Wanting to try a different kernel but wanting to go back to stock if it doesn't go well (stock kernel). I know how to flash a kernel but not sure how to get back to stock kernel.
Just flash the stock kernel like anything else.

Not sure exactly where to find that though. I believe also there is a difference between cm10 and sense kernel though, correct?
Also curious if since I've flashed a jb sense rom if my kernel also updated to jb kernel

You need a sense kernel for sense roms, and cm/aosp/aokp kernels for those roms.
Stock no-wp sense kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150219
Check About>Software information>More and it will tell you what kernel you're on.
If you flash a ROM, it will flash a kernel with the ROM. You can find that kernel in the ROM zip file (boot.IMG). Extract that file and flash it using fastboot to return to the kernel that was packaged with your ROM.

If hboot is <1.14 (or you are S-off), the kernel will just flash as the ROM. You can just dirty flash the ROM again.
If hboot is 1.14 or greater (and S-on), just extract boot.img and flash in fastboot as mentioned above. Kernel is part of boot.img.
Thanks so much for this info. I was going to post the same question
Question: Is the boot.img the kernel file? Thanks

Yes. But you can't flash just a boot.img in recovery. You would need fastboot for that. If you want the commands they're in the general stickies or I can post them here.

As I already said, the kernel is a part of boot.img.
There are other things in boot.img besides just the kernel:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images#Structure_of_boot_and_recovery_images
Although the terms boot.img and kernel are used nearly synonymously here. When "kernels" are posted, I think its always the entire boot.img package.
And in regards to your original question, it doesn't really matter.
To return to the stock kernel, just flash the stock boot.img.

Wait, no. I was misunderstanding you. The kernel has to be a flashable zip to be able to install from recovery. Otherwise, I think you are right, if you just have the boot.img, you need to install with fastboot.
I've noticed that some kernel only works with sense roms (ElementalX).
Say for example, i want to flash another rom without sense ui.
Do i need to reflash stock kernel first? Or flash the boot.img (kernel?) inside the new rom zip file?
Also the stock kernel from the link has two files. One is "installer" and the other is boot.img. I need to install the installer file thur Recovery, correct? And also flash the boot.img to go back to stock?
Thanks i'm such a n00b.

Sense requires a Sense kernel.
AOSP based ROMs require an AOSP kernel.
In general, you should install the kernel for the ROM that you are flashing. Some kernels may work over more than one ROM (do the research before you try it), but never a Sense kernel for an AOSP ROM, or vice versa.

One or the other, you don't need both. If you are hboot 1.14 or higher, I don't know if the installer way will work. The boot.img way (in fastboot) will work, no matter what hboot you are on.

I have rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM10, and then flashed the stock ROM. I had trouble downloading the ROM from samsung-updates.com, and found a page with a different link to a file of a different name, but a similiar size. The file name is:
HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I'm curious, has anyone else used this file? Is that the correct file to use? When flashing back to stock rom with that file, do you also get the locked bootloader, the original recovery, and lose root? It seems like it does, but wanted to confirm. Do I still need to flash the bootloader as provided in this post:

Forgive my ignorance, i've tried to do a few searches to answer my question but none have directly addressed it.
I recently rooted 2.20 successfully, installed CleanROM. If I want to flash a kernel, say cleanKERNEL, all I have to do is move the .zip onto the phone, boot into bootloader, and flash it that way? If I flash a kernel, will I loose all the customization I've done on the current ROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unclear on whether you can flash kernels with the new hboot in 2.20, but if you can, you flash it like anything else. It shouldn't affect the rom as long as they're compatible.

Oh right... It builds the boot.img on the fly when it is installed from recovery. I believe you need to try and flash the kernel zip file from recovery. It will fail since you have to 2.20 hboot, but it will create the boot.img in a temp dir somewhere on your phone, which you can copy to your pc and flash via fastboot.

1. place kernel on phone storage
2. reboot into recovery
3. install kernel from recovery
4. reboot
If there anything i am missing or if i am completely off could someone please help me out with this?

Not the firmware you are on now. The firmware you originally achieved root on. More importantly, what version is your hboot (go to hboot, and the version number is listed)?
If your phone was purchased with 2.20 firmware, and you rooted using the new X-factor exploit method, you have the 1.14 hboot.
Hboot 1.14 plugged the hole by which flashing kernels from recovery was possible. So it can only be done by fastboot.

Well, If cleanROM is using the same Kernel as stock, then you got lucky. If they use the same kernel, no need to flash boot.img.
If they are different kernels and you dont flash boot.img, you are now in a bootloop

not bad
Sorry for so many questions lol, just making sure i do this right.
okay so basically i want to download the kernel and the fastboot drivers posted in your post.
Extract the fastboot drivers, and then unzip the kernel, taking the boot.img from it and placing it into the fastboot directory that i just unzipped.
I then want to boot my phone into hboot and select fastboot
open the command prompt and take it to where the fastboot.exe is.
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img into the command prompt
After all this is done i want to go into recovery and flash the zip of the kernel?
Is that all right?

Thank you.R
I'm also, learning as I go. From reading and multiple failed attempts at flashing ROMs and kernels, I have found the correct way with 1.14 Hboot.
-dl the rom/kernel
-extract only the boot.img file
- save both .zip and boot to your desired folder.
-go into recovery and mount sd card to pc
-transfer .zip file to your phones sd card
-get back into fastboot on your phone
-transfer boot.img to fastboot folder
-from fastboot cmd prompt(if you have win7, open your folder with fastboot in it hold shift+right click and open cmd)
-type "fastboot boot boot.img" without quotes
-go back into recovery and clean cache/delvik
-then install .zip that you copied to the sd card
You should be good to go from there.
If I have left anything out, please feel free to correct.

Now that S-OFF is coming for the VilleC2, here's a simple way to flash a new kernel from recovery without the need of fastboot. Developers can just integrate it into their ROMs to make flashing easier.
Just replace the boot.img inside the .zip with the boot.img you want to flash using WinRAR/7zip etc.
If you need any libs installed, just create a /system directory and put what you need inside it.
Note that this will only work on S-OFF VC2 devices (unless your device uses the same boot block).

Hi,
Only the boot.img is enough?
Because: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47583830&postcount=2.
Franco's kernel changes these system files below, so to change them back you can remove the .bak extension, or fastboot system.IMG and boot.IMG from a Google factory image which is probably easier and faster.
1 - Rename /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so.bak to /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so
2 - Rename /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh-bak to /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh
