i want to change kernel lupus to mesa, do i fresh install the rom again after flashing kernel or just flashing the kernel?
No need to fresh install the rom, just flash the kernel in fastboot.
But make a backup though just in case

When I do a ROM backup via ROM Manager app...does that also backup the Kernel?
I want to flash the King's Kernel but want to make sure I can go back to stock Kernel if I have problems.
No it does not restore the kernel (zimage)
So i would need to use ODIN?

Yes or re-flash the Kernel through Clockwork if it's a flashable zip

Hey!
just made a small tool for easy flashing of .img files!
you can just drag'n'drop the .img files directly onto the application! (must be in root folder tho)
Else you put the .img files in the "IMG" folder, then run the application
Requirements:
Any 2011+ Xperia model
Fastboot drivers
Windows
Cheers!
ps:
check my signature and click "2011 xperia firmware list", there you will find some stock kernels!

Just download the kernel, which you want.
All kernels are in .img format, sometimes the file is just packed to a .zip file, then you need to extract it first.
This should help many new user which interested to flash a new custom kernel

is there any way to flash kernels without connecting our phones to pc?
a friend of mine had an HTC incredible s that could flash kernels on it by the phone only. is the same thing possible on SE mdpi's?
I think no.
Unfortunately, certainly not.
Hi
If you have a zip format flashable package containing a kernel, way shouldn't you?
When you flash a ROM, you flash also its kernel.

ROM isn't same as kernel. Kernel is medium between hardware and software. Same as you can't change ROM while phone's turned on.

Wrong, when you flash a rom you don't even touch the kernel, I guess you were talking about flashing a ftf file via flashtool.

I think you are misunderstanding some things.. You must first root your phone with cf-root AND THEN, you must flash the Rom with the specified kernel. But you can take a shortcut by flashing siyah kernel. You don't need to rely on baseband version.

okay .. so here is what i will be doing..
1> root my phone using the cf root method,(that will be giving me cwm and root)
2> get into the recovery mode and flash cm 10.1.
3> wipe and clear the cache
4> install g apps..
5> install siyah kernel via recovery (the zip.)
6> reboot...
cool enough? should i proceed?

No. Did you read the first post on the CM10.1 Thread?
You have to be running an ics stock rom and then root it.
Afterwards you can then proceed to flash CM10.1.

Hey ma8 first use the siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1(tar file for ODIN) form PC ODIN to root ur phone, to get a wrk'ng latest CWM recovery on ur phone
then follow the install instruction given in the CM10.1 thread to install the same, the CM10.1 rom comes with its own kernel that will replace siyah after install

so you mean to say that flashing the siyah kernal will directly give me root? Or will i have to use super one click app after flashing the kernel to gain root? One more thing have you tried the method you gave?
Yes it will, no need for any super one click. Once uve flashed siyah, reboot in recovery (which will now be cwm recovery), make a nandroid before you flash anything. Would be a good idea to back up your apps using titanium backup, your sms msgs with an app like sms backup and restore etc. Then proceed to flash the rom, gapps, make wipes etc.

Yes, flashing ftf "official" file ROM will remove CWM and new flashed ROM will has no root rights.
The same flashing with Sony PC Companion and SEUS.

Only if it's installed in the system, if you're bootloader is unlocked and you have a custom kernel with it, then no.

Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the stock kernel so yes it will be removed.

Your phone will return to stock as it just came out of the box if you flash the factory image via fast boot. Including kernel and recovery therefore, you will lose cwm. You can also lock up the boot loader again using toolkit.
