My nexus is rooted with 4.2.1 stock firmware and have CWM recovery.
I want to flash purity 3.1 rom.
Do I need to deodex first or just flash the zip file?
Just backup then flash
Don't forget to wipe.
Hello. I currently have omega rom installed with cwm. I want to flash a stock rom to see if I can enable HD voice on that.
My question is: can I install a stock rom on a custom recovery? Or do I have to revert to the original stock recovery
You need to flash stock rom via odin. Recovery has no role here.

Ok.so there will be no issues with cwm installed? But the cwm will remain after the flash of the stock rom? I want to get back on omega rom after testing.
Thank you.
No.
Cwm would be deleted which can be reinstalled.

Hello,
I used clockwordmod to backup my ROM
my question is, if I upgraded to Android 4.3, would it be possible to downgrade to my original stock ROM (4.1.2) using the restore mode in CWM?
thanks
Anyone know of an app or a way?
You could install a custom recovery and create a backup of the entire ROM from the custom recovery or did you just want the stock kernel?
I want to be able to be able to revert back to the stock kernel easily after switching to another without having to reflash kitkat with Odin.
Will you be trying a custom rom? I ask because stock kernels tend to only work with Samsung-based roms. Most custom roms are based on a cm11 or aosp kernel.
ROM Toolbox Pro can backup your kernel. Not sure if the free version will though. You can check

1. Open ROM Toolbox
2. Choose ROM Installer
3. Swipe right
4. Choose Backup & Restore
5. Backup Kernel is 3rd choice.
6. Note backup location so you'll know where it is

Or, if u flash a custom kernel and don't like it and want to revert to the stock kernel easliy, just dirty flash the Rom again, no wiping needed...
I ended up flashing CM11 and I made a complete backup before I flashed.
Thanks for the help guys

Hi! How can I revert back to stock kernel provided by the custom rom? Will I need to restore the backup (boot partition) in twrp? Or do I need to dirty flash the custom rom I'm in? I'm curious and new to this kind of things. Thank you.
