Hi all, I've tried using the search function and looked through the similar threads. However, I am unable to find a thing about it. I was wondering, for my own device's safety, if I am able to flash a custom rom on baseband g900tuvu1gpe1 (if baseband matters). It's been a while since I've actually flashed any custom rom and have never flashed a custom rom on my tmo s5. Oh and I am using TWRP for recovery. Thank you!

I think you need to work on your search skills. There is a whole sub-forum for ROMs for the SM-900T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development
And, you can flash international ROMs for the phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5
There is a link in my sig for a Stock Rooted Deodex ROM, that I'm using.

Thank you for the response. However, that doesn't answer the question I had asked on the title of the post.

So I have just Flashed HARDSPL, RADIO and a custom ROM.
I'm about to install Android now.
My question is, is it necessary to have a custom ROM to have Android?
Or can I have stock ROM and Android?

Yes.... and no.
Actually, "it depends" is the best answer. I use stock ROM (had to flash my Radio to higher than 2.08 obviously). I have no problems with android. A quick search around the android forums will show you that many people have problems with android unless they flash a custom ROM.
So, it depends... If you are lucky it will work fine on stock ROM. If not, you'll need to flash one of the recommended custom ones.

Thank you for the quick reply.
I guess I'll stick with the custom ROM for now then, although I do miss my stock one already lol.
Just for future references, Do I have to uninstall my custom ROM and flash Stock ROM the same way I have done Custom ROM?
I believe the process is slightly different and may involve a flash through the SD card. Although I've never really looked into it myself.
Check out THIS thread. It has some more info on how to flash back to stock. Or THIS one if you are tmous.
Thank you ever so much, I figure I will try it with stock ROM first, see if that works.
I'm guessing it doesn't matter which stock ROM I download from the none TMOUS thread link?
Actually, I remember reading somewhere that it very much matters what stock ROM you use. (I think) someone said they bricked their phone using the wrong one. However, I do read a lot of posts and I may be remembering incorrectly....
Either way, you should ask around or scan through that thread to be sure.
Right ok, Trying to find a tutorial now on how to determine which one I will need.
Thank you for your help.
I remember my stock ROM being 1.66 something.
So should I download that one?
Just wondering..
What ROMs are currently being developed here on XDA (both the original android & android ROMs sections) are flashable through ODIN? and is there a benefit to flashing through CWM?
Thanks heaps

flashing through odin you can flash stock roms from different regions and also litening pro...check the android development section and you will find the rom thread there. also if you are going to root do your homework first...
benefit of flashing through CWM is it makes life alot easier...ie flashing through your computer each time you want to put a new rom on your phone...all your answers are in the original development thread
Yeh..I've been using Lite'ning Rom (currently on v6.1) on my SGSII, but I wanna jump on android 2.3.5.
Any recommendations on ROMs that can be flashed via ODIN..and provides good battery life?
Stock 2.3.5 from Intratechs thread .
jje
Do stock like JJe suggested and then just enjoy the beauty of it...give yourself a week trying it out and in between read through the original dev forums about roms and how everything works...each rom thread has guides on installations and how they work...if you got more questions feel free to ask me

Hi there,
Today I received my Samsung Galaxy S2 and now I'm trying to find some information about custom roms for my phone. After searching through all sticky's here I cannot find any info about where to start with custom roms.
My previous phone was a HTC HD2. I've installed android onto my phone using MAGLDR and Clockworkmod, which worked great. The thing I liked the most was that in case I screwed up a installation I could alway flash the original Windows Mobile ROM back, making my phone almost stock again(still will have to remove HSPL then).
I also helped a friend install custom roms on his HTC Desire HD, but the thing I notest on that phone was that you could never go back to the original android installation. I hope this is different with my new phone.
So these are my questions:
- Where can I find some information about flashing a new ROM to my phone?
- And is there a way to revert back to the original ROM after using a custom ROM?
Grtz Willem
First read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
First root your device.
Then:
Flash a rom which you can find in the Development section. Every big rom has their installation procedure explained. (VillainRom, Cognition.. dunno)
----
You can just flash back the original stock rom, but there's a hidden counter that counts how many times you flashed new software. You need a little tool called a 'usb-jig' to completely undo the number the counter is on. This way you'll retain your warranty.

