I hope somebody can help. I would like to know if anyone has a stock Android 4.1.2 XXEMG4 ROM for download? That is already rooted to flash.
I would like this to be able to go back to stock purely to have the choice and without having to re-root or losing modem efs and the imei.
Is it possible? Has Anyone done it? I am a bit new to the phone, but any insight appreciated.

Stock rom of your choice and root and recovery via PhilZ recovery is the simple answer.
Basics read first.

Critical you read the first two posts

JJEgan Please clarify
thank you all for quick responses. I would like more info on JJEgan reply if i may. It sounds too easy.
1. Basically i restore stock formware and load up
2. Install PhilZ Touch recovery the way its explained.
3. Install Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip via recovery
and its all safe and done and rooted with recovery.
Is that right? Then edf imei etc all safe?:victory:
also would this work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868004. stumbled on it by chance.
either way i have some options? The older Versions?

No idea what you want super su usual method would be from Play store .
EFS if you are rooted now then back it up now if not after step 2 above .
edf imei etc all safe>>>> safe not 100% nothing is 100%
The rom you link to is not stock as its added.
All apps fully Deodexed
Rooted with SuperSU
Fully Zipaligned
BusyBoxed
Insecure Kernel
init.d support
Updated Adfree Hosts
As said MG4 onwards changes EFS layout this means that you dont flash an earlier rom or modem .

Onwards not backwards is the rule regarding MG4 .
FE7 NO
MJ1 would be yes

Ok. I think im going with your original answer. To preserve samsungs original firmware with extra root and recovery. Then play with slim bean rom but have the option to go back. Seems far safer.:good::victory:
many thanks for all your help on this.

Hello,
I've got S2 with Cognizant and Speedmod S2 Kernel. Everything works fine. I'll try to put it as "ordered" as possible.
Few doubts,
1) I'm a Rom Junkie(I came over from x10) and I don't have warranty, I see a lot of people got IMEI changed and even though they backed up "efs" partition, Nothing fixed (It's a hassle to take it to service center). Is there a proper way to safeguard "efs" partition (which contains IMEI) as per what i see on other thread.
2) I'm on a custom rom, How do I get back to official rom using KIES? Do I have to flash an official kernel or get back to official rom+kernel? How does this KIES thing work? I'm from India wondering if there is 2.3.5 update?
3) Why don't we have vodoo kernel just like GS-1? They were awesome.
4) if I flash the latest 2.3.5 will I loose the functionality to remove "yellow" triangle? Do I have to backup the bootloader or update the bootloader? Any clear info on this?
Thanks for all your help and responses, it would be appreciated.

hey buddy if you want to flash an official rom i would say do it through odin. go into the development forum original that is and find the stock rom thats in your region and follow the instructions through that thread.

My apologies buddy. If i knew the answers to your other two questions i would of answered in the order you wanted. apologies and i hope you get the info you want...
I dont have all the answers but ill tell you what i know
#1-Yes its a good idea to back-up your efs file.Not hard to do really.
The easiest ways would be:Full nandroid back-up,CWM(although conflicting reports of efs back-up in folders),copying efs folder to /data in phone and not internal-sd with root explorer(apparently internal sd looses permissions when copying).There is Hellcats KTool and apps like Nutrilaty also.Those to me being the easiest
#2-Kies needs to be installed to flash via odin as installing kies installs the drivers.Kies wont bring back a stock firmware,only Odin can do that and kies wont recognize your phone with a none official firmware.It can be used with an official firmware and a root kernel without problems though.If you have an official firmware in your phone and you plug it in to kies and there is a 2.3.5 update it will automatically advise you.
#3-that one i dont know.Sorry
#4-If you flash to 2.3.5 officialy or from another site you will be stuck with the yellow triangle as far as i am aware as it contains the new bootloader and can not be re-set with the jig.You can flash it here on XDA from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
which contains the old bootloader.Its 2.3.5 XXK13 and lets you re-set the counter and get rid of the triangle.

Hi,
I just got my Android and happened to Root it with a firmware containing CWM because I really had no clue as to what it was. Now I would want to be able to remove this icon CWM from my phone. I have tried flashing the kernel to no avail. Please help me with a step by step procedure to remove it since I'm absolutely new to Androids. My S2 runs gingerbread 2.3.6. I did check the web but am so confused with all the options provided.
Thanks in advance.

It is strongly recommended to back up stock ROM before u give try to Custom ROM.
*#1234# - Check your Firmware version before u do Rooting and make a note some where
You can use those information to download your STOCK ROM from many website (google them)

Since you are rooted, use any file explorer with root access and delete the cwm manager.apk.
Second option is use root un-installer and uninstall the cwm manager

in some Firmwares CWM is included in system applications, so cant simply uninstall it, you can use Titanium backup application to uninstall system apps,
But before uninstalling better you learn more about Rooting and the functions of this app and other root apps. This is a very usefull app in the rooted and Clockwork mod installed devices, for rebooting into recovery easily, kernel flashing, backing up of the Rom ect..
you can have informations from below sticky thread as well as from my signature links.

Will they charge me (even if my device is under warranty) because i have installed CWM?
Do I really need to remove CWM? If yes, how??

