Could you give me a link to that file you tried to flash, please?
I would like to check that.
That is on the way - next update.

Hi Neldar,
Thanks for the feedback. I had some other issues with my rooting and those are fixed now. Apparently my device was not correctly rooted. Now the kernel flasher is working perfectly fine as well.
Regards,
Pierreken
Sometimes the recovery is still working - if the boot hangs at bootscreen, than is the recovery mostly working.
And an other update for the app:
v1.3.2:
added: update.zip backup
added: bmlwriter with verify
fixed: log auto-scroll
improved: gui responsiveness
I still need some mount listings, if you have a working adb, please run this: "adb shell mount > mount-listing.txt" and attach the mount-listing.txt to a post in this thread. That will help me to improve the lagfix detection. Thanks in advance.

I tried SO_zImage_opt_ext_root_V4_5_1.zip
Log said failed to verify flash.
Rebooted phone, and now its stuck on the Galaxy S screen. Will be booting into clockwork to try something else
The log should have shown: Flash verify failed! - Try again!
That means you should try again or the kernel is not completely flashed.
I see - i have to change that...
Hmm, you are right it does show verify failed - my mistake - i found a typo...
You should use odin or heimdall to recover.
it is some i9000 kernel reoriented by setiron for captivate, sadly the 1.54XT verrsion is not hosted anymore by setiron so here is the upload
its a flashable cwm zip file and everything went well , except when I cliked reboot
IT IS A CAPTIVATE KERNEL ..
And once more an update:
v1.4.2:
added: buttons disable and show circular progress while install/backup task is running
improved: bmlwriter
improved: lagfix detection
After 6 hours of testing i can now say it is rock stable.
I improved the bmlwriter and fixed a serious bug in the code: a major design flaw.
(not caused by me - do not always rely on work done by others, even if you trust them...)
The occasional reports about failed kernel flashes should belong now to the past - only if you seriously try to make it fail, it will fail (for example pull the battery while it flashes...).
Happy flashing.

lagfix detected
Hi
I am on stock rom xwjpa. It has been rooted, but never installed a lagfix. Still kernel flasher tells me that a lagfix is detected. A bit strange isn't it? May it be so that it detects that I have apps installed that are able to do a lagfix on my SGS?

44This application *requires* root.
This app can flash a kernel within android on Samsung i9000, Captivate, Fascinate, Vibrant and more.
Features:
* backup kernel as update.zip (for recovery)
* flash kernel from zImage, any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage
* reboot
Usage:
backup kernel: creates an update.zip (for recovery) containing a backup of the current kernel with time and date in /sdcard/sgs-kernel-flasher/backup/
choose kernel: choose kernel image (mostly named zImage) or any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage
flash kernel: flashes the kernel
reboot: reboot the phone
Android market: SGS kernel flasher
DISCLAIMER:
The author of this app is not responsible for any damage to your phone that may be caused by usage of this app or by deficient kernel images.3I have updated the app one more time:
v1.2.1:
added: PDA.tar and update.zip file support
added: choose file starts in /sdcard/sgs-kernel-flasher/
added: lagfix detection and warning
That means you can now select any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage and the app will automatically extract and flash that zImage.
Major break through for easy kernel flashing on i9000, Captivate, Fascinate and Vibrant- please propagate this awesome news.
Btw. the app is now on market.3
If the kernel dev does not say anything about the update process, you are supposed to flash the new kernel.
Btw: new version available:
v1.5.6:
added: java implementation of tar
added: proper detection of supported flashtypes (only bml, at the moment)
added: more detailed error messages2If you're going to flash a kernel which can also read & write ext4, you're safe. So if you want to move from speedmod to voodoo, or vice versa, there is no need to undo lagfix first. But if you want to revert to the original kernel for example, which can NOT read ext4, ext3, ext2 or jfs, then you need to undo the lagfix first and restore the rfs filesystem. If you accidentally mess up, you can always use odin to flash back your previous kernel (make sure you can access download mode). Hope this is helpful.
J.
