Hi guys, im new to the sgs, but got some android experience. I was wondering if i can backup the whole ROM/system from my sgs (running 2.2.1 but its kinda branded from my carrier), so that i can flash the latest 2.3.3 or even 2.3.4 with odin and if for any reason i have to take it into warranty, i can reflash (preferably with odin) the stock branded rom that came with my phone. I would really appreciate, if anyone can tell me that, i searched around but couldnt really find this specific question. ive checked the stock ROM thread, and my version is there but im not sure its the branded one, cuz mine says 2011.02 and the one there says december 2010.
As long as you are rooted and have clockwork mod installed you can do a nandroid backup from the recovery menu I believe.
To restore you would have to flash the same base rom though, i.e. any 2.2.1 ROM then let it reboot then root it boot into recovery and restore nandroid backup.
I think that should work.
I'm sure someone wil correct me if I am wrong.
I wish I had done this when I bought by phone from Orange UK branded.
If you find out how to create an odin version please post here for others too.
ok thanks, i flashed the newer version over anyways.. thanks anyways
Is this correct?
Is this correct?
I have the same issue and after having mine sent into samsung for a successful repair (with a bunch of arguing and persuasion) I would like to back up this stock rom before continuing in order to avoid that situation again.
Mines a i9000M (bell version )
You always have to hack the ROM a bit to have a backup. Either you flash a custom kernel that'll give you CWM/nandroid backup or you root the ROM so you can do some adb magic.
There are also tons of stock ROMs floating around the interwebs, so with any luck you can find your own stock there.
Hi, I'm trying to revert my phone back to the its stock state, in order to try to restore its warranty.
I have the ROM I got from my network provider, but I need an unrooted JV8 kernel, and a way to restore 3E recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Why doesn't Odin flash with Stock ROM work?
Because I have a backup of my cellular company's rom, but not the kernel, and I want to revert to that old rom, remove cwm, and flash that kernel through Odin.
Not sure what you intend. Flashing previous ROM should also get you previous unrooted kernel. Roms do not come without kernels I thought.
I recently upgraded my Note to official ICS (OTA) and I'm not liking it AT ALL! Now I really want to get far away from this update as possible and I'd like to switch to a CM9 nightly Rom. I've that now that I have upgraded to the official ICS Rom, I run the risk of super bricking my device. So now I ask you to help me make sure the following is correct so that I may move on from this wretched update:
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on original Samsung ICS
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on a original Samsung kernel??
Flash back to original Gingerbread Rom using odin BEFORE flashing to CM9
Flash to different kernel??
I've flashed millions of Roms but this one is scary and I just want to make sure haven't missed anything... Have I?
Thanks for you help!!

Just flash a stock directly rootable GB rom, root and put CM9 on it. Then do a factory reset and you're good to go. Went that way few times already.

Thanks a lot man!! This is pretty much what I thought but I wanted to make ABSOLUTE sure! Cheers!

So is the super-brick BUG on the official ICS OTA?? OMG
And yeah go back to gingerbrear via odin, get root then flash any CM9 tru CWM no problems...
I'd like to do something similar to what the OP wants to do however I have rooted and installed CWM on an official/stock ICS rom. So if I wanted to flash back to a stock gingerbread rom would I need to remove CWM and/or un-root?

There is no need to unroot first. You can flash stock GB rom directly via Odin.
I've now flashed to GB but before I move on to a CM9 nightly, do you recommend I flash the CM9 kernel as well? Seems like it is not a prerequisite but I would like to make sure. Thanks.
John J
afaik, when flashing a CM9 Nightly, the eligible kernel is built in, so no need to flash anything but the ROM.
i'm on one of imilkas first CM9 port and it says [email protected] #1 under Kernel version in settings.
Yes. The correct kernel is included in the nightly.
I have tried to go back to a stock rom so warranty is valid, but not sure if all is okay
ANDROID VERSION 2.3.3
BASEBAND VERSION S5830XWKP7
KERNEL VERSION [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER GINGERBREAD.XWKPO
can somebody tell me if this is all stock? not sure about kernal, I want to take phone back to shop for repair. Any help very appreciated
If you flashed via ODIN then yes it's stock.
Boot into recovery check you have the stock recovery too.

