Hi. Sometime ago I installed a custom ROM, but I want to go to stock, preferably the latest. I honestly do not understand what EMUI is or how I can recover. I tried it once and got in a bootloop. Could someone sketch out the path for me to take? I have no problems finding the required files or topics but really need the general steps for this process.
Many thanks.

Hi there folks!
Im getting mighty confused about this flashing thing.
Im looking to change my ROM to something else then the ICS from Samsung.
Here is the deal.
I read the warning posts and it say (what i think it means) that my build "XLP9" ICS 4.0.3 from Samsung is not safe to do anything on.
I look around on the net to see if there is a way (despite what i read here).
It looks promising.
But all the things i find is ether a lower version of Android (like 2.3.x) or someone is telling me about tons of stuff to download and do before.
So this is were i ask you all.
Do (been searching for 2 days, perhaps my search terms are bad) anyone know if there is a working way to for me to change my version to AOKP for e.g without destroying my phone?
Like i said before, my Build is: XLP9, android version 4.0.3 (from Samsungs update service).
Phone is rooted using CWM.
Its a Note version for the .EU market bought like a few weeks ago (came with 2.3.x i believe).
If you know a thread that contains step by step instructions that will allow me to change the rom, please post it to me here.
Or if I´m screwed for updating to ICS just tell me so to
Cheers

Hello again.
Yet another day and cant locate any information that im after.
So i tought perhaps there is a way to downgrade the phone back to the factory settings (not ICS).
But since i did the upgrade to ICS is the old rom still on the phone?
I mean to reset it back (same as thode recovery discs on a computer).
Any help or points in the right direction is helpfull at this time.
cheers

It have too many method to change from stock rom to custom rom or aokp. My suggestion is choose your favourite rom and read carefully with the installation method provided at op, then you be fine.

Now that you have upgraded to ICS. Those are the factory settings.
Easiest way to downgrade to GB Is by flashing a stock GB rom via pc Odin.
Most of the new ICS custom ROMs now just require you to install AbyssKernel 4.2, then select advanced options and select reboot recovery. Then you wipe your device (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache). From this moment you're free to flash. It all takes less then a minute if you hurry (joking, don't rush when flashing your phone), and it's not very complicated. Do it once and you'll know it's simple.
You need to have a root access first. Plenty of guides how to do it out there.
Hi there!
First of all, yes, I'm completely new to modding Android phones. Not so new to modding in general though, which makes me question why I made such a nooby mistake... but alas, I now have to ask what many might think to be a nooby question in order to fix said mistake.
Just as the title said, I accidentally installed CWM before flashing my phone, and am now unable to launch into Recovery Mode. I know that there's a way to get it revert it to stock recovery, but as far as I've been able to tell, there's no way to do that without going into the Recovery menu in the first place. Does anybody have an idea what I can do?
My phone can still launch to the firmware (stock firmware, but am planning on installing Cyanogenmod 11), so for now I'm alright but considering the OTHER problems I'm having with the stock firmware, I'd really like a way to get back to my installation ASAP. If I can't, I'll get to my problems with the stock FW later...

NOTE: This was posted in the past, but I messed up the wording... probably why I didn't get help. I said that I had forgot to flash, but what I forgot to do was to Root my phone. Here's a copy-paste of my previous post, but with fixed wording.

Which CWM version did you use? Are you running a Stock rom?
So I have an older version of Viper ROM on 4.4.2, and I want to latest version of Viper ROM. From my understanding, it works better when you have 4.4.3, so I need to upgrade to that first. So, what do I need to do? Revert to stock, update OTA, and then re-root, get TWRP again, and then reflash to the new version of Viper ROM? I really hope that's wrong, but I don't even care what I have to do if I can just get a clear understanding of what it is I need to do.
I'm pretty annoyed that Viper ROM offers no support when it comes to updating, but when you search elsewhere on xda for this information it's very hard to find. I've installed custom firmware on phones about 5 times in the past 5 or so years, and I've never come close to having such a hard time at finding basic instructions. Every time aside from the first I haven't been able to fully remember the process, but had no issues like I'm having now when it comes to finding guides.

if you are s-off it's pretty easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 (in the firmware section), and note that the "fastboot flash zip <firmware>.zip" has to be done twice!!
I've gone through a few different files of CWM and none of them seem to work / boot into it. Version 2.3, version 3.0. Both are utter disaster. Only can get twrp to work but then it won't install a working copy of EMUI 3.0.
From what I read only CWM can install 3.0...
I could use a little help here, 5 hours bashing my head against this and still no luck.
My phone is on a continuous reboot as of now :crying:
downloading few files to see if i can go back to 2.3 but at my connection, it will be a few hours, i've all the files for 3.0 so I would really like to see if i can get CWM to work before I go back to 2.3.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Hi, cwm only works together with emui 3.0. So you have to be at least at B602 to install cwm. That means you have to update manually from 2.3 to 3.0(if you are on 2.3 install the 2.3 stock recovery and update with the three-button-methode to B609 or another emui 3.0 firmware). Now you should be able to run cwm correctly...

I wish this info was more easily accessible, the lack of a solid collection of info on dealing with Huawei phones is unbelievable. I had to learn through trial and error and finally got to have a working phone. I'm just lucky I've managed to get proper stock working on it for now. I do not feel adventurous with my phone for now
Thank you for the advice
