[Q]How can I go back to complete stock?

I looked around and couldn't find an answer. Is there any way that I can return to stock Kernel? I found a flashable zip of the stock Kernel for JOP40C, is that Kernel the same as the one for JOP40D?
And I can find the stock Kernel, will it be the same as if I had never installed a different Kernel at all?
Thanks.

Custom kernel is gone after flashing a rom

Why is it that I have to reflash a custom kernel every time I flash the newest build of a rom?

Any time you flash a custom ROM, it will always include some kernel along with it. Hence, when you flash the newest build of a rom, you're also re-flashing the original kernel that it came with.

I see. Thanks! So I pretty much gotta flash my own custom kernel every time then?

As far as I know yes. There could possible be some way of flashing without the kernel, but I think it's much safer to just flash the whole custom ROM and then re-flashing your own custom kernel.

Yeah the easiest thing to do is just install the ROM with its kernel then just flash your kernel of choice.

[Q] Switching ROM and Kernel precaustions

If you flash a brand new ROM to your phone does the kernel (and RAMDISK changes) go away?
I'm asking because I have another Kernel and ROM running on my phone and I'm thinking of flashing a new (completley different) kernel and ROM as well, a lot of kernel developers require you flash a stock kernel before switching to another kernel, then flash the kernel of choice.
I'm scared to brick my phone...
So what would be the steps I need to take to change kernels and update my current ROM?

Which kernel are you planning to switch to?
When you need to flash the stock kernel first in order to flash their kernel, they will tell you in the OP. You can flash the stock kernel every time you flash a new kernel if you like.

Just flash Franco's kernel as is. No need to do anything else.

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

But I want to try to avoid wiping the device totally, or will I be able to install the ROM without fully wiping my device?

You can extract the kernel from the stock rom.
I think it is a good idea to have a copy of the stock rom in case there is a need to flash back to a stock rom.

Would you be able to tell me how to extract it? I already have a copy of the rom.
Edit - Never mind I got it, Thanks for the help!

If lean kernel has aroma installer then there should be a feature of going back to stock kernel If not then:-
Try pekaka kernel where you've feature of aroma installer and there's a step to revert back to stock kernel.
I usually uses same method to revert back to stock. After that keep backup of your kernel
