Hey, I just ditched my faithful fully working Blackberry and got an used Atrix. It is rooted and unlocked, It is running Cyanogen.
I thinking I want to flash it back to stock. I'm tired of the camera saying no external storage hooked up. Email not working properly. Trebuchet has stopped working...
So I'd like to flash it back to the latest stock release/update...
Is there a guide or a sticky?
Or how would I go about it?
Or is there a stable release someone could suggest...:fingers-crossed:
Love the phone, hate the hassle so far...my bb was slow and ugly but at least it worked...lol
Any help appreciated!!
Cheers
For a fully functional alternative for stock (which sucks) find the cm7 thread in development section. Since its unlocked already it should have a custom recovery and be able to be flashed easily.

However, flash a wrong stock rom may accidently brick your device, so you'd better think twice.
Hi,
Ive had my Galaxy S3 for about 4 months now, and being in Australia waiting for the Jelly Bean update is driving me crazy, So i wanted to know how hard it would be to root my S3, I would have done it as soon as i got the phone however, My first galaxy stopped working after putting a new rom on the phone and my galaxy s2's screen turned blue and then died, although this could have been because i dropped it the day before, not sure both of these have kind of put me off rooting, however ive had a xoom and optimus 3d that are still fine on custom roms.
Also, If i wanted to return to stock, and unroot the phone, would that restore my warranty?
I have the International Galaxy S3, I think With Optus in Australia,
I would have searched how to root by myself, but i really dont want to brick the phone.
So if someone could link me to a stable rom and some instructions on how to root it would be fantastic
Thanks for reading
4 months..... I couldn't even wait for a day after received my S3
Even with custom ICS ROM you ll see huge difference
Hehhe I don't really care about warranty anymore after I chose to root
As long I enjoy the phone... But there's a way to do that...
I can't help you to find the link for rooting and apply CWM since I haven't been to any threads
If I were you, go search root by CF....
Good luck

Hi, Thanks for the reply,
I am going to follow this guide, Its from another website so my apologies if i am not allowed to post links to external sites, Although i found the link on an XDA thread so i figured it would be okay
http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/09/how-to-root-any-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
And im just looking at ROM's now, Just out of curiosity which ROM are you using androbot?
Thanks
I would always root my phone Just because you can use AD Block
Haha yeah i will look forward to that , Just Root'd phone then Tested with Titanium backup and works fine Just wondering if any of you could recommend a good ROM, or the ROM your currently using that your really happy with? Thanks
I'm using crDroid 6.3 at the moment...
I like ROM doesn't get stripped but still performs fast and fluid too...
Each user has their own taste....
The ROM is around 9xx mb...
It's got AROMA installer too....
After you root and install CWM, crDroid ROM requires touch recovery to avoid any problem...so you need to flash touch recovery recommended ...

I gave stock a try for a while.... Lasted 3 days. Samsung managed to create something that can't run on a quad core phone.... That's almost something to be proud of, I shouldn't experience lag and homescreen redraws on a $500+ phone. Installing a custom rom is a must for me, I don't understand why OEM version of Android are so horrible but they are. Rooting only will give you a few benefits and extra things you can tweak as well as ad blocking and making the GPS faster. But if you really want a change, custom roms are the way to go.
Hey guys new to android based phones, ive had the s3 for a few months and have read the forum for a while, i want to flash a custom rom and read about imei backup which i just did but i want to know is it common for the imei to delete when flashing?
I lasted about 3 weeks on stock.. now dual booting CM10 & UltraROM. You won't regret it :good:
Should I root??
Sorry for posting here but it's the closest I have found to what my question is. I have an AT&T S3. I would like to root to get rid of my bloatware but I'm a chicken. I rooted my HTC Inspire over a year ago and I didn't really know how to remove to AT&T apps and the stock rom was not as snappy as it was prior to rooting. I planned on staying on ICS until an official JB OTA was available, as I've never flashed custom roms before. What I'm most concerned about I guess is whether rooting will mess up my 4gLTE and wifi. I rely heavily on wifi since sadly, AT&T is lame, expensive, and doesn't offer unlimited data. So I want to make sure I don't screw up wifi if I do this. Can anyone provide insight or point me to a good resource that can help?? Thanks a bunch in advance and sorry for the noob questions.

