[Q] how to flash ROM only ?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i tried siyah kernel v1.8 but after flashing omega ROM got Black screen on reboot. Problem i figured, was that omega had its own kernel also flashed during flashing ROM. i come from Xperia forum where we used to flash ROM and Kernel seperately. So my question is how do i flash only the ROM and not the Kernel. i am not a developer but from my experience of flashing ROMs in Xperia forum, i guess i should modify the updater script for this purpose.... Am i correct .. ?? Can anyone help me on this issue ??
i tried googling but couldnt find satisfactory result
Thanks,
MB

just flash the ROM only that all

If u r using omega ROM then there will be omega online apk in your application list ....open it n download the custom kernel and flash it.......

You can either do that OR flash your rom and without booting / rebooting flash your kernel of choice.

4. Wait few minutes and reboot again
4. Enjoy MIUI and ICS

Hi bro,
It's not ics version, it is jb cMiui
I'm currently on gb stock rom
The procedures shown is for ics version
It doesn't matter. Anyway, you must do a factory reset when you want to upgrade Android version.
Now I'm on gb, I should install any cm9 based kernel with ics bootloader before flashing this cm9 /cm10 based jb rom.
Cmiui jb version
I read somewhere that I should install ics before going to jb

Yeah! The perfect way is to upgrade to ICS before flashing a JB ROM.
Flashing CM9 with ICS bootloader will be a good step. So just go ahead

Thanks all for the support.
lot of FC on cMIUI 2.10.19
Hi there!
I've installed the cMIUI 2.10.19 in the recommended way (before that i used CM10 M2), but I get now a lot of FC (with system UI, and more). My phone still works but I don't have notification bar. I cant use the file browser and a lot important feature. I think I have tried everything to solve that. (fix permissions, format system wipe everything before and just after flashing, waiting after boot and reboot and waiting again). But it wont work!
What should I do now?
(I have an i9100G)

[Q] back to cm9 from ka sspeed

ok so now i have ka sspeed on my sxs and i am thinking of going back to cm9 (sure as hell i aint going back to stock)
the question is : do i have to flash a kernel again if i am using this method?
http://www.androidauthority.com/xperia-s-lt26i-android-4-0-4-ics-cyanogenmod-9-1-cm9-1-rom-112412/
if yes do how do i flash a kernel? now i know i flash roms by connecting via fastboot then fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot recovery-nozomi.ini then reboot and i install from the cwm menu... but when i want to flash a kernel and i do the same things it seems that the command -i 0x0fce etc deletes the rom i flashed in cwm.. i tried once flashing gapps this way and discovered after flashing gapps that the rom is gone.. am i missing something? i can assure u and myself that im still a noob so please treat me like a baby who needs candy! btw this problem faces me whenever i wanna flash mods or anything so i really need to understand what im doing wrong here! thanks in advance for everyone who WILL NOT ignore me !
oh and one last question... should the rom be flashed first or the kernel?
just download the cm9 rom from the development section,
then flash the rom via recovery ( it doesnt matter what kernel are you in.)
flash the gapps
then flash the kernel (cm kernel included in the package).

is it the boot.img included in the zip file? should i take it out and flash it via fastboot or what do i do?
another question.. the zip file i have starts with fxp136_etc... the one im downloading now is fxp141_etc...
is it a different version or just a different name? i mean are there many versions of cm9.1?
i want to replace some stock files (camera, music player, video editor...) and add the stock ones. how about i rename walkman.apk to apollo.apk? will it work? or semccamera.apk to camera.apk..

i respectfully disagree.. the only reason i was changing to cm is to show my friend how it looks like before installing it on his phone from stock.. i think ka rom is recently the best rom for sxs,, with the tweaks that happened in 17 and 18 its almost perfect.. plus the fcs and ther bugs are fixed hy the developer so i dont think there is anything wrong... come on he supports his rom more than sony does to theirs
anyway if u want help with installing check his guide and i can help with my modest knowledge if u need anything u can ask me!

if you did the following I am not sure how to help:

without reboot flash slim gapps

yes, I do agree with @galaxys3lover. Automatic scripts are goods, but in this particular case a manual wipe was better.
i am a lill paranoic ... i do "erase everything" before install a new rom, and I try follow the developer instructions (if he say ... full wipe is the recommended ... yeah .. i will do ... if we will have fc or problems or strange things... no regrets ... lol)
@chrismast i was reading the slim rom thread and in instructions:
"From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean
Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.
Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)
*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files."
*** i do really doesn't understand this 5 secs ... some other xda slim user could bring us a enlightment for this question. maybe a slim cm aosp based rom particular issue? i don't know
"Upgrading Slim Bean
Unless we specify otherwise in changelog
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip."
and the 4.2.2 Build 6 ChangeLog
"Attention:
Due to the updated TRDS 2.0 code, you HAVE TO download and flash the new gapps packages this time."
references
http://slimroms.net/index.php/installation
http://slimroms.net/index.php/changelog
maybe a "forget step"? or the problem was related to Boeffla Kernel
"Note: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!
Also do NOT install it on any Samsung 4.2.x based Roms!!! You will just get a boot loop!!!" - a quote of @AndiP - red color is not mine ... lol

Not at all, i will share personal experience.
Few days ago... I flashed SlimRom and everything was OK, however, due to not reading and having an anxiety about having Boeffla, i flashed Boeffla from CWM and i get a Soft Brick but thank i had battery, i could revive via Back up and Restore (NAndroid).
Conclusion: Boeffla do not support AOSP nor AOKP
"would appreciate correct me if I am wrong, if not, also let me know" :good:

Flashing a ROM changes the kernel (which contains the CWM),
so all you have to do is go find a custom kernel compatible with this ROM and flash it
