first of all thanks alot guys for those tut and tools you made.team kfhd 7" devs and to the whole part of the teams.i had a twrp installed and a pacman rom in my kfhd.i just wanna know if.we also had a pure stock rom (amazon) that can be flash thru twrp instead of doing the adb.thing or the hardest part.is there a tut thread or file like this so that it'll be easy for us to get back to stock rom whenever we want.can you guys pls make a flashable zip file of pure stock rom in two versions.one is the rooted and the other one is unrooted.this is very helpfull to all those who already had a twrp in their kfhd.so that it will be easy for them to flash the stock rom without the adb and the codes to be type in command prompt.thanks guys.hope we have that soon.if we already have it here in our threads.can you pls give me the links.btw,why some of my apps and games not working now.before i had a stock rom installed,all my apps and games are working well.is it possible reason why,is that im not yet registered my kfhd to google or amazon?thanks again and more custom roms to come soon.

I really don't recommend going back to Amazon OS. But if you really want it,go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218475

I wouldn't recommend that. If he's going back to stock, might as well flash the latest to avoid another update and/or potential un-rooting (unless that's what he wants). Personally, I'd recommend the Kinology ROM, as it functions like stock + an app store. However, if OP truly wants stock, he should get 7.4.6.

As for your question, I suggest just go to stock 7.4.6 rooted .

Read through the Kinology install instructions and you'll see how to use its files to get to a "might-as-well-be-stock" OS (it's stock, but deodexed). TWRP itself will allow you to root, so that's a non-issue.
thanks

HI Friends,
I was using custom roms before, but now i have reverted back to LG ROM v20G(india) android 2.3.4.
Since, i was not able to install some applications(for my office email and communicator) due to rooted device error, so i reverted back to LG ROM.
But after installing few applications my mobile became very slow, every time i have to clean RAM using task manager.
Is there a better ROM(unrooted ROM) suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

No way... Except for removing them before even flashing the ROM. But I think you are a bit wrong though. What ROM did you use before? I mean, while you were rooted? And what apps exactly havent you been able to install? Sounds strange to me...

HI N00BY0815, Thanks for yor reply.
Earlier i was using zeus 7.03 ROM and there i was able to install the zenprise application but it was not able to configure properly and used to get error like "This device is rooted" something like that. Bcz of this i was unable to configure the MS Exchange email and Microsoft Lync 2010 apps(bcz they are dependent on zenprise to get my enterprise server details).
Now i have reverted to LG stock ROM v20G and able to configure everything successfully and all are working.
But my mobile becoming damn slow, and it is showing only 23 mb RAM is free. :crying:

Hmm maybe you could still use Zeus ROM, but with a minor change in kernel, that is to change
ro.secure=0 to ro.secure=1 in ramdisk. This will pretend, the cell is still unrooted and thus everything should install just fine. Though you might get some problems with some apps, that need root.
Can some1 upload a flashable zip of this, since I dont really have time currently? Just decompile the boot.img with dsixda's android kitchen, change that line and recompile it. Flash and your done

Did you already try a rooted stock ROM, which has to be flashed via Smartflash? It's quite simple, since there also is a video guide (check my how to, post #3 includes the link to the thread with the video). Then you ll have root, but kernel will still state ro.secure=1. So you can almost do everything you want, but the phone will still think, it's still unrooted. Just pick the same version as you already have in kdz format (e.g. v20n, v20O, v20s,...) extract it with the tool mentioned, inject cwm, flash superuser.apk, dont wipe anything and you ll have root and all your data still. If it still detects the phone as rooted then, you ll have to go back to stock and reinstall everything, but it's still worth a try Then you can uninstall all LG crap apps and will have more free ram. Or you wait for anyone to provide an unrooted ROM with all unnecessary apps removed and maybe some tweaks enabled

MIUI is has no superuser

if your apps do not work because of root access, try MIUI JB

It will probably still be recognized as rooted, because the kernel will still state: ro.secure=0, which equals a rooted device. Of course, I dont really know, how this app detects, if the phone is rooted. It might also be the superuser.apk, but I dont really think so...

There is two ways. Look at ro.secure or call /bin/su and see if it works.If a app only wants to check and not ask for permissions then I think they'll look at ro.secure

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

I'm sure someone will be able to answer this super easily.
I'm new to rooting and ROMs, I just rooted my 4x hd yesterday and after being blown away at how easy it was, I'm now considering flashing a rom.
I've read around that you can get things that let you select the rom you want on boot. I was wondering if I could do this with the stock rom and cyanogenmod?
Do I have to partition the internal storage or something?
Also I'm pretty sure when you flash a new rom you loose apps and other data but can someone confirm this for me please?
And one final question. What's your favourite stable rom for the 4x hd? If I am able to switch between ROMs like that, I might add another I want to get close to vanilla if I can.

Hello,
I am a complete noob and need help figuring out how to do this, I have a kindle fire that i set up with the pure android 4.2 ROM, and was wondeing how i could do this with my captivate, and is there any way i can use this on AT&T without a data plan.
By the way the captivate is running the way it comes form at&t .
Click the link below and read (to get the idea), then read again (to understand what you are doing), then do exactly what it says (to get what you want). Start with CyanogenMod Stable 10.1.2, it's the most popular custom ROM (may change it later to whatever you want 4.2.2 based). Don't flash Android 4.3 beta ROMs as your first custom ROM. You need to download Google Apps too, version for 4.2.2 ROMs. Don't forget to backup your data before upgrading. Good luck!

reflash without wiping. You gotta flash twice in a row when you make the jump to JB.
I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

I see your rom looks pretty good...is it super stable? So because I went to cm10.1.3 does that mean I can't go back to 4.3 based roms or only official? Thanks

What rom do you mean exactly?, I dont have a rom that i made myself yet..
you can go any time you want back to 4.3, custom or official doesnt matter both is possibble, just be rooted and have the latest philz recovery installed or any other recovery.

I meant the one in your Sig . I might try that then maybe end up on stock. One thing was I was hoping to be able to unroot it on stock as I have a banking app that won't run on rooted devices .

Oh you mean the sites of those official firmwares or the recoverys :good:
I actually have no idea how to unroot it except for flashing official firmware 4.3 with odin, but the bloatware wil still be there unfortunately unless you find another way to do this
Can't boot into recovery mode or anything on mtk 6575 device
My Tecno D5 which has an Mtk 6575 chipset
got bricked after installing a font app and I
decided to use mtk droid tool to flash an
automade cwm recovery on it while its still
bricked. To cut the story short, after the whole
process of using another similar devices boot.img
and recovery.img to flash the automade recovery
on my device, my phone won't even get to
stock recovery(all I get is just a blank white
page after the normal logo at boot) .It also gives
me this when I try booting up.... Pls!!! a swift
reply wouls be appreciated as I'm just a learner
at this.

Ok thanks and I meant this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-amcha-rom-v5-00-simply-customizable-t2619670
Looks like a Rom. But does look a little more complex than usual ! I might try that first. But as long as it won't brick my device I might have to flash a stock and unroot depends on many things. Thanks.

On I'm on the same rom as your signatures rom. And nothings gone wrong so far. This might be the one for me! Fingers crossed.

personally i find amcha rom to be the most stable between the other 4.3 roms, using it almost 2 months and no fc's, freezes, random reboots etc. so far! :fingers-crossed:

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!
