Lost my Original kernel - Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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..
Nexus 4
Build-number: JWR66Y

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.

How to get back to stock kernel from fanco kernel?

I flashed franco kernel, and now i feel stock kernel maybe better.
How can i get it back?
I'm using stock android 4.1.2 and franco kernel (with rooted and unlocked)
As long as you leave the volume mods alone Franco is better than Stock kernel

Question about franco kernel ????

Hi everyone!!! Everytime when booting my phone, it's stuck on Google Logo, I have to to fastboot it with franco r14 kernel in order to get it booting done. Is there any way so I dont have to fastboot everytime I restart my phone, flash to stock kernel or franco r15 ???
I tried to flash faux123 kernel but it just did not work, stuck on Google logo...
If I recall correctly, franco kernel uses a different ramdisk so before you switch to another kernel you have to return to stock (kernel)
I suggest return to stock kernel, then flash franco r15.

This is what faux suggest to use to reset to stock kernel, for stock ROM only.

If you're in franco, before you switch to another kernel you have to return to stock kernel.
I don't know why you're stuck with Google logo in the first place with franco, but if you're just switching between kernels, especially when there is franco kernel involved, return to stock kernel will likely solve the problem.

[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.
I'm swittching from Motley to franco, I'm staying on the same ROM (xylon)

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

Backing Up Stock Kernel

I have now Nexus 4 out of the box.
Now i want to back up the stock kernel before i flash to Franco Kernel. Is there a way to backup the stock one without rooting the device?
I guess you don't need a backup, you can easily extract it from the stock rom and the flash it back

No need to backup before flashing to Franco Kernel? If so how i extract the stock one later if I'll need it?

You download the stock rom zip from Google's site where the images are stored. Then you extract the zip and as far as I know there's the stock boot.img inside. Then you can simply flash it

Alright thanks!
I already installed Franco Kernel now

[Q] ParanoidAndroid ROM Question

I have finally decided that I am going to root my nexus 4, but since I'm new to rooting I have a couple of questions.
My first question is that if I'm already on stock 4.3 so do I still have to update the radio and bootloader like it says in the PA developer forum?
My next question is what are some good kernels that can be used with PA. I was thinking about franco so I could improve the screen colors but I'm not sure if it will be compatible after reading about JSS and JWR.
Any help would be appreciated.
No need to update the radio and bootloader and use the JWR PA Halfbreed Kernel.

The kernel that comes with PA (calibrated halfbreed) is pretty good IMO so basically just factory reset in recovery, flash the ROM, wipe caches and reboot.

Is the kernel already with the ROM? Does this mean I don't have to flash a kernel? If I do need to flash the kernel can someone give me a link to it.
Sorry if my questions seem stupid I'm new to this.
