There is a link to download a flashable stock kernel (extracted by Michelasso from the XILG1 firmware) in this forum...you can search in the Cor Optimi thread for it..i think it's in the first page.

Once you have the file PDA_blablabla.tar.md5 made with splitfus or Odinatrix you can untar it with

tar -xvf PDA_blablabla.tar.md5

One of the files will be boot.img. That's the kernel image for you..

Okay, wrong extension, my mean .tar.md5 so i can use/flash it via odin in .pda box

Thank you all, nice to join here

Just extract the original rom into a directory and with splitfus2 use this command line to extract only the kernel image from it.

./splitfus2 -k romfilename.tar.md5

Obviously you should have linux or cygwin under windows

Will check myself this morning. If I encounter the same issue, it's better to ask the author on the xda forum.

It works on my side, I suggest you to download the same package from sammobile.com and to keep the same filename while extracting.
