If it does, it wont be cl14 anymore because cl14 includes a new SBL to be flashed into the BML2 partition and a Recovery Kernel to be flashed into the BML8 partition... Those partitions are READ ONLY except in odin flashing mode, so even if they could get the phone to update via OTA (which they would never do without a proper recovery console which is part of the cl14 update) they couldn't write to the bml2 and bml8 partition because as far as we can tell (and we have been looking for a way) there is no way to force those partitions writable EXCEPT FOR ODIN... So even if they could get the data to download on the phone, they have no way to get it into that partition... Furthermore, a bad SBL flash (which can happen) will render the phone 100% inoperable unless you remove the rom chip and manually write to it (meaning they have to replace the phone)...
The reason Zefie's kernel doesn't need the cl14 sbl is because we don't put a recovery kernel in bml8 (that is where all the goodies are stored like busybox).. We just replaced the cj05 "recovery" mode with a modified one
This is why if you try to boot Vol UP + Call + End the phone gets all screwy.. it tries to use the recovery kernel in bml8 and there isnt one there
