Would it be safe to use PC companion if I flashed a Stock GB ROM onto my phone but had a custom Kernel (say stock with CWM) still on the phone?
Or do I need to find Original Stock and Original Kernel?
If it's a gb kernel then it should be fine. Though you'll probably need to flash the appropriate modules after the rom.

Unlocked bootloader, latest doom kernal, stock .42 rom.
If I reflash the tft with flashtools am I right that will replace the kernal with stock?
I want to reinstall the firmware to remove all tweaks and possibly try a new rom, can i do a fresh .42 install without losing doom kernal/recovery?
If you flash with cwm then you'll keep the kernel, but re-flash the WiFi modules too.

Hi I want to use the stock rom but doom kernal doe overclokcing and was wondering how I would do this as everytime I install the stock rom it overwirtes the kernal.
First flash the rom via flashtool and then doomkernal via fastboot. The stock roms contains the stock kernal so you have to flash therom first

Flash the rom first.
Then flash doomkernel.
Then flash doomkernel's wifi modules (to enable wifi option)
thanks peeps
Im running completely stock (NO ROM INSTALLED). I do have my phone rooted and have twrp recovery. I would like to try this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261819 but I need to be able to put the kernel that i have right now back on in case things go bad. Can someone please tell me where I can get the stock kernel that I currently have?

The original boot.img might be in this stock Virgin Mobile ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321904
I used kies to go back to stock and then rerooted. when I tried to install a tw kernel I got a soft brick. Unlike a custom ROM you can not just do a recovery back to before so I am afraid to try another kernel till I know.
stock rom w/custom tw kernel

I have a rooted AT&T galaxy s3, rooted with a custom kernel. I also have twrp and have been able to do a backup (nandroid backup) of the stock rom with stock kernel and stock rom with custom kernel. Sounds like you made sure the kernel specifically states TW, so not sure why you had this problem but I have used it...did you install custom recovery ?
Where can I find the latest stock kernel? I have the stock rom and changed the kernel, but I'm having some USB OTG issues and wanted to go back to stock and see if that helped.

Download the latest factory image and extract it from the zip (it's "boot.img"). Then, just flash it using fastboot.
