Just use TWRP and only backup boot?

If you're in a custom ROM, flash that ROM again

[Q] How can I revert back to stock ROM

Hello everyone.
It seems tinkering with things have made it problematic.
I installed Team Win recovery. However, when I try to restore from my backup my phone goes into a boot loop.
How can I install back to my stock rom? It seems something I did has made the phone either hang or reboot often.
Flash kernel which is in backup folder

If I do this via "restore" I get caught up in a boot loop. Any other suggestions?
Enter into twrp then restore rom after that flash kernel or else flash with stock ruu.

Can I flash the entire zip file or do I have to extract and manually go through each .img file?
If u want stock ruu then go for above link n follow steps. If u want recover from twrp then restore it via twrp(backedup files r already in twrp backup folder) and don't forget to flash boot.img

So restore backup in sd card under twrp backup. Then flash boot.img? Where do I get this boot.img? If I still have original boot.img from vm USA .so far I have rooted and unlocked the boatloader. I used twrp and backup my NAND and now want tot backup the boot.img before I add a custom rom like PAC,man s rom.

AFAIK.. no, we can't.
We need the original stock boot.img
Today I have time to make some test.
The boot.img in TWRP backup folder is boot.emmc.win; we need to rename it to boot.img.
Then I use Dsixda kitchen to rebuild the boot.img and yes... it can be flashed in fastboot and it works

Running AOKP.
Pacman was pretty cool until I tried to take HD video with it. The camcorder works with AOKP.

The kernel must be compatible with the ROM. Usually, Sense version and Android version need to match.

I'm sorry, is it actually possible to flash a kernel with unlocked bootloader and s-on? Before I s-offed, I could not flash New kernel via recovery, is there a way to do it other than via recovery?
Edit: I suppose if the new kernel was in boot.IMG format, then you could flash it in fastboot.

yes The Kernel In the .zip format can be flashed in two steps.
First Flash The Zip File In Recovery
Then Flash Boot.img via Fastboot,fastboot flash boot boot.img

What's the first step for?
I think the whole point of this thread was the op wants to try different kernel with existing Rom on the phone using a kernel.zip .
My original answer was if your s-on you can't flash a new kernel.
What I didn't however include is you can't do it via recovery, using a downloaded kernel.zip which was my mistake. But I would have thought that was obvious, because that was the original question.

But...what does flashing the zip do that flashing the image doesn't? Am I missing something?

According to me,The Flash Zip is required to place the files in the system directories...
It would be the same reason you have to flash the boot.IMG manually after flashing a Rom from recovery (cwm, 4ext etc) because it doesn't get flashed to the boot, same reason kernel doesn't flash via recovery. HTC unlock but still s-on doesn't allow you to mess with kernel directly or via recovery except using fastboot.
Atleast that's my understanding.
May I also add my own personal experience, I went straight to htcdev to unlock my phone, my experience with my HTC legend gave me the knowledge to do it without issue except the boot.img which through me a little. Long story short after flashing Rom and boot.img I wanted to try new kernel but it wouldn't work then I used google and found out via a different forum site the reason, which is HTC'S official unlock does not allow access to kernel with s-on....

haha then you should read more on how to install a custom kernel
the boot.img is the kernel itself and the zip always contains the matching modules.

Can I flash OTA when I have a stock rooted Rom?

Hey guys, just wondering I got the system update message to 4.4.3 . But since I'm stock rooted with a custom kernel. Is it possible to flash the OTA over? This would wipe the existing custom kernel and root right? Thanks in advance guys.