Using Odin to flash CF-Root is super-easy, so don't be afraid. Rooting will not affect your phone's smoothness, but if you use it to remove apps with Titanium Backup without making sure they are not useless, you may end up having performance issues or worse. Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't root, just that after rooting, take care with what you remove via TB.
CF-Root can be found in the Original Android Development forum, follow the instructions and you'll be ok.
All three mobile networks are releasing them this month, November! Telstra, Voda then Optus.
Hopefully it's XXDLJ4 or above or XXDLJ6 etc
Swyped on GT-I9300 - XXDLJ1 - Siyah kernel 1.7b1 - Thunderbolt tweaks - JKay theme -
Hello everyone, i have a new Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 on virgin, i took the plunge and rooted it, all went well and fairly easy too, so i decided i wanted to update from 4.1.2 to the 4.2.2 update, i found what i thought was a suitable download and using odin i upgraded, however now all is bad, i have an os called slim bean or Nova or something, nearly all the apps have gone, i cannot get access to google store or the internet at all, it now tells me i am on tmobile and a few of the apps that are on there stop working when you click on them, the web and apps like this just do nothing, i tried to import my previous set up which was GO but the system tells me No supported launchers to import from, i cannot even add my google account. does anyone have any idea what i have done and how to rectify it, i really am regretting ever touching it, ive tried to ownload the stock rom but the only place you can get it from is a site called hot file which pretty much will not work unless i feed it money, thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. ATB
you should have read the guides/FAQ before rooting , if you did not do it, and if you did, read it again.
There are instructions of how going back to stock, how to root another ROM, what you have to be careful of etc.
In addition SlimBean & Nova are completely different things, SlimBean is a ROM and Nova a launcher (if you are talking about the launcher)
Sounds like to flashed the wrong ROM for your phone. Usually a good place for stock ROMs is sammobile.com or here on XDA the ROM threads in the General section.
Heya guys,
I have rooted my Samsung Note 2 and it is running Stock v4.3, mainly because I wanted to use GREENIFY and Titanium Backup. When I saw one of my friends this weekend, he was amazed that I was still running the StockRom on a rooted phone, and couldn't understand why I haven't installed a CustomROM on it, then persisted to say that the best one to have on my phone would be CYANOGEN Mod, which has tons of features and once I done so, would never want to use the StockRom again?
Now obviously I'm clueless to all the ROM business, so was wondering if someone could fill me in on whether he is talking sense and that I should install a C-Rom, or just stick with Stock v4.3.
Many thanks,
Hi guys.
Ever since I've upgraded to 4.3, my wife's XTZ performance went away. Everything is choppy, lags a lot and scrolling (in apps like facebook) is a pain the ass.
Can someone please guide me in reverting the firmware back to stock 4.1.2? The tablet is an wifi only, 16GB, unbranded european model.
At this point, we see as solution either reverting to a stable firmware or sell it and get a freaking ipad.
Thank you so much.

It is probably not 4.3 or 4.4.4 that is causing the problems; instead, it is probably the quality and quantity of apps installed on the tablet. Inferior coded and ill behaving apps will cause any version of Android to have poor performance. Perhaps backing up your personal files and then restoring the Android install to factory and reinstalling only necessary apps is what needs to be done. Getting an iPad is something only a brain-dead zombie would do.
Unfortunately, I've done a factory reset and reinstalled all the apps: facebook and Accuweather. Same poor performance.
So, is there a way to downgrade to 4.1.2 please?
Anyone?
Thank you.

it is better to make a clean install of 4.4.4 kitkat instead of 1.5 year old 4.1.2.
