Quick question about updating the bootloader. I've got the XT926 bootloader unlocked/rooted running CM11 w/ JBBL. Do I have to use RSD to flash stock KK to update to KKBL, or is there a way to update it without wiping everything?
I'm wanting to try out the new CM12 builds but I don't believe they've made a version for JBBL.

Hi all, first post here.
I'm new to rooting and flashing and got my GS3 rooted and unlocked. Before I start flashing ROMs and trying out kernels with them I want to know if there is the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (un touched OTA) ROM and the appropriate kernel. The only stock ROMs I'm finding are ones that are altered or outdated.
Recap: 100% untouched 4.1.1 ROM and kernel, also Touchwiz launcher if it has changed going to Jelly Bean.
No one knows?

Section 5 of Droidstyle quite awesome guide:
You would flash this using Odin to return to stock, unrooted VRBLK3 4.1.1. It will format your internal sdcard and re-lock your bootloader. This includes the modem, kernel, and original Verizon bloatware. Whatever customizations you intend to install will be completely removed.
Or are you asking for a rooted version of the VRBLK3 rom? In which case, flash the rooted VRBLK3 version using CWM or TWRP recovery.
That's what I was looking for. I just want to have the stock setup on hand in case I need to put it back.
Is there a file location that has the kernel and rom separated rather than one file?
Thank you.

Hello,
I have searched the Razr HD threads with no avail. I have been running CM 10.1, 4.2.2 and would like to return to a 4.1.2 ROM(Nexesque deodexed/zipaligned 9.16.6 (4.1.2) base). 4.2.2 is still a bit buggy for my taste, specifically the camera issues. As I understand, I need to return to the stock kernel prior to flashing a 4.1... ROM via a boot.img file?
Does anyone have the link to the stock Kernel to flash? Also, can I flash this in CWM Recovery? If not, a link to instructions would be great.
This is relatively new to me as ROMs generally have the Kernels built in and flash automatically when installing in Recovery. At least thats how it was with my old HTC INC.
Thanks for your help and assistance.

it was ok for me
I restored to my stock back up, re-wiped, and re-flashed. All is well.

my previous phone was a locked one. to take ota updates i would have to revert back to a stock backup to take the ota. with n5, is this still necessary? can i simply flash a 4.4.1 rom like the updated cataclysm to get up to date since it includes the 4.4.1 kernel too? or am i missing other necessary files from the official ota?
Well yea. If you flash a rom based on 4.4.1 you should have all of the official changes merged into the rom.

Except for the new bootloader and radio. I would go back to stock, flash the update, and then flash a ROM. Then you'll be all 4.4.1.

I am trying to install my first custom ROM on my XT926 ota kk 4.4.2 rooted bootloader unlocked. I have cwm 6.0.4.4 and I have tried installing cm 10.2 stable and then I tried cm 11 snapshot and it says it has installed .zip files successfully but when I reboot it just hangs up on the M logo and I have to restore my ota to get my phone to reboot, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I believe most of the Roms in the Dev forum are still using 4.1.2 base, which means you cant flash them unless you go back to jb first.
There are some 4.4 test builds around you could flash on kk, sorry I don't have the link to them.

I tried one of the cm 11 ROMs from cyanogenmod's website, are you saying that those are also designed for the 4.1.2 kernel? If so does anyone have any suggestions on how to revert back to the jelly bean kernel, Also I was wondering if its OK to download the custom rom.zip file directly to the phone and put it in the right directory instead of moving it from the computer.
Unless they were updated to 4.4 source in the last week, I would say they are still on jb source. Most of the Roms you will find are a jellykat mix.
I posted a guide in the general forum, near the bottom you will find a pre-edited jb file you can use to flash with rsd.
Yes you can DL Roms right to your phone if you wish.

I've noticed that cyanogenmod has recently started doing nightlies (CM12) for xt925 again.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=xt925&type=
Though I'm not sure what the difference between this and moto_msm8960_jbbl (which is what I'm on currently) is.
Would it be possible for me to flash this xt925 nightly rom? Or do I have to be on kkbl?
Thanks!

xt925 is for kitkat bootloader
xt925_jbbl is for jelly bean bootloader..
Unified builds for our xt925 are no longer supported by cyanogenmod.. They separated the devices again..
So, if you are using moto_msm8960_jbbl you must change your build to xt925_jbbl to be up to date..

So all I'll need to do is flash the xt925_jbbl and everything will be all good?
