Currently running miui with matrix kernel and I'm looking into flashing a stock gingerbread ROM to receive ics when it is released. I've flashed customs ROMs before but have never gone back to stock. How do I go about doing this? Will I need to reroot my phone? And will I be able to flash a kernel on the stock ROM? Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. Someone kind will post it here in a zip file soon after release i would imagine!

This is not necessary; somebody will almost certainly post a zip of it here you can flash.

Flash it just like any other ROM.

No. As long as you have CWM, you're all set.

If someone makes one, sure.
sorry for abusing you thread, mokflurry, but i also have a question regarding requirements for the upcoming ota-update.
i am running stock rom, rooted, with cwm and custom kernel.
regarding the recovery, i already read, that this shouldn't be a problem. can anybody confirm that?
and what about the kernel? will i have to return to complete stock for ota?
thanks in advance!

You can be rooted with another recovery, But need stock rom and kernel.
Until and unless you believe that you will be the first one to get the OTA, you need not worry about the OTA. It will be up on XDA as soon as OTA is rolled and you be flashing it even before the OTA is actually is pushed to you

OK, total noob question
Since this is my first smartphone and I'm new to rooting/flashing ROMS/themes, I have a question about this: do I accept this OTA and then flash my current configuration afterward? Or should I ignore it, and if I do will VZW keep nagging me about it?
I'm running Humble 5.0 RC2, imoseyon 4 kernel, HumbleComb theme, and have backups from both the latest CWM and Titanium.
TIA for any advice.

You have to go back to stock using odin, use the the pit file and download the stock rom.
Once your back to stock you can update the phone OTA.
I went back to ED1 and got the update to EE4, but no EP4 yet

Personally I have a similar setup to yours and will not worry about the OTA. Custom roms built on it will be available soon enough, and what you have now will have mostly all the same fixes. And if you want radios I'm sure an odin flashable one will be along soon.
Is it EP4D or EP4P? If it's EP4P, why did Samsung release old code on their open source page?

Yeah Im gonna wait too. No reason to go through the hassle of back to stock to maybe receive and update when soon enough someone will have create something else.
Cool, thanks

Good enough, and thanks for the quick reply. I'll ignore it and wait for you awesome devs to post a new ROM. BTW, I'm using the EP4P radios, too.

You think they stop working on trying to improve things and fix bugs just because a build was submitted for OTA testing? If that were the case, we'd never get the OTA.

Hi guys, I am having too many problems with CM9, and I want to revert, I'll just wait for OTA ics. Can someone guide me in how to revert? I want stock gingerbread, the one that came with the phone, no custom roms. I've got a 9020A.
Thanks for the help.

Im using CMW Recovery 6.0.1.0, when I install a rom and reboot I get this message, "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" I said yes... Does saying yes or no make a difference?
OCD madness.
I was assuming that I don't want the stock kernel with my cm10 so I said no.

This is an outdated thread from before the bootloader was unlocked. Basically, disregard what they are implying because the way flashing roms used to work is "different" than how it is now. Our bootloader was unlocked on August 15th, since that date, when you flash a rom the kernel is flashed as well. It's my understanding that this was not the case when our bootloader was locked prior to August 15th, only a rom was flashed not a kernel. The kernel remained the same throughout all the roms, it was the touchwiz stock kernel. As I said already, this is no longer the case.
Ignore this thread and read DroidStyle's guide in the Development Section if you have any questions regarding the flashing roms process. Also, backup your IMEI.

the recovery is not the kernel
say yes
The question has no relevance when running a custom rom. It's there for reverting back to stock on a stock rom/returning original recovery.
Saying yes or no has zero impact unless your on stock rom.

ota updates you wont get with a custom kernel. you need to have everything(besides the root binaries) completely stock, no modifications at all.

actually deodexed might not receive an ota, since the odex files are "removed". but for that im unsure.

odexed version with stock recovery as well. but why do you need an ota? many times theres a custom rom or a stock aosp rom ready with the new code by the time the ota starts. maybe at lates a few days after there are rooted roms already out.

I heard that the 4.4.3 fix some camera bugs, so I'm want to check it...

Hey,
Just one problem, after I installed the stock rom, some applications stopped to run, and when I connect it to the computer (With USB Debugging and MTP) it's just showing me a "Internal memory" and I cant copy anything...
Not sure where but I read that if anything under /system/app is modified it automatically disables Ota. If that's true that would mean you'd need an odexed ROM with no SuperSU and definitely stock kernel.

no you can get the OTA with SuperSu/Superuser.
the issue the missing odex files. the OTA performs a check and looks for those.
Hi,
ATM I'm running KK4.4.2+Cataclysm. My question is, can I update safely or I need to do something?
Thanks
Update safely? Cataclysm didn't have an update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. You'll need to start from a different ROM or start from stock if you want to update.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
Cataclysm is gone. You need a new rom. You'll like purity if you like Cataclysm

It really depends what you mean by "update"
If you mean "can I install the OTA?" then no. If you mean "Can I install a 4.4.4 full ROM?" then yes.

No need to sulk. Dirty flash Vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom and see if everything works. If it doesn't only then do a clean wipe. Same goes for Purity if you want to try that out

Update the entire ROM. OTA is designed to patch existng system files in your rom 9adding new code to existing code), but you're using a modified rom so this code will cause problems and lead to an unstable device.
Just go into recovery and flash the rooted stock rom which you can find in the resources section in my signature. If you want a rom with more functionality than stock, just find one in the dev sections and do the same.

you will never be able to accept and install an OTA with a custom rom. this using roms 101 stuff.
