hellow mates i'm just new here, i would like to ask whether i will use the ST26_Stock_kernel_by_2010Matej_3.4.0.31.11.2.0.a.31-3.4.0.ftf kernel provided in the download when flashing this rom? Because in the CWM instruction, it is said that the JB31.ftf will be used after using the CWM. I'm just confused which one to be used. By the way i'm xperia J user, android v. 4.1.2, build .31. Anyone can help me. Thanks a lot.

You will flash the ST26_Stock_kernel_by_2010Matej using flashtool after you install the rom. To be able to reboot the rom.
in addition, i'm on locked bootloader.?
You can flash. ftf's on lock bootloader. You can't flash kernels, img.

You can update your Phones android version only if. Your manufacturer provides you the update,
Or you can install any custom Rom.

Search for custom Rom for <your mobile model no> in xda.
There are many like Cyanogen mod Xperia ultimate HD......etc.
But I like the stock one and I don't recommend anyone to flash their phones with custom ROM because for that you have to unlock your bootlader and if you did it u will lose your warranty and if you something wrong while flashing, your phone might get BRICKED.
You can try different launchers from the market and apply different skins.They are nice,I suggest you to have Apex launcher.

H didn't find caustom rom for my phone model in xda (zte 3,5 nova)
bu thank you for your advice
HI all,
I'm not new to the flashing game, but this asus device seems to be high maintenance.
I wanna install the AOKP 4.2.2 Full Functionality custom rom on my device. Here is how I plan to do it. Can someone verify that this procedure will work as I don't wanna ruin my tablet.
1. I'm gonna root my device using Unlock_v8.apk to unlock bootloader then recovery-jb.img to root.
2. I wanna use GooManager to flash the following files in this order
a) Aokp_R05.zip
b) gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
c) update.zip (to fix governor issue)
Thats it!! Will this work?
One last question. Is AOKP 4.2.2 Full Functionality a Build or a Milestone?
Thanking you in advance

Be careful, which bootloader do you have installed now?
If it is 4.2, recovery-jb.img may brick your device.
If it is 4.1, I think you need to use Unlock_V7.apk.
Also make sure, which bootloader is supported by the ROM you want to install.
That it has version 4.2 does not mean it will work with the Asus 4.2 bootloader.
There are several threads on upgrading/downgrading the bootloader.
Please read carefully!

Ok dumb question: How do I check the bootloader version. I am currently running JB 4.2.1. Does this mean I have boatloader 4.2?

Not a dumb question!
Yes, if you are running Asus 4.2 stock ROM, you have bootloader 4.2.
Make sure to read the respective threads carefully. It is not well supported yet and many users bricked their devices by not reading carefully enough.
Specifically: keep away from CWM (recovery*.img) and use only the TWRP version patched specifically for BL 4.2.

All roms out except based on stock 4.2.1
Require old bootloader. You need to downgrade

Ok thank you all so much. You've been very helpful. I don't think I'm gonna root my tablet anymore. If i have to downgrade boatloader, then flash it.. It just sounds like its high maintenance. I'll just tolerate it for now. I may revisit this option at another time. Is downgrading boatloader a pain in the butt? Thank u for letting know about my boatloafer version, which recovery to root & about the downgrading of boatloaders. You've all been so very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you Kaos420. I actually am interested in flashing AOKP 4.2.2. Judging on what you've said, that custom rom should be ok with my boatloader. Is that correct?

Judging from your other comments, you have the new boot loader 4.2, right?
Sorry, but then AOKP 4.2.2 is not for you without downgrading.
For installing TWRP and/or downgrading, use this thread as a starting point; it links to others.
Of course you can skip the part about upgrading to 4.2 boot loader, scroll down a little!
[GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root/Downgrade Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked/Locked Devices
If you don't want to downgrade, this thread lists the two ROMs that are currently compatible with your bootloader:
[WARINING] DO NOT install a recovery from 4.1 on a 4.2 tablet!
Or you might want to just wait a little. Seems Asus finally released the new kernel source code, so there should soon be more ROMs supporting the new 4.2 boot loader.
Thank u f69m again youve been so very helpful. I really dont like the latest update on the tablet. My tab seems to be very slow. I think i will downgrade the boatloader and install aokp 4.2.2..
If i could just ask though, how on earth do u guyz check boatloader versions?

Tried it!! doesn't work!! Do i have to do a factory reset??? And what firmware?? .50 or .55??
I used .45 and is worked just fine. But .50 and .55 should work fine, too.
The JB update will do the wipe for you (system/data/cache)
What exactly doesn't work?
Any errors?

If it says 'unlock not allowed" you simply cannot unlock it. And at the moment you can't install custom roms or kernels, but no need to worry about that for now. I mean you just wanna flash an ftf here? so yeah go ahead.
If you need a guide on how to do it, refer to this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337955

Youre wellcome.
If you have LB you can't flash kernels and boot.img thats why you can't use costum Rom's like CM based.
