Noob question, since I have not been really into custom kernels and now planning to give it a try.
After flashing and using a custom kernel, is there a way to get back to stock kernel? How?
Are there special precautions when going back to stock? Like things that can brick my phone since it's already BL unlocked?
Also, can I extract my phone's current stock kernel? (So I can play with the splash screen. )
Just use flashtool to flash back stock ftf...

Hi everyone. I just had a quick question, since I am on a custom kernel. When ics is released ota for my phone, what happens? Will I have to go back to stock? If so, how?

u have custom cmw and custom kernel i think u gonna have problem update OTA...my advice to u stay a way from the update when it starts check back here devs gonna tell u what to do ..espcially if u like ur phone rooted ...
I want ICS as fast as possible. Could I go back to stock and then update? I don't mind losing customizations, if I get ICS!

Yep. Think about it. We all started with stock on GB and then flashed rooted..however..it's better to wait for root..
Would Clockwork Recovery cause problems with the ota update? I just remembered that I have a stock nandroid backup.
If I have to get rid of Clockwork Recovery, how would I go about that?
When ICS is released, I'd wait until someone roots it before installing it. I'd ignore any 'ufficial' update and do everything through CWM.
In my opinion:
Custom ROM > Stock Rooted ICS > Official ICS.
So let me try and get this right...I'm on fd26 stock rooted in order to flash a new ROM all I have to do is flash a GB kernel and not go back to GB fully, and if I wanna flash just a theme then I just use el29 kernel also is this correct? If not what are the steps I take to flash a new ics ROM from stock rooted fd26??? Thank You in advance!!!

You have to flash the el26 CWM kernel (if you're on an ICS rom it won't boot because it's a GB kernel) then boot into recovery and you can flash stuff that way. If you do a theme, be sure to flash an ICS kernel after flashing the theme so it will boot normal again. Roms have kernels in them already so you don't have to worry about them.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25017238

Honestly what you have to do is read the OP fully and do whatever is asked of you in there to make sure your phone is upgraded properly. Making new threads asking questions that may give you multiple answers may only confuse you further. I assume if you have to still ask this question with the amount of how to not brick and safe way to flash threads then you are still a little confused.
Best way to not have a paperweight is to follow whatever the OP's thread info to the letter. what rom you trying to flash

Yeah all I have done is went from stock to stock rooted and I have stayed stock rooted that's easy for me using the PC version of odin. I just wanted to start flashing new roms I have read all the posts and realize how not to brick I was simply wanting to know what would be the easiest way to go from stock rooted fd26 to like blazer ROM our mijjaz the goodness as I have not flashed using cwm recovery before...

Hi all,
This has probably been answered a few hundred times, but I really want to be 100% sure I don't brick my phone. Today I got the new FF18 update and then rooted it and put CWM+Agat on it using QBKing77's awesome videos.
My understanding is that I can now flash between ROM's in CWM just like I used to do in Gingerbread and not worry about bricking it. That is, assuming I don't use a "TW" ROM (not sure exactly what that is) like AOKP or CM. Is that true?
If I want to flash Blazer ICS onto my phone, I can just copy it onto the SD card and install it from recovery? Or do I still have to do the whole EL26 thing?
Only other question I have: if I want to put Calkulin's ICS ROM on my phone but still use FF18, how would I do that? I love his GB ROM and used it for months with no issues.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can flash roms with the safe kernel. Just make sure that you flash the safe kernel back on if the Rom erases it before you flash something else. On the calk question you would flash his from then the safe kernel if I understood you correctly.

Hey thanks a lot, I probably would have missed reflashing the safe kernel! Much appreciated.

Hello i have a simply question about returning to stock.I want to go back to stock so that i can do the Rogers OTA for JB, im currently on Kyan Rom 1.5 with ktoonsez kernel. My question is if i flash a stock rogers rom via odin will that flash back the original wifi and bluetooth drivers? Any help would be much appreciated.
Flashing back to stock via Odin will replace everything, including your recovery.

Yes it should flash back everything. Just make sure you do a factory reset from 3e after the install just to be on the safe side and to get rid of left overs. All should be fine after so.
Ok might be a dumb question but how do you get in the 3e recovery on stock?

Im thinking about it. Because im using my note just like normal phone. Im not playing any games or using apps for rooted phone. Basically I would like unroot my phone to save my warranty. Because phone is few weeks old. Thats why im asking can I flash different region stock fw?
Well as said in numerous posts that if you've rooted phone now it's possible to manipulate it and bring the phone into warranty if you see Dr. Ketan post it has explanation.
Anyways if u want to unroot u can go ahead and do it but suggest install ur own region fw.
Dr. Ketan post has step by step instructions on how to unroot it.
