Any certain program to flash this? I used cwm and it acted like it installed but my phone booted like I did nothing.

It Did nothing because you probably just replaced the same kernel with itself...
Also you didn't see "android optimizing apps....." because there wasn't a cache & dalvik cache wipe command in the updater-script...
you would have to do that yourself.....

EDIT: I can upload one with wipes in the script if you'd like...

THANK YOU!!!! I uploaded the Sprint Kernel and lost 4g. I really wanna test this with Synergy to see if we can get the camera back working. if these two play nice together, I'm going to be one happy camper.

I'll have to come back after my paycheck deposits and remember to donate. thanks OP!

Any chance flashing this will reset the flash count in DL mode to "0"?

If not will the triangle away app work on the VM S3?

Can this be installed using ODIN? I've inadvertently installed a Sprint firmware on my Virgin Mobile phone and I'm trying to get back to where I was. Will this get me working again?

It was the old kernel anyways. You can download the ndc stock rom. It has the kernel in it. Just open the zip and extract the boot.img. boot is kernel. Then just install it with the app flashify from the play store.
Get the stock rom here
