Have a friend I'm trying to help out, he flashed the ktweaker kernel and it's giving him fits, I'm trying to help him get back to a stock kernel. I have done a ton of searching, but I've come up empty looking for a a flashable zip file of a the stock kernel for the build he's running, vrbmd3.
Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!
So, failing the availability of a flashable stock kernel, would the best bet be to reflash an entire ROM?

With a little of trial and error you can now flash any modem whether it be FC09 or FC19 or any other modem without odin! How you ask?!?!?! with a little renaming and rezipping youll be on a ns4g modem or a epic 4g modem without ODIN!!! And noone likes ODIN lol
All you have to do is flash the modified kernel then reboot recovery into the new recovery and then my zip either the FC19 or FC09 modem in cwm with the rom its meant for then either flash your kernel again say your on cm7 flash the modified kernel flash the modem then reflash your kernel like shadow or nyan same thing for cm9 or cm10 just make sure you have another kernel to flash so it will boot this is the only way i have figured out OR you could flash this Kernel then install the modem then after you install just reflash your rom and gapps for a fresh install. if your on cm9 you can keep the kernel installed but if your not after you get done installing the modem install the correct kernel for your rom
For Epic 4G modem!
BEFORE FLASHING MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER KERNEL TO FLASH AFTERWARD OR YOU WONT HAVE THE EPIC MODEM! NEXUS MODEM IS ALL GOOD
These Kernels should allow changing modems if your on them.

For NS4G modem!
To be on a ns4g modem go to xboxfanj's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842037
NOTE:Make sure your not on NS4G patched rom or your baseband will be unknown until you go to the appropriate rom for the modem.
HOW TO:
1.Install any of these kernels above.(doesnt matter which one because it will only be used to flash the modem)
2.Go to advanced in cwm
3.Go to reboot recovery.
4.Now that your in the new recovery flash any of the above modems.
5.Then after you flash the desired modem flash any rom and it will replace the kernel with the one from that rom.
6.flash your gapps then all should be fine.

Thanks to: The CM team for Everything! and xboxfanj,marcusant,didhiy and anyone else im forgetting!!!
you mind posting the md5 or sha1s when you got a min?
Awesome job, joemossjr.
Sure will post some md5's for ya
so I'm just on normal CM7, but flashing either FC09 or FC19 doesn't seemt do anything. I'm still on EL30. md5s match. Am I missing something here?
imma try to find your problems
ok i odined the el30 modem gonna flash the Fc09 one real quick hold on
I will see if mine works.

The NS4G modem that was posted in this thread when I first found it works, at least if you're already on the NS4Gmod CM7
Now the question is, which NS4G modem will give an Epic the best signal and data speed... has anyone compared a few yet?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Its is now fixed just read all the instructions and fallow all directions turns out there is a certian file that is modified in the kernel that allows the writing of modems without odin that i needed so just flash the kernel then install the modem then reflash your kernel

I have tried all of the nexus modems and kl2 is by far the best for me. Got 2.25 down and 1.3 up on 3g!

Is this worth bugging the CM team to get them to add this option to the stock kernel?

it would really help things progress so we wouldn't have to change kernels every time we want to change a modem but its way better then fooling with Odin and having it fail half way then restart lol

Okey doke, for one I tip my hat to you good sir.
Now, just so I've an idea of how you went about this.The kernel(zImage) is left untouched and this is more based upon the init's correct? The Recovery init to be more exact? Or am I off-base and there are patches to the kernel?

I think no kernel related too.. first though just the updater script on ns4g modem that make it happen
will take a look further over the file

I didnt do the kernel people like xboxfanj and marcusant and UBER and other i may be forgeting made the kernel so its not really mine its actually a modified shadow kernel that for some reason allowed the modem area to be written to and if you werent on the kernel it would say it successfully flashed the modem but it really didnt so i experimented and waaalaaaaah things were starting to peice together and i put the puzzle peices together and now we no longer need odin! i dont know what in the kernel allowed it but as soon as we figure out it will most like be in some other kernels and it would make the process easier and more user friendly:highfive:
has anyone contacted qbking77 to make a how-to-video on this ? ... :fingers-crossed: ( preferrably the REAL qbking77 NOT the blackqbking that has been mentioned in other sections / threads ... LOL )

I am running stock jelly bean rom with air kernel and I want to get back to stock kernel. How would I do that?
Just flash your rom again, no wiping required

Ok so I just flash the last OTA update I had which was the 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 update?
This one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736645
No, you flash the full ROM. Not just the OTA update.
Where is the full jelly bean 4.1.1 rom? Sorry I couldnt find it.
And are you positive this process doesnt wipe that?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Make sure to grab the correct one. Flash with fastboot. Obviously your bootloader has to be unlocked, which I imagine is already the case.
Nothing should be lost as long as you don't wipe data.
Ah so this is what I have to do?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307
And yes my bootloader is unlocked.
Btw which kernel do you suppose is the closest to stock kernel? The reason why I want to do this is because I wanted to see just how does the stock kernel compare with air kernel but it seems like it isnt as simple a thing as I thought it would be to go back to stock kernel.
as i know there is no stock kernel standalone instalation package. So the only way to get back to stock kernel is to flash the whole ROM again.
For my purposes showed as the best kernel thalamus kernel.
Thanks for all the info guys. I have one more question just for future information purposes. Do you get an OTA update if you are on custom kernel?

