[Q] Reverting to Stock Kernel - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
For the past week i have been messing around with different kernels on my HTC One 4.2.2 running the Stock ROM. I have tried a couple of different kernels and although they do provide a fun experience, especially with overclocking and what not, i would like to return to the Stock kernel. I have tried to find out how to do that but i haven't reached a conclusion.
At the moment the problem is that i cannot find the stock kernel.
I have heard something about pulling the stock kernel from a full download of the stock ROM, but to be completely honest, im not all too sure about how to do that, and I don't want to make a stupid decision and end up bricking my device.
So, can someone please tell me where or how i can get the stock kernel for the HTC One 4.2.2 Stock ROM?
If there are any special ways to flash the kernel that would be great. (As far as i know just flashing it through the custom recovery works fine)
Thanks

Hey,
I had a quick look at the link you sent me through the pm, and I think you may have sent me the stock recovery, while I am after the stock kernel.
From what i've seen the kernel should be a .zip file, while the file in the link you sent to me was a .img.
Thanks though, but I am after the stock kernel and not the stock recovery.
Thanks

You can extract the stock kernel from the stock ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
it's based on:
Code:
HTC update build 2.24.401.8
Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (JDQ39)
HTC Sense 5.0
Release status: release-keys
Kernel: 3.4.10
EDIT: I just saw that part

What version are you running 2.xx.xxx.x?
I'll extract the kernel for you.

Hey,
Thank you for the offer.
Anyway, I checked under Software information it showed that i am running software number 2.24.980.2
As you know, its the stock ROM and it's running 4.2.2
Thank you.

Hi.
I have the same problem, I used custom kernel but now I would like to revert to stock kernel , I have the the HTC one pn07110. Has somebody the stock kernel for this device with Android jb 4.2.2 ?

The first was extracted from the stock ROM of 2.24.401.1 and the second extracted from a CWM backup I found of HTC__039 v2.24.980.2. You can use either one, they will both give you kernel v3.4.10-g445d072
I've uploaded both, because I wasn't sure if the CWM backup was completely stock or not.
These are img files, so you have to flash them using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot_2.24.401.1.img
or
fastboot flash boot boot_HTC__039_2.24.980.2.img
Just to put your mind at ease, I flashed both on my phone to test, and both passed with flying colours

Need Stock Kernel too
hi there,
i want to update the newest OTA, but ich use the elementaryX kernel (tap2wake, you know )
i already reverted to stock recovery, but my update just doesn´t work...
now someone in another forum told me i have to use the stock kernel, too
can someone provide me the stock kernel for my m7ul version 4.19.401.9?
thanks in advance

Though I don't think that's the problem, but here you go:
fastboot flash boot boot_4.19.401.9.img
It's probably something else that is not allowing the OTA, what kind of error do you get?

it means the file isn't 100% stock, and therefore the OTA cannot proceed.
As an example, the updater script from 3.62.401.1 to 4.19.401.8 has this:
Code:
set_progress(0.509804);
apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/ansi_cprng.ko", "44015172e4f2d836a602b873f6ad4ea428ecd0eb", "46d3269597bfaac74ed9be80c39f49ca1b1ececb") || abort("\"/system/lib/modules/ansi_cprng.ko\" has unexpected contents.");
so at about 50% of the system checks, it is checking the file you mentioned, and finds it has a different SHA-1 hash than what it expects. (this file was probably changed by the custom kernel, as well as other files)
so you need to set all modified files back to 100% stock.
I guess there are two possible ways:
1- if you have a 100% stock nandroid backup before installing custom kernel, restore that
2- find a stock 4.19.401.9 ROM, and flash it.

does that mean reinstalling the stock kernel will not work?
or is there a chance it will work after installing the kernel?
btw: how do i install the .img file you postet? via fastboot?

No chance it will work, zero!!
I just had a look at ElementalX, and it changes a lot of files!
so the above two options are the only ones you have if you want to take the OTA.

