By placing them in "KERNEL" folder and renaming it...

Are you using a ROM ? If so, go to the ROM's page and use the boot.img meant for that ROM.
I'm using stock

You have to find and install stock kernel modules zip file in recovery after flashing the boot image. You can use venom flasher of viper forum to revert to stock

Under android dev thread you will find all official RUUs released. Find the one matching your 415.11 code.download it.
Once downloaded, run it. When the first screen comes up, open an explorer, change dir to %tmp%, you will see two newly created directories. In one of them, find the file ROM.zip and copy it somewhere else. Now exit ruu setup. Open ROM.zip file and in it there are the IMG files you seek. However installing only boot.IMG won't work. They need their modules files to work properly. That's what I meant by flashing the modules zip in recovery.

Stock kernel is the boot.img and cannot be apply from recovery. It must be flash in fastboot mode - fastboot flash boot boot.img or use any kernel flasher. And you need to flash the stock modules too.

I have stock boot.img kernel .I want to flash it via CWM .How to do it?
Grab a custom kernel zip, remove initscripts if present, replace boot.img with the one you want, flash.

They aren't just zips, there has to be meta file, updater scripts yada yada yada. It's easier to just hijack another kernel file and swap out the right files.

You do not extract anything from that zip, just flash it whole from the recovery as you would any boot.img

That IS a kernel, not a ROM. Just flash it via fastboot then... You can also do it via ADB if you know how to, if not, use the search bar

According what I've read in other posts you can't flash a raw kernel.zip with s-on.
It has also been pointed out that a boot.IMG is Rom specific, so they most likely wouldn't be interchangeable between different roms

boot.img is a kernel so don't search for a boot.img in a kernel.zip - it's the same thing only not compressed. ranger4740 is correct. You shouldn't use boot.img from one ROM and put it on another, but that's not what you asked for... As for the fact that you can't flash a kernel.zip with S-ON, I didn't know about that so I can't help you there... Sorry :/ Try asking your question in the kernel thread...

Ok, i also tried to do some research and read some forums, seems my only way to s-off my dhd, which i will be researching next... Thanks:fingers-crossed:
My desired rom has already updated with the kernel that i wanted flash ,so my battery life is now great, although there a bug in battery charging where in it notifies late yet it charges the phone batt. (not that big if a deal for me). Also i created an aroma zip file to install all system update on my phone since the original update flashes the kernel... Thanks for the replies "learn a lot from all those researches i made" :victory:
Anyone know where to get it? to flash in twrp?

Try getting it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441
Download the whole rom and unzip it, you'll find a file call boot.img
Extract it out and flash that to your device in fastboot by using fastboot flash boot boot.img

you are forgetting the modules !
Hi,
I am currently running the 5.1 version of the Digital High GPE rom and would like to flash the stock kernel. I looked some on htcdev but all I found was the kernel source. Is there any place that I can find a flashable zip that will install the stock kernel? Thanks!

You can find a firmware zip there with the stock boot img included.

Awesome! So I extracted the boot.img from the zip file. Now, just to confirm, all I have to do is use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and I should be set with the stock kernel? Thanks!

That would be correct.

Which is why extracting the boot.img from the GPE ROM as I stated in the thread that I linked to is the better option.

So if I flash the boot.img from the stock rom like you stated, do I also have to flash the modules?
