How do I know which bootloader I have? Does the Kernel version (3.10.20+) tell me? I'm running Android 4.4.2 and currently have root access with TWRP installed. I tried to flash the CM11 ROM available here but it will not install. And GAPPS tells me not enough room.

As the title says I'm a noob with non samsung devices.
I updated to 4.3 and unlocked the bootloader thinking it would easier to root the tablet.
What I want is to have a custom recovery and root acces with my stock 10.4.B.0.577 firmware on a 16 gigs wifi only (311) tablet z.
On my moto x I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a stock kernel with a custom recovery and there I flashed super su but I can't find a stock 4.3 kernel for this tab.
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590602 guide but I think I wont gain the custom recovery.
Any ideas?
Did I miss any thread?
Little Kernel maybe?
If Little Kernel is the way to go, I'd like to know if it's independent of the android version I'm running.
Hi. When I try to install latest Omnirom Nightly I get an error. Im on stock 4.2.2 rooted and custom recovery. Latest TWRP reports an error that my tablet is a Pollux and that the software is for Pollux_Windy. But I have a Pollux_Windy. Can it have something to do with firmware I used when I rooted the device? Can I change it somwhere with a text editor? I had to go back to a US. 370 version to be able to root and then a Uk 4.2.2 version to get to stock 4.2.2 with root where I am right now. After factory reset it asked me If I want to use the phone? Strange.
You can only flash AOSP ROMs from stock 4.3 or higher in my experience on the pollux windy , likely due to a partition layout change

I am using OMNI ROM 4.4.4 KITKAT on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. I want to install ICS ROM CM9. I have TWRP 2.7.1.0. Is it ok to flash CM9 using this TWRP version or should I install CWM. Please guide me how to use TWRP to install this ICS version. I have read ICS versions require different Recovery Modes due to different Bootloader. Is TWRP/CWM back compatible i.e does the latest TWRP/CWM capable enough to install all previous versions of ROMs. Also guide me how to use TWRP as I am comfortable with CWM.
I currently am using CM11.0 Nightly with TWRP Recovery. I been using it since I rooted the device. I never flashed stock firmware on my Moto E. So, I need to clear my doubt before I even proceed in flashing the stock firmware.
Q) I have downloaded http://www.filefactory.com/file/j64ntskflct/RETAILDSDSALL_XT1022_4.4.4_KXC21.5-40_cid7_CFC.xml.zip firmware. IS it correct one for Indian version XT1022 ?
Q) I have to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756609 to successfully flash Stock Firmware ?
Q) Can I Flash Stock Firmware on my Linux workstation ? If yes, how ?
Q) After I flash Stock Firmware & then lock the bootloader, the warning logo will disappear ?
Please help.
Thanks.
Hi. I've been searching all over xda to find out what exactly I need to do to be able to flash custom roms running 7.1 Nougat, but I find my self bouncing back and forth trying to figure out the exact procedure to take, in which I need clarification and guidance.
Specs:
Model: KIW-L24
Build: KIW-L24C567B130
Android Version: 5.1.1 (Lollipop)
Rooted: YES
Boot loader status: UNLOCKED
TWRP installed: YES
I am wanting to flash custom ROMs like lineage and cosmicOS, but they all require a stock MarshMallow update before proceeding. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is how I think I am supposed to do this:
1st: download KIW-L24C567B331_Stock_Plus_Stock_Recovery.7z (Which I believe is MM 6.0.1)
2nd: flash the stock image and recovery using TWRP
3rd: flash TWRP back on to get rid of stock recovery
4th: flash custom ROM that requires a stock MM update
Is this the correct procedure?
Thank you.