[Q] Clockwork Mod and Understanding it

I want to know the architecture of the files in the phone so i can better understand what im doing so i dont mess up. If someone can give me a step my step of clockwork mod i would greatly appreciate it...specifically:
(1) is there a way i can change / upgrade the clockwork recovery version of my phone... if so how? (check note on bottom)
(2) whats the most recent version if i decide to do so (where can i find it)?
**NOTE**: I've flashed different clockwork mod versions via Rom Manager, but when i hit boot into recovery off my current ROM, it always goes to the same version. (v2.5.1.0 Speedmod ULFK)

the version you are booting into is built into the kernel you are running. you cant update it unless you use a different kernel. the voodoo kernels run v2.5.1.3 usually

not true just like the OP said you can flash different versions through rom manager for kernels that dont have it built in. (stock kernels)
To OP if its built into the kernel you cant change it, see above.
i forget where but there is a website from the creators and they have every version available for every phone in a long list.

im sorry, but this is incorrect. you can flash a million times with rom manager, but if its built into the kernel "WHICH HIS IS" then it doesnt matter....you arent updating it unless the kernel updates it.

its a reading comprehension thing. he didnt comprehend what was said in my post OR the OP
the OP stated he was on Speedmod ULFK.....that means its baked in....that means that he cant update the version...
why is it ok for Trusselo to say I'M wrong and its not ok for me to say hes wrong?

I'm currently running:
Model Number: SGH-I897
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000UGJK4
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #54
Build number: FireFly 2.2
this may seem like a novice question, im still trying to understand everything about my new phone;
when flashing a new ROM, through clockwork, does that include a kernel in the rom package?
in other words, if Rom ABC is running kernel #abc and i flash Rom XYZ, will the kernel change? how do i change the kernel without changing the rom?
All ROMs as far as I know include a compatible kernel and modem. Inside the ROM zip you'll find 4 folders plus the META-INF. The updates folder has the ROM (zImage) and modem.bin, which are flashed to the write-only memory. The other 3 are copied in the same structure as the zip file after fomatting (sdcard is copied without formatting).
This is probably in Q&A, but anyway. To flash only a kernel or modem, get the CWM zip of it, put it in sdcard, reboot into recovery, select zip and go. Make sure kernel and modem are based on the same hardware (i897, i9000, etc.).
And last but not least read, read, and read more. This is just info I've read many times here.
where can i check my modem version? is it the same as "baseband version"

[Q] Looking for stock kernel

Hi,
i've flashed the tbaldens kernel to my one. All went fine.
But i forgot to backup my stock kernel, Shame on me
Maybe someone could upload a backup of the Stock Kernel. Or is there any way to get the stock kernel on other ways i've missed until?
Device Info: HTC One 32GB
Provider: T-Mobile Germany
Rom: 1.29.111.11
Thanks in advance.

if you got a custom rom just flash it again it will go back to stock or if you done a cmw backup flash that and it will go back to stock
Thanks for the answer, but i don't have any CWM Backup or anything else with stock kernel. And i don't wan't to flash a Custom Rom for this. At the moment i'm still on stock rom and i would keep the Stock Rom.
Should be enough if someone could backup the kernel and upload it anywhere.

Rooting Help

Hi guys,
Trying to root my note, i've got jellybean 4.1.2 and followed a guide, but my baseband version is XXLT3 but the guides i've seen are for XXLT5, now does this make a difference? My instinct says yes, but I've yet to find anything on rooting with XXLT3, so anyways I went ahead, used odin and tried rooting, got the green pass but downloaded the rootchecker app and it's telling me it's not rooted.
I'm stumped, any ideas?
Thanks in advance

For the stock LT5 ROM, its base band is LT3. You can get root by flashing kernels for LT5, for example Philz kernel LT5.
Head over to philz thread

U can use xxlt5.. Download the zip file place on exr sd, go to recovery choose install zip select philz.zip file and you will have root and custom recovery

My baseband number is N7000XXLT3; but my build number is JZO54K.N7000XXLT4; so should I get the flashing kernel for LT5 (as you said for LT3) or for LT4?
Thank you!
Use lt4. Match the build number not baseband.

N7000 Rooted, But No Firmware - Whoops!

