what is stock rom - General Questions and Answers

stock rom

Hi,
a stock rom is the software that is on your phone when you bought and don't have a branding on it.

yeah basically, its the software that came with your phone straight out the box.
untouched/unmodded/etc

software that is on your phone when you bought and don't have a branding on it.

if i rooted my device and i backed up that ROM, does that count as Stock ROM too?
i understand that there are modified ROM's out there that can be installed (flashed), so rooting does not count as modifying the ROM...right?

no that is just a stock rom you have added busybox su binary and superuser app to it .
You can fully unroot that. and it ll be again like your old stock rom

its kinda in it name..little research goes a long way.

i think after updating phone using ota service some time changed kernel version and custom rom not supporting that kernel so they tell us to flash stock before install their rom.

Hello. If I rooted my phone (with Kingo Android Root) and then unrooted, but did not make a backup, is there any hope of restoring the phone? I did not flash a new rom. I had only copied my SD card files to my PC. I'm stuck at the set-up stage (I get force-close each time). Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks much

[Q] Help ??

Hello !!
I have a LG Thrill P925G Rooted + CWM Im getting tired of CWM and want to remove it ? is there any possible way i can remove it without bricking my phone ? I Want It To Go Back To Stock Everything
Please If Someone Can Help Me With This Situation
- ROM MANAGER IS NOT GOOD
:crying:
I don't recommend going back to stock ROM manager - it will remove your root instantly as soon as you hit factory reset - that depends on what ROM manager version you use, of course. So, I don't recommend that - there's better alternatives of course. And CWM or TWRP is there for when you accidentally brick your phone so it's best to leave any of rooted ROM managers alone so you can reflash the backed-up copy of Android ROM and your preferences - you will thank yourself for that. I managed to learn my lesson the hard way with my previous Android smartphone. Now I use TWRP a lot just so I can test the firmware out.

Help ??
Thanks Mario For The Reply
The reason why i want to go back to stock is because i just got an update from LG Mobile Support Tool and i think CWM is messing around with the update because my phone wont update and all my other friends as the same phone there's update and the not on any CWM Or ROOTED .. Thats the only reason why i want go back to stock ?? but i was wondering do you think i can still update my phone with CWM ?
:crying:
Just update to JB 4.2.2 and you'll be ahead of all of them

I couldn't find any solution so took it to service center and they re-installed ROM. As the phone was in warranty it didn't cost anything but took 10 days to get it back. They refused to give me stock ROM on pen drive when I asked. No custom ROM is available so I am not trying anything fancy with this phone. Not even ROOT.

Dear,
I think i might have bricked my Spice Mi-525. I installed a custom rom Lewa mode ultimate. After the installation finished, i rebooted my phone and now it just comes up with these two logos which say Lewa mod ultimate and then the screen starts to go blank slowly and turns kina grey blackish shade. the phone doesnot turn off using power button after that,i remove the battery to do so.
The phone is a spice pinacle fhd mi-525. I have read about the concept of stock rom , if possible could someone help me to just restore it to the default software again please.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

[HELP] Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T111 Crashes After Rooting

Hi
After rooting my phone using Kingo Root, i installed a rom from Sammobile.com (T111XXUANH3_T111OLBANH2)
The problem is, the installation did not make my phone better. All applications started to
crash (force close) especially Facebook, Whatsapp and messaging.
The crash occured in regular basis everytime i used some functions in the apps. The warning message says: " ...... has stopped". I can not even send sms anymore since it was always crashed seconds after writing the message.
I have done all of these steps suggested in many forums but they did not work:
1. Wipe partition and cache in recovery mode
2. Delete data and cache of the apps
3. Fix permissions in apps to fix their UIDs (i used fix permission app downloaded from google play store)
My questions are:
1. What is the best installer app to install ROM from computer?
2. What is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T111?
3. When installing the ROM, Does it install the new kernel as well?
I'm still new in Android rooting and i don't have much knowledge about installing a new rom properly including its Kernel. Please help me to restore my phone's functions back to normal.
Thank you in advance.

