Beginners • How to revert changes made by rpi-update?

$

After running rpi-update (I thought it was required to get my NVMe drive working), my system started showing this message every time I try to update:
Newer kernel available
The currently running kernel version is 6.12.45-v8-16k+ which is not the expected kernel version 6.12.34+rpt-rpi-v8.
Restarting the system to load the new kernel will not be handled automatically, so you should consider rebooting.
I already tried:

Code:

sudo apt install --reinstall raspberrypi-kernel raspberrypi-bootloader
but it didn’t help — the system is still running the kernel from rpi-update.

Everything works fine, but I would like to go back to the stable kernel from the official repository.

Is there a way to revert to the stable release without reinstalling the whole system, or is a fresh install the only option?

Code:

uname -r6.12.45-v8-16k+

Code:

vcgencmd version2025/08/27 20:01:47 Copyright (c) 2012 Broadcomversion 000d3ca2 (release) (embedded)
