Unlocked Bootloader How to flash a kernel You have your Bootloader unlocked and you want to flash a custom kernel?
The easiest way to flash a custom kernel is using flashtool. Download flashtool from and install it. Now you go to the flashtool installation folder.
There you open the drivers folder and install the drivers. In the flashtool - drivers folder is the drivers installer Now you are ready to install a custom rom/kernel.
Let's start: You go to development section and choose a rom you want for your device. You download the rom and the kernel for your device (make sure it is the right for yours! Sometimes the kernel is included in the installation zip file of the rom. Now you have the boot.img or a kernel.sin or a kernel.elf and the rom You copy the installation zip file to your sd card. If that's done, unplug your device and turn it off. Now you have to put it in fastboot mode.
For that you hold the volume up key and connect it to the computer. The blue led will light up. Now you launch flashtool To install the custom kernel, we click on the flash and select fastboot mode Now there comes up the toolbox where we choose 'select kernel to flash' Now we have to browse to the kernel boot.img (or the kernel.sin/boot.elf) we want to flash Here's the log of flashing the kernel image.

How to flash the custom rom Now, you disconnect and power on your device and while it boots up, press volume down again and again. Then you are in clockworkmod. Now you select backup and restore and you backup your current rom. Then go on: See on the thread of the rom you want to install, what has to be formatted or wiped, for example: format /system format /data format /cache wipe data/factory reset etc You do this and then you choose 'install zip from sd card' 'choose zip' and you select the installation zip. There are 2 options: - It will install automaticly. It has Aroma installer. This is a setup assistant, which goes with you through the installation.
You will just have to choose your device and that you have an unlocked bootloader. You navigate with the volume up/down keys and select with the home button. After the installation has finished, you sometimes have to flash gapps (=google apps like playstore etc). You do this with the same procedure (install zip from sd card etc). After that reboot phone and enjoy 2. Locked Bootloader If you want to install roms on a locked bootloader, you'll have to root your phone (like and install clockworkmod recovery. For that you can do the following: Download 'cwm-autoinstaller' or now 'xparts' from playstore and it can install cwm automaticly.
Just select install clockworkmod! Now you go to development section and search for a rom for locked bootloader. YOU CAN'T INSTALL ROMS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ON A LOCKED BOOTLOADER!! You download the rom installation package (it's a zip file) and copy it to your sd card Restart your phone and while it restarts press volume down again and again. It will boot into clockworkmod. There you choose Backup and restore and you make a backup of your current rom After that you look in the thread of the rom you want to install, what has to be formatted or wiped (system or data or cache, etc).

You do that and after that you choose 'install zip from sd card' 'choose zip' and click yes to install. There are 2 options: - it'll be install automaticly - or it has aroma installer included. Then you choose your device and after that select locked bootloader. To navigate you use volume up/down and home to select.
After that just reboot and enjoy! The backup option in clockworkmod will be available by default and you don't have to backup your apps separately using titanium backup if you have backed up using clockworkmod. Normally you will not wipe system partition (it will be wiped automatically before flashing a custom Rom) if the Rom developer of the Rom you are going to flash has specified in his Rom thread to wipe one of the partitions, then you must do so. Gapps is just a flashable zip package containing all the google apps and services. You can download it from cyanogenmod site and flash it using clockworkmod after flashing a new custom Rom which does not have gapps by default (see the Rom's thread).

Yes it is by default in cwm. Go to backup/restore - backup and it will backup all!
If you restore after that you have the same system/data/cache/android secure like before. This is explained in the specific thread. For example in FXP Cm10 thread they say you should wipe data/factory reset before flashing the rom zip. But that's explained in the thread of the rom you like You flash the gapps like another rom, normally there's no need to do a factory reset after flashing them. But be sure you flash the right ones for your software version (gb=gingerbread 2.x.x, ics=ice cream sandwich 4.0.x, jelly bean 4.1.x).
