[Q] How to go back to stock ROM

Hi all,
I'm running one of the AOSP roms and I have CWM Recovery. I've decided I've had enough of playing with custom ROMS because none of them have ever delivered. Please tell me how I can go back to a stock ROM.
Thanks

Download a file from Dr. Ketan development thread and flash it with Odin.
Really easy. I too just went to rooted stock. It more stable and battery great. Haven't restart my phone in a week. No crash. I'm on stock LQ3 rom.

No if your flashing a GB rom through PC odin the GB kernel is flashed before the wipe takes place so its safe to do

I am currently on CM9 rom and want to go back to stock ics for a while. I will want to return to CM at a later date.
Can I do this safely?
Do I return to stock GB and then update via OTA to ICS or is there a safe ICS stock to flash? - remembering that I will want to go back to root and CM at a later date?

I want to go back to GB but I don't know how to. I am currently running LPY ICS and an unsafe kernal, reading these huge threads just makes me even more confused to be honest.
I have Mobile ODIN PRO - is there an easy and safe way to get back using this?

Guys please observe basic forum etiquette and start your own thread if you have an unrelated question. I wouldn't hijack your thread.
I'm already on an AOSP ICS ROM (one of the unofficial versions). How do I flash back to stock safely? How do I get rid of CWM?
Thanks

Guys on the AOSP/CM9 ROM----flash a stock GB ROM via PC Odin.
The guy with the LPY ICS use PC Odin too.
The above you would have found out on your own with 2 mins worth of searching.

There is no "safe ICS stock" currently---all ICS stock kernels have the brickbug.
Best way is to go to stock GB and then via OTA---that way you can get samsung warranty service if you mess up and your phone gets bricked.Alternatively, search around in the forum for stock ICS ROMs-there ought to be a few in the dev/general section.And "where there is a rom,there is info about flashing it"

hi, does anybody know what my original gingerbread version should be as i forgot to take note. i am currently on ics n7000xxlpt and i want to revert back to the original. just have no idea of how to find out.
thanks in advance

Its written on the box of your phone, thats how you can find out, n7000xxxxx something

Best JB rom + how do you get there from stock ICS?

Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS (4.0.4).
My phone has recently started occasionally/randomly restarting itself.
I've read that doing a factory reset or data wipe will result in a brick so was thinking of switching to a custom rom.
What's the best Jelly Bean rom? or isn't there a good stable one?
If not then what's the best stable/usable ICS rom and how do I get there from stock?
I know I need to flash GB via pc odin, but what after that?
There are warnings that say "FLASHING FROM STOCK ICS OR ROMS BASED ON STOCK ICS WILL RESULT IN A BRICK!"
I just wanna be as clear as possible. Would hate to have a brick.
Thanks.

JB roms are still in development and not so stable for daily use yet. For flashing custom ICS you do not have to flash GB rom, just flash safe custom ICS kernel and flash custom rom through cwm recovery.
You can also wipe your current rom after flashing safe custom kernel. No need to flash custom rom just because you cannot wipe on stock kernel

For my personal of view, liquid smooth jb v2.0 beta is the best at the moment.
If you on rooted ics. You can flash jb rom thru safe kernel such as cm9 kernel, gb kernel or notecore kernel.
But please read carefully and understand what noted at op and follow the installation method.
Good luck.

Never Never Wipe on ICS as stated in op.
Now everybody knows JB is still under development and in preview. So I think you should have to wait for a stable version to enjoy the juice
For ICS you can try Cleanote v5,Kingdroid or RR for better performance and battery life
Here are the links :-
Cleanote v5 ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716088

Here is the best thread for rooting and flashing custom kernel on Note- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Once you are rooted and on safe custom kernel you can follow the instructions on your chosen custom rom OP.

