Root SGS Kernel Flasher - advice... stop me from going insane ! ;)

[enigma83]

Hey all

Ive posted under the general section but prob.should post here.
Im trying to flash custom rom ( Darkys ) i downloaded Rom Manager Pro but found out because im on Froyo i need 2e recovery for it to work.

Having investigated further i also learnt that i can flash a kernel like cf root and get 2e recovery on that.

SO... after this i downloaded a cf root kernel from XDA. I downloaded SGS kernel flasher from the market ( i dont have access to a pc with Odin ) and i keep getting this error:

help me sort this out.. pretty please?

Ask the person who made this app. I didn't even know this exists.

I wanted to but I have only posted once on xda so it wont let me post on developers threads... Dont want to attack the guy via pm either..im guessing he gets that often

I used Odin to flash the recovery kernel.

Theres a very good guide here [21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat! - xda-developers

All went without a hitch (coming from stock 2.2 rooted)

I know you already said you do not have access to Odin. I encountered a similar problem as I cannot root using z4root/OCLF. I had to find a PC with ODIN and rooted there. I think ODIN solves a lot of rooting problems with newer firmware (2.2.1). So, I would really recommend going through the ODIN way to root. After that, everything becomes a breeze. ODIN is not a big file at all so maybe you can borrow a friend's PC? Or if you are using a Mac like me, dual boot to Windows.

Sorry, for now, there is no ODIN for Mac yet..

There's this program that's an alternative to Odin. Called Hemezdall smth like that.

Watch this thread.
