So I soft bricked my phone using LCD Density Modder, luckily I was rooted with recovery. I downloaded a stock ROM and installed it through Odin. I thought I was going to loose everything and have to start fresh but after the install when my phone rebooted it was like nothing ever happend, it was the same phone as right before I bricked it. How can this be? I thought flashing the ROM would bring me back to stock. Is this the case when installed any ROM on the SIII or did I get lucky??
I used to have a Droid 2 and when ever I installed ROMs on it I would always have to start fresh.
Thanks!

Odin doesn't wipe data, it just flashes the stock boot, recovery and system image.

Cool. So this is only the case when returning to stock? Or will this work for any ROM I install with Odin?

Oh, ok. Is there any way to tell if they are non-wipe, should it say in the description somewhere? Is it normally stock ROMs that are non-wipe?

Hi all
I'm not new to flashing but I'm new to flashing cm7.
I odin back to stock jfd eclair. Root and Install CWM 2.xxx. I downloaded the stable cm7 and I started flashing. (after I wipe data/cache of course)
IN recovery, it said finding package, opening package, then my phone processed a series of lines and reboot automatically. On the startup, it says VIBRANT SAMSUNG, then GALAXY S CYANOGEN(mod) then the same recovery screen with many lines. It moved too fast into another reboot I couldn't read what was on the screen. And it kept doing this for quite 10 mins now.
Is it normal? if not, what did I do wrong? I can get into download mode and odin back to stock but I did it last night and I couldn't think what i did wrong.
Please help!
Hmmmm..... seems a bit wierd, try going into recovery and wiping and reinstalling with a new download.

Try reflashing cwm when your rooted, may have not flashed right
Sent from my Gewgle Phone via XDA App
This happened to me also, I went directly back to recovery, 3 button, and reflashed. Worked the second flash for some reason.
Thanks. I turn it off, get into recovery again, and re flash it successfully
Same exact thing happened. I have no idea how many time I odened back to stock trying to figure it out.
I did as you guys said, as soon as that loop began, pulled the battery and got back into recovery. flashed again and worked just fine!
same thing happened to me...i got back into recovery...i noticed cwm updated to 5.0.2.8 then i reflashed and all good...when i tried to flash at first. cwm was 2.5 ..maybe thats the issued it wont flash on that...has to be cwm 5.0
anyway getting ready enjoy some cm7 on my vibrant...
hey guys, i think i might have bricked my new tab, I rooted it, installed clockwork recovery on it, and then flashed the In Paris Rom and Pershoots kernal. After that its been stuck on the samsung screen, nothing else displays. I tried to send it back to stock with ODIN, got the stock recovery on it but my computer wont detect the SD card so i dont really know how to get the stock ROM/kernel on it.
any thoughts on how to get a complete return to stock Rom/Kernel/Recovery?
please help! should i just return the thing i think i have insurance
UPDATE: Fixed it, thanks to AnimeaTechnica's on galaxytabforums
reset with everything there, updated with all stock, then reinstalled clockwork recovery.
learned my lesson, will backup inside clockwork BEFORE trying new roms

I'm guessing he used an ODIN flashable stock ROM
major problem.
i flashed team perfection objection ics rom. felt that i wanted to go back to stock and thats when the problem showed up.
i havent flashed any other custom rom before the objection ics. i came from stock rooted telus.
tried flashing the tar file from this thread
[STOCK][ODIN][GB][Telus] For those who wish to revert to stock Telus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27508953#post27508953
- sometimes odin freezes but when it doesnt and actually finishes flashing, phone wouldnt start up after the automatic reboot. (how long should i wait for the initial boot to start? i wait for about 2-3 minutes of nothing but black screen before resetting)
i tried flashing the backup files from this thread
[ROOT]For TELUS Note (i717D) - No Flash Counter
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585440&highlight=telus+rooted+system
- after flashing, boots but gets stuck at the "touch the android screen to begin"
anybody have an idea whats going on?
tried 2 different stock tar files through odin and i cant get any of them to work.
i flashed back to the objection rom through cwm to make sure that my phone isnt bricked or anything. seems to be working fine. havent tried any other custom roms though.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Hi you may have a partition that is corrapted or there may be something wrong with that telus Odin flash. Go to dev section. There is another Odin flash for telus. It is a stock telus rom rooted that is flashed through Odin. It does work, I hav e used: t before. I will send you a link when I get home from work.

