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)
Alright guys... This is my situation. I'm running the old Axura 2.2 edition. I saw some screenshots of nero v3 and and read that flashing different roms isn't that hard. The last thing I need is to brick my phone. Therefore I have some questions...
1) How do I flash a different rom from my current rom? Do I have to flash back to stock???
2) What is this Voodoo thing about? I see threads about it making your phone fast but then it can also brick while flashing????
Please help!!!!

1) Its prob safest to flash back to stock. It gives you a clean slate to go on,
2) Voodoo is commonly called a lagfix, but its more then that. It converts your file sytem from the facory rfs to an ext 4 format. Check out supercurios thread in the development section for mere info. PLEASE make sure its disabled before flashing another rom.
3) Read thru the nero thread for proper flashing instructions.

ok so i need to read up on Odin on how to flash back and currently going to supercurious thread... thanks!
Safest to flash back to stock (use odin), But....... you really don't have to. The risk is it might soft brick and then you would have flash back to stock..... So flash away can't hurt. Just remember if you have a lagfix on your phone disable before flashing
I have flashed from Axura 2.2 to Nero3 to heathen, to Ginger Clone and back to Axura I never flashed back to stock....... I have had no problem.......
For the most part they are from the same leak......... so the kernels are not that different.

ODIN tutorial for you...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810130
Going back to stock is not a necessity, but advised, since some settings and fragments from a previous ROM can remain and cause issues....not always though. You can always give it a shot, disable voodoo first, then just flash Nero through CWR.
wow thank you guys soo much... you guys cleared up everything... now im comfortable!
Glad to help. Let us know how it works out.

I rooted and uploaded the TSM 1.2 rom on my gf's phone and she is having reboot problems everyday now. Sorry I'm not to familiar with the fascinate and odin, I have a evo4g where you can just flash everything in recovery... Can someone please walk me through step by step getting her back to stock? Can she just do the Newest OTA to get her back? It seems what I would want for her would be this verizon EH03 official release/update. Thanks in advance
Thanks to Droidstyles you have everything you need to know in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
For the stock rom go to the dev section and get the EH03:
Ah what the hell here ya go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349895
That way she is up to date and no need for OTAs
Enjoy!
Let me know if you have any problems
yes follow what xwhofarted said...although I updated my section 4 going back to stock with stock eh03 gingerbread, so everything is there that you will need!

You don't really need a good computer to flash back to stock, just a USB cable. The easiest way is to flash back to stock JFD 2.1 with Odin and then root your phone with update.zip B, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice then flash the ROM (twice also if going to JB 4.2). Here is a link for both flashing to stock and rooting with update.zip B http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 . If you decide to stay on 2.2 you will have to use the modified 3e recovery zip, I have never done this so can't really explain how to do it, here is the link though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423.

Try update.zip A from the first link I provided, it should root your phone. Then you can use the 3e method. I've never had to do this myself so sorry I don't have a straight answer for you.

Ok I tried that and it gave me a whole-check error. Ive tried simpleoneclick and it didnt root my phone it gave me a error. Did you root your phone? What did you use to root it? Nothing is working I searched all night long

Yes I rooted my phone with Update.zip B, it doesn't actually root but it gives you CWM and you can flash a custom ROM, they all come pre rooted. You should really flash back to stock if possible, it's very easy from stock 2.1. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with but stock 2.2 has a bunch of issues with rooting and installing CWM, this is why everyone recommends flashing to stock 2.1 (JFD)
Edit - it appears superoneclick 2.3.1 works for some people on stock Froyo (2.2). Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146645 If you get it rooted on stock 2.2 you will still have to do the 3e recovery step FYI

hey sorry for the late reply I just used samsungs skies to upgrade mine to froyo just put your phone in kies mode then plug it in run the updater and it should work fine and I got the root to work thanks for the help only problem I got now is making it boot into clockworks recovery so I can flash my room im still working on that ill post back when I can get it to work
Thanks for the reply. Sad news. I used Kies Mini to update and everything went fine until the reboot. well it didnt reboot, my phone is officially bricked. I bought a JIG to see if it would help wake it in Download but it does not. I have read that you can open the phone and do some soldering to get the phone back but it seems like too much for this phone. If you have any suggestions that would be fantastic.. Thanks again for your reply.

Anyone have a link and instructions to flash from nc5 custom rom to lollipop do I have to change kernel or modem I been reading for ever seems all links are toasted had to wipe and Odin this rom is so stable not one force close need to get my flash on guys what do I need to do I miss the galaxy s2 epic touch was nice so many roms and things to do now can't even get cm 10 . On my note no data guys I could use some help here
First off please use punctuation, it'll make it easy for people to help you. However, what I did was a Odin flash back to stock NK4 then took the OTA for OC5. Did another Odin flash to get TWRP. After that I flashed SU. Then some debloating.
Now I did see some where I think in the General section or Q&A section about flashing OC5 via custom recovery but personally haven't tried it yet.
Please excuse me I'm mobile I wanted to provide link to point you where you need to be.
Or search. Even a little. Saw a thread titled...any guesses? lol accepting bricks as donations. Jk
Thanks! Sorry been a long game time since I've posted or needded help
