Hi
What happens if I issue task 28, once I replaced the Factory ROM with Custom ROM?
Would it change it to factory ROM or the ROM I just installed?
I could try this, but I am away from my shift now.
Thanks
Ram
Once you've installed a custom ROM, the factory ROM is gone for good, unless you put it back on.

Thank you. Thats what I thought. I think the image would be written somewhere to restore it back after task 28. I haven't found that place, whether it is in the ROM or HDD, not sure.

I'm tired of using all these different cooked ROMS' and each of them have a different problem...some are slow...some are buggy...or maybe it's just my stupid phone/T-Mobile network...or all because it's Microsoft WIndows.
In any case, I'd try going back to Son'y original ROM, is there a way to do that?

slow ?? bugs ??
hmmm...
you don't know the power of the dark side
...or you have not flashed the pure SEX1 R5
Hi! Yes you may install the stock ROM same way you've been installing the Cooked ROM's.
Just Find the original stock one in this Forum's ROM Section (it is a Sticky).
If you use the sdcard method is more simple. After finding the stock Rom xxx.nbh file, just rename it to "Kovsimg.nbh".
Hope this helps.
I just did the same 2 days ago. You can find the stock WM 6.1 Roms HERE.
And as said just rename the image file to Kovsimg.nbh and flash it like any other Rom.

Is it now? I waited one year 'til my warranty expires and now that it's 8 days over I'm seeing this. hehehe. by any chance, is this reverting back to original rom will really re-virginize your Xperia? Re-virginize as in Nintendo Wii re-virginize?. Just wanna be sure though.
Hi, I have a question … I'm still running WM6.1 with a stock R3AA010 ROM. I'm considering installing one of the WM6.5 ROMs (gtrab's SEX1 R5 BareBone ROM). To do this I need to install the HardSPL, I know. If I want to go back to the stock ROM will R3AA010 install using the HardSPL or do you have to re-install the Stock-SPL. If so how do you do that? I'm sorry if these are noob questions, but the guides aren't absolutely clear on this point - or maybe its I'm a little thick

If you've Hard-SPL and put a custom ROM in but want to change to an official rom, just download the rom and flash as you would a custom rom.
You don't have to put Stock-SPL if you don't want to. But if you someday wanna leave it in for repair etc, then you will have to put Stock-SPL on it, for guarantee reasons.

Thanks for the clarification dogans. So just to be clear, if I revert from a custom ROM back to a stock ROM the Stock-SPL isn't installed as part of the process. You have to install it afterward, just as you do with the Hard-SPL - Yes?
As far as i know, the HardSPL cant' be overridden by a usual stock ROM. You have to manual flash the original SPL.
Using a stock ROM with HardSPL isn't a problem, but i can't tell you how to get the original stock SPL back if you did _not_ back it up before (thats what i did -.-).
Maybe someone can tell me how to do this, would be very nice

Correct. Stock-SPL isn't included in stock ROM.
You will have to flash that separately.

have you tried to go in bootloader mode (3-color-screen) turn phone off. Than press vol down button and camera button until you see a 3 color screen, then you you can put in your USB cable and flash a rom you like the same way you did it with the android rom.
Okay. So, I've just acquired a Galaxy Tab off eBay. It's on it's way to me, so I thought I'd burn up a few cycles and go download some goods for flashing as soon as I get it.
The setup: ROM version is Gingerbread. Assume Stock ROM. Model is P1000 (Unlocked GSM).
The question is this. I am completely confused as to what I need to do, and I'd like someone to point me in the right direction. With other devices, I would just root, install custom recovery and voila. Non-stock device. Does this same rule apply with the Galaxy Tab, or is it a new ball game?
Basically, what is the easiest way of getting a custom ROM onto my Galaxy Tab? Do I need to use ODIN and co? Or can I do it all via recovery? Is there any n00b guides that explain installing your first ROM?
I don't want to jump through hurdles that I could have avoided. So, that's why I'm asking you for help. Put me out of my confusion, get a +1 thanks in return. Sounds good, no?
Thanks again. Your help is appreciated.
good day sir.
basically is the same with otherdevices,
root it, install clockworkmod, download and install roms
you will need to flash via odin first because stock rom of gtp1000 have limited options in the recovery mode.
after that, all flashings can be done vie clockworkmod recevery... for your convenience search for these ff. keywords:
overcome kernel
overcome rom
zergrush
cm9 rom
humberos.
no need for thanks buton, i just want to ask you to refrain posting posts in the development forums if you think your post will not contribute to the development, too many assholes there beating each other up and flooding the forum of bullshits.
thanks.
Alright, thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it! Seems to be making sense now...
So, basically, with any ROM I flash, I must use ODIN to flash the kernel? Or will the ROM take care of that? I heard the kernel is mixed in with the recovery system, so I'm a little unsure as to what the go is.
no u just need o flash a kernel with clockworkmod recovery and all succeding flashings be it rom, kernel or anything else canbe done using clockworkmod recovery. of course there are exceptions if the developer specifically requires u to flash via odin
You should follow the Overcome Guide for your first flash, it is comprehensive and easy peasy, lemon squeezy
There are some pics missing in the linked page, I have a cached copy from google that you can refer to also.

