I did try to search but can't find the answer. I am about to root my new replacement TB. My old phone was rooted and running the stock rom from the original rooting thread. So my question is in the last flash of rooting do you have to use the rom in the thread or can you go straight to bamf or whatever? Thanks
Once your rooted you can go to any Rom you want. Some want you to use a certain radio though.
ROM
Im using Eaton ROM 1.5.3 with MR2.5 radio...check it out it is a great build...

I rooted my Hero the other week and I've played around with some 2.1 Roms from Villain, however due to the battery issues, I think I need to go back to a stock 1.6 ROM, but would like to keep the phone rooted (my battery dies in under a day!)
Is there a way of doing this, without having to re-root the phone afterwards?
I've browsed around here and the modaco forums, but can't find an answer.
thanks
dont think there really is a way...but you could op to go for one of the custom roms based of the stock 1.5 or 1.6 roms...i think modaco's 3.x is a 1.6 rom based of the htc hero...supposedly very stable and works just as well

Get your phone to stock while preserving root access
rooted STOCK roms:

Get your phone to stock while preserving root access, dont flash the shipping roms if you like root
SRY for double post
cheers for the link

Hey XDA,
I have been a lurker for a while now and absolutely LOVE this place. I originally found it because the NOOK was my first android device and that forum was more than helpful. Recently I bought a Thunderbolt and decided I needed to root for various reasons including Netflix, Roms, etc...
After following the root instructions found here and the video from nat3mil on youtube, I was at a place i was ok with, a Rooted TBolt that I could start personalizing. The root went and i tried to download Das BAMF from Rom Manager, keys getting an error to contact Das BAMF team and decided to instead see what else was on the ROM Manager listing, eventually coming across the google apps upgrade at the bottom of the list.....
After installing that, i now have no market, no gmail, no talk and am not sure what to do other than restore to stock and reroot. Does anyone have any adive / help that could provide? Thank you very much for your time reading this.
You don't want to download the ROM from ROM Manager. I highly suggest downloading the ROM from the OP (original post) in the bamf thread.
Oh and before you start getting pelted with rocks you probably want to ask any questions from now on in the Q&A or the General forum. Those forums pretty much exist to answer your Q's. Just a heads up.
I would say reflash your ROM. The google apps you find in ROM manager are for ROMs that don't initially come with them.
Also, don't flash through ROM manager, very bad idea.
Before you get slammed this does not belong in the development forum. Q&A forum is the correct place.
Ok back to your question. Google apps in Rom manager are listed for ASOP roms like CM Android 2.3 not the stock rooted froyo Rom on the Thunderbolt.
Download your Rom from this forum list only to be safe that what your getting is what you want. Thunderbolt development has a nice selection of roms by many developers that give you a chance to review before flashing a Rom.
So pick a Rom to download from XDA and flash from recovery. That will be the easiest way to be your Thunderbolt back to working order.

With regard to the google apps, those are not for sense roms. Essentially, they're there for CM7 since the gapps don't come prepackaged. In short, don't flash them for BAMF.

Flashed Das BAMF 1.7 and its all fixed, sorry for the nub thread and question. Still a learning experience for me regarding Android and the Forum. Thank you all.
Hey,
I have recently flashed and installed a custom CM7 rom to my Galaxy 5 but i am not happy with the results and i wish to go back to Stock 2.2- i stupidly didnt create a backup, so can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get back to stock, i am completely new to this kind of stuff so please try and keep it simple!
Thanks
ok, what method did you use to flash this rom?
You may have to use a different way to flash back to 2.2.
This post : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/samsung-galaxy-5(gt-i5500)-rom-archive/ : has all the roms for our phone, so if you scroll down, after the third black line, you will see Official Roms's.
Look under that and you will see different regions 2.2 roms.
If you need any help with the flashing, just ask here
Thanks a bunch.
I flashed my rom using Odin to install Clockworkmod v4 then installed CM7 vis Clockworkmod.
Il have a read of that thread now but im pretty new to this so i may need some help
So last night I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I’ve got a few questions regarding various things that I havn’t been able to find through searching around on the forums. If the answers are around the forums and I have missed them I apologize and hopefully you can direct me there.
1. Since I used chainfires rooting method. I’ve used Nitrality’s app to ‘backup’ my /efs and something else it backup up. Here I’m wondering if I use a custom rom such as “Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3” will the things I backed up with Nitrality app restore my original ROM and Kernel incase something hardware wise fails and I need to send it back in to claim on my warranty.
2. The second question im asking is regarding various Custom roms, if I choose to flash ;Lite’ning rom, will I be able to since it states it’s;
based on I9100XXKH3 firmware
baseband I9100XXKH3
The baseband I’m using is XWKE7, will I be able to use this rom?
3. since the version of android I have is 2.3.3 and majority of the Roms need 2.3.4 will it work correctly? If not and I have to legitly update to 2.3.4 will it successfully update since i've rooted my phone?
Hopefully you guys can help answer my questions. Thanks.
bump because I really need help :[
- Litening ROM is based on KH3 ROM, that doesn't mean you need to have a Stock KH3 ROM. So yes, you can install it.
- As I said it doesn't matter what ROM you currently have to flash a 2.3.4 ROM.
- Don't know about the Back up issue, sorry.

sorry for posting thiss but i cannot find an answer anywhere guys. Okay this might be a dumb question but my fascinate came stock with 2.1, and i have updated to 2.2 and then now running 2.3 do i have to flash it all the way back to 2.1 for roms? or is there a way i can root with my un-stock 2.3?
You don't need to root to flash roms.
The only reason you would root at this point, is ONLY if you where going to stay with the stock ROM and wanted to remove software that came pre-installed.
Flash whatever ROM you want, you can flash no matter what version you are on, 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3. Just make sure you do your homework, and learn about what you are flashing first, and if there are any other necessary steps to flash.
ooohh okay so if i root thats only if im going to 2.1 and going to stay there?
thnx alot answered a question that no one else has for me
All custom roms will come pre-rooted. So all you need to do is flash the appropriate recovery, and flash a rom. Your phone will be rooted.
