I can only get to Downloading Mode and Recovery Mode. Can somebody tell me what I can flash in Odin to get my device just back to fully stock with everything on it so I can just start completely over? I've tried 3 different things and it's just all gone to crap now. I don't know how to use Odin for the most part so I'll need step by step instructions. I'll pay whatever. I need my phone up and running.

you'll have to wait for a .tar file made for our phone
I think you can still recover it to stock by resetting it
get to recovery mode and chose wipe data do that at least 3 times
after that do a restart and it should be fine

I can speak as somebody in the same boat, wipe data doesn't work. I tried changing my dpi, so the build.prop is only modified file and that option does not work.
OP, did you modify something, or remove apps, or what? If you are down an app, get the sys dump from the other thread, pull it apart, and sideload through adb. might work, but adb does not mount system, so it might be an exercise in futility.
So there isn't even a stock rom available? What about flashing one for AT&T?

Unfortunately us I527 users will have to put up with stock ROM with Root until a dev chooses to support us.

Sad part is that none of those are for our device. I just need somebody to get me the stock firmware for our version and hopefully that's all I'll need.
well i see no official stock roms for i527 so maybe look at the few custom ones there are. thats only way to get your system partition restore and the core apps replaced that you removed.

i wouldnt suggest that mate and no its not bricked. just a soft brick easily repaired with right firmware.........the roms on there i see are for the 9205 and wont work properly on your model. may not even flash much less boot!
maybe try spoof warranty

Oh you don't have a custom recovery like twrp or cwm? Now that sucks but they can still be flashed via Odin if needs be man. Restore is pretty straight fwd once you have the backup on your sdcard

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)
Stock

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.
Hey people.
I rooted my ANDROID HTC ONE from T mobile, using a guide I found on here and the all in one toolkit.
I am using TWRP newest 2.5.0.0, I can access the bootloader and recovery, and have been sat here now looking for answers for about 5 hours.
It freezes on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Also says that there is no OS installed.
I am looking for help via TEAMVIEWER, or someway to get my phone working.
If you need more information please let me now ASAP so I can give it you.
UPDATE: Okay people I successfully installed the XenonHD ROM and it is now stuck in bootloop i have tried clearing the cache and it doesn't do anything, this is the only ROM that is currently working.
I have searched the net searched the post and still nothing.
I am almost got my phone back guys and am willing to DONATE or repay the favour via modding something through XBOX or whatever I can.
Please contact me soon as possible.
I am still on TEAMVIEWER.
Changed my recovery to ClockWorkMod Touch.

There have been a lot of posts on similar issues. You can "sideload" a ROM via ADB commands from your computer. If you can get into recovery, your phone can be fixed. I haven't done this myself (still stock), but do a search on google or xda on sideloading a ROM from ADB.

Did you clear the cache? Also, I've seen some people have to format the partitions.

You have to be careful with No o.s installed .
Normally if u reboot when u see that you'll brick.
Without a o.s you have no bootloader..
I bricked my s3 and had to jtag it when it said no o.s I rebooted and black blank screen nothing.
I've had this happen also when choosing format system and format data /media some reason it botches the boot up .
My only fix was to sideload a rom or wipe factory and restore a nandroid .

my recomendation is that you get s -off and supercid asap so next time you run into a similar problem you can just install any ruu(note only do this if your phone has no official ruu) and work it out from there.

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

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?

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 same problem like you, and I finally fail back to stock rom of my region. Then get the root access and delete all bloatware.
So any update of your case, maybe we have the same root cause
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.
I'm in need of some assistance.
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.

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.

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

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.

:::: Im not responsible if you brick Your Phone ::::
Flashable via Odin
Why would I you need this:
1-You want the 4.2.2 FW 'Alors Voila'
2-You bootlooped or other reason and you don't have a Nandroid / Backup. and No yet official Firmware for Canadian Carrier and you surely don't want to send it to Samsung So you can do this one.
3-Cause I Want it
what its not working:
the Phone ( trying to fix it )
Force Close:
S Note flash the csc so snote won't forceclose . Download
If with the download its still not working so add it manually and put the permission
For files permissions is
XXX
X
X
For folders
XXX
X. X
X X
And reboot
Download:
4.2.2 i467M Only ( Canadian 4G Lte Note 8.0 )
Beside you wont see the developer submenu so u cant click on debug. but they're still on the phone, so nobody freak out. Google hasn't taken the "developer" out of its Nexus line, and it's not going to anytime soon. But the settings have been hidden from casual view in the settings menu. Here's how to get them back:
1. Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.
2. Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number." (Your build number may vary from ours here.)
3. Tap it seven (7) times. After the third tap, you'll see a playful dialog that says you're four taps away from being a developer. (If only it were that simple, eh?) Keep on tapping, and *poof*, you've got the developer settings back.

