Yes, look in the ROM section. Or use the search button. Try my sig.

I rooted my Vibrant and then performed a ROM backup using ROM manager. My question is, if I wanted to try a different ROM, will I have any issues flashing back to stock if I need to? I want to be able to flash back to stock and still get OTAs if I want to sell the phone sometime down the road.
thanks

Well done... as I did lol a bit... (sorry for bump)
I searched, but couldn't find anything for this particular phone. I flashed an ICS rom onto my phone but I want to go back to a 2.3.6 custom rom. I just want make sure if anything special needs to be done before I simply flash a 2.3.6 rom?

Depends did you use the early UCLD3 leak? If so don't nandroid back.
If not then you can either flash like normal or restore a backup.
Device: LG P925 (Thrill 4g)
Rom: Doomed Froyo v2.0
Baseband: Stock v10e
Kernel: Stock

Hi everybody,
I'm new at this forum and in the Android world and I have a few questions about the install process of the ICS CM9 on Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 3G.
1. If I want to backup my current ROM, do I have to be rooted to use ROM Manager to backup the ROM? And do I have to be rooted to restore that backup?
2. Can I UNROOT my device later? (The device belongs to my father's work and I don't want to take any chances with the warranty things.)
3. How to install the ICS CM9? I think I have all the files I need to so, I hust need the guide.
Thx for your help!! I really hope that I will get this thing going already!
Yes, you need to be rooted in order to install cwm through recovery and then make a backup (although you don't need rom manager. In order to flash ics you have to install pershoot's recovery with odin). You can unroot later, but you have to remove the recovery as well if you want your device to be covered by warranty for sure. So flash with odin a stock rom and you're ok BUT you may loose the data.
Listen, ics installation is tested and almost fool-proof. But bear in mind that a lot of things can/may go wrong and then you'll find yourself in a mess. Since that tablet doesn't belong to you, you should better leave it be, unless of course you have your father's consent and you have explained him all the risks involved.
It wouldn't be nice to find his tab messed up!

Thx for the answers, but my stock version is not in the site, trust me i searched. My ROM version is p7500jjkj1. Can you give me a link to that?
And if I back up my current ROM through ROM Manager, will I be able to restore my device from this backup? or do I have to download the stock version?
please help me...

Try to Google it. It may come up. You can backup your device through cwm but I would also find the stock firmware if you are going to want it in the future.

OP... Why are you so hung up on ROM Manager???
Just root using the Odin method mentioned, once you've rooted and have CWM installed just do all of your backing up, restoring and flashing through it. ROM Manager is nice and all but it has its own set of issues and all. Read and learn about what you are about to do... You'll be surprised how easy it is and you'll run into alot less problems.
Please put the ROM Manager down and step away.

Hi there,
I have the galaxy s2 from about a year ago, bought it form Dubai. Anyways till now I still didn't get the jelly beans update 4.1.2 and I'm stuck with the 4.0.3. I'm starting to face some problems with my device and I think this is because bugs in the 4.0.3, the device over heats while charging or when I have my wifi or 3G on. I downloaded the "AOKP MR1 Milestone 1 ROM for Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 (Exynos)" along with "Gapps" but didn't install them yet:
The only problem is that in order to install the new rom I have to flash my device and root it and I'm not really happy with that. Is there a safe way to get the jelly beans update 4.1.2 without rooting my device. I tried the over the air update but it said no updates found, I also tried kies and still no luck. What can I do to get the new update without having to erase everything on my device.
Also can I take a backup copy of my ROM in case I format "flash" my device for any reason. I want to take a complete backup of everything on my phone including the unrooted original firmware 4.0.3 that it came with so that even if I install any other rom I can flash it and get back with my original one, is this possible.
Please help, looking forward for your repiles

I'm actually very new to xda, I've been searching for about 4 days now and currently I'm reading other similar threats on xda. But I don't really know where or what to search for. All I want to do is update my phone without flashing it, also if it's possible to take a backup copy of my original firmware please reference me where to start. Didn't mean to bother or bug anyone here, it's just that I'm very new to this
No hard feelings
You need to root to bk up what you have now mate. 4.0.4 is the brick bug firmware not 4.0.3 . Do you want to root your phone.? Do you want to put a custom rom or Samsung rom on your phone?
Just go to sammobile.com firmware page.

maybe iPhone is better for you

Thanks for your reply, how do I root my phone and after I root it what do I need to download to backup everything. I don't really prefer to have a custom rom on my device but I have no problem trying anything on at as long as I have a copy of the original firmware where I can restore it back.

Thanks I'll check it out, what do I look for so I can make sure that it's compatible with my GT-I9100 device, or are they all compatible depending on which region I choose. Currently I'm in Egypt So whats the best firmware to download
Get whatever ROM you want.
Worst case, flash a new modem.
Sent from the little guy
Lsw is the new one. Uk base but as gastonw said it dont matter just download your modem you have now so you can restore it later "apriliam3 for them". To root get a dori ics kernel and flash that either with odin "tar" or in recovery "zip with sig" put on ext sd and update in stock recovery and that will give you root and cwm recovery when you have done that go back into recovery and do a nandroid bk up there. Get titanium back up in playstore and bk up your apps with. I link my contact's with google so they restore easily.
Just see chow to flash ROM's witch odin and choose ROM from Samsung development sub forum.
Thank you all for your replies,
I managed to root my device and advised by all of you, and I made backup using the cwm that was installed automatically after I successfully rooted it. In the backup folder that was created I noticed a file called "system.ext4.tar" is this the original android version that came with the phone because as I mentioned above I want to be on the safe side and have a backup of my original OS that came with the phone in case of anything went wrong then I can restore everything including the original current android version. Second step that I want to do is to flash my phone and install the jellybeans. I found two version version 4.1.2 which I know is compatible with the phone and version 4.2.2 but I'm not really sure if it's compatible or not. So what do you guys suggest I should install on my device
looking forward for your replies

A special thanks goes to andrewwright I prefer stock but I don't have any problems trying custom since custom gives more features
If you would tell me how to do both I'll be more than happy. I think both are flashed in the same way but correct me if I'm wrong
For stock sammoblie.com.
For custom gooim playstore app. Have you rooted yet? Mr1 milestone is a good choice as is solid.

Hey guys. I just got my hands on a Verizon Note 2 this weekend and have managed to screw it up already. I am coming from the world of unlocked bootloaders with some background in Samsungs shenanigans. Anyway, I think I was on 4.4.2 which is ND7 (I honestly can't remember at this point). I I was able to root and install safestrap eventually. Then comes my stupidity, I forgot that I had to flash a touchwiz rom and flashed another rom and to add injury to insult, I flashed it in the stock slot and not the rom slot. Then I tried to restore my backup and it failed. Now what happens is I can occasionally get into the safestrap recovery and I try to flash Alliance rom and it still doesn't work. I try to boot the stock slot and it gets stuck on the verizon screen. Any help would be appreciated.
Any help? Please?
Can you bring in back to stock with Odin?
I never tried to install a new rom on any Note 2 that was over 4.1.2
