Hi,
Was wondering...is there a stock rom thats floating around for AT&T US....im new to the rom, kernel scene...and im wondering how I get a complete backup of my device if I want to go back to the stock rom that came with the US version of the HTC one...I keep hearing about a nandroid backup..will that work...and if i backup..and go back to stock rom...do i void my warranty..also..i see a rom called the clean rom which i think would fit my needs...but there is also a kernel out there called bulletproof...is the kernel and the rom two seperate things..im confused..always thought they were one in the same..sorry for the stupid question...can i use bulletproof kernel with the clean rom? and how would i go about getting that kernel on there..if so..thanks..for your time...
Kernel and rom are different. Imagine the kernel as the engine of the car and the rom is the body. Read around the dev section for different rom features to find the one that suits your needs. Be confident in what your doing before getting flash happy so ya dont mess up yur device

There are nandroid backups you can flash in recovery that will bring you back to stock. It's always a good idea to make your own backup before flashing anything.

Before i try to install a new rom what are the advantages over stock?
Thanks chrisi
See the (rather extensive) features section in the OP of any of the fine ROMs available. I use CherryCrust with the ProDX theme (thanks, Noattach) as well as the Argos font pack ported by Whipon. I am very satisfied with the tweaks and mods that navalynt has ported and/or baked up (many thanks). It is well worth reading up and doing it right (read the directions, warnings and prerequisites 10x over before doing anything!). I hope I answered your question, as I don't really see any other way it can be interpreted. Don't forget the thanks button

+1 to the person above, each ROM thread has a features list in the first post.
If you are move comfortable with stock rom, you can sort of "create your own rom" by installing stock deodexed 2.3.4 and applying the mods you want from there (themes, custom kernels, battery % mod, tethering mod, webtop mod, sd card fix, etc.....)
Installing all of this is really easy if you have an unlocked CWM recovery.
I installed a custom rom for the first time yesterday (Aura) And im very pleased with the difference! i think you would like it!. even if theres the posibility of bricking your device its worth it.

It really comes down to how bored you are with stock? There are people that have gone down the custom route, and have gone back. It's all about personal preference.
If you are happy with stock, you may wanna stick it out and spend some time reading about the custom kernals. That way when you do eventually get bored, you'll have a much better chance of upgrading successfully.
Definitely try to "Baby steps" your phone as much as possible...

Thanks guys guess i will have to read up on each rom.. a custom rom is basicly the whole OS vs just doing a kernel upgrade? Id really love to go balls out and do the rom but we will see.. there is no way to bring back a bricked device is there? What could cause a brick besides not flashing right? I wish there was someone local that could do the rom for me lol. I guess im going to have to do some reading.
Also i rooted it using fastboot... now whats this i see with unlocking through fastboot? I need to unlock the phone before i can even think about flashing a rom?

There are 2 types of bricks; soft and hard. A hard bricked phone turns it into a paperweight. A soft bricked phone can be recovered. There is a sticky post on the developer forum that describes how to avoid hard bricking your phone.
The stock vs custom ROM issue is a truly personal preference as described above. The only way to get more comfortable with it is by reading and doing. READ FIRST!
YES, unlock the bootloader first. i soft bricked mine when i was learning how to do it.
So hello there sgs3 community!
I just received my sgs3 yesterday and wanted to know what should i do first with it?
I mean root and etc, could anyone help me with that?
It depends, are you happy with stock firmware?? Only you can decide buddy, its your phone. I rooted mine because their are a lot of good ROMs out their, each with different assets etc, but mainly because I didn't want to be limited on what I can do with my device, but if you want my opinion, I'd root and flash Tamaseks kang of CM10 naked android is always the best p.s make sure you have the international S3 (quad core) before you flash anything in this section because inevitably you will brick your device if you dont. Good luck buddy

Well I live in Lithuania and on the box says that it's quad core
I'm thinking just rooting it...
Is there any bootloaders (like HTC) i have to unlock?
The S3 comes with an unlocked bootloader out of the box but if you know what you're doing, go ahead buddy but make a backup after rooting

I have a question, when I root my s3 (CF-Root v6.4) do I need to install any other recoveries or some other programs (like triangleaway) to flash custom roms?

