Stock rom with root?

Can't find anything like this. Want to use a stock rom until CM7 gets its crap together.

U dont have a back up of your stock rom ? Take them from this time onwards. Its situations like these when u required them

What's wrong with CM7? Seems better than stock to me atm.

I'm surprised they're at RC status on CM based on some of the various bug reports and missing features I keep seeing pop up here and in the general section. The short answer to your question is that it's not-quite-ready-for-prime-time in some people's experience.
I'll turn your question around: what's wrong with stock? Gingerbread/NS is first Android combo I've not felt the desire to use a non-stock rom on yet even after two months.
To the original poster, I'll second what @suhas_sm said, you don't have a nandroid of your stock/rooted system? That should always be the first thing you do after rooting any phone, and the first step in flashing any new rom, ESPECIALLY a new rom that is in alpha/beta status (like CM7).
If you don't have your own nandroid, the development section does have nandroid images of a stock rom you can restore over your phone via clockwork recovery.

I have the stock back up but won't I lose root after I reboot?
I LOOOVE CM roms but CM7 is too buggy for me. Can't wait to use it when it's stable.

I will say I love my stock ROM with the Netarchy Kernal @ 1.2Ghz it is blazing fast. This is the first android phone I have had and damn its great. I don't think i need to go doing new ROMs other than the whole theme option sounds great.

[Q] Rooted phone, now what?

Hi folks!
Very new noob here and very curious about what else I can do now that I've rooted my Inspire 4g. I used attn1 hack kit and it took me roughly 30 minutes to complete the root process.
So, first question is - I've noticed, and already read about it, that my wifi is no longer working and that I need to do something.....yes I'm a noob and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get my wifi feature working again.
Second - What else can I do now with a rooted phone other than the tethering/wifi hotspot features? Any cool apps? Any updated core (not sure of term) program that will replace the default image loaded with attn1 hack kit?
I'm honestly completely content with what attn1 hack kit did minus the wifi.
So basically looking to fix my wifi issue, i can connect to networks but can't use them, and also looking to tweak/speed up phone even more and load some cool apps.
I apologize for being a noob.

if you want, you can try the rom in my signature....
in all honesty, try every rom out there for your phone. see which one works for you

You have a lot you can do still, read around these forums, use the search, and read the stickies, they'll help you out a lot. The first thing I'd recommend looking into is flashing a new ROM (the "core program"), which should take care of your wifi problem.
Just remember, most questions you'll have have been answered at some point, always search a few different ways before posting multiple threads asking questions.
But good luck! Welcome to being rooted, once you learn what you can do you'll realize why everyone recommends it. As for root apps, ROM Manager is must have IMO, makes flashing a lot easier, Titanium Backup is good, Root Tools is pretty useful (although on some custom ROMs like CM7 there are easier ways to do most of the stuff it can do), and SetCPU if you want to overclock your CPU.

My favorite thing about being rooted, other than flashing roms, is setcpu. With a Rom that supports it, you can overclock and underclock. I underclock when the screen is off and it helps battery life immensely. Just be careful with overclocking. Some phones do better with it. I never overclock past 1.2 ghz.

I stick to 1.3 max and I've never had a problem. My kernel can go up to 1.9 But that's just unnesseccessarry.

Did you flash the stock ROM (w/ or w/o SL) from his thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I was previously running it and didn't have any issues with WiFi.

The very first thing you need to do is flash a rom. The hack kit leaves you with the downgraded rom, which is strictly for the exploit during the root process. It is not intended to be left on the phone. You can flash back to the latest stock rooted rom or find a custom modded rom to try out.

Honestly you have tons of options. I have had a rooted phone for a long time and just now joined the site. I have been reading all the posts for months now and have gotten pretty good at it all. You first need to flash a new rom and learn how to tweak the base roms. Then once you master that, you will start flashing new radios and RILs. Then you will learn to mix and match kernals and roms. Then you will start to overclock and undervolt your cpu for performance enhancements and battery saving. There is a ton to do but reading the post in the development section will get you where you need to be. It will take some time but you will learn it all. Rom Manager is probably the most needed app of them all to start with.

Thanks for the replies folks!
I've gone and flashed my second rom! LOL...I know....what a young'en
I went with the Android Revolution ROM and I gotta say...loving the battery life so far...much better than stock.
I'm looking at changing the main theme and would like to go with the Code Red one. The pre reqs are - DEODEXED ROM, Root, S-Off, DHD Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager.
So question - I now know that I've got all of the above met except for the DEODEXED ROM. Not sure what this is....I have searched the forums and wasn't able to come up with a clear answer as to what this means.
Oh...lesson learned...back up my contacts before I flash my next ROM. I lost it all! lol

Just a bump for some help.

all custom roms are deodexed. you do have to be careful when applying themes though. most of them are specific for a specific build of a rom. you cant always apply any theme to any rom

Android Revolution is fully de-odexed. So go ahead and try the theme you want. It should work fine.

