Hey Lads,
i'm about to get my GS2 this week and i'm asking myself if it is necessary to make a backup from the stock-firmware.
I had a galaxy s before and as soon as I got it I went flashing everything I could get my hands on without doing any backaup.
So my question is if I need to make a backup to get back to stock when I for example want to send it back for service or something like that.
Or does flashing a stock-rom, from the forums, have the same effect ?
Well I think this will have the same effect but I'm not 100% sure.
greets
How do you backup the stock firmware?
But I think you can always get the original firmware throug KIES if you don't change the CSC.
Good question... I don't know exactly but I do believe there is a way that uses ADB - something fromh the android develeopment tools.
But I dont know how this is exacly done. Maybe someone could post a link to a how-to ??
Question is ; am I able to do a official update when I actually have a custom rom installed...

Hey that is a very nice app. Thanks Bro.
@warranty
I know that there will be no repairs under warranty after flashing a non-stock firmware, thats the reason why I need a "clean" firmware to flash before sending it back.
wouldn't bother trying to back up the stock firmware as this can be re-flashed. just make sure you back up your efs folder!

Hello,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. I've read many topics but as far as I understood for the International version of SGS3 you can only restore IMEI from backup, unlike the US versions where you can force inject the IMEI. Is that correct? Is there any way to restore my IMEI if I don't have a backup apart from reflashing stock rom and etc. Is there some other way around it like with the Qualcomm SGS3 ? Thanks in advance.
No
So Im installing a new ROM on my F600 Smartphone MTK6589. And of course Im loosing the IMEI all the time...
replacing the MP0B_001 file in data nvdram.. doesnt help...
any suggestions?
this is the ROM:http://www.needrom.com/mobile/fly-f600-rom-4-2-1/
As far as I can tell, the ROM is based on some Samsung Galaxy rom - does that mean that I have to search the IMEI the "galaxy way"(something to do with efs)??
Hello everybody, my device is a Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7652.
I am new at this whole rooting thing, i did my first rooting to be honest yesterday and i chose PMP Ultra custom rom, because it was the best rom for my taste.
Unfortunately i didn't know about baseband compability , and my baseband version was s7562xxlj3 , and now my phone cannot receive or make calls.
I need help, what do i do??
I cant even find my original rom so i can install that, or even a custom rom that supports my baseband..
Can you please help me?
Best regards, Alkis.

I think you are mixing some definitions.
Rooting is providing root capabilities to the phone, this is a standard operation in the *nix world.
Selecting a ROM is formatting the whole system and put a new one and you probably changed the kernel (hence the baseband problem).
Fortunately the phone is not bricked (unable to boot), so my recommendation is try to check if there are other kernels/ROMs compatible and change it.

I would recommend either restoring a NANDROID backup in recovery and if you don't have a backup I would recommend searching for your devices firmware here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and then flashing it via Odin. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

Reflash the stock firmware by going into download mode by pressing voldwn+Home+power and connect it to pc only when u have d samsng drvrs or kies installed on pc and firmware file too..

That's a bit of overkill if they just need the modem, unless it's not been separated out of the original full firmware to flash separately, or you need to update the bootloaders.
To dosadnik2001: Which firmware you need depends on which region the phone is from typically. Sometimes other modems from other firmwares work on unlocked phones, but best to stick with what you know should work right first.
What I do not understand is how the baseband firmware and the custom ROM are related?
I've found some post about changing the baseband firmware and there they say that the ROM doesn't care about the baseband, so you should only change it if there are some optimized baseband that can make your network coverage better. On the other side, I found several post claiming that certain ROM is not working because of the baseband firmware version.
Flashing firmware that is not for your region is again questionable for me. Doesn't this going to mess up somehow the microwave part of the phone and you can have some issues with the network carrier eventually?
Thanks.
hi there ppl,
im new to this device, just got it few days ago, but my model is the 4g/LTE/ G7105. and it comes with JB 4.3
so i've search google, you tube, xda, and few more forums and found nothing on how to root my device. i know that there is a way to flash stock KK 4.4.2 firmware of other region from sammobile website.
i really dont care about the warrenty issue, mostly i wish to debloat the stock rom and flash custom recovery.
but i have few question if someone can help
1. i rather stay with JB with this device, so if anyone have this device G7105 rooting methood and did manage to root it pls share .
2.if i do decide to flash stock KK what happens with knoks, will it have effect on device (except the ticker which i dont mind) if i want to flash stock JB back ?
3. if i flash stock KK of region like france germany or greece, and my region is israel, will it have effect on my 4g/LTE connection and other network and gps problem?
4. last question, can i change modem if the above question mean i do have problems ?
i have galaxy s3 also but i was a lot easier to handle rooting, and since its a bit of different ways i dont like to mess hardbrick my device already.
thanks for all helpers
