Pretty much what the topic says. I can't find info on this.I need stock kernal so I can run the update. 4.1.2
Right now I'm unlocked, rooted with Stock. Is there a zip someone can provide so I may flash it or step by step instructions on how to complete only restoring the kernal? Highly appreciated!!!

Download the stock files from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You can pull the boot.img from the zip file. Then just
Fastboot flash boot name of image.img
I am very new at this so please understand.
I did what you said and I now have the boot.img file. How do I fast boot flash? I'm really only familiar with flashing zip files using CWM. If you could walk me through it that would be awesome.
Also, after these steps are complete, will this wipe out my nexus back to factory? I didn't want to lose everything I had on it meaning files, games etc.

thanks

You say you're "unlocked, rooted with stock". Are you saying that you've unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery (cwm) and flashed supersu or similar? If you have not installed a custom ROM or kernel you can manually apply the 4.1.2 update via recovery.

That is correct. But when I tried to flash the update using CWM it gave me an error. The reason was because I had flashed the trinity Kernal about a week ago. I was able to figure out how to flash the original boot.IMG using adb, put it back to the stock kernel, and was then able to flash the update using CWM. Finally worked after all those steps.

A few days ago I was begging people to send me a zip file of the kernel and they claimed it didn't exist. This would have been real handy. Do u have a zip file for the latest kernel by any chance???

Is this the stock kernel? Can I use it like any other kernel with a custom ROM? How do I know if I'm JRO03D or something else?:)

Of the 4.1.2 kernel? No, but maybe I should try and find one prior to the 4.2 update to avoid this happening again!

Dude that would be awesome. I can screw around with some custom kernels and alway go back to stock if I need to. If you can do that it's highly appreciated

You can tell by looking at the about tablet section in your settings. It's the build number.

I have fixed the updater and re-posted the files. The sha1 sums have been added to the post as well. Sorry for the trouble :eek:

Hi,
I got the "assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3..." error.
I have installed a custom kernel and it seems that i need the stock kernel to complete the update to 4.1.2, but i have not found the stock kernel of the JRO03S.

Have you any idea where i could find it ?
