i would refer to here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-basics-101-understanding-kernels-xda-developer-tv/ , you would flash them pretty much as you would flash a custom rom, pretty much they are small modifications like being able to overclock your device. you dont NEED them unless your looking for a specific modification. look at all the kernels on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development (2012 version of nexus 7) or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/development (2013 version) just read the contents, if you have questions about them ask those threads .

Hey guys,
I just purchased a used Asus Transformer off of Ebay and it has arrived yesterday. I'm pretty much an Android noob but to my understanding the Asus has already been Rooted. From the description given on Ebay the device seems to have a Rom called Android Revolution HD (or something) What I want to know is how can I tell if my device has this Rom installed since it looks exactly like the Asus stock firmware? (Just in case this version is outdated or I want to change to a new Rom) I also see that this device also has a custom kernel ([email protected]) My question is, is it possible to return to the stock kernel of Honeycomb? Or is there any recommended kernels out there? Is it possible to flash a new kernel without affecting the Rom or Root? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for helping a noob out!
Did you buy it from someone else?

Yeah I purchased off of someone else on Ebay. I did ask him to unroot and restore to factory settings which i thought he did since I'm not too familiar with Android. However after some reading last night I found out that the device was still rooted since it had the app Superuser. That's why i want to know how can i tell if the device is still running the Android Revolution HD Rom or not. Since I don't know if he removed it or not.
You can identify it at about phone or phones detail.. Theres a build number that state your rom

Oh so the build number will indicate if it's a custom Rom or not?
Depends.. Usually itstated what rom you use..

Hello everyone, I'm not sure about which section to post this but, I have read the threads about rooting and going down the ''proper channel'' to root, SE says, if my Bootloader unlock allowed says 'NO', rooting can't be done. I just bought an Xperia Play800i and it says NO.
Is there any way to root it? Also, what is recommended first in your opinion > 1.(Unlock,Root,Flash) or 2.(Unlock,Flash,Root) or 3.(Root,Unlock,Flash).
Many thanks in advance.

hope this helps..
sorry but in Samsung galaxy plus (i9001) where i can look to see that effectively is my custom rom installed?
Try going into settings and looking at device info. It may have what rom it is running in there. If not, I am not sure where else you could find that out.
Hi all
This may be a stupid question but do u need to update your android version in order to flash roms onto your cellphone?
thx in advance

No you definately don't need to upgrade to flash roms. Actually, in most cases, if u update it will make it much more difficult to flash roms
It really depends on what phone you are going to flash roms onto. Be specific when asking questions so u can get answers faster and much more detailed. Hope this helps

As far as I know the Android version is generally baked into the ROM itself, so it doesn't matter what you're replacing.
No not really, there are a few devices that require you to downgrade to upgrade tho, but not many. Generally its a matter of clearing out your current ROM and flashing your new one.
If anyone knows of or is in production of a custom ROM please let me know. I have mine rooted with CWM, so if you need any stock files let me know and Ivan send them over! I would love to have something for this make. I see there are plenty of option for the pxxxx or gtxxx models. But nothing for the SGHxxx variants.
Looking for this too!!!!!!!
OK, I will jump in also.... But if you do find one, come to Google+ and point the way.

I have one too and I can't believe there is no development for this thing. If there is no dev for it soon, the next new thing will bump it off the AT&T shelf and all we'll have is a rooted stock Tab 2 or the opportunity to buy something else.
Im sorry but there is seriously only one dev for any SGHXXX device. And he only supports the 7" one. Sorry guys. Besides, why not get a Nexus 7 or wait for the new Nexus 7.7?

How did you get yours rooted? I have tried a number of different ways and never could get it rooted. I have searched XDA for it as well but no luck.

hi guys do you still have SGH-i497 tab ?
I'm also looking for any usable rom apart from stock. I have an sph-p500 which is technically the same as sgh-i497 but found no roms at all. any help appreciated. all rom links are broken. I know the device is pretty old but I don't want to shred it.
Hi I have a question concerning getting CWM installed on my RCA 7 inch tablet (RTC6272W23). It is a ROCKCHIP based device (RK3066). itis on 4.2.2. I ffound something on this website, but being new to all this stuff I was not sure if this applied to my tablet or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102679. I was wondering if looks like it applied to mine or not? I only need to install CWM so I can make a complete backup of the stock ROM, I will not be using it for custom Roms. I am rooted. Thanks in advance.
Hello
Man not to be an ass or anything but everywhere I look on line all I see is how this website is so great, but I have ask questions on two different tablet on here, and no one even replies. Hey got a lot of people looking at the question. I rate this site at minus 5 stars so far
It think it can be applied to your tab... Problems are ignorable and won't cause any disturbance..
To be on safer side make sure u have backups and stock rom available