If u want the s translator download the zip file http://db.tt/ADug1EoL extract it copy s translator to app and set the permission. And now for the libnmsp_vocoder.so add it in system/lib ( and set the permission) reboot the tablet.
if you have the AT&T ( i467 ) Nah do not touch
Do you want the resizable note 2 popup browse? So download this as any app http://db.tt/yGNx9PnV
Enjoy it
Hi, thanks for doing this.
I've been wanting 4.2.2 for my sgh-i467m (Rogers) for a long time.
But I do really need the S-Note function. So I'll wait until you add S-Note
I have a question though. I'm currently paying text messaging add-on $15/mo. Do you think I will lose this function?
And also, phone feature would be so siiick.
I'll wait patiently

I made more researches. it seems that after the update to 4.2.2 the S note is force closing and some its working. now im investigating to see what version is working with no bugs,,,
as for the add ons you tablet will work exactly same as now. so you don't have to worry. I have 5gb/17.5$ I also want to use it so I wouldn't update it in this way if I know it will affect us
the Phone Feature yeah its good. but I decided to keep it on a side for now and witting to see first further aboout the snote.

You're awesome. Keep me posted
You probably have to extract the CSC stuff in order for the SNote to work. I had that force close issue with my first release of stock 4.2.2 rom.

Thanks for uploading the S-Note fix. I have downloaded both files and ready to flash but I don't want to screw up.
I'm a little new to this... never flashed a rom with Odin before. I used Odin for rooting but never flashing roms.
Could you post a step by step on how to flash?

1 open ur Odin /it will be a good first start /
2 click on Pda and select the .tar file that I uploaded
3 click on start and wait
So if U say U did rooted your phone with Odin its the same step U have to put the phone on download mode (power on the phone while you hole the -Volume)
Et voilà...

Try to flash later via cwm. If it didn't work follow the steps with permission...
Thanks, I finally got around flashing. Everything works great and better. Before things like app launching time or keyboard was extremely laggy. But now its gone. Also sometimes touch screen not responding for a second or two is also gone. I cant thank you enough.
I wasnt really going to use the phone feature but that phone app sitting in the app drawer is really tempting to use. Do you have any progress on that yet?
Also, do you think you can port some note3 stuff like aircommand?
Thanks!

Anyone try flashing this on the AT&T version?
Does this replace the modem files that the AT&T network needs?
Thanks for porting this over.

The AT&T version has a locked bootloader, so we can't load a custom recovery to make a back up. We do have root, which is great to have.
Can you point me in the right direction to make a back up?
Should those with a locked bootloader not flash this file?
I really appreciate your work on this.
Thank you

Ok 1 download the cf auto root . Fla**** via odin and reflash the recovery twp.once its done to under recovery mode and create a back up better to do it on the ext sd card.
And once its done go back to download mod and flash the rom via odin. We the i467M also we dont have an unlocked bootloader. But flashing via odin if possible.
Now when its done ur tablet may and may not boot. If its not booting go to recovery mod and clean cache and dalvik. Et voilà!!!!

Which Note 8 version of twrp should I flash, N5210?
Thanks
Can't believe I haven't seen any links (for anything for Sprint S7 and S7 Edge) yet....
Gonna try to get older versions too.

(Load all 4 files appropriately. Choose either CSC file. This will wipe data)
Why would we need this since there is no root for this phone yet?

A stock firmware file has many uses other than simply unrooting....

Is there a guide how to use this in Odin?
Doens't work, you get a eMMC write fail
edit: now my S7 refuses to boot. I can still acesss the download mode, but odin cant seem to flash anything on it.
So my S7 is now useless :\
edit 3: these files are old, thats why they dont work if you've recently updated your phone.

Lol. No, PD3 is still BL v2 - you can flash it no matter what current version you're running. And the files are official - they don't harm or corrupt the phone.
eMMC write fail has nothing to do with the files themselves. That's a board-level issue
can we get a re-up
Any chance anyone has these files? I am stuck in boot loop and trying to work around it.

Use HOME CSC if you don't want to wipe, but a wipe might be needed anyways. So use non HOME CSC if you can afford the wipe
