Root [ROM]Bone Stock & Stock Deodex ROM's Triumph-Now Resets Splash.img!!

thanks. Just wanted to mention this in case anyone else runs into the problem. I just tried flashing the Complete Stock Triumph ROM using the orange CWM 4.0.1.4 and the phone wouldn't boot. Had to get the wife's phone back to stock so I could go exchange it. So I updated to 5.0.2.6 and reflashed the stock rom and it now boots fine. So possibly there may be an issue when flashing using the old cwm--or it was just a bad flash. Just in case anyone else tries this and runs into the same problem, try flashing using the updated cwm.

is the deodex rom rooted?

EDIT: running gingerbreak is safe right?

Nah neither are rooted. And yeah gingerbreak will work. These are 100% stock(except for the deodexed one being deodexed) right down to the /hidden partition and it even flashes the stock kernel and splash image.

Flash this and put the stock recovery on and it's like you pulled it out of the box.

Maybe make a different ROM for the recovery replacement, I'm sure not everyone who wants to move back to stock want's to replace CWM.

EDIT: Does anyone happen to have the stock recovery? I'd probably be fine sending back my faulty unit back with CWM on it, but I don't want to risk getting charged for another Triumph over something dumb like that. :)

Quick question. I will be selling my Triumph to a friend next month. Instead of flashing this complete stock rom, Is it possible to restore my own stock backup and then perform a factory reset with CWM so he can activate it on his account? Or will CWM factory reset wipe out everything?
thanks for making this, by the way :)

CWM factory reset isn't the same as a stock factory reset like you are thinking. So no, that won't work.

So just to be clear. To get back to 'out of box' status:

Boot into CWM and install the linked stock rom
From CWM flash the stock recovery
Reboot

I should be back to stock and all working? I should be back to the stock recovery and unrooted?

A new owner will be able to activate as normal via VM.

THANKS! for all your hard work.
