Take your pick really. I hope this helps. There are more but they are scattered. Some of these are stock based, but on a few we have there is the option to be completely stock and rooted.
I have a quick question. I am on a stock rooted 4.1.1 att sgs3. I was curious if i flashed this rom/kernal,[ROM/KERNEL][4.4.2] Quantum 3.54 & QuantumKernel 3/7, would i be able to go back to my stock rooted rom if I wanted to? Thanks in advance.
Looks like you are trying to flash a custom ROM. Don't know much about these particular ROMs you mentioned but you need to your research thoroughly on custom ROMs before flashing. You may know most Custom ROMs don't come with their own bootloaders but still have to rely on a manufacturer's bootloader to run. You should, therefore, avoid any ROM that may update your bootloader because this is the only way that you would not be able to return to your previous stock version. If the ROM simply updates the system without mucking with your bootloader, there is no reason why you may not be able to return to stock.
I had an AT&T SG3 on stock 4.1.1 and I was able to flash KitKat (4.4) based CM11 and return to stock 4.1.1 without any hitches. Finally, whilst you are still on stock 4.1.1 I would suggest you take advantage of all the flexibilities offered by this Android version especially free unlocking before you begin tinkering with firmware.
So as long as I dont update my bootloader, I should be fine on going back to stock rooted 4.1.1? Thanks for the info!!
So how do i know what roms dont mess with the bootloader?
Most ROMS do not include an aboot file. I have flashed CM11, Validus, Slim, and Cyanfox and none of these altered the bootloader.
I suggest that you find a ROM you like, unzip the file, and look at the updater script to determine which bootloaders are required to install the ROM on your phone.
Ok guys, thanks for the tips. I just didn't want to get stuck on a firmware where i could not have root anymore or go back to a stock rooted rom.
Its been so long since I installed a custom JB rom I can't see how to update to a custom 4.4.4 rom.
I've got KYRILLOSv8 and baseband rom XXMF1 and don't know the steps to take to flash a Carbon KitKat edition. I think I have to use ODIN to flash an official KitKat rom first then follow the instructions for the custom rom, is that correct?
Can I use ODIN to flash official KitKat over the custom KYRILLOSv8 or do I need to go back to official JB rom first?
Its just steps needed to go from JB custom to KK custom I'm unsure about and after a quick procedure guide so as not to end up in a mess. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
It was easier than I thought, flashed the lated JB rom in ODIN then installed custom KK rom and gapps.
Welp for some reason my stock rooted nandroid wont restore and I'm soooo p.o.'d about it. Being that im now on a custom rom, what's the quickest way to get back to the official stock rom yet still be rooted and all that jazz? Any help/input would be appreciated
