After 5 days (seriously) attempting to root my phone I think I finaly managed (I think) and I also installed the CyanogenMod 6.0 ROM which I REALLY don't like it. I actually like the original ROM minus the T-Mobile crap that comes along with it (locked items etc).
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to remove the CyanogenMod ROM and get back on the original ROM? Is there a ROM that just gets rid of the locked items?
I am a noob and a step by step for idiots would be greatly appreciated
To revert to stock you need to get ESPRIMG.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard. Boot into the bootloader and it will automatically install stock.
Out of curiosity why did you flash CM6 after rooting, you could've stayed stock with root instead.

YAY someone replied!!! (Sorry the excitement but I have been posting for days on different forums and no response )
I think I have the ESPRIMG.zip already on there (it's the file that transfers when doing the initial root right?). Now what exactly do you mean by "put it in the root of your sdcard?" Like on its on and not in a folder?
To answer your question, i followed the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754669 and since it said to add a ROM and the link provided had several links I just looked for one. The CM6 seemed to have good reviews and I just went along with it.
I am a complete noob to flashing/rooting/hacking/etc... phones and thought it was actually needed.
Once I am in bootloader, I do nothing and let the phone act or do I have to select certain options?
Not true, although that is a way, but generally the espr.img file floating around is the engineering build, not stock. If you want the stock ROM with root simply install CR_MOD. It has the ota update applied as well as root maintained. You will also need to remove the espr.img file as it is only needed once.
One other thing, someone is going to do this, so I'll put it nicely.
This is the Development section, not Q&A. This doesn't really have anything to do with development of ROMs or apps, simply how to flash another ROM. There are many guides on how to flash a different ROM, and using the search feature (which you should have done) would have pointed you to CR_MOD which is a stock ROM. If you don't like some of the apps simply remove them from the zip file.
db, I actually did look and read a few http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705345 but they don't say if its for the slide or is it the 2.1 ... does that make sense?
Sorry if I am in the wrong forum, I was trying to be careful to post in the proper one but alas I was wrong a second time....
I just need to be pointed in the right direction and get a step by step guide for noobs in order not to screw my phone.
Would it be possible to transfer this post to the correct forum?
I appologize for the inconvenience.
A moderator can move the thread. There is a guide in this section on how to flash a rom, this section also has the CR_MOD thread where you can download the ROM.

Yes, it will. CR MOD is based off of Stock Espresso. It is a 2.1 ROM with the Espresso Sense, etc. It just has bloatware removed.
Just go to the rom bible or search for CR_MOD 1.35 OTA FULL and it should come up man. If you are patient ill post the link to the thread later and how to flash it.
On a side note... Whats up the questions threads in the development section lately??

For me, the word development = ROM sooooo I just put one and one together but I was wrong and this should have gone to the Q&A... sorry once again.
A link would be great. My eyes are seriously tired of reading and readin and reading for the past 5 days =/
Development = development. As in the developing of roms. Not asking questions about said roms. That's for the QUESTION & answer forum.

I really wish people would stop their banterings about being in the wrong forum. The latest sticky on rules in the dev forum states to use the Report button. All you have to do is click that button and a mod will move it faster than 10+ replies as to why it shouldn't be in this forum. Yeah it's frustrating, but getting it moved is only a click away.
To the OP: Use the ROM Bible to find good info on which ROM is which. The sections are named in a retarded fashion, but the section labeled "Before Espresso, Roms Made Sense!" will probably be the ones you want (Sense is the name of the UI that is from HTC and was the stock look of the software).

At the very top of this page there is a search option right? I copy pasted " CR_MOD 1.35 OTA FULL" and all I got were 9 results none of which where the actual link to it.
Anyhoo...

As with most things Android, I think it is just personal preference (and time). I know the scripts are becoming more advanced but I like flashing zip files...it sort of brings back the excitement of the first few flashes and satisfies that craving to flash something new lol
Manually flashing has less room for error as you perform all the wipes manually. Scripts aren't perfect, but I guess I haven't had any issues with it thus far.
I was wondering if there were some kernels that were compatible with the stock rom. If there are could you list some popular ones? I've tried to research but couldnt find anything. Guess i suck at searching.........
Go the original development sections and look for threads labeled kernel and read their OPs to see if they are compatible with touchwiz (stock.) Flashing a kernel requires being root also.
Aside from root access, you will also need a custom recovery.
I sugest the KT kernel is has a nifty app that gives you a lot of tweaks

+1 to ktoonz kernels for being user friendly.
If your going to flash anything always follow the steps to not brick your device.
Always make a backup whether you use cwm, or tw always boot into it and backup and then your not stuck with something you don't want and you can magically go back on time to your stock ROM.
I personally think if your going to bother changing kernels its almost as easy as changing ROMs. Either way you will have to root and that's more of a hassle than flashing a ROM.
Goodluck.
Pin it to Win it.

yea im already rooted. ive tried liquid smooth, jedi invasion, synergy, and im currently running galaxymod. Im wanting to go back to stock and just use an custom kernel.
i am being treated like a noobie haha but its understandable because i just registered.
ill try kt kernal. thanks for the suggestion., thats what im lookin for! =-D
Sorry to play ya down as being a noob but you gotta assume the worst sometimes...
Im getting some extreme batterylife/speed with thebfaux 17m kernel for my touchwiz based rom... defiantly worth looking at if you are oc/uv savvy
Pin it to Win it.

They should be. I personally have used the no trip counter method a while back and it works like charm. I would be surprised if it wasn't up to date. The devs are pretty good about it and would also put if the thread is no maintained anymore.

Nice. I used it once before but then auto rotate quit working except in the camera app and wasn't sure if it was a result of that or something else. Ive got a replacement now and miss the root features (TiBu, Greenify, etc). I can always hit em up again if it happens again I guess.

Firstly, stop been lazy use search. This is obvious to anybody with common sense a question that will have already been asked and covered in many topics already so no need to create a new topic just to be spoon fed. Look and read and you may learn something.
Second, There is in absolutely in no way shape or form any such thing as a "best rom" and the question/topic itself is ridiculous and not allowed on XDA for many reasons. Read rules.
Watch this XDA introduction video as it bluntly lines out what you should know as a new user..

^^^ This.
Additionally thread closed as its a Best ROM thread. OP what works best for one user may not work best for you due to differences in how you use the device. My advice would be to try them out and see which one is best for you.
