Does a stock firmware include the stock kernel? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I"m running an US Cellular s6, the 920r4. If I were to flash unikernel and it ends up bricking my phone, would flashing the stock firmware solve that problem?

Yeah

Yes, stock firmware includes stock kernel, recovery, etc.

Yes, flashing this ROM via odin will solve your problems:

[q] uckk1 ota?

I've read that UCKK1 should be available OTA, however when I look for updates on my new UCKJ2 device, I get "Current software is up to date."
Why can't I find the update? Do I have to download the update on WiFi or can I do it over 3G/4G?
The update was only available for a few days then it was stoped. Not sure why. But att said it was only available to those who needed it
Theres a pre rooted stock rom made from it in the dev section . If u want it
---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------
No there are no issues or problems with it at all. Infact some of the other roms were made from it. Here check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361144
Do you think I could flash over stock post-rooted UCKJ2 w/o wipe?
No it is. Never a good idea . Always wipe data/cache before flashing a rom. Unless its an official update.zip

You need to make sure you flashed a completely stock image and then the OTA update will come. The stock ROM is not rooted, but yes you can re-root. There is a thread in the NS4G section where a dev is already working on the stock rooted ROM. check it out

Thanks a bunch for posting this. I've been looking for the download file for this update so that I can have it on my computer in case I run into an issue with my phone and should happen to need it in the future. It did not brick my phone at all and I really don't care about having an unlocked bootloader. That's just not a big deal to me.
Official Tar File
Thanks for sharing the link.......
It is helpful to me to get it download on my Computer.

Can you provide more information? I don't think anyone else has reported that and it has been deemed to successfully apply 4.3 to the S3. Did you flash through Odin?
yes with the file above

Out of curiosity what happened that made you think it was 4.1.2?
My fault was the lock screen , I quit the lock screen and the update is succesful

Any luck for unlocking the bootloader? I'd love to get my CM love back! My sister updated the phone for me, she thought she was doing me a favor. I was playing around with stock at the time cuz I could always restore from Nandroid backup before.
Ok so after I flashed this on my bricked phone I'm back up and running 4.3 and happy,. But when I put the phone into download modeECUREBOOT i get this, is this normal?
ODIN MODE
PRODCUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Offical
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 1
Other then custom system status becaused im rooted is everything else normal?
Yes that looks good. One thing im wondering is why some people are getting there warranty bit flaged. Mine still says 0 even after I tried to downgrade, fix with Verizon tool, root then flash this Odin file twice rooting both times.

[Q] How can I root a Verizon SCH-I535 4.3?

Hi,
I was recently given a stock Verizon SCH-I525 but unfortunately they had upgraded it to android 4.3. I have tried almost every way to root this thing with no luck. How do I go about rooting this version? If I can't, is there a way to flash it back to one of the older versions and then root it?
Thanks
Jim
Would Also Like to know if this is possible?

Flashing CM from stock rooted Kitkat? (BL unlocked)

Is this possible yet? I'm running CWM. Can I just drop the zip in my sd and flash as usual?
Thanks.
