[Q] Updated ROM?

I feel like an idiot for asking this, so if it's been posted anywhere, please point me to it.
Do we have a rooted ROM available for 2.3.6? I noticed a significant battery life improvement with 2.3.6 over 2.3.5 before I rooted and could really use having that back again. I did some major digging but I can't find 2.3.6 specifically mentioned in any ROM downloads
Thanks!
+1 to this, but, the AT&T version it's out there, I was wondering, anyone knows if there's a 2.3.6 for Rogers ? Not a custom ROM, a Stock ROM.
is there a signed zip i can flash with 3e recovery ?
i cant use odin because the usb not work
so i have no chance to install CWM
but if i wanne flash the custom roms it say verification failed
By the lack of responses, I'm guessing nobody has rooted the update??

[Q] question about kernels

Hey all, I just have a few quick stupid questions after researching and not coming up with the answers............ Sorry if they have been answered before, I did search for ages before resorting to asking stupid questions
Can I flash a custom kernel onto a HTC ONE X with the stock ROM in place, without modifying the stock ROM?
From what I have found the RADIO is a part of the kernel??..... does this mean I need to find one to suit my country(optus AUSTRALIA) or am I able to flash the radio seperate?
Basicly, Im wanting to add the infamous sweep2wake by show-p1984 to my stock operating system
Thanks in advance
Bootloader
locked/unlocked?
Only possible unlocked
Stock rom
Rooted/Unrooted?
Only possible with root
CWM recovery installed yes or no
Only possible with cwm flashed?
but apart from that yes it can be done
Kernel is flashed seperate from the radio so no issues there
Im just now going through the motions of unlocking bootloader and recovery.... do I just go with the newest version of recovery?
(im following the for dummies guide)
By only possible with CWM flashed, do you mean CWM recovery? or it can be only flashed through CWM?
And im not to sure wether the factory ROM is rooted or not yet
NONO i mean clockword recovery installed..
U need to flash the kernel in fastboot....(bootloader mode)
Just keep on reading and follow ALL the steps
U`ll be alright ( and the stock rom is NOT rooted)
legend ! Thanks heaps, yeah definatly reading everything twice before going ahead

First off all, yes you are at the good place to ask questions:good:
Second, what is your phone model/provider? (Me i have an SGH-i317M with Telus)
Do you still want root?
If no, you can use kies to upgrade to 4.1.2. I did that, but I have loose root and my custom recovery.
So I have installed a new "stock" rom from this thread witch is already rooted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
After I installed Goomanager and I have flashed Twrp recovery.
And now I use this rom from miscom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
The stock rom was not enough for me because you can't use all app in multiwindow.
Hope that helped you

i have the same model num as u but without the m i have atnt so i can go to kies with my phone being modified and do the update and it wont fail well i went to kies and it says that my firmware is the newest 4.1.1 and i know its not lol well my concern with that stock rom from that thread is that it wont be the updated rom right??with multiview already on it or do i flash that rom then upgrade ??

this question is has to do with official 4.2.1 upgrade...

I have googled this question quite a few times but haven't found a real answer so here it is....I am currently rooted and running cm10.1.3 and I want to flash 4.3 ROMs but I'm not sure if I need to upgrade to the official 4.2.1 uvmc6 then reroot my phone in order for 4.3 ROMs to work correctly??? I did see somewhere that said about upgrading my recovery which is cwm 5. Something but its a touch version.. If someone could please shed some light on this process that would be great... I just want it done right so I don't screw something up.. Thanks in advance

Make a backup
Using Odin, install the latest TWRP Recovery
Reboot to Recovery
Make another backup (Once this is done, you can delete the one you just made, if you want to)
Flash 4.3 Rom
Flash 4.3 Gapps
Reboot
Enjoy
Or you can just flash twrp from the development thread.
yeah meekrawb made a flashable twrp 2.6.1.0 go search for it
Cool thanks you guys for the responses but I think I might go with Odin just to be sure nothing goes wrong!!
ODIN flashing increases your flash count. Avoid if at all possible.

4.4 Bootloader Update

Ok sorry I'm a huge noob, my Note 3 is already rooted, I've been running custom rom for a while.. I've been searching for hours but unable to find any clear answer. How in the world do I update my bootloader to 4.4?
What exactly do I have to flash in Odin? I've been unable to find any thread that specifically mentions updating bootloaders. Sorry for the noobness but I'm at my whit's end.
take the OTA update to 4.4 if your running 4.3 now. no need to odin anything
