[Q] Question about installing stock ROM

Ok so I want to install the ROM with the volume fix found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371054 but do I have to wipe cache, dalvik, data if I'm coming from the previous stock ROM that came with the device (ITL41D)?

No not really but you do want to unlock the bootloader and flash CWM first.

Directions above are brief and perfect.
One addition, can't hurt and is good practice, also make a nandroid backup after unlocking the bootloader and loading CWM but before flashing the ROM.
New devices bring new bugs and tweaks, plus us humans we are error prone. A good stock backup is usually one of the first things I always do .. even if I never end up using it. Provides a great fall back in case anything does go wrong.
Good luck and let us know if you have any issues!

No need; just remember to clear data and cache between ROMs.

While this is true, don't be surprised if you run into issues. A full wipe is usually suggested to best avoid any issues.

Dont really need to go back to stock. Just make sure to do a backup and then a full wipe and cache wipe and install

Done Screwed Up My GT-N7105

I installed the 01-29 Nightly & 12-12 Gapps on my shiny brand new 7105 and now it won't boot. I've searched till to I'm blue in the face and I'm about to have a breakdown. I can find stock roms & etc for the 7100 but not the 7105. Someone please point me to a stock Odin Rom so I restore this thing.

Thanks downloading it now.

I finally got this installed through Odin, but it now hangs up on the Samsung logo. What can I do now?

Hi,
Try this:
Turn your phone off
Boot your phone in to recovery (hold home + volume up + power)
Do a factory reset
Wipe cache ect
Then reflash the ROM with Odin
Then leave it for at least 10 min to boot. As it can take a while.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers

I did the factory reset & wiped the cache as you suggested. It rebooted before I get it turned off and I let it go. It booted on up and I'm good to go again. You helped me get my new phone back and I appreciate it. I don't know if I'll try anymore custom rom's or not on this 7105.

Completely up to you, mate. You just have to be very cautious when flashing things on your phone. You have to be very particular with the files you're downloading. Just ensure that everything's for your N7105. ^^

Hi,
Glad you got it working.
It should be pretty safe to flash ROMs on it, just make sure they are for the N7105.
Always make a cwm backup, then u can just flash that to restore everything.
If you follow theses rules when flashing ROMs, they should boot fine most of the time:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Install ROM
Wipe data again
Wipe cache
Fix permissions
Custom ROMs are so much better then stock, so its a shame not to use them

Did you do a data/cache wipe when you installed CM nightly over the stock rom ? Maybe that's why it wouldn't boot up.
Anyway, don't be afraid of custom roms, if CM10.1 is what you'd rather use - try again and if something goes wrong - there's tons of people here who can help

Also *always* make backup of IMEI, it can get borked for no reason :silly: TWRP has the ability to backup only single partitions eg.

Yes, I did the Factory Reset and wiped cache & delvik cache first.

[Q] How to Flash my Galaxy W back to Stock Recovery and Stock ROM

Hi,
Few months ago I rooted my Galaxy Wonder (Malaysia version) to CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.4 and flashed to a Custom ROM. Now I wanted to flash back my phone back to Stock Rom because the Custom ROM is very battery consuming.
Now, when I try to flash the Stock ROM in CWM recovery.. the error shows "E: Can't open /sdcard/I8150DXLM3_I8150OLBD1_XME.zip (bad)" then Installation aborted. I tried to download a few Stock ROM from different sources but still give me the same error when I wanted to flash it in CWM Recovery.
Can anyone here please tell me how to solve this problem? Do I need to unroot my phone (flash back to Stock Recovery) before I can flash back to Stock ROM? If yes, how to flash back to Stock Recovery?
Your help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance. Hope to see you all to reply me

Now I follow the steps in the thread you given me by using Odin.. After the step <1> Close serial port and wait until rebooting..
My phone is keep on restarting and appear the SAMSUNG logo and never enter into android system! It seems like a another problem coming out? How to solve this problem now? :crying:

First start up takes up to 5 min.
But if you get bootloop, go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset
Sorry for my english

first, download your country stock rom
after download, extract this file
download odin and samsung usb driver
flashing frimware via ODIN, wait until succed, if stuck, go to recovery, wipe data and cache. finis

You need to do a clean installation/ pristine. since it will leave some custom ROM files in ur internal storage. i always do (in CWM) wipe data / factory reset, format system and format /sdcard0 (internal storage) before installing any custom/ stock ROM.

[Q] Go back to 4.2 from CM 11

I use Samsung Grand I-9082. I don't know much about android's workings and followed a youtube video to root my phone. I was then on 4.2.2 and then out of curiosity upgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1. It was fine so when Cyanogenmod 11 came out i flashed it too using the same CWM recovery. Since about a month ago my phone is becoming unresponsive sometimes especially at lock screen and occasionally it reboots by itself while i'm in the middle of something.
Is there any way i can go back to android 4.2 from CM 11? I should also mention here that i don't want to unroot, just downgrade to a stable rom that my phone will be able to adequately function with, without causing any trouble.
So suggest some good stable roms with dual sim capability. I'm considering gennxt custom rom.
I'm not much technology literate, so kindly give me instructions for the procedure. Thanks in advance.

You can flash any stock custom rom
Or restore your stock rom backup through cmw recovery If you have
