Quicky. installing latest kernel guide

Hi,
Sorry, I know this has been covered loads before but im still a little confused on the method.
Im running a great custom rom on my SGA called MindCR. I would like to be able to flash an updated custom kernel.
Im attempting to flash Rafael.Baugis. E3 Stable.
Code:
How to install Kernel with E3 Recovery (Stock):
shutdown the phone
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-XXX-boot.img.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( Select_you_rom_file.zip )
wait the end of process
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-modules.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
Do I download stock-kernel.tar ? and from the stock recovery, apply update from sdcard, choose stock-kernel?
Do I need to wipe cache afterwards?
Sorry this is so easy for most, but to me those instructions are confusing!
many thanks for your help xda
(ps,. i would of posted this in the dev section but i don't have enough posts)

A: .tar files are to be flashed in Odin
- on the phone go to download mode: keep the [+] and [-] pressed while you power on, when the menu pops out, press [+] again
- on the pc launch Odin, connect the phone with the usb cable, it should lite up a COM-x port if drivers are installed (Rafael provides those too)
- in Odin, press the PIT button, select the cooperve_0623.pit file, press the PDA button, select the 2012***E3-PDA-boot.tar file, uncheck Re-Partition. Start!
B: .zip files are to be flashed in recovery mode, no need for PC
- move the zip file to the sd card
- go to recovery mode: keep the [+] and [Home] pressed while u power on for around 8seconds, a recovery menu will pop out soon after. if it reboots you've kept the 3 buttons pressed too much time, try again.
- select browse for zip file. choose 2012***E3-boot.zip. flash it. choose 2012***E3-modules.zip. flash it. Reboot. No need to wipe anything.
Everything should be clear from Rafael's kernel post, link to files is <<< Custom Kernel and Modules >>> and you can navigate outside the default skydrive folder to find stuff like windows driver and etc.
you can navigate there upper so you will find also driver files etc.

Flashing everything

I have made a map with ADB and fastboot pre-installed with tools for flashing: recovery, system(not tested), boot. Also i have the tool to delete: system, cache and data for flashing CM or other ROMs. Also it has the tools to reboot in recovery and bootloader. I used almost every tool on my own HTC desire C, but im not responsible for any problems. I can help you if you get stuck but if your device gets bricked than its not my fault. Here is a guide how to flash CM and CWM + downloads:
How to install CWM:
1. Turn on USB Debugging (USB-foutopsporing voor nederlanders) under the developers settings (instellingen voor ontwikkelaars voor nederlanders)
2. download the recovery.img
3. put it in the folder of my tools
4. quick booting must be off (snel opstarten voor nederlanders, im from holland and i don't know what the name of that setting is) then power off your phone
5. hold down volume down button and then power button for several seconds
6. then click on fastboot > reboot bootloader >again fastboot and connect your phone to pc
7. double-click flash recovery and done!
8. there are several ways to boot into recovery but i use the volume down+power button and then recovery
IMPORTANT: Your phone must be rooted and bootloader unlocked.
How to flash CM 10.0 android 4.1.2 or other CM software
1. Download the update.zip
2. open it and copy the boot.img but don't delete it and put the copied boot.img in the folder of my tools
3. place the boot.img on the SD-Card of your phone
4. boot into recovery and install the update.zip
5. don't reboot it, get the battery out of the phone and put it back.
6. hold down volume down+power button
7. choose fastboot > reboot bootloader > and again fastboot
8. now connect your device to your PC
9. double-click flash boot and done!

Custom recovery was installed in the first step.
The pre-rooted firmware was created and copied to phone in next step.
Now you have to turn off phone.
Turn it on again and press volume up or down to enter either TWRP or CWM recovery.
Now for TWRP recovery, tap Install > scroll all the way to bottom and select the copied pre-rooted firmware.zip file.
After selecting the file, swipe finger from left to right on the bottom to flash.
Once flashed, reboot your device and you will have pre-rooted 10.7.A.0.222 Lollipop firmware.
For CWM, select Install Zip > Choose Zip from SD card > locate pre-rooted firmware.zip file > select yes to flash.
Once flashed, reboot your phone and you will have 10.7.A.0.222 rooted Lollipop firmware.
Now verify root access using an app like Root Checker.
That’s all.:good::good::good::good::good:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download any of the custom ROM's available ie CM 12.1, Resurrection Remix etc... Then search and download ADB/fastboot tool.. (it's the fastboot tool you'll be using)
Extract the ADB/fastboot tool to your C drive on your comp.
Open the downloaded ROM zip and extract the boot.img to the ADB/fastboot folder in C (try to find a boot.img that contains TWRP recovery.. The CM recovery is not good)
Place the ROM zip to your ext/int SD-card in your phone
Back up your data using nand-droid/Titanium etc
Search and find Gapps (flashable zip) for LP 5.1.1 and place in ext/int sd-card
Search and find Supersu (flashable zip.. most custom ROM's are kind of half rooted and need the supersu app to be installed) and place in your ext/int Sd-card
Power off your phone
Hold the VOL-UP button and connect your phone to your pc while holding the VOL-UP button.. You'll see first a red LED and then it turns to blue... you're now in fastboot mode
in the folder containing ADB/fastboot and your boot.img, place the cursor on an empty spot, press shift+right-click and in the pop-up, select "open command window here"
In the black screen, type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and press enter.. (it will take less than 2 seconds to complete)
then type "fastboot reboot" and press enter... your phone will now reboot.
when you see the sony splash screen the LED will change color to green or pink... press VOL-UP on your phone while the LED is green/pink... hold the button and you'll see recovery come up..
In recovery, wipe cache, data, system and dalvik...
go back to main menu and press install.. navigate to where you have the ROM, Gapps and supersu and install all..
once done, reboot your phone.. (the first boot will take some time)
thats it, you're done.. You'll now have a rooted phone with recovery installed.
