Hey XDA,
I'm tempted to install a kernel on my Nexus 4. This is the first time doing a Kernel (already have the nexus 5 rom) but what I was wondering is:
How will I get the stock kernel (3.1.0 if im right?) back on the phone when I want to undo things?
Is it as simple as doing a stock recovery or something else. From what I think recovery is only for the OS and not kernel?
You just dirty flash your current rom. (flash it, then wipe cache and dalvik)

its pointless wiping dalvik and cache, as they get wiped when you flash the rom. also, if just flashing a kernel, wiping dalvik and cache have nothing to do with it, so no need to wipe.

Same process that I did before installing the Nexus 5 port rom? Trough clockwork etc? If yes then I know what you mean!
Can I install Franko kernel trough clockwork ? or..

Yes. Go into recovery (clockworkmod), and simply flash the rom. Like simms22 said, wiping cache and dalvik isnt necessary, but it wont hurt anyone
Franco packages his kernel as a boot.img (which is installed using fastboot) and as a zip (which is flashable via recovery). Pick the one that you want and install it using the appropriate method.

Alright and when I want to remove everything and go back to stock via clockwork then it will also remove the custom kernel?

whenever you flash any rom, it removes the custom kernel, replaces it with the one from the rom(until you flash it again).

Added some more information. If you mind taking a look.
So just to make sure I understand. When I go into clockwork and whip the phone etc etc it will also whip the custom ROM AND custom Kernel.
So when it boots back into stock android again it also has the original kernel that the nexus 4 was running on?

from what i understand, most 4.3 kernels will boot on the hybrid 4.4 roms that are out right now, including the port. now ive heard that jwr kernels arent smooth on the 4.4 hybrid roms/ports, but jss kernels run great.

Alright I downloaded the lastest JSS file which is a img but when I'm in clockwork and have the file on my phone it doesn't see it?
I went to zip from sdcard.
Or do I need to package the img into a zip file? OR is it something that has to be done trough the cmd? Hope not as clockwork is faster.

Maybe power it down and then on?

reflash your rom. the kernel might not be working on the rom then, trinity kernel does http://goo.gl/QtuabY

Problem now is that the phone is in USB debugging so my PC won't see the phone. When USB debugging is disabled it does.

I tried to update to 4.2.2 manually and got stuck in a bootloop. The first time, I got an error message (attached) and rebooted, so I went into Voodoo Root protector and deleted my backup of SU thinking that could be the problem. I tried again, got the same error, and now I'm in a bootloop. I am on stock Android 4.2.1 and using Franco Kernel r72. Please help me.
Thanks.

If you have unlocked bootloader, download Nexus 4 image from here, unzip it to get the various factory images and then flash using fastboot. If you have locked bootloader, you will have to unlock it using
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
.
CAUTION: This will wipe all data.
Follow this guide to re-root and install CWM.

yes, in cwm. wipe data then flash the rom. you can try just reflashing your rom first, without wiping data. if it still bootloops, then wipe data and reflash. flashing the system img via fastboit will wipe everything.

Since you aren't running the stock kernel, one of the kernel modules failed an md5sum check for a patch and the install stopped before attempting to patch a file that wasn't equal to what it was expecting.
a wipe data/factory reset in Recovery Mode can solve this bootloop, especially after you have just flashed a ROM.

Flashing from fastboot will automatically clear all data. There should be a system.img file. Flash it using
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
But to make a clean install, I would recommend you flash all the factory images. Refer this for more detail.

Flashing the factory images will have restored the stock kernel.
If you are going to flash a factory image or anything like that, watch this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039162
after you flash that ROM, if your phone stucks in a bootloop, then go to Recovery, wipe cache and reset factory will solve the problem.

na, the kernel is always included in the rom. you flash a kernel if you want to use a different kernel(trinity is great with stock).

Yeah, goomanager is telling there's a new version of the ROM your running, you can download the new version (look for it in the forum) and then install it (flash it) via recovery, or keep your old one. I personally like stock, don't like custom ROMs on nexus devices.

Nope. Reboot into recovery, install .zip from SD card, find the downloaded ROM zip you want to flash, wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot. None of your data should be lost

Goo.im manager is the software that can be used by developers to provide ota updates to users of their custom roms. It sometimes goes mad and asks to update rom. It could be some data problem. Just erase the app data and restart app. This works most of times.

You might run it to issues with using a different kernel without a fresh install.
Has to do with the ram disk that matr1x uses that would be different from trinity.
Make nandroid
Back up your apps and data re-flash your Rom flash a different kernel restore you apps.
A little more work now could save you a lot of effort later
Reflashing the ROM won't wipe anything by itself. Reflash, wipe cache/dalvik, you're back to stock kernel with all your data intact.

you should be fine just flashing trinity over your setup, as both kernels use anykernel. anyways, since you are on android 4.2.2, be sure to grab an android 4.2.2 trinity kernel, nit one meant for android 4.3. btw, reflashing your rom(gapps) without wiping data will not wipe anything. its called a dirty flash, its the only way i update my rom. and you dont have to wipe anything when flashing kernels.

Hey, I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. Here's what happened: I wanted to do an update to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I downloaded the ROM and gapps. I wiped dalvik, cache, and system and flashed the ROM. When I tried to flash the gapps Clockwork Mod said it was corrupt. No problem, turned the phone off, pulled micro usb card and put the gapps on that. The only problem is now I can't boot into recovery at all, with the Power+down option and ROM Manager crashes when I try to open it. So the problem is that I can't boot into recovery and I can't reinstall ROM Manager because I don't have gapps. Titanium Backup is also having problems and can't get root access. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

So i finally rooted and went into twrp. This is the first rom im installing. Ive done this whole root thing for a little over 4 years now.
I went to do a wipe, system, cache, dav....and its been stuck on "factory reset" for 10 mins now what do i do. did i do something wrong?
formatting cache using make_ext4s function" is what its saying
the phone shut of and i thought it was done for. It did reboot but nothing was wiped. am i doing something wrong here?
normally you just go into the twrp, slide to wipe everything, install rom, gapps, wipe cache and dav and reboot.

Crap guessing you don't have a backup......try using koush universal drivers to get your phone recognized...and use adb to sideload a ROM or use adb to push the philz cwm recovery zip to your recovery

If you want to sideload a ROM its easy and I'll guide you through or you can push a zip with adb to your recovery

If you want to flash 4.4. Try the philz cwm recovery link...its a zip so just flash and reboot recovery....there's a unofficial 2.6.3.4 in android development section but no longer supported......I would choose philz over 2.6.3.4 IMO only....and thanks for all the thanks!!!! Just saw them
