[Q] Flashable "stock" 3.1 Kernel?

[spiff72]

Hey everyone...

Is there a flashable "stock" 3.1 kernel package that can be saved on the SD card and flashed with CWM recovery in the event that the current overclocking kernel is having issues? I just wondered if this was possible...

I have nandroid backups to revert to, but if a kernel problem develops, it would be quicker to just flash the stock version...

Thanks
Jeff

No. The only kernels that support root are the custom kernels available in the development section. To use the stock kernel you have to unroot.

So maybe I should rephrase my question. Is there a kernel that is part of the 3.1 rooted ROM(s) that are floating around in the development forum? (closer to stock than the Tiamat rooted ROM)?

Actually - this is sort of moot - as long as you have a recent Nandroid backup, I can always revert back to that...

Thanks

You can take a 3.0.1 stock boot.img from Moto's site, patch it with the 3.1 update zip, and then that'll be a stock 3.1 kernel boot.img. I think this was done somewhere here, actually, but I can't remember the thread details.
