[Q] Lots of confusion over kernel/recovery, Please enlighten me! - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I own an Xperia Z1(c6902 running 4.4.4), So I want to flash custom ROMS(PAC in particular) here's what I did:
1. Rooted using tr.apk
2. Backed up DRM keys
3. Unlocked bootloader
And now I don't quite know what to do exactly.
Q1. I can't see any thread to flash CWM/TWRP after unlocking bootloader?
Q2. Is recovery a part of the kernel? (If I flash doomlord will i get a custom recovery?)
Q3. If i want to unroot completely(to retain warranty) I should just flash stock kernel and relock bootloader right(Restore DRM keys)?
Also suggest me a stable recovery thread, I just want to flash custom ROMs that's all
Please answer me ASAP fellas

Recovery is in the kernel, flash a ny custom kernel for stock then flash the update.zip of your choice of rom in recovery

Hi thank you, any good kernel with stable TWRP recovery? Please post a link to thread as well

Best bet is to try them yourself, I think they are all stable enough for you to flash it for the 1-2 minutes you will have it to flash a custom rom.

You can flash any ROM that you like after you have rooted your device and installed CWM as described.

Rom is a custom firmware for your phone...
Like the OS is for a pc,custom firmwares are like OS for a phone...
and in order to install a custom rom you need to root a phone and install recovery...
so you must start off with rooting...
I would suggest you to search youtube for detailed video instructions

You need to post in Q&A.
But, you just can flash a stock ICS rom in CWM recovery OR use Odin. Go to drketan's stock ROM thread.

I dont think stock firmware can be flashed through cwmr.
@op check dr.ketan's thread for stock firmwares in note original dev section sticky, download appropriate firmware and flash using pc odin.
Suggestion- since you are on cm rom so better you flash stock gb first and then ics.
