Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin

You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?
A lawyer doesn't lie, just manipulates truth and info

You could download CheckFus to your PC and it will find the correct firmware and I think download it too.. A bit sparse on the details as I have never used it but heard good things about it

Don't panic
I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.
Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.
If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

Please check the picture i will reupload to tell me what is it... if its bokk1 for sure...
If you're not locked, any Cosmote firmware should be fine.
For one last check, dial *#1234# on your phone and post what it says for PDA, Phone and CSC.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering since multi/megaupload are both down would it be possible to re upload one of the Individual CSC Packages from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 onto a different website that is still accessible. specifically the vodafone australia ones. it would be greatly appreciated as i am still a noob at flashing
Actually instead of the CSC for vodafone australia, could someone just re upload the official vodafone au carrier software that normaly came from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 because i need the whole file and im guessing all that use vodafone in australia will also really appreciate if anyone can help us Btw the latest version would be preferable (DUKJ1) but all are good
Do a search on here for Checkfus.
You can use it to download KJ1 (as this would also normally be available on Kies). I did this myself a couple of weeks ago in case I need to return my phone to stock for whatever reason.
I really need vodafone au stock rom. My phone turns off automatically. Any one can guide me to the specific links.
Many thanks

You got a free thanks due to my fat fingers As per my above post, search on here for Checkfus, download it (small app - couple of hundred kb, takes 30 seconds to DL), then use it to find/download Voda KJ1 stock. Flash this package in the PDA section of Odin (follow the guide here)

Is there a relationship between multiupload URLs and URLs on the various download sites? All the files must be up somewhere, even if megaupload is down.
I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.

Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

Because they can brick your device, and why I say "brick" I mean a real brick, not what some of the n00bs call a "soft brick" (which isnt a brick).
If you flash wrong pit file or flashing gets interrupted you can brick your device and only way to fix is to replace motherboard or if lucky just a JTAG connection.

Region doesn't matter, only if you want ota updates you need a matching region and csc if I am not wrong. But anyway you can flash any new version via Odin as well, hence I wouldn't bother with it.

First of all. For someone who is looking for help your tone is offensive and discouraging to those that might be able to help. If the question is indeed so simple as you ask then why are you asking the question in the first place.
Second of all, the reason people ask you to look at sammobile is because you can select the region that you are in and/or bought the handset from and would be able to check for yourself if you have indeed downloaded the correct firmware for Pakistan.
Sammobile is down at the minute and will be back up at any minute. They Tweeted this 20minutes ago.

I apologise if i have misunderstood what you have wrote but it is just how what you have wrote comes across.
Anyway, was your phone branded or unbranded when you bought it?
I have just had a think aswell. If you want to revert to complete stock unrooted, you could do it using kies firmware/update utility under tools. If you type the model as GT-I9300 and enter your device serial number (under battery, not imei) and connect your phone in download mode, kies will flash the correct firmware that that device shipped with.
I would help with the correct version but sammobile is still down and that is the site to help pinpoint the correct version details which you are asking for.

No need to apologize, I was bit harsh there for which i apolgize to you all. To the topic: I would try Samsung Kies, but the software crashes my (Window's) which unfortunately, I had to uninstall it. Well, i can wait untill the 'Sammobile' website is up again. Sorry for my english, If you are not clear with anything, Please ask freely.

if you are having kies issues, try uninstalling, restart you computer, and then reinstall by right clicking and selecting "run as administrator" it usaully does the trick for me.

There is no other way around? I have issues with my PC too, I dont have spare "Windows CD" So i am afraid if something happens, I will lose all my data. I know about Backup and stuff, But it will probably take alot more time.

Here is the firmware information for a stock unbranded Pakistan GT-I9300. This is what would have been shipped on the device when it was manufactured.
Product Code: GT-I9300MBDPAK
Version: Android 4.0.4
HIDSWVER: I9300XXALE9/I9300OJVALE9/I9300XXLE8/I9300XXALE9
I can not find the latest update for your region atm. But this firmware would be the right one for your region.
It is ICS though. you could install this and then OTA update your device.

In the link I've posted if you search you wok find a link to Pakistan firmware. If your device is a Pakistan unbranded Rom then that file will restore a complete stock system.
Before you flash, turn off your phone and hold volume dwn, home and power. Then press the up arrow once in download mode. Look at the Flash count abs make sure it's 0 or reads stock or official next to the status. If it doesn't reboot your phone and use triangle away which is in the forum and remove the Flash count. Then Flash your rom via odin.

Via XDA stock firmwares post or sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
Read the basic faqs and guides posted in the General section before doing anything .
Stock flash via Odin will require root again .

Most importantly, is your phone GT-i9300? Because S3 has various models and can not messed up the ROM
Actually, personally think the region code doesn't matter at all.
You should spent a little more time in general section, everything you need lays right over there

Be patient, it's not complicated as you thought. As matter of fact, I brought my Nexus S 18 months ago, then I immediate (like 20 minutes reading the thread and 10 minutes of preparation and operation ) unlocked bootloader and rooted it , I didn't even know "Android "before I got that phone!!!
if you mother language is not English, you can search some thread with your own language thread which should make it easier.
Just be patient reading these thread, don't be panic, this is not anything emergency, you have lots lots time doing this.

If you are in Greece this link will take you to Sammobile firmwares, make sure you do have i9300 international then download the lates version i9300XXELLA and flash it using Odin which you already have.
Make sure you understand how to flash via Odin by reading the Odin thread if you do it wrong you will just have an expensive brick
