Hey everyone,
I want to flash the new slimrom onto my I9505. It goes from android 4.2.2(stock rom) to android 4.3 (slimbean).Do i have to change my kernel when doing so?
Thx in andvance

Not sure about the specifics to the i9505 but on most every device that has a custom ROM produced for it (especially a big name ROM like cyanogen or slim) you would just make a backup in recovery, wipe clean, flash new ROM, then flash gapps if needed
The kernel most always is included with the ROM and will be flashed at the same time, but there are differences in every device so I advice to read the procedure in phone forum for specifics to your devices

Hi there!
I am wanting to update my Samsung Galaxy GT-i9300 but am worried about the process because of having installed a custom kernel previously (would this muck up installing a new custom rom I wonder..)
Please find attached a screenshot of the settings and please tell me what I should do (if anything needs done) before I flash a new custom rom.
Cheers!
if you're worried about kernels, then just flash stock kernel then flash a custom rom on it.

kk, could you provide me with a suitable stock kernel (or links to one) which will be compatible with the rom I have installed?
any stock kernel that is for jb will be fine.

I am on android version 4.0.4 (so technically not JellyBean). and its safe to flash a stock kernel for JB despite being on that version before I flash a custom rom?
Sorry for asking, get confused easily..
you should be fine updating with a custom kernel (as all roms flash a kernel as well). Just make sure you factory reset when moving from ics to JB as you will most likely encounter problems if you don't.

I would suggest flashing ICS stock kernel first if you're worried. I thought you were already on jb.

Easy
Reflash the stock ics ROM
And flash any custom ROM you want
Enjoy

Hi I've flashed my s2 with sentinel rom (basically cyanogenmod) so it's like a nexus 4 and I would quite like to flash a stock rom but not like the s2 rom like is there a way to flash an s3/s4 stock rom to my phone? :thumbup:

No. Pls don't flash a rom that's not made for your phone as you will probably brick it. Look in Android development for what you want
I double dare you to try it.
Is there a way that I can go back to my original stock rom test it out and if I don't like it go back to my flashed rom?

Hi,
Make a nandroid backup from you current rom und flash an other rom. If its not fit you can restore your backup
Maybe you have to flash the kernel that you used to make the backup before you restoring.
Basically I want jelly bean but the stock version. Currently I'm using a rom that is jelly beans but is like a nexus 4 but I want the Samsung features. Thanks

Hi,
i know, you wrote on OP sentinal rom. Just make a backup from your current rom in the recovery. And then you go to the download modus and flash a stock rom via odin. If you dont like it, flash a recovery and restore your backup.
Easy
Ok! Where can I get the stock rom from and can it be jelly bean? I know that when you buy the new s2s they have 4.1.2 installed! And how to you flash a recovery? Everything else I know.

Okay... do you flash the sentinel rom oder someone else? If you did it than you have to know what the recovery is. It the menue that comes up when you hold VolUp+Home+Power and boot. There ist an option "Backup and restore".
Here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ you can get the official stock roms, just search for I9100. To download you have to register, its free
Andi
Get your stock rom from samfirmware. Just scroll down and download the required Android version. You can get temporary recovery from recovery tools in play store or if you want permanent recovery you gotta flash a custom kernel.
Does anyone encounter failure while trying to flash 4.4 roms?
I tried to upgrade form 4.2.2 GPE..... That didn't work
I tried to first update to 4.3 and go to 4.4... that didn't work either.
Is there a fix for 4.4 failure while flashing?
Thanks
What recovery r u using.

Gotta use and updated recovery that supports 4.4 ROMs. I had the same issue didn't realize I needed to be on an updated recovery. If using cwm recovery you need to be on at least a 6.0.4.x and above to flash 4.4 roms
I was using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468 rom.
Now while trying to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580489
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Both give status 7 error while in cwm recovery
older roms such as rootbox v3.7.1 and jellybam v6.0.0 are installing fine.
Are the above stated roms not suitable for sgs2 i9100i
Probably you should first read the instructions before starting to flash ...
You need CWM recovery > 6.0.4.x otherwise it will not flash.

my friend has a galaxy s3 with android 4.3 and knocx bootloader how to install custom recovery and rom on it in my dads s3 with android 4.1.2 was easy help me to install custom rom it runs XXUGNA8 Android 4.3 version
The i9300 doesn't have knox. Either you are mistaken or have another model, in which case you've posted in the wrong forum.
