[Q] install a custom rom on a rooted rom

Hi guys. Gmaster here. First of all im using a rooted rom (not stock) and i want to replace it with a custom one. Im want to use mobile odin but im wondering if something might go wrong like root being removed during a process that requires root. I would use odin on my computer but my antivirus is...you get the point. But do i want a stock rooted one or will my other rom do it. Please tell me if it can do it or not (even if there is a soft/fixable bricking possiblility) if its hard brick possibility then i do want to know. Any answer that helps will get thanks off me.

As what you said, you are using "not stock" rom, so I assumed you did install a custom ROM in the past and it was successful. But why don't you follow the same way you did?
Alternatively, you can use adbshell to install CWM and then flash a custom ROM or zip through it.

There is Stock ROM and there is Costume ROM - bothe can be rooted or not (Coustume one almost always are).
Stock means: the original ROM from the manufactre (Samsung, HTC etc...).
you can learn more on how to back up your apps (titanium) and current ROM (CWM Recovery), and flashing a new rom from the forum threads.

I know guys but if i install a non root rom then wont cwm stop working?

My experience flashing non root stock room with cwm, the non root stock room became rooted stock rom by itself

Something easy is flash your new firmware and use a kernel like "Advanced Stock ICS Kernel" to root and finally reflash your stock kernel if your want its improvements, you can unlock your bootloader anytime, and the best custom room is Cyanogen, it just needs to flash an file in recovery mode.

How to Install a custom rom on stock 4.3 with knox

Hi All,
May you please advise how can I install a custom rom after I have already updated my Note 2 using OTA to 4.3.
I have not yet downloaded knox and enabled it.
I am basically confused how to root and install custom recovery ?
My phone is just 1 month old - If I root and install a custom rom and would like to install stock sometime in future to gain back official status and claim warranty, would I be able to do that ?
Many thanks !

Your warranty will get void if you plan to flash any custom ROM after downloading 4.3
To root/flash custom ROMs, do the needful over your current ROM, which I suppose might be 4.1.x

Thanks for the reply. Problem is, I have already upgraded to stock 4.3 using OTA update.
I am not very much liking the update because of missing note 3 features.
And now am trying to find out a way using which I can flash DN3 rom with the possibilities of rolling back to stock 4.3 to regain the warranty in worst case scenario.
Please help.
Thanks,
Nisha

You need to follow Dr. Ketan's guide.
First in order to get N3 features on 4.3 Stock you need to flash Dr. Ketan's custom Rom for note 2 4.3 MI6
Install custom recovery by flashing one from odin.
Root your phone using supersu 1.65. Flash it (but no need, dr. Ketan's rom is prerooted)

[Q] bootloader question

Im on stock image 4.3 with root. I just installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 version for 4.3 . As I was looking at the rom's the majority of them want me to be on bootloader 4.2 or 4.4 before I can use the rom. What is the safest and easiest way to get there? the last time I modded a phone was with my HD2.
sorry for the noob question. I have been out of the loop for a while.
Thanks

If I goto sammobile to download N900TUVUENK3 and flash it with odin would that give me the boat loader I need? also would I need to upgrade twrp at that point? is there a document that covers this? any help would be appreciated.

Yes just be total stock 4.3 then flash the N900TUVUENK3 rom using odin and you will be able to flash any 4.2, 4.4, or 5.0 rom available. You just have to be 100% stock to do it including recovery. After you install the new rom then you can root it and install any custom recovery you want. Thats what I did. Revert to total stock, flashed the NK3 rom, rooted, then installed recovery. After that you will have a 4.2. bootloader and will be to install any rom out there. Hope this helps you out.

What is the proper way to restore custom rom back to stock?

So I have a Sm-t700 running on cm12 with twrp custom recovery and I want to go back to kitkat stock rom. Is it as simple as just using odin to flash the stock rom or do I need to do anything else, just want to avoid bricking my device thanks in advance.

The best way to return to kit kat is like you say. Using Odin and a proper stock rom; before that don't forget previously make a full wipe through recovery
