Since the update to 4.1.2 I have been on a ROM and kernel flashing binge and now seem to be getting some anomalies, especially in that I can't get bricked kernel to create zram with some ROMs. I am wondering if somehow I have got the old ramdisk installed or something?
Is there a way to check ramdisk version? A way to update the ramdisk?

1st You got to use Bricked v0.55
2nd Bricked installer use your 'current' kernel as a 'base', this means it extracts your current kernel and patch it then reinstall it. This is where the issue is, Bricked kernel wont works the same way if you had Franco kernel before then Stock Kernel. What you should do is to 1st flash the stock kernel (note : CM10 as a different stock kernel) and then install Bricked kernel and it should be alright
Thanks James.
I was trying to flash it over Franco. I have downloaded a stock kernel but it was from before 4.1.2 and I thought it might have an older ramdisk or something so might not work? Even on an aosp ROM.
For your ROM, I could select the stock kernel during install and then flash bricked afterwards and it should work then. Thanks again.

Whenever I flash a new nightly I lose the Trinity kernel and will have to flash the kernel again. Any way to get around this issue or do I stop flashing every nightly? Will I have to flash the kernel every time after flashing new nightly or a new ROM? Am currently running CM 10.1 JB 4.2.1 on Nexus 7. Some input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nope, You'll have to keep flashing the kernal.
You can use TWRP, which allows batch flashing, or the CyanDelta app (greatest invention ever for nightlies) will automatically flash additional zips that you choose.

I have both TWRP and CyanDelta installed. I will try your suggestions. thank you very much for the info.
Just an update. Used Cyan Delta and it flashed both in one shot. Worked flawlessly. Thanks.

Hey I'm new to the forums but been reading them for a while and I just have a question with OTA updates. I have a nexus 4 that's been rooted and have clockwork mod. I have also flashed the .33 baseband on 4.2.2. I have stock rom but Franco kernel however I backed up the stock kernel with his updater app.
I know I can't OTA with the kernel but flashing the stock one is no big deal. Can I OTA with the rest being on there?
Also if I do the lte wifi hotspot fix will that stop the OTA update as well?
Thanks in advance.

As long you have clockwork mod on the rom you can not OTA...its always going to be manual way of flashing the OTA and that process will remove clockwork mod but using apps like voodoo keeps you rooted so you can easily install clockwork mod again after the update.
No Recovery+Stock ROM+Stock Kernel+Stock Latest Radio= auto OTA update.
I hope that made sense..but i could be wrong but that's what works for me.

You CAN ota if you have a custom recovery.
However, the WiFi hotspot fix will kill it.

So if anything is modded at all except for basic root I won't be able to apply the update that arrives to my phone directly right? I will have to flash it in cwm? I assume I will have to wipe cache and such before I apply the zip right?
Do I have to revert anything back stock or can I just flash the zip directly over what I have now and just re apply the kernel and baseband?

Sorry one more thing with the latest SU I will stay rooted I think but I will lose cwm and have to re obtain it or will I keep it if survival mode is checked?

If you flash it from CWM then you will keep CWM and also keep root (if you say yes when it asks you).

Sorry I am a bit confused still, when I get the update.zip and flash it in CWM do I have to wipe or no? and if I don't will everything stay the same? or will I lose my 0.33 baseband and kernel? I'm also wanting to do the lte hotspot fix so would I lose that too?

You don't have to wipe.It does not matter if you wipe or not, you will still lose your base band, you'll just have to flash the old baseband again. As for the kernel if the ota comes with a new kernel your old stock kernel will be replaced with the new one in the ota.
You actually can accept a ota update with a custom recovery but you have to be stock everything else, no other mods or anything. The ota will install fine and youll see that it goes through your custom recovery when updating. After the update you will lose root and your custom recovery however unless you recovery someone holds onto it.
As I know, we need to modify something after installing custom recovery. Else, stock recovery will be installed upon reboot. So even after modifying, OTA still works ?

So bascially no matter what i have on the phone update.zip will go through fine and put on the phone what it contains and it's up to me to put everything back? Also I've heard mixed opinions if I will lose root and CWM, mostly people say it will give me an option to keep it after applyng the update.

Everything about this post is incorrect.
I don't mean to be a jerk but I've seen you post a lot of false info lately. I know you'd like to help, but it only confuses people when they see contradictory info.

Can you tell me what's wrong with what I said? I was assuming he was on stock rooted with a custom recovery. Is it not true that if you get an ota update and it contains a new baseband and new stock kernel it will overwrite the last last stock kernel and baseband.

No it doesn't overwrite anything. It just fails.
OTA's contain patches. Not complete files. If the original file isn't there it will abort.
I can see how this can be confusing because it is different from custom roms.

But thats only if he has the lte fix right. So if he just flashes a stock kernel without that patch, the ota could work.
For example the stock boot.img
I'm rooted with cwm, custom kernel and old baseband, stock rom. I mean I can very easily revert my kernel back to stock and flash the newest baseband.
The only thing is there's a bunch of stuff I might want to do more but don't want to make it hard to update since it's important to me.

Yep. The phone needs to be 100% stock with the exception of the recovery to complete the OTA. If the files,kernel,radio, etc. are replaced to the original state you'd be good to go.
PS. Sorry if I came off as a jerk this morning. I had a case of the Mondays.

Just as I wrote above, You can do as many modifications as you want, just make sure you bring the phone back to stock before you flash the OTA.zip, otherwise it will fail.
When the new OTA comes out I will update my OTA Help-Desk thread with all the new requirements.

Hello XDA-Developers,
I lost my stock/original kernel from my Nexus 4 Device..
I have now, Franco Kernel 3.4.0-franco.Kernel.nightly.
But, now I wanna try Faux123, how can I get my stock Android Kernel back?
Thanks..

reflash your stock rom, or flash the stock kernel. a quick search on xda or google will find them for you. btw, you didnt "lose" your stock kernel, you willingly and by your choice gave it up by replacing it with a custom kernel.

flash the last good kernel or another kernel, or reflash your rom.
OP, this is why you make a backup before you flash. Always.

I rooted my Razr M early on. I'm running TWRP v2.2.2.1 (i guess that means i'm unlocked? it's been a long time)
How can I swap over to CWM easily and change roms? I just want to update, i'm on the stock rom that's old and I want the new android updates without OTAing yaknow?
I'm not clueless just out of the loop so any help would be awesome, thanks
So you want a custom ROM or latest OTA update?
If you are running TWRP, then you are unlocked, and nothing can change that.
If you want a custom ROM (4.2.2 or 4.3.1) just update your TWRP to the latest version (via fastboot or Matt's utility) and flash whatever ROM and gapps combination suits your needs.
As for running the latest stock build, the easiest way is again to use Matt's utility.

Honestly i'd like to just have a rooted stock build, simply because i like the quick settings in the moto ROM better than some of the more advanced features of the new roms.
I can't change from TWRP? Wanted to swap over the CWM, i'm much more familiar with that. I'll google matt's utility but if you've got a link that would be awesome. Thanks for your help bud
