without fully wiping? It may or may not work, and you may or may not have bugs. Generally when switching bases its smart to do a clean install to prevent any possible issues.
Wow. At first I thought you meant a rom for the original HTC g1 android phone.
Then I thought you meant a galaxy s 1 rom.
To both of those questions I nearly cried.
Then I realized you were referring to the baseband. And to that I would say give it a shot. It's not going to permanently hurt anything if it doesn't work and it may very well be fine since they are both touchwiz roms

My Verizon s3 is getting horrible signal and data speeds. It's been going on for a week or 2 so its not like its a issue with vzw. Plus I know this due to speed tests with another device. My question is can I go from a aosp ROM to a touchwiz based ROM by just flashing in recovery or do I need to Odin back to that firmware then flash said touchwiz ROM?

Use recovery. I would avoid ODIN unless you really need to use it (soft bricked). It's much safer and easier to just flash zips in recovery prepared for you by our awesome devs. ODIN packages also overwrite all the phone's partitions so you would have to root/unlock bootloader again. Just make sure you are flashing a ROM made for the right device and that if the ROM is not packaged with a kernel, make sure you flash a compatible kernel.
When did these problems start? Changing from AOSP to TW probably wouldn't fix a problem like you are having. It sounds hardware related.

Thanks man. Actually the second I went from tw ROMs I noticed it. Gonna flash back and see. If its a problem with the device I'll get it replaced.

It's known that AOSP ROMs generally have a worse signal than TW ROMs. Most likely that's the problem.

Yeah I flashed a tw rom and my signal is stronger and a speedtest is drastically better.
I always hate asking questions like this, because someone inevitably points me to a link that was super-easy to find and I scratch my head wondering how I missed it! But, I am looking for a rooted stock ROM (latest) download link.
I recently upgraded my phone and made the mistake of selling it to someone with the latest CM ROM on it. Although I informed them that it wasn't 100% functional and of course once they had problems with it they returned it to me.
Hence the request for the latest rooted stock rom. I want it rooted since people do look for that and it's on them if they decide to try out new ROMs.
As always, thanks for the assistance.
Does the person you're selling the phone to want it rooted? Cuz they can't flash roms if the bootloader is not unlocked which means you would need to do both.

It is unlocked and rooted at the moment. I only want to put a stock rom on there to ensure that there are no technical issues that a potential buyer might have running a custom rom (and that they can take it into a verizon store for support).
If necessary, I guess I could unroot it by putting the stock rom back on it and then go through the motions of re-rooting and unlocking. I just assumed that there was a rooted stock rom availble I could flash.

I would not give someone a rooted and unlocked phone unless they request it. If they request it then fine. Bit otherwise it's a very bad idea. They could be someone who had no idea what root means and screw their phone up. They would take it to Verizon to have it fixed and then Verizon would say "Sorry we don't help people who has modified their software" (root and unlocked).

Aight, here it is then. Credit goes to Scrosler for the work. I do agree with @Sandman-007 though, I'd set it back to stock, unrooted and be done with it all. Leaves no stone unturned. Just make sure it is openly stated that the device is rooted and unlocked but with the stock rom installed. Anything less would be negligent.

I just got my Mom's old SGII Skyrocket to resale.
It has GB on it. I would like to put Kitkat on it for Ebay or Swappa.
What ROM would be the closest to a "Stock" experience?
I've ROM'd my Note 1 and Note 3.
Any Gotcha's I should know about on the SGII SR?
Is there a quick easy Root and Recovery method to that all at once?
No best threads period.

IBTL, but if I was going to sell, I would put the latest stock ROM on it, which I believe is JB 4.0.1.

I've considered that as well.
But sometimes the latest OS is a good selling point over all the others.

then read about cm11 b4 flashing, latest is not official, if selling it then just flash latest stock and be done with it where everything is almost guaranteed to work
I say not to put a rom on it. As you never know what could happen if you did. I recommend just sticking to stock. The latest stock is 4.1.2 jellybean for the Skyrocket. If they wish to get kitkat on it then they can take the risk themselves and you won't have to deal with it.

Yeah, that was my point, you are just asking for grief if you put a custom ROM on it.
Best is a term that only the individual can determine. As XDA is not a support site, this thread is closed.
Ok, so I'm no stranger to modding and XDA but every phone I've always had I always flashed custom Roms immediately so I'm not sure how it works on stocks. I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader on the stock ROM with Franco's kernel. Can I install system updates or is it best to do that on stock kernel and does being rooted with unlocked boot loader affect it? Thanks for any help.

The OTA should contain the stock kernel, so you would just need to flash the custom one afterwards. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see why it should be different from what I said...

Sorry, I wasn't clear: most likely the OTA itself contains the stock kernel, therefore it installs it instead of whatever you already have. After the OTA you should just have to (re-)flash your custom one back and be good to go.

worse case scenario you can flash an update zip but like previously mentioned the kernel is not what generally causes the issue but the recovery. I do not think you will have an issue but hey there are some nice custom roms out there with options give one a shot. Just nandroid you current setup
Remember custom roms are running 4.4.4

Yeah I know, I always use custom Roms cause I generally have phones that have some OEM ui plastered on so since this is already close to stock I'm going to ride it out and see how CM does updating for a bit. Especially since they promised L within 3 months after it's release.

Hello,
I am currently running SlimKat stable build 7 with elemental x. My nexus 5 has been unlocked, rooted and been running custom roms since 4.4.1. I have flashed the 4.4.4. Radio recently and it's been working good.
Will i benefit from flashing a stock Rom apart from the Radio?? Will flashing stock fix any bugs I might have even though I'v e been running SlimKat with no problems at all.
Thanks.

I must admit I simply don't understand what you're getting at here. You say Slimkat is running good, why change it? If you go to stock you'll lose features. Most ROMs are about as stable as stock by now anyways.
and radios and roms are completely unrelated. you can flash whatever custom rom, none of them include radios. radios are a separate flash.
Very true. SlimKat at has been really stable for me. Its more of planning for the next Android OS release. Maybe something I'm not seeing or experiencing but might cause problems later on.
Thanks.

This is my point exactly, even though I flashed the radio, it doesn't apply to the Rom and it's features.

I understand I'll lose the features, but maybe there are certain "codes" that the stock Rom has and custom does not.
You are right though, most custom roms are very stable already.

As far as I know, there's no good reason to return to stock. People still on stock generally have had problems in the past with other ROMs and prefer the guaranteed stability of stock. I know Franco one of our kernel developers uses stock with his kernels and his reason given was because it's the only ROM that can support everyone the way he intended and guarantees it works properly.

If you don't know what these "codes" are or how they affect your experience then they should be irrelevant to you.

This is why I am on stock. Seems like everytime I go with a custom ROM I eventually end up getting annoying system UI FCs. Very rarely ever get it on stock. Would love to ask what ROMs are the most stable so I can experiment, but alas that's not allowed so I'll stick with stock, but rooted.

I mean it very well could be my own doing, but the same things I generally did on other ROMs that produced some errors didn't on Rastakat. I guess everyone finds their true ROM in the end, lol.

I'm not familiar with Rastakat, so how is their history with ROM development? I ask because I don't want to flash it and then before long they just stop official development (like what happened with CyanogenMod on my Moto G).
