Hi I've flashed my s2 with sentinel rom (basically cyanogenmod) so it's like a nexus 4 and I would quite like to flash a stock rom but not like the s2 rom like is there a way to flash an s3/s4 stock rom to my phone? :thumbup:

No. Pls don't flash a rom that's not made for your phone as you will probably brick it. Look in Android development for what you want
I double dare you to try it.
Is there a way that I can go back to my original stock rom test it out and if I don't like it go back to my flashed rom?

Hi,
Make a nandroid backup from you current rom und flash an other rom. If its not fit you can restore your backup
Maybe you have to flash the kernel that you used to make the backup before you restoring.
Basically I want jelly bean but the stock version. Currently I'm using a rom that is jelly beans but is like a nexus 4 but I want the Samsung features. Thanks

Hi,
i know, you wrote on OP sentinal rom. Just make a backup from your current rom in the recovery. And then you go to the download modus and flash a stock rom via odin. If you dont like it, flash a recovery and restore your backup.
Easy
Ok! Where can I get the stock rom from and can it be jelly bean? I know that when you buy the new s2s they have 4.1.2 installed! And how to you flash a recovery? Everything else I know.

Okay... do you flash the sentinel rom oder someone else? If you did it than you have to know what the recovery is. It the menue that comes up when you hold VolUp+Home+Power and boot. There ist an option "Backup and restore".
Here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ you can get the official stock roms, just search for I9100. To download you have to register, its free
Andi
Get your stock rom from samfirmware. Just scroll down and download the required Android version. You can get temporary recovery from recovery tools in play store or if you want permanent recovery you gotta flash a custom kernel.

If I create a full backup from the recovery menu, and then install cyanogen, will I be able to return back to the stock rom using the backup?

I would recomend getting hold of a stock rom for your phone and flashing through Odin
Where can I get the samsung galaxy s2 2.3.3 official stock rom?
quick question: does flashing roms remove all the installed apps?
Thanks alot...

You can get all firmwares from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
And yes you will loose all your installed apps
Thanks... Does these firmwires include apps from samsung?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes when you apply the original firmware the phone goes back to the way it was when you first bought it with all Samsung apps.
Thanks alot, am downloading the stock JPKG5 firmwire and kernal now.
One last question, what is the purpose of creating a backup from the recovery menu?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I personally use it to back up custom roms i like so when i try new ones that get released and i have problems with them i can always go back to the last rom i used which was stable
Ok, can't it be used to restore the stock rom back from cyanogen?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its to backup a rom as simple as that .
original rom no cannot back that up as it does not have cwm recovery .
You can restore a good working rom in a very short time instead of a clean install .
Its rom settings and apps at the point of backup .

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 and I have ICS Crumble ROM on it and it is acting up, so I wanted to know how to revert back to stock rom or any better roms to use if i cant go back to stock rom. Thank You!
If you have clockworkmod recovery or something like that (Odin3 can be used for flashing too) you can use this stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574207) to revert back to your first official ROM.
Or you can try reverting it via Kies, Samsungs software for her galaxy devices. Just connect and click (somewhere in the menu's) an option that's sounds like fabric reset. It will download the latest stock ROM for your device.
And, of course, don't forget to make a backup of at least your internal SD-card. Just in case....
Good luck!

Hi,
I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile ( I9100XWLQ2_I9100XXLQ6_I9100PROLP4_HOME.tar.md5 )
I am pretty sure this is the right one because this has already worked once.
But now my phone hangs during startup. I wait really lot (10 mins) but still it hangs, even I always see the animation of 'S'
I flashed again a custom rom now, but i want a stock rom back. How can i flash?
thanks
You must perform a factory reset from the recovery. Either do it from the custom rom, then flash stock ROM, or flash stock rom, boot into recovery and then wipe /data. Order doesn't matter.

After you flash the stock rom go back into download and flash v4 of Siyah kernel (.tar) , then boot into recovery and do wipe/factory reset.
It is not necessary to install a new kernel, just factory reset from stock recovery

I didnt say it was necessary, I just advised it since Siyah kernel is better then stock anyway for many reasons and since he's into trying new roms its much better to have custom kernel/recovery. Plus the fact that if user was to try flashing a 4.0.3 rom then wipe in stock recovery he would brick his device.
Not sure about brick, AFAIK brick occurs with 4.0.4. Anyway I would prefer more stock-ish kernel like CFroot.

