[HELP] Uninstalling cyanogenmod9 (TOTALY NOOB)

Hi all, at first I hope, dear Admins, that you won't delete my thread. (Sry if I break some rules, but I just messed up with my telephone and need very much for someone's help)
So I installed cyanogenmod9 (Android version 4.0.4;cyanogen 9-20120708-UNOFFICIAL-gio) and I didn't like that(maybe cuz im too stucked into original android version) and wanted to uninstall it SOMEHOW. Tried in reboot menu to wipe data, and etc. But still it won't help me. When I fix that and I will get answer, you can lock the thread. Thx.

Go into this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1407
Pick a ROM with Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) and install it like you installed CM9 before (in Recovery).
I recommend this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654317
If you want to install Stock ROM you have to use Odin.

Odin is a tool for flashing your gio that samsung officially uses.

Type into google: "Galaxy Gio Flash Stock ROM with Odin"
But I recommend you that install enhanced 2.3.6, because it's much smoother than stock rom and it's 2.3.x too.

[Q] A bit of help :D

Hi guys
Well, I'm buying a new Galaxy Note 8.0 next week or the other, and after seeing such as root and recovery, it seemed pretty easy to root and install TWRP with the toolkit
But after doing anything I thought it would be useful if some of you can answer me some questions
Well, first of all I'm not a noob do I know what am I doing ^-^
First of all, when I was seeing the unofficial CM10.2 thread, I saw that I have to unlock the boot loader to flash it, but I couldn't find any thread of how to do it so, if you could tell me
And finally, I wanted to know what's the best ROM for gaming... I will use a lot the tablet with my sister, so I need a ROM that can handle very well for playing heavy games like MC4 or dead trigger, and installing A LOT of stupid apps (sister). So I would like a ROM that has the possibility to OC
Hope you read everything don't be a ***** jajajaja
Cheers

use chainfires rooting method, and you can flash any rom you want; no bootloader unlock needed, for the 5110; if you get a different model, then I cant speak to it..

rom or wait for official?

So ive got a D851, and as most of you know, Lollipop still isnt out yet, should be out soon no doubt, but ive read that there are a lot of bugs and issues and what not with the official version of Lollipop. So my question is, would i be better off waiting for the official Lollipop or getting a L based rom?

Yes but it's only a matter of time before a fix comes out. Nothing better than running stock official firmware. Too many roms have different bugs. Unless you want try and find the one that has less.

I guess youre right. Thanks!

Either way, you're going to have bugs. Some are very well documented on any device for which Lollipop has been released.
My thought is to wait for the custom ROMs based from the D851 stock. By that time, many of the existing bugs will have been squashed or have acceptable work-arounds. You also end up with the best of both worlds, think of it as customized stock.

From what I hear, official Lollipop has a lot of bugs or rather annoying quirks, and that no had yet to find a way to unlock the bootloader, so would it be smart to wait for the official update, or root right now and get a L based rom?

I guess it really doesn't matter what you download and flash. Official lollipop has bugs and any L rom you get now has many bugs also. As for me I'm sticking with zonerom until something solid comes out.

What do u recommend I do? Wait or use a rom?

Good to know. I hadn't gotten in this forum until today. I decided to purchase the S6 because I could get it at a steal, and now is a great time to sell my S5, but I was having buyers remorse because of the lack of development.
I can't complain because I'm lazy and don't want to learn to do it myself.

Same!!

Took The Plunge
Installed Sac's ROM through Flashfire and found myself wondering why I waited. Got everything set up as I wanted without any problems. Do remember to flash the Ktoonsez kernel after the ROM.
I don't care about Samsung Pay and I doubt that I ever will, so I installed TWRP right after. This felt so good, I see other ROMs in my future especially since sac23 says an update is coming soon. I feel like it is my phone again.
I also may try out this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...ebloated-rom-samsuing-galaxy-s6-edge-t3126661
@JoeFCaputo113 you really should think about doing this.
Cheers.

Using FlashFire (which I know that you have!):
Step 1: Choose Backup if you want. Then let that do its thing.
Step 2: After back, choose Wipe and accept defaults.
Step 3: Select the two zips, ROM and Kernel.
Step 4: Let her rip!

For anyone that does (and I did) there is a fix for the deep sleep issue posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60383471&postcount=49

Can someone take the stock OE2 kernel and add this fix to it if possible?

If you are not experiencing the issue, then there is no need to flash.
If however you take the plunge and install TWRP, you will probably need this.

If you are going to flash a ROM, even via FlashFire, I believe that you will trip Knox. Same with a custom kernel. (Joe, can you ask a dev?) That said, if flashing a ROM is in your future or if you want to include this in your tutorial, then you might as well flash and use TWRP. And if you flash TWRP, you should flash the patch.
Joe, I hope to see you on the Dark Side soon...we have cookies! (And some pretty cool ROMS!)
