Kernel flashing help needed - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys. My gs3 is running jellybean 4.3 and its rooted with saferoot. Everything is fine but I want a little more performance. Is there a way I can flash a custom kernel and make it faster or do I have to flash a ROM and then flash the kernel with safestrap? Any help will be great

If my understanding is correct no u cant.. Since u took the 4.3OTA u can flash TW custom rom but also flash the stock kernel.

You need to flash the kernel modules, you don't mess with the kernel at all. It'll brick the phone.

Any kernels work with stock ROM?

Im rooted and have flashed 4 ROMS and they all freeze at boot.
You using the proper radio? Stock as in 2.3.5? What roms you try to flash?

Im a retard, I meant that i flashed 4 different kernels. I just had to restore my stock backup so now i am back on 2.3.5 rooted. I just want to try a different kernel and it seems like they all just keep getting stuck at the boot screen. They actually freeze, no animation or anything. I let them sit for 15 minutes each time.
You have to use the right radio because a gb radio doesnt work with an ics rom. And the kernel is the same way

Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Flash the kj2 radio
Wait 30 seconds and flash it again
Then try flashing faux kernel and wait 30 seconds before rebooting system.

No problem. There's no way unless you flash a custom ROM that's as closed to stock as possible.
Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 4G LTE
^ agreed! flash a custom stock rom in recovery such as beans or synergy...thats as close as you will get to stock without using odin.
Took me awhile to figure this out.
And what I found out is you have to flash one of the stock roms before the kernel or it won't work. You have to be unlocked of course. Flash any Rom in cwm then after it installs and your still in recovery flash the stock kernel. Here's a link to the kernel

4.2 ROMs

Twice I've flashed 4.2 ROMs and both times they ran good but overnight my phone froze. I had to pull the battery and restore a 4.1 ROM. Anyone else have trouble?

I've never had this issue and I have flashed several different 4.2.1 ROMs. Flashing a kernel along with the ROM by chance? Under clocking or undervolting at all?

No changes. Flashed Liquidsmooth and Black bean.

There's no need to flash any prior OS just before you switch to another rom.

Can We Flash Radios?

I had an HTC phone and I could flash radios. Can the same be done with the S3?
Note that the bootloader is unlocked.
And if so, does anyone know where I can get the latest radio from the I535VRUCML1 update?

Definitely doesn't say that.
It says do not flash an ml1 firmware package. He says specifically to flash the latest mf1 firmware package, then flash the ml1 radio only. It's a little confusing, so make sure you understand it before you flash anything.

So right now I'm rooted with BMB1.
Basically flash the MF1 radio and then flash the ML1 radio, rather than just jumping from BMB1 straight into ML1?
Sorry man, I'm just still confused on what it's saying.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This is my comprehension...
I'm on MB1 still.
So I must go here and flash MF1 for D2VZW:
http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html
Then go here: http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/modems/d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip
and the ML1 radio should start downloading... then flash it?
Both of these are good to flash in recovery without any wipes.
Is this correct? Lol.

It doesn't matter what ROM I'm on while flashing either of these files does it?
I'm currently on LiquidSmooth 3.0 nightly... android 4.4.

You didn't update? so your not on a locked bootloader? Also you should beable to boot from stock slot unless you did somthing to it. I don't think anyone is working on it because I think you may be the first to have this problem.
Come to think of it, I'm not seeing your name in the Safestrap thread Harley. At least not from the last three weeks. If you have been trouble with Safestrap loading roms, there's no post from you about in that thread:

He posted in the casual thread, not the safestrap thread. He seems to be the only one not able to flash 4.3 TW ROMs through safestrap. He needs to calm down and explain exactly what steps he is taking when trying to flash a ROM through safestrap and plenty of people here who will help him. Also, he may get more and better help by posting in the safestrap thread.

I received the phone with the 4.3 update. Im rooted. Ive got safestrap. Ive gotta stock slot and its fine. Its the others I cant get to take a rom. It took one once. But it sucked. Random shutdowns. Lag. FCs. All kinda crap. So heres the steps. DL rom. Create rom slot. Flash rom. It reboots and gets past the recovery/continue page then goes black. Thats it.
