If u are S-ON u have to flash the kernel Manually from fastboot......

Did u do that last time........?????

You do NOT need to be S-off, and there is absolutely no need to flash the boot.img or kernel separately. But Unlocked is necessary, also latest TWRP recovery is required.

As always, do a Nandroid of your current ROM.

GPE is a different matter, though. I am not familiar with GPE ROMs as I never tried them. The One with Sense is too good to miss! But not relevant as both ROMs you mentioned are Sense ROMs!

Oh, so if i want flash 4.4 must use twrp 2.6.33 or latest recovery rite?
i never do nandoid, but i got keep old rom in internal storage.(need do nandroid next time.)

I just flash stock rom, because love sense and dislike GPE rom interface.

Because the recovery was not yet adjusted.

You should do regularly a Nandroid...it is easy enough, and keep it on the internal storage.

For now, flash the latest TWRP recovery in fastboot mode, then flash any Sense ROM, and boot up first into it to check that all is good., then do another Nandroid of the now successfully booted Sense ROM. (OTG cable and USB drive come in handy here as you can Nandroid directly to external storage, or to have a collection of different Nandroids to free up internal storage space, as well as added security as you can always flash also a ROM from USB drive should things go wrong!)
After that you can try different kernels if you must.

I am running InsertCoin 7.0.5 with ElemntalX 10.4 for several weeks now and this combination has fantastic battery performance as well as it is totally stable!

hardstuffmuc · Jan 10, 2014

No settings, all default!

Grobsen · Jan 10, 2014

I'm on Viper 4.2.0 with ElemntlX with s2w and dt2wake
No Problems so far and great battery life.

If you get bootloops try "fastboot erase cache"
