How can I know what kernel I have on my phone? I have CM12 in my phone but want to know if I have the kk kernel installed so I update it to the LP one but dont know how to know wich one I have, thanks
If you have CM12, you have a lollipop kernel. CM11 would have a kk kernel.
If you want to know your bootloader version, boot into fastboot mode on the phone.
Kernel version can be found in:

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
1 lets say if I m on kitkat kernal and kitkat rom! Then I wanna revert back to jellybean do I need to flash jb kernal first from recovery then rom ?
2 if I flash Custom kernal and rom some hardware issue arrise obviously I need to be on stock rom and stock kernal and locked bootloader! So I tried finding stock kernal for Xperia L but I failed? How to get stock kernal? Or I don't need it I can fool Sony by installing stock rom only?
Grab the ftf from the link
If you want to revert back to JB:
1. Flash the kernel using flashtool.
2. From the recovery, you can install custom Rom.
OR
If you want go back to stock, just the flash the recquired FTF

Press thanks if I helped you...
I am perplexed:
I had previously installed many custom roms after updating to stock kitkat, including CM 11. However, I am not able instally cyanogenmod, AT ALL. I have gone through all the steps and all the recoveries, CWM & TWRP all versions. After the installation, the phone hangs on the boot logo, always.
Any clue would be appreciated. Thank you.
U sure u flashed/fastbooted the recommended kernel correctly and did a full wipe before installing the Rom?

I highly doubt you installed CM11 with the KitKat kernel installed. It won't work. The only way it would work is to FXZ back to JB and then install the previous version of CWM or TWRP.
Currently, there are no ROMs working with the KitKat versions of CM11 or TWRP, although dhacker is working on a new CM11 using the latest KK kernel for the RAZR HD phones and the developer for the Nexesque ROM is also working on an updated version that uses the KitKat kernel as well.

It was very strange situation. I ended up getting CM to work by using CWM 6.0.4.4. FMI (for my information), I need to use CWM 6.0.4.4 will be needed to install custom roms.
Thanks for the advice..

I presume you are also on the 4.4.2 bootloader and modem, and not on an earlier bootloader/modem pair and a custom 4.4.2 ROM. If this is true, NE1 bootloader and modem, you have very few options. I think there are three ROMs to choose from: stock, SuperLiteROM, and PaulPizz. Before installing either of the last two you will need to root and then install the Unofficial SafeStrap. Links to SafeStrap are in the OPs for the two ROMs. SafeStrap will tell you how to root, I used TowelRoot two months ago.
If flashing the ROM you choose does not fix the APNs then you may need to reflash the modem that corresponds to your bootloader version. If you are uncertain about the versions of your bootloader and modem you can check with a PlayStore app, Phone Info *Samsung* by vndnguyen. Another option for checking is these commands in a Terminal Emulator:
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband
thnk's men , but now i have another , before i don't know , so i installed rom manager and CWM recovery , now when i boot in recovery i get this
secure fail : kernel
system software not authorized by verizon wireless
i can't fix , i can't enter in recovery :/

That was the point of my other post.
You said you were on 4.4.2. If you have the 4.4.2 bootloader (I535VRUDNE1), you can not flash any AOSP or CM based ROM. Your only option in this case would be to install Safestrap and then one of the two ROMs which I linked. You can not downgrade this bootloader without bricking the phone. If must use one of these ROMs to get a custom ROM, you could flash SuperLiteROM and use XPosed and it's mods to tweak your device.
There is the possibility that your phone has an earlier bootloader and a 4.4.x custom ROM, this would let you flash CM or AOSP. I posted two ways to check your bootloader version. I recommend you do one of these before trying to flash anything else to avoid bricking the phone. If you have the NE1 bootloader look back to my previous post.
I saw a post like this but it only showed somehow that one can choose to install lollipop with a dont share kernel option in the multirom adv > add rom area but i see no such thing.
How (while im on kitkat now) is it possible to install lollipop in multirom?
It keeps failing. Is it doable without ruining my kitkat rom?
Thanks
