Over the past yeah I have flashed about 40/50 Roms onto my trusty original galaxy note. But now I have sold it, and there for i need it to be a actual samsung phone again. Now this part i have not tried yet, so I was hoping to hear from someone with experience in this area. Do I just go stop sammobile.com, get a ICS Rom and use Odin to flash it on there?

Hi All,
First off I apologize for my layman terms and my ignorance. I am a brand new Samsung Galaxy SII user. I have a plan with AT&T and mine is stock- My girlfriend is who has the problem, therefor I am asking for her.
She unlocked her Samsung Galaxy SII herself and is on an in-state cell provider. She has rooted her phone and encountered some problems... Calls not being heard, bottom touch buttons not working, etc. So currently we are working on getting it back to the stock i777 (it's on a 9100 and upgraded to 2.3.5) in hopes of returning it.
I downloaded Odin onto my computer in an attempt to help her. I downloaded the rooted system package because she wanted to keep her root, and I downloaded the Modem thingy to help with the calls not working. I thought I could just extract these and put them into Odin, but it's not doing anything :/ It recognizes them but starts to load up and then stays where it's at, and everything is the same.
I'm frustrated because Im a complete noob to all of this. I am used to iPhones and iPhone terms, and I am familiar with jailbreaking them. But things like Kernel, pit, modem, etc are all foreign words to me, so I am having trouble picking the right words to search for in the box.
Is there anyone that can lend a complete moron some help? I dont even know where to start. I'd love to get this fixed for my girl.
Flashing to i9100 ROMs are to the blame for all her issues. International versions are not compatible firmware and hardware wise with AT&T version. You will get button issue and call issues.
The problem you have is probably due to a newer boot loader being updated to the phone and it is refusing anything other than the i9100 ROMs.

Bootloaders don't do anything like that.
My suspicion is that it's some sort of driver problem. Beyond that, I don't know - I've never flashed from Windows before.
She shouldn't need to return her phone. Running an I9100 ROM and modem is known to cause ALL of the issues she's having.
Does her device have working Clockworkmod Recovery? If so, try flashing Cognition X2 from the development forums here. Make sure it's X2, not S2 - S2 is for the I9100. Cognition X2 is intended for our phone.
Thank you both for your replies so far! I am going to try the Cognition X2 and see how that works.
I had the same problem.
Use this as a guide fixed it:
Recovering an ATT Galaxy S2 after flashing GT-I9100 Firmware in the development section.
We got it fixed! Buttons work and so do the calls! Back on i777 too! Thanks!
Hi,
I'm a newbie w/ android and I made the mistake to upgrade to the ICS version of Samsung note i717. Unfortunately, my experience with it has been quite poor due to the severe lags and hangups.
However, I have been unable to go back to the stock AT&T or Samsung version that the phone came with. I didnt save a backup of the original version. Is there any way to fix this?
I tried installing a ROM that some one made of the AT&T version earlier, but the phone would not boot after that (It would get stuck in the SAMSUNG screen at boot) and I had to re-install ICS to unbrick the phone.
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks
Search or at least look in the development section where there is the Odin to stock AT&T GB

Hi,I rooted my phone then I installed new ROM but then, I installed Galaxy S2 I9100 JB ROM Which was I9100XXLSJ ROM
when I have Galaxy S2 SGH-i777. I know I'm stupid I didn't read it clearly it just said Galaxy S2 Jellybean
I have factory reset it but it is still the i9100 JB ROM not my old AT&T version
I used Odin3 v1.85 to do all this. I have downloaded several ROMs to see if it worked but when I opened them up it dont work with Odin and they said something about installing with SD card and stuff. I tried and i cant find the program and such.
At this moment I I just want my phone to work again. It don't matter if I use stock version of ICS as long it works again with ATT. because right now. my Back/Search doesn't work and Calling.
Please help, and give good explanations because I'm not very strong in electronics
If your phone will still enter download mode you can still fix it. Look through the stickies(important threads which have been given special status due to their importance and relevance) there are several that explain how to return to stock firmware. You should probably flash a full version of stock including the bootloaders as what you flashed may have contained I9100 bootloaders. But better safe than sorry. I've given you enough information to get started, let us know how it turns out.

Sprint recently pushed an update, updating their Galaxy S5's to G900PVPU2BOD3. I soft bricked my phone and want to get back to stock. I'm currently running CM12. I have tried to flash the OA6 firmware onto my phone, with no success obviously. Does anyone know where I can get G900PVPU2BOD3 stock firmware?
SAME HERE!
I've been dealing with this for the past day as well! Why did I leave touchwiz, i had no idea i couldnt use the fingerprint scanner. No wonder i keep getting the fail on ODIN... im using the wrong stock rom...
I'm looking for it too. You and me and everyone else just has to wait. Hopefully sammobile.com will have it soon. I'm not bricked or anything. Just wanted to get back to 100 percent stock to try out building my own ROM. Now I have to flash everything through recovery lol.

Btw I can't believe they won't let us downgrade!!!!!!!
I'm honestly tired of searching; I guess I'm the only person with a Rooted Sprint Galaxy S5 and a Galaxy Gear S. The GS5 (running on BlissPop) is not supporting the Galaxy Apps/Gear Manager. I've tried several ways to unroot/back to stock ROM and still getting a FAIL from Odin. I want the ability to interact with my Gear S even by going back to stock ROM. I can't be the only one in the world with this problem...! At least I refuse to believe so...

Thats an issue with your BlissPop rom. Have you tried posting in the BlissPop rom forum? The best way to get back to stock is to grab OFFICIAL firmware. Its also possible that your device is formatted for custom roms and would need to be reformated to stock...official firmware should automatically do this if it is different.
