I'm not having a major issue but it's something that in the excitement of being rooted and flashing my first ever ROM, I completely forgot to do.
Would it be possible to flash the stock rom exactly as I had it once I finished rooting the phone? I don't want to use it but just want a back up of everything exactly stock before I went ROM crazy. Any help would be much appreciated.

I will answer in two parts...first of all you should have posted you question in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213167, wich is actually related to stock roms. Anyway, you can use several methods to return to stock, but you will loose the root access, although you can root it again using the Hack Kit. Check this link, posted in the general section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
The other two ways to return to stock is using the Hack Kit to revert or Gene Pole's tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
And of course, you have many roms that are the stock rom with no bloat and deoxed....Please, next time before opening a thread search the forum. All the information is available, you just have to look for it....
After you root the phone with Advanced Ace Hack Kit do a NAND Backup from recovery.
If you already flashed a custom rom without backing up your stock rom, how would you now expect to backup something that doesn't exist anymore?

Thank you all for the replies. I figured I would have to return to stock via the aahk, but imagined there being a rom that's exactly the same as when you finish running the kit.
Since I'm about to return to stock, should I format my SDcard before running the hack kit?

Formatting the sdcard is not a must but in some cases helps speeding the process...
check the roms available in the development forum there are a couple of stock roms without bloatware...that might help you and you wont have to revert your phone back to stock....

That's a bit more of a process on the droid 2 than your average htc phone.
There are detailed instructions on flashing back to stock in the d2 general forum.

Please don't hijack someone else's thread. Go read in the forum for your device.

Search under the developers sub-forum for Droid 2 here in XDA.
You will find the Stock ROM & instructions for flashing your device.
I'm trying to find the Stock HTC Inspire ROM. I'm about to flash to CM7 and I want to just have the backup for in case I want to go back and revert changes. Currently my phone has 2.2.1
Anyone know where I can find this?

I think he was saying he wanted a absolute stock to go back to just incase without the root access. To get it back to how it was when he bought it.

Exactly. I just needed that "go back to" for oopsies moments lol.
ROM manager contains most ROMs including stock ones. I would think that's your easiest solution.
There are a couple of rooted stock ROMS over in the dev section.

Is it not possible to code a custom ROM so as to then flash it the same way an official ROM is flashed?
Greetings, fellow Oklahoman.
What do you mean "the official way"? RUU? PD98IMG.zip?

Hi. Thanks for the reply. What I mean is how an official ROM is flashed when an upgrade is issued. A notice is given that there is an upgrade and you download and install the upgrade. Can a custom ROM not be installed this way? Rather than having to go through the process of rooting the phone and then flashing one of the available custom ROMs. I would think it would be possible to issue a rooted ROM as an upgrade flash.
Wow. U must be truly a noob. The only way u can flash a custom rom is that u have to be rooted and have s off achieved first. And once u achieve that, you are talking about an over the air update. Which that only can happen from an unrooted totally stock phone. The only thing that comes close to that is an update from rom manager, in which u have to be rooted first before rom manager will work properly, which will download and install a custom rom of your choosing.
In other words, you have to be rooted and s off in order for u to do anything outside of stock

I think the OP was asking if its in anyway possible to flash a custom rom via RUU not OTA. In the same way that ROMS for Samsung devices can be cooked to flash via ODIN as opposed to CWM...
Moved to Q&A
Hey guys, i have a motorolla droid 3. xt862. I am running cyanogen mod 7 and it is rooted. i flashed the Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US file using stock recovery and now the droid 3 bootstrap is gone and wifi wont work. im stuck with cm7 which doesnt work. I would just like to go back to the way it was when i got it stock rom and everything. I have no interest in custom roms because absolutely nothing works and it is all very buggy. Please i need help urgently! i hope im not stuck
is there anyway to go back to gingerbread 2.3.4? i can't seem to get rid of cyanogen mod 7 because i have no bootstrap and i can't install it again.
It sounds like you did an RUU? ? ?
That should have gotten you back to stock. Basically you need to get a working RUU version, of the latest OTA and run that. Or get a rooted stock rom.

Based on what a friend is saying this seem to be the solution. Please reply and tell us if this solution help you @watermummy7.

There's not 1 out there that's not buggy.. what are some good hacks/mods for the droid 3? I've heard of ubuntu for android from there website but its still in development

So i recently got an galaxy s2 skyrocket and performed my first android root using the skyrocket easy root zergrush app.
I am running stock 2.3.5 and am on ATT . The only things i have done is install the COM, froze the tether, and un installed a few bloatware items
My question is...
How would i restore this to stock? Un root and all?
Also how would i install 2.3.6?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
2.3.6 got pulled, so you'd have to install a custom rom.

If you rooted using DoomLord's method, then use this.

For 2.3.6 I would flash Silver's zip for the rom. You will need CWM.

Fellow noob
So I'm fairly new to android as well, I would highly suggest taking a look this thread goes over rooting, kernals roms and going back to unroot...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427268
Then a couple of the apps that have really helped me out are Titanium Back up and Rom Manager. Makes flashing roms very easy, between easily flashing CWM and rebooting into CWM with just a click. Then TB with it's auto backup's and being able to quickly restore when you've flashed that new rom. (I paid for both of these apps, so I'm not sure what features the free versions have)
I flashed to Silvers rom to get to 2.3.6 and it's working great, was very easy to do!
Anyways, hope this helps!
