the stock rom is gone forever (as far as being on the phone) and the custom rom is your new software,
I understand that part. However I was just wondering if it would brick the device if I did that

Is it possible to flash a custom rom without root? If so, where can I find one?
Thanks for your help!

No. No custom roms unless you're rooted and unlocked. The closest you'll get are flashing Verizon factory stock roms via Odin, but those are not rooted.

What is your purpose to use custom rom without root?? Custom rom, by default required root for all the modded apps to work.

Umm, why?
I'm new and just trying to learn, that's all. I come from I phone. The S3 un-rooted can already do more than a jailbroken iphone. Almost like learning a new language with the Android and rooting.

Can i use any costom rom that support 4.0.4?or the rom depends on the phone? My phone was cherry mobile flare.

The ROMs you can use depend on your phone, not on the ROM currently in use (your default OS is just the "stock" ROM).
Just make absolutely sure the ROM you use is for your exact phone model or you can brick it.

Well title says everything... My S2 literally LOVES to get stuck... I can't press the home button nor the other buttons (back, search, menu). The screen doesn't respond. When I lock the screen and unlock it works back again but in some games it happens repeatedly... I really need help! btw sorry for my bad english!!

Instead of making a new thread every 6 hours maybe you should start one thread for all of your issues.
To help you..you need to help us. What ROM are you using? What version of that ROM? What recovery did you use to flash? This might help you to get the answer you are looking for with just a little more info.

I'm using Stock AT&T 4.1.2... I don't have any custom rom because some apps were "incompatible" with the 4.2.2...

How did you flash? Custom recovery or Odin? For the limited time that I was on stock JB 4.1.2 I did not have the issues you are. Best bet would be to backup all your files to a computer and Odin back to stock. That usually sorts out alot of issues.

I was on 4.2.2 cyanogen (i think that's the correct name) and then used Odin to go back to 4.1.2. I have this problem for a while... It happened a couple of times before going to 4.2.2 but not as frequent as now... It's really hard to use my phone without having to lock it and reopen the app I was using...

So it only happens when you use a certain app? If so..I would say the app is causing this and it may not be fully compatible.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache..maybe fix permissions to. If that does not help...Odin back to stock again. Sounds like something got borked in your flashing process (in other words user error).

Weird that's happening in stock. I'm not sure if the links are still working (I'm sure you can find them in here somewhere) but have you considered returning to stock using odin (no root, no custom recovery) and rerooting to see if that'll fix it?

yes i know it's strange, it doesn't happen on jb roms since those are the only ones i've tested on the phone. i wanted to get that crt enabled 2.3.6 but those links aren't working anymore, which is why i had to migrate to jb, i still want to get back to GB but the links aren't working
if anyone can help me grab the stock crt enabled 2.3.6 gb rom i would be extremely grateful

I guess I'll prefer to wait for someone with the time and knowledge to do it !!! Thanks . Going to start reading a lot . If you are able to get root with that software please let me know
It didn't work. I flashed to stock, took the update, and tried it, but it was a no go.
