I love how I was just doing a factory data reset to start dumping stock images to upload here. Literally reset phone, then while it was resetting, I see your post of this here.....FML, lol. Now I spend 2 hrs re-setting up my phone for nothing, haha. Thanks for the upload dude, much appreciated!!!
Thanks so much! Anyone mind putting a real brief set of instructions. I know he just got done so he's probably resting. But if anyone could chime in I think would be great. Or if the jnstructuins for other roots work then just let me know. I know how to search?

Thanks for these, and for root - worked like a charm.
So yeah... I found instructions and was able to flash from odin but I have no su and root apps are telling me I don't have root. I tried to install su from the play store but it said I didn't have binaries. Is there more to this than just flashing or what? Thanks in advanced.

This just gets your phone back to 100% stock. Follow this for root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481590
Just so we're clear; this process won't trip knox either right?

Added a hotfile mirror
Hotfile must be getting hit too... anyone make a torrent yet? ****s so slow. lol Don't wanna root my phone with out the stock odin files on hand.
If we root and later Odin back to stock, will there be any trace left on the phone showing we were rooted (in other words, will the unlock picture come up after re-flashing stock?)
Thanks for all your work on this!!!
Thanks for this and all that you do!

It went back to full stock for me. I re rooted afterwards a 2nd time. No issues.
This should be moved to dev section...thats normally where all stock odin files are posted.

i've tried the root method for the sticky in the dev. section. One click user just stalls out at step 5 it seems. Elsewise .... how long is step 5 supposed to take? All i have to show for my efforts so far is the old boottriangle. I came from an Epic Touch 4g (which i had no problems rooting). Any helpful suggestions?
Thanks in advance

When it stalls and freezes unplug USB then go into settings uncheck then check USB debugging then plug USB back in. It will finish up the process.

Use superOneClick again and after it stalls out on step 6
simply unplug usb cable from computer for a couple seconds
then plug in back in and bingo you are good to go!
If that doesn't work just download this file and flash in cwm

.apk files are not going to be recognized by Odin. .tar files are recognized by it. If you don't have root but have flashed codeworkx kernel then close Odin download this to your phone hereand flash in cwm
Apk is an application much like .exe in windows
rev. *.tar i think i need to begin with a proper version of odin (which i can't seem to find.) By the way, i can't boot into recovery. had that been the case, i'd already been nandroiding and running CM7
Odin does not see the su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip

ok, i'm a little confused where you are right now with all this, so I'm going to start over.
1) flash this kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823) but skip the step that roots via superoneclick
2) flash this CWM file to acquire root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286220)

Wait, you flashed my pre-rooted system image tar?
Then there is no need to use SuperOneClick or the CWM kernel - you should be rooted already.
Also, if you flash my kernel instead of the CWM one, it will automatically root you on the first boot.
Thank you guys I certainly appreciate the help. I look forward to flashing root / cm7! Afterall, aside from service, the main reason I switched from Epic Touch 4G.

I am looking for a full stock Froyo build for Odin to go back to from Gingerbread, does anyone know of a good link. I have been messing with this for 2 days, bricked about a dozen times. I am really good at unbricking now. The reason is half my calls on bluetooth are distorted, I lost app Sound Dock Redirector and the volume on dock it terribly low. I would have posted in development but it wouldn't let me post there.
This is where you are supposed to post this kind of stuff, in Q n A. Go to droidstyle's guide in the general section.

I tried that. All links I find are multiload or dropbox and both sites are shut down. The one I would really like is full edo5 with voodoo lag fix. At this point a full custom is ok I just want back to Froyo. I had the original but I deleted it by accident AARRGGG. The only reason I messed with it was the the lag and it used to hang on partial screens.

Hey, I downloded DL09.tar.md5 [309MB, md5 0e5c11fa8a18ac361602be298e643a47] a while back, mistakenly downloaded it for the latest firmware [which was EH03 gingerbread].
I still have the file, and if you cannot find this file anywhere, I will try to upload it for you. [It would take a while though on my connection].
the link in my guide works fine, I just tried it...
see comment below
Thanks droidstlyle I check it again and it worked fine from work. I was not able to get there from my home computer. Must be some blocker I have set or virus protection running or something. Anyway I got it thanks a ton. Rep coming your way.

I've seen mixed messages about this so I figured I'd ask to be safe. If I root my S4 and put TWRP recovery on it, I can flash a stock ROM in Odin and everything will be back to stock and official status for warranty, correct? Thanks.

This is completely off topic and I am very sorry for this I am just very desperate. But I mistakenly deleted a system file I shouldnt have without backing up and now the play store, youtube etc will not let me login. Can you make a backup of all the system files or even make a rom? Thanks. If you can it would be greatly appreciated. my email is [email protected].
Dark... you can do that but you would then have to lose root. My suggestion to you is you use the unroot method in superuser if your superuser has the option or get universal unroot from the play store. you would restore your backup of the stock rom and then remove all that you can like recovery and then use 1 of the methods i mentioned to break root.
The point being is you can go back to complete stock rom but if you are still rooted and they see then "no warranty for you!" (heh warranty nazi)

So, if I used Odin to flash the stock ROM, my status would still show "custom"?? I thought if you flashed stock, it unrooted and put it back to official?
Also, michaelgg13, if you can tell me which file you are missing, I can try to get it and send it to you if that will help?

