Hey,
I have recently flashed and installed a custom CM7 rom to my Galaxy 5 but i am not happy with the results and i wish to go back to Stock 2.2- i stupidly didnt create a backup, so can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get back to stock, i am completely new to this kind of stuff so please try and keep it simple!
Thanks
go to samfirmware.com and download the rom for your phone.
Then use odin to install it on your phone
After about a month learning about flashing, modding and other cool stuff i finally flashed my rom but about a week later my digitizer broke! So now i need to restore it to stock so i can use the warranty. I will write the steps as i worked them out and if someone would either confirm that they are correct or point out where I am wrong it would be a massive help. (Plus this can be used as a guide for any noobs in my situation.)
Im now running an android version 2.3.7 cm7 and redpill hybrid (AWESOME!!)
Flash back to stock I would use NFhimselfs gobstopper (Should i use 2.2.2 or 2.3.4 or do they both get rid of the "unlocked"?) flashed using cwm (I use ROMRACERs for everything should i use that or do I need to use temfars?)
Return phone
Get it back...
To get it back to unlocked and rooted i would need to only flash thorough rsdlight the IHOP and I wouldn't need to fastboot unlock. (Right?) and then to root i would just need to download superuser from the market...
Sounds right?
Thanks for your help.
This has been a long journey and i just want to make sure i don't crash in the final lap...
Hey guys, I know it isn't possible to bring your phone to being entirely stock without odin but the big question is:
Can I flash the stock Rogers rom without ODIN? My phone is no longer detectible by any computer because it won't fully connect properly.
I know I can't get rid of CMW but am I able to flash the stock modem and then use the .zip from this link to go back to the stock Rogers rom? I am having two issues with my phone and the guys at the store said if I can at the very least get the phone to look like it is stock from the settings menu then I'm good to get another one haha.
I am a bit of a noob but I have rooted my sprint note 3 which came out successful. I have rooted my galaxy s3 before in the past and flashed many roms without any issues.
Once I rooted my note 3 I ran the stock rom for a week and then decided to kick it up a notch and flashed the bonsai rom, which worked fine until i discovered the camera didn't work. Before I flashed the bonsai rom, I did a backup of the stock rom via cwm. Once I figured out the camera didn't work with the bonsai rom, I reset and wiped the data for my phone and tried to restore the stock rom which i figured it was a boo boo because I got stuck in a bootloop so I reflashed the bonsai rom back on my phone until I got back home to my pc. At that point, I decided to unroot and return the phone back to stock. I used odin and followed unrooting instructions to a tee and I had an official stock firmware, but odin failed and I think I may have soft bricked my phone. In a panic, I downloaded a "rooted stock" rom and flashed that...after a few bootloops, I updated my cwm recovery and superuser app...and my phone has been working fine every since (whew). I really want to unroot, then re-root and just run the stock rom without flashing any more custom roms, however I am afraid of bricking it again.
I have the stock official firmware N900PVPUBMJ4_N900PSPTBMJ4_N900PVPUBMJ4_HOME.tar.md 5 which to my understanding is android 4.3. I do understand that 4.4 is out. I was wondering is it ok to flash the 4.3 using odin to return my phone back to stock?? I've been spooked ever since my soft brick encounter. Any info will be helpful. Btw, sorry for the long story. I figured I should give all the details. That would help me get to the bottom of it all
Thanks in Advance!

Depends on what version you are running, but sounds like you are on mj4 still... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657828 this one is mj4 (4.3), if you are on 4.4 you need to go to the Android development forum and use whatever version you are on, just look for rwilcos one click.

Follow the instructions from this thread and you will be fully unrooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657828:good:
So I was on a custom rom for a while and I decided to flash it back to stock to give the phone to my mom. However when I flash it back to stock PK1 (downloaded from sammobile and confirmed both the phone and file are for G900T) it doesnt go pst the white t-mobile screen. you can hear the chime for t-mobile but nothing more. It's weird because the stock recovery is on the phone instead of twrp and it works perfectly fine. If I put twrp back on and reflashed the custom rom (popwiz) the phone will boot fine. Anybody have any idea what it could be?
and RIP as soon as i post this thread the phone boots out of no where after days of hassle and struggle
this thread can be deleted. Sorry!
