newb with newb question

as said above ^ I'm a newb
anyway, I just wanted to know if while following the root/flash custom rom etc guide sticky in the forum, how would I revert back to my original ROM. Is there something I need to do before flashing a custom rom etc?
Thanks

using clockwork recovery mod.
see this for a brief idea.
in simple words...after installing clockwork recovery just go to the recovery...select backup and restore>backup and it will be done in a few minutes.

Just before you are about to install the rom in clockwork mod select back up and it does it for you.

Where can I get original firmware?

Hi all
I want to replace the bootloader and install root and maybe CM.
But I was looking for the original bootloader and more importantly, the original firmware so in case I do not want to stick with CM or want to send it in for warranty, I can reset it all.
Could somebody point me to where I can download the needed files?
Thank you guys and girls

I need to inform you that you cannot replace the bootloader. You can only unlock it. Once that is done your warranty is void.
Now I am not sure if that works so someone will have to confirm or you will have to google it, but the RUU resets your phone to stock.
Here is a link to the GolfU RUU
Alternatively you can flash stock ROM, recovery and kernel from this thread right here.
Happy flashing, any further questions you are welcome to ask :3

[Q] Rules of Flashing

Can someone make a list that shows how to flash and not flash?
Locked Bootloader with Root:Custom Kernels, Mods, Custom Roms, Custom Kernels, Stock Kernel?
Unlocked Bootloader with Root: .................
This way we have an easy way to know what to do and what not to do.
If you feels this is an unnecessary thread, just ignore it and let it die.

LB: only stock based stuff, no kernels
UB: anything

So if i have unlocked bootloader, it's hard to brick the phone?

You mean like the ones already given in the how to guides in the general and development sections?

I don't feel they are specific enough.
I feel they are missing out on explaining some parts.

Theoretically Yes, but in the main time you think you can do anything and you can flash something what really brick your phone, so I will be careful anyway.

Yes, you can flash Stock, Custom kernel like you like and any Stock, Custom Rom.
BUT I will not recommend to flash anything what it was not made for your model. So if the kernel is made for C6943 I will not flash it on C6903. Respect the compatibility.

You have chinese model, global miui 13 with it will have issues with microphone and sound stuck at highest level. If u want fully working Miui 13 ROM you’ll need to flash Indian miui 13 through fastboot.

Normally with these tools you can bypass the lock, read the instructions.
the best would be to flash a CN rom.

Do some research, the most common tool seems to be Sp flash.
I can't help you with the use of these tools, I've never had a soc mediatek phone (and I never will).

You have a Chinese device where the bootloder has been unlocked to install a Global version and now you know that you can't unlock the bootloader without breaking it.
Restore the phone to its original state then you will flash the global version.