If you thought that, why on earth would you advise him to wipe in stock recovery???? The rom he is trying to flash is 4.0.4
Guess I wasn't reading thoroughly .. I take mt words back.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If u r on stock 4.0.4 first change your kernel then try to factory reset.. Everything will be fine... Dont do factory reset on cmw on stock kernel...

Okay, thanks for all the replies. When I flash stock kernel, will clockworkmod be erased? I am just asking.. I know I can easily flash it back

Do you mean flash "stock rom"? Yes if you flash stock rom you will lose cwm and only hav stock recovery.
Once you have flashed your stock rom you should then immediately flash your custom kernel (Like Siyah). Once flashed reboot into recovery (cwm) and wipe data/factory reset.

When flashing a stock ROM (include kernel of course) it overwrite the exists kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
When you will flash stock rom over custom rom everything will be erased if android version is different if same then you will face problems has phone will not work properly you have to factory reset it first install different kernel use philz it will root your phone directly and installs cmw then factory reset it from cmw.
You can also reset your phone from settings but in between you will face errors this that not working etc. use 1st method your phone will not have brick bug issue.
And for giving thanks use thank button

Is it also possible to flash dorimanx after flashing stock rom?
i had rooted my galaxy note 2 (GT N7100). Flashed paranoid android custom rom.
now i have restored my stock rom backup (which i had made before flashing)
but now samsung stock apps like "readers hub", "Game hub" etc. are not working. apps say "Rooting detected" and clos.
and in settings->device status it says "modified".
so according to me the phone is not completely restored to stock rom.
can u help me out? cuz i want complete stock rom.(the original rom i got when i bought the phone.)
Thanks in advance....!!!
Maybe you had first rooted your stock ROM before making a backup. Make sure to flash a new stock image, not a backup you made previously. Look in the Galaxy Note 2 forum for more details.

Search for 'Triangle Away' by Chainfire. I'm not too acquainted with Samsung devices as I've never owned one, so I can't help you with this. But you'll find a lot of guides and everything you need.

Hi to all,
I am newbee to android. After using HTC One V for few months I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from UAE. It was running Jellybean 4.1.2 having Modem XXLS8. On a fine day for the requirement of built in call recording I rooted my phone and managed to install Omega Rom V23.
All went smooth. But next day I realised that Hindi fonts are not properly displaying and I made a big mistake to flash Omega Rom again. This time I stucked in BootLoop . Everything tried. Finally I gave up
I thought flashing back may work so I flashed available stock Gingerbird rom via odin. Now system is back running Stock Gingerbird Android with modem XXKI4. Then I tried to update GB to JB via OTA and Kies, But OTA and kies refused to update software.
Please give me any solution to get back my 4.1.2 version or tell me any idea to get Custom Rom Omega V23. Will it safe to flash Omega V23 4.1.2 directly on current 2.3.6 rom with Philz latest kernels?

I am not getting it. Please spoon feed me. I will be in debt.
I tried following steps:
I download Omega V23 custom rom and kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSN-OXX-4.93.6-signed and placed it on SDCard. After going into stock recovery I applied Philz Kernel via Stock Recovery. But getting error in red-
E:Failed to verify whole file signature
E:Signature verification failed
Please give me any solution. I dont have enough previlage to post into Android Development Forum as I am newbee here.

I guess you did not make backup of your original ROM... i would recommend that you install ics first before installing jb or custom jb roms... you can get stock ones samfilmware.. when try installing omega ROM again make sure you back your ROM this time so will not start all over again if a problem occurs at any time had same problem bootloop because of the kernel that was installed just did a full wipe fixed it for me and reinstall over again

Yepp..You are not getting it. System is running GingerBread with Stock Recovery. I can make backup in CWM recovery only. But right now my problem is that Philz Kernel is not installing. It will give me CWM Recovery and it will root the device. Any solution for above error??
