Root it first with dorimanx or philz kernel.
I think you want carbon android 4.4.x version? If you flashed a dorimanx kernel, flash a kitkat compatible CWM
Follow installation steps on the carbon thread.

Don't know what version you flashed and what rom Android version you're now running. But I believe the v8 tar version is the one for Android 4.1.2.
Just flash carbon.
You did make a backup?

Read the threads of your rom and the kernel you want. Find out what Android and Mali version your rom is using and find the kernel that you need. If you don't know what your doing, stick to the kernel that comes with the rom.
Why do you want to unroot it? Of you want an other custom rom you need to root it again. You can't root it for some apps and unroot it for the other.

[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

I didn't get you. you meant the sock kernel?
Yes no options for other kernels. Stock only on 4.3 atm. Give it time and you will have a choice.

Root is already done on custom roms. 4.3 has developers options and root in there. If you dont see dev options tap build about 5 times and it will come up in menu.
Edit: do you mean your on stock rom and no root? If so yes you need to root first. Sorry haven't read posts to well today.
What firmware do you have? Gb/ics/jb?

I had rooted an HTC Desire, for Cyanogen. First with Samsung and Paranoid. Btwn I have i9100 model.
So pick say lss philz zip and flash that in recovery. Make sure you put it on ext sd and go to recovery and then update. Reboot and root with cwm recovery is done. Then follow op in pa for how to install pa rom.
Im on biftor v11 with apollo kernel.

[SOLVED] Im having a hard time installing kitkat roms, helppp

Heyyy, so i just came back to android and felt like flashing some kitkat roms so as to enjoy those cool features kitkat offers..i'm currently running stock 4.1.2 JB.
as far as im concerned, first i should flash a rooted+cwm kernel through odin (which i flashed latest siyah for JB)... that went smooth and i got rooted and got cwm, problem is when i want to actually install any rom... I continually get "installation aborted" and the only way to make my phone usable again is to flash a stock firmware through odin.
any ideas ? thanks !
PD: I tried installing the "kitkat cwm compatible" thingy both through odin and through cwm, it did flash correctly, but phone fails to boot. if you dont get this last thing.. its this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546597
hope anyone out there can give me a hand since im tired of running stock :'(
check the OP again
have you read the OP before flashing KK custom rom. maybe u miss some part to flash it.
You can flash philz kernel on to of your stock JB to get root and recovery (no need to use Odin, you can flash through standard recovery). Then do a backup of your rom and after that flash a cwm-recovery >6.0.4.x (this is needed to be able to install s KitKat ROM). Boot directly after flashing into that recovery, wipe system and data and install KitKat.

I've got more information there.
Do you know what firmware you installed?
Or you can flash dorimanx kernel through Odin. It also gives you root access. Download this:
Kernel_Dorimanx-V8.43-[12-21]-[24-10]-TAR-FOR-ODIN.tar
If you don't know how to flash it through Odin, look in the op of the dorimanx kernel thread. Just above the download links it's explained.
After that follow the instructions from AndDiSa by flashing a kitkat compatible cwm etc.

Next time read before doing things!
Before flashing a kitkat rom you had to flash a kitkat compatible cwm.
Search for this and flash it. After that reboot into recovery and flash beanstalk.
And next time, please read.

Dorimanx kernels can't flash kitkat roms without changing the updater-script. If you don't know how you can change the updater-script, flash the kitkat compatible CWM before flashing beanstalk.
