I am new to the nexus s , but have been a heavy galaxy s user. I noticed that flashing roms etc is a bit different from what I am used to on my galaxy s .. I did not see any thread containing stock kernels ... So how can I return to stock after I have flashed another kernel ? I have installed the voodoo kernel with ext4, sound and colour enhancement .. But suppose I want to return to my stock gri54 kernel , how can I do that ? Have read allready about fastboot etc etc but then I should have an .img of the stock kernel , correct ?
By flashing back to stock rom, you will get back your stock kernel automatically.

So by flashing back to stock ROM via recovery, does it mean that it will be locked and un-rooted as factory default [like when you first purchase the device]?

It will be unrooted, but still with unlocked bootloader.

The Odin package can put you back to stock rom too.
So what you are saying there is no way to flash only the stock kernel ?? Very confusing .. I am able to flash just another kernel using fastboot but I am not able to flash back the stock kernel using fastboot ? Odin is a last resort method .. haven't seen fastboot .img files of the stock here in the forums ?
I'm not sure if anybody posted any stock kernel file in the forums. If there is any, you can easily download it and install via recovery or fastboot.
Otherwise you can only revert to stock roms because stock roms links are easily available through the forums or samsung firmware website.
Or after you have failed everything, may want to consider Odin. It seems to touch the phone at a lower level compare to other techniques.
follow the instruction on this

work great for me after all
Samsung i9023
Good luck
Yeah , I also mentioned odin allready .. Used it a lot when I had my galaxy s .. Just thought that since the nexus s can use fastboot I could get rid of odin ..
I am also not used that all has to be flashed to achieve a single goal .. On the galaxy s I could flash the kernel separately and also stcok kernel were easy to find .. I think it is kind of a hassle to reflash a whole rom just because you want stock kernel back ..
Voodoo has stated that his kernel is 'almost' stock, with only voodoo addon to the pure stock kernel. Maybe you can use that?
Some news here?
Hi there!
I was also wondering about this same situation. Let's say I want to stick with the original ROM and try some non-stock kernels. After some tests I know there is an OTA available but I don't want to backup and restore everything (using TB or similar). From what I understood I wouldn't be able to flash stock kernel (in other words, back to full stock ROM + Kernel) and apply OTA update...
What if we just flash boot.img from a nandroid of stock rom+kernel?

Hoo great!
but, can you tell us where to find or how to get it from the stock ROM and make it flashable? It might be useful for upcoming releases of stock ROM/Kernels.
Thank you once again,
RM
edit: after searching by the filename you gently provided I found this:
hxxp://www.android-hilfe.de/2277361-post1.html
hxxp://www.michalurban.cz/Nexus_S_i9023/Kernel/
seems to be a good compilation, and stock is in the list!
The file I posted is already flashable through CWM. Just wipe dalvik first. Of course make sure you have a Nandroid backup just in case.
Hi,
sure, I noticed that. What I was wondering was how to get this flashable kernels. From the stock ROM full installation file? From a nandroid backup of a stock ROM??

Hi, is any chance to get stock kernel for Jelly Bean 4.1.1? I've got stock rom, Air Kernel and OTA is buzzing me multiple times a day. No luck in upgrade, Error Status 7. I think it's Air Kernel's fault.

After much consideration I decided to root and install ICS from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354263 following this guide.
I rooted successfully and used ROM Manager to make a backup. When I came to installing the mod, my phone is just stuck on this screen -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7960393/IMG_20111125_125549.jpg
It has been like that for about 15 minutes. Can anybody help me?
Thanks
EDIT: Apparently clockworkmod recovery got wiped :s
Flash a new cmw with fastboot and you'll be set.

Have you tried do go through the steps of the one click root process again? (assuming that is how to you rooted your phone the first time)
If you can boot into the OS, flash cwm twice in a row using Rom Manager. It takes two flashes to get the recovery to stick.
If no OS, push the cwm file using adb.

Like said above gotta use the one click. The partitioning is different ics roms are mtd and I believe most if not all gb roms are bml and the stock one-click will correct the partitioning on your phones memory before it installs stock firmware and then you can root and install the gb rom of your choice

If you have flashed stock recovery I suggest you relock bootloader and flash an RUU. Once you get every stock, try it again from scratch.