Hi all,
First post, so please go easy on me!
Earlier today I rooted my N7000 Glaxy Note, UK Version (Unlocked). However, I have since managed to clear the Firmware (ICS), and now I have nothing on there. The phone itself will not boot, and presents me with PhilZ Touch 3 CWM Base Version: 6.0.2.7
I was trying to get Kitkat on the device, however now I have nothing on there and every time I try and install the rom I downloaded (CM-11), I get an Error 7 within the recovery, so it aborts the installation.
Can anyone direct me at all? When looking for stock Android, I cannot find any for my exact device, etc. They are all different carriers / mobile networks.
To be clear, my device is as follows:
Galaxy Note N7000
Unlocked UK Model
XXLSA
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. To flash KitKat you'll need a different recovery so flash the latest raw kernel.
2. You can flash any N7000 stock ROM , it doesn't have to be the same as your old one.

I am not completely clued up to this, however I do have a very good understanding of computing, etc. Could you please explain what you mean by "a different recovery, so flash the latest raw kernel"? I wouldn't know where to locate one of these!
Also, is this to say I can flash any stock ROM I find, despite it not being specifically for a UK network, etc?

Well, since recovery is build into the kernel. Any kernel with updated recovery will be fine.

Flash this using this with the help of this
Then use this to get rid of yellow traingle
EDIT: are you sure you are rooted?
what steps did you follow?
Probably failing because no USB debugging?
Does it show 'added' in ODIN?
Try flashing one of the zip philz.
Download the one for your baseband
@LondonT download raw kernel R4 or R5 (search for it) and put it on your external sd card. Flash from philz recovery, reboot recovery and then flash KK rom from your external card along with gapps.

Couldn't find a stock flashable kernel for in between kernel flashes, so I slapped this one together. I used an old kernel script I had from back in the day (see my thread history) and just put the boot.img inside and changed the UI text. Tested working. Enjoy!
Handy! Thanks for your efforts.
Thank you?
No problem! I made it for myself and realized nobody had one up here so I figured it could help at least one person.
Thanks, always handy when you've tried a kernel that is not good
Thank you very much for this man!
Thanks
First of all, thank you for sharing it with us.
Then, from my understanding since this is Google Stock Kernel that comes with Lollipop, I'm assuming it won't allow root even flashing SuperSU ? (Last time I've read the kernel needed to be somewhat compliant with root so you can use root), am I right?
Cheers!

You're correct. So basically what I do is flash this, then immediately flash the next kernel I want to use in the same TWRP session.

Thanks, also, from my understanding, some users reporting broken scripts when switching from one custom kernel to another. The solution so far was to flash Stock kernel before flashing another custom kernel. This happene(d) betweeen Franco Kernel and ElementalX, where sweep2wake functions wouldn't work.
Thanks for clearing this up, a stock kernel is always handy whatever the reason
So, I'm on Franco Rom can I flash this kernel and then xxkernelxx? Thanks in advance

Sure, flash away, as long as it is stock 5.0. Not sure how it would fare with AOSP. YMMV.

Not all kernels modify the devices system files.
I believe though that since Franco kernel modifies the system files and Since flashing just the stock recovery wouldn't alter or restore those modified system files back to normal otherwise it may/will cause conflicts and errors while running the new kernel.
You would need to (depending on your current setup)
1. Dirty flash the 5.0 ROM that your running to replace those system files back to normal and then flash the OP's stock recovery.
2. Fastboot flash the 5.0 Google Factory System.img (whick would reaplace the modified system files) and or the google factory boot.img or just flash the OP,s stock recovery and then any other compatible kernel in one setting.
3. Restore a stock nandroid backup that has the stock system.img and then flash any comparable kernel.

Thank you for this... Very Much appreciate and it will definitely come in very handy! :good:
I like to have a copy of evey stock recovery version for the N5 in a flashable.zip

No problem!
Thank you very much for the thoughtful upload, OP!!
Been meaning to try out Franco's latest nightly for LP to see if I get an improvement in battery life
I'm assuming if I don't like Franco's kernel, I just simply flash this zip in recovery (I use Philz CWM) to return back to the stock LP kernel?

I'm in Elementalx kernel and Rom stock. To receive OTA, flash stock kernel is enough?

You should be OK. I don't know what else you have tweaked.
