Flashing stock rom.
Bro, are you trying to flash back to stock Samsung ROM? if so just google the Model number of your phone followed by stock rom
EG: GT-i9500 Stock ROM.
Okay then Put it onto your SD Card (extSD or intSD) and flash the rom the way you normally would
But next time Do this then you can revert instantly:
1.)Download a APPLICATION BACKUP APPLICATION ie:Titanium Backup
NB: DO THIS WHILST ON STOCK ROM!
Enter recovery Mode (im using CWM in this instance)
2.)Scroll down to "backup and restore"
3.)Enter and select "backup"
NOW YOUR ROM IS BACKED UP (WITHOUT APPS (HENCE WHY WE DOWNLOADED A BACKUP UTILITY))
4.)Next time just backup and restore from that backup you made and install the apps you had using your backup utility
Enjoy your day, Hope this helped!

I have installed lite'ning rom, but I need to completely restore i.e. remove root, remove CWM..etc
any pointers where to start?
p.s. I have downloaded the stock rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Wipe data/cache from CWM recovery
Flash the rom you downloaded.
wouldn't that keep CWM though?
I'm guessing it won't after resetting phone to factory settings.

In samsung land the recovery joined with the kernel, so flashing a stock rom with a stock kernel will remove CWM.
if it's not clear, you have to wipe data/cache and then flash the rom via Odin or Heimdall.
I would recommend you flashing VillainRom 1.1 if you want to stay on the custom side of life.. or buying a usb-jig if you want to send it in for service or so.

I have the international i9500 and i wanna install a custom rom (AOKP to be exact)
now my question is can i backup the official samsung rom and then return to it using recovery?
if i can so which recovery should i use? (CWM or TWRP)
i'm asking that because i couldn't backup the official samsung rom on any other device i had (S1 and S2 i9100) but maybe i did something wrong!
Anyone?

Afaik I don't think you can literally backup any ROM. U have to have a flashable copy of it be it .tar or .zip and just backup apps

You can try to backup in newest CWM.

You can do this from both type of recovery. Take backup on external sd card and save it to some where on HDD.
Yes flash a custom recovery (cwm etc) and backup from within there. If you ever need to reinstall, restore it also from cwm recovery and flash stock recovery and that's it. Burn to fully stock.

I think yes.. you can back up.. (maybe Im not sure with this one)
But before restoring your back up from stock and you are coming from aokp make sure that you flash first stock rom in odin to avoid problems..
The answer is No, you can't back up your stock unrooted rom.
You can however root it, install a custom recovery and backup the rooted rom on your phone. You will need to check if it was backed up on your internal drive 1st before flashing as you will loose it if you wipe the data on your phone.
You can also go to Sammobile.com and see if they have your rom there. Go to the firmware part then check your firmware at the top . It will ask you for you device (I9500) and country then give you the latest firmware available. You will need to register to download these roms...

You don't have to be rooted to flash / use a custom recovery. Therefore he can backup without rooting his device.
I did it myself before I rooted / customised my stock rom.

After rooting, I backup my stock rom to a external card before I start messing around. Just restore using CWM when u have a corrupted S4.
I have been a Samsung Galaxy Y user for more than a year. I have to say that this device is awesome. But.... I have later noticed 2 problems.
1) One day I tried to install Elegance ROM. I followed all steps very carefully and when the installation was done, I rebooted my phone. Unfortunately, my phone booted up again at Samsung stock firmware. I tried to enter recovery mode because I wanted to see what went wrong, but I was automatically redirected to CWM recovery. I tried once again to install Elegance ROM, and the result was the same. From that day, CWM is my default recovery. Why? How to fix this??? I can't access stock recovery and I also cannot install any custom ROMs. How to fix this?
2) Even my SD card is full with songs, photos and videos, the "Gallery" and "Music" apps don't read any file. Why? How to fix this?
P.S. I'm running stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Thanks for help.

You have a permanent cwm because you are using a custom kernel with a permanent cwm - probably was included in the rom zip
If you want stock recovery flash stock kernel (can be found in general section or flash hells fusion #50 from dev section and select option to flash stock kernel)
you would of remained on stock rom after flashing another rom because you didn't mount system in cwm before you flashed the zip
As for your other problem flash stock rom via odin as you have probably mucked something up from flashing zips incorrectly
So.... If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to access stock recovery and flash CWM every time I want?
By the way, this mess with the files started when I changed my phone's SIM card. When I turned my ohine on again, I opened by mistake the "Galery" app. I noticed that no images were there. I also thought that the "music" might also had the same problem. And that's what happened. Which Odin version I will need?
Thanks again.

Yes stock kernel = stock recovery and you can flash a temporary cwm
there is no problems with a permanent cwm in custom kernels as you need cwm to flash roms
If you goto phone settings about phone it will show you your current baseband - for example mine is xxlf3
You can either download that stock rom firmware from dokys thread if there or any other from your country
Thanks everybody. You are all really helpful. I appreciate your help. But tell me, do I need to mount system before installing Elegance? And while I'm having a custom kernel installed, can I flash roms or I need the stock kernel?
Thanks again.

Follow instructions on the op of the rom you want to flash
you must always mount system before flashing a zip else nothing will happen - you can flash zips all day and no changes would happen as it can't write to system as it's not mount!
As a general rule
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
mount system
mount data
mount cache
flash zip
format data (not always required just for some roms)
restart
you do not need to go back to stock to change rom
There are guides in general section - please read them first then you would understand the process

A few months ago, I installed Creed 3.5 ROM. It was awesome. I want to install it again but tell me:
Can I install it while I have a custom kernel installed? If yes, do I need to mount system before installing? Thanks for help

I refer you to my previous post in this thread
wipe data system cache
mount everything
flash rom
you can use any compatible kernel
The problem with the files is caused by the sdcard

Stock kernel can be flashed by downloading hells fusion #50 kernel from dev section
when you flash hells fusion #50 kernel in cwm with system mounted select step 1 to flash stock kernel
Backup and restore options are found in cwm
simply select backup to backup
and restore & select backup date to restore

make a back up of your stock rom via cwm
download stock kernel from this link

extract its boot.img put it in the root of sdcard then download kernel update.zip you would be able to find it in xda put this also in the root of the sdcard.
to come back to stock first flash kernel update.zip after that reboot your device and see which kernel is there in settings if its dell something then reboot into cwm recovery in restore option click advance restore and then restore everything except boot one by one.

Download a stock ROM from sammobile and flash it using Odin. Odin doesn't wipe anything so your data will remain intact.

Sure, but you would have to get the right SystemUI file, make sure the commands are correct, and then hope that it works. Downloading the stock ROM from sammobile is easier since you simply install it using Odin, and you're done. Besides, you should ALWAYS have a copy of your stock ROM on your hard drive, just for these types of problems.

Well first of all, you should be using TWRP as Clockworkmod is no longer maintained and cannot handle some ROMs. Secondly, TWRP allows you to make the backups on the MicroSD card, unlike Clockworkmod. That said, how did you make a flashable zip of your ROM using Clockworkmod? That's not a feature of any recovery I know of. Making a nandroid backup, on the other hand, IS a feature of custom recoveries, and if you did make a nandroid backup, you simply restore that and you're good to go.
thanks bro
