I am doing just fine with my moto x.I unlocked its bootloader and flashed supersu to gain root access.I am using xposed with gravity box and have no complaints whatsoever.I am Just taking a second opinion and would like to know how to flash a stock rom. I ahve downloaded the stock rom of my device and have extracted it.How do I flash it via the SDK ? Since I am rooted , do I just flash the recovery after unrooting ( from the app ) or do I flash the whole rom ? I just want to be sure so that incase anything goes wrong I know how to recover.Thanks for your time.

Sir..you never need to "unroot".. the easiest way to flash the stock ROM is with RSDLite..but one can certainly use adb also..when you flash the stock ROM..the current recovery on the device will be overwritten back to the stock recovery..then flash TWRP or the other recovery, install SuperSU zip from your storage in TWRP..when you boot the device, it'd be rooted then..but you can gain root only with a custom recovery like TWRP..stock recovery will not work to gain root..if you wish the leave stock recovery, then a root exploit would be required..(if one is available)..
I hope your question has been answered..

If you have the SBF file which matches the rom version on your phone, then there are several ways to flash stock....
See -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html that explains several ways to get back to stock.
Option 2 being the quickest way depending on the mods to your phone and what you are looking to do. Option 5 is the way to flash the full rom and get back to stock via command line using mFastboot.

I have an ATT nexus and was just able to apply the manual update and gain root without unlocking the bootloader
If I install a custom recovery I know that I likely won't get any additional OTA updates. Is it possible to back up my current recovery before installing a custom?
I was thinking of just renaming install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak and recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.bak. Then just remove the custom recovery image and remove the .bak from the end of the files.
Will that re-install the stock recovery?
You can't root with stock
Full stock is a sticky in dev forum
It includes the recovery
Flash the custom one then if you want stock see the sticky

I'm already rooted with stock on FRF85B with an ATT phone.
i just wasn't sure if the stock recovery in the sticky would be the same as 85B for ATT so I wanted to backup whatever I'm currently using.
Ok then
Stock recovery is always the same, don't worry

Excellent!
I recently attempted to root my N1 but after unlocking the bootloader and using superboot to gain root, everytime i boot up now i get an error that says "process system is not responding" I'm hoping this $600 paperweight can be turned back into a phone
You don't need to root if you unlocked the bootloader...
If there's a pulse, it probably ain't dead...
Download the ROM you wish to use, then use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, boot into recovery, wipe, then install the downloaded ROM.

It's not an 'update.zip' if you are trying to flash a full ROM. Select 'Install ROM from SD' if you are rooted and using Rom Manager, otherwise reboot into your custom recovery and select 'flash .zip from SD'.

Ok, i think i'm getting this now. You're saying that you don't need Root to flash a custom ROM if the Bootloader is unlocked, but for anything that requires Root (i.e Titanium Backup), you still need that additional step? So really, unlocking the Bootloader is pointless at the moment as using a combination of SOC and Rom Manager gives you the best of all worlds.
You don't need this step, since all the custom ROMs come pre-rooted. If you unlock the bootloader to install custom recovery.

Thanks, it's all useful info.
It's worth noting that not everbody wants to use a custom ROM, but they may still want Root and the advantages it brings, on their stock ROM. (Me for one!!)
Still, if you only want root access, why unlock the bootloader, since unlocking the bootloader only gives the ability to flash images (unless you want to flash a rooted stock image, in which case why root the rom you have)?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You probably still have the stock recovery my friend. Cuz you won't find installing zip from sd card if you don't have a custom recovery. So flash ar or clock work to install a custom rom. Good luck.

When there is one available it will be posted in the android development forum.
but if you are impatient... try Blandroid 2.3.4... it's AOSP-based, rooted and 99% stock... http://blandroid.org/downloads
Geo411m usually posts a nice near stock custom ROM based on each release. If you watch the development forum for this username I bet you'll see one pop-up soon after the N1 specific code is officially available. I've used them before with good results and there is a theme post with nice themes made specifically for Geo's ROMs.

