Dear All,
I need a little help and wondered if you guys may be able to point me in the right direction please?
I had an S3 which I stupidly smashed to pieces a few weeks ago. While it was off being repaired, I did something bad.. real bad. I bought myself an iPhone 5!
Anyway, I’ve decided to keep it and sell the S3.
Now here’s the thing.. The S3 is running a custom ROM (I think it’s Omega or Wanamlite) and is rooted. But the new buyer wants me to restore it to the original Samsung stuff and have it like it was when bought.. So minus root and rocking the official Samsung firmware.
The thing is that I no longer have Windows XP on my Mac or any way of getting it so I want to know if there is a way of just getting everything back to normal either on the phone itself or just via a Mac OSX app (Mountain Lion)? I’ve never really done this before and used to use the Windows app but the only Windows machine I now really have access to is a work one which won’t let me install anything.
Also, does anyone know how I would do this - as in remove the root – and where I’d get the official Samsung software from?
Thanks in advance for all your help and merry Christmas.
Phil
I think you can try it with mobile odin... But first read please the instuctions

I just got an A660 from China. I want to flash cybermaus' custom ROM to get rid of all the Chinese stuff (and there's a lot!) and be able to install all the familiar apps I have on my Nexus 7 (and there's a lot!). I can get into stock recovery easily but haven't been able to go any further.
Please can someone explain to me, as if you're talking to my 7 year old grand-daughter, how to do what's necessary.
The phone is Lenovo A660, Android version 4.0.4, Baseband version A660.V2,2012/06/06 00:30, Build number A660_S025_121122. I was supposed to receive the phone from an eBay seller all set up like I wanted but he 'forgot'. I have nothing on the phone so far and would really like to install a decent ROM before I start filling the thing with personal data etc.
I have already read everything to do with this undertaking on XDA-developers and my head is spinning from the hundreds of pages that I have waded through. Can someone please make it simple for an old guy? Thanks a million in advance.
PS Superuser is installed (does this mean that the phone is already rooted?) ...... also, Play Store was installed by Chinese seller but will only launch for about half a second and then quits.
EUREKA!!!!!! Finally, after 2 solid weeks of trying I came across this webpage and was able to root my Lenovo A660 in minutes!
Hi guys new to this forum, well sort of i have used xda b4 to install custom roms. Well im back to seek advice with this tablet, it's made by Hanvon model is Hpad a116. Long story short i got these from a guy that had a failed business, he has about 15+ tablet that are collecting dust and i want to help him get rid of them...
So this tablet runs on gingerbread beside wanting to update the os the major issue with this tablet is it is oem modded to be used in china even after switching the langauge to english the system masseges stil display in chinese.... I have flipped the internet up side down trying to find support for this device and got nothing except for a chinese program that i can use to root this device and surprising thing is that this tablet came rooted and have a recovery program, but ended up rerooting it with that chinese program and installed kinguser. I felt like i am getting closer but then lastnight i attempted to flash a random android rom now the tablet is stuck at boot screen....... So im gonna start all over with another unit but definately need some help so i dont end up lock the next tablet.
Plzzzz help...

Hello! I recently got a h892l myself. Ive never rooted before and I have been trying to learn as much as I can before rooting. On another forum (howard forums) someone said they rooted with kingo root.
Im sorry, I dont have anyknowledge to assist you, but I wanted to ask, do you know what went wrong? Anything you could offer as far as advice/experience would be very much appreciated- I cant afford another phone either.
I wish you all the best and hope you are able to sort this issue out.

I am new here so please excuse me if this is the wrong place to post this, however I am in need of some assistance
I have a Samsung Galaxy TAB3 10.1 - GTP5210
I encountered the little android flat on his back, so I have downloaded a number of ROMS that were applicable to the device and used ODIN (different versions) to flash the device. ODIN says it has been successful and the device reboots only to be confronted with the Android flat on his back. I have even tried downloading the JellyBean and KitKat kernels, and used the odin .img to .md5 bat file converter; this also failed.
I appreciate that the tablet is old but it is my daughters and would really like to fix it. There are no option to do recovery etc, I use the power-home-volume down button to get into download mode and then locate the md5 and use odin to flash it;
I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me, as I am at a complete loss as to what to do.
Thank you all in anticipation of anyone replying
I don't think you're going to find a lot of help for a tablet released in 2013. I'd Google "dead Android" with whatever version of Android you're running and see what the Internet tells you.

Good evening, thank you for your response, I kind of searched for that on the internet that has how I came to be here; as "the internet" says use android with the correct ROM and kernel..
So was hoping that someone here would be able to assist, for example could I use a later ROM what kernel do I need?
I have no idea what version I am using as it does not tell me in "download" mode
Also do I flash the kernel first and then the rom or vice -versa
I am not even certain whether I have a partition or not? I am assuming I do given that when I install the ROM it appears to accept it and then just goes into continuous loop.
I appreciate that the tablet is 3 to 4 years old but I would have thought there would still be support out there for it.
Oh just one other thing, I bought a new battery for it and replaced that, just in case it was that.
thanks in anticipation of replies
I just recently damaged my new phone and my only option is to use one of my old phones. I just found out that 7 or 8 years ago I had rooted this phone and I am wanting to update the android firmware. I tried to update from the push notification but it does not work. I am thinking either the root or CWM is not letting it auto update.
I no longer need root and have been out of touch with the modding community for a long time. I am sure there is a simple way to do it. I just have no idea where to start. I just want a stock phone. I would appreciate some help thanks.
The phone is a Sprint galaxy S3 Model Number SPH-L710 Android Version 4.1.2
