Default [HOW TO] Get a Completely Stock Kernel + Root!

I just confirmed what leatherneck6017 discovered in Bubby's stock kernel thread.
Basically, there's a simple (although sort of drawn out) process for getting yourself both a stock kernel, and root access. Here's the steps I followed:

First, I flashed the stock kernel linked on the first page of the thread above. Coming from Zedomax, this removed root, and brought me back to stock (Albeit with SU still installed)

Second, I followed Bubby's instructions in This thread to install Clockwork Mod, and then flash the root .zip in CWM.

Third, I reflashed the same stock kernel I flashed in step one.

Voila, I now have a stock kernel--and root!

All thanks to Bubby for his hard (and amazingly fast) work on this device.
I don't know if anyone else is even interested in doing this, but I thought I'd put it out there, since what I've wanted since Day 1 is a stock kernel + root and now, in a roundabout way, I've got it! Much thanks to ACS, and I hope this helps someone.

Boo Ya! Worked like a charm, many thankx good sir! Root is back, SetCPU is locked at 1200, and now I'll be watching for LOS and checking to see if my BlueTooth connection is back to normal... although at this pace there will be something shiny and new to flash by noon HaHa!

Good question, I just tried it. It's got a stock recovery on it after following the process above.
