Anyone have a link to the stock kernel with instructions on how to flash? Or is it the same way as custom ones.
Thanks.
Download a stock RUU and you can extract the boot.img from it and then you can flash it through fast boot.

Hi there!
My HTC One X is running ARHD 7.2.1 and I'm planing of installing Faux custom kernel. My question is, how do I switch back to stock kernel and stock Rom? I did a nandroid backup before I installed my first custom Rom on this mobile if that matters? And an extra question, when installing a custom kernel you just flash the boot.img and install the zip using CWM, right?

If you flashed a different boot.IMG then you'll need to download stock one searching is your friend.
If you didn't then just boot into cwm and restore.
If you want 100% stock then you can flash stock recovery also available on the forums.

Ok, thanks. But what about the kernel, is the stock kernel included in a stock recovery?

No it isnt. But there is a thread in dev section where you can find stock kernels. At the worst case, find a matching ruu and extract the boot.img from there.

Hi,
I have viperx running on my HOX, I plan to back this up and try other roms.
The question is do I need to flash the boot.img in fastboot before I install a backup version of viperx or can I simply restore without flashing the boot.img.
I assume that if the boot.img is the same you can do this...
I was kinda hoping I could do what I did with the desire and have several roms backed up for whenever I need them.
Your backups will also have boot images in their folders. And unless you flash the exact same rom, you must flash the backup boot. Img from fastboot.

So if I flash the the boot .img for the Coredroid rom then flash coreDroid would I be then able to restore with cwm recovery the viperx rom without having to flash the boot.img for the viperx rom.
If both use the same kernel yes, otherwise you have to flash ViperX boot. Img in your backup directory from your pc using fastboot.

Ok last question I promise, is tha boot.IMG the kernel, if so if I use the faux kernel will that suit most roms coredroid in particular

faux kernel is compatible with almost all the roms.
Give it a try and find out for your self. you can always return back to stock kernel.
Hi guys,
I'm reading about custom roms for one x and in installation sections usually are infos about flashing new firmware packages before installing custom ROM from SD. Now I have stock JB with 3.16.69.3 firmware. For example I'm going to flash Android Revolution HD where is older one: 3.14.401.31. Do I have to flash this package via adb or just downlaod the rom .zip file and flash in recovery? What I should do? Thanks
First ... you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom and store it somewhere safe !
Then you download the rom.zip file and copy the boot.img file from within the rom.zip to the fastboot folder, and the rom.zip to the sdcard of the phone
Flash the boot.img file, enter recovery and perform a full wipe. Then install the rom.zip via the recovery menu
And if you are on stock recovery you have to flash a custom recovery first !
The firmware update is needed for jellybean ROMs that have HTC sense 4.0+.
As you already have stock jellybean on your device.
You already have a high enough firmware to flash the custom variants so you don't need to worry about updating firmwares

Thank you for quick reply!
I already have custom recovery ok. Do I think correctly that boot.img is modded kernel image? It is safe to "downgrade"? And last question, what about hboot; I have 1.36.0000 one, it is good?

You have nothing to worry about, all s fine to flash any rom in here. And its not really a downgrade. The software number is a bit different but its all JB

And if you flashed the rom with the correct boot.img and your radio signal/WiFi doesn't work ... Check this thread

You have the same software number. That's why the nandroid backup is important
I'm currently on stock 3.14 and got a update notification for 3.20, the only mod if done is a custom kernel. Is it safe for me to install the update, I've also got clockworkmod recovery

You need to have stock rom(boot.img) + stock recovery to install updates...

Not if he flashed a custom kernel too (as stated in the OP) Then he needs the stock boot.img and also the stock modules !
What's the main version number
Fastboot getvar version-main
I can make you a flashable zip for the modules. That we way you can safe yourself from restoring a full backup
