You should look into making kernel flashing via CWM work

clic here for : FAQ

this post will be updated with the very last Questions added to FAQ about the KERNEL for quick view

4/ why flastool doesn't flash the kernel i choose? (any version)

when there are lots of kernel builds in flashtool firmware folder, flashed kernel might not be the right one,
to void this, create a folder in it, cut/paste all your previous kernel there
and only keep the one you want to flash in the firmware folder
then, start flastool and process flashing operations

Is that even possible to do for our phones? It would be awesome because we wouldn't take risks when connecting to USB, like I've experienced before.

I think you can mount the partition that holds the kernel and make CWM write to it. I hope cos my phone deserves some working. ICS after what its been through

You need kernel modifications for it - probably no changes to CWM. flash_image is the tool for flashing an image, e.g. a kernel to the specified partition. Note that there is a -close to 100%- chance of bricking your phone when you try such kernel changes, so you'd better have a JTAG solution available.

Thanks for the ROM+kernel dude! You are uber-awesome!

I can dismantle my phone so i could get to jtag header just probably not use it. Worth a try, maybe in November after my upgrade
