How to update to 4.4.2 with nonstock kernel and custom recovery - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Could someone help me out
I have an att 4.3 s3 with a kt747 kernel and cwm.
How can I update to 4.4.2?
Do I have to reverse the custom kernel and custom recovery?

Enewman17 has two threads in the General section for updating. Use one of those for best results. If you simply want the ota, you'll have to flash stock 4 3 firmware.

Hey Doc
I'm still having trouble understanding the threads. Do both the threads take you to kitkat? Could you help me out and link me to the correct thread?
in those threads neither mentions having a nonstock kernel. Does it matter?
Thanks!

If you take time to read them, it will answer all your questions. Yes, they're Kitkat and having a custom kernel is actually needed to flash through recovery.
I suggest you take time to read and understand what you're doing before actually doing it. All the info is in the General section, just gotta take the time.

[Q] Why doesn't the new Juggs 4.1 ROM have the newest modem in it?

Hey everyone, this is my first post... I've read through the entire Juggs ROM post in the development section of XDA, but I can't find anywhere why he doesn't include the newest modem in 4.1... Anyone have any idea why not?

I can try to find the exact reason, but I know flashing a modem with a rom has the chance of flashing incorrectly and going horribly wrong. Hence why the method is to just be safe and do it via odin. I will edit this post soon enough with the actual reason as well.

[Q] AOKP Build 40 Download?

I've gone to teh AOKP site but nothing is there. Just says read on about this build....
Link: I<I would post the link to the aokp build but new users can't>
Anyone able to help me find this?
Also, I've hear Rom Manager is unsafe to use for Rom Flashing so what about Rom Toolbox Pro?
I still have not installed my first Rom and I just want it to go well.
Also if anyone can point me to any other files needed for Build 40 AOKP I'd be greatful.
Cheers.
Make sure to read up before flashing a ROM. Make sure it is for your device.
If you have a sprint SGS3 go to original dev section and look for AKOP.

Ok I found the AOKP thread. I am not sure how to fully go about this. Is there a firmware I need for this? Also, could someone explain firmware to me as in do you need it for Roms? Do firmwares just change speed? What is their purpose?

Don't mean to sound like an a-hole but do a little search.

[Q] How do I relock my bootloader and install stock over my custom rom?

As the thread title suggests, I want to relock my Xperia S and install a stock rom so I can use SUS and PCC again to keep my phone up to date.
I searched around and found different ways to relock the phone and how to return to the stock rom, but it's just not clear to me yet what steps I need to follow or where I can find the roms/kernels to flash. To make it clear, I want to:
1. Remove my custom rom and custom kernel and return to stock rom and kernel.
2. Relock my bootloader.
There's just so many threads with so many different stock kernels/roms and it's making me so confused. If someone could tell me what steps I need to follow and link the threads I should be using, that'd be great!

I'm also asking me what to do if I want to keep my current installation. Remove CWM (how?), flash original kernel and then relock would be the steps to do, or? I tried this once by just flashing the original kernel and then locking the bootloader with flashtool but i had to do a repair installation with SEUS because my phone (LT26i) was constantly rebooting...

I was with CM10 and I reverted it to Stock ~ 1 month ago like this:
1. Relocked the BL following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159 (Many thanks, DooMLoRD!)
2. The phone sopped booting anymore. I believe it was because I was using version that requires unlocked BL and I relocked mine.
3. I flashed a stock .55 ROM
That's all ... after that it was working fine.
PS: be sure that you have a good stock ROM. I downloaded this one from somewhere: LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG_Generic_(1257-6921).ftf
Good luck!

Rom for N900T

Hi!
I'm getting a N900T soon and I was browsing the forum for good roms to put on it... I was surprised to see to find just one rom (gummy rom)! The rest I see in this section are few kernels and 2 recovery.
Is there any cm available?
Will it work with canadian wind with a custom rom?
Thanks

Im guessing since you took the time to post this that you are actually being serious. Look in the development section. not the original development section.
And this belongs in the Q&A.

Thanks, now I found the roms !!!

Can I flash the rom with CWM like with Galaxy Nexus or only with ODIN?

You can use Philz CWM or TWRP to flash. ODIN's needed to get back to stock...

if your bootloader/modem is nj1 , which i assume you mean by recovery , you cannot downgrade !! it will brick your phone. perhaps using a custom kernel would help.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
thx. in that area I can get a custom kernel with support nj1?

One thing to keep in mind is that there are custom TouchWiz kernel and custom AOSP kernels. Don't put a custom AOSP kernel on a TouchWiz ROM, or vice versa. You can sometimes find both kernels in the same post if a dev maintains both. So pay attention to which you download based on the ROM you are running.

Sure you can install a custom kernel.
The stock rom is a TouchWiz based rom, so you would want a TouchWiz (TW) kernel. You can find kernel threads in the dev subforum. I am using the kernel that came with my rom and have not experimented with it or any others. This leaves me with no recommendation as to what would be better for you. All I can say is read the threads and see which ones work with the stock ROM.
Have you check to see what is using the most battery during the times your phone is running hot? This may give you an idea of what is causing the problem.
