well after you flash a custom rom you can ALWAYS flash a stock rom over it with ODIN .......and you can also flash the stock recovery so when u take it for repairs those guys wont know if u had rooted or flashed a custom rom
note: the stock recovery is for GT S5830 ONLY not its variants like i, m , t , b

Yup perfect...... He can also install CWM and take backup of Stock and flash custom.... If he don't want to use odin!
In case of repairs, he can restore that backup an flash stock recovery zip...

Odin is easier and faster. But an easier way if u don't have a PC available .!

I may be wrong on that point, but I think reverting to stock using Cwm is not exactly the same as with odin. Doesn't odin also flash the original recovery, instead of cwm? In that case, if you have to flash back to stock in order to send your device for repair, maybe the safer would be to flash with Odin.

It installs the same firmware, as the cwm backup is of the same firmware . Just the diff is that the backup is rooted .

Ok. So, do you agree with this summary?
* to revert simply to the rooted stock rom, use Cwm.
* if you have to send your phone to repair and don't want to void your warranty, flash the original "not rooted" firmware with Odin.

#1 not so correct......when u flash a custom rom like cm7 ur phones file system becomes ext4 wheras stock roms require rfs file system so you CANNOT restore your stock rom backup over a custom rom with cwm .......unless your custom rom has rfs file system(which custom roms normally dont have)..

Hi ,
I have a galaxy sII i9100g And i Flashed a kernel i went into cwm and Backed up the stock rom So if i flash a rom can i restore the stock rom's Backup ik i can do it with custom roms i dont know if i can with Custom ROms so yeah Please Andser
you can backup/restore both stock/ custom roms, the default will restore the whole backup replcaing the existing one, you can make advanced restore to restore specific backup.
well i restore many times if iam not happy wiv the custum rom so yes u can restore back but hav a proper backup and don wipe the whole phone as the backup goes off sometimes.

Yea you can restore your stock rom any time with Cwm recovery. As long as you have cwm recovery in your new custom rom you can acess your backups. So be sure you flash cwm recovery on your custom rom btw most of rom's come with cwm so you don't have to worry if not you can flash cwm recovery from odin too. Just search on google about cwm touch
Hope it helped you.
Thanks me i my words are helpfull.
Thanks You All cuz im not happy with this rom i wanted to go back..thanks again

As far as my expereriance, after restoring a ROM form your backup it is always a good idea to wipe Cache and dalvik cache befor rebooting. (not the factory reset..that will wipe your applications this you do before restoring only)
how will you restore to stock via CWM if CWM is via a rooted kernel .
It will be a non stock kernel .

I think here everybody meant by "Stock" is the first ROM which was there in the phone..no matter its rooted with a custom kernel.....

But its not original and voids warranty if restored was my point .
Far easier to grab a download of the original rom .
OP did say stock rom and not custom rom so the answer is as always not via CWM its no longer a stock rom once rooted .

Recently , i have been watching some Cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.3 ROM video and it seems to be cool. Well my question is if i flash the Cyanogenmod ROM , can i re-flash the stock ROM that i had?
And is it safe to flash a custom rom?

Cool as in not overheating ???
a wipe and flash of stock rom will remove custom rom .
Root and custom roms void warranty and have a slight risk of bricking the phone .
But are usually recoverable .
You need to read the faqs and guides and understand the CM9 instuctions first .

to flash cynogen rom first u have 2 root ur phone please find the thread in original devlopment section regarding the same
u can reflash ur stock rom by dwnld the releavant .tar file adn flash the same thru odin
You can re-flash the stock rom, but just be sure to know which one is your stock rom. Go to settings, about phone and record the info there to be safe. Also back up your current rom using CWM.
There are always some risk in flashing a rom. Some people dont read instructions and cause problems on their phone, some people flash a rom not built for their phone (i9100 VS i9100G), etc.
Yeah i have rooted my device with cf-root. Thanks guys , i'll read some guides about cyanogenmod and flash it.
If your are currently on GB stock rom, Cyanogenmod developer recommends to install ICS bootloaded first,
You should be able to reflash your Stock ROM veriosn from ODIN, as well as custom roms from CWM...
What is bootload? o.o
My current firmware is ICS LP7

No they say to have below some specific ics boot loader, no mention of upgrading your gb boot loader, unless they changed it.
Plus I yet to had any issues with the latest ics or gb bootloaders..

I think he meant boot loader.
But since you already have ICS, you won't need it. Just take the latest CM9 nightly (or ROM based off it), and flash (you'll have to wipe cache data and dalvik too eventually). Make sure you make a full backup of your current stock ROM through CWM as well.

I refer this guide actually : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841817&postcount=1
I dont know its outdated,
as others are sharing their experiance that you could flash CM9 straight away from your CWM since you are already on LP7 with ICS Bootloader.....
I don't get it... What is a bootloader?. I mean when i flashed with ICS LP7 i didn't put a file on bootloader. I just loaded the PDA .tar file and flashed it..
Soo that means that i have to reflash the stock rom with bootloader?

I dont know the ICS package you flashed had an ICS Bootloader already...
I just gave you the link for Original CM9 developers guide...
Just wait for others recommendation who have already flsahed CM9 from CWM....
Hmm thanks . But i have read in the guide that i can flash it with odin , do i still need the bootloader?
after i flashed a kernel
i couldn't get back into the android system to undo the flash

Go to recovery mode and use Odin and get original kernel from samsung stock rom and flash it

You may have flashed a wrong kernel. For example, you are on ICS and you flashed a JB kernel.. flash the right kernel.

Hey all.
After reading about the brickbug and failing the eMMC test, im a little confused as to the safest way to root and install a custom rom.
I am currently runnning ICS 4.0.3 with I9100TDULPB kernel on an aussie vodafone branded device.
Do i simply use odin to flash a stock samsung JB ROM, then flash Philz or Siyah JB kernel for root+cwm, then custom rom install via cwm?
I would also like to retain the option of flashing my carrier stock image incase of warranty purposes.
Cheers

Exactly !
PD: Remember to follow the installation instructions on the rom thread, otherwise u'll end in nasty bootloops
Thanks for the quick reply
So this will ultimately allow me to odin flash back to the stock ICS Vodafone Branded ROM later down the track?
Cheers.

Hello everyone, greeting from Turkey!
First of all im a newbie for android rooting and romming etc. I ve always used stock roms since ive got this phone. Now Im running a I9100 (int.) with stock Turkish 4.1.2 (XXLS8) on it and i ve rooted it via superuser.zip with my stock recovery.
What i want to do is to install CWM and want to flash a RELIABLE and Long Battery life rom. Are there anyways for me to install a CWM without using odin (via stock recovery). And can you please suggest me a good rom for daily usage. (i want to use vanilla android btw [just like nexus]).
Thank you for your helps.
I don't know much about roms/kernels for the international version, but you will need to flash a stock kernel with cwm and then just choose a rom from your development thread and follow the instructions, don't forget making backups and reading a lot, you can start from flashing cyanogenmod.

As i said i dont know about international version kernels, but it should have a tag like "stock kernel" or something like that if its for stock, just install it and you will have cwm, if its not stock it wont be installed anyway.
