Too bad your first [Q] is in the wrong section.
Updates are included in the custom ROM, and you can always flash stock ROM back. Now get your ass to the Q&A section.

You don't need to be rooted to install Custom ROM's.
For rooting you could use this thread, easy process, I like it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
OTA updates don't work worldwide. In some countries they work.
To flash any Stock ROM, use this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
As long as you are on any Stock ROM you will be able to do update via Kies.

Hello guys, first of all, happy new year
Im searching for a great guide to unroot my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 P7510, but i can´t find a guide with a clear way to solve this or i find several guides but every guide is different, so i´m very confused what to do now.
I purchased my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P 7510 in the Netherlands, but i live in Germany and now i have to get it in the original State like i have purchased it. Im not sure which stock official rom i have to download, on samfirmware.com there are two Roms, one is dated with june and the other one with july: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p7510.htm
So which one do i need? What does csc mean ? I also saw this on the xda forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250 But he says he does not recommend it : "Pre-release TOUCHWIZ rom, not recommended!"
I rooted the tab with this method from galaxytabhacks.com : http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/
But this method seems not to work i think : http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/ Many people say that they are not getting official updates andymore or cant update to touchwizz, but touchwizz was always on my tab.
Im really afraid of bricking my tablet so i need your guys help.
What i understood is that i have to install a stock rom first of all with odin or clock word mod recovery. For me personally CWM is easier, but i have no clue which Rom to install, because the roms on samfirmware.com are .rar !
And then i have to flash to original recovery with odin? How to do that?
Also many people say that they have still the superuser app after unrooting. Whats with that?
i hope you guys can help me. thanks already for reading....
Hey I unrooted as I had to send my tablet in for repairs. I flashed my nandroid backup and then used my root access to delete super user and then unrooted and used stock android recovery to reset user data etc.
Check out this link for how to unroot.
Having a nandroid aka cwm recovery backup makes it much easier.

I used this link that you said didn't work successfully. What seems to be the problem for you?
Sent from either my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi or Motorola Atrix 4G
Thanks. But as i said on that link is only the ota rom without touwhizz and also i cant find my backuo i was sure i made one but i cant find it.
Ah this is so sick

Hey guys,
I want to install a custom ROM my GS3 but before I just want to ask some questions on how to proceed.
My phone is currently running on the SFR (French provider) firmware BUALF1 and I want to get rid of the software overlay (13 app which I can't uninstall).
So if I understand I have to flash my phone with the stock firmware XXALE9.
Then I have to root my phone (I'll follow this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701770).
Finally I can install the custom ROM of my choice.
Is that correct or did I miss something ?
Thanks !
ps: Sorry for my English.
If you like to install stock firmware then there is no need for root.
Download the stock firmware and flash it directly via odin. I'd suggest you to read Intratech thread to know all about flashing..
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
Ok thanks,
I already read Intratech thread but I just wanted to be sure everything was good since it's my first android mobile phone.
If you just want to remove the bloatware you don't need to root you can just flash the regions firmware.
But most custom ROMS do this anyway so if you are going to root and install a custom ROM their is no point in doing this. (You can anyway it will just be a waste of time) Happy Rooting
Wow ok indeed I was going to waste my time so I'm just going to install a custom ROM.
Thanks !

if you wan't to upgrade you don't need to unroot, just flash firmware trough odin (addicted to your country)
also to unroot just flash with oding (stock firmware) and wipe data/factory reset and done,
threads are everywhere in general just look around

Since this topic is started might aswell use it instead of making a new one...so my question is:
From what I've read, in order to install CM7.2 on a Galaxy S2, you also need to install a custom kernel...so if I did all that, and want revert back to my original ROM and kernel, I just flash a stock ROM from Sammobile? Or the Kernel will remain the custom one (if so, how do I change it back to the stock one)?

Nope your kernel won't be left until you flash a Rom which has no kernel, but all Samsung roms out there have kernels inside the flashable tar or zip, you ain't smart if you don't provide a kernel which is made specially for the Rom

Good day everyone
I have decided to root my S3 and flash a custom rom of android 4.4.2 on it. Now, i've flashed roms before but what i dont remember and need help with is the difference between the roms and which one is the right one for my device and the carrier i'm with.
I got my S3 from Vodafone Australia. If i remember correctly flashing a rom designed for different radio kernels (i think thats what it was) will brick the phone. is this right? if so could someone please tell me how to find the right rom?
I tried to search and find my answer in forums but couldn't find anything, so any help would be highly appreciated!

you can brick your device only when you flash a rom which is not made for your device...
first confirm that your device is gt i9300
then you can try out any rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development
just find the rom that suit you and read the instructions before installing anything..
for ex for 4.4.2 roms you have to update your recovery to the latest cwm or twrp..
When you flash do not allow the rom to update the radio, otherwise you will lose network connection. Search and read in general forum for Australian S3 discussion.