Thats the thing I am not exactly sure which file it is. Im kind of stuck. it must be some sort of google service. Is there anyway to backup all of the stock files? I am new to android so I am trying to figure this out haha. Thank you for answering though.
no the su binaries will stay which gives superuser the write permissions to the root of the device such as /system
Flashing the rom back just puts all the files back as they were, plus you backed it up with the su binaries intact so it will still be there after the restore of stock rom

Ah, I see. Well, I've added a couple different things into my system files so I don't think you'll want all of that. However, if you have your files and contacts backed up, there was a thread somewhere either here or on another forum that had the stock ROM that you could flash with Odin. I could try and find that for you if you want it.

Ooh...I think you might have me mistaken. I'm asking if I flash a completely stock ROM with Odin. NOT a Nandroid backup or any other form of backup. Just a stock ROM with Odin. Would that reset everything back to official status?

EDIT: just tried the link again, it is actually taking me to the download page but the download doesnt work. so close i can almost taste it!
EDIT 2: after reading their facebook page they said they are having dns issues, so they should be back shortly!
ahhh maybe you will break root then. If i remember right from my Bionic if i FXZ'd with House of bionic it redoes EVERYTHING wipes the system.img.. just everything boot.img all of it.
I'm not exactly sure how that would work to be honest cause flashing the rom back may still leave those binaries in... this is something I'm not totally sure on but i still do not think it will break root.
Hi, my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3.
My device is bought in Singapore.
Its my first time rooting my device.
Ran into a problem that I couldn't turn on my wifi anymore. (tried wifi fixer app and turning airplane mode on and off)
I have successfully rooted my device as verified with the Root Checker App.
I have downloaded all the files from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330598
I should done all steps correctly.
After I have done those steps, I downloaded Simons_JB_Rom_v100_based_on_AMH1.zip
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374899
Transferred it into my phone then I proceeded on installing the Custom ROM.
I've backed up my stuffs through the the recovery.
I have reset my phone to factory settings, wiped the cache partition, wiped Delvik cache.
I did a restart but i did not see any "Yellow exclamation logo".
After all, I proceeded on to install the ROM.
I cant turn on my wifi from now on. I've tried to download the "Wifi Fixer" app but it wont work.
I got a feeling that I have not erased my previous stock ROM but I proceeded on to installing the custom ROM.
Any kind souls out there who can help me or give me some links that I could refer to?
Thank you in advance! :fingers-crossed:

You need to do a complete wipe and install a stock rom and verify if the phone works. If it does then start again with rooting etc. If not return it for a replacement or repair.

Just install the custom Rom over the top of the old one, no need to do factory reset or wipe anything. The custom roms are based on stock anyway.
Try that and see how it goes.

I have my Galaxy Mega on Metro Pcs. Woke up today and decided to root it or at least ( attempt ) to root it myself. I looked up a couple tutorials and eventually did it. BUT, due to me being inexperienced I didn't make a "backup" of anything.
So now, I'm stuck with a Galaxy Mega that seems to be rooted on another platform other than Metro's. I also am unable to use the Wifi feature, and it seems that I can't transfer files via USB - PC
I tried reverting my mistake but I don't think I'm flashing the right thing. Can someone please guide me in the right direction as to flashing this Mega back to the way it was. I don't want to bother with the root anymore, I just want the phone back to the way it was.
I'd really appreciate any help you gentlemen could give me.

I know that this thread is very old but I didn't want to make a new topic on something that was similiar to the problem I was having, apoliges if making a new thread was the right thing. I just really need you all's help.

you can get the firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-M819N&pcode=0
download the zip file. than unzip it and flash it through odin.
That site doesn't have the firmware for the U.S. Galaxy Mega 6.3
Any other link I could try?

I followed the link but I don't see where the it says United States after I check Galaxy Mega 6.3
I could be doing something wrong, but I'm sure I'm choosing the proper Mega Model.
After I click country, there is no option for America/United States

I'd just try using kies. it will give you the firmware update and take it back to stock with no root and no custom recovery. http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/#downloadWindows

Oh really? That's great news. So if I update via Kies.. The phone should go back to full factory restoration is what your saying? I really hope this works, installing Kies as we speak.

I appreciate your help mate. I did the restore via Kies, it worked flawlessly. I am so relieved.
I'd shake your hand if I could.. xD

I recently purchased an S4 and managed to get an MDK version. I haven't had a chance to root it yet, so I used to keep canceling out of the system update prompt. Unfortunately, today while I was typing an email the prompt came up and I accidentally hit the install prompt, which led to an immediate reboot of my system and it initiated the installation of the system update. I managed to take the battery out immediately and prevented the update from completing. Every time I reboot the phone now, it goes through the "installing system update" cycle and I have to remove the battery to prevent it from completing.
Do I have any chance of killing the update process and retaining the MDK version?

Try booting it into download mode and then cancelling to see if it would boot normally. Root then freeze/rename/delete sdm.apk. if not I would download the mdk stock image and flash through odin to remove the update files. After getting it to boot enable airplane mode and root itm

Thanks for the suggestion. I just booted into "Download Mode", but didn't connect my phone to the computer. I powered down the device and rebooted. It went into recovery mode and tried to install the system update again... any other suggestions to kill the update from taking?

I have an idea. Someone may need to confirm this will work. Actually im pretty sure it will work. Flash the MDK pit file in odin. If you need the file let me know.
I second that idea.

I am absolutely willing to try it. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me the file and also point me in the right direction.
Thanks much,

Here is a link to a ODEX or DEODEX stock rom. Just download your preference and flash with Odin. If you need help with that, just post and we'll give the steps.

Thanks much. Can't I just use the ODIN and flash the pit file? Do I have to flash the full rom?
Sorry about that, misread the post. Here's the pit file.
