Hi guys, I'm currently running Omega ROM atm. However up until this point I have only been flashing custom roms/kernels. What is the best way for me to update my bootloader?
Thanks!

By flashing the latest stock rom. But why would you even want to update the bootloader? My advice would be to NOT update your bootloader.

hey just a quick question, i've upgraded to 4.2.2 and i like it, i rooted, installed twrp and was already unlocked. but i was wondering, with this update comes a new bootloader, are current custom roms and kernels compatible with this bootloader? I wouldnt mind being able to go back to smooth rom or clean rom inheritance.
thanks in advance

i think they are, in the franco.Kernel thread there are many users reporting that franco.Kernel works in 4.2.2
Are there any custom roms that you can flash from custom recovery that will update the rom, bootloader, and radio?

Only if you flash a rom that is newer than the one you have, like flashing from stock or custom 4.2.1 to custom 4.2.2 rom.
Hi guys.
I was wondering, I unlocked my nexus' bootloader, and rooted my phone, on version 4.2 JWR66Y. I previously owned a Xperia Arc, and when new upgrades hit, I had to completely wipe and flash the new rom. How is the process in the nexus 4 when kitkat hits it? Will I see an OTA which I need to accept? Will I see an OTA which I of course have to decline? I won't be seeing any OTA, have to manually flash the rom?
Thanks in advance

You will see the OTA. You will be able to download it, but if you have a custom recovery, you'll have to manually flash it.
Does anyone know, is it possible to flash a Cm 11 type rom, after we have upgraded to the Samsung 4.4.2 firmware with the new bootloader?
Are we able to flash the currently available roms, or do we need to wait for them to make changes to the kernel etc
Many thanks in advance

Cannot flash CM roms currently due to them being based on MJ7 bootloader. Need to wait to see *if* they update for new bootloader.. but seems unlikely at the mo.

Has the situation changed? Is there some way I can check?

Yes. Check cm11 thread
Hi im wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I just flashed Omega rom 7.0 with no problems but then i flashed the new bootloader using Odin and it was successful too but for some reason when i check the bootloader version its still the old one.
I figured it out. Make sure to power down completely first and then boot into download mode and then flash thru Odin that way.

What is all about that new bootlader? Do I need to flash it? What has changed?
Thank you!
If you want to use the stock kernels you have to flash the new bootloader. Things like screen casting to a smart TV can only be done with stock kernels.
