Follow the guide. When you flash a rom, kernel, modem - you overwrite the existing files. You don't need to worry about deleting anything. Follow the guide and you will be good.
Blue recovery is stock recovery. Red recovery is CWM.
Thanks! I don't use voicemail. I haven't set it up, EVER, and I've had this number for years and years. So, Should I factory reset before I even flash the kernel? And when I factory reset, I assume all the apps I had downloaded (except my new file manager) are on my sd card? do they just come right back onto the phone? or should I clear stuff off of my sd card?
As for starting fresh I assume ur still rooted there's an app in play store called Quickboot download it and you can reboot to recovery from there and do your factory reset
Well he said he was flashing kernel I figured after since he's on stock it would be easier than 3 button combo
if you ain't first you're last
