I want to upgrade to 4.2.2 rom but I have few questions first:
1. I know that I need to install CF-ROOT first, does THIS one feat for me?
2. after I install the CF-ROOT I can flash with the regular instructions right?
(Wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache , Advanced-> Wipe dalvik cache,Install zip from sd card -> Choose Zip from SD card and choose the ROM)
Thanks,.

Yes,
as a general rule please follow the opening post of the thread (f.i. Cyanogenmod 10.1).

Thanks popho but in 10.1 say:
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

Anyhow, what I want to know which kernel should I use from THIS thread to root & install CWM - I can't find there "JVG" version
Thanks.

...

First download the 4.2.2 rom that u choose and copy the .zip on the sdcard in the phone then flash semaphore kernel with Odin and you have root and CWM.
How to do that :
Download the tar file containing the kernel from here.
Start Odin application
Select the tar file as PDA (do NOT select Re-Partition)
Put the phone in download mode
Connect your phone through USB to your PC and wait for the ID:COM to become yellow
Press start button
Then pres volume up+home button+power button to enter CWM recovery
From there erase everything and install i guess CM 10.1 it's ok.
I hope it helps!

[GUIDE] How to get back the stock kernel of Nexus 5 (LMY47I)

Hi everybody,
This is my second post at XDA and as an answer to my first post (List of Lollipop 5.1 custom kernels for the Nexus 5) This post guides you how get back the stock kernel (LMY47I).
Always remember: You flash at your own risk! This post is only for the Lollipop build LMY47I!
There are two ways to get the stock kernel back, the first with a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM and the second with FASTBOOT (UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER is imortant)
1. Download the STOCK-KERNEL.ZIP in the attachments and extract it (for example with WINRAR or 7-ZIP). Then you have two files. The only one you need is the Kernel.zip file! Copy it to your phone, then switch to the custom recovery navigate to the Kernel.zip file and flash it. Now reboot the phone. The stock kernel was succesfully flashed.
2. Download the STOCK-KERNEL.ZIP in the attachments and extract it (for example with WINRAR or 7-ZIP). Then you have two files. The only one you need is the boot.img! If you haven't downloaded the Android SDK yet download it now! Switch to folder where you installed the SDK and navigate to "platform-tools". Copy the boot.img file into it. Now reboot your phone into FASTBOOT (Bootloader) with POWER Button + VOLUME DOWN and connect your phone to your PC wait until the drivers are installed if you get an error install the latest Google drivers. Open CMD navigate to "platform-tools" and type: "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Reboot your Phone and disconnect the USB-Cable. The stock kernel was succesfully flashed.
Error
Can't flash the zip, says "Unable to execute"

What is the name of the .zip that you tried to flash?
some custom kernels also modify/replace other files in the system partition, so is flashing just boot.img enough to return to stock kernel then?

Nope. So this thread is kinda pointless. You need to reflash your rom after hellscore, code blue, elementalx and probably franco (not used franco since kitkat)
From hells thread -

Hello! I followed the instructions below but the process got stuck at "<ID:0/006> boot.bin". After it was stuck like that for about 30 minutes I pulled the plug.
Now I have a completely black screen and can't boot into dl or rec mode..
Please help?

Use Odin3 Version 1.7 to 1.83 ( meant for Galaxy S1 series (attached below)
Attached below 3 i9000 PIT files ( use 512 only for re-partition ) or 512 PIT
i9000 JVU ROM with i9000 JVU CF ROOT Kernel download and unzip
FIRST ensure your phone (i9000) has more than 80% battery charge before attempting to Flash.
Procedure:
1. Fire up Odin3 on your PC and ensure KIES is not running on your PC by killing (Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe) using Task Manager
2. Put the phone to the Download Mode by pressing (VolumeDown+Home+Power) buttons and connect the phone to your PC (your phone should be recognized)
3. Select PDA > CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
4. Select PHONE > MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5
5. Select CSC > GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5
6. Select PIT > 512 PIT (If 'Re-Partition' is not checked under 'Option', check it)
7. Press the Start button Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot
After which you repeat steps one and two (to flash the kernel for root and CWM recovery)
3. now select PDA > CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS
4. press Start Button. Do not press anything else or interrupt it, wait for flashing process to complete and phone will reboot
That's it, now you have a perfect Phone, rooted and having CWM recovery, ideal starting point for upgrading to ICS and after that to Jelly Bean custom ROM's
Any problems you may have after doing this, just look here for the solution to that particular problem.
As explained earlier (about clean flashing) if your phone reboots into recovery with some errors appearing in red after flashing the JVU ROM

