I have Miri's ROM installed right now. I want to change over to a new ROM. Is it best (or is it a must) to first flash the stock ROM, then go to a new ROM? Or can I just go from, for example, Miri's ROM right to say Energy ROM?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Yeah, just flash the other ROM directly, without flashing the stock first.

Thanks buddy
Sir it's better to reinstall stock rom when you will install a new cooked rom after a cooked rom.
And dowing a task 29 is even better.
take fore that a look on the rom thread.

So I have just Flashed HARDSPL, RADIO and a custom ROM.
I'm about to install Android now.
My question is, is it necessary to have a custom ROM to have Android?
Or can I have stock ROM and Android?

Yes.... and no.
Actually, "it depends" is the best answer. I use stock ROM (had to flash my Radio to higher than 2.08 obviously). I have no problems with android. A quick search around the android forums will show you that many people have problems with android unless they flash a custom ROM.
So, it depends... If you are lucky it will work fine on stock ROM. If not, you'll need to flash one of the recommended custom ones.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I guess I'll stick with the custom ROM for now then, although I do miss my stock one already lol.
Just for future references, Do I have to uninstall my custom ROM and flash Stock ROM the same way I have done Custom ROM?
I believe the process is slightly different and may involve a flash through the SD card. Although I've never really looked into it myself.
Check out THIS thread. It has some more info on how to flash back to stock. Or THIS one if you are tmous.
Thank you ever so much, I figure I will try it with stock ROM first, see if that works.
I'm guessing it doesn't matter which stock ROM I download from the none TMOUS thread link?
Actually, I remember reading somewhere that it very much matters what stock ROM you use. (I think) someone said they bricked their phone using the wrong one. However, I do read a lot of posts and I may be remembering incorrectly....
Either way, you should ask around or scan through that thread to be sure.
Right ok, Trying to find a tutorial now on how to determine which one I will need.
Thank you for your help.
I remember my stock ROM being 1.66 something.
So should I download that one?
Someone wants to buy my gf's phone but it has clockwork installed with a custom rom. Is there a way to install the original 2.2 rom without the long procedure? Is there a very stable 2.2 clockwork rom with very small modifications?
Thanks

You can install original (rooted) stock 2.3.3 ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862
I was looking at that but the replies were somewhat negative... I'll give it a try! Thanks

Shrug. You wanted stock with very little modifications. The only mods there are root + a2sd support. (Oh, and removed FB+Twitter junk).
(There is a nandroid backup of 2.2.x posted somewhere here, but I cannot find it and IMHO if you want stock ROM, it is pointless to flash 2.2.x now).
Hi there,
Today I received my Samsung Galaxy S2 and now I'm trying to find some information about custom roms for my phone. After searching through all sticky's here I cannot find any info about where to start with custom roms.
My previous phone was a HTC HD2. I've installed android onto my phone using MAGLDR and Clockworkmod, which worked great. The thing I liked the most was that in case I screwed up a installation I could alway flash the original Windows Mobile ROM back, making my phone almost stock again(still will have to remove HSPL then).
I also helped a friend install custom roms on his HTC Desire HD, but the thing I notest on that phone was that you could never go back to the original android installation. I hope this is different with my new phone.
So these are my questions:
- Where can I find some information about flashing a new ROM to my phone?
- And is there a way to revert back to the original ROM after using a custom ROM?
Grtz Willem
First read this:

First root your device.
Then:
Flash a rom which you can find in the Development section. Every big rom has their installation procedure explained. (VillainRom, Cognition.. dunno)

You can just flash back the original stock rom, but there's a hidden counter that counts how many times you flashed new software. You need a little tool called a 'usb-jig' to completely undo the number the counter is on. This way you'll retain your warranty.

How?
Clockworkmod? If so, where can I find the ROM?

Nope, with Odin. You can find the Programm and the rom together with instructions on www samfirmware com
Thanks everyone, I'm downloading the original rom now, then will try my first custom rom for the SGS2 (VillainROM 3.0.0)

Hi,
I want to go from CM7.2 back to a rooted stock rom.
I tried to install two different roms via recovery modus and install zip from sd-card.
But it failed. (showed something like "... is no longer valid")
So i made a journey through google during the last three days.
But I didn't found a page where it is clearly step by step explained.
Seems to be very tricky with the HTC Legend.
Samsung Note was much easier.
I don't want to make something wrong, can some help me with this?
Regards
Michael
You can try a old version of CWM., i think v2.5.0.7 could work.
Hi,
thanks for this.
One Question before I'm going to try it.
If it works and i have a rooted Stock Rom afterwards, can I go back easily to CM7.2 by restoring it with the ROM Manager and the Backup/restore funktion?
Needless to say that I've made a backup before.
regards
Michael

Hi,
when the Stock Rom is really rooted, then you can go back to CM7.2 or any oher rom. Try B0.8.4 from BlaY0 , it is very stable and has a working GPS.
Hi,
thanks again, because it worked. I just installed a rooted Stock Rom (3.14.161.1 r1 - Stock Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend with Online Kitchen)
with the Rom Manager after I've changed to CWM 2.5.0.7.
So, now I can try out some Roms.
Pretty perfect.
Thx
Regards
Michael
