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 messages

And there is another version available:
v1.5.9:
added: Auto-reboot text clickable
added: flash verify
added: more error messages
fixed: bml blocksize detection on eclair
The 1.5.6 did not work on eclair - please update to 1.5.9.

Hi there.
Just downloaded this app, but wanted to be certain:
As you'll see with my specs in my sig, I've got Speedmod Kernel 13a and lagfix enabled, on Doc's Rom.
If I wanted to flash another kernel - maybe voodoo - I don't really know:
Would I have to disable the lagfix first and then flash the new kernel?
I've read the entire thread and have come across posts saying that it's not necessary to disable lagfixes, others say the converse.
So I'd appreciate some clarity on the matter please.
Please excuse the noobile question - still relatively new to all the tweaking and flashing

if you want to flash a kernel from an other family then you should disable all lagfix and tweaks. if you use kernel from the same family you do not often have to disable lagfix or tweaks.
the best is to ask in the tread on the kernel you wish to use.
**DamianGTO Ultimate kernel. 350MB Ram. 600HZ. all ext2. Steam Rom. Js5**
If 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.

Absolutly the best! Thank you for making kernel backing up and updating (on the fly) easy and convenient.
One request: when backing up a kernel, could you add a txtbox for the option of naming the backup file instead of just saving it as a date format?

neldar - thanks for a great app!
Easy as pie!
Backed up my speedmod, flashed voodoo advanced kernel - no problem.
Legend!

The next update will incorporate some polished gui components and one of the new features is the file name in the save dialog.

Sounds great! My only other wish would be for full nandroid backups with automatic universal lagfix disable.. oh and a million dollars would be nice too..

Hey Neldar,
how about an option to backup EFS. GrimmVarg had this in Tuxility, but i don't think he maintains it any longer.

I hope anyone can help me. A Friend of mine has a Vodafon branded I9000 Galaxy S with no 3 Button Mode. If I root with Z4Root and flash a Hardcore Kernel, have I then the 3 Button Mode, or is there any other chance to come in Recovery Mode to flash a custom Rom?
tmobile galaxy s 4g
Ive got a problem with my galaxy 2 4g.
I flashed over speedmod-kernel-k13c-500hz-CWM.zip from this site onto my phone and it did boot back up, but i lost my cell signal, and sd card etc.
I backed up my stock kernel first to the sd card.
I got wifi working again, went to market to install the kernel flasher again and it tells me there isnt enough space to install, and it doesnt see my sd card.
I can seem to figure out how to get into recovery mode to try and repair this and am very new to android general. did i just @#$% my new phone or is this fixable?
Any help would be appreciated, ive been googling for hours and find all kinds of stuff for the older galaxys, but none for my 4g.
Please help, any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

That's the correct interpretation.
If you are able to get into the recovery, you should also be able to access the sdcard and then you can flash the backup.
If that does not work you can use odin/heimdall to flash another kernel for the 4g.

How can you flash from recovery without the app?
Is there like a command line way of flashing the backed up kernel over the phone again?
Do i need to know paths to where it goes? (what is the path)

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
