Need Help Finding Stock Kernel - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just recently flashed my Transformer (B70 / TF101-B1) to TestyMeh ICS Overclocking kernel ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568932 ) And things are freezing so I would like to revert back to my stock kernel...and I made a huge mistake of not backing up the stock kernel since this is my first time with an andriod device.
Is there a particular database or area where I can find a stock kernel and revert back to everything to stock? Right now I have the device rooted with overclocking kernel above, and I'd like to revert everything back to the stock settings and start fresh.
Thanks

You can download stock kernel/firmware from ASUS.

I thought it was only a software update/flash? Would it revert back to the stock non-overclocking kernel if I install this?
Edit: The software update reverted back to stock!
Thank you very much!

Not really "stock Kernel" as a stand alone package..
true it's Stock Rom/Kernel, but even the link..
http://support.asus.com/download/do...anguage=en-us&model=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101
is source only.. not a flashable file..
Just clarify this encase someone downloads and try's to flash this file..

Restoring to stock OS

If I restore to the stock OS, will it replace the Imoseyon 4.0 kernel or will I have to do that manually? I know im going to have to turn off voodoo before doing so, but otherwise im not sure.

If you flash a full stock Odin, it will replace everything, kernel included. If you follow the instructions in the Fix Your Phone thread, it will even repartition everything clean as well, though that's probably not necessary unless you're having boot issues.

Many thanks, I will do this later. Unit is to be returned.

Any idea where to get a stock UK ROM from ?
And a stock Kernel. Or can I do that inside Revolver Tools. Before the ROM flash ?

[Q] get back to stock kernel?

I need to get back to stock kernel for tf101.
Currently i'm running 8.5.6.13-root-cwm and clemsyn kernel version 22
and i'm looking to move to a stock .19(root+cwm) then move on to ICS using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438433
where can i find the stock kernel i need and what is necessary to install it?
have a look here:
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=ASUS/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/ROMS/
especially in folder "stock rom by gee one"
Thank you, This will be very helpful!
This is still very helpful but i can only see that it has the ICS roms. looking for the HC rom that includes stock kernel, or stock kernel stand alone if either exists

Hi Finky,
because you have CWM already installed, I think you can just flash an ICS stock rom or custom rom.
for US read this:

Make sure you read the threats because .21 has root problems, but make sure you install OTA root keeper.....in the developers forum are also CWM version of .17 that is rootable....read well before starting.
goodluck....

So if i were to flash an ICS rom or HC rom, it will overwrite kernel and set it back to stock kernel?
Also i have made some system apk changes awhile back, would those be an issue?
Finky,
I just read the two threads, and it seems that every one with a custom kernel has problems. So, seems you just have to follow the thread that you put in your 1st post to make sure you get ride of your custom kernel.
Or, you can cwm flash the revolver rom (has the standard kernel of ICS inside) or one of the other custom roms (I use Revolver). that way you have ICS although it is custom. maybe that is some thing for you to do....or you want asus rom?

[Q] JB update and custom kernel

Hi all,
I'm sorry about my stupid question but I really don't know nothing about that . I had rooted and flashed my NS and installed the matr1x kernel (very good btw), and now I knew that JB will be available to NS. My question is, need I back to stock kernel to receive the update?
Thanks

You have to understand that installing an OTA (official update) on a rooted device regardless of what kernel can cause problems, as it did with my Nexus S before. I suggest you make a NANDroid backup at all times before you install any ROMs, official or Custom. You can also use Titanium backup and others.
There's still a slight while until the new JB 4.1 comes out. It's suggested that you install a Custom JB 4.1 ROM for your Nexus S as though you don't cause any problems. I think it's OK if you do it with the kernel pre-installed. But people always install the Custom ROM THEN they install the Kernel, I think installing a new ROM always overwrites the kernel, if it comes with it.
EDIT:
In short, wait for the JB Custom ROM and you don't have to revert back to stock kernel, when you do the update it will automatically overwrite. Most Custom ROMs come with Stock/ordinary kernels. So then the user can flash whatever kernel they like in your case, matr1x.
Wish you the best of luck, and I am waiting for the Nexus S JB to come out as soon as possible
Ota binary patches the boot image iirc. So it can get all messed up.