You need a P rom to flash as far as we know so far .If you flash a wrong firmware you can brick your phone .
Checkrom is a custom rom if you go to the Checkrom post in the developers thread it wil giver you a descriptions . Same goes for all custom roms page one this rom is and has the following or not .

You can only flash a P rom unless you find evidence to the contrary . Most roms are for i9100 version .
Or be a guinea pig and try .

You can flash 9100 ROM on your 9100P
But 9100 ROMs don't support NFC module (it will be supported natively with ICS).
I have the same device (orange FR) and you can look my signature for working Radio + ROM...

I dont remember
But if your device is already rooted you can install Rom manager or CWM from the market and make a backup of your config. Then reboot in CWM and install what you want (read the how to install section of the wanted rom).
Don't care about your "P" version!
What you read here for standard device (i9100) is working for your P version.

Don't use Rom Manager, use Clockwork. Rom Manager seems to not work well with the SGS2, this forum is littered with posts from people who used Rom Manager to flash and it broke CW Recovery, put the phone into a bootloop or soft brick, etc, etc.
Best to play it safe IMHO.

Oh I didn't know that rom manager was not working fine on our device. I am using clockwork manager and it is working fine.
I've seen a heap of posts in the couple of months I've been visiting this forum from people who ended up with broken CW Recovery & bootloops after using the Manager app.
I used it once to try and flash a kernel & it broke recovery completely.
Obviously any/everyone's mileage may vary, but for me, I'd rather play safe & boot into Recovery whenever I flash or backup.

so if i shouldn't use rom manager, what should i use ?
Didn't say you shouldn't use it Just said that plenty of people have had problems using the app, and rather than risk it, since I had that problem with it, every time I've done a backup or flashed a rom/kernel I've rebooted into recovery & used CW Recovery itself to do the business
As I said in my previous post, your mileage may vary & you may not have any problems with it at all.

Hello guys! I have a GT-I9100P also with the latest BVKL2 2.3.6 firmware. I had it rooted when I was at BVKI3 2.3.4 firmware and now I am looking for a good CF-ROOT kernel for my phone. What would you recommend me? (what if I tell Chainfire to make a CF-ROOT more appropriate to my kernel)?

Why don't you post in Chainfire's thread to ask him about making an insecure KL2 kernel?
But I think you can use the insecure KL1 kernel from Chainfire's thread to use for root. Or you could flash SpeedMod or Siyah, and the rooting will happen for you. You have lots of options.
were to put the rom zip file
I got the exact same phone as the OP im trying to flash a rom in a zip format but clockwork mod recovery cant find the file ive looked in install from sd card and install update.zip. ive also tried installing it through rom manager, no joy there, inside rom manager i chose to boot into recovery to flash it manually and now i got a black screen with a white triangle n a lil green android dude so i see what people are saying about the s2 and rom manager, anyways my question is were do i place the zipped rom? on the internal or external and should i rename the rom file?
Ive had 2yrs experience with a HTC HD2 so im not exactly a noob to flashing roms, but the galaxy s2 is very new to me.
Hi all!
I would really like to install a new unofficial ROM on my s3.
Here's the question: I am currently using I9300XXEMC2, the device is rooted and I already installed CWM Recovery and Rom manager.
Can I install Omega ROM (Based on beta firmware XXUFME7) straight from the I9300XXEMC2 fw?
Thank you for the answers.
Peace and love <3
I would recommend using recovery directly. You may or may no0t need to wipe. Please have a look at the link in my signature "read before rooting" to help you understand the basics

Hi and thank you for your answer.
I red the thread in your signature, but it didn't help (or I didn't see it) for my question.
My question is: do I need to install a new BB, before flashing the rom, if I want to flash a rom based on a different BB from the one I'm currently using?
Thank you so much in advance.
(Sorry for bad english, I'm italian ^^ )
The rom is installed over the old rom. It replaces it entirely. You can flash any rom over any other rom except you may need to wipe data for the reasons explained in the "read before rooting" thread.
Roms are not based on bb's (if you mean baseband). Any baseband should work on any rom. Always backup efs (again in the thread I suggested you read). Whether the thread answers a particular question or not is irrelevant. You really need to know all of it
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
In this case a full wipe is probably necessary to go from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
Thank you so much!
This is not my first time flashing, anyway thank you for the thread, I red it all, and yeah, I was talking about the baseband^^
Thankyou, problem solved, moderators: you can close this thread.
Thanks again XDA for the fast help you provide
