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 ;-)

Is it possible?

Is it possible for us to download a stock rom (my country is I8150ZSLD1)
And make it cwm flashable? like:
get a stock ROM
Don't mod it
don't root it
don't touch it
only make it clockworkmod flashable
then flash in cwm
then flash back to stock recovery
is it usable?

I think so, because when we flashed a stock ROM, our phone will be just like the first day we got it (no root no mod etc), but you may lost your CWM, did I answer your question?
ps sorry my English is not that good so maybe I had misunderstood your question

I wanna know too. :good:

Yes it is. Just make a custom rom, BUT.. without touching anything.

nvm as long as we understand it's okay
i mean making a rom like a custom one, but touching nth, then use clockworkmod to flash, not odin, so clockworkmod will be here too. then use odin to flash back to the stock recovery. now i have my warranty back lol
p.s. is it possible for anyone to help me make it? thanks!!!!!

Well you could Flash a new Stock Rom via. Odin, Root and Install CWM; make a backup of the non touched Stock Rom.
This way you flash a Stock Rom, not using Odin.
Think that will work, too..?

Of course I know... but no one wants to increase the count in your download mode right?
I have a stock rom on my SD card but it is messed up. Like. Cannot play music and Samsung can know it. So I want a clean stock rom. But doesn't need to increase the number

yes it was possible
just need to use the kitchen , extract all the stock module and create a flashable rom
dont touch anything

3. Download the rom and your device patch from downloads and put them in SD Card
4. Boot into recovery
5. Wipe Data/factory reset
6. Go to advanced-Wipe Dalvik Cache and go back
7. Go to Mounts and Storage-Format /System and go back
8. Flash the rom and device patch and wifi modules
9. Reboot and enjoy the Dual Core Xperia Arc and Arc S
But here are a few questions:

Ok, does it mean that I need to have 62/42 on my phone, because I have ICS(official) on my phone for the moment.
Are there any people here who have tried this rom lately? Seems to be very stable, or are there any other rom that are even more stable?
Also the member on this forum, XtremeSilencer. Who made this app is banned, why? Is it something with the app?

62/42 means you have to have original firmware with build number 4.0.2.A.0.42 or 4.0.2.A.0.62.

Are you going to unlock your bootloader?
Because if you had done it already you dont need to flash first the stock GB .62/.42, and the atomic rom itself (or a kernel) installs automatically the CWM.
If you dont want to unlock it, then yes, the instructions you paste are the ones you must follow.

If i recall correctly he was banned because of his attitude, kinda arrogant.
And, dont know if its "official" but there is a 8.0 version in the last pages.

I used this rom for quite a while and i was very content with it. Fastest rom i've tried so far, stable (almost no crashes or things like that) and everything is working fine (like hdmi or notification led).
He got banned because he created a 2nd account here on xda which is not allowed. He also disrespected other rules but there's nothing wrong with the rom itself.

Haha lol, no
Don't unlock your bootloader if you have no idea how to do it.
You will find steps 5-7 in cwm recovery. Please inform yourself about how to flash a rom (root, boot to cwm etc.), otherwise you will screw things up eventually.

Are there any good and "very easy" guide out there?

So, maybe I should try another rom.
Which rom with locked bootloader based on Gingerbread is the most stablized?
The things I do with my phone is web-browsning, talk and taking pictures.No gaming...

Don't ask. Comparing ROM is forbidden on XDA. Try the ROM out yourself and see which one suits you best. If you continue to ask for "the most stabilized ROM", I will call for a mod to close this thread.

