Option 1. Restore CWN Backup which you should have made before going flash happy
Option 2.Flash a stock rooted rom from XDA from custom recovery
Option 3.Find the stock firmware for your region from XDA/Checkfus/Sammobile.com..connect your phone in download mode via odin..flash the firmware as pda..then root with CF-root
all you need is in/General/stickies....oh and some reading

What do you really mean? from where are you accessing and what?
Why you want extract...? for removing any specific app?
If you have a CWM back up of earlier ROM, you can use Titanium Backup Pro for individual apps installation for installing from your earlier ROM....
I just wanted to do it in case I would like to back up to original state before rooting and flashing CM7.

Sorry to say you cant backup your current ROM till you root your phone...
Use checkfus to download original firmware .

If you use CWM you do not back up original as it has cwm and root kernel ,

Ok, I have back up my phone just after root so I have possibilty to back my stock T-mobile brand firmware but with root.
hey guys I installed a stock ROM (I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar) using odin, however it being stock did not came rooted or with CWM, however I want to change it to a stock deodexed, zipaligned rom however the one I found is only CWM instalable... so where can I install CWM for this stock rom I have not found the package to install it.
I guess any generic 4.0.3 CWM will work since I just want to install the CWM to flash the new kernel ! thx

Go to the Original Android Dev section and download the CF-Root for LPQ and apply it via ODIN. You will then have CWM and be rooted.

This is how you do it
Or flash any custom kernel

Hi all.
Device: Galaxy Tab 7510 US, stock ICS, rooted with CWM 5.5.0.4 and SuperSU
If I do a factory reset via the settings menu, what will the result be?
Will I be back to like new, out of the box condition?
Thanks.
You'll need to flash the stock recovery also.

If I don't flash stock recovery, does that mean I'd be back to like new, but would still
be rooted with CWM and SuperSU intact?
Another question: Am I correct that if I flash the stock ICS update on my rooted tab, it would
no longer be rooted?
Thanks.

Thank you,
hi everybody!
I need an help. Sorry for my bad english, I'm only 16 and I'm Italian.
I have an Xperia Mini, it's my first android phone, so I'm not very good at android modding! I downgraded it from ICS (Official) to Gingerbread (4.0.2.A.0.42 build) and I rooted it. Then I installed ClockWorkMod recovery. I don't have an unlocked bootloader, but I want to flash a custom ROM based on gingerbread. If I flash it, can I go back to stock rom with CWM's restore function? And If I can't, can I use flashtool to flash it (I have the .ftf file that I flashed for downgrading)?
Thanks very much.
Welcome to our forum
You can flash a gingerbread custom rom for locked bootloader with cwm, but be sure it is for locked bootloader!
If you take a backup in cwm, with backup/restore -> backup before you install the custom rom, you can restore this backup to go back to stock. Flashing the stock ftf will also work, you have to decide if you want to restore or flash, but if you take the backup in cwm it will backup the whole firmware with all apps etc :good:
Thanks! :good:
But do I need to flash a custom kernel? Or can I keep the stock kernel?

For locked bootloader custom roms it's the stock kernel :good:
For unlocked bootloader roms you need to flash a custom kernel, but this is only possible on unlocked bootloader

Normally it should work, but the problem is there's not specified if it is for locked or unlocked bootloader. It's stock based so it could work on locked, but it is recommend to flash a kernel. You could try it, but it could be you get a brick
When it's bricked, (mostly) you can't boot in recovery so you have to flash the stock rom with flashtool
Another little advice: If you install an ics custom rom on a gingerbread phone it could end in a brick. I had this when I was on locked bootloader, so I updated to ics (while keeping root, how to do this is in my rooting guide) and installed it again.
You can try an ics custom rom on your phone running gingerbread, just install it. But if it won't boot, flash the stock gingerbread rom and update it with root to ics
Ok. But before installing a rom, I have to do a full wipe, and wiping all will delete the CWM recovery?
I think I'll first upgrade to ICS officially. Can I use pc companion? or I have to flash the .ftf file of the stock 4.0.4 firmware with flashtool?

Read the instructions in the thread, generally you have to yes as it avoids any conflicts.

1.) make nandroid backup
2.) factory reset/wipe data
3.) wipe cache/partition
4.) format system
5.) wipe dalvik cache and battery stats.
6.) flash ROM
7.) flash supersu fix, there are lots of links out there just incase you have problems with root. this will solve your problem if u have locked BL
8.) if you lose CWM, you can use led deletes x-recovery tool to install cwm after you boot your rom
BUT TAKE NOTE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS YOU MUST DO IN "SOME" Custom ROMS like Hasa(flashing lockscreen after 1st boot)
MAKE SURE TO READ THE THREAD's INSTRUCTIONS FIRST
Ok i read all the guides...now I'll update to ics and root it. Then I'll install a custom rom.
