[SOLVED] [Q] Getting back to stock ROM

Hi all
I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader but haven't taken the jump and stuck a ROM or kernel on as yet, as am actually quite happy with the stock ROM, and also rely on the headphones, amongst other things - which appear to be a problem on some of the ROMs.
If I do stick a custom ROM on, can I easily get back to the stock one, is there a stock ROM of that which I can flash via CWM ?
I understand that with CWM I (currently) have to instantly stick a ROM on, so presumably cant do a backup of the stock ROM at that point..before putting on FXP or some such
I presume I can use the sony update service, but would that wipe the root ...?
could someone enlighten me
many thanks

Take a backup of what you have now in recovery, and you can always restore.
Also there are plenty of stock .ftfs in the allin one thread in Q&A that can be flashed in flashtool
No.
if you flash cmw from the thread then yeas, but you have unlocke your bootloader, so just flash the advanced stock kernel and then you have recovery without having to reflash a rom...

that has CWM rolled up in it?
and I can simply type
fastboot flash boot Tkernel.elf
using the version of fastboot that came with flashtool
with the phone in fastboot mode (blue LED)?

Bootloader (Twrp won't flash things)

Hello there, having trouble flashing roms with trwp 2.3.4 getting error 7.
So I was wondering how do I get into the bootloader or ADB mode when I only have access to twrp?
Want to flash Clockworkmod or a newer version of trwp but can't .
Very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which kernel are you on ?
Just flash a stock cm10.1 kernel & reboot to recovery. Then flash whatever you want.

The note is unique as this is all built into the kernel... So flash a new kernel you get a recovery with it... Don't push anything with Adb...if you must use PC Odin

Think I'm on hydracore at the moment, that's what I tried over odin anyway.
Thing is I'm getting efs mount errors when I try and flash my previous rom (alliance v3)
Thanks though, i'll try flashing some different kernel.
Wooo, seems flashing hydracore from odin failed, manually flashing hydracore worked a charm on CWM 6 now and just flashed without any errors.
Thank you very much chaps!
(Although Rom won't boot, is there any additional steps to flashing roms with the note, don't have to do any boot.img stuff right?

Did you wipe ? Make sure you're on safe kernel.

When you want to flash sth, just uncheck that two thing above "slide to flash"

[Q] [Help] Stuck At Boot When Try To Root Using PhilZ Recovery !

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie samsung user. I tried to root my phone (N700-Galaxy Note - ICS 4.0.4) using PhilZ Recovery method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
When I flash the zip in the stock recovery, everything seems to be ok, then when I got out and pressed "Reboot System now", the phone just turned off. I tried to power it on, but I stuck at the N7000 Logo (the logo just appears for a few seconds then disappears). However, I can still access the PhilZ Recovery
What should I do now? Should I flash a new rom with new kernel using that recovery (e.g: OmniRom with Raw Kernel)?
Please help, I'm really worry :crying:

Since you have Philz kernel then you can flash any TW ROM or AOSP ROM which is not KitKat. If you want to try out KitKat then you would have to first flash Raw Kernel and then from Raw kernel you can flash KitKat (ex. OmniROM).
If you want to go back to stock then you would have to flash a stock ROM using Odin.

whats the name of the zip file you flashed?

Make sure that rom is completely downloaded.

CM11 is very special. You need to flash the kernel, the bootm.img that is inside the ROM's .zip. Flash it and then flash the ROM.
Again, if you are gonna flash another ROM first flash the correct kernel, let's say DooMLoRD's kernel for stock based like eXistenZ or the boot.img from CM10.2 ...after that you can flash the proper ROM
Just CM11 needs this.

Repair it with SEUS or PC Companion and re-do again what you've done

No. SUS and PC Companion only work with locked bootloader. But FlashTool supports unlocked bootloader. Try repairing with FlashTool.

No, you can't.
Try flashing the .207 advanced kernel or doomlord kernel v13 with fastboot to see if you're able to get into recovery again.
If not, you'll have to flash an FTF file using flashtool and flash PAC again.