I use to have a telus note now I have a rogers note. I may still have a back up of a telus rom. Will check my computure when I get home
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I may have found your problem. When using Odin, and flashing a backup file, it does not format your phone partitions. So you first have to go into cwm and do a factory wipe, wipe dalvik and go into advance and wipe the other dalvik . Do a battery pull, and now put your phone into download for Odin. I have telus kernel, telus modem and telus stock recovery that can be flashed in cwm. Just not sure if I have the stock from still. Pm me if you have any questions
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Just a update wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache before you use Odin to flash a rom. I told you partly wrong in precise post

thanks for the help guys
thanks for the help guys.
i dont know if its a partition problem though but it really got me worried.
for some reason i got it to flash properly and it booted up with no problems.
now im thinking thats its the odin software that was causing the problems. the first one that i used to root my phone a couple of weeks back had an "evo 4g" title at the top. it didnt gave me any problems back then so i ignored it. and thats the same one ive been busting to use last night to flash back to stock. anyhow, i tried using a different odin3 that has "android+slp" label on it and i noticed that it was freezing less and actually finishes the flashing but the bootup still has some problems. i get stuck at the bootup logo for a couple of tries. after sometime i just flashed it over and over again until i hit the jackpot.
is there anyway that i can check if my partitions are still broken? im thinking that i wont be doing any flashing until the update comes in july. the ics roms arent stable enough for me anyway.
oh what do i do if wanna get the official ics update? i have stock system, i think, but its rooted. do i just flash stock kernel and unroot it?
i found an article in lockermikedotcom that allows you to unroot using a batchfile. i was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction. thanks
If you have a stock rom but it is rooted, flashing a stock kernel usually does not remove root. You would have to install stock recovery first and then you adb to remove the superuser and busbox files from your phone to get it totally stock like it was before you rooted it. This batch file DooMLord_v1_unrooting_zip will unroot your phone .It work on the Rogers Note anyways. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7ysrb3v7tfu9t1a
so, I was trying to update the OS on my Galaxy S3, it was rooted, so I couldnt just update, I had the stock rom on, and wanted to go back and remove the root, but im an idiot, and deleted everything, lost the backups too.
so now my phone has nothing. going into recovery goes to team win recovery project v2.3.3.1. even when its plugged into my computer, it wont allow me to access the sd card.
ANYONE, have any ideas on how I can get the stock rom onto it?

The thing is that you need to re-flash Sammy Stock 4.1.2 ROM thru Odin and when the phone boots up, you can go into recovery and factory reset your phone to stock settings and UI. Simple as that!
Don't forget to wipe cache also so nothing weird happens with your S3!

Hello people
I need some of your kind assistance I have deleted OS on my S3 international version I had rooted the phone and installed Paranoid Android prior to this disaster.
I would like to flash the Stock Rom 4.1.2 back on the phone. The issue I am having is that Odin won't detect my phone for me to
to try follow instructions given in this thread
I have downloaded and installed the following CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300 version of Odin

Please can you assist me thank you
Worked it out by myself
I solved the issue I could not locate the back up i had made using TWRP once i figured it out where it was I just re installed it I am admittedly a noob. Everything is working and back to normal.
Soooo.... I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545), then I decided to install a custom ROM since the default TouchWiz rom is slower than a turtle stuck in a pile of wax. I installed Safestrap 3.71 (TWRP v2.6.3.1) and by mistake flashed my stock rom. Now my phone won't boot into any ROM since that is corrupt, but it still boots into recovery (that's a good thing I suppose). I have tried a number of Safestrap compatible roms (omni, cm, beanstalk) but they either end up giving me a black screen or a very weird looking pixelated blue/cyan screen. I have to remove the battery to reboot my phone. I tried using adb to wipe the data aswell but nothing works beyond recovery.
I have to rely on adb to push and pull data to and from the phone.
I was hoping if anyone had any idea what I should try to do next?
Probably best just to restart by flashing the stock firmware back to it with Odin.
Make sure you don't try to downgrade the firmware vs what you have now, as that can create a lot more issues than you want to deal with.

Have you cleared cache?
If you are not able to flash a custom rom, I would recommend you to flash a stock rom and begin from new. Also if you are on Android 4.4 you cannot use any recovery.

According to that, only 13 is supported. I dunno if the that thread hasn't been updated or whatever, but something to consider.
