[Q] Faux123 Kernel on 4.3 bootloader?

Hi all,
I flashed the US Global GSM 4.4.2 ROM following this guide on Modaco as i wanted to flash Infution 4.4.2, so i had to re-flash the 4.3 bootloader to enable me to re-flas CWM, but i now want to flash Faux123's KK Kernel, so I was wondering if CWM will still work if i flash it, as the vertion of CWM I am running only supports the JB bootloader, or is there now a custom recovery that supports the KK bootloader, now we have the sauce code:fingers-crossed:, I have been trying to keep up with the CWM / TWRP threads but am still unsure were we are at with them,
Thankyou for your time, and Thanks in advance for any advice you may give

I have 4.4.2 with 4.3 Bootloader and CWM - Faux123's KK Kernel flashed fine.

thanks for the quick reply, downloading now

Twrp flash custom kernel on locked boot loader?

I read somewhere that TWRP allows you to flash custom kernels on a locked bootloader . So I'm wondering if it's possible to flash CM or a custom kernel on a LG MS769 with a locked bootloader without possibly bricking the phone???

Switching KK ROMs

Hello,
Please help me clear this up.... I have a TF300T which, until recently, had latest stock 4.2 ROM.
So I followed instructions carefully... unlocked bootloader, and successfully installed TWRP 2.8 and a custom KK ROM.
All fine but I now want to try a different one. All ROMs caution that I have to be on stock JB bootloader before installing. And that's where I get confused. Anyone can help me with precise instructions on what I need to do now, before installing a different KK ROM? Don't want to brick the tablet.
Thank you!

The prerequisite for installing a KK ROM is being on the stock JB bootloader, which you are on. Flashing the first KK Rom did not change the bootloader; it only changed the software that was run after the bootloader.
If you want to flash another KK Rom, just factory reset (from inside TWRP) and then flash the KK Rom from inside TWRP. After that, flash any GApps, mods, or kernels you want.

This is my question too!
I have a ROM that requires twrp 2.7.0.0. But the ROM I want to switch to says it needs the latest version of twrp recovery. The JB bootloader requirement makes me leery as well. I did originally start with jb 4.2. So I want to be sure as well. Can't afford to end up with a brick.

[Help] Can't install custom recovery !

Hello,
I have some problem to install custom rom and recovery on samsung US device
Can I unlock bootloader for this device ? what I should do to install Custom recovery ?
Thank's

Sadly, you cannot unlock your bootloader past the 4.1.2 update (excluding 4.1.2), and the only custom recovery that works is SafeStrap. All of the ROMs you install past said update must be on the TouchWiz kernel, so there's no escape.

Correct but what version of Android are you on?
From my CM11 S3

You're going to have to provide a lot more info cuz that doesn't make sense. Flashing a custom recovery on a Verizon S3 (SCH-I535) with 4.3 or 4.4.2 causes a hard brick upon rebooting the phone.

Thank's

Doubts regarding installing custom roms ?

i finally got my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked. Now i wanted to get started with installing custom roms.
Some questions i have are:
What kernel to use for roms like Glade 2.0 or any other android 5.0+ roms . why can i not use the stock kernel
Which is the fastest ,cleanest available rom for this device.
Is recovery already present in all kernels.
IMPORTANT:If i install an ota from sony after unlocking my phone's bootloader, will it brick my phone permanently..?

1. Stock kernel is for Jellybean 4.2. Therefore you cannot use it for 5.0.
The roms already have the kernels , you just need something to flash these roms. Go to the development section and download the one click recovery installer app. Use philz touch recovery from that.
2. All these roms have their own advantages and limitations. It would be better if you read the reviews/bug reports in their threads. You'll get a better idea.
3. If you're talking about the above roms, then yes. They already have recoveries.
