If I root and install custom rom, can I get back to stock frf91

I have an unlocked, nonrooted AT&T/Rogera N1 running stock froyo (frf91). I am very interested in rooting and flashing CM6 and trying out other custom roms, but if I want to get back to stock froyo, how do I do it?
Keep in mind that I'm a newbie, and yes I've searched the forums but I haven't seen this specific question asked.
Any help is appreciated, since I'm still learning. Thanks.

Yes, once you're rooted you can switch to any ROM you want with ease, even stock should you wish.

You can even use the ROM Manager application included with CM6 to automagically download and flash stock images. You know, if you wanted to.

Thanks for the help guys!

[Q] Do I really need a custom ROM?

So what I have done to date on my Captivate.
1. Updated to latest Froyo 2.2 using Kies
2. Loaded .NET and etc
3. Rooted using SuperOneClick. Thanks ShortFuse
4. Titanium Backup. Thanks Joel
5. Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine. Thanks Android Central
6. Captivate Toolbox. Thanks Bay_wolf
7. Installed wireless tether 2.0.7 Thanks harald.mue, ulfada
8 Pimped my Captivate- Thanks systoxity, nbs11, and other XDA developers.
Now I'm to the point to ROM or not to ROM. Everything is working great. Further I am hesitant about the possibility of bricking my phone. Should I go for it? What ROM to use? What program to get ROM on phone?
Many thanks in advance.

The custom roms are basically to improve things about stock that others dont like i.e. Speeds, GPS, skins. It is all up to you, to decide whether you choose to go on one, and there is no simple answer to which is the best.

I really don't think you need to flash..
you've got everything you need..
Unless you want a specific theme don't flash

You've put a lot of work into your phone. Most ROMs will have the same features you added to your phone, buts its done for you. I love being able to flash a ROM.
Flashing is like potatoe chips. You can't flash just one.
You really should give a custom rom a try. If you want close to stock flash cognition, or perception. They have all the benefits you want, but run so much faster and smoother than mine ever did stock. I am running FireFly now, I love it. You shoukd definately try lots of ROMs.
I think the captivates are fairly unbrickable. A full hard brick is rare. There must be thousands of successful flashes for every brick. I've had my scares, but could always odin back to stock easily.
If you flash away and you dont like it, you can always go back. Once you try some of the awesome roms here you will kick yourself for waiting so long.
I guarantee you'll love flashing ROMs ... or your money back.

you're very welcome. Enjoy your phone as it is, when you start getting bored or have some free time, try some roms. Roms can sometimes make your phone feel like a completely diff machine. Just look for ones that have great reviews and general feedback.

sorry i dint get you. is there no custom rom available which has 2.2???

By "no" im guessing he meant no..its not that hard bro. if u can write u can read... give a man a fish bla bla bla....
N1

the problem is i have done all the initial steps like unlocked boot loader and rooted after that flashed recovery img now phone has no display so any idea what can be done so i dont go to more than 2.2 thanks

can i flash this one on the nexus one FRF50, Froyo??
LINK

anyone know or can help regarding this please???

If you want to try cyanogenmod, you could install 6.1.1 (based on some form of 2.2.x), I loved it when I was using it (more features and faster than stock), it does looks slightly different from stock 2.2.x though. But I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for in a ROM so please be a little more specific with what you want it to do.
And to the other two dudes who posted, be nice, and don't hate.

As one above me says try cyanogen 6.11
But first you need a proper recovery as it seems you have a slcd device.
Amon Ra 2.2.1 works well on my slcd nexus. Then you can flash whatever you like
Also why dont you try cyanogenmid 7.0? its just awesome blows froyo away, also you might like miui (stable is froyo based. Enough possebilities
To the ppl above: give the guy a break, ok he posted in the wrong section but that doesnt mean you can act like a douche

[Q] Best ROM for my GF :)

Hi All,
Need some advice about the Galaxy S. I am a Nexus S user and would love to get my Girlfriends Galaxy S running better if not as well as my Nexus S. I have tried to get the galaxy S running well but now I think I have done all I can to optimise the stock ROM it has onboard!
I know that for the SGS you must use Odin to flash new ROMs – any warnings to me being a NS user with our easy CWM flashing? I will of course be doing a Nandroid backup of her current ROM in case things go wrong Currently the SGS is rooted and running a branded O2 2.2 Froyo Rom. I have Lag Fixed it using OCLF (Not great I know, but its not my phone I can't always fiddle with it to update it!) and tried to remove bloat using Titanium Backup.
The advice I would love is – which ROM do I put on her phone, when she isn’t the most tech savvy person. I figure there are 3 main options (but feel free to correct me!) for a stable and quick ROM that I won’t have to keep touching and updating or fixing:
Stock 2.3.4 (JVP?)
Nice because it’s stock and from what I’ve read it seems to run fast and is the latest version of phone android like on my Nexus
Darkys ROM
Seems to be a nice option – fast stable and tweaked (a fixed version of stock really no?), but perhaps it has too many options for my non tech savvy GF to be using?
Cyanogen Mod
Only reason I resist this is because it is probably too much of a shift away from the Samsung experience my partner is used to - I would prefer it (I have a nexus so naturally!) but I doubt my girlfriend would appreciate the change. Also it seem CM isn't quite ready for the SGS yet...
Any thoughts or guidance much appreciated! I have searched a lot about the SGS, but not having the phone myself, I figure it might be best to ask users of their opinions and steal your advice!

