Is it possible to flash a custom kernel like Trinity to my Gnex stock 4.2.2 rom without wiping?

Unlocked bootloader is needed to run a custom kernel. Root is needed to tinker with and make proper use of said kernel unless you wanna run the stock values. And really, what's the fun in that? Since (if I remember correctly) unlocking your boot loader requires a wipe, then no I don't think you can. But considering most of us have probably done fresh installs literally hundreds on times, I can tell you it doesn't take long at all to set your device back up. Just do it.
My Gnex has unlocked and rooted already, so I can just flash without doing any wiping, right?

Oh! Yeah you're golden then. Wipe cache and dalvik then flash the kernel.

Yeah, just flash the kernel in recovery and wipe both caches and fix permissions before and after flashing the kernel.

That's how 99% of users flash kernels anyways. I usually do as that gives me a zip on my phone to flash back to a different kernel in case of emergency.

While I agree with why this is here LOL, just find a kernel using the XDA App from the market, go to the beginning of the thread to find download link, then reboot recovery and flash new kernel you just downloaded. Make sure you wipe cache and davlik before flashing. Good Luck.

Download titanium back up. Back up all app data. Make sure your on the latest clockwork mod or twrp. Wipe data factory reset flash mmuzzy 4.2.2 rom let apps restore from play store then restore app data from titanium back up and profit.

You can, but will she even notice if its updated? I'd fastboot flash all except userdata.img, in your case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
so i can get the system img and boot img from 4.2.2 and flash it on her Gnex and itll work?

I think Titanium is your best bet... After I flash a rom I restore apps and data (not system apps) before I even sign into my Google accounts, it's never failed, I've have backups that I've used since Titanium came out, it's never failed me and I've never had any issues with it...

THIS!
Trust me ANY other custom ROM is usually ALOT better than pure stock, she will appreciate it mor as an update!
Any custom rom will have advantages over plain stock.
I also have a similar question. Is there any way to stay on stock unrooted 4.1.1 and get the 4.2 lock screen?

I think that would take some serious tomfoolery, a lot of that stuff is in the framework I believe, I could be wrong though...

If you flashed the latest Samsung Touchwiz 4.2.2 UVUAMDL stock firmware and replaced
the kernel with a modified or custom one then you are surely going to loose root access
and you will need to re-root the phone.
Good luck!

Generally speaking, flash, clear both caches and reboot. Some say fix permissions also. Either way should work.
Sorry for my english, I`m quite bad... I was wondering if someone could help me with my gnex, Some months ago i bought one, it was rooted and with the bootloader unlocked. Í´ve changed the ROM so many times and then i decided to go back to stock. The problem that I have is that my phone is only working with 4.0.4, I´ve tried everything... odin, the tollkit, re-locking the bootloader and trying to update by OTA, nothing works. When I try to update it to 4.1 or another version it keeps on bootloop. I´ve tried changin the baseband, kernel, recovery, tried all official ROMS whit toolkit... Only 4.0.4, cm9 it works but when i try to uptade it goes on bootloop again...
I don´t know what to do. I`m sorry if I`m posting in the wrong section...
When you was flashing ROM's did you do a factory reset?

Yes, of course. Toolkit os flashing the userdata.img and erasing all. Then in recovery I try the factory reset but it keeps con bootloop...
How do you try to update? What ROM do you want to flash? Which recovery do you use? Using which method do you try to update?

Did you try fastboot? That erases everything and has the highest chance of succes.

My maguro/gnex happen like this as well.
What i do, copy any custom rom(4.4 latest) into sd/data when in ics rom.
Then i flash cwm recovery using adb in fastboot
Then i boot into cwm then flash that custom rom zip file.
And it works.
Or you can find stock jdq39/4.3 in zip and flash that.

Did you try installing the stock factory 4.3 ROM from Google?
Search the forum and you will find the link, download and use fastboot it even the toolkit and install that. That will erase everything and should have nothing to do with your recovery or root.
But you will end up with stock 4.3 ROM
