Good day fellow OB owners!
Since this is my first android phone, I'm hesitant to flash a new ROM (I don't know how to flash either). So, when I saw the NOVA ROM, I wanted to try flashing a custom ROM, but I'm still undecided. Is it possible to get stock ROM if ever I failed flashing NOVA or can I change back to stock if I'm successful on flashing?
Now I have installed Noejn's Nova Recovery. Please don't bite
Yes, it's easy: instruction how to.
Check here for newest firmware.
Just don't rush it and everything will be ok.

Better use this method if you want 100% original factory ROM:

Thanks everyone!
One other question, if I do that, the phone will be unrooted? And if I flash the phone with a custom rom, this will make my LG like out of the box and I wont have any problem with the warranty?
Thanks
not with a "custom rom" but a "Official rom" !!
If you reflsah an official rom, you won't have any problems with warranty.
Hi,
I think I didn't explain myselft.
My question is this:
I want to flash a custom rom. I use Rom Manager, install a recovery image and install a custom rom. so far so good.
But if I have a problem with my phone and I have to use the warranty. This way I loose the warranty.
But if I flash the official ROM, when I send the phone to the warranty, they can tell if I flashed a phone with a differente rom, if I rooted it? If I flash it will erase the recovery image, the root,everything? And I will not have any problem?
Thanks
As i wrote before, use THIS method. After this you'll have ORIGINAL STOCK ROM which was in your phone after unboxing. There will be no sign of rooting, custom ROM, etc.
as I already said, if you flash Official rom of you region (or operator) (with method 1 or method 2, no matter) you'll have no problem with warrenty

Hello, my name is Jaro.
I have a problem with my Inc S. I used to have stock 2.3.3 ROM, but yesterday I decided to s-off, put CWM and root my device. I tested Cyanogenmod 7, went good, but my main goal was to put in the stock update to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0. Unfortunatelly, I forgot to unroot my device or whatever else need, so after flashing it with RUU my phone could not boot, only green logo on white background and nothing else. Recovery had no result but red triangle with exclamation mark.
I've tried many ways of getting my phone back to shape, but all of them failed. After 4 hours of hopeless wandering, I ask for help.
How to bring back my IncS to life after flashing stock ROM? I think I need to bring it the stock recovery (dunno how to do it exactly, tried many options), then either S-ON and flash the ROM, or flash the ROM and S-ON.
I am forced to used old Symbian-esque Nokia, so please help!
Hi Jaro,
Did you see the FAQ at the top of the forum? 2nd question/answer should fix you up.
Hello, I have an HTC Desire C, Fido. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery. The problem I have is no rom I have flashed has successfully booted. It seems I have to turn S off. I have seen methods to do so but not on my Hboot version.
Is it possible to turn S off on Hboot 1.28?
There is no S-OFF on our phone.
boot.img have to be flashed via fastboot
S off doesn't affect ROMs at all, you must be doing something wrong
I have been flashing the boot.img that comes with the rom I got, Nameless 7.4 build1. Here are the steps I take. First wipe all data though recovery, then flash boot.img, then flash .zip. Upon first boot, there is either a boot loop or boot's to a point of "optimizing applications" then restarts.
What is the best rom for use in Canada? I just installed Nameless 7.4 but it freezes and the first HTC splash screen. I dont want stock.

Hi,
I do have a Desire C from Virgin Canada.
I have tried other custom roms - nameless and revolutionmod. Revolutuionmod is better, but I found it unstable. Dont know if the instability came from the rom itself or the kernel.
After a lot a search I found the best option, for now, to return to the stock rom.
I have removed all the junk (with titanium backup) and the phone runs fast and smooth, with quite good battery life.
Suggestions/warnings:
- apply the ota update, if any quickly and BACKUP your working rom; if you modify the rom, or the recovery, you will not be able to install the ota update
- if ever you'd like to go back to stock rom after mdifying rom/recovery, this would be not possible for now because there is not any canadian stock rom for desire c
- if you install any custom rom, the odds are that the wi-fi will not work; you have the flash a custom kernel, such as prometheus kernel from nikhil, to make wi-fi functionnal.
Sense based ROMs will have WiFi with stock kernel, cm based ones won't even boot with a stock or sense kernel.

I personally hate sense so I went with revolution senseless rom 3.5 because wifi was borked in most others but the amazing devs found a fix for it so you might want to wait for all the patches to get applied to the roms to get wifi working before you make your choice. I also experienced some difficulty when I first rooted a desire c and you're having the same difficulties it seems. My problem was in the kernel. Eventually I just flashed completely stock everything with no mods tweaks or anything special and and booted right up. Try not to do anything fancy till you get the hang things
Let me know I you're having further troubles and I would be glad to help you!

For me wi-fi didnt work. Once I flashed nameless rom, then no stock kernel returned the wi-fi back, even if I restored the stock rome backupd earlier. Flashing prometheus kernel brings wi-fi, regardless of the rom (nameless, revolutionmod, stock).
If I flash a stock rom, with its stock kernel, then wi-fi works.
well fwiw i am in canada and had no issue at all with desense rom,and just flashed the cm10 rom yesterday and lovin it!!
Hi there!
First of all, yes, I'm completely new to modding Android phones. Not so new to modding in general though, which makes me question why I made such a nooby mistake... but alas, I now have to ask what many might think to be a nooby question in order to fix said mistake.
Just as the title said, I accidentally installed CWM before flashing my phone, and am now unable to launch into Recovery Mode. I know that there's a way to get it revert it to stock recovery, but as far as I've been able to tell, there's no way to do that without going into the Recovery menu in the first place. Does anybody have an idea what I can do?
My phone can still launch to the firmware (stock firmware, but am planning on installing Cyanogenmod 11), so for now I'm alright but considering the OTHER problems I'm having with the stock firmware, I'd really like a way to get back to my installation ASAP. If I can't, I'll get to my problems with the stock FW later...

We continue in the other thread
So, I'm a total newbie at android rooting but, I decided to take a shot at it a few months ago. I flashed the kernel of my Android 5.1 Note 5 to a rooted one, now, I'm about to give the phone back to T-Mobile, but I certainly want the root gone before I do that just for the sake of things going as smoothly as possible.
I didn't flash any custom roms or anything, its still the stock rom, just a rooted kernel. Would doing a simple phone reset through the normal settings put everything back to normal/unroot and get rid of that "Kernel is not seandroid, enforcing" message on boot? Or would it require just simply flashing a stock kernel back through Odin? Or something else? I really just need that damn message gone.
If need be, I have TWRP flashed as the recovery as well.
// NEVERMIND, problem solved.
how do you solved it?
I think Odin should do the trick.
