Currently I'm running andromeda rom with 2.2.4 root, with Di07 and 2.6.29 kernel; which I believe is stock. Now if it wasn't stock would it have a different # or is the andromeda a whole nother kernel?
if your running the anromeda rom it comes with a different kernal. got menu>settings>about phone and build version will tell yuo what kernal you are running
So if I restore back to my first backup when I still had D27, then unroot, I should be able to update, then flash the andromeda kernel again and keep the update right?

Your gonna have to flash the stock rom and kernal than update. You shouldn't have to remove root

i have a nandroid of ji6. do i just apply that and flash a ji6 kernal? can someone link me to one if so? if not, can someone explain how to do it? thanks.
I believe you have to ODIN the official JI6 release (you can find it in the dev forum). Then you have to root, install ROM Manager, and nandroid your way back to where you were.
The key is to Odin a Rom, any Rom, that has the JI6 kernel.
Odin JI6 and then nandroid.
Nandroid doesn't install the kernel, so you would end up with a "brick" if you tried to nandroid on a 2.2 rom.
thanks guys! loving obsidian so far, but i think i need the signal strength boost from ji6.
Nope, I was on Obsidian and just flashed straight back to Bionic Fusion through clockworkmod recovery (straight, not through ROM Manager), and then Core kernel on top of that. I'm running perfect apart from slow market downloads (mostly my fault I think--accidentally deleted some system apparently and then restored; downloads work, but fussy)

that's because bionix flashes the kernal along with the rom. nandroid doesn't. that is why i asked if i could just flash the ji6 kernel after restoring my nandroid.
ATTN: Don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
On to the post:
You can feel free to nandroid or flash to/from anything. However, if your Obsidian install is like many other peoples, you probably can't do crap in recovery. In that case, you need to Odin. However, if your recovery does work, just flash the rom and the kernel (or just the rom, if the kernel is included)
OK ill give it a shot if I decide I don't like obsidian. Thanks.

By can't do crap do you mean can't flash or can't access clockwork mod? (I can boot into clockworkmod just fine)

Ah, sorry. I thought the issue was whether you have to ODIN back to stock in order to roll back from Froyo.
For me the safest was to ODIN JFD, then flash JI6.
I flash franco kernel without backup the original one. I found a stock kernel in alternative post however it is no rooted. Can somebody share the rooted stock kernel of 4.2.2? Thanks.

Uhm, root is not in the kernel mate. Just flash the stock kernel and you will not loose root.

Ah! When I about to left the recovery, there is a notice that "fix the root". Thanks anyway.
So, my stock nandroid backup has failed me. I am on Slimbean right now and I like it, but I would like to flash back to stock until all the kinks are worked out. How can I get back to stock touchwiz? I'm not exactly sure what a deodexed ROM is, but it is my understanding that Wallet does not work on one so I would like to be on a ROM that allows wallet.

You could either use Odin to flash the stock rom and be back at square 1, unrooted. Or you could flash crawrj's odexed rooted rom, and Google wallet works on that. Just read up on disabling SEAndroid so you don't get the nag.

That is just what I was reading now. I'm probably going to flash that. I do understand it doesn't come with a kernal, so if I'm on Slimbean can I just wipe and flash the odexed rom over that kernal? If not, how do I get the stock kernal back to flash over?

Good point. Flash Shabbys custom kernel, it's linked in that same thread (crawjr's). So wipe, flash odexed rooted rom, flash kernel. You will need to freeze that SEAndroid app though, don't forget about that.

Alright, so I can flash both at the same time? Also, how do I freeze the app? Just disable it in the settings?

I used titanium backup to freeze it. You need the pro version to do that though
EDIT: Someone just informed me that the app is in the system/app directory, and is called KNOXAgent.apk. So I supposed you could try deleting/renaming that to disable it without using Titanium backup.

And yes, flash the rom and then kernel in the same recovery session. You currently have an aosp kernel, so I'd doubt it boots if you tried to boot before flashing the kernel.

Hello XDA,
I am currently running the beta firmware for the oppo find 5, X909EN_13_130531_Beta
I am wanting to install faux123 kernal, meaning i need to install a new recovery as im currently running the stock one,
if i do install CWM and install the faux123 oppo find 5 kernal,
what will happen when oppo releases a new beta firmware? will i be able to get the update? how would i go about getting the update?
thanks guys.
much appreciated.
I think that while updating to a newer beta, the kernel by faux will be simply replaced by the new stock kernel inside the update

Thats true stock will overwrite. Then you should be able to flash faux123 kernel over stock again, most likely anyways unless its a major upgrade to like 4.2 then I'm sure faux will release an up to date kernel himself..

Yep, and actually ... I keep saying this but, the best part about this phone is being able to get stock firmware updates via system recovery, stock or custom. When a new update comes out just download the patch or full zip file and put it on your phone, boot into recovery and flash. As mentioned your custom KernEl will be overwritten by the stock kernEl when you update. But.. both CWM and TWRP allow you to keep your custom recovery when updating, thus allowing you to easily reflash Faux123 kernel if you wanted!

I have now Nexus 4 out of the box.
Now i want to back up the stock kernel before i flash to Franco Kernel. Is there a way to backup the stock one without rooting the device?
I guess you don't need a backup, you can easily extract it from the stock rom and the flash it back

No need to backup before flashing to Franco Kernel? If so how i extract the stock one later if I'll need it?

You download the stock rom zip from Google's site where the images are stored. Then you extract the zip and as far as I know there's the stock boot.img inside. Then you can simply flash it

Alright thanks!
I already installed Franco Kernel now