Yes you will need to remove root so flash Sam firmware with mobile Odin and don't root. Now back to stock. :thumbup:

Thanks for replying andrewwright!! (you too "theunderling"!!:angel
I haven't actually installed CWM yet and came here to clear my this doubt.
Why Sam Firmware (if Sam = Samsung) while my device is XOLO q800? Can I take a backup of my my stock firmware in some way because XOLO is not a popular brand and I won't get much support(stock firmware) over internet.
Also, I read somewhere that particular firmware corrosponds to a particular chipset(mine is MT6589), is it true??
I would really appreciate if you can provide a link for reference where I can read further or otherwise some people will keep yelling here "noob......noob"

Hi Guys,
Now, I'm not the least bit knowledgeable about rooting, mods, or ROMs, or even what they are. All I know is that the two bottom vibrating keys don't work after I had to reinstall a new screen.So I got the Virtual-Button bar, and ended up rooting my I9300 with CWM and SuperSU and Odin.
It's been working great for a few months. Now here's the problem.
I got a software update today, and I didn't even think about it before downloading it. Then when it rebooted, here is what it says.
Virtual Button Bar: Unable to execute as root
CWM: This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v.5.0 or newer. It apperas you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled. (Current kernel unknown)
SuperSU: has no apps configured, but I have no way of configuring any apps because I dont have the "right-click" touch-button....
Any ideas on what to do??? I need to either unroot and re-root or find a way to fix it....
Thank you so much!
Sounds like you've lost root access. If so, you can try flashing siyah kernel through odin. This kernel has a handy root/unroot option. Also once its flashed, it auto roots your phone. let me know if this works.
Just FYI: this probably happened because the software update flashed the stock kernel which would have unrooted your phone. Flashing siyah should fix your problem

Sorry about siyah thread i should have been a bit clearer. here's a link to the dev's website http://d-h.st/users/siyah/s3. from here you can download "Siyah-s3-v1.5.3.tar" this is the one that you can use with odin. From here, assuming you already have odin on you computer, you can put your phone in download mode and flash this kernel.

actually since you've already rooted the phone once before. y not to root the phone the same way? i guessing you rooted the phone by using cf root right?
Your problem is that the OTA update flash the stock recovery and kernel. Just reflash CF Root and it should be ok.

Hello guys....
I am very thankful to the xda forum and all the members who helped me to get through a serious problem..
Recently I installed 4.3 Leaked version on my GT-I9300 and the ROM proved to be worst ROM of life. So I decided to go back to 4.1.2.
I installed the Stock ROM via Odin but I confronted a serious issue, when I was finished the installation I found that there was no network at all... Samsung's official told me that it is impossible to reverse the Android version...
I had no clue what to do. I flashed many ROMs but no solution at all. My IMIE was also kinda jumbled..
Many guys said it is EFS issue... But it is not EFS issue...
It is all because of different Modem issue.. all you need to do is just install a clean Stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and Install the patched modem... you are done..
So here is the solution:
1. Download your desired Stock ROM for your Country from Sammobile...
Link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
2. Install the ROM via Odin
3. Root it and Install your favorite recovery.
4. Install the Patched MG4 Modem Zip in Recovery Mode. Link https://www.dropbox.com/s/geispctijpxqjms/Patched_Modem_I9300XXEMG4.zip
You are done....
This problem is all about MODEM version, so I don't think if EFS tricks are involved here.....
Finally credits go to all the XDA Members who put their heart and soul to present all the required guidance for me to be able to downgrade to lower Android Version.. I have only compiled the whole stuff into a single thread....
Thanks,,,

I can confirm that this method works. XEMB5 (4.1.2 stock rom) on top of the crappy 4.3 update, rooted it and then installed CWM. flashed the patch modem from the link he gave and the XEMB5 rom is working with network running again. but it seems like the battery is awful, 95% in just 10 minutes? lost 5 percent for that short amount of time -_-
then again, thanks for this!

My problem is little different. I can flash any ROM via Odin[DO NOT FORGET TO CHARGE YOUR MOBILE ABOVE 80% battery level!]:
1. Goto recovery by pressing "vo upl+home+power" release when you Samsung's bootloader.
2. Do factory reset/wipe everything.
3. Remove battery for 10secs. Then put it back.
4. Now press "vol down+home+power" to bring it into download mode. Then follow odin flashing procedure. It will work for any Samsung rom. No need to intall any custum roms.
Now going to my problems:
A. My s3 shuts down when it's idle.
B. Bluetooth button does not work. It tries to go to ON position but goes back OFF after 2/3 sec.
After downgrading from earlier 4.3 [SWC] I have even upgraded it with latest 4.1.2 xxemh4 but no luck!
Every thing works network, wi-fi etc. except above two problems!
Help me please!!
I FOUND SOMETHING, WHEN I DO *#1234* IT SAYS CSC: UNKNOWN though my network is ok and wi-fi works fine. Lemme try patching CSC as featherknox suggested!
@featherknox, But your patched modem can not be flashed in recovery[stock] mode as it says "Signature verification failed". HELP ME WHAT I SHOULD DO?

Hi,
After flashing stock s3 rom my sim card is not being detected. i know the sim card works because i tried it on another phone and i have a feeling my efs file has been made corrupt as my imei has been completely changes to 0049xxxx. Also i cannot connect to any wifi network but theyre being found . ive looked everywhere and found no answer. Please help me on how i can fix it.
I'm guessing that you made no efs backup? Do your phone's cellular functions or wi-fi work while running a custom rom? What kind of GS3 do you own (i9300 or i9305?).

You cannot go backwards to 4.1 with out a efs v1 back up. Somewhere in 4.3 samsung updated it to v2.
Without a back up you can only use the latest 4.3 and upwards.

No you cannot do that. Read up on that link I sent you.
Hi there, im on 4.3 stock rom. The thread you provided me with says to flash stock rom with odin. The problem is I do not know which stock rom I should flash. Please tell me which one I should flash and if you can provide me with a link.
