Hi,
I have stock ROM (ANDROID VERSION UP TO DATE) and stock kernal, and I want to change it. So my question are do I need to flash custom kernal first then flash custom ROM or other way around?
Just read the op of the Rom, normally your dev gives instructions.
But in most cases first flash the recommend kernel via flashtool, after that your Rom.

My friend have the p970, and he talk me to install a custom rom for he, but any rom need custom kernel. In my xperia x8, to install a custom kernel, need a uncloked bootloader and a flash process in pc. But i see a video showing a instalation of cm10 on p970, without flashing a new kernel with other program, but the kernel change just with a zip instalation.
How can i install cm10 for p970 without unklocking bootloader? Im cofused.

Installing a rom on P970 its a pretty simple.
You just need root and recovery... to install a rom just do a full wipe and then install the .zip, search on general section about how to make root.
Just this? Isnt necessary to unclock bootloader to flash cm10 and flash a kernel with a program?
Sorry for noob question and bad english

Nope, because our bootloader is unlocked. Kernel comes with the flashable .zip file, so no need for additionally flashing anything after

You can flash custom ROM with stock recovery.
Hi
If back up my stock rooted rom flash cm10 based PA can I return to back up without flashing new kernel?
If not what kernel would I flash to go back to stock rooted backup?
Thanks

Depends if your backup includes the boot.
If it does then yes, if not then no
But its not a problem, if your backup does not include the kernel then just flash the kernel you are on now...you know which one you are on,
I guess I am on stock as its the rooted stock rom I am on, where do I find just the kernel?

Just flash a stock ftf and exclude everyting except the kernel...I have one backed up somewhere, but not here...I can post it another time, but you can just do what i said.
Also, look in yout backup file. If it includes a boot.img you should be fine to flash that recovery image and it should restore the kernel

thats a link to a stock kernel, its not mine, but it says its stock unmodified...
I recently installed cocore kernel and flashed a custom Rom without backing up the stock Rom. now I want to revert back to stock Rom. where can I find the stock Rom? I don't want the stock kernel. I want the stock Rom.
thank you.
Download it on sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. Unfortunately you will lose everything on your phone and will have to root it again and reinstall CoCore kernel.
Or, you can try to flash a deodex rom (there are links on Frapeti's thread) using CWM recovery.
Good luck!

I want to flash one of the Maclaw's Custom Roms.
I saw there were download links for Odin. So I thought I don't need Clockworkmod Recovery.
Does it mean I don't need to flash Rooted Stock Firmware before flashing CM with Odin?
You don't need a rooted device for flash CM because CM is after flash already rooted
