Hello everybody on XDA,
I am new to flashing custom ROM's and I decided that I want Kitkat on my Xperia P.
Currently I have stock JB rooted with a Locked Bootloader.
I know I need to take the following steps:
Unlock my bootloader
Flashing/Fastboot the Kernel
Flash the rom with CWM
Flash the Gapps with CWM
Everything is clear to me how I should do it, except for fastbooting a Kernel.
I have looked on different threads with different kernels and they all seem like the have a different method of flashing/fastbooting it on my device.
So my questions are how do you flash/fastboot the CM 11 Kitkat Kernel by Percy_g2 for Xperia P?
There is a Newbies thread on installing Kitkat for Xperia U. Is the process the same for Xperia P?
Do I need to install CWM before I flash the Kernel or does it come with that Kernel?
Anything else I should know before attempting to install Kitkat (Tips or any important information I may have missed)

I wish to upgrade my stock GB ROM to Kitkat ..i have a xperia u st25i
i have unlocked the bootloader
flashed a kernel with root priveleges but has no clockwork mod integrated with it ...
now i am having a hard time in proceeding ahead , should i just flash a custom rom ? or go and flash a CWM ? what am i suppose to do
Hey everyone!
I just rooted my phone. Now I want to install a custom rom. I'm on stable miui rom 8.2.10 which is built on android marshmallow.
My question is, can I install a custom rom now, for example LineageOS 14 which is based on android nougat?
Thanks in advance
Greetings Benjamin

Yes u can. Install TWRP recovery first then the firmware (since u r on marshmallow u need nougat firmware), then which ever rom u prefer.

For installation of custom rom you need the following
device
unlocked bootloader
custom recovery like twrp
rom package , gapps , other stuff like root addon , volume mod , sound mod etc
working brain :silly:
patience:silly:
Now let me answer you . Download your desired rom package for your device . And simply flash the rom and other stuff through twrp . The rom installation process may vary a little bit but the standard process is to BOOT TO TWRP
WIPE SYSTEM ,CACHE/ DALVIK, DATA
FLASH THE DESIRED ROM + GAPPS(OPTIONAL) + OTHER STUFF ( OPTIONAL )
and now finally reboot to system . Voila you are good to go . Hope you got what you asked . Thank you
Edit : didn't saw the above Post
Yes you need to flash firmware before rom
Thank you guys!

Yes it is possible. Just do clean flash the device using Flashtool and flash the desired custom ROM.
