when I try flashing the .tar with the Captivate kernel I stupidly tried out, it flashes in seconds, no problem. Only thing is, it hangs on the boot screen.

i bricked mine too, played dumb. got a new one. too bad there was no rom dump available, well i found a system dump. it could be made into a factoryfs.rfs if needed, ill post that link in a new thread. but there were no csc or data or dbdata. it may be enough to build a rom from though. im not sure how to dump the other parts you would need.

warning do not try the "dump" feature in odin. it doesnt work. it may result in a soft brick but untill there is a flashable rom that's as good as a hard brick.

you didnt try any pit or repartition did you? that would not be a good idea as we dont know if the partition mappins is even close to a galaxy s.

try my attached one, i figure there is no harm in you trying it now.
