Looking to switch from MIUI to CM( KENZO), and people keep mentioning a firmware, it's been difficult because there's many links!
Is the latest one? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
If not, which one should I be flashing?

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?
i haven't noticed too much difference from the kj roms or kk roms. is it worth the update to KL3?

I think you needn't update to KL3
Not too many different places between kj and kk roms
Why not? Usually when Samsung updates their firmware, they usually fix something or add new things into it.
It's not like you have to wipe anything to update an official Samsung ROM.

so true mate cheers
Yes if its official release definitely not if its a test release leaked release or beta firmware .

Down to you buddy if you want to update or not. I would honestly would update through KIES as that is the official way for me to get the latest stock roms for my region...Regarding flashing stock roms through Intratechs thread that is another option if you know what you are doing though....Best option read what other people have to say about the specific rom you want to flash and if you feel you are getting good feedback then flash away
What firmware will be upgraded from to go to ICS for Open Europe? Does anyone know by chance? I am on a custom rom, and want to go back to stock and be prepared for the firmware thats going to be updated to ICS. Does anyone have an Idea which version of the firmware it might be?
Not sure I understand your question.
You just want to use stock kernel with stock ROM, isn't it ?
So you'll just have to download all files from a thread on XDA. Indeed, there's a thread with all stock Roms, and you'll just take one for "Open Europe".
You'll still be able to root it with tools like those from ChainFire.
Sorry if it does not answer your question...
The question is, I want to go back to stock, but what is the stock rom that the new ICS is going to upgrade from? Without Odin. Does anyone know?
Sorry, my crystal ball is broken. XD
Seriously though, your best bet is any "open Europe" one. We can't know for sure which one will get the upgrade first.
Accord to the rumors it could be an Isareli operator to get update first. My bet is wait for our skillful ROM makers to have it ported to custom ROM

Upgrade will be from whatever the firmware version is on the phone providing its the original firmware .or a stock rom with the correct codes for your phone that match firmware on the server .
Simplest is to wipe phone and flash your saved original firmware .
Or any saved firmware that was able to upgrade in the past .

Hi all,
Before I get yelled at, the search feature isnt working currently on XDA, so my apologies for something that has probably been asked multiple times.
I'm looking for 'that' ROM, you know, a daily driver, and I haven't come across one that I like just yet. Some of this has to do with my signal strength (I know TW will always have a better signal than AOSP). I'm still on the MDK baseband version. My first question is will an upgrade to ME7 make a noticeable difference? If yes, where and how do I go about flashing it? On my S3 I was able to just flash a zip with the new radios, but I understand now ODIN is necessary.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

What rom are you on now? The reason I'm asking is because if your on stock you might as well flash something like Darkslide which is stock minus some bloat and includes the ME7 baseband. ME7 is in my opinion better but nothing drastic.

Currently I'm on an AOKP build, but I'm planning on flashing Beanstown's ROM. It says right in his description that he recommends the ME7 radio with his ROM. Not sure if flashing it would just give me the baseband.

He updated that in release 6 so just flashing the rom will update your baseband. Picture in picture and smart scroll will not work on the stock kernel....if you use them you will need to flash a kernel that supports it.
It's necessary to update the lastest baseband when flashing custom roms like LineageOs or DotOS or they already ship the lastest baseband with the release?
If i need to flash the upgraded baseband myself, where can i find the lastest one?
Thanks.
same question here..
Baseband is normally never included in a custom rom. You have to flash it by yourself. And yes, it is recommended to use the latest baseband to improve fingerprint accuracy on custom roms.
I will upload it for you in a few minutes, stay tuned.
Edit: Here it is.

Thanks for the link. I appreciate it!
I only need to flash this once after flashing the custom rom and never more, right? Only do it again if there's another update.
Yup, that's right. The baseband stays until you flash another one.