[Q] Installl a custom ROM while Rooted STOCK

I have rooted my S4 Mini so I could move apps into the SD Card and remove bloatware.
Samsung and my Operator have just put so much bloatware that is impossible to remove them without flashing a Custom ROM.
Now I am still rooted, and I still have the stock recovery and ROM. My questions are:
1) Which ROM is more stable/aosp? Cyanogenmod (10.2 ?) or SlimKaT ROM?
2) Can I install a custom ROM withthe stock Recovery? Is it recommended?
3) Any guides available that will help me do it, (given that I am ALREADY rooted and with stock rom?)
Thanks

1. This a a very subjective matter that get asked over and over again. You got to have to try it for yourself. Slimrom is by far, the only ROM with the least pre-installed app.
2) You can't install a custom ROM with stock recovery.
3) Since you didn't mention which method you use to ROOT (as few rooting method will install CWM for you), the first thing you need to do if to check if you have custom recovery. Some root method such as SafeRoot don't allow this operation (again you need to clarify). The easiest way is to install CWM is via ROM Manager from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager which the app will install CWM for you. Note that this will trigger Knox if you phone is protected by it.

first of all please specify ur model .. we have here 3 types .. lte model i9195 , dual sim model which i have i9192 and the single sim i9190
..thing is if you have an i9192 we dont have any aosp/cm/aokp for them as these roms require single sim and radio drivers doesnt get ported easily
... secondly u MUST CHECK if u have a knox bootloader or not ... if u dont know knox .. its just a flag in download mode "0x0" if u attempt to flash any bootloader in the phone throught odin even .. it turns "0x1" and IT CANNOT BE 0X0 AGAIN !! ..this voids the warrenty if u have of if its a job's phone u will face problems ...if u dont have "knox void warrenty" sentence in the download mode u are lucky and BE CAREFUL of flashing bootloaders .. in this case avoid flashing any new stock firmwares because they have knox .. remove knox from a guide here and then flash :highfive: ... thirdly as far as i know cm/aosp based roms here are stable but as usual they are not that good in camera and they are only avilable for i9190/i9195 ... u cant install a custom rom from stock recovery ..stock recovey flashes ONLY signed samsung zips "upgrade packages"
... 4th search by yourself xda is full of guides and here in s4 mini forum we have almost all needed guides :highfive: ... sorry for writing alot but when u asked about installing a custom rom with stock recovery is a "newbie" question so i thought to tell u everything

Thank for the helps guys.
First of all ROM Manager does not support my phone . I says that it can not find a suitable Recovery to install.
My model is i9195.
My Knox warannty is not valid anymore (It says warranty bit not found).

Also, I found this guide http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2013/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt.html
but I do not want to install the custom kernel. Will it be ok to skip the first step and just flash the Recovery?

Hmm, odd. I thought I did my CWM by ROM Manager. Any case just do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Do step 2-6 and you will have CWM.
PS. I'm not sure why you worry about the custom kernel, if you going to use custom ROM, it will have a custom kernel.

The reason is that I want to avoid using a custom kernel is because I read that some of them are 'insecure'.
Anyway, I will give it a try (steps 2-6) and see if it works.

[Q] No SD card mounted?

I recently installed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROm "Carbon" on my HTC One X Endevarou, and after some trouble that I got fixed with the help of this forum, I got it all working. Now I have another problem though... I can't access my SD card when the phone is booted. I can access it in recovery mode and as a USB Storage in recovery mode, but when I go to for example gallery, it says "No external storage found"

have you checked if there is any fix/workaround in the rom thread, or even if anyone reports tehe issue? it's not an hardware problem for sure, as you can access it via recovery...

Try another aosp kernel. That seems to fix it.

And if you had to explain that to a noob? I Googled it, but it only returned gibberish for me.

Well like there are custom sense kernels, there are also custom aosp kernels. Check the original android dev section. You see some kernel headlines that are also for aosp. Try one it might help.

Ohh, nice. I have no idea what kernel to flash though, do I just pick any? And what version exactly? I am at a loss.

read the respective thread, search if there is an aosp version of the kernel, read if there are issues and flash one (repack if required)... test if for some days and if you are not satisfied take another one and start over

yeah, just like you did with the rom one...
boot.img = kernel
kernel_name.zip = kernel modules
you can avoid flashing the boot.img only if your hox is s-off and the developer put the instruction to flash the boot.img in the updater script inside the zip file... so flash it via fastboot
