I just unlocked my boot loader and was wondering how do you install a custom kernel. I have searched for a thread about it but I wanted clear instructions. Also can you tell me what you think is the best kernel and rom combo? (For r800x CDMA)

The only cdma kernel is Doomkernel.

Before flashing a kernel i want to make sure i get everything right so i dont mess up my phone. Do i flash the kernel first or the rom and what is the baseband someone told me you need to flash this as well and if so where do you get it?

Kernal before rom always baseband is your network. Most of the time the roms o.p will have a link to download the baseband which you will flash after you install the rom
So its flash kernal using fastboot install rom using clockwirk mod recovery then turn phone iff enter flashmode and flash baseband should be good to go
P.S FLASHTOOL is your best friend

Order doesn't matter, just phone won't boot if kernel and rom are not same android version, fixable by doing the other steps

So I am about to root my phone but first I have to flash the r800at to the older .270 update. Do I have to worry about breaking anything? Also once it is rooted what are some things I can do or add to my phone?
Bump. Can someone let me know if there is anything I need to do or be aware of?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a new kernel. Only with root you can install some custom roms
There is allways a chance to damage your phone when you flash something, but if you follow carefully the flash steps you have a high chance to root your phone without any problem

Yes I do have a locked bootloader. So instead should I flash a custon kernal then root? I was looking into doomkernel and that looks nice. Does it have some instructions for installing it safely? Also is that the best one for the AT&T version of this phone?
You MUST have a unlocked bootloader to flash a new kernel or you'll brick your phone
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
Oh my bad. So is really the only thing I can do is flash the .270 version and just rooting?
Yes. If you want to change the rom with a locked bootloader you need root acces

Sorry if I'm spamming.
So I flashed my kernel to a ics format. Lupus. But I tried flashing my kernel to a JB format so I can flash to a JB rom. The problem is I can't get my phone into fastboot mode. I was told to flash back to .62 baseland. Question is how do I do that? Please any help will do.
Thanks in advance.

Use flashtool, drag the ftf into flashtool, untick all except baseband and flash it.
This won't lock my boot loader back up right? Oh and thanks for the reply
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
No it won't. This will just change your baseband.
thanks i really appreciate it

I need help guys, I installed lupus http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1849536
But the recoveries won't load, they are stuck at loading screen, both cwm and twrp.
I have flashed the enhanced firmware via flashtool before recovery.
Does anyone have Doomlord v14 kernel img for me ? can't download it from the thread!!
Have flashed firmware again with flashtool, have OS but no working recoveries..
Got root, x-parts recovery doesn't work for me
Do you still have root? If you do give me a few to upload an apk that will install a recovery just for Xperia line I used it a lot when I had a locked bootloader

I do have root so if you could do that, that would be soo helpful.
My bootloader is unlocked, but with that recovery I can flash a rom.
I think the rom i will flash has a kernel + recovery, is that a bad thing?

Oh that's okay, well as far as I know there is LupusGB and Doomkernel which are suggested in the rom thread. LupusGB doesn't work for me, and Doomkernel cannot be downloaded anymore..
What are you suggesting? I'm not familiar with this phone, just got it a few days
