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!

Couple of questions...

New to android world and looking for first rom. On stock Froyo 2.2, rooted, clockwork installed. Which rom can be installed without Odin? Do kernels have to be installed separate, if so, is it before or after rom install? Looking for sense-like ui.
Thanks!!

If you want sense go buy a HTC lol. Odin is going to be your bread and butter since its the easiest way to flash to stock and flash kernels. Most roms can be installed without odin though. Go to the dev page and look around at the roms and make your choice. Remember Gingerbread needs new bootloaders (except Cyanogenmod and Miui) and as always read read read.

Kudos to you for being interested in rooting :good:
Shiromaru already answered the question here but why would you choose to remain on STOCK??? In the Android Development Thread of the HTC Incredible S, we have a TON of ROMs for use. They can be ICS with Sense 3.6. There can be AOSP or AOKP ICS. Theres Sense 4.X with ICS. Theres AOSP Jellybean 4.1.1 to 4.2.2. Theres really a lot to try. If you want to keep the (****y (excuse my language)) Sense 3.6 then u can try ARHD which is very stable. Theres also Blackout ROM and Incredible Bliss. If you want Sense 4.X you can try Nik_Project_X_Rebirth or Sabsa Prime. All of these ROMs have been modified to improve youre over all experience on the phone. I really would suggest you flash a custom ROM.

I tried ARHD bt after some days of installation of ROM if u restart the phone, many apps start crashing. Also gallery and music show no containts.
I tried reflashing but same happened again.

Try niks Rom v3.0 it works fine for me,good battery life + super fast performance with lil overclock

Rooting via htcdev will not give you s_off. That means every time you install a custom Rom you have manually flash the boot image using a utility called fastboot. And you can't change radios either. However for an initial root experience go right ahead with htcdev method and once you are comfortable you may follow guides in how to downgrade and then get root and soff using the revolutionary method. You may then also want to change your bootloader.
If you are going to root your phone then it makes no sense (pun intended) to remain with stock Rom. And as listed here in earlier post there are a plethora of roms to choose from.
Welcome to the joys of the android world.

[Q] wifi shows error after installing nameless rom

my apologies if this question has been asked before but since i couldnt find it anywhere so i am posting now:
this is my first time rooting an android device and that too coz recently my htc desire c had become super slow so i unlocked bootloader and downloaded the hasoon2000 tool but after the recovery step i was totally lost on how to flash kernel and all so i switched to superboot and i successfully rooted my phone.
now i wanted to install a rom so i chose nameless rom but the instructions were so confusing and i messed up. i couldn't install it and then my phn wnt start so i went back to hasoon2000 and flashed kernel using the boot.img from the nameless rom and my phn was back up but my wifi is not on anymore. its says error and i saw that my mac address was gone. then i tried again installing the rom and this time i did successfully install it but my wifi is gone
i have two questions:
1. how can i get my wifi back in this rom?
2. can i install any other rom and if i do then will i get my wifi back?

Click on the second link in my signature.. Look for Prometheus Sense Kernel there. Flash that using fastboot, (or the toolkit) and your wifi should be back.

The 'method' to install any ROM is the same and its not difficult. And there is no such thing as a best rom. It's just personal preferences. So if you like HTC Sense, then go for Revolution or Sensational Rom. And if you like a more 'Nexus-like' feel then we've got a lot of JB Roms for you. JB ROMs are believed to be faster than Sense ROMs in general.
So just look at threads of the different ROMs and once you decide to install, download it. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10 right now. I've been using it for a long while now. It was the first JB rom made for this phone and all the other ROMs are made using this as a base..
We even have Samsung-like and Xperia-like Roms. So if you're interested in that, have a look.
And for Sense, Sensational ROM V4 is the most up to date ROM we have. It has a Sense 5 feel to it..
Hope that helps a bit. One more thing - never ask for best rom or best kernel. It's bad manners. But we can understand as you're new..

N920P on Sprint sucks... cant find working roms... want xposed

Is it just me or is there a real lack of working custom roms for Marshmallow N920P Note 5s? I don't even really want a custom mod... but been trying for days to get xposed going on my note and it doesn't want to run on the rooted stock rom (CF Auto Root). I have tried several different roms and can't get anything going. I also can't find anything that SPECIFICALLY states compatibility with N920P, just a couple roms where developers say it "should" run. But alas, been trying for 3 days now and still cant get a working custom rom or any help just to get xposed running...
Any suggestions?

Did you look in the Sprint Note 5 forums? Always look for carrier specific forums and not General. There are a couple in there including Moar which is a very customized ROM. Not a lot of Sprint Note 5 ROM options but Moar is very feature packed. You can add Xposed to it yourself. There's a QA forum to post questions so if you any try to post them there and not in the ROM develeopment thread.
I used this for a standard deodex rom and used the official build for xposed mm on x64 xposed modules works great on mine
edit: you may want to upgrade OTA before you root to get a good stock because I had to look forever to get a good stock rom after I softbricked mine

@henderjr
Have you run this rom with xposed? Wouldn't normally worry but it actually lists xposed in the known issues and states "run at your own risk"...
@Kade Farbo
That stock rom would be fine, but it is for PC3. WIll it work on mine? (N920PVPU2BPD2)
Edit: The rom installed successfully, but it looks like xposed isn't wanting to boot. Same thing happened on the stock rom, perpetually stuck on the sprint LTE Plus screen.
Update:
After trying several combinations of roms/xposed I finally got them working.
I tried the standard deodex rom, which installed correctly. Then tried to flash xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip, installed successfully but wouldn't boot. Same happened with using cf root on stock rom.
I tried installing venom note, install completed successfully but also wouldn't boot.
Finally I installed MOAR, installed without a hitch. After reading the discussion there I followed the recommendation of a poster that stated he was using xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam.zip. Framework installed and finally booted! Yay! So it looks like this setup is definitely the way to go!

Yeah Xposed with MOAR works fine. The developer just doesn't want people to post about bugs or issues if they have xposed running.
Does anyone ever read OPs? It says right in the Xposed OP that Xposed bootloops stock/stock based Samsung ROMs.

Sorry I meant to reply last night Wanam's unofficial MM xposed framework should be fine. Start with deodex rom and follow the instructions. I recommend this over any custom ROM for most stability and closest to vanilla experience while being able to use all root/xposed features

I may have liked the "more original" rom better, but MOAR seems to be just find and running smoothly. Wanam may have worked on that rom for me, but I didn't find it until flashing MOAR. Honestly after struggling so much to just get anything going, I dont feel like going back through everything just to get xposed on the deodex rom. I'll just stick with MOAR for now lol
Thanks for the help everyone.
Im running Wanam Xposed on the stock odexed ROM.
You can deodex any Odexed ROM with Root Explorer. Just Search .odex in Root Explorer, wait till it finishes, and delete all the files it lists. Bam. Deodexed stock rom, no flashing ROM required.
MOAR is awesome.
Te best Custom rom os laslamy if you looking good battery and mods.
