I do realize I need to get both the stock recovery and kernel back in order to install a OTA update and that's easy but in my case, I'd have to disable Xposed (or it's modules), revert back stock navbar with Softkeyz and even get stock GPU binaries and uninstall/disable ViPER audio fx?
Excuse my ignorance but I am a first timer on this position - also if this could be asked on a thread, I'd ask for a moderator to move it (I ran a search but would like a personal answer on this one).
Bump, can anyone give me a solid answer?
Guys?.. (spam is unintentional, it's a simple question)
If you deleted apps or did mods to your build.props download your firmware from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14, you can find your firmware in "Settings" "About" "System Version" once you see it find the same version in the link i gave you and download it. Extract it to your folder that has fastboot and mfastboot and just flash the system.img, NOTE: to this while in bootloader mode. Example: mfastboot flash system system.img If you have other mods such as modifying systemui then find someone to upload stock ui so you can replace. If you don't know how to revert back to stock kernel in the same zip firmware you downloaded move the boot.img into your fastboot and mfastboot folder and open command window here and type in fastboot flash boot boot.img. This will give you stock kernel as well.

Thanks.
I see but I didn't remove or modded anything, only the stuff mentioned above. Just wondering if I'd have to flash the firmware again.

Just to be safe just flash the system.img and the stock recovery and boot.img and you should be good to go. I have a moto X and all i flashed was stock recovery, system.img and disabled xposed and was able to flash my 4.4.3 ota via stock recovery.
Hi!
I am at the moment using latest build of FlashKernel but thinking about first reverting back to stock kernel, so I instead can flash latest ElementalX Kernel for 8.1.0 (March update.)
Now to the question..
How is the exact procedure and way to do this actually? I've tried google it but can't really find anything that tells me how-to do it. Anyone around here that can shed & share some light on this?

Flash the stock boot.img to the "boot" slot. That is to say:
Download the full image or ota from Google. Extract it and locate the boot.img. You may have to extract a second zipped file to find it , I forget. Fastboot flash boot path\to\boot.img where "path\to\" is the path to where the extracted boot.img file is located on the computer. Be aware that recovery lies within the boot.img so if you had twrp installed and still want it then it'll have to be reflashed with the two-step process (boot the .img and flash the .zip)
I download my device stock firmware to get boot.img file if my device because I want to root my device using magisk and it required boot.img file to patch it with its zip. But after downloading it I don't see any boot.img file in this and now I am really worried about it. My device is Mafe Air and I download its firmware from a third party website.
I hope somebody help me about to get boot.img of my device. Please help
Thanks
My phone won't boot, I tried to unroot using the supersu zip then installed what I thought was the stock boot.img. I have already extracted the boot.img.lz4 from the stock firmware but I can't flash that. I changed the file name and removed the .lz4 and flashed it but now I'm stuck on "Could not do normal boot invalid kernel length".
Can someone please share their stock boot.img, please. I was running android 8.0
EDIT: wasn't able to fix the problem but flashed lineage os over stock rom.
This is my 1st LG and it seems as thought everything is Windows Based. If anyone has stock boot.img it would be greatly appreciated.
here they are. they are from the G900TM10j_00_NA2_US_OP_0928.kdz file from lg-firmwares.com. extracted with a python script and firmware exctractor. i dont know if they work, i have android 11 installed. better try first with fastboot boot boot.img before you flash.