That will reset your kernel to stock. Sorry I don't have a separate kernel zip to flash.
If I install my compete ROM again (its Cyanogenmod), do I have to install the Gapps again too?

Hello all,
I made this over at the GNex forums for a stock GNex 4.2/4.2.1 kernel... here it is for the Nexus 7 for those that accidentally flashed a 4.1.2 kernel or just want to get back to stock.
Flash at your own risk, should work just fine though!
UPDATED: Kernel should work now! Sorry about the bad zip before!
Will it work on 4.1.2? I have AOKP on my device, would like to flash this, just need to check if it's safe...
Cheers

where were you couple of days ago when I was dealing with the issue - trying to flash stock kernel.....wish you posted this before.

thanks!!!
I flashed LeanKernel and then wanted to go back to stock kernel before flashing latest Faux Kernel.
So I have just flashed your kernel but "about tablet" is telling me I still have LeanKernel installed?
If you can overclock then you're still on lean kernel. Either way, I'd suggest a reflash.

It was definetely still on LeanKernel, I tried it twice.
Only issue could be that I was using an older version of TWRP that wasn't updated for 4.2, but it seemed to flash ok.
edit
Ok, tried it again now I have the updated TWRP and the same thing happens...i.e. nothing, it flashes in the normal way but changes nothing.
This is all wrong. The boot.img inside does not match the one from the N7 nakasi factory image and the updater-script is written for the Galaxy Nexus.
Code:
"of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot");
N7 certainly doesn't run OMAP. Flash at your own risk, indeed.
I urge you to take this down and make sure you know you've got it right before you put it up again. Only saving grace here is you were using the platform by-name method (which just plain won't work on the N7) instead of the actual mmc block names or you could have really messed up some peoples' devices.

Please try again... I have updated my zip and tested it by flashing a 4.1.2 kernel, having the device sit at the X for a few minutes without doing anything (to test a non-working kernel) then flashing my zip, and my N7 is back up and running again.
I am still learning about kernel stuff... sorry about any confusion!

Can anyone confirm if the kernel listed (jop40c) is the actual kernel used in the stock 4.2.1 system? The build is jop40d, and the question seams to be getting overlooked. I cannot find the stock jop40d 4.2.1 kernel anywhere, and just do not have any interest at this time in flashing the factory image/re-rooting etc. Any help would be appreciated.

As it turns out, I built a "slightly rooted" JOP40D stock flash kit yesterday (mods to build.prop in boot.img, and su/SuperSU in system.img). I'm posting this reply from that.
I started with the Google JOP40D (grouper) distro to do that. I thought I was going to need to unpack the boot.img from the OP's .zip to do comparisons of the kernels (to answer your question) ... but it turns out that his boot.img has the same MD5 sig as the boot.img from Google's JOP40D... and the OP's updater-script merely flashes boot.img to the /boot partition.
That means one of two things: either the two successive Google releases (for grouper) had identical boot images (which implies identical kernels), or there is some mistake by the OP. (I don't have the 40C distro to check ... only picked up my N7 a few days ago.)
It should work in your specific case though, as you are on JOP40D.
In any event, flashing boot.img is way way more than just a kernel replacement. I haven't looked at it for a while, but I would suppose that Koush's kernel flasher is a much more appropriate technique for switching ONLY the kernel out from underneath an arbitrary ROM.
cheers
That's great info there. I'm searching for the simplicity of just flashing a kernel instead of pushing the entire boot image. Thanks for a step in clarifying this question

Ok here is the thing i have few questions about rooting my device and flashing custom kernel.
1) I want to root my nexus 5 and yes i saw the tutorials its not my first time to root a device but its first time on n5 so if i root it and install custom recovery and keep stock rom and kernel will i be able to recive ota updates without any problems? Or if i just root it and keep the stock recovery will i be able to update?
2) And my second question will franco kernel work fine on stock rom? Because if my first question is not possible then i would flash franco kernel on my device too and later when an update for stock rom comes i would flas it manually of course if that is possible too?
Thanks for help.

No because you're rooted it won't accept the ota update due to modified software.
