How to get back to stock rom

Hi 2 all!
I just flashed my device with android 2.2
But how can I get back to stock rom (RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865)?
The update program does not recognize my phone?
thanks

If you have flashed 2.2 then you have obviously rooted. It is just a matter of finding the rom you want. Put it on your SD card, and then use rom manager to flash it.
What exactly is not recognised?

...the htc rom update util does not recognice my handset...but I finally managed it. I had a backup and restored it with the rom manager.
How can I add the stock rom to the sd card. I looked at the files included in the stock rom (when it was extracted when entering setup) - do I need all files? Must I zip them??

Check the stickies. There's a thread full of stock ROMs (as .zips). Put it on your card, backup existing ROM, flash from zip (via ROM Manager or recovery).

thanks for sharing

I know this is for another thread but ROM manager is a tad temperamental on my phone. Won't let me install clockwork and Won't boot into recovery. All other tasks are greyed out. I do have ROOT and I am running a debranded ROM on an Orange phone.
Will take a look at the link above

....how I got back to stock:
I had a backup og my current stock rom with the rom manager. Within the rom manager I restored it. Thats all.
PS: There is nothing wrong with 2.2, but I like 2.1 stock ;-)

[Q] Remove Cyanogenmod Problem

Hi,
I had stock 4.3 firmware on my att i747 galaxy s3, then I decided to flash cyanogenmod. everything went well but i dont really like it.
Now I want to go back to stock. I tried flashing the stock rom with odin but it fails and it says this on the phone:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 0
The android version it shows is 4.3.1 and im able to use it normally with the cyanogenmod.
What can I do to flash a stock rom back?
EDIT: used triangle away and the custom binary download says "no" now and the current binary says "samsung official" but still get the same problem.
Thank You

You need to flash a stock ROM that has no boot loader attached to it. I just reverted my S3 back to stock from CM11 so that I could sell it. Flash a Rom.zip through recovery and it should work fine. I see you are ATT so I suggest this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. You have the choice of Stock Rooted without bootloader which is what you will be looking for. This thread also has everything you may need. Do not attempt to use Odin to flash roms with older bootloaders or you will find major issues.
You will almost definitely need to wipe everything so back everything up and be sure to take a Nandroid.

In that thread you have 2 good options that I can see. Scroll down and you will find one ROM by upndwn4par/full and another debloated directly under it. Which you chose depends on if you want Samsung/ Google software on it. The upndwn4par file will have you closer to stock than the other. Please be sure to read a couple pages, even if you don't get any immediate knowledge from it you will become way more familiar with these processes. It's worth the time, and safer for your phone.

Thanks once again, i will download the debloated one. But I have a question, that won't be a stock rom right? If the bootloader is the problem is there a stock d2att 4.3 rom i can flash?

That is a stock ROM. It is just pre rooted with knox removed. It is a modified version of the Stock OTA with the problematic parts removed..

You need a custom recovery to flash this. CWM or TWRP. I'm not too sure how you got to CM without one but be sure you have one and then flash the Rom from above. You can install CWM with the app 'Rom Manager'.

I installed CWM but now that i used cyanogen for a while im starting to like it. The only thing that I dont like is the music player. I downloaded google play but it is even worst, my playlists are not even in order. Is there any way of flashing the stock samsung music player on cyanogenmod or is it integrated with the touchwiz?
Thanks for all the help you gave me so far.
EDIT: I found this thread about ported s4 apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267029, can i just flash it with CWM using cyanogenmod?

You can not flash that S4 port. It says it is specifically for the Galaxy advance. Also you are correct that the Samsung player requires Touchwiz. Try Power Amp, it has pretty good reviews and features. A 3rd party player is probably your best bet. You can cherry pick for features

I tried a lot of players and didn't like any. Flashed the ROM you indicated using CWM and it worked. Did it all for the player Everything is working fine now and I really like how it doesn't have all the bloatware from att.
Thank you very much for the help.

[Q] Now stuck PLS HELP

This is my very first post i have found many solution on this forum which helped me & my friends But need help with this 1
Ok here goes my Story
I have recently brought s3(used) it was on 4.3 & rooted with philz touch 6 didn't check the firmware details etc

If you are able to access download mode, you could easily flash a custom ROM.

S i can access download mode
Can i go back to stock or only custom firmware from now on..?

If I were you, I would go to a custom firmware. That is if you have a custom recovery like ClockWorkmod or TWRP. But you can flash stock, at least to my understanding. But I'd look into that.
(Your bootloader will need to be unlocked too)

I am on Clockworkmod v6.0.3.1 the thing is i don't want a custom firmware 2 many problems
I would like to load stock buy have read most of them get their phones bricked

If you were on the 4.3 official stock ROM that was pushed out, you have a possibility of bricking your device downgrading to lets say the 4.1.2 stock ROM.
A custom ROM isn't bad though. If you do like Touchwiz based ROMs you may be able to find one in the development section.

What information are you wanting to backup?
You'll have to find your ROM of choice. If you want a reliable ROM then I'd recommend something that is stable, which should always be said in the thread,

Notes,contacts ,sms etc
Will check out stable Rom

Contacts could be backed up if you sync with your gmail account. SMS can be done by an application on the market. Notes that are synced on Evernote or Keep should just be there.

Thanks for the quick reply what can i do to fix this rrupert

For me, being fairly new, was to use the CyanogenMod installer. It does all the work for you, then you can flash whatever Rom you like.

I suggest you to use Odin to restore stock Rom from www.sammobile.com
When it's done, root again and reinstall custom recovery.
DON'T EVER TRY TO DOWGRADE

[HELP] Need help is flashing my Phone - Note II

Hello all,
I tried to flash CM 11 nightly version on my Galaxy Note 2 but is unable to do so.
When I try to flash, I get an error message that "This package is for device: t03g, n7100, GT-N7100; this device is t03gub"
I am sure that I have downloaded the correct version but from the above message it seems that I am trying to flash different version.
Please help!!! As I have cleared all the cache and memory, I even cannot boot into system. Cleared all the data for flashing the new CM11 but as I cannot flash now, I am stuck with a dead phone which I cannot use.
Please Help!!!!!!!

Flash Stock
Kindly go to www.sammobile.com and download the correct stock firmware for your phone.
Follow the instructions over there on how to flash. Or Google how to flash with Odin.
Once you get your phone live with stock OS you can go for Custom Rom.
As per my opinion DN4 by Electron Team is the best custom ROM.

Thanks for the help...... I did figure it out.... I had the flashed the wrong TWRP file initially and now rectified it.
Was able to install the CM on my phone.
Have a another problem though..... Phone network is not recognized. I mean by default, the mobile network is turned off and when I turn it on manually, it turns off the mobile network automatically.
Not sure how to rectify it..... everything else seem to be working fine.
Please help!!!

Anyone Help please....
The EFS partition is the culprit. I do not get ant IMEI no. on the phone.
Worst part is that I dont have the back-up too....
Any way by which I can bring back the phone to life?
Please help!!!!

Varun Did you ensure your phone is still rooted ?
Since you Install a stock rom form sams I assue its not Rooted or deodexed coz its stock rom ofcource..
Unless u are rooted you cannot install a good custom rom
Do a CF auto rooting using Odin
Reflash TWRP
Then Enjoy a new Custom rom
Go for DN 4 2.1 with mod v11 :good::good:
