Just note than once a kernel is flashed, you may need to reflash your currently applied phone image to get back to the stock kernel (no wipe required). I am not sure why, but the last few times I tried reverting to stock kernel by re-flashing my backup, my phone bootlooped, haha.
Perhaps I needed to remove the magisk module first, reboot, and then reflash stock kernel? Or perhaps the other way around? It's just a live and learn situation ¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯

When you say you tried reverting to stock kernel by re-flashing your backup, do you mean re-flashing a stock boot image backup? If so, there are other images that custom kernels modify that also need to be flashed to properly return to stock, i.e. stock boot.img, dtbo.img, vendor_boot.img, vbmeta.img and vendor_dlkm.img. vbmeta image doesn't have to be re-flashed if verity and verification are disabled.
But yeah, may be easier just to dirty flash the factory image.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, that was clearly the mistake that I made - so thanks! I'll just be dirty flashing the factory image from now on if I want to revert to the stock kernel.

Hi guys,
Is it possible to flash a custom kernel with stock rom (4.0.2) that is rooted?
Thanks in advance.
The kernel will have to be 4.0.2 compatible, but yes you can do it.
I have some question on this thread, If I flash the custom kernel to stock rom, when the new stock rom update launch, How do I got the update.
thanks,

No. You will have to flash back the stock kernel for the update to install automatically.

The stock kernel is part of the boot.img file in the factory images. Extract it for the version of Android that you are on, and flash it.
Anywhere I can find a stock kernel for Oreo? I'm on the US Unlocked stock 8.0, and cleanslate seems to have broken my phone.

Can't you just extract it from the RUU using the desktop RUU decrypt tool?

You guys think that's enough? How about the modules, did you pack them along with the boot.img. strange behavior may occur without the stock modules.....
Just saying

I just downloaded the kernel, seems to enough restoring the stock boot.img.
For example the modules, patch, ramdisk, just a placeholder for anykernel, nothing unpacked from here to the system. So basically yes.
I flashed a modified bootloader to use magisk with oos as it forced seslinux to premissive
now i need to go back to stock bootloader
can anyone provide me zip for the stock bootloader so i can flash it throught twrp
the modified bootloader thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/magisk-oxygen-os-8-0-op3-3t-t3689901
the mordified bootloader zip file is in the download links ->magisk 14.3 zip-> oneplus_bootloader.zip
this might also help

Sure? You're wrong: the mentioned link include only bootloader+modem that are coming with every OOS release.
There's no system partition, because that packages are built for custom rom users.
I used them for a long time, until I went back to modded stock.
Ps also full firmware include bootloader+modem partitions, otherwise you would get in hard brick especially with major updates.
Are you referring to a particular partition? What you mean for firmware?

Yes they do include that bootloader img i have tried flashing multiple boot images but i used a bootloader zip from. A dev that changed the setting of my selinux of bootloader from enforced to permissive in order to use magisk 14.2 with oos as magisk earlier didnt support enforced state.... That is only poossible to replace when you have a bootloader zip that include instructions to do so .. So the default bootloader zip will have that instruction as default values
Did you find any solution?

You will brick your phone as simple as that... You cannot use slots A/B with stock and AOSP simultaneously.
Read the guides on my signature and take care.

And I don't want to, what I'm trying to say is that if I want to go back to stock I can do it fully, including recovery, I don't want to have two systems installed at the same time, just stock or AOSP. And thanks for that post, I'll check it, I'm new in this.

If you return to stock, the recovery is included. You don't need the stock recovery to go back to stock ROM. There is also a guide for "returning to stock".

Recovery is in our boot.img. Flash that and you'll have stock recovery.

Does unlocking the bootloader stops the phone from receiving OTA?
Hello, I am wondering if I can flash the stock boot.img again to de-root my device in case I want to go back. Is it also possible to reflash the entire stock rom again from fastboot? If not how would I go about doing that.

Yes flashing the original unpatched boot.img will unroot.
If you made any changes while rooted, they will remain and may cause issues,

Thank you for your quick response.
unrelated question, but I also plan on porting TWRP onto this phone too. Is there any chance of bricking my phone if I were to boot up a custom recovery from fastboot, not flash, but BOOT it? If its incompatible would it just default back into fastboot or something like that?
