Dear all,
I would like to flash my TP to a new ROM (for the first time). I did a lot of research already but I still have 1 question.
If I flash my TP to a new ROM can I hard reset my device again to the default stock ROM?
The reason I want to know this is because I have a Dutch stock ROM. I assume most of the coocked ROMs are in English. I have no idea if it is possible to switch back to the Dutch stock ROM. And most importantly how it is done.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Keyzz

The HR will not send you back to your default stock rom, it will only give you the current ROM plain as it was when you first flashed it. To get back to stock rom simply flash your stock rom. If you dont have it, go check the wiki for it, it should be there.
There are several posts on how to switch back to a stock ROM. There is even a database of stock ROMs in the wiki. Please use the Search function next time.
Also, there is a guide on how to stock to custom ROMs and stock ROMs. All of the necessary items are stickied.

I'm thinking about trying out one of the custom ROM's but I don't want to do it until I can get a stock installation back in the event I need to RMA my phone.
Thanks!

Yes. Check the Wiki.

Do I just have to flash HSPL3? Sorry if this is a horrible question.
All I want to use my HD2 for is basic tasks and apps, also to mess around with Android.
Edit: Sorry I didn't put the [Q] in the thread title.
Hi,
As far as I'm aware when you flash a stock rom it flashes the SPL. So you would need to install your stock rom then reinstall HSPL3.
Hope this helps

Okay guys, I'm in real need of your help here, whether it's a proper answer or some sarcastic link to the correct thread.
I've been testing out roms all over, and different kernels, but now I want to revert back to stock so I can start afresh. Ideally I just want the stock rom. I'm happy running an unsigned (rooted) kernal, but I do want the stock rom.
I'm in the UK, and my phone wasn't branded with any carrier.
Someone, help!

1: get odin
2: get stock rom
3: flash using download mode.
Hi.
I have Odin, and have used it.
I have used download mode to install a rom.
What I can't find is a stock rom.
Hi,
Sorry if this sounds like an idiotic question but anyway, here it goes:
I am considering flashing a custom ROM but I see in that post that it says it requires to have a slightly different version of android and/or radio than the one I currently have (ie i have 4.0.1 and the ROM "suggests" to have 4.0.2). Does this mean that I should flash a stock ROM with the necessary "requirements" first before flashing the custom ROM that I am interested in?
Thanks.
No, if you flash a stock Rom and then a costume Rom, the costume will take over the stock. Just flash the one you want but make sure you do a back up first just in case, don't ever worry as long as you back up, you'll be okay

just flash it
Thanks for the info. This is exactly why i feel a bit confused. My understanding was that the ROM would already have the new version of Android or radio wrapped into the ROM itself.
then what is the reasoning behind the "requirement for a ROM"?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

thanks.
just FYI to all, i took the dive and flash my first custom ROM successfully. thanks for the advise.
ROM and Radio are two different things, with two different flashing processes. When you flash a custom ROM, you change the entire Android operating system, but it doesn't change your radio. If you have to flash a radio, there are quite a few methods you can find if you search. Usually if you have good battery life and signal strength, then you don't need to flash a new radio. Otherwise, you may try flashing the latest radio available for your phone.
Hi all,
This is my first post, so please dont be mad if I posted in the wrong section.
I am new to the android modifing. I recenty started installing custom roms, kernels and overclocking.
For now, its going pretty well. I just cant find something that I'm intrested in, so I decided to ask here.
Sometimes I cant find stock firmware for phones. I tried on sammobile.
Is there a way to extract factory rom and kernel from phone before I flash custom rom?
That way I can return from custom to factory rom in very quick time if i need it.
Sorry for my bad English.
All the best.
