yep but why not try stock rom's so that u dont have to flash ftf's easier and less bloatware try Existence rom it's brilliant :highfive:

You can easily get back to stock by flashing the stock files.
however to get the ultra-stock experience, you will need to lock your bootloader as well and restore your DRM keys too. If you didn't make this backup then I believe you can't get back to the true stock experience.

I'm s-on and lost my original nandroid months ago but can I just flash a stock ROM or do I need to downgrade the boot loader? Also if someone could point me to a rooted stock ROM that would be awesome

You dont need to downgrade the bootloader to go back to the ICS stock rom. You cant go back to a gingerbread rom though

... Without flashing a downgraded hboot...
There is a thread that talks about it somewhere... But that's only for going back to gingerbread....

Hi guys this is my first post here so be gentle! I'm trying to get cyanogen mod on my Z1.
I have followed the guides on this forum, my appreciation to all involved here great job!
I downgraded to 4.2.2 from 4.3. I then rooted my the phone. I then unlocked the bootloader.
All went ok. I then downloaded C6903_14.2.A.0.290_1276-0875_Generic UK.ftf and flashed it. The phone then wouldn't turn back on.
So I downloaded C6903 14.1.G.1.534 EE UK 1276-2219_R9A (I'm on EE) and flashed that and I got the phone working again.
I then flashed DoomKernal to get CWM. DoomKernal went fine.
Somewhere along the line I think I got confused and thought DoomKernal would give me CWM and I flashed C6903_14.2.A.0.290_1276-0875_Generic UK.ftf again to upgrade back to 4.3.
Same problem...Phone wouldn't turn on so I repeated the EE branded 4.2.2 flash.
Now DoomKernal seems to be taken off. So my questions are as followed:
Do i need DoomKernal to get CWM?
Do i need to be on 4.4 before I install Cyanogen mod or can I do it straight from 4.2.2 with DoomKernal?
If I'm being a total noob I apologize!
Thanks.

Accidently gave you a thank lol
I actually don't know about branded phone, but I can tell you that your step has gone wrong. You will always lose root
if you flash a sock ftf file.
So you are saying you unlocked bootloader on the 534 rom? Your camera is probably dead now, check it if you can boot.
Unlocking bootloader before getting on 4.3 or 4.4 will result in disabling the camera. You did it now anyway, I can't help you. Maybe flash 4.4 now and see if your camera works again.
Flashing cyanogen is not about root but unlock bootloader, people would recommend you to root first becoz you will be able to do TA back up with root
(TA backup is a way to backup drm key, so you can restore it in the future and restore locked bootloader exclusive feature like X reality and better quality camera. Seems you don't know what I'm talking about and already unlocked the bootloader before you even ever heard about TA. Sorry can't help you to save this part, you may continue anyway)
So on 4.4, you may have to unlock the bootloader again since the bootloader itself maybe relocked itself when you flash a sock ftf file. ( doesn't mean you restored DRM key is back)
So maybe unlock it again and start to flash cm.
Personally I wouldnt recommend a newbie in Android to unlock bl so fast since it's too easy to mess up serious things up and it's not so easy for turning back. Well you started messing them up anyway, continue then
Thanks for the reply.
I did do a TA back up before I unlocked the bootloader....If i restore from this will it get the camera working?
I have tried to flash Cyanogen mod but it fails error 7. It thinks my Z1 is a Togari (Z ultra) which it isnt cant find anything on this!
Ok so, i'll try and get on 4.4...
I have a UK Z1 C6903.
Can I flash to C6903 14.3.A.0.681 Global 1277-2880_R5C (this is 4.4 right?)
OR does it have to be a UK one I cant seem to find a uk 4.4?
So after a bit of stress and the phone getting stuck in bootloop I have installed 4.4.2 using .681 commercial.
I hope it will be smooth sailing now to install cyanogen mod
Oh and the camera works again!

happy to hear that u actually did TA backup
any 4.4 should be fine
after that install doomlord advanced stock kernel v2 i think
I have followed the rooting, backup (drm keys), flash new firmware etc etc procedure. However every time i flash a custom rom and reboot it goes into brick. I mean no bootloop just flashing red led when on charger, i cant even get to recovery to restore.
then i have to do
Flash .105 kitkat stock firmware>giefroot>dualrecovery install.bat>flash new pre rooted firmware>try flashing custom rom again>BRICK>(return to start)^
i have unlocked bootloader, everything done, even when i try and restore drm keys i get bricked.
i have currently given up on custom roms and im living with crap camera, no custom rom.....nothing.
please help, send food n water
Help please
:crying:
Did you find a solution for this.this? I have the same problem. I don't know what to do.

Oh OK. Thanks for replying . Damn but my bootloader is unlocked. No idea what I should do.
Hey guys,
Today I messed up with TWRP and accidentally deleted the data partition.
I had used janjan's solution like a year ago to get magisk (I'm assuming my DRM keys are gone), and my BL is also unlocked.
Sadly, my phone booted to the new setup wizard, and now magisk is not working.
I'm desperately trying to get back to stock ROM in order to get root again and have a custom kernel or some other custom ROM instead.
I'm not sure if that is possible any longer, I tried using newflasher (v19) to flash into stock but sadly it didn't recognize the phone.
I'm kinda lost, and I would love if someone would help and point me in some direction in order to get things working again.
Current situation is I'm on firmware 47.1.A.12.179, and cannot simply update it through fota (it won't install), magisk isn't working, but the phone does connect to google play store and functions 'normally' (without root though).
If anyone has any idea of what I could do next, that would be supreme.
Thanks for your time!
Use EMMA.
Thanks! I'll update with details
Edit: Amazing mate! This worked! My camera is back!
So many many many thanks
Just came here to say thanks. Spend few hours trying to install drivers when I actually mistook flash mode with fastboot mode lol

Hello
Tried to restore to stock ROM from EMMA, worked like a charm... But I can't ReLock back the bootloader.
Any advice?
It's not possible to relock the XZ1C's bootloader.
Hi all. I would like to revert the phone to stock after root and custom rom. Ther's a guide? I can't find anything on the forum. Thanks at all.
I think you just flash the stock firmware over what you have.

Thank's! So, no warry bout unlocked bootloader?
You might want to relock it first, but I don't think it matters. I am not sure though. Just basing this off my time with the S3 and S4 back in the day. With those phones it didn't matter. The S10 line are newer so it might with them.

I presume you want the boot screens to revert to normal without the Bootloader Unlocked warning screen.
If so, see my post HERE

I am on lineage os (Ivan_Meler) not rooted
under the developer there is no OEM option showing. My bootloader is unlocked, recovery is TWRP.
how can i goo back to stock ?
Just to be sure: Before I flash a custom firmware on a S10(+,e) like lineage, there is nothing to back up like DRM keys or certificates? (I had SONY phones before. If you reverted to stock on those some SONY apps would not work anymore if you did not backup the DRM keys).
Hello guys,
Similar question what is the procedure when I want S10e with flashed custom rom (TWRP Recovery), rooted and unlocked bootloader to return to stock firmware?
