Flashing stock firmware includes the stock kernel right?
Was reading the N910T3 root guide and was surprised that root requires a custom kernel.
I'm assuming the previous kernel link is the stock kernel but since this is my daily driver, I want to make sure lol

Could someone please tell me where I could find the frf91 stock kernel. I've tried other kernels but would like to flash back to stock. One more thing, I switched kernels when I originally rooted, so will the stock kernel even work on stock frf91 with root? Thanks
Hi. I have my SGSII which is really easy to modify and install firmwares and ROMs, but my fathers X8 is messed up. All I could find is ROMs but not firmwares for download. I can't install 2.3 ROM on 2.1 fw, right?; At least not on SGSII, so where can I dl GB firmware?
Maybe I'm stupid, but what's the difference between ROM and firmware? SE doesn't support x8 any more and left xperia owners with official Eclair 2.1 ROM, so all You are able to do is root Your father device, install recovery and flash a ZIP file which include GB 2.3 ROM for stock kernel (Like GingerDx f. eg.).... OR unlock bootloader (if You can of course, manufacture date here is important), flash custom kernel and than flash custom ROM (like GB MiniCM7 or iCS MiniCM9).
Well while I was reading on SGSII subforum tips I saw that you cannot flash ICS rom on Android 2.3, you have to install first ICS firmware, then flash ICS ROM.
Thanks I will try flashing GB ROM.
Hello
Just upgraded to a Note II and have sold my Note 1. The new owner wants stock rom, root and unlocked bootloader. Is there any guide for reverting? I could probably just flash a stock rom trough CWM?
I'm just a little concerned about the earlier problems with breaking the storage part on the phone.
you can use odin to flash a stock rom.
use this tutorial

i'm trying to do the latest ota update (6.09.401.5) to take me to 4.4.3 but it fails with com.htc.android.home.res.apk.
i think this is due to custom Kernel, using kangaroo currently.
Is this to do with the kernel 'm using, kangaroo ? If so is there a kernel it will work with or can someone tell me where i can find stock kernel ?
thanks

if a custom kernel has made change to your system, flashing back stock kernel will not revert the files back to stock. reset your phone back to stock and then you'll be able to do the ota. (stock recovery + untouched system files).
There is probably a nandroid backup somewhere on this forum or a stock odex rom you could use to reset your phone back to stock (5.11.401.10 I think)
edit: there is a stock odex 5.11.401.10 rom here: http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_5.11.401.10_odexed.zip
and stock 5.11.401.10 recovery: http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Flash_recovery_5.11.401.10.rar
ok thanks, flashed arhd 81.0. Waited long enough to flash a different rom - this was the excuse i needed !
Hi, I am currently use SOKP (5.1.1) rom on my t mobile note 4. My baseband is still COD6 (I guess bootloader should be in the same version as baseband). My TWRP is still 2.8.0.X.
I want to switch to Touchwiz based custom rom. In the meanwhile, I think I need to update the baseband (bootloader and etc) and TWRP for a smooth experience.
Can anyone advise an approach to do it? I am thinking to flash the latest original N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_TMB.zip rom via odin. Can anyone post a link to the instruction? I want to make sure what I do via odin is correct.
I assume this flash will automatically update bootloader and baseband to the latest version. and I need to re-root and update TWRP per the instruction here before flash the TW based custom rom.
I figured out that I could just load the stock via odin and go from there. So far so good.
