How to get stock kernel back? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

As the title states I flashed Faux123's kernel. If I wanted to go back to the stock kernel is this possible at the moment? I know loki was just released but is there any other way to get the stock sammy kernel back? TIA

Unrooted, still see mods even after factory reset

I unrooted and factory reset but i can still see some mods installed like Mobile AP. Why is this? How can i get it back to stock without anything rooted?

Did you flash back to stock rom? Hard resets on a custom rom don't get rid of custom settings. You need to flash the stock rom.
Alright so you mean odin? Which is the best one to odin too, i see there are two, or is there another? THe ones i see is

If you want to flash through odin follow the first thread. You could try this thread its a flashable update.zip through clockwork if you still have that installed. It gives root back but is a stock rom. Just unroot again after you are done.

Yea i dont ahve clockwork anymore cause im not on root...

Yeah I just realized that. Odin would be the next step. If you can't use odin reroot, flash the rooted stock rom the unroot again.
Yea im just trying to figure out which stock rom to use there is two..

Eugine said he used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091 in his clockwork one so i guess ill use this one.
I use this one for odin and reseting my phone:

I think either one would be fine.

Yea i saw that one. How is the 3g speeds and stuff on it? I read 513 pit is bad, and that one is a pre-release or beta?
Ah it looks like justanothercrowd said its from the same source anyway so i guess it doesnt matter.
What would all of you do if they came up with a sure fire way to know if you have rooted your phone or not. Something that nobody, not even top developers could crack. Then what?
haha well i just odined back I just wanted to try this stuff out never did before

Stock Kernel

I'm about to flash a kernel and was wondering what I have to do to go back to the stock one. I didn't find a stock flashable kernel in the dev forum but it must be around...
Edit: I'm looking for the stock 2.3.3

easiest newbie method is to just reflash the stock rom
Does a stock kernel just not exist? I don't want to have to change roms to change kernels, if possible.

nandroid backup... or flash CM7, flashing CM7 flashes the stock kernel but it overrides your ROM

[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.

[Q] Canadian MDJ firmware vs MDL ROM

I currently have a brand new Canadian S4 with the MDJ firmware/baseband version.
Most of the roms are MDL based.
Do i have to change the base firmware/baseband to MDL before flashing and MDL rom ?
My goad is to install CleanRom wich is MDL based.
Thanks for the guidance.

You can just flash the ROM. Just make a Nandroid backup first. Some ROM's come with a custom kernel and you may need to flash a Canadian kernel directly after flashing the ROM.

I did get the original Kernel file for my cell provider. It is a TAR file with boot.img into it.
What is the easyest way to apply it after flashing the Rom in TWRP ?
Thanks
Xetalx
TARs are flashed with Odin or Mobile Odin.

If you are flashing the STOCK firmware for your specific carrier it will include the STOCK kernel.
If you are using a custom ROM like Mint Jelly or something, I'd say flash Adam kernel after flashing the ROM. You won't want to flash a STOCK kernel with a custom ROM.
Did you end up updating to MDL?
I also have the MDJ kernel and I installed CleanRom, I now cannot get wifi and TWRP will not boot in recovery mode. I thought it would be easier just to update to MDL to get wifi but mobile Odin did not work.
Thank you

No I did not,
Truthfully I am a pretty big Noob to all of this and was afraid of changing my kernel to MF3 from MDJ. I really didn't know how that would affect my phone / carrier situation here in Canada. The main problem was that I could not get the phone into recovery mode. Turns out I just needed to re-root the phone. So when I got the phone to actually go into recovery I jumped at the CM Rom. When I find a forum that helps me understand what updating my Kernel does to my phone I will try to update Kernel and go back to CleanRom. I kind of miss multiwindow.... maybe a little bit of Touchwiz...
Thanks for the reply!
EDIT : I also found this : http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=421 which is a version of CleanROM made for the MDJ but it is dated further back which threw me for a loop too.

No worries and you're very welcome! Don't sweat, I'm still on stock ROM because I'm hesitant to make the ROM dive. Don't know how or if installing MF3 kernel via custom ROM would affect the phone in terms of rooting or custom recovery either. I'd probably be sticking with MDJ build if possible.
You and me both on multiwindow! Helps a ton when it comes to referencing something while emailing/texting! I'd miss the TW camera as well ... maybe. haha
Which version of TWRP are you on? Version 2.6 has an often-experienced issue where it just hangs at the "teamwin" splash screen. Downgrading to 2.5.0.2 resolves that.
Any updates?

Hey guys,
I am also a 1337m Rogers S4 (MDJ) owner, also a noob as well. I managed to flash my phone with CM and had a pretty good AOSP experience and learned a little bit on the way. I can legitimately say that I miss a couple thing about stock / Touch wiz, mainly the multiwindow support and camera. Cyanogenmod is also acting up and drains battery pretty bad when I am roaming in the states.
What did you guys end up doing? Did you update your base-band to mdk and install CleanRom? Right now that looks like it's my goal but I truthfully have no idea how to do it.
Did you guys go back to stock after changing? Do I just find a stock ROM on the forum and use ODIN to bring it back?
Is switching roms as easy as choosing something in Goo manager or do you need to go into a recovery in recovery mode?
Thank you!

NC4 Kernel

Hey guys, sorry if this is a duplicate post but I'm trying to return to stock Verizon through restoring a backup and my phone gets stuck at the Verizon splash screen. I'm thinking it's because of the kernel
I rooted>safestraped>installed jasmine 2.4>flashed NC2 kernel via odin.
Jasmine runs fine, and honestly I like it a lot but I want to get better battery life so I need to revert to stock.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the kernel causing the issue where stock won't boot up fully?
And if I am, can you point me in the direction of an NC4 odin flashable kernel?
Thanks in advance

You can always flash the NC4 stock tar via Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524572

Well I want to revert to stock but I want to go back to the backup I made.
Is there no way I can just flash the NC4 kernel to go back?

Good question. I'm a little new to the note 3 ...lol I switch phones a lot. I've had the same issue as you with restoring stock backup. It probably is kernel related due to having NC2 flashed to run custom builds. Maybe some else can chime in.
