i'm on the alliance rom v4 and i would like to go back to stuck 5.1.1
how do i go back?
will smart switch recovery will do the trick?
Probably not, smartswitch isn't custom friendly.
Odin with stock, not stuck firmware.

Can you direct me to stock rom?
Or odin stock 5.1.1 firmware will do?

Is there a stock kernel download for the SGSIIE4GT? If there is I cant seem to find it. If i want to return to stock would i need to flash a full stock rom via Odin?
No stock kernel or firmware yet. So it isn't possible to get back to stock. Once either of those are released you can odin back to stock.

Do I need to root my phone to flash Stock roms via Odin? I want to flash the Stock rom and I wonder if it gonna lose the IMEI? thanks guys
Nope. But you do need root to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. There may be another method but im not familiar with it at the moment.
Anyway you can easily dl one of the stock firmwares from samfirmware.com and install using odin. Provided you just want pure stock.
And you shouldn't have to worry about losing your imei flashing stock with odin. I dont recall that ever hapoening. Besides, imei issues have been solved. Just check the dev section for info.

thanks for your reply
btw, I'm on stock with latest Tmo update now. Let say I want to flash stock without that update (stock before the update). how does it change my stock recovery? is the recovery still the stock with latest Tmo update?
I dont really understand how the stock recovery works. after I apply the update, is the update applied to the stock recovery too?
As far as I am aware it will rewrite your stock recovery back to whatever version you are installing as well. So long as you use odin and a full firmware file from Samsung.

II'm looking to sell my phone and want to set it back as new. I don't have a backup of the original rom so how can I go about it? I'm looking for an odexed, non-rooted stock rom with UK/IE CSC. I have the drivers and Odin installed so I'm just looking for the stock rom but having no luck finding it.
Check Sammobile.com

How do you go back to 4.3 after taking the OTA and then rooting it? I dont want to brick my phone. I have the 4.3 stock rom from sammobile that i could flash using Odin but not sure if that will work?

Best practice is to flash custom recovery then a custom rom. If you try using odin or other methods then an issue may/can arise. If you only flash custom roms you will have no issues with bricking hard or soft.

I used Odin to do a complete restore back to 4.3. I like a fresh start, seems I have less issues that way. Worked great then I rooted with cf auto root, then back to smoothest rom 2/3 imo.

Flash the stock firmware via Odin. You can find it in a thread in the general section.

If you don't care about custom recovery you could always go back to stock with kies.
