hello,
I believe that this is a pertinent issue which most of us will be interested in. i have seen many ppl having issues trying to flash back to the original rom. What should we do if we need to flash back to the original rom for warranty purposes? Should we just run the official rom file from HTC? or is there some way to uninstall SPL first?
hence, i hope that the pros in XDA willl be able to come up with a step by step tutorial for these people!
I am not a pro myself so i would not be able to come up with a specific step by step tutorial.

Heloo..Everyone!
been reading some of the threads on how to root, install ROM and backed-up this phone...
but can anybody please provide direct walkthroughs for this specific version and model...
It's a bit complex for so many noobs out there...
Having a hard time to go through the steps...I'm confused if:
1) I'd go for back-up first before I downgrade my FW to V10b (which is the next best FW available for downgrade)
2)I'd need to downgrade first then the rest....
3) I'd need to ROOT first before anything else...
Please help!..I really need some step-by-step walkthrough guide for this...
I'm kindda scared bricking this BABY!
Mga pinoys dyan...baka may makaktulong?! salamat! (Thank you!)
If you ask me, I'd go with the root first part. I'm not sure if there's a one click rooting method for 2.2.1.
I wouldn' really recommend downgrading since I've been reading stuff about P500s getting bricked by KDZ (but im not saying its not reliable) or even LG's own tools. But yes, those tools DO work.
So the summary of this post is to root from 2.2.1, get the custom recovery, then install your favorite rom
EDIT: Do a nandroid backup as soon as you get the custom recovery.
Sorry if I'm double posting, but I have to stress this out.
You have to downgrade to 2.2 Then root
Wow, this is really getting complicated...
I'm really sorry...but does NANDROID differs from custom recovery? I mean are they different programs with different task?...
My head hurts...too many info... (LOL )
but seriously....please enlighten me
It's not really complicated. It's just that I have this fear of using KDZ Updater. I have never tried it, and never will xD But I think in this case, I think you might need to.

The custom recovery is where you:
- make nandroid backups
- wipe stuff
- flash stuff (to install roms, kernels, stuff)
- do bunch of other stuff
Check these threads:

I'll try to look into it....and goodluck to me as well
tried to root and flash rom on vibrant but i am now completely lost ! can someone help me restoring it back ?
im currently on voodoo lagfix not really familiar with this, i own a mytouch 4g and rootong it was way easier
Vibrant is probably one of the easiest Android devices to root and develop. You've seen nothing yet
Anyway, use this to root and go back to stock. Doesn't get any simpler really.
EDIT: More about rooting and developing here. Step by step guide.
why did u open another thread? u could of had ur question answered in ur original im in trouble thread....
Hi ive tried to do alot of research as to how to flash roms and so im not getting a clear image from anyone thats posting things. Again im new to galaxy s2 got it bout 2 days ago and id like to be a flash junkie again from my x10 thaats how i was what i want to find out from anyone that can assist me and explain step by step how to flash roms on my device. my sgs2 is from bell and its kg2 with 2.3.3 and i see on forums of 2.3.5. so id like to know if im able to flash any roms on my phone and how to flash and things it doesn't seem straight foward as how xperia x10 was lol sorry for being a noob. once i get my answers go ahead mods or admins to closing my thread. thank you
You can check out this thread for a step by step guide for installing 2.3.5. You can also find all the firmware's leaked/official that you can flash here. The only thing I would advice is for you to read up as much as you can and familiarize yourself with Odin, if you are not already. Also when flashing roms it's safest if you don't include the .pit file. If you ever want to flash back to the stock bell rom, you can find it here. Good luck and happy flashing
Dear XDA-members,
I am a noob atrix 4g user and I have much questions. I think answers will be useful for all newbies.
1)How can I update my atrix 4g ( now Android 2.2.2 and unlocked bootloader) to latest version?
2)Can I use over air update just from settings to update or not?
3)Are there any other safe ways to upgrade or flash a custom ROM?
4)Are there any guides for noobs?
5)What I should never do if I don't want to get bricked?
6)I am interested in any information about atrix 4g, Android , hardware and etc.

1 & 2. You could probably update by going in settings but I'm not sure if its safe to. Ask someone who knows or you'll brick your device
3. I use clockworkmod recovery and its pretty safe as long as you follow dev instructions
4. Check this thread out its for noob atrix users. It has all the information you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
5. If you don't follow instructions
6. Again check noob guide and use search in xda to find more stuff
