Need stock kernal

I've been using yargs for about a month now and always seems to have problems with my WiFi dropping. I made a cwm backup before I flashed yargs but would hate to have to revert my phone that far back.
I'm on newest ota rooted and unlocked.

Restore just an earlier system to restore kernel.
I have not seen a stock zip but I bet arrrghhh's Q kernel thread has one.

I think you could RSD straight to the OTA without wiping data. That should work. Or you could extract the boot.img from the RSD and flash it via fastboot

Thanks for the solution but I was hoping for a flashable zip. I have yet to dabble with RSD and am sorta nooby with this stuff.

Checked out his thread here on xda and didn't see the RAZR m stock kernel.
I have a cwm backup from when I was using stock kernal. Anyway I can extract just the kernel from that?

No. But you can restore just that system. Wipe dalvik & cache, not data.
OR
Just reflash your rom. Wipe dalvik & cache, not data.

Get the full RSD XML from http://sbf.droid-developers.org
Then, open it using something like 7 zip. You should be able to find the boot.img in there.

Phone not booting after stock flash

Having a bit of bother getting my nexus up and running again. Pulled my phone out my pocket and it was turned off. Powered it on but it wouldn't get past Google screen. No twrp recovery. Nothing. So done the usual and get nexus toolkit out. Re locked and unlocked bootloader. Downloaded stock 4.2.2 flashed it but still stuck at Google screen. Can get in to fast boot but that's it.
Any help appreciated because I'm not sure what to do next
Cheers

Try going into fastboot, and flashing stock with the official firmware from google (Type Nexus stock on Google). If you want to, you can even replace the recovery.img inside the zip for a custom recovery

Been installing stock from fastboot but can't get into recovery to wipe it so that it will boot.
What program can I use to compress tgz files. I've changed the recovery to twrp but not sure how to pack it up again

When I flash stock with nexus 4 toolkit it comes up archive doesn't contain boot.sig recovery.sig or system.sig. Why is this?

If you know how to use the ADB and the fastboot command, that is the way to go. It is by far the best way to go. Use one of the guides on this website, don't have the direct link but look for efrants guide for returning back to stock. Search isn't working now

[Q] Should I downgrade to have access to a root method?

Hello. I'm on the new system version 98.18.94 and I was curious if you guys think I should use the droid razr m utility to downgrade to an earlier version so I can root it. Is it suggested that I do that or should I wait for a root method for my current version?

Using the utility before doesn't mean you can use it now. On this latest OTA (and I think the one before), they got rid of the ability to downgrade. There are many people that have tried to downgrade and they get a fastboot fail, but since you're the ONLY one that seems to have this magical ability, go ahead and try it. :good:

That utility is for 2 OTAs ago. If you use it on .94, you risk a brick.

I've bricked my phone before while I was on this update. I used the utility to revive my phone. It worked just fine.

That utility was designed for two OTAs ago. So, if you used it, you would be on that system version if your bootloader was unlocked or you would have a soft brick and fastboot fail if your BL was locked. If you took the utility and replaced the .xml with .94 (which I've seen some people do), then that's why it would be working now. If you didn't replace the file, then I call BS because your system version is still .94.

I am as confused as you my friend

I'm not confused. If you tell us straight, then we can help a lot more.
Here's how it goes:
- Utility 1.10 was designed for 98.12.4(4.1.1) that came out early this year.
- Utility 1.20 was designed for 98.15.66 or 98.16.1(4.1.2)(I can't remember the exact version) and it had the BL unlock tool in it
There has been no updated utility for the last two OTAs because Matt didn't think it was worth it. Some guys over in the HD forum updated the HD utility to include the newest firmware, but there's been nothing like this for the M.

Okay so I have the razr m utility 1.20 and I tried downgrading with rsd lite recently which obviously didn't work. But it was stuck in ap fastboot mode so I used his utility to flash the stock 4.1.2 system, kernel, radio, etc. It worked just fine. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it worked.

Yeah, but it didn't downgrade you because you're still .94. It probably flashed the baseband (which is possible on a locked BL), which cleared the fastboot flash fail, but it obviously didn't flash the system or kernel because you're still on .94.

Are you on 100% stock MK2 unrooted? If you are on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery with root it will not install the zip as it checks to see if your phone has any modified files.

You won't lose your data. A stock tar install does not erase data unless you do a factory reset.

Ok then i will have to wait for the update.zip from Sammobile firmware

If you cannot get to recovery, you should consider doing more research before rooting or any other modding. How would you fix your device should you soft brick it?
Turn off your device, hold down volume up, volume down and power. The menu will come up and then select recovery.
As for kernel... On your phone go to settings and then about phone.

I suspect that recovery.img flash failed during last step of hydrogen peroxide root.
If flash failed completely, you would have older kernel used for rooting, that is flashed over recovery, after rooting recovery is flashed over older kernel.
If you can't get to recovery using instructions posted ubove, I suggest redownloading hydrogen peroxide and go through the steps again.
