I found This topicon how to get back to stock recovery. My question is wouldn't you have to be on stock rom and the stock hboot for the OTA to work? or the HTCinstaller dosen't car just as long as the stock recovery is still intact?
I dont see the point, but thats just me.
New update comes out =new custom rom (stock or not stock) on xda
just backup important data before flash. some roms dont require a wipe if u r coming from the same rom 1 version under.
check rom threads. IMO no need for OTA.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
1 lets say if I m on kitkat kernal and kitkat rom! Then I wanna revert back to jellybean do I need to flash jb kernal first from recovery then rom ?
2 if I flash Custom kernal and rom some hardware issue arrise obviously I need to be on stock rom and stock kernal and locked bootloader! So I tried finding stock kernal for Xperia L but I failed? How to get stock kernal? Or I don't need it I can fool Sony by installing stock rom only?
Grab the ftf from the link
If you want to revert back to JB:
1. Flash the kernel using flashtool.
2. From the recovery, you can install custom Rom.
OR
If you want go back to stock, just the flash the recquired FTF

i'm new for this phone and i want to go back to stock safely , i'm currently on simple rom, How can i go back in stock rom specially on d80020y. because i want to flash the D80030F.
sorry if this question is gonna be repeated,
1.Hi I'm wanna know that does it possible to install stock ROM by using twrp. Because I never see stock ROM that unique for twrp. 2. Twrp does it use only for customer ROM.
3. Anyone has stock ROM lower version than 9 ? I want to downgrade stock ROM . Seem like I used to with stock ROM than custom ROM. But I can't find any stock ROM that can install via twrp. If install on Odin. I got fail . Guessing bootloader not allow to downgrade
