the kernel is the interface between hardware (CPU, RAM...) and software (OS+applications
wiki
our kernels are linux kernel based : wiki
read this for more info about how to unlock bootloader, and flash kernels >>> here
failing to flash a kernel is more dangerous than failing for a rom, but lots of tools are here to unbrick
a custom kernel allows you to do many things you can't with stock SE kernel
i hope this answers your question

you dont need to worry about bootloader.
a custom recovery allows you to flash files, make backups, partition your sdcard, etc (more info on recovery here)
as for the kernel, you can first flash the rom and then the kernel (it is optional)
if you dont know what your baseband is, chances are you have the old baseband
general directions to flash a rom can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
but keep in mind, you must also follow the directions on the rom's thread

Yes you would root using the CF-root kernel first, then you can start to use custom roms.
You could just install proper CF-Root kernel for your firmware. You have wider options to select the proper firmware yourself.
NeatROM is exactly that. Official Firmware + CF-Root.
hi,
i have a new sg2 i9100 version witch came with 4.04 and no brick bug as reported the emmc.
i am searching for days and i am a bit confused .i am not familiar with that kind of softwares and i would like your help.
the goals: i want to root, and to be able to flash any rom i want.
1)if i understand so far i will need a kernel too?
2)i do not have the knowledge to understand what varius kernels offer and i simply choosed the siyah since it is the most popular(??) the s6 version states "This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore).
that means that my ics 4.04 will not be accesible and working anymore and i should flash a rom imidiately after the kernel flash?i do not mind to flash rom imediately after siyah kernel since i do not have anything instaled on the phone yet.
is it posible?with odin?1.86 , 3.04?
3)after the siyah kernel flash from the oficial siyah site , do i have root?
4)do i have cwm? if not what do i need to do?
5) is the siyah consider safe kernel?
thanks
i apreciate your help.

Frist root your phone, everything will be explained in the thread. Check FAQ
If you don't know what you are doing, don't flash siyah and stay with the kernel that gets installed when flashing the rom you want.
Flash a custom kernel with Odin. Another Siyah kernel than v6 will do, just check the changelog.
You will have root, CWM and you're able to flash custom roms. You can choose to try other kernels than the one that comes with a rom, but it's not a must.
And the person above is right: If you don't fully understand all this, try to learn a little bit more. It will prevent you from doing something wrong.
Good luck.

Just wanna know how i can extract a custom kernel from custom rom ? in the same way how i can flash it in any other custom rom
my point i tried many roms many kernels , in this time iam using android leak 4.2.2 so no source code for dev's to make custom kernels but there is plenty roms 4.2.2 repacked wanna use 'em with stock
Thanks in advance:victory:
1) Kernel is simply boot.img in zip, which you would know if .....
2) You'd read understanding the basics before rooting (From General > Sticky roll-up thread)
3) Please use descriptive thread titles.
Phone: C6833
Android Ver.: 4.4.2

Hey Guys!
I have a questions related to kernels. I want to install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712065
I saw that I need this custom kernel:
https://github.com/SlimRoms/kernel_sony_msm8974
I don't know how to build it. I did read that i need Linux ?! I'm not sure about this.
Anyways I still don't know how to realize this. I know that I need a .sin or .img file.
I really need help with that
After that, if I manage to flash my phone with that kernel, does it start into recovery or
is any recovery pre-installed on that kernel ?! If no, how do I install/access cwm ?
I can't find any helpful tutorials for flashing custom kernels on my phone.
I think I have this kernel accidently installed now with flashtool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548092
(how can i check what kernel i have and is there any stock 4.4.2 kernel maybe with cwm ?!)
The main question here is, how do I install a kernel for custom roms like cm or paranoid or togari roms, etc. ?
I am very thankful for every helpful answer!
greets
tr0teK
SOLVED: I found out myself. the boot.img is in the zip files -.- I am pretty dumb (Y)
