It's not CWM, but here's an .img file. Really easy to install with moto-fastboot.
If I flash this can I apply themes to it?

More or less stock, Deodexed. You will have to reflash whatever .sbf you used to unlock the boot loader, and re-flash recovery all after install.

I haven't flashed any personally, only the mods in my signature. Haven't run into any major issues yet. Give it a shot, you can always flash a backup if it doesn't work out. Good luck!

Does anyone know where i can find the stock 3.1 no wiz file that i can flash with Odin? I know there are zips that you can flash with clockwork recovery but I am testing something and need in Odin format. Or if you can tell me how i can make one that would be great.
Thank you,

Ah, yeah...now that you say that it was in my recovery steps to get to 3.1. Anyone have an actual 3.1 ODIN file like the [OP] requested? Heck, one for the new stock TWiz would be handy also if it bubbled up.
Is there s way for me to unroot this phone without the usb port?
Any takers on this issue? Or should I run the battery dead.
I have a stock rom on it but its rooted. Everything looks stock but it has superuser in the apps menu.
Use rootexplorer to delete SU app. Then download the siyah kernel cwm flashable zip. Replace the zimage inside with a stock one. Transfer it to your phone using Bluetooth. Flash it in recovery.
Once you reboot, you should be unrooted and having a stock kernel.

can I get the zimage off my phone or is it on the net? Also do I just find superuser and delete it or is there a uninstall?

Which stock firmware were you using? The zimage is available inside the tar file. Extract it using winrar.
I have the same problem that i highlighted in the thread below

I have been looking for the Stock Rom in a ZIP format so that i can flash it via Recovery.
Can anyone guide us on how to convert the STOCK ROM to a ZIP Format?? Android 2.3.4 version for Samsung Galaxy S2. I am sure there is a way as i have seen the zip files for other phones.
PLEASE HELP!!
EDIT: Thank you Silesh. I will try this out tonight. Many thanks.

I can make one for you. But you will have to be rooted with a insecure kernel to flash it using cwm. After flashing it, you should be as good as stock.
It's not giving me a uninstall tab. It's giving me a install tab in root explorer

Long press on the Superuser.apk and delete. You may also have to delete the su binary and busybox to remove any signs of rooting.
Ok superuser is gone. Now to figure out this flash.

No buddy. What did you exactly do to your phone to get it to the present state?
Did you flash any firmware using Odin? How did you root?
Also dial *#1234# and let me know the result.
I see the zimage in the siyah kernel cwm but I' having trouble finding a stock zimage

I flashed a kernal a while back to root and then flashed right back to stock and the root stayed. Also I dialed *#1234# and nothing happened.

I am currently rooted and on Sensation ROM 1.8 using Siyah Kernel v 2.0
I would be very grateful if you can make a zip file for XXKI3 (2.3.5) or XXKH3 (2.3.4).
Thank you very much.
I can't find out what stock firmware I have. It's the stock one that came on the phone though.
Is it possible to extract the ROM from the stock firmware? In particular..
I9100PBVLP6_I9100PORALP7_ORA.zip
or has anybody already done this?

No, I want to be able to flash the ROM as you would a custom ROM from CWM
I am currently trying the dual boot function in Siyah and wanted to use the stock ROM as a primary ROM. I have cloned my primary ROM (Dragon ICS 2.4) to secondary and wanted to have the stock Orange ROM as primary.

I see. So you're asking for the Orange branded stock ROM in a CWM flashable zip file?
A would not the answer to the q be to flash stock rom via mobile Odin .

That looks interesting.....don't think it will have the ROM i'm after, however I only really needed the signal boost apk. I can live without it!
This thread you linked to will definately come in handy
Thanks
Just this mitnute rooted my GS3. I used odin and the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4. Everything we smoothly, I can see Super User on my phone, however, I cannot see Clockworkmod Recovery anywhere on my phone. Do I need to install it separately?? Thanks in advance guys :good:
CF auto root is the recommended path to root, it won't install CWM.

Then u can flash custom recoveries. U dun have to use cwm. U can use others like twrp, philz. Btw dun use the apps in play store to flash the recoveries. Google search "gt-i9300 (the custom recovery u wan)" and find it.

It's recommended you flash a custom recovery regardless if u want to flash some mods or roms. It always comes in handy and you have the option to backup the whole system and create an image file, so you'll be safe, if anything goes wrong with flashing someday or you screw your system, you can always recover it with the custom recovery. Pretty amazing

You need to flash it with ODIN on your pc. Also your custom recovery that you want to flash through ODIN needs to be a .tar file
All done, thanks. just need some decent roms. can you recommend any??

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to recommend stuff here and advertise. Just look under android development and read the comments, I'm sure you'll fine a good one. Don't forget to backup your current system first and your data. When you're done, you can test out roms not worrying much about if they work or not

Mod Edit
As ^^^meeklosh^^^ suggests:
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel posts are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.

The same as stock + root.
ROM:
http://speedy.sh/qYeq2/C5303-Generic-12.1.0.1.201-signed.zip
Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!boIBHLjR!qsnN28c9xqTMq562a2lgQ6AdZVlgL4uqJZBVU75lKGk
Kernel (for flashtool after install rom)
http://speedy.sh/rFurz/C5303-12.1.A.1.201-kernel-only.ftf
Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!zo4HxQQa!-rVewRUW0xcOz8WFxhfOnBR1RyjsIOknQlZ6sIPGDDA
STEPS:
Download the .zip file (see downloads)
Put the pre rooted firmware + SU zip into your internal SD
Flash both files and turn the phone off
Open flashtool into flashmode
Flash 201 kernel
Reboot device
Done
Than'k
Could you upload it with something else (for example https://mega.co.nz or http://d-h.st/) because I don't have a premium acount on speedy share, and I dont want to bloat my computer with their download assistant .exe file...
What kind of fw is this? Generic Europe? Generic Global?
Thanks for sharing!
could anyone confirm this one ?
Thank'd.
Btw, how do you make the kernel only ftf? I know how to make a full ftf and extract the kernel.sin from it. Then how to make the ftf from it? Or.. any other way? Thanks in advance.
any other link ?
because i dont have premium account.
thanks
Well no need for me to update my thread..... (kidding)
Nice work mate

It is a pre-requisite that customised or cooked roms need root & recovery to install...
Im still using Stock rom .245(4.1) rooted with CWM. Do i still need to install .254(4.1) and .266(4.3) before flashing this rom and kernel? thanks in advance

I don't think so. I have flashed a few cooked (current) ROMs with .254 rooted + CWM. What matters is having CWM to flash the ROM which comes in zip files...In fact, I had to downgrade to .254 in order to root + CWM to flash
so to correct my understanding
ROM in OP is pre-rooted but Kernel in OP is stock kernel without root?
Exactly what are the changes in this FW
I mean geez Sony only put -_- battery improvements, software enhancements and are really very generic changes
thanks

Did you really expect them to say "Basically the same ROM without all the stuff ups we forgot to fix prior to releasing it"?

No, At least they should've given the exact things they fixed liked the "App Installation Animation is fixed" instead of saying "Various System Improvements". It seems so general

Yes it is.
Did you change anything in the ROM apart from rooting it? There are some files missing compared to my german .201 version. I don't know if there are more files than the bloatware ones, it was just a short look into it.
anyone experience unknown baseband and wifi problem after flashing?