[ROM][CWM] Stock Deodexed KJ2 w/Root [11/1/11] - PDT

This is a Stock ROM for the KJ2 update that we never officially received. Its Deodexed and Rooted with the Modified recovery inside already, so you can use CWM.
Everything is Stock KJ2. The Kernel and Modem and everything else is untouched. Just rooted with the modded recovery, and deodexed.
Same install Method. Check mounts and remember to disable voodoo if you have it enabled or you'll soft brick (Remember this has a Stock Kernel!).
Stock KJ2-DEO-ROOTED

There may be various bug fixes, but there wont be anything MAJOR compared to the other stock ROMs. They are auto compiled and they dont give us a list of whats been addressed or not. You can try them out to see if you notice a difference, or if your happy with what you have keep it. Remember you can always make a backup and restore.

Downloading now. Thanks ayoteddy

Downloading now & switching base's for my new LRV2 to KJ2 if it's good enough .

There aren't any real new features to this version, there's some bugfixes (undisclosed, as it is a dev build), and some random new bloat widgets/apps.

Still, cut the fat, keep the meat of the ROM. This phone (like most of them) runs really well when you tear out the garbage that Samsung/T-Mobile preloaded on it. I've been playing with Undead9k's KG2-based ROM the past few days and removed even more stuff from the ROM (and added a couple of things I wanted) and it finally 'feels' like the old Sidekicks did. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from us having this update.

Got this flashed last night after some stupidity on my part. Thanks teddy for uping this! If you ever decide to release a bare bones version of this, I'd greatly appreciate it as I hate debloating ROM's. No T-Mobile stuff, no Amazon MP3, Books, and most of the Google crap (all but GMail, Marketplace, and Maps) removed.

This rom doesnt randomly force close like previous roms, nor does it reboot randomly either. Great job. Those were my only gripes with others, thanks!

Since install, this ROM hasn't bogged down on me at all. I only seem to have two small issues with it but if they could be eliminated, this would be a perfect stock ROM. After being plugged in to USB for a long period of charging, the phone can't play my custom ringtones. A reboot fixes this. The ringtone still shows there and the MicroSD is still mounted after being disconnected but even trying to reselect the same ringtone or another from the SD card just gives silence. Second issue is, heavy traffic causes data to fail. I can consistantly replicate this using Shazam to find song information. This does happen, as I said, only when the device is sending and receiving a lot of data. I'm going to try a different radio to see if this fixes that.

This is a literal stock rom, as being straight from Samsung, not just being in the design of stock. The only difference this has from stock is that it's deodexed and rooted, it's intended to be a base for those who like the stock system but want to be able to theme/mod it.

[Q] How to choose a ROM?

This is what I call a "high class problem". With so many ROMs to choose from, how does a noob like me decide. Aside from stability, we all probably have different wants and needs.
Can anyone who's checked out the majority of the available ROMs give the rest of us a rundown on the pros and cons of each ROM?
For myself, I'm looking for:
1. Basic
2. Reversible
3. No known issues with wifi, sms, battery drain, ciq, marketplace, etc.
Which one should I pic?

basically, you need to try them out and see for yourself.
the problem is, there will be another one up soon for you to try out

Like u said. To each his own. None of the roms here have major issues that I have flashed. All work and run well only issue is if there using da G's kernel which has Sod issues. Other than that flash away bruh.
Only u can prevent forest fires.....so choose well bruh. LOL

Other than doing a complete Nandroid backup, is there anyway to just backup your current kernel prior to flashing a new kernel? SGS KERNEL FLASHER doesn't work on the Skyrocket, and i'd like to backup my stock kernel in case I need to reflash it.

its close. if i have time this weekend you will see something drop. i have a few more tweaks i want to do before i consider it ready. internally, im already up to beta8, lol. i hope to have beta10 release as an RC1 for everyone.

From what I seen so far I seen no reason to try them though somebody has to or they never get fully debugged.
Some of the ROMs are AT&T only ..... sorry got SGH-I727R
Some of them do have Rogers ROMs but I read of Sleep of Death and losing LTE connection..... sorry too buggy and I NEED LTE or I would of got the Galaxy Nexus.
Finally what I really want is ICS and NOT ICS themed ROMs
None of them are for me but I check everyday when a ICS ROM comes out I will try it.
Finally I recommend you NEVER try Roms if you are not sure that you can restore.
I have backuped my ROMs, Apps and Data, APNs I am 95% certain I can recover from anything.
For that other 5% I have Odin and the orginal Rogers ROM

Just to agree with everyone else, you've got to try them out. There's no harm in it as long as you've done your nandroid back up, you're pretty safe when it comes to reverting back to your previous ROM and settings.
Reading the features and change logs for each of them helps alot... but it still doesn't give you a full grasp of what it has to offer until you flash and test it.

