[Q] Flashing Kernel

---

Hi, I have rooted my tab ,no problem. But I read all the posts about EXT4 and kernel flashing needed for flashing roms, but I cannot find a definitive guide on how to flash the kernel using odin or EXT4.
Can anyone help with a small , simple guide on how to do this please?
I've been looking for hours and darent try it without knowing fully how.
Thanks

Seen that post , but it doesnt say what to do with odin? As in where to load the .tar file etc.

You flash the Modaco kernel via Odin, if your file system isn't ext4 (which it won't be then you may need to manually reboot your phone - My phone still rebooted automatically coming from a rfs file system)

Once your phone reboots it should enter recovery automatically and you just sit back and let CWM backup / covert your file system to ext4 / restore your rom back on to your coverted file system
(I believe there are instance also when you phone does not automatically enter recovery on reboot, in this situation you will need to manually enter recover after flashing the kernel in Odin - to do this you hold down the power button and volume up)


Another thing worth noting, i had encountered an issue during the conversion process where CWM was not able to restore my existing rom, when this happens you can download a ext4 rom (i.e. modaco rom or overcome 1.1.3) and flash the file via CWM - i.e. you can leave the kernel and try another Rom.

Hope this helps.

thanks bendjlee, but how do I use odin? (where to put .tar file which mode should tab be in etc..).

This is what I get, doesnt work. Should I be in recovery or the phone in normal mode?

I also had "fail" in red in the left had box of odin, my tab is rooted and clockwork mod installed. What is wrong?

You'll need to put your tab to download mode first before connecting to your computer to odin. Turn on the tab with "volume down" held
