Hey guys. I am aware of search function and I am aware there are few threads that provide links to various stock rom packages and recoveries. I will be honest, I am actually a noob trying to go back to stock ROM. I have been using custom ROMS since months. I am not really impressed by ROMs performance after a while and thought of going back to stock(at least it has a better camera app). I have went through those threads but I could not understand or they could not provide the info I was looking for. There are different KIWL21 models, one is for UK and the other one is for Middle east. How am I supposed to know which one is right for my phone?
My goal is to: Revert back to Stock ROM, EMUI 4 with MM update keeping TWRP(if possible).
Therefore, I am opening this thread to ask for a very straightforward guidance. I am sorry to bother you guys again with this kind of thread. Personally speaking, I am going to miss these custom ROMs, their clean looks. I was never a fan of EMUI. All I am doing it is because of a camera because lately I have been using camera alot.
Didnt you save a backup before you flashed ? Use the search function next time I am not going to spoon feed you https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/discussion-rollback-package-various-t3675038

I had a backup but it got deleted accidentally. I downloaded B140 debloated update from gopi. I am not sure if its the right version
It shouldn't make any difference as longs as its l21, country information is usually stored in cust

Best regards from Bosnia and Herzegovina to all of you

I think to suggest a ROM, people would need to know what you dislike about the original ROM. As of now I think there are no official new ROMs from HTC, which would be the truly "easy" ROMs.
If you just want to play around a bit, just give the ROMs a shot that are here in this forum. You can always go back to your original (or maybe need to back it up, dunno if for bosnia & herzegowina an official ROM is out there).
Maybe a good place to start is here:

Greetings from Taiwan (from a German who is missing the great Bosnian / Serbian / Croatian food that was pretty abundant in Germany)
I'd also like to point out that this part of the forum is for ROM development not for requests. I think the General forum is the best place to make requests.
As for what you want, yellowfever is absolutely right, we cant possible tell you the easiest ROM to use as each of us may have a different opinion.
If you want my opinion look at the ROMs, they all have screenshots, if you like the look of it flash it, if you like it, great! If you dont like it, flash a different one. Just dont forget to back-up you phone first. grab the SPB Backup demo. It's a real time saver.
Hey guys, so I just ordered an Eris which I intend to use on MetroPCS.
I just want to make sure that I'm doing all this in the correct order..
So, fist thing is that I need to make sure that the phone has 2.1 on it in order to use the 1 click root solution(love )
-Though if my phone isn't 2.1..how do I upgrade without rooting so that I can root?
Next, I need to choose a rom to use. I found the read first sticky listing all the most current roms and radios and other info on how to actually install them.
-Though, since the thread is closed are they really all the latest?
Lastly, I need to Flash (not sure if that is actually the correct terminology) the phone's settings over to Metro using the file found here.
I think that's the basic direction that I need to take. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
I am in the dark about a couple things, though I'm not sure I need to understand them.
I know the kernel is a central part of the OS, but doesn't it come with the rom you choose? Why would you need to flash the Kernel, is it just to update your rom without actually changing your rom?
Also, what's with recovery images and what's an RUU?
Finally, how do I pick a rom that's right for me!? There seem to be so many and I'm not sure which are the most recent/functional/fast..
Anyway, you guys are awesome for all you do and I hope that this thread can be useful to someone besides just me.
Thanks again!!

