Hi friends..!! Basically,
you may wanted to
flash a custom kernel
on your Samsung Galaxy Y or other phone but don't have a PC to flash it via Odin; then by this method, you can flash it by CWM!


DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
KIND OF DAMAGES &
BRICKS. I can still help
you if you bricked your
phone :p


1.. Download the kernel
file to your SD Card. It
should be in *.zip or *.rar or *.7z extension.

2. Extract the file via
Root Explorer.

3. You'll get a "boot.img"
file after the extraction
is completed. This file IS the main kernel.

4. Now create a folder in your SD Card to be
shown as /clockworkmod/backup/*KERNEL NAME*. Replace ''KERNEL NAME'' to the name of the kernel you are flashing.

5. Move boot.img file you got after extraction to "/sdcard/
clockworkmod/backup/
NAME/*HERE*. (the folder you've created- in
step#4).

6. View the details of
that boot.img file. (long
tap on file>Details- on
root explorer).

7. Copy the MD SUM you
got in file details.

8. Now there, create a
file and name it as nandroid.md5 . Open
nandroid.md5 file you
have created in a TEXT
EDITOR and paste that
md5 sum you've
copied ..and save ur
nandroid.md5 file.

Now there will be 2 files
in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/NAME/*HERE*:
--BOOT.IMG
--NANDROID.MD5

make sure their is no
other file except these two (boot.img, nandroid.md5)

9. Boot in CWM recovery.

10. Mount/System.

11. Select "backup and
restores''> advanced
restore.

12. Choose ur kernel file.

13. Select restore boot> comfirm restore.

14. When restore done,
goto ADVANCED and fix
permissions.

15. Finally, click on
REBOOT SYSTEM NOW.

Phone will restart and
1st boot will take some
time..:) and the kernel
flashed :)..
