Guidance needed after Root :)

there are couple of questions i want to ask and needing some sort of a guide although there are plenty here. I just want to clarify some points.
I already 'root'ed my fascinate through z4root and planning to install CWM.
Now after all of this, I looked at this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869990
the DJ05 is what I'm planning to 'flash' and there are 2 files under each category; Radio, Rom, and Kernel.
Does it matter which one to flash from the two listed on each category?
Also, is it required to have a kernel if I get the rom?
thanks guys! this will really help me a lot

You Needed to flash the radio in odin then both the rom and kernel in cwm. You don't have to use that kernel and rom combo though. I am running. Super dark rom and a voodoo kernel but that's just me. But you do have to run a compatible rom and kernel combo.

also, you should stay away from voodoo kernels until you do some proper research.

Question. There are two.links on the link I posted for each category; radio, rom, and kernel. Do I need to use the first or second? Also, do I need to have a kernel after I flash the rom

bumppppppp

Without looking at the post, they are probably just mirrors. Sometimes u get faster download from one over the other.

i don't really think so.. check this out.
Radio:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/adrynalyne/dj05modem.tar
http://backup.galaxysense.com/adrynalyne/dj05modem.tar
This gets flashed via Odin, in the PDA section.
System/rom:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/DJ05_stock.zip
http://backup.galaxysense.com/DJ05_stock.zip
This gets flashed via clockwork.
Kernel:
http://rom.galaxysense.com/1212_test_novoodoo_fascinate
http://backup.galaxysense.com/1212_t...odoo_fascinate
*one is ROM and one is backup. so do i use the first file?

Both links will download the same file. The second link is in case the server for the first link goes down.

Yep =) except for the kernel link... the first kernel is a non-voodoo kernel, second is voodoo so you can choose which you'd like to run =)

sorry for the late reply and th to those who helped me out
after flashing the Rom, is the Kernel optional to have?

Flashing firmware.

In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252855 people sharing the kernels with the rom updates. Do i need to flash kernel after i flashed the stock rom ? or is it added for people who are using a custom kernel ?

Hi,
Stock ROMS include kernels.
No need to flash separately.

Yeah that's what i thought too, but i am new with the s4 and saw those kernels serperated in the thread so i needed to ask.
Thanks for the answer :good:

[Q] SGY IMEI missing after flashing custom kernel

Hi all, as topic stated, my SGY after flashing no matter what kind of kernel (merruk, hell kernel) on stock ROM, my IMEI went missing. Is there any way to retrieve back? Or I should stay on stock kernel? (I DON'T want to flash any other ROM at the moment)

What kernel?

I tried merruk's kernel final 2.5 and Hells Fusion kernel. All my IMEI missing after flash. I am using stock SGY's ROM.

My idea is flash the latest firmware for your country.

You really don't get what i meant. Haha. What i mean is this:
*Flash latest stock firmware for your country.
*Then flash a custom kernel.
It worked for me. Good luck.

IMEI has nothing to do with SIM card. Whether you insert it or no. Already tried.

same problem here. IMEI missing. but it is still there. coz I checked with galaxy tools trying to get it back but then I clicked info, IMEI was there. but it is missing on the settings page. IMEI "UNKNOWN" and pressing *#06# says Imei=blank

what baseband are you using? if its ddmd1 then it does not support custom kernels because samsung messed up with the ramdisk. only kernel that supports ddmd1 is @Nitzz kernel

[Q] Help with ROM

As you guys may know, I recently downloaded the latest matriz mod by mathkid...do you think I need a ROM installed to use at its full potential? If so, which ROM should I install and do I have to re-install the kernel?

1. U don't have to flash another ROM if you are on stock ROM or another AOSP ROM
2. Feel free to flash any ROM u want all AOSP based Ron's should work with this kernel.
3. If u flash another ROM u have to flash the kernel again because the stock kernel of the ROM will be flashed as well.
BTW. Post this kind of questions into the Q&A forum for the N4.

So I'm on Stock ROM right now. I don't need to redo the installation process and just flash it at will? Didn't know you can flash multiple roms too...
what roms do you guys recommend with the most with matr1x kernel?

matrix is not a rom, it is a kernel. all roms include kernels, or your phone would never work. all you do is flash matrix over what you have now, and itll replace your current kernel with matrix. that is all, do not over think it, do not make it more complicated then it actually is. and no, no one can tell you what rom to run, it is only your personal choice and no one elses. there are roms in the development section, read their threads, then you decide.

I know matrix is a kernel, I'm saying which one would be the most appropriate to go with it. One more question: Whenever there's an android update and I have flashed a Rom and Kernel, do I have to redo the flashing process again? ex. Android 4.4.4
