Did you do a backup of the rom before changing the kernel. It is contained in the boot.img in the backup. Just use one of the flashable zips that flash the kernel and replace the boot.img and wireless.ko files from an original nandroid with the one in the flashable zip (ones I looked at the boot.img as in the kernel subdirectory). wireless.ko goes in /system/lib/modules directory. Just use 7-zip and open archive. Delete the boot.img and paste in the one you want. Cloese out 7-zip and then you have a flashable zip with the stock kernel. I have attached the boot.img from the stock GB rom. Make sure you unzip the file and remove the boot.img. Do not try to flash this zip. It won't work.
I went ahead and made a flashable zip to restore the stock GB kernel. A big caveat here is that I have not tested it out myself as I am currently already rocking the stock kernel. If you are a brave soul you can try it out. Based on my experience it should work with no problems. If it does work please report back here and I will make a new thread in the development section. Many people have been looking for this, including myself. Once I venture out to another kernel to overclock, I wanted to have a way to restore to stock if I needed it. For now I am sticking with the stock kernel as I find the phone fast enough as it is.
Make sure you clear the Dalvik cache before rebooting or you might hang during boot or get a boot loop. The first boot will take several minutes due to Dalvik cache being rebuilt.

If this works it should def go in the dev section, unless it's already there.

I will post a thread in the development section once somebody confirms it works. I am pretty confident it will work. Using the same method that is used to flash custom kernels, but I used the boot.img and wireless.ko from the stock GB rom flash.

Not sure if I done anything wrong but here are the steps that i did:
- clear cache
- clear Dalvik cache
- flashed the zip file
- reboot
All I got was a black screen. I waited for about 15 mins but still black screen.

Did you flash it over the stock GB 2.3.3 rom? This is the original kernel and ony compatible with the stock rom. If you are running another rom that would result in a black screen due to incompatibility issues.
I'm using Xboarder's Stock Tweaked OTA Gingerbread build v1.2.2. I don't have the original stock rom. (stupid me, i didn't backup the stock rom before flashed another rom )
Edit: I tried again and it works beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you.
thank you all for your help.
I did some searching before asking this and could not find my answer...
I am preparing to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery.
Before doing so I wish to backup the Stock Recovery.
I assume this can be done and if so what is the most painless way to do so?
Maybe someone has already posted the after OTA individual Stock images including Recovery?
TIA
I found my answer...
Flashify does exactly what I was looking for.. Plus a lot more!
Flashify
Thanks cgollner!
You can also download the stock images directly from Google
Sent from my Nexus 5
Yeah, no need to back it up. Google provides it as part of the factory image:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerheadkrt16m
You can flash the full image to get completely back to stock or flash each component individually.
So like the title says I have been out of the ROM game for a little bit. Every couple of months I check in and see whats new and flash something else.
I was on the Jelly Beans ROM (Build 16 I think) and Android 4.1. I did some searching last night as was going to try flashing Gummy ROM…bad idea. I am guessing I needed something prior to jumping up to a 4.4 base. I booted to recovery and wiped everything and tried to flash with no luck. So the phone would not boot and I could only get into recovery and download mode. I did not have my micro SD adapter in order to get jelly beans back on it to flash so I ended up having to use odin to flash a stock rooted 4.1 image. Finally got everything back up and running but I still want to try some of the 4.4 ROMs. So what exactly do I need first in order to flash one? (Modem maybe)…if you know for sure why that happened and what I need to do please let me know. Thanks!
My Current "About Phone" Info...
Android Version - 4.1.2
Baseband version - I535VRBMB1
Jelly Beans - Build 20
P.S. I have tried doing the research and nothing I have found has been clear but one thing I came across is the official 4.3 update was bad news and broke the root methods? So should I stay away from 4.3 ROMs and is the old root method blocked in 4.4 as well or is that a different case since it wasn't actually released for our phone. If that makes sense lol

you need the latest recoveries to flash kk roms. cwm is here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
and twrp is here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/102. make sure you download the d2vzw version
if you're rooted you should have no problems flashing 4.4 rom. I recommend beanstalk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354113. has worked great for me. you have to also update the modem to ML1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
as always do a nandroid before you do anything and you should backup your sd card to your computer. they probably will move post this to another thread.
good luck

ahh I didn't even think of that? I do know for a fact whatever version of CWM i had was not recent..Are you sure that is the only issue? so with a newer recovery...like I have now that I fixed my phone..I can flash a 4.4 ROM no problem? I could have sworn I remember hearing something about needing a certain modem...or something similar

yes. flash the ML1 modem. I provided the link in my previous post. it's a fact that earlier recoveries won't flash kk roms. I found out the hard way myself. hopefully you'll have titanium or rom toolbox to backup your apps with data.

Thanks a lot!!.. So how do I know if my recovery is new enough? I was never a fan of the touch recoveries because I felt like it would be easier to do something on accident so I haven't tried one in a while...I am using clockwork mod recovery 6.0.4.5. Is that new enough??
Also one lasttttt question I swear...can someone give me a quick list of the different recovery options that are out there now...and maybe list some features of each...thank you

that recovery is fine. i've only used cwm and twrp.. had some problems with philz recovery so I ditched it. basically they're all the same. twrp lets you name your back where as cwm just uses some default name which of course you can change with a file manager. twrp also wipes all 3 (system, cache and dalvik) with one swipe where as cwm requires 3 separate operations. I really haven't done much in recovery other than wiping and flashing. I'm actually on the latest twrp and have had no problems flashing kk roms. keep in mind that you can't backup in cwm and restore it using twrp and vice versa. it's really more a personal preference as far as I'm concerned.
preferably pre-rooted...
No you're not,you're trying to get others to do the looking for you. I'll bite. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/pure-aosp-learning-mode-t2984965
Not trying to be rude. But you are being lazy by not searching the forum.
However, this is the ROM that I think is closet to the Stock ROM. However there are many other ROM's which are close to stock. You can go through them in the forum.
Pre-rooted , yes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-cataclysm-nexus-5-t2518660
Or just flash stock and root it yourself? I don't understand.
yes. i am lazy. annoying thing about flashing the factory image is losing cuatom recovery etc
