[Q] Where is the kernel files for CM11 stable? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short a custom kernel completely screwed up the graphics on my N4 CM11 so I'm trying to flash the original kernel from the ROM which is NOWHERE to be found in the cyanogen site.
Anyone got a link?

Just reflash the rom.
If you don't want to, tell me what version of cm11 your'e running and i'll make a flashable kernel zip :good:

or pull the boot.img out of the rom zip and use the flashify app to flash it. the boot.img is the kernel. but honestly, it sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. if you have any questions, please ask, im willing to help. can you explain what happened?

Yeah I screwed up, didn't notice it wasn't CAF

It's 11.0-InstallerXNPQ08Q
Thanks!

So after a reboot to enter recovery my N4 is stuck in the splash screen with the white google logo.
This is getting worse by the minute...

just fastboot flash a recovery, this shouldnt an issue. did you flash a recovery before, or just boot one? it makes a difference if it sticks around or not.

I'm able to force-access recovery and CWM but that's it, once it boots it gets stuck on the splash screen, and thanks to the lack of a SD port I'm unable to easily load a kernel or ROM, and despite having the android SDK I'm unable to sideload the file through adb on Windows.
Any ideas? besides trying the adb through Linux (I'm doing that now)

Here's the flashable kernel zip taken from Snapshot M7 build :good:

Okay now it gets stuck in the cyanogenmod boot animation
Any ideas? that don't involve wiping everything I mean

Can't do since it no longer boots into android, but I tried to do what you say and sideload the zip but I get a "installation aborted" error on CWM

BTW that problem is with the kernel I assembled using a CM11 ROM, your zip actually does boot into cyanogenmod but it gets stuck in the CM boot animation

Okay I'm not sure why or how, but this time it booted alright:laugh::highfive::good:
Thank you guys for the assistance, I'll do a full backup in case it decides to crash again so I can do a total wipe and flash a new ROM from scratch

Do a titanium backup that backs up all your apps with data. Always have a backup so if things do go wrong you can just wipe and restore apps afterwards :good:

Reinstall the kernel? Or use the kernel cleaning script, then reflash the kernel then try booting again.
This is why folks make backups.
Replacing a kernel is a significant operation; you should take backups before doing anything significant.
You wouldn't even need to come in here and ask if you had just made a backup.
OK, they might take a bit of time, but they give you freedom too: you can try all sorts of things out; if those experiments don't go well, simply revert to the backup.
To fix your problem, pull the boot image out of the FULL 4.2.2 distro from Google, and flash it to the boot partition.

Agreeing fully, but there is another possibility for playing around with kernels: simply use fastboot to test the kernel before flashing.
fastboot boot <kernel-you-want-to-use> [<ramdisk.img<>]
In case you have only a boot.img you can extract kernel and ramdisk from that.

Can't get passed boot logo..

This isn't my very first time with flashing/rooting/etc. but I'm not that adept with it.
Got my S4 2 days ago but managed to get time today to work on it. I rooted successfully and everything was running perfect. I flashed over the newest Beanstalk ROM w/ gapps and it ran fine the first time it ran.
I can't get passed the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot logo every time I try to reboot the phone though...
If I wipe the cache/dalvik and reflash it still doesn't boot passed logo.
If I wipe the cache/dalvik and then wipe data (including the internal SD card, completely wiping it clean), flashing the ROM will work the first time it runs; once I reboot or just power it off then power it back on, stuck at Galaxy S4 logo... I let the ROM run first time through, input only what is needed to get to the home screen (google account/wifi setup/phone name/etc.), then I've tried rebooting it, shutting it down and powering it back up, letting everything update and waiting half an hour and restarting it... all have the same result, stuck at boot logo
I'm using TWRP, I have a recovery for stock but I don't want to use stock.
If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

This is EXACTLY what I was about to try... I'm literally reflashing the ROM fresh right now, going to put the kernel on the SD card, then reboot into recovery and wiping cache then flashing the kernel.
Will using a recovery that was made on a different kernel have any effect if I decide to use the recovery? I've heard bad things about flashing the wrong kernel (even though I know the one I'm about to use is the correct one) and really screwing stuff up if not done properly. I just want to make sure I don't screw anything up permanently.
Thanks.

Use twrp 2.5.0.2 because if your using 2.6 its bringing problems. Also report this to their thread for better help

Since there are no recovery categories according to this page,

I don't see where it would matter. No guarantees though.
I do know it is ESSENTIAL to match the type (TW or AOSP) ROM and kernel to avoid major problems.
I also recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2

I did a fresh install of the LiquidSmooth ROM and it's not hanging at boot logo whenever I reboot, and everything is working well. I suppose I'll stick with this for a while.
For my steps trying Beanstalk:
Boot into recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0)
Factory reset;wipe cache/dalvik
Format Data
Factory reset;wipe cache/dalvik
Install ROM + Gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot
I then tried doing that exact process, after letting it boot once I rebooted into recovery and flashed KT Kernel and wiped then rebooted and it hung at boot logo.
I did it again but I installed ROM + Gapps + Kernel then wiped then rebooted and it still hung at boot logo.
I'll download and prepare a new install of Beanstalk and give it another try tomorrow. I'll make sure to backup Liquid in case I want to switch back.
Thanks again for the help!
Glad it's working out for you.
If I may ask here; how do I know if a certain kernel is compatible with a ROM? I know to match the version (4.2, 4.3. etc,) and base (AOSP/ TW) but is there anything else specific that I need to watch out for that could cause problems with flashing a kernel on a ROM?

Not really unless the rom dev for some reason doesn't recommend using a certain one. Kernels will act differently for everyone even on the same device with the same rom. Just need to flash them and find out which one works the best for you (battery life, overheating, smoothness, etc).
Always have a backup handy just in case something doesn't work right.

[Q] Recovery not Booting

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.

Installing a Kernel - Revert back to stock?

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.

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.

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?

[Q] Having trouble with wipe to put on first rom

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
