good day.

Good write up. Simple and to the point.

Ummm.......OK, what did I miss?

You kinda forgot the part about rooting the kernel...

LOL!!!
Hey I wrote this at about 7am!

First, this guide tells you how to use cwm to flash a kernel, not how to root it.
Second, there's a need for such a howto?

Simply put. Yes.

It is also recommended to let the phone sit right after first boot with the new kernel. Then do a reboot.

Install via recovery!?

Hi
I want to install a custom rom, however they say at the next custom rom: Install via recovery!
They mean the same here as how you would install the following custom rom:
So http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489
through Backup and Restore and then choose Restore.
Or they mean that you have to look to the .zip file on your SD, so as the next method.
what they mean exactly with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786871
So in a nutshell what they mean exactly with: install via recovery!?
Thanks

Sry but for flashing sbf you didn't need to gain to step 4 (is unnecessary) . Sbf-s is need to flash strait with RDS lite and if you have bootloop then enter in recovery and wipe data/cache and dalvik.

Installing blisspop

Is there a step by step procedure for installing twrp and blisspop on my e980? presently running the 20i firmware. Tried Flashify but it fails to install twrp. This phone has root but is carrier unlocked but has never been flashed so I am stumped. Any help appreciated

I had this same issue but with installing a recovery in the first place due to the locked bootloader and I couldn't find fixes.
But some info would be useful
1. What firmware are you on ex : Kitkat 4.4.2 etc - this can be checked in about phone option.
I used GPro recovery then flashed twrp via that using the unofficial cwm it installed file for the recovery at the bottom of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/root-bootloader-unlock-t3203573
Steps that may work
1. Enabled unknown sources in security
2. Installed the GPro apk file
3. Hit flash kitkat recovery for g pro
4. Moved the recovery.IMG file for twrp to /sdcard
5. Booted into recovery using the app
6. Flash the recovery.IMG file
What might work (worked for me)
1. Installed cwm using the above method steps 1-3
2. Get latest twrp.IMG (recovery.IMG)
3. Go into flashify
4. Hit flash recovery image
5. Hit choose a file and use your preferred file browser to navigate to your file
6. Hit flash now.
7. Reboot to recovery or normal reboot.
You can mix these two methods and try them differently as for blisspop
1.Get the .zip file
2.Boot into your recovery
3. Wipe System,cache,dalvik cache, and data.
4. Flash the .zip file.
5. Hit reboot to system
WARNING make a backup and check if the .zip is corrupted before booting into recovery
You can also Google methods for installing ROMs.
Hope I helped.