Former Droid X User Needs Help Transitioning

I'm making the transition from my old Droid X to the VZW Galaxy S3, and I have a few questions. The flashing process between these two phones are quite different and perhaps another ex-Droid X user (or just an all around knowledgeable person) could help me out.
1. To my knowledge, we were never able to flash Kernels on the Droid X because of its locked bootloader. So how does Kernel flashing work? Are there certain kernels that only pair with certain roms, or can you flash any kernel you like with any rom? I have a feeling it's the former, as I've already seen kernels categorized i.e. Touchwiz Kernels or CM10 based kernels.
2. With the Droid X, all roms were flashed using CWM. But with this phone that's not always the case right? Some may require a kexec method or even a custom recovery image, correct?
3. I've seen a few roms recommend backing up IMEI / MEID / EFS data before flashing. Is something I should consider doing whenever I flash, just as one would do a nandroid backup?
4. I've seen a few threads mentioning flash count, resetting flash count, etc. Should I be concerned with flash count? If so, why?
5. With the Droid X, before you could flash a rom, you had to make sure the firmware you were on was compatible with whatever rom you were trying out. For example, if you wanted to try cm7 you had to flash over the stock froyo kernel. If you wanted to try miui you had to flash over a stock gingerbread kernel. However, it would seem, with the S3 you can flash any rom (whether it be an ics rom or a jb rom) over stock 4.0.4. Is this correct? Can you flash an ics rom over the top of a jb rom? Or do you always have to revert back to ics stock?
6. Is Odin the Samsung equivalent of rsd lite?

1. Flashing kernels has been made as simple as flashing ROMs
2. kexec is outdated since the bootloader got unlocked. You can also still use CWM on this or there's another recovery that people like called TWRP (Download an app called EZ-Recovery from the play store, youll need it to flash any recovery)
3. Losing IMEI is a royal paiin in the arse, but it's rare. Either way you want to back it up. I believe the guide on how to do so is in the Development Forum.
4. I haven't tripped the flash count. Basically all it is is a way for Verizon to tell if you been f'in with your phone. I Believe that only AOSP/AOKP ROMs can trip it, not stock ROMS
5. It's a bit simpler flashing between ROMs on this phone. Just wipe data/factory reset and flash away. For the most part.
6. Yes it is basically.
Check the guide out in my sig, it'll explain how to do most everything in detail.

To Elaborate on this just a bit, yes it is as easy as flashing roms but you were correct in saying that there are aosp kernels and there are tw kernels. just make sure the os version (ICS, JB) and the framework (TW, AOSP) match your rom and you are good to go!

If you are just getting your feet wet with tw roms, you might consider giving Bean's a try. I've been using Build 9 since it dropped and it's smooth.
imo, it's themed just enough to not look like a straight tw rom, the performance is great and the battery life is fantastic as well.
I've tried synergy once or twice and was never quite completely satisfied with it.

I haven't run CM or MIUI or any other AOSP ROM on this phone so take this with a grain of salt;
If you want cool stuff and constant bugs/lack of normal features go with the AOSP....
If you want some cool stuff and a nice stable daily driver... go with the TW ROMs. I've been running Synergy since 1.2(or 3 I cant remember lol) and I love it. Everything works on it, it's stable, and it's currently being ported to Jelly Bean so I can't wait for that shtuff. Eschelon and the rest of his team are good about listening to feature suggestions/requests too when they got time so more and more will be added.

Don't want to hijack OP's thread, but do any of you know how to check flash counter?
I will be getting my FOURTH sg3 this week, and this is the first time I will be returning a phone that I had rooted/unlocked/rommed. I'm all back to stock, just want to make sure I don't get a bill for $600.

I honestly don't know. One of the devs for Synergy ROM said something to the effect its "a weird Samsung reboot code and so the phone automatically restores a bad backup of your IMEI. It's a fluke thing"
It's 100% random when flashing anything I believe.

If u use the synergy Rom to flash it automatically has a script to back up your meid number and stuff. I've flashed synergy official cm10 nightlies without a hitch. Just make sure that u obtain root and unlock the bootloader and flash recovery. Thus far I've had no problems. Btw synergy Rom is the best one out there. Jellywiz is a jb Rom it is awesome but only thing that doesn't work is sms at the present time. If u want to back up ur meid best tool to use is qpst just Google it. Also all in one tool that has been great for me unlocking obtaining root and stuff is Verizon gs3 casual tool. In order to use that tool u mist have java se framework which u can find at the java website. Any questions feel free to shoot me a message! Good luck!
