Hey all,
Been running ROMs on my Hero for a while now but I'd like to give the stock 2.1 a try and possibly stick with it until CM6 is stable. I know I can install the RUU but I don't really want to lose my recovery partition, I had to use the gold card method which was a pain in the ass.
I don't need root, I'd actually prefer to get a non-rooted completely default factory ROM if possible. How would I go about doing that or do I need to install the RUU and re-root it later if I want to? I've seen some "stock" ROMs floating around on the dev forum but all have been rooted and most seem to be running custom kernels too.
Any info or a link would be appreciated if I can keep my recovery part. Cheers
Villain Team has posted the GSM roms. There's pure stock and rooted stock.

You mean like the one in the dev forum that says [Guide] unrooting your Rezound?

are you running leak ics rom or ics custom rom?
i came back to stock from senseless ics.
what i did was
first, went back to stock rooted by flashing stock kernel and stock rooted rom.
then flashed stock recovery then re-locked the bootloader
then finally flashed ruu.zip from fastboot (1.02.605.6).
stock kernel: team bamf's unsecured stock
stock rooted rom: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=55
stock recovery: http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG
re-lock bootloader: fastboot oem lock
ruu.zip: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=38
or ruu.exe: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=37
I currently have the CleanRom ICSE 2.3, and would like to go back to the rooted stock rom, will this guide work for me...
thanks guys... im not re locking bootloader since what i really wanted was getting back to gb from ics.. and that guide up here worked... thanks
im running a gb rom now it boots and all work good but i cant still upgrade kernels.. i did everything with the exception of locking bootloader.. when trying to upgrade kernel keeps telling me main version is older?
UPDATE
the only way i can upgrade kernels is by pushing them using adb ..at least it works that way

not sure, but i doubt it will work
since mainver has been updated.
u can still try though.
if it doesn't work, u just need to re-flash
the kernel and the rom i think.
Has anyone tried installing the ICS 3.6 leak successfully while on a custom ROM with 4EXT?
I thought I saw someone mentioned that you don't need to go back to stock. I understand that I have to re-lock bootloader before installing.
I'm currently S-ON, Unlocked, Rooted, Revolution HD 1.2.0 ROM, 4EXT.
LOL. I'm going to answer my own question...
Confirmed! Successfully installed ICS 3.6 from custom ROM with 4EXT.
Is it possible to make a pre rooted ICS ROM?
What files a need and their places?
I have a XMP, i tryed rooting by flashing the 4.0.3 kernel but the device just bootloop, then,
i tryed by flashing GB...58 then rooting and then upgrading to ICS and IT Worked, but by this method the battery seens to drain faster :S... i dont know!!
So tryed lots of things to fix but... nothn!! so thats why i want to make a pre rooted ROM.

Dude your signature says locked bootloader, it's normal it bootloops if you tried flashing kernel like this...

I tried to see a way to make a FlashTool installable pre-rooted rom, but seems like there's no way
As of now, i'm trying to make a pre-rooted custom rom for LWW, and Android Kitchen allows the creation of one. This, of course, will be a .zip file which has to be installed from CWM, so i'll still need to do all the steps you did to get CWM, so, as far as i know, we're stuck into rooting the long way

He flashed stock kernels... there's no problem with that even on locked bootloaders.

How could he try rooting using stock kernel since that's what he says he tried to achieve?

Come on guys,
i dont want be blamed because of any war in italy
please please :highfive:
From history you should know that Italians never start wars, we always wait for others to start, jump in after a while so we know which side has most chances of winning and eventually switch sides at the end

I'm on my way to create a clean ics rom PRE-ROOTED, i just don't have enough time, if you would like to give me a hand i will apreciate that.
In the mean time just root your phone the long way, update to 4.0.4 an then install CWM Recovery and finally install this ROM, is the one i'm using right now and run really smooth, and it's pre rooted.
If you need help with any of those steps pm me.
I have a rooted XT912 in ICS 4.0.4. I want to install CM10. Do I need to be on Stock Gingerbread in order to install the ROM? Because I just softbricked my phone when trying to install it... haha. If so, How can I downgrade from ICS 4.0.4 to Stock Gingerbread? Thanks a lot.
