Ive rooted my phone, and now would like tto put back on the same rom that came with the phone, but keep root. Is that possible? if so which rom is it?
Thx
you can only ever install a rooted rom, if you do not then you will lose your root.
so if you install your unrooted stock rom then yes you will lose your root.
the stock rooted rom is the generic htc rom, it would be the rom that came with the phone only with root access.
yeh i know thats y im using modaco, but i wondering if there was a clean rom based off the main one?
modaco custom rom, i think its at r3.1
a cleaned up and improved version of the generic htc rom, currently using it now and is flawless
you can find it in the development section
have a problem where my widgets dont add themselves to the widget screen using that rom for some reason
thats definitely not a common issue with the rom
make sure you wipe cache/data before installing the rom
Unroot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710092&postcount=4, near the end or the video tutorial at the end of the first post)
Then just follow the normal steps for root access, without flashing a new ROM once you're done.
Hey john does that still give me root access for apps such as titanium etc?

I have an htc desire that came with stock froyo 2.2, I decided I wanted to experiment with custom roms as I found the stock firmware a bit laggy.
I had previously bricked my samsung galaxy s by trying to flash a custom rom using odin3 software, so this time I wanted to tread carefully with my htc desire so I rooted it then installed rom manager from the market, I paid for the premium version and initially downloaded a cyanogen rom, when it finally booted up with it, it just hung in the boot animation stage, being confused I wondered if I was supposed to install something else with it? So I restored it back to the stock rom then downloaded pirate rum froyo 2.2 gingerbread design, booted into this fine and it works brilliantly. I really am a novice when it comes to rooting & flashing so I wonder if anyone can explain rom manager as if doesn't explain what files you need to download . I am confused with all the diferrent files on the download section on rom manager as some files are called kernels some are callled radio files, some are called roms. I am keen to now try another rom but I prefer to play it safe & stick with rom manager so can anyone recommend a custom rom that is fast and stable that I can download using rom manager? I have read that I can download a rom from my laptop and save it to the SD card on my phone & flash it that way without using rom manager but I'm worried about bricking this phone. Can anyone offer me any encouragement?

Everybody starting felt a bit like you do.
So before flashing them read about Desire roms here. Some of these threads are pretty long, so it's a good idea starting with the latest posts that usually contain the newest information. Also its also a good idea to use the search function on specific questions as most of them are already answered.
And now enjoy your phones freedom!
Hi all,
I have an S-off OG EVO running stock GB 2.3.3. I would like to stay with the stock ROM and be able to run Titanium Backup and be able to create a wifi hot spot.
I had such a configuration on my Optimus S and it worked very well for me.
I have to say that I really love my EVO and I am just missing these features to be perfectly happy.
I flashed a ROM labeled as stock GB rooted, but it was not really the stock ROM I have, for example the ## menus did not work and the screen lock was the regular GB lock, not the sense one. I had to flash back to pure unrooted stock to activate the phone on my line.
Since I have S-off, I can flash any ROM, any suggestion about where to get an actual GB 2.3.3 OTA rooted ROM or if it even exists?
I would go with a different ROM, but reading some of the problems that users have with some functionalities not working, I am concerned, I need a fully functional phone, although I would not mind vanilla GB, if I was sure that everything works perfectly well.
The closest I found is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379, but people seem to have tons of issues that do not exist in the stock ROM.
Any suggestions?
Download the Superuser flashable zip and flash it through recovery. This will root your current non-rooted rom. Then download Titanium Backup and select the problems button. Install busybox from there and you should be able to do what you need without flashing a new rom.
There's a complete guide somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

Thank you for your reply.
So being S-off is enough to gain root? I just have to flash it and be rooted?
I will try as soon as I have a few minutes.
It worked perfectly, thank you!

No problem
I'm glad that you were able to follow my really vague guide. Especially considering I've never done it myself, I just regurgitated what I've heard.

Hi guys. Gmaster here. First of all im using a rooted rom (not stock) and i want to replace it with a custom one. Im want to use mobile odin but im wondering if something might go wrong like root being removed during a process that requires root. I would use odin on my computer but my antivirus is...you get the point. But do i want a stock rooted one or will my other rom do it. Please tell me if it can do it or not (even if there is a soft/fixable bricking possiblility) if its hard brick possibility then i do want to know. Any answer that helps will get thanks off me.

As what you said, you are using "not stock" rom, so I assumed you did install a custom ROM in the past and it was successful. But why don't you follow the same way you did?
Alternatively, you can use adbshell to install CWM and then flash a custom ROM or zip through it.
There is Stock ROM and there is Costume ROM - bothe can be rooted or not (Coustume one almost always are).
Stock means: the original ROM from the manufactre (Samsung, HTC etc...).
you can learn more on how to back up your apps (titanium) and current ROM (CWM Recovery), and flashing a new rom from the forum threads.
I know guys but if i install a non root rom then wont cwm stop working?

My experience flashing non root stock room with cwm, the non root stock room became rooted stock rom by itself

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3
Stock Android 4.1.2.
As I tried rooting my phone using the Samsung GS3 Toolkit, the closest option was choosing my device as if it was on 4.1.1. After successfully rooting it, my wifi and camera did not work. My main goal is to install the latest CyanogenMod but I honestly don't know where to go from here. Since then, I have tried resetting my phone to factory from what looked like a recovery app provided by the toolkit but that just wiped all my data and neither my wifi nor camera work.
Question?
1) Where to go from here?
2) Is a ROM a layer on top of an android version, or is a rom the android version?
If it was simply a layer, I would guess I would have to flash it with stock again because its broken. If not, could I still install CyanogenMod and that would fix it?
A ROM is the whole operating system, not a layer on top of anything. Did u make a backup of your stock ROM before flashing cm? What custom recovery do u have?
There presently is no readily available boot image to make an insecure boot for the 4.1.2 MG2 firmware, I had the same problem and reflashing a different rom is not the best way to start, in my case I had a stock rom yo download and flash right now you don't so my hope would be you made a backup with the tool before you flashed anything, however even after returning to stock my camera appeared not to be working in order to fix that I had to format my internal memory, after that I was fine and back to normal. A method at this time to gain root that seems to work well is chainfires auto root method and it is very self explanatory and easy to use. As soon as Samsung posts update for MG2 I am sure there will many choices available I know I for one will pull the update and root and debloat it with dsixda's kitchen, hope this helps

Hi, i succesfully rooted my LG G3. The main reason for doing this is because i was back able to write to SD card with many apps. Now that is ok. But i wonderd what else i can do since i am rooted now. I am actually happy with stock ROM but i would like to get rid of all that bloatware. What do you guys recommend. Delete all apps i don't need or flash new ROM without bloatware. I read that with many ROM's we lose the quality of the camera. Let me say that i use the camera on my LG G3 ALOT! So i don't wanna lose quality on the camera. Should i stay then with stock ROM?
thanks
camera quality problems exist in non stock based roms (cm12 based) don't worry about it in stock based roms.
After rooting my stock rom I usually install Titanium Backup and remove the programs I don't use. Then I install Startup Manager and take control on what starts up with android.
Do you guys install TWRP custom recovery?

Installing a custom recovery like TWRP is good for a rooted device . It is necessary for installing a custom rom. The easiest way to insatll TWRP is by using autorec app from playstore. You just have to download the app for your device and open it.
Titanium backup or ROM toolbox are good apps for a rooted phone and both of them will allow you to remove bloatware.
Ok thanks will look at it