I didn't any backup before flashing a new kernel :crying:, so what can I do now if I want my stock kernel back?? What's a NANDroid (I know that is a tool but how can I do it?) ? Is Titanium bkp easily?

I prefer wait for stock JB Rom and probaby I'll , but, can I already find some JB ROM?

A NANDroid backup is a internal memory backup. You can create one by booting into Recovery (Power off your phone and Hold Power and Down on your volume buttons.) If you rooted your phone and unlocked your bootloader (that's what you had to do to flash a new kernel), you should be able to load ClockworkMod or TeamWin Recovery and do a backup of your phone.

There's one rom but it's a port from the SDK and the amount of major bugs is high so it's not recommended but you could try another custom rom meanwhile, I can't go back to stock after trying custom roms, like AOKP and Cyanogenmod 9. Make sure you backup your apps and some settings (not everything will be compatible between stock and custom so pay close attention to which system setting you'll backup) with Titanium Backup.
To sum it all up for you
There's a Jelly Bean release which is unstable and has no sound, and will not be fixed until the REAL version comes out.
NANDroid backs up the whole internal memory on the phone including the system, it can be done from clockworkmod recovery.
Titanium backup, backs up specific settings and information that you choose, available from the playstore.
You don't need to unroot or go back to a STOCK kernel in order to flash a CUSTOM ROM. DO not however flash a STOCK rom after rooting, as at times that can cause problems.
If you want to go back to a STOCK ROM after rooting a device, there's a way, check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
and choose your Nexus S model: To acquire model, go to Settings - About - Baseband version. if it says I9023 at the start that's your Nexus S's model
Choose one of the Fastboot Stock ROMs and use the Fastboot method to flash the ROM. That is a good way to go back to STOCK ROM if anything bad happens
By the way you should expect the new OTA official 4.1 update for the Nexus S to be on your model's page.
NOTE: Using Fastboot to flash a ROM is very clean. However this will delete all your data and if you do everything correctly will lock your bootloader and unroot your phone. So use Fastboot only when you really feel the need to.
Cheers
and stay tuned for Jelly Bean :victory:

That means, when I receive the official 4.1 update notification, I should unroot my phone first and just install it after?

OK first off, do not install the update using the system update method from about, as that is a 100% stuff up if you're still rooted or on a Custom ROM.
However to update I think flashing a stock ROM but USING Clockworkmod works fine!
Someone please confirm, as I am not 100% sure
However what I am sure about is that if you run into any troubles installing your STOCK ROM using Fastboot is very very good and clean, however there are 2 things:
1. You will wipe everything COMPLETELY
2. You need the ROM to be in a fastboot format kind of way for you to flash it
There's a guide and everything for fastboot.

Personally I will wait for a custom ROM for 4.1 if it doesn't take too long as that's guaranteed and will obviously be faster and safer to install on a ROOTED device.
Someone still confirm if installing Stock ROM while over Custom ROM while ROOTED through CWM is OK or not!?
Hummm, ok...
I'm already using the Stock ROM, I just flashed a new kernel, and I prefer install the stock kernel and unroot my phone. Just to let it clean.
After I install the JB official update, maybe I flash and root again, depends of Google :laugh:
Do you know where can I download a trust official 4.0.4 kernel from the forums? My phone is a Nexus S I9020AUCKJ1, Version Number: IMM76D
Thanks!!!

do you still have stock rom? or custom.
If you still have stock rom do a manual update ( download it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-nord-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4138085/). That should bring everything back to stock, including kernel

I would like to flash only the kernel, without doing anything else. Because I have rooted device and custom recovery and don't have a PC or a laptop.
