Hey I was just wondering how do I restore to stock MJ5 ROM? Stock ROM with stock recovery and kernel?
Why don't you give us more information, It's free to write
If you made a backup it's as easy as restore from recovery..
If you didn't make a backup flash the Odin file that contains mj5 rom and kernel..

I'm completely stock now (Stock ROM, kernel & recovery) and I have yet to make a backup. If I were to install a custom rom with a custom kernel & recovery, how would I restore to stock MJ5 from there?

What I can understand is that you're currently on stock mj5 and want to try custom rom then return back to stock.. Right ?
So okay install a custom rom whatever you want then return to stock by Odin.. But keep in mind that if you have a knox bootloader and installed a custom thing to the phone you will trigger 0x1 which can't be undone. .
Good luck. .

Flash stock kernel then use toolbox to provide dual recovery and restore your data.
thanks for the replies but perhaps you didnt understand my problem...i cant go back to stock 2.1 rom which is necessary for flashing any kernel. so i cant flash stock kernel or dual mode recovery.

Mind to elaborate why you CAN'T flash back to 2.1? What's keeping you?
simply put after i flashed alfs kernel i got cwm recovery installed. i didnt make a backup of stock rom. so after installing gingerdx v013 i now have no way of reverting back to stock without flashing a ftf file which i really dont want to do.

Ok, if you don't want to flash back through the 2.1 FTF image you're somewhat out of options ... as the only way to "go Stock" from a custom Kernel and custom ROM is ...
... Flash back Stock Kernel (that only works through Flashtool - irakkarl has a link to the stock kernel FTF in his FroyoPro thread).
... Flash back Stock 2.1.1 through either PC Companion ("Repair" - which will most likely fail with "No updates available" due to the higher version of the custom ROM) or through Flashtool using the ROM FTF.
I think you also need to relock the bootloader.

Well on my cwm recovery when I go to backup and restore then restore there is an option that says restore from xrecovery, and that's how I do it.

He's not asking to go back to full stock, he's asking how to go back to stock rom 2.1 from his xrecovery backup. Read it carefully.

you dont have alfs kernel installed so you wouldnt really understand my situation. but anyways thanks for your suggestion. not being rude
and bjay just suggested an option open for me. no need to bash him like that.

which sounded more like a bashing
but we're not here to fight on trivial matters....so umm any chance somebody backed up his eclair system in cwm recovery. please upload it to 4shared.com and post the link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431231 here you have the cwm backup,but,it will not change your kernel,you need to useflashtool,please read it carreful,when i posted that link i knew what you need ,remember you need flashtool to flash the kernel there is no other way.cheers
edit:you can change the kernel ,you don't need 2.1 eclair for that,you need ftf kernel file and that's all.
Verry simple
To restore a xrec backup in cwm just rename the xrecovery folder from sd card to cwmrecovery
Leave a thanks if I helped

Go into recovery.
Flash a GB kernel (franco in my case)
reboot into recovery (do not boot into android: menu: Advanced->reboot recovery)
flash GB rom, of restore backup. (backup in my case)
reboot
Worked for me.
I was on ICS. went back to GB using the above method.
Ah kernel first. Okay illl give it a shot thanks

Yes, because then you will have a GB compatible Recovery.

Either stock ROM or cooked. If you use stock, you will have to root again, so make sure you use a stock rom which can actually be rooted or you'll have to flash another. I think it's just easiest to go straight to a cooked ROM.

You cannot flash a stock rom through Recovery, you'll need Odin to flash a Stock ROM.
can i flash stock rom through cwm

Yeah why not.Search the development section or the general section.
Yes and no
you can flash any rom through cwm but it wont be an actuall stock rom firmware - think of it as an unmodified custom rom
the only way to actually flash stock rom or change your baseband is to flash the stock rom firmware via odin

CWM can flash any rom, but if stock rom is likely a CUSTOCK rom, not a original stock rom
Press Thanks if helped
thanks

You cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 and if you have a 4.3
nandroid backup you cannot restore it either.
You will only be able to upgrade or flash 4.4.2 roms and newer
versions of android roms/firmwares.
Oh, one more thing there is no such thing as "denox" LOL
Good luck!

Yeah you can flash Stock via ODIN or you can install CWM/TWRP and use a custom recovery. -- Make sure REACTIVATION LOCK is OFF before you do anything or it won't work.
Hello everyone so I installed lean kernel on my SM-N900W8 Note 3 and of course I didn't backup the original kernel. So I was wondering if anyone could provide my with a download of the stock SM-N900W8 kernel as I want to go back to it. Thanks in advance!
All of the Samsung stock ROMs are at sammobile.com.

But I want to try to avoid wiping the device totally, or will I be able to install the ROM without fully wiping my device?
You can extract the kernel from the stock rom.
I think it is a good idea to have a copy of the stock rom in case there is a need to flash back to a stock rom.

Would you be able to tell me how to extract it? I already have a copy of the rom.
Edit - Never mind I got it, Thanks for the help!
If lean kernel has aroma installer then there should be a feature of going back to stock kernel If not then:-
Try pekaka kernel where you've feature of aroma installer and there's a step to revert back to stock kernel.
I usually uses same method to revert back to stock. After that keep backup of your kernel