In terms of safer installation method. It have too many of opinions around note forum. Some will say flash any rom or nandroid by using abssy 4.2 kernel, some will say not neccesary to use abssy 4.2 kernel with the secure and safe kernel exists such as notecore and speedmod kernel.
Some will advice you must go back gb before flash cm base rom and some will tell you totally bull**** and not neccesary to go back gb before flash cm base rom with secure tw kernel around.
Confuse? For me, all of them have the right opinion and nothing wrong with them. Thats your own smartphone which cost about usd 500. If you scare of something, just follow the long installation method. If you feel lazy to take do such of long intallation step, you can always use the secure kernel to swap in between gb, tw and cm base rom.
But anyway, is your own asset, your own choice. You are the one who will take full responsibility for doing any modification, rooting and flashing. Not anyone else here.
You can always refer dr.ketan advice.

Simpler if you are on warranty and you can make use of it and off you don't want to flash or to scared to do a flash then wipe if the phone bricks you can send it on ssc for repair on warranty.

Best way to proceed when reverting to stock FW?

Hiya
Was thinking of reverting back to stock ICS 4.0.4 but with all the unsafe kernel stuff going on I was wondering, what is the best way to proceed?
I want to revert because I feel that the stock rom was overall more stable and always "worked", but I dont want to brick my phone and I'd like to be able to change rom if something better comes along
Currently im running the stable GT n7000 release from cynagenmod, with CWM 6.0.1.0
So any pointers?

If your on ics better be in safekernel like notecore, speedmod, or goku.
Flash gb rom first and do the 3 wiping before flashing the ics, use pc odin. This is clean install, its the best way before installing an ics.

Just flash ics using pc odin.
And dont forget to be on safe kernel after flash.

[Q] Flashing from a JB ROM to Stock

Hey guys thanks for the help,
I know how to flash roms and have a pretty good idea of how to work within CW. However my friend flashed his Samsung Captivate to a JB ROM (I'm pretty sure it was more of an official AOKP ROM), and after a couple days, he decided he wanted to flash back to a more stable Gingerbread ROM or the ICS CM9. I tried to help him flash back but it comes back with an error and then when we reboot it has the same ROM from before.
So, what would I have to do to flash his phone back to CM 9 and what preparations would I have to do to flash it back?
(By the way, I have an HTC Inspire myself, so if anything is different besides the type of ROM's I have to flash, don't be afraid to tell me. I want to learn more about it.)
Thanks so much for your time and help. It is much appreciated.

I would install stock GB ROM using Odin .. then flash cm9 if needed

Flash UCKK4 stock rom(use it from the one click master collection of stock rom's). Then flash the corn kernel(search forum for it) as it has a built-in cwm recovery, Then flash whatever rom you want to flash.

I have the same problem, but i've a samsung galaxy s i9000. What can I do?
Thanks for help.

Probably better ask in the i9000 q & a forum...

as Shyam replied earlier, yes you can do with PC Odin.
Depends on your purpose. Are you still going to use it for your personal use ? or are you going to sell back to Samsung ?
If you are going to sell back to samsung / claim for warranty (if your current state need any claim of it).
If you are going to sell back to Samsung / claim your warranty, better you just flash back original firmware (can be downloaded from samfirmware.com) with PC Odin. You should need around 5 minutes (plus-minus) to flash it back.
By doing this, you will loose your root, get original firmware (ROM), with original (stock) kernel. Once you are on pure stock kernel, please do not do any wipe data, as I believe you know the consequences.
But if you want to keep root (and use it for personnal), you can use Mobile ODIN. But you have to check first which version is running on JB rom, since according to you, you are now on JB custom rom. My understanding, earlier mobile ODIN doesn't work on JB rom.
If you don't want the hassle of doing so, Just :
Flash back original firmware (download from samfirmware.com), with PC Odin
Once boot up on ICS, go to stock recovery (Vol UP+Power+Home), flash Philz Kernel. (you will get root + CWM). You can refer to Philz thread, and download his correct kernel for your ICS built number.
Good Luck!
