Hello.
I bought Samsung Galaxy S Plus from e-shop 2 days ago but it came with orange home firmware 2.3.4 I9001BVKPB, which is without TouchWiz. Some people adviced me to flash the current firmware with I9001XXKPS Android 2.3.6. Before flashing, do i have to root the mobile? If i access the recovery mode after flashing, will it recover the old 2.3.4 firmware? Will i lost warranty? If i unroot the mobile, will i have back the warranty?
Sorry for these noobie questions, i am new to this.
Edit: Does this firmware I9001XXKPS Android 2.3.6 support Czech language?
1. Read the Flashing FAQ.
2. You don't have to root the phone if you are flashing stock firmwares. You need to use Odin in the Download Mode to flash the device.
3. You could flash to any version and revert back to original shipped version anytime provided you know what you are doing.
ya you will lose your warranty but you can flash back to a stock firmware and they won't even know you've flashed a custom rom or rooted your phone
How can I save my current stock ROM before user other ROMs? Thanks!

Warranty will be lost, if you do anything with the phones software or hardware, if you unroot nobody would recognize/notice it. If you dont need a new room, just root the phone
Anyone know how to root the latest kernel:LC2?
Chainfire?
Rooting LC2
Hey guys, I would like to root my Galaxy Note that has Kernel version of N7000DXLC2. I read Dr. Ketan's How to Root Note tutorial and saw that my version is not directly rootable. He advised that I would need to downgrade first to a version that is rootable, then perform root. I would first like to make a backup before trying out this flashing new roms and flashing ics, but I can't because I am not rooted yet.
Question:
1. Will it wipe all my data if I downgraded?
2. Can I upgrade back to LC2 once I rooted my phone?
Thanks!
Hi Guys
Just curious
If I were to flash another regions stock ROM (EG not Australia) and installed a custom ROM over that, would that mess up the baseband?
Kinda need help because I need to reflash this ace and its stuck in a boot loop (Friend tried to flash CR without root rights)
Thanks:laugh::laugh::

Can I reflash back the stock rom even if the bootloader is locked?
I ask because I know it's possible with my Samsung Galaxy S6. Not sure about Xiaomi phones.
You have to unlock bootloader first to flash stock rom or any custom rom.
