Stock Kernel

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.

Boot.img

Hey, guys I need some help here. I have never flashed the boot.img because i don't know what it is and when you restore a backup does that same boot.img stay put? Do I have to re flash it everytime I go back to a rom?

It's always best to flash the boot.img of the Rom you want to use every time to avoid bootloops and problems

When I restore a backup does the boot.img from that last rom restore?

NO you have to flash the boot.img seperately, using the boot.img that is inside of the roms zip file you are flashing.
You must flash the boot.img in fastboot and the rom in recovery.

Until we have S-OFF, kernel boot images must be flashed manually.
If its the same rom and same version, restoring an earlier backup should work without reflashing the boot image

Question about flahing backups and custom roms

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.

Ahhh I see, thanks, I really wanted to avoid using fastboot but never mind thanks all the same

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
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

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.

[Q] Quick question about flashing custom firmwares.

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?

Ah yes ..... that's what i forgot

Good news for me. Thank you.

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

Thank you so much, guys now i have to charge battery and i'll flash arhd

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

Getting OTA

Sir i have htc one x (asia) rooted but i am on stock htc rom with kernal virsion of "3.1.10-g62b3f63
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT"
i dont think that i have changed and kernal but this is the kernal after i got root access.
I wanna get ota upeates as htc has started giving updates to one x +
So what should i do with my one x (rooted) for getting ota??

You need stock rom, stock kernel and stock recovery, all of witch you can get here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
Make sure you get the ODEXED one or it won't work
If you are on stock rom then there is no need for that, only download boot.img and recovery from there
You can stay rooted, and you don't have to relock your bootloder or anything

Actually i have taken recovery using clockwork mode and i have all this boot.img file and recovery.img file
So when i came back on stock rom i recovered both of them
Just the difference between my one x and unrooted one x is that mine one is rooted and its having kernal which (i m thinking) is different...if u aware of that kernal then plz say me by seeing my kernal virsion which i have stated above...
So with that kernal and keeping root , am i able to get ota?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

the boot.img is the kernel, so if you go into your first nandroid backup from clockworkmod and find that boot.img and flash it via fastboot flash boot boot.img then you are on the stock kernel..

Ohhk thnx
Can u give any link from which i can get stock nandroid backup and its boot.img..
Is it okey of i get boot.img from somewhere and flash it on my current rom...?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

You can get it from the ARHD thread here on sda

1: Who says where that the OP has that actual software number 3.20.401.
Please enlighten me ???
2: your kernel cant change by giving the rom root acces
I dare to say that you only need to flash back the stock recovery.

I have taken recovery through clockwork mode after i unlocked my bootloader
And currently i m on it...now what to do??

So you restored the stock nandroid backup completely including flashing its boot.img ?
Give me the output of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
Then i will get you your stock recovery.
