Go to solution Solved by LIGISTX,

Ok cool, Thanks.

Its not that easy actually. I mean it is in theory, buuuttttt. its not. I tried cyanogenmod and loved it, but my phone had a dead pixel so I wanted to put it back to stock to take back to ATT. almost bricked my phone, it wasn't even a day old. Its not very easy to revert back to stock, but, there is a rom that is called I believe android revolution HD (I am not sure tho, its been a wile) but they make it basically exactly like sense, but they trim it down a bit and make it "better". So that is what I ended up doing to give it back to ATT, I loaded that on their, they couldn't tell the difference, and I was good.

 

But just be warned, I did almost brick my phone trying to go back to stock and trying to relock the bootloader. I ended up with no OS on my phone, no OS to load, and a messed up custom recovery. Was able to put a new custom recovery on it and sideload an OS from cmd on my computer. Not sure what exactly went wrong, but just letting you know my experience.
