Need Stock Rom

I had a backup of stock before root but when i tried to back up to it today it gave me a md5 mismatch so i couldnt back up to it. From what I seen in beaups thread that I need to be on a stock rom and stock kernal for his s-off method to work. Is there a stock rom that I could flash to use the s-off method?

I'd like this answered as well. I think andy's stock rom near the bottom of the page works, but I haven't had a confirmation yet. Also wondering if odex versus deodexed versions matter.

Same boat im in just waiting for somebody to say which one we can use when we are already rooted and unlocked. I dont know how my md5's mismatched on my stock before root backup but I can't go back to it so Im kinda stuck here until we get a answer.

Just heard andy's bonestock works trying it myself to confirm.
EDIT: Downloading the 1.1 download not the newest. Under old downloads. I would think the more stock the better.

Just tried v1.0a..... No dice.

I'd test 1.1 but for some reason it won't let me copy the zip over to my phone... Keeps saying the device has stopped working or has been disconnected. Tried many different USB ports.... Going to have to bluetooth it which is going to take even more time...

Actually I'm having more problems with this than I did trying it on 1.0a and NOS...
I'm trying to find my nandroid of stock rooted but I think it was on a drive that failed.
Linux boot, next???

I HAVE NEVER USED TWRP FOR BACKUPS. IT IS A MERE SUGGESTION THAT THIS METHOD WILL WORK WITH SIMILAR RESULTS. I HAVE NEVER BROWSED A BACKUP FOR TWRP. ANY ATTEMPT YOU MAKE USING A TWRP BACKUP IS OF YOUR OWN COGNIZANCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
YOU ARE WARNED.
YOU ARE WARNED.
IIRC: If you have an md5 mismatch while trying to restore in a recovery, try this process:
IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP I HIGHLY SUGGEST STORING THE BACKUP FILE ON YOUR DESKTOP JUST IN CASE!!!!
Boot into whatever ROM you're on ATM.
Browse to your ClockworkMod (or TWRP backup must have an accessible folder for it's backups) using a Root file explorer, which I happen to use "Root Explorer" and open the backup file you just made.
Inside of that will be a nandroid.md5.
Delete that file and reboot into recovery, and try restoring again.

If using CWM, they will be under the /data/clockworkmod/backup directory, not /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

Ok i found it it was under /data/media/clockworkmod/backup but i dont see any files inside of that that are a md5 file im going to look in the data.ext4.tar file and the system.ext4.tar.a. Does any of those ring a bell? i see the boot.img, data.ext4.tar.a, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.a, and system.ext4.tar.b. Thats all the files inside the backup i made before i rooted.

Ubuntu Touch officially released | How can i flash it with TWRP?

As many of you must know, Ubuntu has been officially released today, and now i was wondering how can i flash it on my Gnex with TWRP? Anyone knows? I really want make a test drive.

You have everything you need here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install

It doesn't work with lte as far as I can tell, which makes me sad.

It's smooth, everything works pretty well, but it isn't usable as daily driver

is a bit complicated,why they didnt provide any zip file which they did for nexus 4

So does this mean I can just backup my current ROM, wipe and then flash all zips except for the recovery and then I have Ubuntu? Can I go back to my current ROM with TWRP exclusively?
I'm a bit worried about, like, everything.

Sure, no problem.
Just be sure to get rid of /data/ubuntu before your next nandroid. On my device I always fail to restore when it's in.

Waiting for daily use release to make a decision with native app. I think this is one of the biggest flaws of android

is it ok (not affect anything) to not install the boot, recovery, and system img file?

Just install with your recovery like itasoulas say :good:

Galaxy nexus gsm without dual boot.

Galaxy Grand keeps freezing. Forced to restart each time.

Hi, I flashed my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos with CM12.1 rom around 1 month ago. My phone keeps getting stuck and nothing works. After that I am forced to restart the phone each time it gets stuck. The phone getting stuck is also random. The Phone would freeze whenever I open any random app especially Whatsapp and during the operation of any other apps. Please help me. Thanks.

What was your last firmware? Before flashing cm12.1? If its 4.1.2, you need to flashed 4.2.2 to get the bootloader. Can you post in cm12.1 thread? The more user know your issue, the better chance to get the solution.

Depends on your needs. So that you know, the Aroma package is full package Gapps with an option to choose what app you want to install using scripts, still the same using recovery, but with graphical chooser.
Other package can do the same, but you need to make a file of list which app you don't want to install. But nano is good to go if only need the basic Gapps.
Personally, I like to leave /system with lesser app, lighter mean faster/smoother I believe. So nano it is.

Any luck? Plus I don't know if you use Sprint service or not, but I know people couldn't get service with other note 7 port. So I tried editing a couple different data ports myself. I don't use Sprint so I can't test if they work. I know they work for my GSM sim. If you need to try them post me back

It looks like it's from the data fix changing the customer.xml, from what I can tell by reading the thread, if you replace the original customer.xml it's good.
Tomorrow I'm gonna try this port and compare it to the one I'm on.

I didn't try it yet. I downloaded it.
I'm on x-rom now. I wanted to so I could compare them. But I get a little flash happy sometimes and just got done flashing and testing different Roms over last 2 days. Ive been experimenting with these non Sprint Roms cause I don't use Sprint. Had to take a break and get some work done though.
I really love AOSP for its not bloated and emotion runs the best to me. But I always end up missing TouchWiz features.
I might go back to dtux though. I'm one of those guys that's always tinkering.
PS. I seen the op of that ROM said he's getting ready to release another version with some fixes.

Ok so I went ahead and flashed this. Works great! Flashed it with fix I made so keyboard works and also flashed open gapps package. Did have to flash the sms fix to. Here's what I did.
Download Rom here. And sms fix here. And my Data fix attached below. Optional to download Gapps.
1. Boot recovery, wipe everything except ext sd card.
2. Then flash files in following order:
a. Rom
b. My data fix
c. Sms fix
d. Gapps package (optional)
3. Reboot. It takes a while.
Enjoy!

ROM for kindle fire non-otter-x

I know that I'm pretty late to the party here but I decided to pull out my old fire that I haven't used in god only knows how long and wanted to see if I could make it into something actually useful. I have already rooted it and have firefirefire and twrp installed but I cannot find a non otter-x rom to download and install. Does anyone know if there are any still around? All the links I've tried in the index thread appear to be dead.
Thanks

You are the man shadow! Btw, thanks, your videos are the only reason I got as far as I did. They were super helpful.
If I could ask one more favor, is there a particular build I should use from the list? Worse comes to worse, I'll try a couple and if I don't like them or they don't work I'll just restore back.
Also, do you know if the gapps are included in the builds?

Well, I saw your reply about 5 minutes too late and I installed the otter-x twrp...
So after probably coming super close to bricking the fire and going in completely the wrong order, I somehow managed to get the otter-x bootloader, cm11 otter-x rom and gapps installed and the thing actually works! It seems to be a bit slow but I guess that's because it's a 10 year old tablet...
Anyway, thanks for all your help. All of your posts and videos are the only reason I was able to give this old fire a new life. I really appreciate all you've done.

Got fed up with how slow and laggy cm11 was so I switched over to slimkat and basically the same result. Did I do something wrong or is this normal? Is there any way to improve the speed and functionality because as it is right now, I can't really use it for anything.
Thanks
