already tried
no matches
my firm is from brazil
i tried for other brazil brand but it reboot sometimes
It is possible to dump modem from the SGA with stock firm??

All I can think of it get clockworkmod, make a Nandroid backup and transfer the sd card to restore at the other phone.

1-root with cf-root for you firmware using Odin.
2-boot into recovery and do a cwm backup or use the cwm app that installs with cf root to do the same.
3-if you want to go back to stock flash the original kernal using Odin and use a download mode jig to reset counter to hide flashing.
4-if you use a custom rom restore backup then do the above step.
You can find plenty of how-to's on any if the above points on this forum or by Googling it.

Ok. To flash the original kernal you will need to get it from the intratech thread. He had them all I think. This will remove the custom kernal and, assuming you are still on stock firmware everything is stock again.
As for the jig, when you flash a non stock kernal, there is a counter which shows when you go into download mode. Samsung put this in to see if you had flashed anything if you return it for warranty. The jig plugs into the phones USB/charging port and clears it so Samsung knows ****. I bought one off eBay for $2 delivered.

Firstly, this is a dev forum, Does it resemble absolutely anything like a Q&A or general forum or even a forum you should be creating a topic in?
Second, There is an abundance of data on how to flash, go check stickies etc. If you have flashed ICS then you can flash GB, its the exact same process.
thanks for your responses.
im from colombia, and my english is poor
restore your backup if you made one!!
wipe data/cache/dalvic/ restore
Just reboot in recovery, wipe everything. If you have a rom on your sdcard just flash it. If not use the restore method if you have a backup. Simple as that

Install Kernel CF-Root, install rom from SDCard or Install Stock rom from ODIN

[Q] Help! How to remove CWM from S2

Hi,
I just got my Android and happened to Root it with a firmware containing CWM because I really had no clue as to what it was. Now I would want to be able to remove this icon CWM from my phone. I have tried flashing the kernel to no avail. Please help me with a step by step procedure to remove it since I'm absolutely new to Androids. My S2 runs gingerbread 2.3.6. I did check the web but am so confused with all the options provided.
Thanks in advance.
flash stock rom usin odin simple
It is strongly recommended to back up stock ROM before u give try to Custom ROM.
*#1234# - Check your Firmware version before u do Rooting and make a note some where
You can use those information to download your STOCK ROM from many website (google them)

Since you are rooted, use any file explorer with root access and delete the cwm manager.apk.
Second option is use root un-installer and uninstall the cwm manager

in some Firmwares CWM is included in system applications, so cant simply uninstall it, you can use Titanium backup application to uninstall system apps,
But before uninstalling better you learn more about Rooting and the functions of this app and other root apps. This is a very usefull app in the rooted and Clockwork mod installed devices, for rebooting into recovery easily, kernel flashing, backing up of the Rom ect..
you can have informations from below sticky thread as well as from my signature links.

Thanks guys for your prompt responses. I will try and flash the stock rom and let you know if it work. Thanks again

Yes you will need to remove root so flash Sam firmware with mobile Odin and don't root. Now back to stock. :thumbup:

Thanks for replying andrewwright!! (you too "theunderling"!!:angel
I haven't actually installed CWM yet and came here to clear my this doubt.
Why Sam Firmware (if Sam = Samsung) while my device is XOLO q800? Can I take a backup of my my stock firmware in some way because XOLO is not a popular brand and I won't get much support(stock firmware) over internet.
Also, I read somewhere that particular firmware corrosponds to a particular chipset(mine is MT6589), is it true??
I would really appreciate if you can provide a link for reference where I can read further or otherwise some people will keep yelling here "noob......noob"

[Q] Help! Soft-bricked. How can I return to stock Chinese version?

My model is i9100G ZCLPI
I have the zip file I9100GZCLPI_I9100GOZHLPI_CHN which I downloaded as a backup. Is this the ROM or the kernel? It contains a tar file over 500 MB so I guess it is the ROM? I tried to flash the tar file using Odin but it never works.
Where can I find the stock kernel and stock ROM?
When I boot now, the screen shows phone--[!]--computer. The yellow exclamation point.
Search for ur stock firmware on www.sammobile.com, then just download it and flash it through Odin

I downloaded and flashed the stock firmware already. I guess that's what I9100GZCLPI_I9100GOZHLPI_CHN is. I am going to try again from Sammobile, but right now their search is not functioning.
Firmware should be a large file about 500 MB uncompressed or 250 MB compressed, right?
First check if you can access download mode using 3 button combo..
You can only flash the firmware you want via Odin.. (as stated above post)
Always always do a nandroid backup before flashing or updating firmware.. always keep a nandroid backup in your sd card..
Oh yeah always backup imei (there are tutorials in xda or google search)

I should have done a backup in the SD card. But since I couldn't install any file manager (no access to Google Apps on Chinese stock) I just downloaded the stock ROM, backed up my contacts and flashed a new kernel. For some reason when I tried to restore stock it didn't work, many times. But just now I restored to the same stock file, no problem.

I'm not sure that MyGKernel was the problem. I just tried it because I found someone on another thread used MyGKernel on their Chinese i9100G successfully.
What should I be looking for if I want to root and flash a compatible kernel/ROM? Should the kernel be ZCLPI compatible? LPI compatible? Most kernels / ROMs seem to be incompatible with the Chinese model.

Ah, so it is the rooting step that is the main hurdle. I will follow the guide you linked to. After I root it, I can install CM9 or AOKP or whatever as long as it's for the i9100g?
My main motivation to flash another ROM is to get access to google play, google calendar and skype.

Hello
My friend bought GS3 months ago in Arabic country with ICS 4.0.4 installed. When I saw the box, I found that the GS3 is a grey market product. It has Region Lock label written in Russian language on the box and the ROM is pre-rooted CWM Custom ROM
Now, Kies dose not upgrade this version and he wishes to have Arabic stock ROM 4.3 if possible. What are the safest steps to do?
- If I download and flash Arabic stock ROM, will I loose modem connectivity?
- Do I need to backup and restore EFS data if I flash stock ROM?
- Do I need root to restore EFS data/modem driver after flashing STOCK ROM?
- Should I flash custom ROM instead of Stock ROM?
I want a safe way, I don't wish to cause network/EFS loss to the device?
I read a lot but came to no conclusion.. please help

Depends on the phone history on what will happen on upgrade to 4.3, sim lock may return or imei lost due to patched efs folder. No way to know until you get flash, so backup efs now.
4.1.2 EMG4 is when efs format changed, anything before this shouldn't cause too many issues.