As this one is for your girlfriend and you are planing already with a "stock" ROM you should for sure go for the latest 2.3.4 Android Version in JVP.
I personally would never go for a "stock" but this is just my personal opinion since I am daily with the phone and can repair things by my own.
Related to ODIN there is not much to say if you read all the guides completely.
I flashed my phone many, many times even using seperat kernels and removing thing before, adding and changing scripts without brick the phone.
Try to safe the EFS dircetory is the only thing I would recommend if it is not mentioned in the guides before doing a flash.
Hope it helps for your decision.

i suggest u use darkky's rom in that case cause the battery alone lasts longer than stock that means more time spent talking to u..

I suggest you leave her phone alone

I would use one of ramads stock deodexed roms, and then flash a custom kernel, that way she gets no lag, stock, you are safe and your love life will thrive! Now that is slick womanizing!
Insanity cm 016/glitchv10c

after couple testing different ROM .... i am very pleased with Juwe's ROM ..... stable , all works fine , fantastic look ....

Darky's ROM is not a 'fixed' version of stock.
Just go with the latest stock firmware for the best performance, ie flash XXJVQ with Odin after backing up all data

I totally agree with this idea

Whack on JVQ deodexed and voodoo mod. Convert to Ext4 and then life = complete. Cyanogenmod is still best though
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Thanks for your suggestions!
Thanks to you all for your help! I think I am going to go for a stock 2.3 based rom either JVP or JVQ - probably JVQ as google talk video works with it, and now skype video works too - both of which she wants.
@solar666
Thanks I'll definitely be following the guides to the letter - and yeah an EFS backup is also on my to-do list!
@doomsdaycs
Battery Life is very much important, but having seen some youtube videos of Darky's rom, I think the interface & option changes & colours might be too much of a shift - I'd prefer it though!
@acejacksooted & @carvax
Id love to leave it alone, but she complains that it isn't responsive like my nexus and lags sometimes - so I don't have much choice but to deal with it!
@slaphead20
Is there much of an advantage to a deodexed samsung rom? Also, I hope you don't use your phone to chat up all women that way
@bisko69
Is Juwe's rom that different from samsung's roms?
@Mothatt
Yeah I think that's the way I will go - safe!
@jaju123
Again, seems like the best option at the moment. Thanks!
Any other thoughts are more than welcome! Thanks again .

All custom-ROMs except CM7 and MIUI are based on Samsung-stock-ROMs.
ROM-cookers of Samsung-based ROMs add some features and change the colors of the UI. So you should take the custom-ROM which has the nicest colors.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

i recommend MIuI GALNET its awesome

Darkys rom!
I've used many roms, but I always flash Darky v10.1 back.
Ist just so goood, battery life is amazing and still the phone is so simple.

Seeing that your GF rom is still in Froyo, isnt it better to upgrade it to at least stock Gingerbread?
Perhaps you can flash a stock deodexed rom, flash a kernel for root and CWM (i recommend SpeedMod), then flash a theme from the theme forums that you think she will like.
maybe you can even make a theme for her based on what she likes
conclusion: Stock rom with custom theme, if she like to stay on stock samsung experience and a nicer UI

Haha I'm sure many people on this site would be more than happy to upgrade their girlfriends ROM to CM7 - more customisation and more options haha!

I recommend darky rom 10.1 and launcher 7 -> fast, stable and... More than easy to handle

I'm looking for a more stable ROM for my G1. I've been running it on the Chromatic Dream for too long, I want something that can make it a daily user again without lagging/much lagging and without draining the battery. Thx in Advance.

well those are some pretty high demands coming from a junior member... j/k
lol im not going to say 1 rom is better than another because it depends what you like in a rom, but to be straight forward with it... Froyo is the way to go, there are many different kinds... stock froyo, themed froyo, even sense froyo!! but i believe the most stable/un-complained about rom would be Froyo by laszlo... hands down this rom is just... almost perfect, so try that and other froyo roms till your happy
happy flashing and good luck!!

Thx for the intel. I downloaded the ROM by Laszlo this morn; I'm hoping to have it flashed on my G1 this weekend. And again Thx.

I also wanted to know since my G1 is already rooted do I have to flash another custom recovery and re-do adb. Couldn't I just load the new custom ROM on the root of my SDCard and flash it?

Where can I find laszlo's latest rom? The only one I could find was discontinued in march.

yeah the sad truth about laszlo's rom is it was discontinued, but is still the most stable... lol and yes you can just put a rom on root of sd and flash to your device... but be sure to wipe data

As long as you do a full wipe via recovery first, that's the preferred way of installing new ROMs...

This phone must have over 100 roms in total, you should be able to pick one from that batch...