If you're installing a stock ROM use ODIN always if its a Samsung device, if it's a custom ROM use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
When installing a custom ROM it will install a new kernel most of the time (Very rare when a ROM doesn't contain a kernel and it's always custom ROMS). A stock ROM will always contain a new kernel.
Finally there is no such thing as a "best" ROM, everyone has a personal preference but to get you started I would recommend trying out CM11, Paranoid Android or PAC-ROM as these have a nice stock feel whilst containing useful tweaks.
To restore your phone to stock just download the stock firmware from SAM Mobile and flash using ODIN and select the PDA file in the PDA button area and then flash

If you have the correct custom recovery installed and the correct custom ROM on an SD card sure you can replace the current one

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/alexis-rom-1-0-feel-game-sound-01-04-t3349944
Just tried the Alexis Rom and same thing.. stuck on boot. I reinstalled Alliance hoping for diffrent results.. can text message but no audio during a calls.. ugh! Back to stock again lol..
Provider - Telus
S6 920w8
Stock Android version - 5.0.2
Stock Kernal 3.10.61-4808800
I am using TWRP v2.8.6.0 and am wondering if the version or kernal may have anything to do with getting stuck on boot with almost every ROM i've tried to install..
My procedure when installing a custom ROM is to do a factory reset from TWRP (i dont do data or format because there is no sd card slot to store my rom or backup image), install ROM, clear cache/divik, reboot to system.
Any Ideas??

Reflash any ROM giving you sound issues and then flash either hacker kernel or arter kernel as they are the only two compatible as far as I know. Once you have flashed arter kernel and then rebooted your phone. Reboot your phone back into recovery once more and then flash this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Gyz91x5k7gc2NBS2N5TFQwY0k/view?usp=drivesdk it is the call audio fix for our devices (925T / 925W8)
(920T / 920W8)
Just make sure you DO NOT FLASH THIS BEFORE DEVICE REBOOT AFTER FLASHING CUSTOM KERNEL. Or you will get into a bootloop and say this doesn't work. (Your system needs to build with kernel settings first)
Here's a step by step I hope helps.
1. Flash custom ROM
2. Flash custom kernel
3. REBOOT
4. Set up ROM.
5. Reboot into recovery.
6. Flash call fix.
7. REBOOT
8. Profit.
Hope it helps you and welcome to making your phone truly yours.

Another reason why you are not booting is because you are on 5.0.1
You will have to update the bootloader to MM 6.0 first in order to use 6.0 custom ROMs this can be achieved by flashing any of our latest Canadian firmwares. (Does not matter what company if you are changing FW after.)
ALSO you can use the advanced wipe settings on TWRP to wipe everything but 'internal storage' that is where the ROM is downloaded.
I had alot of issues installing custom ROM's.. so i decided to upgrade and install OEM marshmallow 6.0.1 then re-root my phone. It worked.. I'm running Griffin ROM atm but will play around with other roms now that i have a good idea of where i went wrong.

I do not. However I always have mobile data running, maybe toggle yours and see if it sends. Some of the new ROMS have incorporated a tweak that auto toggles data to recieve pictures and send them. Griffin AFAIK does not have this tweak yet so when sending MMS you need to manually turn mobile data on and off.

Private mode?
Like in the browser? Or in the actual software?
I've never used it before so I've never hunted it down.

Maybe IMEI blocked if stolen or contract not paid off, is it 2nd hand?
Did you try using different USB cables and USB ports?
The phone may have to be force flashed using different hardware such as an octopusbox.

is there any other solution other than the box ??
in older versions of android we had the possibility to put the radio.img and other simpler solutions .
Usually, flashing a complete stock ROM with Odin will flash everything together including the bootloader, baseband/modem, recovery, and system.
Post the Odin log as there may be something in there that can help resolve the issue.

yes it is , but am pretty sure its not stolen , bought from mobile store was almost new when i got it .
i just managed to fix my phone (in phone store lab , probably they used the box).
last time i rooted the phone and then installed "noutfan " custom rom there was no problem with IMEI , signal or software issues , exept for many bugs in firmware and gear VR made the firmware collapse .
after this i installed superstock rom (without flashing bootloader or modem) i installed kernel and everything which was in the aroma installer ( its not the first time that i flash this rom . worked fine before last time) after installation last timei lost the imei and phone signal (before fixing the phone) .
i dont know what went wrong this time ,usually i install custom roms with no problem . now i have 7.0 stock rom (after fixing the phone) and i want to install custom rom but afraid of facing the same ptoblem .
Any ideas ?? what have i done wrong when i have installed superstock last time?? why i lost imei ?? how to avoid this problem when rooting and installing the custom rom ???
