Restore original kernel

[hatt]

Hi
I flashed the new kernel to my spica, fw XXIJ6. Now I would like to flash back the original kernel. How do I do this?
The only thing I have got is a 150 Mb dump of /dev/bml5. Can the original kernel be extracted from there, or does anyone have have that kernel?

thank

For restore original kernel you need /dev/bml4, but I suppose in your case you can use original kernel from any fw (imho)

Kernel (zImage) in /dev/bml4
/dev/bml5 - /system (factoryfs.rfs)

if you have original package firmware XXIJ6, you can extract zImage and flash it alone

Does anyone have /dev/bml4 (zImage) from XXIJ6, or newer XX?
Please upload.

Why XX?

Dont know, just wanted to make it original with unmodified kernel. Newer kernel, yet unmodified is fine with me. Other suggestions?

then just look for the phone with the necessary firmware and make the dump

I have a dump ( /dev/dml4). How do I make a zImage from that? And do I just put the zImage into a tar and upload it with Odin?

You can:
- rename bml4 -> zImage
- pack in tar
- run Odin and open this tar as PDA archive and flash it

If size of of this zImage will be more than partition size, Odin show error
If Spica can't boot, you can flash true zImage (original or my)

[hatt]

Odin shows error, zImage too big. Need more HELP: where can I find true original zImage?