Triangle away isn't a recovery, its just an app that erases the flash counter in case you want to send your device to Samsung for repairs because you should know, unauthorized mods void your warranty. CF-Root has a recovery and will be installed upon flashing with Odin

The only way of switching to and from custom and stock, is to root, make a nandroid backup then flash custom firmware. The only downside is that your official firmware will always be rooted, unless you start afresh with Odin hope this helps buddy, welcome btw, good choice in switching from iPhone to S3....you won't regret it

Once you rooted your phone which also include cwm, you can backup your rom with cwm and flash other rom. If you don't like it, use cwm to restore your previous rom

Most important: back up EFS! Store it somewhere safe, because if anything goes wrong, you're going to be very happy you've got a backup

That was hardly a smart response, I was stating truth, the issue you asked about that I responded to was true, if you didn't create the partition then the error is normal.
I could give you one if you'd like, like "Go Google how to use a recovery."
If you considered what I said as being smart xda will eat you alive.

My problem is I can not install the original rom.
How many rom I tried WiFi did not work. That's why I want to install the original rom
Edit: boot.img loading.
did you find stock rom and kernal?
You can also try just flashing this in recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40665377 closer to stock 2.06 then any others out there.
Basically though what you're looking for is the ruu. I think there's a guide in development for how to ruu back to stock.

Odin is a Samsung thing, isn't it? Like I recall its use on the gs2 but never seen it used on anything non Samsung, could be wrong though.

You are right odin and odin mobile pro are designed for samsung ROM development on Android sorry about that
If you want stock, flash a stock rooted ROM. If you want true stock (no S-Off and locked, stock recovery) follow the guide Pio linked too.
Hey guys,
I just got this device and I'm loving it so far... I'm a T-Mobile customer, so I'm looking to flash a tmobile radio and Rom. The thing is I bought this from someone who used a toolkit to root it and unlock the bootloader. It's also running insert coin Rom and twrp.. I know nothing else is done besides that. This is my first non Samsung device, and Im used to the simplicity of Odin , I really dont want to screw anything up... Anyone have some advice? Thanks in advance...
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I am probably not certified to answer this question. But my suggestion is-
You are searching here ( your best bet) so maybe search youtube for how to video's on "un"rooting and going back to stock. They normally have links to downloads that you need.
what is wrong with just leaving it unlocked and rooted, just flashing a different rom?

This will get you back to near stock T-mo >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281943
your best off to stay away from a radio update unless your having a problem.
Leave the recovery as is for now till you learn more about your phone
make a backup from TWRP and store it in a safe place (other than on the phone) before you go flashing roms (just a good practice anytime)
all the popular roms in the international section will work on your phone, Android Revolution HD, TrickDroid, insertcoin ...etc, just take your time and read a lot
Thanks for the suggestions guys... So even though I'm s-on, I can still flash a different Rom?

Long story short, I hard bricked a Nexus 4 flashing a bad ROM. So now I have a new one, and I want to know if there is a way to check if a ROM is bad for my phone before I flash it. If a thread on xda says, this ROM is for HTC one, does that meadoit is only safe for THAT phone, or is anything that is JB 4.2.2 and up safe for my nexus 4? Just want to make sure before I start flashing ROMs again. Thanks.
Bro answer is a big No!!
You cannot directly flash a rom of a device on other one.
Coz every device have different hardware configurations and a rom contains different things to control hardware like bootloader and kernel that are chipset specific and using the one on other device can/will lead to a hard brick!!!
Though u can use files from different roms system partitions and try them on your device!!
Hope this helped....

Thanks man, really appreciate it.
Just search for roms specifically made for your phone, make a nandroid back-up, wipe it and than flash the rom. Normally there shouldn't be as many problems then.
Have fun!

You cant flash ROM to your device as it is made for other device . You can find many custom ROMS for your device. just google it and dont flash before reading its review.
also check MD5 checksum before you plan to flash that downloaded ROM
