Hi,
I flashed Trinity Kernel a while back and wanted to go back to root. So I got the stock kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803724
and flashed it after wiping cache/dalvik. I rebooted device and now its stuck at the Google screen. Its rooted and unlocked. Any help?

reflash your rom. depending on your rom, the stock kernel might not work(like cm10). reflashing your rom will install whatever kernel came with it.

flash the boot.img in fastboot, put it in the same folder as fastboot and type.. fastboot flash boot boot.img
Probably a daft question I know, but i couldnt find the answer....
Current using the Stock ROM supplied with my N4, but I've flashed Francos Kernal onto the device.
If I were to flash a different ROM, would the Kernal stay the same or will I have to reflash it after flashing the ROM?
Thanks.
Yes you need to Reflash. It's also kernel not kernal
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
You would have to reflash it.
Thanks guys.
Oops hadn't noticed I had spelt it wrong. Probably because I was used to seeing 'Kernal' from my Commodore 64 days!
So I I finally received my RMA phone. I rooted it and unlock. Im gonna keep it on stock rom but was wondering what kind of other mods you guys installed like camera or kernel?
If you decide to flash a kernel, I would try Matr1x. I've heard good things about it.

will franco kernel work with stock rom? Is it safe to update OTA official stock roms?

You need to unlock your boot loader at least to run custom kernels. You can update to ota ROMs as long as you have stock recovery.

works with stock ROM. Once you have a custom recovery you won't be able to receive OTA. However since stock ROMs are usually posted on XDA before I actually receive it I don't see a problem with it.
franco kernel for battery life. circle battery because I like seeing it. eventually i'll probably flash the noozy? audio mod. trying to avoid flashing a custom rom this time around, just because.

Well, I'll buy the Nexus 4 weeks coming but I still appear doubts about what I'll do with it hehe! It's better have the stock version of android with Franco Kernel, or Installing the CM 10.1 with Franco Kernel or have the defaut kernel with the CM 10.1. I heard that with the Franco Kernel version of the stock android can not be updated. Is it true? Grateful. Hug
Whatever you like. It's your choice. You have to test it out on your own and see.
I don't really understand your last question.

Sry, I heard that with the Franco Kernel, the stock version of android can not be updated. Is it true?
No. If you're not on stock recovery then you would not be able to get the updates. Kernels do not do such a thing like you said. If you have a stock recovery and a custom kernel is installed you'll be able to get updates as long as the recovery is stock.

You can't apply an update to the stock ROM if anything is altered, including using a custom kernel. But you can easily just re-flash the stock kernel, apply the update and then flash your custom kernel again.

Hey guys quick question my n4 is rooted and running cm10.1.3. I never bothered to upgrade to 4.3, so my radio, kernel and bootloader are stock 4.2.2. Is it better to get the ota update and be up on things or flash stock kernel, boot loader and radio for 4.4 when ever there available? Or maybe factory image?

Just flash the stock images for kit Kat when they are available, right now back up all your data

my friend as this will pop up all over the forum the best thing to do is just wait for a rooted version to show up. I did not upgrade my bootloader and I have not had any issues with 4.3 which mind you is a great running OS you should try it.
I dont understand having root then unrooting to flash stock which you obviously dont like since you run cm and then wait to root it all over again to back an upgraded rooted version of cm...

Question on the way for the custom recovery+kernel guys on 4.3 what is the best to upgrade besides wiping your entire phone and flashing the stock images entirely?.
I think i know 2 ways just not sure they are recommended, 1st is flashing stock kernel + returning recovery to stock (should get OTA)
2nd is flashing only the system.img and the bootloader me thinks.
Feel free to verify this.
:good:

You make a lot of sense ,its more of curiosity and so I won't brick my nexus. So I can get away with not upgrading my bootloader for 4.4?
What about kernel, do I need to update that for 4.4 or is that judgement call?

you are asking questions that trial and error are going to figure out for us. Kernels of course if you are on a 4.4 rom you would use a 4.4 kernel. Upgrading your bootloader may or may not be needed but we wont know until kitkat starts popping. everyone said you needed to upgrade bootloader for 4.3 but I have never had any issue at all.... Just wait it out and read read read

Not to sure but as long as you're on stock ROM and stock kernel you should be fine although I don't know if custom recovery keeps you from getting update.

Absolutely bro
You do have to be on stock recovery, stock bootloader for the update to go thru properly otherwise it'll fail.

If you are still on stock rom and you just have custom kernel+recovery, U could do the following for not using any current apps or files.
- Wait till your favorite Toolkit (e.g Wug) get updated for 4.4 and then download the official factory rom.
- Extract it and keep all separate zips, like radio, bootloader,system etc.
- Unroot and flash stock kernel
- Flash all previous zips, EXCEPT user.img which will delete everything
- Reroot and U r ready to flash again custom kernel
Maybe a noob question but my n4 is rooted. Will this cause any problems withe the update?

The original stock kernel of 4.3 is on the bootloader.img on the google source code aye?
Thanks, now we just need to wait for the official 4.4 on google's developers.

Hello,
My phone has already had the radio upgraded to latest so it can run 4.3. I am rooted, have TWRP 2.6.3.0, will I be ok to flash the PA 4.4 and gapps? I keep posts about folks losing their sdcard data and their custom recovery being removed (not sure how!).
Thanks.

I'm sure that radio doesn't affect your ability to flash certain ROMs so you shouldn't have a problem flashing 4.4. As far as losing SD data not sure how that's happening.
