stock rom
Hi,
a stock rom is the software that is on your phone when you bought and don't have a branding on it.
yeah basically, its the software that came with your phone straight out the box.
untouched/unmodded/etc
software that is on your phone when you bought and don't have a branding on it.
if i rooted my device and i backed up that ROM, does that count as Stock ROM too?
i understand that there are modified ROM's out there that can be installed (flashed), so rooting does not count as modifying the ROM...right?

no that is just a stock rom you have added busybox su binary and superuser app to it .
You can fully unroot that. and it ll be again like your old stock rom
its kinda in it name..little research goes a long way.

i think after updating phone using ota service some time changed kernel version and custom rom not supporting that kernel so they tell us to flash stock before install their rom.

Hello. If I rooted my phone (with Kingo Android Root) and then unrooted, but did not make a backup, is there any hope of restoring the phone? I did not flash a new rom. I had only copied my SD card files to my PC. I'm stuck at the set-up stage (I get force-close each time). Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks much

Did you recently install any new apps?
Meta info error occur during installation of cn3 v034 zip ....why ?
Forum members:
I recently user rooted my device per the forum excellent instructions but now am unable to to update the firmware for the android OS. When I get the popup notifying me that an upgrade has been downloaded, I go through the drill of rebooting to the Odin screen and then reboot but am then advised that the upgrade failed and something about using Kies. I user rooted the device in anticipation of installing Ubuntu but haven't done it yet. I intended to be able to dual boot depending on what I am working on. I use the android OS most of the time and it works ok but will not upgrade itself. I have searched the posts regarding the inability to upgrade android when the system is rooted but haven't found anything that I understand or that tells me whether or not it is even possible to upgrade the android OS when user rooted. Can anyone answer the question succinctly and if it is possible point me to instructions on how to do it. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Hi. That's right, you can't make OTA official updates anymore if you rooted the tablet.
You can however download the new firmware version from sammobile (official non-rooted) or some custom version from XDA, then flash it with odin or mobile odin (for official), or CWM (for custom "zip").
Here's a tutorial for Galaxy Note, but it might work for your tablet too - anyway it gives you an idea of how that can be done. The written procedure is here.
going through the same issue...
I am having the same troubles as the person who started this thread. I rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 from the instructions that I found on this forum. I also installed ClockWork Mod recovery as per the rooting instructions. Now that I am hearing that I will be unable to update to jelly bean (official) because I rooted my device what can i do to work around this problem?
What if we reboot into Clock Work Mod recovery and use the option to restore device to stock firmware? If we did that option it would restore the tablet back to its factory resetting and then could we upgrade to Jelly Bean using the "software update" option?
Or is downloading a firmware from sammobile the best option?
I am really not sure about what to do next...
Hope to hear some kind of response on what to do next...
You can get JB stock from sammobile and flash it with odin. Or you can get a custom JB rom from xda and flash it with cwm. There's nothing complicated about upgrading, both ways are good. I would pick the second one, this way you stay rooted.
Hello I purchased a Lenovo A660 From ebay 2 weeks ago, I have tried following all forums to root and install custom roms. I am a complete Novice at this as it is my first Android device/smartphone. I have even paid online to have someone Root it, they installed SuperSu and told me it was rooted, but nothing has changed. When I try to install Custom roms I get stuck. My main problem is that I cannot get rid of the chinese apps and install Gapps. Please if there is someone out there who can help it would be great as the seller will not take back the phone now that it is rooted. Anything can help please!!!
A660 rom
Hello!
Five weeks ago I was in the same situation. After trying several roms, I ended up using this one: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-a660-etotalk-mod/ . It's rooted and quite stable (some crashes with Strava, but not sure why), fairly light and most important (almost) free of that Chinese crap (no disrespect). The firmware has a modified vold.fstab and it swaps sdcard and sdcard2. Good luck!
Hello fellas,
My girlfriend have a Xperia E Dual on stock JB and everything is slow, laggy and freeze sometimes. I tried disabling some apps, removing them from RAM, managing start up applications and nothing seems to be very effective.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 and also had some lag on stock ROM and thanks to the xda community which offers plenty of ROM's for this device, I'm running a perfectly stable version of CM of Android 4.2.2 and have no lags since.Then, I came to the Xperia E forums to find a ROM to give a better performance to the phone. But for my surprise there's not an official version of CM and neither much stable options for this phone, and also I'm kinda lost in this forums due to amount of phones in the same sub forum.
My first question is, which is the most stable and will give me a better performance for the Xperia E Dual?
How is the easiest and complete method for installing? In my tablet I had to root it, install CWM from Play Store, put the .zips in the SD card and flash through CWM. But I have seen that for this phone the process is quite harder, something related with Fastboot and some cmd commands
Can someone provide me some links and fool-proof information to flash a new ROM?
Thanks in advance and greetings from Brazil!
First, Consider Rooting your phone through here http://unlockroot.com
After that unlock your bootloader here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
When doing the rooting I'm sure you already know that Enabling USB debugging and Unknown Sources is a must
Then install CWM and install CM, And of course CM 10 is unofficial build but still works fine and there is a slight error about the Signal carrier labeling "Unknown"
Please hit thanks if i helped
Hey Im Sixthg but call me six. I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-p3113) and flashed my recovery with CWM 6.0.3.7. I have a stock gaming rom and my Original rom backed up. Would it be possible for someone to Customize my rom and change the User Interface? If so, are you willing to do it for free?
Also I would like to keep my downloaded apps when I install custom roms....how would i do that?

Hey there,
I,m new too but i'm not devs here, i'm a noob user so probably i'm not going to help much. If I'm explaining something that you are already know, I apologise.
Yet from my little experience, i did flash the latest recovery CWM 6.0.5.1 (i suggest you try it to flash the latest version available too) and using CM 12 build 20140215 unofficial lollipop version on my P3100. All of them you can found on thread by Android-Andi. Just make sure you download and flash the correct version for your P3113 / probably same as P3110 (*I use P3100).
I can't paste his link of work as its on his signature. BUT, you can found it on "Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development". On his androidfilehost you may find all the necessary files such as latest rom (twrp, cwm, omni, etc) and customize rom for kitkat or lollipop. He also made slim version for both of it. He also help how to do it. But be aware to backup everything first as usual. as what I did was a clean install thus it may not bring back any bugs with it. So it means download all the apps manually. But if you connect the game with google play your data will stay the same (I guess).
Just my 5cents. Sorry if it doesnt help much or didn't answer your questions. Hope someone could explain it better
Best of luck.
No with clockworkmod recovery it is best to have the one Rom manager recommends for a device. And seeing as no roms have been made for p3113 or p3110 I flashed it with the p3100 recovery. The one it downloaded and flashed is 6.0.2.7 because that recovery is meant for p3100. Nightlies I found out are full builds and with the app link2sd you can convert apps to system apps so you do not loss them when flashing a new rom. So thats what I did with my downloaded apps. Now as I have aslo backed up everything. I need to download a working nightly.
Also I would like to know if I could somehow take away the samsung dependency? They have too many apps that are key to my system's functionality.
