Does your phone brick when install custom kernel over custom kernel? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have the siyahkernel 1.2.6 and i want to install the new stable one 1.3.8 and i just wanted to ask if it will brick the phone, when i just flash over a custom kernel, while i have one installed. Do i have to flash the stock kernel again, and flash the 1.3.8 then?

No, just flash it, I'm always upgrading kernel that way (or even switch between different kernels) without any problem.

[Q] Flash stock firmware as second ROM

As title says, is it possible to flash stock firmware(just firmware, not kernel or modem) as second rom, using Siyah kernel and CWM?
Which way, please?
Thank you!
P.S.: I just have dual boot with Sammy as second ROM, I have to update it...
The dualboot guide is in the Siyah thread
As I said, I just have dualboot. I need to flash an updated kernel to second rom, but I don't have a CWM package.
How to create it?
you want to flash a .tar firmware to the second rom?
swap ROMs, flash via odin, swap back.
But FYI, flashing ELLA will change your bootloader permanently and you probably won't be able to use triangle away

[HELP] Need CWM

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37149820 to root, but now I need CWM, I have stock recovery. So if someone could point me to CWM to flash over this or with this, I can't find it.
Thanks.

You had no need to follow that guide, its bollocks and is only needed if you want to use stock recovery.
Instead just simply flash Siyah kernel v6 beta4 via ODIN and then that will give you root, cwm, super user and good stable kernel.
Flash siyah you will get amazing features like dual Booting, overclocking and advanced cwm

Or if you want original version then

Can I flash Siyah over this root that I have already? And must I use Odin or can I use stock recovery to flash (ZIP (For CWM-based Recovery))?

I have exactly the same problem.
First I tried flashing Philz kernel. But after flashing I was stuck in the boot screen. So I tried flashing Siyah (stable, not beta), but after the blinking Siyah logo at startup the phone just turned off. Only way out, wiping data/factory reset.
So I went back to 4.0.3 and then reflashed stock 4.1.2 and rooted with the method posted by the OP.
I would really prefer to flash Siyah. But I don't want to wipe... Any suggestions?
Thanks.

You can Flash siyah over your existing root... Use odin to flash

Well, I could flash Siyah beta4. I guess there was some problem with the stable version...

^^^ Ignore that. Rom manager is not properley compatible with I9100 and using it to flash kernels with result in unbootable system and having to manually flash kernel again via ODIN.
Just flash Siyah v6 beta 4 via ODIN.

[Q] Flashing back to dualboot original ROM and Custom using Siyah

Hi, I'm unsure of how to tackle this.
I've flashed my way from stock rom and lost the backup somehow. Therefore I intend to download the original firmware package from Sammobile or Kies. The thing is; I want to continue using my Custom firmware as primary ROM and have the original one as secondary ROM. This is hopefully possible through Siyah Kernel and tools. Although, I'm not sure if flashing the original ROM will tamper with my kernel. Is it safe to do it this way? Is it even possible? And what will happen if i get an OTA update after a successful flash of the original ROM?
It's important for me to dual boot, but the custom ROM I have doesn't have great image processing from the camera, so... I want the original as backup.
Thanks in advance.

Swap your own rom from secondrom utility's.
Than install the stock rom via Odin
And swap back your own custom rom to be the first rom.
Because you use a custom recovery you don't get any ota updates.
After flashing Install siyah Kernel back.

[Q] How to downgrade from CM11 to Stock JB ?

I have upgraded my device from stock ICS to stock Jelly Bean, after that to Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly, and I want to try new roms and try the stock JB some more (I only tried it for half a day or so), so I'm wondering if the downgrading process is the same as the upgrading process ? Do I just have to transfer the rom+gapps to SD card, clear cash and flash or there's something to do before that ?
NOTE : I don't wanna use ODIN .... It doesn't get along with my device

Use any latest Philz Kernel flash it from recovery and then flash any custom jb rom.
If you want stock jb for that you have to use Odin.

No,you don't need anything,as @Jeetu explained,if you want to go completely stock,Odin is the way to go.

the message app always stops

These problems may are bugs of your ROM? Which ROM are you using? I recommend this one:

THX for your response
but when i connet device to odin via downloadmod odin not reconized it
and this rom does not have a recovery!
so iwant a way to fix the wifi problem and update it via ota
Some more experienced users say installing another kernel might help, because WiFi drivers are included in kernel... But difficult without Odin... Perhaps check out the thread about Odin connection problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43132016
Or try the Flashify app or Mobile Odin from Play Store for flashing another kernel. Hope this helps. I'm not a pro, but better any answer than no one

wich kernel do you think is best
I can't especially recommend one, because I didn't install one yet. But search for Dorinmanx or Gustavo's kernel. Those are the most used kernels I think.

If you want to go back to stock rom, you will have to download the stock rom if you haven't already from sammobile or any other similar website. You will have to flash the file with ODIN then factory reset. (You can brick your device if you have brickbug affected chip and unpatched rom like some ICS firmwares, 4.1.2JB is the android version you want to downgrade to).

thx for your response
i know how to do it
my problem is odin not recognizing my phone in download mod

I think there's no other way than flashing another kernel, for example with Flashify. Most kernels also include a recovery. Then it is simple to flash the stock ROM via recovery (if you have the ROM as a zip file).
Hope this helps.
