It depends, you only have to flash bootloader and modem when switching to or from marshmallow...

[Q] Stock rom with custom kernel

Hi guys,
Is it possible to flash a custom kernel with stock rom (4.0.2) that is rooted?
Thanks in advance.
The kernel will have to be 4.0.2 compatible, but yes you can do it.
I have some question on this thread, If I flash the custom kernel to stock rom, when the new stock rom update launch, How do I got the update.
thanks,

No. You will have to flash back the stock kernel for the update to install automatically.

The stock kernel is part of the boot.img file in the factory images. Extract it for the version of Android that you are on, and flash it.

[Q] eXistenZ v2 Error 7

Hi guys i have a problem when I instaling the eXistenZ v2 on LT26. I rooted my phone i have recovery and when i install a rom have error nr 7 in revovery, any ideas?
Flash the kernel file from the rom itself
Try flashing the kernel from the rom itself bro this works most of the time Extract it first from the zip file of the ROM you want to install then install the kernel usually it is the boot.img file Flash it via fastboot mode using flashtool then voila you have the kernel of the ROM you want to use and most of the time the recovery comes with it too :good:

Are You on stock firmware? Existenz requires You to be on stock 6.2.b.1.96 firmware. Also, You have to flash v1 and then flash v2, not the v2 directly.

Do check, this ROM is stock based, so it doesn't have a separate kernel.
I flashed witth stock 6.2.b.1.96, and try to flash V1 witch recovery v6.0.3.0 but still error ''Error in /sdcard/xperia_s_existenz_v1.zip (status 7)'' Maybe try with other kernel?

Huh, weird. Just to verify, could You try downloading the v1 again? Or else, do You have a unlocked bootloader? If yes, then You can flash the DoomKernel.
Yes, i downloaded rom again, and i have lock bootloader witch no posibly to unlock 'allowed-no'' something like this, but this rom can be flash without unlocked bootloader.

Well, since You have a locked bootloader, You can't flash other kernels. Try this recovery, If even this one doesn't work, then try going back to full stock(no root, no recovery) and root using DoomLord's method and try above recovery again as it had worked for Me earlier.

This is waaaay late but, may help someone.
As I understand it, this is an issue with the kernel/recovery you have. You need to flash a boot.img with a combined kernel/recovery that is compatible with the rom you wish to flash. You use fastboot for that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
So, for official CM11, grab boot.img from the rom zip file and you should get (a rather old but fine for CM11) CWM recovery.
For many other Acro S (hikari) roms you find - e.g. @deedwar's BeanStalk - you will get TWRP recovery if you flash the included boot.img file.
Once you've got the kernel/recovery flashed, then you flash the full rom after the reboot.

I think You didn't notice, but He said He has locked bootloader. So He cannot follow the procedure You mentioned.

Yes, this is for unlocked bootloader only.
Just noticed OP mentions a locked bootloader in a later post.

How do I Upgrade My Modem from PD1 to PF3?

I haven't done anything to my phone since I Unlocked my Bootloader, Upgraded to MM and Unlocked again, then installing PaulPizz from July (it's an outdated version, I know).
The thread I used to put on MM, put on the PD1 modem. I need to upgrade to PF3. I don't see a thread on how to do it Can someone explain to me how that works? Do I need to re-flash the full firmware and re-unlock or just the modem file? Please provide detailed instructions. Thanks.
Just download the partial update from here and flash via ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67481370&postcount=1403
Note you are flashing a kernel as well so you may have to reflash whichever kernel you prefer.
BTW I'm still running Jasmine 6.0

If you're presently on a unlocked and rooted rom this will not lock the boot loader or require reroot.

I'm going to need better instructions.
I downloaded N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.md5.7z
Extracted it via 7zip
Booted into Download Mode
Connected my cable to my computer
Started Odin
Clicked AP, loaded N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.md5
Clicked START
It Failed.
Can you help me?
EDIT: OK, this is odd. It failed the first time and went through the second time. It worked. Thank you, @freduser .
No problem
Aren't pd1 and pf3 the same thing?

What about that thing called anti rollback? Im afraid to brick the device.
Good question .. and do you still recieve OTA updates for the official rom if you unlock the BL ?

You don't have to worry about antirollback..
Your device will be bricked if you try to flash 9.5.17 or older version
But you can flash any MIUI ROM from 9.5.19 and newer
Antirollback doesn't apply to custom ROM
Just keep two things.
Flash latest Miui ROM
Flash custom recovery (first boot into recovery and then flash recovery from recovery)
Wipe everything
Flash custom ROM
Flash gapps
Thats all
Do not flash any older firmware. Your device will not be bricked a long as you are flashing latest available miui ROM

MiFlash or fastboot are the usual ways to flash stock images.
