i download the doomkernel could i return tho the original without flashing my device
If you're using a stock rom it should be ok but you'll probably have to flash the stock wi-fi modules.

now i have the doomkernel on my device with the original rom but i want to go back to the original kernel could i ??
Would it be safe to use PC companion if I flashed a Stock GB ROM onto my phone but had a custom Kernel (say stock with CWM) still on the phone?
Or do I need to find Original Stock and Original Kernel?
If it's a gb kernel then it should be fine. Though you'll probably need to flash the appropriate modules after the rom.

I think I need to go back to the stock kernel over what I am using now. Does anyone know where I can find one?
You flash boot.img from the stock image package with fastboot.

I am running IOKP 4.3.1 on my nexus. I have downloaded the OTA update for kitkat 4.4. Can I flash the 4.4 update from cwm or so I have to return to stock then flash it? I ask this because my stock backup will not restore due to md5 mismatch. Thanks for any advice.
Anyone?
Just backup, restore a flash the 4.4 ROM.

OK I've backed up iokp. Can I now flash 4.4 from cwm? Or do I need to flash stoc first?

You can only flash an OTA if you are on stock ROM.
OK but how do I get back to stock ROM then? My backup won't restore.

If you don't know how to flash back to stock manually you are probably better off using one of the toolkits in the development forums.

Tasssadar has some stock flashable zips here:

Don't forget to thank him if you use it.
They seem to be stock kitkat. I would need to flash stock JB and then flash KK though, yeah?

No. Just wipe(cache, dalvik cache, data, and system) and then flash KK and you are done.
Another edit: Since you can't use a computer for this, you should download a few other ROMs so you have something else to flash if something goes wrong. I would really only recommend upgrading if you have access to a computer. Things can go wrong very easily. Good luck.
Thanks very much!
They aren't update custom ROMs, they're like factory images. You just need a kitkat 4.4 custom ROM that you can flash in custom recovery. If you don't have custom recovery on your tablet, you need to use your PC to flash it, or just boot temporarily.
Afterwards, restore your tablet, clear cache and dalvik cache, install zip, choose your custom rom, and flash it.
If there is an update for a ROM (such like nightlies for CM) you wouldn't have to restore the tablet, just flash the updated custom ROM because it's just an upgrade.