Probably once you get the phone it will already have the 2.1 official OS or you can update it through the Settings and have it check for updates. I would suggest that you try xtrSense. I have no clue on the Metro settings though but I would imagine once you get a good ROM flashed that all you have to do is to just install the settings.
Thanks, yeah..I think that link that I posted takes care of the metro settings..at least it says it does.
I didn't think I would be able to do an over the air update because I was assuming that it was DL'd from a verizon server. Does the update to 2.1 come from a typical internet source that can be accessed from any network?
Hi Guys,
I would like to ask you a question.
I just got the lastest updated from viewsonic for my gtbab. This upgrade includes some improvements such as : support for mouse and keyboard usb,french and spanish language , full flash support...
So at this point.. I am wondering...is still a good idea to install a custom rom?
If so, could you please point out what real advantages I can get once installed a custom rom?
It's important for me if it is worth to do it. So I need your real expertise in the subject.
Thanks
ralex76,
It really just depends on what meets your needs.
The current stock ROM -- 1.2.4349 -- is way improved from the old software we got
back last November. But it still does not have Market and some of the little fixes
the devs have come up with here.
I would note that roebeet already has posted that he will not be too long in posting
a new version of his TwoTapsX alternate ROM based on the new update. I am sure
he will build Market and fixes into it just like he has all his ROMs in the past (though
I can't speak for him). So that will make it a pretty close alternative to stock with
everything in it.
Then, there's Vegan, Gingerbread, Calkulin and a whole host of other ROMs with a
wide variety of looks and features.
The choice is yours based on (1) what you like and want, and (2) how much risk
to you want to take in learning to flash ROMs (and if needed troubleshoot, etc.)
I tell all new folks to go slow, read hugely here, notice what mistakes everyone
else is making so you don't make them yourself -- and have fun!!!
Rev
I think you just need to search around and look at the benefits of each ROM and compare it to your tablet. We don't know how and for what you are using your tab, so it is up to you if a ROM is more suitable for your situaion.
I think if you are fine with the stock ROM and don't see anything that you would want differently, don't bother flashing something else.
Also, make sure to look at Roebeets post regarding the newest OTA update!
Hi!
I've been an android user for a year now (and never looked back!). I've been playing with the idea of root, but never got around before. I used to have a Nexus 5, but now a Z2.
I've unlocked my bootloader, but then it's all a bit confusing to me. I've been reading for hours in here, but it seems to make me more confused I keep finding new threads linking to another new thread, and they all seem to introduce new words and phrases I'm not quite familiar with
I want my phone to be rooted (because of the opportunities), and I would love to have my Z2 closest possible to my Nexus5 on the software side.
1 - If I understand correctly, what I need is a ROM close to the AOSP software(?) If so, can you point me in the right direction?
2 - I've installed the Sony Mobile Flasher, and downloaded an FTF file from this thread Is the FTF my backup to revert to if I for some reason need to go back to stock? If so, will everything work like before?
3 - I also read about something called recovery? What is this in relation to all this?
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in some sort of direction, before I get more lost in here I need to get started somewhere, to get a better understanding of these terms and processes! Thanks for any help!

1. AOSP roms are base android which nexus runs google android which is literely aosp with google apps so yes aosp roms are what your looking for
with aosp roms you will need to flash a gapps package to have things such as playstore, and such
- you do need a unlocked bootloader
2.you can use flashtool from flashtool.net to flash FTFs incase you need to do a total reset
3. recovery menu is what you use to flash your rom or backup or other things
any questions.. just ask
Hello dear Elephants, I'm really honoured to belong here because of my new Elephone S8. I really love the hardware but software is really buggy. So, referring to https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-s8/development/rom-elephone-s8-15-10-eragon-1-0-t3689359, is that a good idea to replace the firmware? If some of you is using this ROM, you can also provide me the pros and cons. Many thanks in advance!
If you're familiar with such things, going from stock to custom and back is pretty simple. Why not just give it a test drive?
I'm not so familiar. I've been flashing lots of ROMs in my lifetime but not into this particular device. Which method do I use to flash firmware?
Will I die, if I flash the Eragon ROM from Elephone's firmware update section?
If you're going to run a custom ROM, spending a couple of hours reading through the thread for that ROM might be worth your time, as it will contain the answers to many of your questions and possibly save you from some future troubles.
Thanks! Will do as you say.
I used eragon rom for a few months but the developer has withdrawn from the project and the latest version is not really stable. I had some network problems and some weeks ago I got problems with massive battery drain of about 15% per hour without any heavy usage. The only thing that helped was to go back to stock. Since then I'm on stock rom again and everything is fine now. I don't experience any major differences in performance.
Anyway I hope the developer will continue his work on the S8 and eragon rom in the future, at least if android 8 will be released.
How to revert back to Stock Rom? (From Eragon)

You can download the latest stock version here:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?m...ra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=151&typeid=151
Unpack the rar file and load the scatter file with flashtool. Be careful which boxes are checked in the list. I accidently deleted all data (including external memory) from the phone because this option was checked by default!
Edit: I have corrected the link above, the first one did not work.
You can also download on Mega with the following link:
