[Q] HELP! How restore to stock rom after flashing custom rom??

HI, I was on latest stock rom from GIO (Gingerbread 2.3.6 - I guess), and I upgraded to CM7.2 Jelly Bread custom rom (ROM OS Version: 2.3.x Gingerbread / ROM Kernel: Linux 2.6.x). Before I flashed the custom rom I made a (nandroid) Backup with CWM on the stock rom. now I decided to restore back the stock rom,
My question now is: Is it possible to just restore my backup with CWM and I'm back on stock rom? or I need to do something else? or maybe depends on CWM version???
Any Help Please
Thanks in Advance

You can restore your stock rom using Odin downloading the Stock 2.3.6

[Q] Touchwiz Based ROM to CM 11 / AOSP / AOKP Roms Flashing Question

Hi so im currently using DN3 Rom the 4.4.2 Based one and I enjoyed it. But just now since the stock camera was launched on the playstore I want my device to become cm11 or aosp based rom. So this is my question if I flash aosp rom isnt there any problems at all? And if I succeed to flash aosp could I get back to dn3 again with the same procedure or do I need to flash everything via odin? Thanks

You don't have flash your phone using PC Odin but for changing your phones base from TouchWIZ to AOKP/AOSP you've to perform clean installation.

[Q][Acro S] going from 4.4. back to 4.1

Hi,
I'm now on Kitkat 4.4 and want to go back to a 4.1 customs rom.

Flash stock based kernel with recovery using fastboot and then you can flash the custom 4.1 rom from recovery.

Flash stock .96. For rooting flash .211 kernel, and then run Doomlords script and then install CWM before flashing the .96 kernel.

For .96 kernel and .211 kernel Google is your friend.
My advise is for stock 4.1.2.
God luck!
May I ask why you want to go back to Jellybean? Have you tried Mekoo? I have flashed Jelly bean more than I can count (I can only count to ten ) after trying KitKat, but after I tried Mokee I have been satisfied.

I tried mokee, cm11, beanstalk. They are really good... In mokee is a little bit to much in chineese... But in all Roms i Miss the FM radio... So i think i will go back

I don't notice any Chinese in Mokee beside in TWRP, but with Google that's manageable. Running the latest 4.4.2 version. Will install 4.4.3 Nightly today. I don't use the FM cause my favorite channel is only on DAB.

[Q] Noob questions about Kernel

Hi there!!
I'm about to unlock my phone bootloader, and i wanna know some things about kernels:
Can i "downgrade" the kernel. For example from a KitKat kernel to Stock (Jelly Bean 4.1) Kernel?
Can i use a KitKat Kernel in a Jelly Bean Rom?
If Kernel have CWM recovery, it still working even if ROM stop working?
I know that in Linux you can update to the lastest kernel in same distro and don't matters, but Android is "special"...
Now i've CWM for locked bootloader and it is installed in ROM instead in Kernel, then if ROM is damaged CWM can stop working. I think if is included in Kernel then don't matters what happen in ROM, but I want to be sure.
Thanks!!

I'm not really sure about question 1 & 2.
Answer for question 3:
Yes, the recovery should work even the rom is messed up.
Thats when bootloop happen .

1- Each rom has a specific kernel so if you want to install a kitkat kernel you can't install a JB rom so if you want to downgrade you can only downgrade the version of the kernel !!!
2-As I mentioned above you can't
3-Yes because the kernel is not damaged in your case so CWM will be working with no issues !!!

Thanks!!!, for now i'm still using a JB kernel with JB Rom. Waiting for a full working port of xLoud

If You are going to unlock Your bootloader in future, do remember to backup Your TA partition.

[Q] Return from CM12.1 to a stock based rom

Hello
What is the best way to go from CM12.1 to a rooted, stock based rom? Like the DstrikerZ1KaiROM. Can I just flash it from recovery then flash the latest RockZ1L kernel for it?
Thanks!

There are prerooted stock ROM as flashable zips here in this forum. Just scan the General Section and choose your preferred version. This would be the easiest option as long as you have an accessible recovery.
Without recovery (or when you want a non rooted genuine stock version) you have to use flash tool and download a stock firmware.
