Hi, i know that there are many guides on how to do this, but I dont understand, couldn't you just backup the data and reflash the custom rom on the stock slot, or will that not work?
info:
Stock Rom: TW Stock S4 MK2
Custom Rom: Eclipse S4 MK2
Safestrap Recovery
u just wipe the stock slot after u backed it up then u just flash the safestrap rom of ur choice. I think u can restore a rom onto it too.
Leave a thanks if I helped at all!

you can backup/restore both stock/ custom roms, the default will restore the whole backup replcaing the existing one, you can make advanced restore to restore specific backup.
well i restore many times if iam not happy wiv the custum rom so yes u can restore back but hav a proper backup and don wipe the whole phone as the backup goes off sometimes.

Yea you can restore your stock rom any time with Cwm recovery. As long as you have cwm recovery in your new custom rom you can acess your backups. So be sure you flash cwm recovery on your custom rom btw most of rom's come with cwm so you don't have to worry if not you can flash cwm recovery from odin too. Just search on google about cwm touch
Hope it helped you.
Thanks me i my words are helpfull.
Thanks You All cuz im not happy with this rom i wanted to go back..thanks again

As far as my expereriance, after restoring a ROM form your backup it is always a good idea to wipe Cache and dalvik cache befor rebooting. (not the factory reset..that will wipe your applications this you do before restoring only)
how will you restore to stock via CWM if CWM is via a rooted kernel .
It will be a non stock kernel .

But its not original and voids warranty if restored was my point .
Far easier to grab a download of the original rom .
OP did say stock rom and not custom rom so the answer is as always not via CWM its no longer a stock rom once rooted .

Recently , i have been watching some Cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.3 ROM video and it seems to be cool. Well my question is if i flash the Cyanogenmod ROM , can i re-flash the stock ROM that i had?
And is it safe to flash a custom rom?

Cool as in not overheating ???
a wipe and flash of stock rom will remove custom rom .
Root and custom roms void warranty and have a slight risk of bricking the phone .
But are usually recoverable .
You need to read the faqs and guides and understand the CM9 instuctions first .

to flash cynogen rom first u have 2 root ur phone please find the thread in original devlopment section regarding the same
u can reflash ur stock rom by dwnld the releavant .tar file adn flash the same thru odin
You can re-flash the stock rom, but just be sure to know which one is your stock rom. Go to settings, about phone and record the info there to be safe. Also back up your current rom using CWM.
There are always some risk in flashing a rom. Some people dont read instructions and cause problems on their phone, some people flash a rom not built for their phone (i9100 VS i9100G), etc.
Yeah i have rooted my device with cf-root. Thanks guys , i'll read some guides about cyanogenmod and flash it.
If your are currently on GB stock rom, Cyanogenmod developer recommends to install ICS bootloaded first,
You should be able to reflash your Stock ROM veriosn from ODIN, as well as custom roms from CWM...
What is bootload? o.o
My current firmware is ICS LP7

No they say to have below some specific ics boot loader, no mention of upgrading your gb boot loader, unless they changed it.
Plus I yet to had any issues with the latest ics or gb bootloaders..

I think he meant boot loader.
But since you already have ICS, you won't need it. Just take the latest CM9 nightly (or ROM based off it), and flash (you'll have to wipe cache data and dalvik too eventually). Make sure you make a full backup of your current stock ROM through CWM as well.

I refer this guide actually : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841817&postcount=1
I dont know its outdated,
as others are sharing their experiance that you could flash CM9 straight away from your CWM since you are already on LP7 with ICS Bootloader.....
I don't get it... What is a bootloader?. I mean when i flashed with ICS LP7 i didn't put a file on bootloader. I just loaded the PDA .tar file and flashed it..
Soo that means that i have to reflash the stock rom with bootloader?

I dont know the ICS package you flashed had an ICS Bootloader already...
I just gave you the link for Original CM9 developers guide...
Just wait for others recommendation who have already flsahed CM9 from CWM....
Hmm thanks . But i have read in the guide that i can flash it with odin , do i still need the bootloader?

Go to www.sammobile.com, download stock firmware, flash through Odin. Do not use repartition button or pit file

if you do a nandroid before you flash the resurection remix jb,and your nandroid backup is stock,you can simply restore it to your cwm,or other wise flash a stock firmware,i prefer the latest jb leak very fast and battery friendly.
u can also get stock branded firmware for your region herehttp://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100
no need to register as with sammobile
What are the consequences of flashing custom ROM on stock slot?
In my scenario
I have Motoroal razr xt910 ME version.
I am using BMM to flash custom ROM on other slots.
Now its confirmed that my device will not be getting JB 4.1, I want to flash other custom ROM on stock slot.
Any comments and suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
You will havr more space to install apps ando your stoc will be gone, so make backups in case...

Thanks Steven87.
After installing custom JB ROM in stock slot, will I be able to use RSD to return back to ICS if anything goes wrong?

yes
I am using Safestrap 3.11 and have my stock/primary ROM and using ROM slot 1 for different daily driver. My stock ROM is one that I used to get out of a brick situation so isnt important to me anymore, but the ROM in slot 1 is working very well. I would like to make Slot 1 my stock ROM or primary ROM and burn current stock/primary. Is it possible? and what is the best practice way to do it using backups etc
Thanks
Whay you want to do isn't possible.
You can flash a custom ROM on the stock slot using SS 3.5.* - 3.6 or BMM.
However, you cannot flash the stock ROM to any rom-slot.
Stock ROM will only work on Stock Slot.

So to change the stock ROM I would need to delete SS after copying slot 1 rom to PC [eg] install that new rom as new stock and
then reinstall SS to have the slots free again, does that make sense, or have I made it too complicated. I just dont need the primary ROM anymore

locked bootloader
I think I have answered my own query, in that because the Razr has a locked bootloader I have to use SS or similar to install other ROMs. Can I fool it by using RSD lite to install a different stock/primary ROM and then go from there with SS? Or is it a case of going back to base non rooted sbf and then rooting again etc?

You cannot flash a non-Motorola ROM using RSDLite.
However if you want to flash a custom ROM to stock slot, there's no need to make it that complicated.
You can simply do it as you would flash a custom ROM to any other slot.
Though if anything goes wrong you will need RSDLite to recover and flash back the stock.