it may be resolved by flashing dbdata.rfs (attached below) as PDA in Odin3 to remove the junk data files.Using Heimdall to flash
You can do the same process using heimdall instead of Odin3 too, to use heimdall one click you can download i9000 Rescue kit and flash. or use [GUIDE] Flashing with Heimdall​

Downloads
TWRP For P10 lite: HERE
ADB & Fastboot: HERE
The first step is to make a backup.
2. Download your Treble ROM, i recommend a GSI ROM.
In my case I'll be using Havoc-OS
Download: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development/rom-havoc-os-8-1-t3819050
3. Go into TWRP and do a FACTORY RESET and then reboot into fastboot.
4. The only thing you need to do now is flash the ROM, so get your downloaded ROM & extract the .img file from it (if there is no .img file and you see other files, flash via twrp).
On your PC open the fastboot command prompt and type
fastboot -u flash system <YourImageFileHere>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After just type : "fastboot reboot" and wait until your phone boots into the system. You may need to flash google apps afterwards.
It is normal for the phone to reboot a couple times so be patient.
Congratz, your phone is not running a treble ROM with your stock ROM's vendor.

I just need backup Boot, System and data if i want go back to stock?
Bad idea to factory reset with TWRP, it doesn't do it clean enough.
You could get in serious problems by doing it, such as random apps crashing, sd unmounting and worse.
Safer option is to factory reset and wipe cache with stock recovery after every system flash.
I'm telling this from my own experience, I don't want people to mess up like I did :highfive:

Yes that should be enough, vendor stays the same anyway.. I recommend flashing roms designed for kirins cpus btw because there is a higher chance it will work

When I try to flash a custom ROM I always end up with this, and the device only boots to TWRP Recovery

What could be the cause?

Xiaomi protect their device from custom rom or custom recovery and some time device go to hardbrick and stock on fastboot mode
So every time you want to install a custom rom after successful to install(dirty flash better) the rom first go beck to twrp menu and format system and dalvik cache then go to install>install image>select twrp img file>install
Then go to reboot>reboot to recovery
Then reboot to system
I don't have your device. But that list of files/folders with random letters means your internal storage/data partition is encrypted. You need to go to "repair filesystem" menu in twrp and reformat it to another type and back to ext4. Or use "format Data" menu. All your data will be wiped.
Don't take my word for it. Google "how to decrypt device in TWRP" and learn about it.
Ps: @moh4556 your answer is correct but it's not format system and dalvik, it's wipe system/dalvik/data menu. It will delete those partitions but for data it leaves /data/media (your internal sdcard) alone. It's sometimes not enough when moving from stock to custom rom.
Hope this helps
weird, i was pretty sure i replied to this thread
strange characters in roms mean you havent formatted data most of the time. once you answer yes you lose your entire data (and locking mechanisms which scrambles names) altogether
for the most part, installing roms follow the same steps
format (not wipe) data
wipe system, vendor, dalv and cache
flash stuff
wipe dalv and cache again

not entirely true. it is highly recd to install the vbmeta patch for redmi8. im lucky and havent required it.
newer miui does make it a pain to install custom recovs directly, hence the 3.6 update included an advanced install option
older miuis arent that protected and only require a reboot to recov after installing the custom recov
also a bit offtop but whatev
