No, you do not have to go back to stock. Just boot into your custom recovery, wipe data/cache, & install your new rom of choice.

This should go in the Question section.
But to answer your question, no you do not have to go back to stock. You do however need to do the wipes recommended (wipe data/factory reset, cache/dalvik).
Chocula beat me to it
Just to save you the headache for the future. I would definitely recommend reading up more about this before actually doing anything.

You'll need to root your phone to be able to flash custom ROMs via Recovery, you can also install kernel such as Perseus or Siyah which allows you to overclock

Does anyone have a ROM or Nandroid backup of a stock TW ROM?
I lost mine in an SD crash.
Thanks in advance.
Why not just download the odin download that imnuts posted in the android dev section? It's stock 4.1.1

I should have said a "Stock rooted TW ROM"
And I'll look at that thanks.
It would be better to just flash back to stock and get it that way. Everyones phone is different and it would definitely be a bad idea to flash someone elses nandroid. I still have my TW backup for my Note 2, but on my GS3 when I lost it it didnt really matter. If I had issues it was easy to use odin to flash back to stock and then use Tibu to reinstall my apps.

My apologies. I've been active on 3 or 4 forums at once lately and made a mistake, thank you very much for correcting it for me. :good:
Flash the stock package and then root it? Since it is the older pre-exploit patch firmware, you could even use one of the exynos abuse root methods.

and bingo was his name o...
I bought this a while ago, so I flashed the latest recovery for the Note 2 on CWM, but when I go into recovery, it still goes into the stock recovery. Not sure why. Phone is rooted but the bootloader is not unlocked. Any help would be appreciated, as I've tried just about everything.
You have to be unlocked to install any custom recovery. Please read.
You are lucky you didn't brick.

before you go any farther read the stickies, the read them again, then read them again, maybe even one more time, then flash!

You got lucky my friend, from everything on here twrp works best with this phone.. but only after you unlock

Fairly new to this. Is going from a touchwiz rom (with perseus) kernal as easy as just going into twrp and wiping cache and installing the new cm10 rom? I am looking at liquid smooth.
No, you will need to back up everything of importance and completely wipe your data. You can try your way, but more than likely you will see some errors.

yep you need to wipe data...there is a guide in the dev section that touches up on this.
Thanks for the replies. I went from a charge to the note and well thats was like re-enventing the wheel. No one click on the charge. Always haveing to swap roms with kernels.

Hey guys,
Before anyone rushes into flaming, I just want to note that I've been a member here long enough to know how to search the threads before asking a question that has already been answered. This is the reason for the title. Anywho, here is my situation. I got my hands on a brand new S4, used it stock for a bit, then decided to root it (couldn't help myself.)
Post rooting, everything went great. The ROM (JellyBeans) was running smooth, life was peachy, until I decided to let my flashing addiction get the best of me and I decided to try a new ROM (no offense beanstown, just trying something new.) Anyways, I went into recovery, flashed the new ROM, of course wiping the device 4 times, as has become my habit. Went to turn it on, and the "Custom" screen pops up, then the phone just turns off.
I tried using Odin to return it to stock, but unless I'm using the wrong file, I'm getting the same result. Odin seemingly runs fine, but still no booting. Any ideas? The file I'm using with Odin is VRUAMDK_NoWipe. If there is a different one I should be using, please be kind enough to include a link for me. Thank you.
Just flash the full odin back to stock the version that is still rootable. That should do the trick some times not wiping is the issue.

I mentioned in my original post that I had attempted to use Odin to restore it back to stock. At this point, it doesn't really matter to me whether I can root or not, I'd just like it to turn back on. Shoot, I'd be happy with a boot loop right about now.

The no wipe mdk Odin file has caused issues with me. There is another Odin file floating around that should get you working again, although it causes full wipe.

The actual Odin file takes forever to download, I believe the extractable file is easier to download.
EDIT: yeah download the exe ,link

reflash your verizon kernel, it will boot, you really didn't need to do odin, guess that is every ones quick fix. and if you are doing odin, after it flashes get into recovery and do a factory reset.
