Reflash stock kernel 4.2.2

Hi everyone! I've got a little problem...I'm on 4.2.2 stock ROM and Franco kernel, now I stupidly forgot to make a backup of the 4.2.2 stock kernel and I want to flash my N4 back to it.
How do I proceed?? I tried to find a flashable zip of the latest kernel but the only one I managed to find was the 4.2.1 one.
Thanks in advance!

Can I directly flash it from the custom recovery?

No, with adb in fastboot mode.
If you don`thave adb platform-tools installed check the first line in mu signature how to set it up.

Can't start any Custom Rom

IT seems that any custom Rom I load just sits at the startup animation on first boot. None will Load. I can revert back to Stock without a problem.
Any Idea's?
You need to provide more info. Which stock version are you using? what bootloader version you on? What roms have you tried, and what are they based on (4.1.x, 4.2.x) ? CWM, or twrp?

Started with 4.2.2, used the nexus 7 tool kit to perform root, install recovery, etc. Using twrd 2.4 fir recovery. Smooth rim was the latest. Tried 2 others but the names escape me right now. I have rooted and loaded custom rooms on my last 3 phones so I am not s complete noob but am not an expert either

For zip use google may be u càn find. Or if u can flash boot.img from factory image package after wiping cache and dalvik cache.
Always do a nandroid backup before flashing..

I looked around and I couldn't find a flashable version for you (maybe I didn't use the correct words in my search). Your best bet is the factory images where you can get it as a .img file and flash it via fastboot.

Did you create a Nandroid backup with either ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP? This would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. If not, efrant wrote an awesome guide for returning the Nexus 4 back to stock

You don't flash factory images with recovery, you use fastboot.
