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, I have seen, it is the first time you are installing a rom. So please be careful!
You must read exactly the Instruktions from the OP.
Hello,
2. Reboot to recovery(only TWRP/CWM Touch/PhilZ is supported)

CWR you have used does not work for flashing the rom :angel:
Btw, when you are flashing a rom for the first time, and you have less experience with roms you should to consider, if you take another rom. For the rom you choosed is still in Beta status!
Take a stable or nightly rom. Anyway you have at least to install CWR from the above Link.
Good luck!

I used an old version of CWM maybe thats why :crying:
YES!! I have the ones you recommended installed already!, :laugh:
So can i just install the latest nighly ??? (for me instaling is doing the installation from the recovery is the same as flashing?)
Im in stock rom so can't really understand about the kernel, if I install the nightly or these one, have the kernel included?, or do i have to install the kernel? (and how??? these step is done with flashtool right?)

Yes hou have had the wrong CWM. Herewith you can install (Flash=same) every rom you want (build for LOCKED BOOTLOADER)! Forget it with the kernel. On locked bootloader you cannot install any other kernel. The kernel you need for a rom is included in the rom!
And again: When you flash a new rom - read the instructions from the OP :fingers-crossed:
Cheers.
I recently started flashing custom roms. The most common trouble that comes is how to get back to stock rom. Anyone please give a detailed procedure how to get back to stock rom from flashing stock recovery to flashing stock rom...
Thank you

1.Download the stock rom from letv forum
2.If you r on Codeworkx TWRP, install Chinese TWRP by ycjeson
3.Then install the stock zip file (19s). First time you may get error, flash again the same file.
4.It asks whether to install stock rom, give yes.
5.Now your phone will be with stock rom and recovery. with bootloader locked.
If this helped ..hit thanks
Stock Recovery given by rishab rao :

Stock Rom :
https://devs-lab.com/download-letv-official-stock-rom.html#Le_2_Qualcomm_Stock_ROM
rename the downloaded stock rom to update.zip and then place it in the root directory of internal storage
flash stock recovery and click the update option
you'll get an error but try again
That's it!
Better take a twrp back up soon after you flash the stock rom just in case.
Hi! Currently running LOS 14.1 with Boeffla kernel, but I need to flash the stock one. Any ideas where to can find it?
Just flash rom.zip again on top of the current installation.
Or extract the boot.img from rom.zip, put it in a flashable zip and install it via twrp.
Will this overwrite only the system files? (I don't want to set up the phone from start... )
No if you just flash it on top of the current system, without any wipes or resets, all settings and datas should be still there.
Oh thanks! that's great! Can you do the same to try another ROM?
Switching from one rom to another with a so called dirty flash?
I would say: its not only not recommended :good:
You can try a dirty flash with a version update of the same rom, but all other would most likely end in problems. And latest than you will have do to a clean flash anyways. I would suggest you read the thread of your preferred rom(s) in advance and carefully (at least the last several pages) and than decide what and how you will flash.
Any ideas how to revert back to stock kernel do we have a flashable zip file TIA
If you didn’t make a backup then you need to flash your ROM again.
Dirty flash your existing rom
if you want to flash to miui rom again, you need to flash lazyflasher
