android 5.1 flash stock kernel

[swa100]

Hello all,

I'm on android 5.1 and I'm facing the memory leak bug. Some users reported that flashing another kernel fixxes the problem for them, so I'd like to give it a try.. But, how do I flash the stock kernel if it doesn't fix it? Can I just flash boot.img to reflash the stock kernel? Does it affect other settings/data?


Greets,

Flashing boot.img worked. So, this thread can be closed!

Hi,
Am using nexus 5 rooted with custom kernel elementalX. But I forgot to backup my stock kernel. Can you upload the stock kernel for nexus 5 running 5.1? Please?

I tried it before. I installed it with my twrp recovery and it showed that it installed successfully. But after booting it was still on elementalX kernel. Any solutions ?

how do you expect to install it via twrp? lol! you can only flash it via fastboot. i know that twrp CAN flash .img files now, but you have to enable that function first. i dont know if itll flash a stock boot.img?
