Try searching "ROM Manager" on Market

It puts a custom recovery on your SD card which you can use to backup restore and flash roms, the app can be found on the market and does this all for you
The app also allows you to download roms, backup and flash right from the app so you don't have to even touch the recovery yourself
Root access is required
Would definitely recommend it works very well for me
it is a paid app...
its a free app, but theres also a premium license so you can download roms from within rom manager

Why does no one research before posting
Firstly it is a free app, you can choose to get premium
And no you can download roms within the free app, you don't need to pay for that, you only need to pay for ota custom roms and scheduled back UPS
Once rooted do you still need to have your GoldCard in the phone to use this?

No you do not, possibly if you choose to unroot your phone it may be required again
Also you can use it to install rom, theme, zip that is stored on your sd card!
Not sure if this is correct, I was reading a few posts about Rom manager, apparently if you were to save your apps/settings using the free version of rom manager the apps would not be updateable in the market. You would have to have the paid version of rom manager if you want to be able to update your apps. Is this correct

No. It's a bug that happens sometimes (same goes for Titanium). Usually, downloading any app from the Market solves it.

Thanks for your prompt replies here and in the general section too. I will give it a go sometime. Just looking for a decent boot animation first.

I think this is just about the most exhaustive list of boot animations as you'll find.
Which one do you guys prefer? Flashing with Rom manager or flash manually through recovery?
So if I'm right, with the app, I can just do everything from the app which I normally have to do manually by going to fastboot and recovery? It just automates the whole process of:
turning device off
hold vol down and power up
go into recovery
do whatever you would do in recovery

When you tap to flash a rom it asks if you want to wipe. You can also manually reboot into recovery and there is a wipe option in there.

I prefer RM. Easier to switch on the go.
Sorry for bumping this old thread.
But, I have a question.
Can Rom Manager do a FULL wipe of the system? Thus also the boot en system?
i rooted the mt4g and i unrooted it but it still says its rooted even though the s is on. also i deleted all the stupid junk apps that tmobile put on the phone. but if i was to send my phone into tmobile because of something wrong with it i need to know if there is a way to maybe flash the stock rom 2.2.1 back onto the phone so all the apps come back and it doesnt have root access? please let me know i would like to have the option to put it back to stock. thanks

Well just to let you know its a must if your ever going to root your phone.
Download rom manager from the market. Open it up and at the top it says flash clockwork. Click that to flash it. Then scroll down and click make backup.......... That's it. But... You need to make the backup before you make any changes like deleting apps etc..

Is there an easy way to set the recovery back to stock after installing a custom recovery like ClockworkMod?
If you install ClockworkMod recovery just be aware that a lot of people have the problem that the phone will automatically boot into recovery every time you plug in the charger while it's turned off.

I recently rooted my S3 i747 and then installed cyanogenmod 10. Keep in mind I am not a wiz at doing these things, however it did work. Here in lies my problems. 1. I hate this OS with a passion. Its just not what i thought it would be so I would love nothing more than to figure out how to remove it and return to stock firmware or another custom rom. 2. If i stay with this rom (for not being able to figure out how to remove it and install another) I am running out of storage internally. Its a great possibility I could have done something wrong. so with that being said, can anyone help me? I have tried more websites than I care to. thanks so much!
backup?

Well what I did was follow along a youtube video... Which in turn may not have been the best idea. I remember doing some sort of back up on clockwork or something like that. I tried to go to recovery mode and restore but that didnt help. Im not sure what all I did to be honest. :/

edit... Pull the battery on your phone and put it back in. Hold up vol, home button and Power till you see the little words in the top left corner. It should say booting recovery really small. at that point take your finger off of the power button only and it will boot into Recovery.
If you have CWM recovery or TWRP you are golden...
Or else... see below
Find your phone in it's section you should be able to find a method using Odin to flash it back to stock and then you can read up and find the way to do everything you want.
Just do your research and look through the forum for your phone type/carrier and you should be able to find all of the information that you are looking for.
Search and you shall succeed!

why do you guys make things so complicated? the guy wants his phone back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is to go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares. Then put your phone number i9100 in the search box and choose any of the roms below. They are all stock, 2.3/4.x.x etc. The rom is in a zip file, however, you have to extract the tar file inside it.
Power off your phone then, while holding vol down, press and hold power.
Open odin in your pc then connect the phone to pc while being in download mode. press the pda button in odin and insert the .tar rom whoch you have just extracted. press start and you are done.

Well returning to stock is just as easy as finding a stock ROM in his phones thread and flashing it, it'll be better in the long run that way as well because maybe he'll learn something.

Hi,
Yesterday i downloaded SuperSU to my phone, and i delete it (i dont know why ) and after i delete it (from the Settings, not simple Uninstall)
i did Restart to my phone, and i saw that my SuperUser gone, but i still have ROOT access, all of my apps that need Rooted device worked.
After while, i read the discription and i saw that it should be like this, and that SuperSU switch SuperUser, so i downloaded it again.
So lets go to the point:
If i have stock ROM and stock Recovery, i can do Full Unroot from the SuperSU Settings? as i said, all completely stock, only ROOTED device, LG G2 D802.
I can do it without any problems? for sure?
Thank you so much !

I did with the same set-up as you and it worked fine. I lost my root access and tested with skygo which is very particular about not working with root and I could stream again using this.
I have supersSU pro which may make a difference.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve? I was referring to having a stock rom and recovery installed before rooting the device to perform some tweeks then unrooting it again. The reason that I unrooted again was so that I could use skygo which requires an un-rooted device. I have moved onto the G3 now but, as far as I can remember, the only way to return to a stock recovery is to return your device to completely stock by flashing a kdz. If you tell me exactly what you are trying to achieve I may be able to be of more help.

My phone still says root in download mode and cannot run LG software update. I have stock ROM and recovery. Others say they have the same problem but no replies. Can anyone help?
I'm curious too. What I did was used Super User and did that "Clean Unroot" method and after I pressed it, it cleared and the app was gone. But, I had a back up of my stock before doing this and deleted all other roms and downloaded all my pics and wallpapers to my computer. But I don't know if I'm unrooted. How would I check that? I can still go to the play store and install Superuser, is that normal or shouldn't it not install?
There's another method which involves installing the LG flash tool, and a Stock factory firmware. Should I do that method or am I fine with the Superuser?
What's up everyone. I swapped my iPhone for an S5 that has MOAR ROM installed. The guy reflashed the phone clean when we swapped and when it booted back up I have no phone icon. I can get calls if someone calls me, but I have no icon to make a call and the lock screen icon doesn't work.
Is there any way to just flash an apk file vs. having to reflash and set everything up again?
Thanks in advance.

flash n12 kernel
boot into recovery via safestrap
flash rom
boot into download mode
flash oa8 kernel

Do a full wipe before you install the ROM (everything but SD card). I did not go back into download mode and flash the OA8 kernel. I just let it boot right up and it worked great.
Ok so I flash the n12 kernel to get into safestrap, do a full wipe, flash the rom, flash the oa8 kernel then reboot. Where in Odin do I put the kernel?

Kernels go in the ap slot. After you flash MOAR, don't do anything else. Just let your phone boot itself up.