Backup ask your data with Titanium.
Passimg back to stock, and update to 2.3.4.
fastboot flash recovery.
Use recovery to install ChainsDD's su.
Restore your Titanium backup...
Blandroid is very good. It contains even my local language, so it's even better than stock from Google. Can be installed as stock replacement.
Flash FR91, Go into HBOOT and flash the stock recovery, start up, force checkin and let it update ( you only have 1 chance at this if you screw up you'd have to do the whole thing again ).
Download SU.zip and flash from recovery.
There you go you have 2.3.4 stock with root.

Yeah? I'm not sure if that's the way you say it but hboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
Or is it called bootloader...
That would be fastboot, not hboot.
Why would you want a stock recovery, and how do you plan on flashing the su.zip with a stock recovery?
My bad, I keep on getting confused with G1.
If you do not have stock recovery, it will not flash the OTA update from 2.2 to 2.3.3 then 2.3.4. After the sequence is done you can go back into fastboot and flash a custom recovery. After that you can flash SU.zip
You can flash an update from any recovery, just turn the signature verification off...
Do-it-yourself way....
1. Get 2.3.4 system dump from here, and Android Kitchen here.(If your OS is Windows, you will need to install modified Cygwin to use it)
2. Cook the system dump files with Android Kitchen.
3. ?
4. Now you have rooted 'stock' 2.3.4 package that can be flashed on custom recovery!

But this is an ota update. Mine did not flash. It went back into recovery after downloading the ota update but it will not flash.
You can flash OTAs through any recovery, just turn the signature verification off. I've done it many times, including the update 2.3.4...

Then I must have done something wrong then. All mine did was boot back into recovery and stay there without flashing anything. I still made it work though.
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...

Im completely confused by this GT-I9070...
it seems ive tried everything and nothing works...
I wanted to upgrade my friend's GB to MIUI, downloaded the ROM, installed CWM, flashed the ROM
and the phone got stuck in bootloop.
after that i tried a couple of different ways to flash at least the stock GB firmware back,
but it got stuck in setup (Setup.apk and gapps crashing constantly)
then tried a couple of things with odin, and got completely confused and frustrated.
can anyone please help me out here (im kinda noob here in flashing with odin and stuff)
and explain how can i flash a ICS or whatever ROM that will finally work?
a ste by step walktrough would be nice
currently i somehow got back to stock recovery, tried to flash TWRP using odin, and got stuck in bootloop again.
You need to flash official jelly bean firmware first, look on sammobile or samsung-updates. After that you can flash any ROM you want trough CWM recovery :thumbup:

To flash the stock ROM JB (4.1.2) you need to flash with Odin. Then flash the cocore kernel so that you can get CWM. CWM will later be useful to replace the default recovery easier for you to install a Custom ROM, which you want.
Note: Flash COcore Kernel using Universal Kernel By Frapeti. Download via Playstore.
Requirements: Your device must root first.
Additional info related to how to install the Cocore Kernel, using Universal Kernel by Frapeti. Please see the thread here.

Why flash root.zip and after that flash cocore kernel? Why not directly flash update.zip (CWM by shaan) after you have flashed stock, than you can install any ROM you want, no need to flash, reboot, flash, reboot.

Because it is a choice or to me personally as an alternative method that I use. Or may include other users while still using the stock ROM. So there is no harm in using any method, as long as our desired goals are achieved. In this case get a Custom ROM.
I just dont get it..
I've downloaded a stock 4.1.2 firmware, flashed it using odin, everything went ok, got the green pass from odin.
As i have turned the device on, the error on the setup wizard still exist.
It seems like all of the setup wizards on all the stock firmwares i've tried are failing.
Also the device shows gapps crash error.
Any method to root the device while being unable to go to Playstore as suggested above?
or,
any method of knowing if the device is rooted or not?
my friend played a bit with the phone and maybe have rooted it somehow..
anyway, now im kinda with the stock 4.1.2 firmware, the nest step is to root, then flash the cocore kernel, am i right?