Hi!. I recently flashed my froyo Ace to LeWa ROM but since I need to revert back and install the stock ROM in GB.Can anyone redirect me to the appropriate post please. Didn't do backup for original rom as I thought froyo is much outdated for a armv9. Thanks in advance.

Flash stock firmware through odin. READ, seriously, READ the stickies. It's all there.
Hello everyone,
For the past week i have been messing around with different kernels on my HTC One 4.2.2 running the Stock ROM. I have tried a couple of different kernels and although they do provide a fun experience, especially with overclocking and what not, i would like to return to the Stock kernel. I have tried to find out how to do that but i haven't reached a conclusion.
At the moment the problem is that i cannot find the stock kernel.
I have heard something about pulling the stock kernel from a full download of the stock ROM, but to be completely honest, im not all too sure about how to do that, and I don't want to make a stupid decision and end up bricking my device.
So, can someone please tell me where or how i can get the stock kernel for the HTC One 4.2.2 Stock ROM?
If there are any special ways to flash the kernel that would be great. (As far as i know just flashing it through the custom recovery works fine)
Thanks

Hey,
I had a quick look at the link you sent me through the pm, and I think you may have sent me the stock recovery, while I am after the stock kernel.
From what i've seen the kernel should be a .zip file, while the file in the link you sent to me was a .img.
Thanks though, but I am after the stock kernel and not the stock recovery.
Thanks

You can extract the stock kernel from the stock ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
it's based on:
Code:
HTC update build 2.24.401.8
Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 (JDQ39)
HTC Sense 5.0
Release status: release-keys
Kernel: 3.4.10
EDIT: I just saw that part

The first was extracted from the stock ROM of 2.24.401.1 and the second extracted from a CWM backup I found of HTC__039 v2.24.980.2. You can use either one, they will both give you kernel v3.4.10-g445d072
I've uploaded both, because I wasn't sure if the CWM backup was completely stock or not.
These are img files, so you have to flash them using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot boot_2.24.401.1.img
or
fastboot flash boot boot_HTC__039_2.24.980.2.img
Just to put your mind at ease, I flashed both on my phone to test, and both passed with flying colours

hi there,
i want to update the newest OTA, but ich use the elementaryX kernel (tap2wake, you know )
i already reverted to stock recovery, but my update just doesn´t work...
now someone in another forum told me i have to use the stock kernel, too

Though I don't think that's the problem, but here you go:
fastboot flash boot boot_4.19.401.9.img
It's probably something else that is not allowing the OTA, what kind of error do you get?

it means the file isn't 100% stock, and therefore the OTA cannot proceed.
As an example, the updater script from 3.62.401.1 to 4.19.401.8 has this:
Code:
set_progress(0.509804);
apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/ansi_cprng.ko", "44015172e4f2d836a602b873f6ad4ea428ecd0eb", "46d3269597bfaac74ed9be80c39f49ca1b1ececb") || abort("\"/system/lib/modules/ansi_cprng.ko\" has unexpected contents.");
so at about 50% of the system checks, it is checking the file you mentioned, and finds it has a different SHA-1 hash than what it expects. (this file was probably changed by the custom kernel, as well as other files)
so you need to set all modified files back to 100% stock.
I guess there are two possible ways:
1- if you have a 100% stock nandroid backup before installing custom kernel, restore that
2- find a stock 4.19.401.9 ROM, and flash it.

does that mean reinstalling the stock kernel will not work?
or is there a chance it will work after installing the kernel?
btw: how do i install the .img file you postet? via fastboot?

No chance it will work, zero!!
I just had a look at ElementalX, and it changes a lot of files!
so the above two options are the only ones you have if you want to take the OTA.
