Like title says,I'm wondering if its possible to dl a kernel,then just boot in recovery and flash a .zip file that way... I really only use adb when I have to. I'm lazy like that.

you need to unlock and s-off your phone for that.

I am now s-off. I like the stock set up but I'm wanting to take the ota w/o losing unlock,root,and s-off.
flash the new radio file then install myRom or any Rom based off the update and flash the boot.img in fastboot
If you are still completely stock besides recovery and having superuser, you can put the stock recovery back, select unroot in settings of superuser app and take the ota...then reflash custom recovery reflash supersu zip file

yeah but you loose s-off and you bootloader unlock if you do it that way. already made that mistake and had to ruu the original version. then re root, re unlock, soff it again, flash the new kern in fastboot, flash the radio in fastboot, then reflash recovery, then wipe my data and system and install a updated rom to get the update and all the perks(my rom is based off the update when i had s-on and did that upgrade)
ok lol I guess I'm wrong... Well I didn'thave soff when did the ota and couldn't achieve it with the update and had to ruu and soff it on original firmware then I applied the parts of the ota I wanted.

I think I got it. I'm using the Rom and kernel from your dl page.

Or maybe not. Hotspot is still broken. Says it turns on but nothing recognizes it. Not my pc,ps3,or my resound.

I'm also getting the occasional screen flicker as another user stated in another post. I'm looking into the problem but not finding much in the way of a solution.
