Hello, is there a way to dump the firmware you have on your i9100?
I want a full rollback on my phone and my wife have the same phone but with stock firmware.
(I running a Root KF3)
So, is it possible to dump her firmware and install it on my phone?
OR, is it possible to do an emergency firmware download via a Samsung program or something that will get me back to stock?
Flash cwm recovery, take backup, restore. But then you need to flash stock recovery.. If you are running an easily obtainable fw, why don't you just flash that? SamFirmware had must versions, same here.

I want to grab some software off a stock galaxy ace from the same provider as mine. However, before I root it and install CWM, I want a way to revert it to Android system recovery <3e>. Obviously, I cannot back up the stock phone, it's unrooted and has no CWM recovery backup yet, and once I install CWM, it won't have the stock recovery anymore. Any way to get the stock system recovery?

There's no flashable zip or whatever .
All you need to do is to flash any firmware via ODIN

If u flash any stock rom ,u will get your stock recovery back =D
Where can I get a stock rom for the device, though? I can't take a backup to make my own without CWM...I assume I could learn to use Odin with a tutorial somewhere, but Odin can't take a backup, can it?
sammobile.com
Nice site. I don't suppose the Europe or Asia firmwares will work in North America, though? (Canada).
So I probably should of asked this before flashing but anyways, I flashed CWM to my tablet and I am about to flash aokp to it but I was wondering if I was going to go to back to complete stock again does it matter what stock 3.2 recovery I use to get official updates? I did make a nandroid backup so I am not to worried about getting a stock OS but its just the stock recovery that bothers me.
For the record I have a Canadian WIFI 16 gig tablet.
Official updates...? Odin is the only official update you need! :] Just so you know, you can't completely revert to stock unless it's for that specific firmware, only way to do that is by a clean flash to avoid all the un-necessary bricks and such.
Nandroid backup does not exist on stock and last I checked the recovery and CWM do the same job of "Applying update.zip" so it shouldn't matter, it's the firmware's regional value that matters, not the recovery.
So if I were to do a restore of my nandroid backup (from CWM) then that means that I would be able to get the notice that I would be able to update to the latest official firmware from Samsung no problem?
As long as you don't use Cus ROM's then yes.
I was wondering if you can flash the stock recovery while running the Pure Stock Rom? I have read the return to stock thread and can not make heads or tails out of it. One says if you do it this way you still can't Update back to ICS. Another Says You can but you have to add Something to the process. The Radio I think. Is there a clear cut way to return the Note back to stock and be able to update it back to ICS? Or can you just flash the Pure Stock Rom and flash the Stock Recovery that came with the Phone when it had GB on it?
Pure stock from bigfau is rooted ..
Odin .tar is not...
Flash .tar rom via odin ..
Then flash your stock radio via CWM (flash CWM)
Flash counter reset via CWM
Then flash the stock 3e recovery in CWM
Then reboot ...
You will then be able to get update ...as you will be pure stock...g
Hi!
As the title says, where can i find the latest official/stock (or close to stock) Samsung ROM in a recovery zip format?
I have a carrier independent I9300 (it's a second hand phone, don't know if it was or wasn't sim locked originally), with latest CM11 nightly at the moment with TWRP recovery, but i want to test the speed and functionality of the stock ROM.
I'm not too familiar with ODIN or KIES, that's why i need in "zip via recovery" format.
If flash via recovery, do i have to mind about the EFS partition?
Sorry for the noob questions, but i new in the S3 scene
@pappt: flashing with Odin is no witchery: go to the download section of sammobile.com to find your firmware and follow the short instruction, given there.
Or take NCS ROM instead: heavily debloated newest firmware, shows what Touchwiz is able to.
How do I reflash a stock ROM via custom recovery (TWRP) onto my phone?
Reason being I want to keep my apps and data intact while resetting the system files only.
I'm able to download the stock firmware from Sammobile but they are Odin-flashable files. I don't think they'd work with TWRP - or would they?
Model : i9205 LTE
OS : 4.2.2 (Don't intend to upgrade - not entirely my phone)
