Hi everyone,
I want to revert to stock to do the upgrade to the Charge but I am currently rooted and running ComRom. Is there a way to revert to stock without odin and I only have a mac (bootloader issues while in download mode for the fassy)?
Thanks!

Hi
After installing I9100XWKE7_Kernel.tar, the device didn't reset by himself.
I turned it on and i ran SuperOneClick, the process stack at 'running psneuter'.
Can somebody help?
Your trying to root stock ke7? If so you must flash an insecure kernal, root then reflash stock kernal to retain root.

If I odin back to stock jfd, will this turn my phone back to factory before I rooted it? Thanks

Yes it will.
Yes, It will be same as your brand new phone. No Root no additional apps installed.
hey all
i need to return my phone back to t-mobile for a replacement. I want to unroot and get it back to stock.
now i know how to use odin to go back, Its just the files I see on some of the thread are down.
does any one know where can i get all the files needed to odin back to original t-mobile state?
Just download the AIO Toolbox. Has Odin 1.8 (I think that is the version), the pit/tar files and drivers. Links in OP should be up again.
Thanks.
Well apparently the toolbox doesn't work connecting do the phone had to open odin from toolbox and then downgrade and flash stock.
Thanks again

I need to return my Note back to stock. I rooted my Note back in Feb. the night I got it so I never did the official ICS update through OTA or Kies. Do I have to return back to GB that I started with or can I get by with flashing a stock ICS ROM, counter reset, and finaly Odin flash the stock recovery?
I appriciate any info ya'll guys are willing to provide.
ICS is the new stock... flash it.

Thanks! I have read several posts of people going all the way back to GB then doing the update to ICS through Kies. That seemed a little redundant and figured I'd ask lol. I assume all I need to do then is to flash the stock ICS rom, reset counter and then stock recovery (odin). Thanks again.

I think I misunderstood you. I thought you were asking which OS to use in order to be stock... not how to accomplish getting stock ICS on your phone. In any case I think if you are stock GB or stock ICS, Kies will work. But if you are running a custom/deodex version of GB/ICS, Kies will not work. That's probably what everyone was trying to tell you. So if you are running a custom ROM, you are going to need to flash a stock version of GB/ICS before Kies will work.

I gotcha. Actually been running JB for a while. Started of with GB which is when I rooted. Just didn't know if I had to go back to that or if I could just flash a stock 4.0.4 ROM before I retuned it for warranty (USB port issue). Bottom half of my screen doesn't register touch while charging.

But does your USB issue affect the use of Odin? Be my first concern.
I don't believe it would. I can connect and is recognized on the computer and I can transfer files between phone and PC. I just have to unplug the cable from the phone in order for the screen to recognize touches around the lower half of screen

Should be good to go then. I would Odin flash stock GB, reset and double check the flash counter. Check for Kies connectivity and pending ICS update availability. Throw a bunch of random apps on to give an appearance of use. Return for warranty all while pretending Android is a great mystery to you, even though we know that's not the case. Best of luck.
Resolved! I went ahead and took the following steps.
Flashed the stock rar file (GB) through Odin
Flashed cwm touch recovery through Odin
Flashed stock (GB) modern through touch recovery
Flashed reset counter through touch recovery
Used ADB to install stock recovery (did not trip counter this way).
Now completely stock (GB), I connected to kies and updated to stock official ICS 4.0.4.
All set to return it for warranty!!!
Thanks for helping out guys!

I was using Blackbox. I installed it incorrectly. No root or safe strap. no stock recovery either, lots of force closes. Also the boot sound was inappropriate. So I tried downgrading back to 4.3 so I could get back to 4.4 and stay rooted. Something went wrong in the process. Now it won't boot. Now when I turn the phone on, it says i need to open up Kies. I can still get into download mode though Any ideas?
If you can get into download mode all you need to do is grab odin and a copy of the NC5 stock ROM and reload. I've had to do that twice for stupid mistakes I've made rooting and modifying 4.4.2. Don't forget to towelroot after you're done loading the ROM.
I used a pit file for an mk2 keep data downgrade. Also, for an AP file it says it needs to be an xml file. The nc5 file isn't xml.. Feels like I am missing something.
I'm not sure what I did to get to the state my phone was in. I am trying to keep the mk2 bootloader, but I am getting a fail when it tries to write the cache file.
You will probably have to do the wipe version since you will be coming from a different rom other than stock

I have been in a similar state. I can get back to stock using Gigilies full downgrade file but I can't use the full wipe or keep data wipe method. Odin fails at aboot.
You should be able to downgrade even if it says you need to use Kies. Pull the battery, do like you are going into download mode, it will still say you need kies but Odin will recognize your phone (you are in download mode as far as Odin knows). Flash Gigilies full downgrade file (if you used his method to upgrade. If you didn't it still might be worth a try) and you should be stock 4.3 You might have to flash his nc2 to mk2 boot tar file or his nc5 to mk2 boot tar file first. Try that if the full downgrade doesn't work.
I managed to downgrade back to 4.3, using surge's method. I rerooted 4.3 and updated using surge's method and got an error 7 on the phone, not odin. It boot looped after. So I downgraded back 4.3 (surge)
Strange that method worked the first the time but not now

Try Gigilie's. You just flash one file to either upgrade or downgrade. Per his method you use Safestrap 3.72, install a 4.4.2 rom, boot into download mode via safestrap, flash his file via odin, and let it boot up into your rom. From there you can install 4.4.2 roms but need to flash the supersu file and a wifi module fix file after each install. You then can go back and forth from 4.3 to 4.4.2 by flashing a downgrade boot file or upgrade boot file. Might be worth a shot.
Error 7 appears to be caused by a rom that is not compatible with your phone. Almost like the upgrade didn't take. If you want to use Gigilie's method I would do a full downgrade (via his method), reroot, install safestrap 3.72. install a 4.4.2 rom and follow the instructions above about doing a full upgrade.

Are you suggesting I update my boot loader to nc5 from mk2?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Not at all. You can, however, run 4.4.2 Roms via Gigilies method and be able to upgrade and downgrade to run either 4.3 or 4.4.2 Roms much as apparently you were doing before and without actually upgrading.
Nc2 seems to work better for me but do nc5 if you like

What do you like better about nc2 vs nc5?

I'm talking about Gigilies method and I'm going by his comments that the nc2 method seems to work better. You can still run nc5 roms from it if I am not mistaken.
