Is there a way to back up the kernel on my existing ROM before I flash dumfuqs latest one? In case I don't like the latest one is there a way to revert back to the original kernel? Thanks in advance!

I might be wrong but i think the normal kernel is included with the rom and you just reflash the rom if you dont like the oc kernal (or nandroid backup)

after you re-boot into recovery using ROM Manager you select "nanadroid" and then select backup... it backs up ROM and Kernel

Ok I get that but I was wondering in regards to lets say if I install the new kernel and then installs apps and make system settings changes and then I want to revert back to the old kernel without losing the apps and system settings? Also I'm asking this because I'm thinking about flashing the dumfuq 3.5 kernel on Chiefs OTA update ROM. Anyone running this combination? Thanks.

Flash kernel, install ROM, done.
A lot of roms require flashing a certain stock firmware first though.
The usual process for many roms= make sure you have the right base ROM if one is required (example: stock .42), fastboot flash kernel, load kernel recovery, flash zip file for ROM.
Make sure to wipe the cache in between through recovery.

Thanks alot. Just what i wanted
Actually i have just thought about this and it does not include the zip. So this will not do the job.
Stock modules are in the stock nandroid (or ruu) these stock boot.img files fit the stock HTC modules. Modules are restored when a stock nandroid backup is restored
The stock 3.20.401 from Mike's thread is fully stock only in a custom rom install way. Only thing after the rom install that is not stock is the recovery.
So basically ive got to restore a Nandroid backup to do this?
Actually im guessing what you really want, you ask for the latest stock kernel. What's your goal with that ?
A custom rom has in 99% a tweaked kernel. A nandroid backup has stock modules + boot.img
So maybe you can point out what your goal is and i can give you the answer to that
Currently i am on Stock rom which is rooted. I basically want the phone in shape ready to receive any OTA that might come out in the near future. Im keeping root with the voodoo rootkeeper.
Ah oke and you flashed a custom kernel on it ?
Yeah i flashed the Tegra 4 one. Gotta say really good kernel, slightly disliked what it did to the screen though.
The easiest way to go back to full stock (modules + kernel) is indeed to restore the stock nandroid. Then its all stock, flash the stock recovery and you are also able to update official ota's (like upcoming sense 5)
Okay thanks a lot for that. Can't wait for that Sense 5 beauty, tried it on the One and certainly an improvement on the very good Sense 4.
Well i used an old Nandroid i had 3.14 software, factory reset, dalvik, then restored the nandroid. The Nandroid restored well except i was left with the kernel. Good thing is though the OTA still works as there is an update to 3.20
Ahhhh false alarm sorry. Me not thinking straight. -_-
The boot.img doesn't flash its self :L
Lol....solved ?
Yeah everything is good now thanks
Good :thumbup:

same here. and if i go back to stock kernel, will my files(videos, images, music, etc) be deleted? i am currently on stock rom with elementalx kernel.
Anyone know of an app or a way?
You could install a custom recovery and create a backup of the entire ROM from the custom recovery or did you just want the stock kernel?
I want to be able to be able to revert back to the stock kernel easily after switching to another without having to reflash kitkat with Odin.
Will you be trying a custom rom? I ask because stock kernels tend to only work with Samsung-based roms. Most custom roms are based on a cm11 or aosp kernel.
ROM Toolbox Pro can backup your kernel. Not sure if the free version will though. You can check

1. Open ROM Toolbox
2. Choose ROM Installer
3. Swipe right
4. Choose Backup & Restore
5. Backup Kernel is 3rd choice.
6. Note backup location so you'll know where it is

Or, if u flash a custom kernel and don't like it and want to revert to the stock kernel easliy, just dirty flash the Rom again, no wiping needed...
I ended up flashing CM11 and I made a complete backup before I flashed.
Thanks for the help guys

Hi! How can I revert back to stock kernel provided by the custom rom? Will I need to restore the backup (boot partition) in twrp? Or do I need to dirty flash the custom rom I'm in? I'm curious and new to this kind of things. Thank you.
