Hi there. I've got a flashing question for you guys. I'm currently on cm11 snapshot m8 with xperia z2. I'm looking to flash back to stock some can get the use of my stock camera and just use xposed framework for customisation. However, I don't currently have access to a computer and won't have anytime soon. So I'm looking for a cwm method. Even a rom based on stock that I can flash over cm after a reset and wipe as long as I get my stock camera back I'm happy. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!

download a stock based kernel, cwm recovery or doomkernel and a stock based rom, , deodexed or something stock based
Okay, take it you mean a pre-rooted stock based rom with Cwm included? So I would flash the stock based rom first, followed by the stock based kernel, followed by gapps? Is that right? What wipes are necessary inbetween? Thanks buddy!

stock based as in anything stock based, deodexed, prerooted, tweaked etc
gapps isnt needed for stock based
cwm included in roms arent neccisary
dont need to wipe when you install a kernel
wipe cache and dalvik when switching roms
wipe data if your switching base aka cm11 to aokp, or aokp to stock

You are joking right?
Have you tried this CM9/
Neo
Neo V
Its the OFFICIAL STABLE cyanogenmod for the NEO. It is VERY STABLE and has everything working.
Apart from that, to revert back to stock, just flash a stock kernel (Or any modded kernel for stock) and restore the backup you made before flashing the cm9 rom.

The roms that you have suggested are for "neo". i am using "neo v" and the reson i wanna go back to stock is because i con not onnect to my gmail account with cm9 over data connection. Its giving me some sort of an error: can not establish reliable connection....."...
now for going back to stock ics can i just flash it via cwm and i will be back in stock ics? dont i need to flash karnel or anything like that?

I just added the link for the neo v
Yes, you need stock kernel.(or modded kernel for stock roms)
The kernel for CM will not work with stock rom.
My suggestion is to try the stable cm9 for neo v from my link. If you are still unhappy then download a stock kernel, flash it it fastboot then restore your stock backup in recovery.
Do remember, if you flash stock kernel you will have to install a recovery. Or you can flash the alliance kernel from this thread

Rule number 1
Always backup, just in case you **** up!
Anyway, no problem, there are several options.
Find a stock .ftf in the dev section and flash that in flashtool after you have flashed the stock kernel.
Or, repair phone software using PCCompanion.
This will revert your phone to factory settings (Out of the box).
Or just follow the instructions in any "stock" based custom rom. I recommend Ice cream Pureness. Its a very good stock ICS based rom, fully functional and stable

Hi, i've an Xperia P with locked bootloader, .100 firmware, root, cwm and THE DARK ROM flashed. Now i want to flash JB Moonbreaker 3.5 and i want to know if it's necessary to flash a stock jb kernel as described in the instruction. Can't i only flash the zip that contain the rom as i did for The Dark ROM?

You can always try, however, I can tell you "The Dark ROM" install things this ROM may not be ready for and might conflict with what istalled with this ROM.
When there is a doubt there is no doubt, best you can do is re-flash stock and install JB Moonbreaker.
There are enough problems with custom ROMs, you don't want to add more.

DO NOT FLASH THE KERNEL(bricks your phone if you are lb)
I think just flash zip would be alright.

Yeah my doubt was about the need to flash a stock kernel (not custom) before flashing Moonbreaker
Hi.
I just installed CM10, and works well, but still has some bugs. Keyboard crazy with power supply, does not switch properly between Wifi and 3G ...
I wonder if changing only the kernel of other ROM's (fastboot ... boot.img) I could try to fix it.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure, u can try... mine works well on stock ICS with deleted bloatware. try flashing stock ICS.
you can try custom kernels but only those which are compatible with cm10 u can not flash a kernel that is for another rom that is stock based or on another cm based the kernel must be for cm10 only

Speedy Sola v5 on eXperience Innovation
Hello guys,
I have a similar question, I have tried to install some kernel after the rom is installed, and after that the phone doesn't boot, I did it through fastboot with different kernels and roms, I tried with Divaksh (eXperience v2 and Innovation v1.1) rom's and with Speedy Sola v5.5 or Munjeni's v5, is this normal?, how can I only flash the kernel?
Edit: Also first I installed Speedy Sola v5.5 and later eXperience Innovation v1.1 and kernel Speedy disappeared.
Thank for your replies!

Usually rom in zip contains kernel, so if you flash rom kernel anf then rom you will end up with kernel from rom. When you fastboot lernel, be sure your bootloader is unlocked and makd kernel you downloaded is for your device and it is right fof your kind of rom, stock cyanogenmod,...
After you flash kernel over fast boot then when you start the phone go directly to clockworkmod and wipe cache and dalvik. After that reboot and it should boot.
One exception, of course, if you want use experimental kernel, flash via cwm as it contains not only kernel but even updated libs.

Also thanks for the info, I didn't know that you lost the Kernel after installing a new ROM, but I have find my problem, Speedy Sola v 5.5 doesn't work on JB ROM for the moment.
Currently I have Legacy Xperia 10.1 installed on my Sk17i (Mini Pro) device. As per instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545367 it seems like we should first flash to stock then try flashing 11.0.
Is that really necessary or I can directly upgrade from 10.1?
--Edit--
Requirements:
* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)

This is the line the linked post, which I think seems to indicate that we first need to flash with stock then 11.0.
Yes it is important, but remember to exclude kernel when flashing to,stock

If you ever flashed stock ICS rom, and later moved on to cm10, cm10.1 you don't have to reinstall stock ICS. You can install new cm11 kernel (via fastboot). Do the formatting as indicated and then flash cm11 rom.
IF HOWEVER you never flashed stock ICS you need first to flash it.
I hope this is clear. I upgraded this way and cm11 works like a charm.

Thanks, I already did that. I had once before flashed to 10.1. So, now I directly flashed to 11.0.
Flashing stock is required only for having the latest baseband. You can just download the baseband from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707269 (Go with the latest one, i.e. , 77) an then flash but if you already have the latest one no need Also baseband is just 10-11 MB
Happy flashing

thx friends

Sorry not possible.
Any stock based rom that has a flashable zip you should be able to fully stock yes you would need access to a pc