Make back up or the original or current rom
I would like to flash my tab with a custom rom, but I also want to be able to revert or go back to the original rom. My question is how you back up your current or original rom so you could restore it back to its original condition? CMIIW but Titanium back up only back up the apps and stuffs but not the rom, or is it?

Please do not hijack my thread. You should make another thread for that - and that's what CWM is used for - making backups!
Hi guys.
I want to get into rom flashing, but to be honest I find it rather confusing to say the least.
It would appear that ROM manager seems to be the easiest way to flash my phone correct?
Am I right in saying that all I need to do is download whichever rom I wish to install, rename it to "install .zip", put this file on the internal SD (not quite sure where exactly), then use ROM manager to flash, then it's done?
Is this the safest way of doing a flash?
Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks mate. I did, but I'm interested in trying other roms other than 2.3.6.

I thought ROM manager took all that out of it. All you need to do is make sure your on latest CWM (which is does for you before you can download, i believe) and then you pick your download. Once it finishes it asks you whether you want to install and it does it all for you...
There is no "safe" way to flash. Something can always go wrong. I advise you follow the directions on the threads of your chosen rom. That way you can learn of the current bugs, the best way to flash based on your current situation (GB, Stock, another ICS etc) and what you may need to do before hand e.g. wipe/factory reset
If you have any questions on a particular installation method search the forum and the thread. If you cant find it then ask within the thread of your chosen rom.
Usually if its another rom i believe the best thing to do is wipe/factory reset from recovery menu and then choose zip from sd card. (But you still shoud read the first 2 pages and last 3 pages of the thread)

What is the CWM, and why do I need that?
CWM = colockworkmod. Its basically the a new recovery menu that gives you more freedom to what you can do whilst in the menu. You have it on non-rooted devices (stock firmware/samsung firmware) but as i said it provides more freedom. I believe almost every rom uses a version of it, either adapted or not.
Im not sure you will be able to use ROM manager on a device that is not yet rooted (rooted means you have administrative privileges like in windows). You will need root access as you will be changing the system files which if done incorrectly will cause something to go wrong. Which is why you wish to use ROM manager. TBH is very hard to do something wrong with the SGS and not be able to come back from it to have a fully capable phone again.
Don't rush into anything though. Don't root or flash anything without knowing the risks and what could happen, and in-turn what needs to be done to correct it. If you know this then usually you will understand what went wrong and how to fix it.
Sorry for leaving all these long messages, just trying to be clear
So i am not entirely happy with the new bootloader ROMs I cannot install CM7.2 on the new bootloader so how do I revert back to the old GB bootloader?
My friend, no offense! But please do not spam the forum..Please make use of the search button on the top right corner of the page.
Answer to your question- Use the AIO toolkit, you'll find it in the Development section!

I did use the AIO tool. All I could do from the new bootloader was to change the partition layout back to GB. I don't believe I could find any option to revert the bootloader itself. If I'm using the tools wrong then please tell me. If not then I don't think it's AIO related.
Which version of AIO toolikit are you using?! Just change it back to GB-CMXX partition layout..

I only found how to upgrade, now downgrade Maybe I just suck at finding the right info at times.

Can you explain the problem properly.. Be little specific about the errors you get..
Try to flash a stock GB ROM with SmartFlash and u will get the old bootloader.
After I reverted back to GB layout. Wiped data/cache and installed CM7.2 in recovery but the thing went into boot-loop.
I then tried to flash JellyBam 3.3 but encountered Symlinks failed (status 7) error. I redid it with both CWM 5 and 6 came with AIO tools. Nothing worked.
Before I flashed the new bootloader these things went without a hitch.
I also did NVflash back to a original ROM and rooted with superoneclick. Still not work. I think something might have busted with my phone.
My friend the ROM u have chosen is Corrupt!! Jelly bam 3.3 doesn't work! I was one of the first to download and faced this same problem. Even if you create your own partition size, it wont work! Download CM10 unofficial.
Download this
http://get.cm/get/5HJ
Duh! Jellybam 3.2 works fine. Shame that.
Still, I don't get it why CM7.2 couldn't install properly like before.
Thanks anyway, mate.
*** EDIT:
I don't know what I did but suddenly CM7.2 works. Along with it I can finally get bridged over to CM10 without the SD card bugs. Awesome!

@Alecsexu said it right. Flash Stock GB Rom. And you will get the old Bootloader back.
