Hi, I just bought a LG Optimus L5, and it came full of useless installed apps from my carrier.
Do I need to root my device first, before I can flash the stock unbranded rom?
If not, how do I install the unbranded rom?
Thanks.

when you install custom room it is also pre rooted

But how does that reply to my question?
Do I just need to download the firmware unbranded and flash it to the device? Or do I need root permissions?
Hello Guys...
first of all, excuse me for my poor english... sometimes I don't know the exactly word I need.
Anyway... I'm from Brazil, and the Razr HD just arrived here. My problem is the following: I bought one... but it has customizations from the cell phone operators (Like Verizon and other, in my case is from Claro, yes the mexican one).
I want to eliminate these customization, and I think that the best way to do this is root the phone, unlock the boot loader and load a stock rom, insn't it?
but that's my problem. I can't find the stock razr hd's rom in any place... Recently i found the Xoom2 stock room, so I imagine that's there already a Razr HD rom somewhere to download.
If anyone could help... I'll be grateful!!
Thanks a lot and happy 2013!!!
P.S. I don't think "Stock Rom" is what I need... reading more I found that stock Rom is the pure android... what I need is the room without any customization, the oficial motorola released rom... did you understand what I mean?
Thks again!

Please post questions in the Q&A thread. As for terminology, "stock rom" means how the phone is when it's first turned on. All the different cel service providers specify provider specific apps to be added to the rom. Motorola doesn't release an unbranded rom. Also, the radio is set specifically to a region for LTE access (not all radios are on all the time, as that would drain battery like crazy).
Best way to get what you're looking for... Check the "debloat" threads in Q&A and look for which apps can be frozen safely. You will have to root and install an app like root uninstaller to do so.

Thanks a lot for your answer... I think that i was locking for a Retail rom... my ideia is to install a razr hd rom that is "clean" without any customization...
i found this site... but I'm not quite sure if is this what I need... my idea is to download the Retail Brazilian, root the phone... use the RSD Lite to put it on the phone... then do the normal procedure... will it work?
thanks a lot!

I too got a XT925 from Claro and did exactly what you described. It worked perfectly.
1) Rooted the phone
2) Downloaded retail ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943879
3) Used RSD Lite 6.0 to install the ROM
You can also freeze the unwanted apps (iJogos, iJogos HD...) , but I think you can only remove the Claro logo during boot by flashing a retail rom.
Best of luck!

Actually, in Brazil you can buy unbranded, retail phones. I think this is different in the USA and Europe, where phones are only sold through operators.

Where I can find the RSD lite for my RazzrHD.... ( kind lost here since I was used with the Sammy devices procedures)
Thanks a lot!
I recently rooted my Motorola Razr M XT905 phone. I have not yet unlocked the bootloader as I have not had a reason yet. I cannot seem to find ANY roms any where for my phone (Aussie version). All the roms are for the US variant XT907. I was wondering if anyone knew of any site that I could get roms for my phone. OR if anyone has install a xt907 rom on the xt905 and had no problems.
Thanks!

If you flash a non verizon rom, you will have issues such as no WiFi and unable to send SMS/MMS and probably others. There are some system files specific to Verizon that must be in the ROM in order to work for Verizon. If you are looking for a rom with bloatware removed, there are plenty in the Verizon Android Development section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development. CleanRom is a good one to look at. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732877
