I flashed this kernal just because I could after unlocking the bootloader.
Now I would love to have the bone stock option to flash back to as the sprint kernal is raping my battery.....
anyone have a flashable stock kernal for updated firmware??

There is one floating around the forums, or you can flash the entire image but once again....ALWAYS..ALWAYS..ALWAYS make a backup before flashing anything.....

Hi -
first post - but I've been reading a lot.
I've rooted my xoom wifi us version, installed tiamat 2.1.0 rom and the tiamat 2.1 kernel - so far so good.
been playing around a bit, and was wondering if I can go back to the stock 3.2 Rom.
I'd like to remain rooted, and plan on still running the 2.1 kernal after I go back to the stock rom.
Is this possible?
can you point me to the right thread? or at least the right search terms, because I cant seem to find anything.
Flash official images. Get ota's and install them. Reroot/flash kernal etc.
I thought if I was rooted, then I can't flash the official image since the OTAs would not work?

No...once you flash the original stock images you will no longer be rooted. You will still be unlocked, just not rooted.

If you use the stock images, you will need to use fastboot.
I am new to the Charge but not rooting and Android. I came from the DX so the way things are done in this thing are different. Here's my question:
I am currently rooted and running a rom with a custom kernel. If I use Odin to flash the official software, will I also need to replace the kernel separately or will flashing the official software also restore the original kernel?
You will not need to replace anything, the Odin package is all in one. It will put you back to bare stock which means ROM, kernel, recovery, modem, you name it.
If you wouldn't mind helping could you link me to a rooting guide on a DX? Some general tips on rooting it would be very appreciated. My dad has one and I'd like to root/ROM it for him but i don't feel like studying up >_< Thanks!

Odin will replace everything, including your kernel.
Thanks for the response. I got confused because I saw posts saying that some kernels were interchangeable but I didn't know if they meant that you would have to flash the kernel after you flash the rom or if you just flash a new rom and the kernel remains. Appreciate the response.
You have to flash kernal only on cmw versions and not all of them read the pre requisites it will tell you if the cwm version either do not or do.have a kernal included for example humble 5 cwm version I.believe u.have to flash a kernal prior to rebooting or stock recovery will over write cwm happened to me and learned my.lesson the hard way !!!

Okay...so flashing the stock file will also get rid of CWM, right?
Has someone able to produce a Stock 2.3.6 Odin flashable tar? In the dev section it appears that the thing has been rooted and some removal has been done on the OTA update. There is a placeholder for the Stock 2.3.6 ROM, but it appears the person never got around to it.
Or, is it not possible yet or leaked yet? I am really looking for CWM flashable radios.
There is a stock 2.3.6 rooted rom right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361144

Yes, I saw that. But it is "not" stock, i.e. it does not get me back to the factory baseline. I need to be rooted/ROM manager to install this and it is pre-rooted. So if I "unroot" + "install stock recovery" would this take me back to Stock "2.3.6"?
Thanks..
Im on synergy v1.3 and if i want to go back to stock do i only flash the stock rom in pda??? on the android development section for this phone they have a direct download and a kernel download ..will i need to flash the kernel download too? im not using a custom kernel(i dont think synergy has one yet). There is nothing wrong with my phone but just in case something goes wrong i need to know what to do.

Yes, all you need to do is download the stock verizon rom for this phone onto your computer and Odin back to stock using PDA. Only use the PDA section in Odin. If you didn't change kernels then you don't need to flash the kernel, because the kernel is already the stock one. You can use custom kernels on Synergy. I'm using a custom kernel on synergy 1.3. What I did was downloaded the verizon ez recovery app from the play store, give it root permissions when you open it. Included in that ex recovery is a few different recoveries including CWM and TWRP and invisibleks v2 kernel. You can flash a kernel using that program. You simply just select the kernel and hit flash and then reboot recovery. The only downside is that when you flash a kernel you lose your recovery. But since you have the easy recovery, you just flash a recovery and you'll get a recovery back. Its really simple and awesome! I'm using Imoseyons Lean kernel v12 and it allows over clocking to 1.9! And under locking as well. I'm getting phenomenal battery life.

It shouldn't matter if you have a flashed a custom Kernel. Just Odin the stock ROM
Also if you want to go completely back I believe you will also need to flash the stock recovery and possible the flash counter.
Anyone know where I can find the stock VRBMB1 kernel? Was playing around with custom kernels but rather just go back to stock.

If it's a kernel, just reflash the ROM to get stock kernel.
I flashed stock i ver custom kernel and wifi wouldn't work anymore. Flashed diffrent custom and wifi works again....
