Hello Guys,
I tried many custom ROM CM 10.1.3 to CM 11 and Vanir and ROMS based on stock JB
I want to flash Stock ICS Euro Open because It was the least lagging ROM for me
Can any one post a link to stock ICS Euro Open in ZIP format?
ZIP format? You mean make it flashable through the bootloader? I think that's not possible since ICS doesn't support bootloader for our device...
You should try flashing the KDZ...

So ICS can't be in zip format and flashed like custom mods?
I'm afraid it can't be flashed like the other custom ROMs, sorry. There is a way to do it though, through the LG Firmware updater. Maybe this will help you out:

Thanks a lot, when I do that down grade do I lose the custom recovery and the unlocked boot loader? and as a result I won't be able to flash custom ROMs until I install a new custom recovery and so on?
Bootloader stays unlocked but you wull loose cwm recovery. You wont be able to install any other custom rom untill you update to 20x software and just install cwm again. No need to unlock bootloader again since it will stay unlocked.

Hi all
I have CM 10.2 and CWM recovery installed on my Z. Now I'm going to sell it and would like to "revert" to the stock ROM.
I realized that the Flash Tool by Bin4ry and Androxyde only works with stock, locked bootloaders so I cannot install original ROMs the "normal" way.
I assume I need to find a stock ROM image zipped in a format that is compatible with CWM recovery, and flash from there?
Thanks for all help
nope it should work with any Rom just download the ftf you want and flash it it would work with any Sony Device either Locked or Unlocked
My lg optimus black is running stock ics 4.0.4.I want to flash other rom because this one it's slow. I've tried to unlock the bootloader with bootloader unlocker and did not worked. I can get into recovery with CWM from Rom Manager. Now, the question is: SHOULD I UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER for flashing a gingerbread ROM(stock or a custom rom based on it) with Smart Flash Tool?
I hope someone with experience to come and help me

If you can get into CWM and your phone is running a completely stock ICS ROM, then your bootloader is unlocked. I'm not sure that you can flash a Gingerbread ROM on an ICS bootloader. You can always try it and if it fails you can use SmartFlash Tool to recover your phone, but I recommend to directly flash this with SmartFlash Tool. If you flash it you'll have a Gingerbread ROM with a Gingerbread bootloader and a CWM recovery that you can use to flash whatever ROM you want.

I think the bootloader was included on the GB ROMs...

Thanks bro! I'll try this when i will have time.
Hi there, i am on stock rom 4.3 and i am considering to flash a custom rom. It is going to be my First flash of a custom rom and i am wondering if something is not working as it should, will i be able to return to stock with no problems? If i install a custom Kernel as well will kies install stock firm as usual (to return to stock)? Or the only method is a full backup and restore? Restoring method restores kernel too? Thank you for your help.
U must rooting your device, next install custom recovery and backup your rom, thats all, and next try the first install omni rom
I am already rooted. Omni is one of my thoughts. Should i flash a custom kernel after omni or it is not mandatory?
hello guys
I have the c6602, and running 4.4.4
I've just unlocked the bootloader and rooted my XZ
I want to install one of the new lollipop ROM's so i need a kernel that has a recovery mod to flash the ROM
the one i found is Doomlord's kernel [.230], but as i know [.230] doesn't work with 4.4.4, if it's just used to get the recovery into the device and be able to flash a ROM, what would be the next step after installing the ROM?
should flash a newer kernel? or it is automatically installed [integrated] in the ROM's zip file?
thnx
The new kernel is integrated in the zip file and will replace the current one when you flash the rom. You will also get the recovery that comes with it.
Im on cm11, and i want to downgrade to stock. I tried flash the stock rom flashable zip. It boot up but i get NokiaVariantManager has stopped and i cant do anything. It stuck at loading screen(after choose language).
So how can i fix it....please help... I dont have pc
Always make a twrp back up befor flashing a new rom.
Use any stock based custom rom for example, mine.
After that, use Nokia Care Suite and refurbish.
