You need at least to be unlocked, but i don't think you can flash whatever rom you want...

If you flash a totally stock ROM, it'll be stock, not rooted.
You will need to unlock and install a custom recovery. Mike1986 has a stock ROM thread.
Yep
SKY GO will not work on a rooted phone

I have a Bell Incredible S. Rooted and installed Cyanogen last week. I've used Cyanogen on about 4 different devices now and have never really played with any stock roms. Main reason for not doing that is the crap/bloatware the carriers install.
So my question is, are there any Stock roms available with carrier software removed that you can suggest for my Bell model?
TIA
Once you have rooted your phone, you can use titanium backup to remove any & all of the bloatware/crapware you want. on any stock rom as well
Arhd is like an optimized stock ROM..
It's really awesome

World wide English. It is stock, unbranded. I've been running it on my Bell IncS since it came out this summer.

I heard there is an android 4.2.2 update but you cannot update when you have a rooted phone.
How do i get 4.2.2 android on my rooted HTC one? i currently have 4.1.2 and on tmobile U.S.
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Simples!
Flash the right RUU for your phone, you'll be back to stock and ready to upgrade.

If the boot loader is unlocked does it need relocked first or just go ahead and run the RUU?

What does flashing mean? And i dont think i can return it to stock because the tmobile version does not have an RUU.
Sorry i am new to this whole scene.

Hi, friends! Can I push any custom GE ROM on my HTC One UK only with root? I have stock JB 4.2.2 and 1.54 HBOOT. I'm S-On too... I need to install new HBoot, Recovery, blah blah, blah or not? Many thanks!
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you want only the rom, you can flash this
If you want a fully GE One, you have to flash the firmware, the room etc...
I installed the SinLess GE ROM and followed the normal flash process. DL the ROM zip onto your phone, using TWRP recovery I did a normal wipe, installed the ROM and worked like a charm. I was rooted and unlocked, not s-off.
Now make sure to do the TWRP backup, its key to being able to get back to where you were. I've used it a few times and it works like a charm.
Hope this helps.

Ok what's the risk... I'm running Android revolution ver 31. I haven't updated my firmware. I'd prefer not to have to flash a whole different ROM to gain S-off if in can avoid it. I know it's recommended to be on same firmware and ROM base, but what's the risk of just S-offing like I am?

But, wait, you have the s-off or not?
And what do you want do?

No I don't have it yet but I'm running a ROM based on 3.62xxxx firmware but haven't updated my firmware to that yet because I don't have soff.
Wondering if I'm running a risk with ROM and firmware not matching when I attempt to soff.

Yep, you need to be on the same base, and the closest possible to your own rom. Just restore your stock nandroid and you'll be good to go

So I have the AT&T S5 with a locked bootloader. I rooted it, put safestrap on it, and installed a custom ROM. Now I read that the Tmobile S5 has an unlocked bootloader, but given that I can root and install custom ROMs, why is the Tmobile variant any better? Also I read locked and encrypted used interchangeably regarding the bootloader, perhaps they are both locked but not encrypted?
Lastly, does an unlocked Tmobile S5 work seamlessly on the AT&T network, it appears the LTE bands overlap so I'm guessing so. Is there a good reason to sell the AT&T variant and get the Tmobile one?
Ungh, stupid AT&T.
You can only flash custom roms based on the stock kernel. With a locked bootloader you'll never be able to flash an aosp rom.

Nor will we be able to flash 4.4.4(or later) when it becomes available. We are stuck waiting for att to release an update, and then we might lose root.

Does this mean that the custom roms that are installed are still ultimately based on the original G900A one, or at least the kernel is the same?

Basically, yes.
The recent OTA will update the kernel and firmware, right? But does towelroot still work? Is it likely that the bootloader will be more difficult to break later if I do update?
