Hi,
This is my second time flashing a rom. I own a rogers captivate and I rooted and flashed to Darky's v7.0 (2.2 Froyo) NO WIPE.
I want to change the rom to Doc's ROM JPY V6.2 CE.
All i know is that I have to copy the .zip folder in sd card folder and flash it using rom manager. Do I have to do the same to flash with this one?
I have read all over the forum and I read that I am supposed to flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash again to a different rom(any other rom). Someone also told me that if I have a NO WIPE version of rom installed then I don't need to flash back to 2.1. Is this true? Can someone please confirm this?
1. Should i just download the rom and just flash through rom manager(if yes, then skip q#2) or change to stock 2.1 first?
2. If i have to change back to stock 2.1, i think I have to use something called ODIN. Can someone explain me the process please? and I dont know where to get stock rogers 2.1 rom. I looked all over the forum.
3. I do not want to overclock my phone cpu. The main post on DOC's rom says that I have to flash a kernel through CWM after first boot. I dont know what CWM means or how to use it. Any instructions?
4. Should I install the Wipe version or the NON-wipe version? and what is the difference? I like changing roms once in a while and I might change it again but I dont know which one I should use.
5. Is this a 2.1 eclair rom or 2.2 froyo? How do i figure it out without installing?
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these questions.
Thanks a lot.
I have always just booted into recovery mode with CWM and flash the zip that way as it works for any rom i have tried so far. I have rom manager but never used it to load a rom since CWM works flawlessly everytime for me.
The simple answer is if your changing ROMs (i.e. Cognition to Perception) - should flash back to stock then load the new ROM.
If your just updating an existing ROM and it has the "no-wipe" version? Then you should be able to run the *.zip provided following the instructions given (most likely through ROM Manager/CWM)
Hello,
first a brief intro...i am not an android developer but I am a user and I love the OS.
However i have had a little trouble with the small issue of backing up stock ROM so that i can have the freedom to tinker with any custom ROM possible knowing that i can always fall back to my stock ROM if I don't like anything or something doesn't work.
I have the original ROM so i can flash it back whenever but not everyone has access to their stock ROM. so you must make a choice that once you flash a custom ROM, you cant go back.
So i am calling out to all the nice developers in the house...
1. Is this possible. is there a way one can do a backup of the stock ROM in the galaxy mini?
2. If its not possible at the moment, is there anyone willing to work towards ensuring its possible?
Like I said, I am not a developer but i could help in any little way i can to work with any willing developer towards achieving this.
Thanks.
yess is possible to backup your rom juste install ROM MANAGER and clic on backup is simple you can find it on android marcket ^^
I would not personally suggest Rom Manager since there are a lot of cases here that it bricked the phone. It is possible to backup your stock rom with cwm recovery. The problem is it can't be restored via the same recovery. This is a limitation of cwm. So Odin is still the best option to restore stock roms.. I do hope that restoring stock roms can be made possible thru cwm..

I have tried ROM manager and it doesnt even recognize the cmw recovery already installed. it requests to install a custom recovery and the SGM isnt listed among the supported devises so that wount work.

Have you actually backed up your stock rom using cwm?I have tried and each time i get an error that it couldnt mount the /system. And am seeking assistance to develop a means to back up and restore Stock ROMs in SGM.
with custom kernel with suport ext4 and convert rfs partition to ext4 partition you can backup your stock rom.
only need flash custom kernel. after that you can backup the rom.
galaxy S user have CF-root kernel for each rom. CF-root do this and root your phone and install CWR.
but for mini no any CF-root kernel
.i have changed my CWM by another one find here with godell thread I use "CWM5028.zip"
Dude, don't you try Rom Manager, it may brick your phone. CWM can't make stock rom backups as far as I know.

Yea...tried that still wont back up stock rom...
to make the backup of stock rom recovery is needed to be modded for work on bml partition layout it should also be compatible with rfs partitions

why do you want it in the stock slot. Why don't you just put this rom in your slot 1 and never go back to stock?

Because slot 1 so slow and use sd card memory. Because slot 1 this just *.img files, not normal slots for flashing roms. Can i flash Eclipse rom v1.2.1 to stock slot?
Personally I am using Blurry Maxx rom (3.8 don't upgrade to 4.1.2 version it lags and buggy to me) and it's fast as heck. Way faster than stock.
I was wondering if anyone has the stock rom for my droid 4? 6.13.219.xt894.Verizon.en.us? Ever since i rooted it, I accidentally uninstalled some bloatware and now that's preventing me from updating. Even after I get the stock rom, how would i install it? Any help would be appreciated :fingers-crossed:
just download the 98.72.18.XT894.xml from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php
and Use RSD Lite to flash a .XML Stock Rom (firmware)
I'd just use this and have it done automatically.

I am looking for a good rom to try on slot 2 on att note 3. I'm on NC2 and I don't want to I install anything that will change that and stop safe strap from working. I have the stock rom on stock slot. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
I don't think the other ROM slots work on note 3 with lollipop installed. I've tried it and couldn't get the ROM to work.
