I need to restore the og splash screen to return my phone to at&t
Can anyone help please
The best way to restore original state is to flash stock ROM using Odin. First and last problem in this method is to find proper ROM for your phone.
I found one in this forum but did not fix my issue
I mean it should be STOCK ROM flashable by Odin, not custom ROM. If you found stock rom and flashing it did not fix your problem it means this ROM was not RIGHT for your phone OR problem is with hardware...
Remember ALWAYS clean cache and dalvik before flashing new ROM.

I recently rooted the phone and wanted to install a custom rom. When I tried to back up the current stock rooted rom with rom manager, someone went wrong. So I was then stuck on a flashing black screen. But I can still access Odin/download mode. But whenever I try to flash something, it flashes, but the screen just reboots back to the flashing black screen. Help please I dont know what to do
What firmware base did you start from, and what method did you use to root the phone?
Rom Manager is not recommended for use on the I777 phone. You need a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery to back up the phone. Did you try to install ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager?
Need more information before we can help. So, answer the above, and provide as much detail in addition as you can.
I almost messed my phone up by not rooting or flashing a ROM the proper (safe) way and ended up using a return to stock / unroot guide to start fresh and just follow the guides for rooting and installing ROMs from there.
i'm on "I9100XWLST_I9100ODDLSE_INU" 4.1.2 india official firmware
i tried flashing "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9" recovery and flashed it successfully.
after reboot it went into recovery but my phone doesn't boot up like normal and struck at samsung logo with a caution symbol.
tried installing slimbean final build but still the same....
can any body help me to install recovery and slimbean
thnx
Do a factory reset in recovery mode, if you have no recovery mode or the reset doesn't fix the bootloop, get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin following the instruction in thread stickied near the top of Q&A to get a clean slate. Then...
Pro tip 1: Read the instructions for what you were trying to do thoroughly & understand exactly what you need to do this time, the issues you're seeing are almost always caused by not doing something that's required, flashing a wrong file, etc.
Pro tip 2: If you flash CWRecovery independently, it will only persist till the next reboot because recovery is baked into the kernel. I recommend you root your phone by flashing a custom kernel, this will give you permanent CWRecovery & you can flash whatever rom/kernel you want from there. The thread I referred to above also has a very simple root method which involves flashing a custom kernel.
I dont think the kernel supports the Roms you tried.. find a compatible one..

So I've got this issue I never had before.
It started happening after I screwed something up with the EFS I think.
I was flashing some custom roms after the 4.3 official update and then tried to go back to 4.1 official.
Had the no network problem, but fixed it flashing the vodafone stock 4.3 official again.
Reading all the stuff about EFS confused me, and I deleted the EFS folder and copied an old backup (or so I think, because I'm not sure. I had a EFS backup on my sdcard and extsd I think).
I no longer have the no network issue, but everytime I flash a stock rom through Odin the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo, so I have to root the phone and install TWRP using Odin and then wipe. I know this way fixes this, but what I'm looking for is to fixed the problem completely so I don't have to install a custom recovery or root after using Odin to go back to official samsung rom.
Any ideas?
What should I do?
Maybe the phone gets stuck at the samsung logo because all of this EFS thing, but, like I said, I no longer have the no network issue.
All I want is for the phone to boot normally into the setup after flashing a samsung rom using Odin.
It just gets stuck every single time since I had this problem with the EFS, when before this never happened.
try to install the rom in recovery mode

I had this problem before (flash 4.1.2 in current 4.2.2 by odin), here's my solution.
Maybe you can install your ROM in recovery mode. (CWM based)
Remember to wipe completely before installing

I can flash custom roms through TWRP, but what I'm looking for is to be able to do so again through Odin without ending up stuck at boot always and having to wipe through TWRP to be able to boot properly.
Any ideas?
I'm sure there must be a fix so I don't get stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.
I know the trick wipe factory reset but what I really want is to simply avoid getting stuck at the boot screen after flashing a samsung rom with Odin.

Factory reset is also available in default recovery as well, then what is the issue? Flash then boot to recovery do factory reset.

Thanks.
I'm just trying to find out why my SGS3 now gets stuck at boot when before it never happened.
I'm hoping there's a way to fix it and go back to before, when it never got stuck at boot. There should be a way I guess.
So I have a Sprint Galaxy Mega and it seems as though it may be semi-bricked. It will not boot past the GALAXY MEGA logo. It will just continuously power cycle to and from that logo. If I attempt to put it in recovery, it will say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue letters as usual, then power cycle right back to the GALAXY MEGA screen. It will boot into Odin mode and accept Odin files, but after attempting do do a typical "stock Odin" scenario, nothing has changed. I looked around for the Pit but cannot seem to find it. Does anyone has a reliable link to the latest Odin stock restore and the PIT file that matches it?
Maybe an error with your system data. So you can't reboot into recovery ? If you can try to wipe data and cache and reboot.
It may be an abnormal re-partition when flashing stock rock, and then I can't help you (have the i9205 international model). Some members of this section have the Sprint version, try to send them a PM if nobody can help you
Nope, no recovery. I was considering flashing a custom recovery to it to see what it does but I don't wanna kill the phone any more than it already is...
Yes I understand. But flashing custom recovery can solve your problem, only if you can boot on it. I think it can't make more damages to your phone, he just always stuck on boot phase like a brick, but if you don't want to try, wait for a developer making you a PIT file. More safe, the Galaxy Mega have a too poor development support for risk anything...
Well I went ahead and flashed TWRP to it. It will boot into TWRP just fine. Tried flashing the stock L900 ROM zip and it still won't boot.
Well I installed a custom ROM, SlimKat, and the phone boots. If I install the stock ROM located in the following link, OP's signature, the phone goes right back to bootlooping. ???
I need either the stock ROM or a ROM with dialer codes because this phone will be flashed to a regional carrier.
what recovry version you use bro. maybe recovery problem. try use your custom rom to flash another recovery from philz. the latest one. some time recovery dont work properly to downgrade from 4.4.2 to stock 4.2.2.
Great, so with Philz Touch Recovery, I never had problems for downgrade and I do this often for testing roms. Now it should not bootloop if you reflash stock.
I am using "CWM-based recovery 6.0.4.7"
I will try Philz recovery
After trying Philz recovery to flash the stock file I found, it once again bootlooped. Is there another stock ROM floating around somewhere or possibly a custom ROM that has dialer codes such as ##3282# enabled?
No idea... But actually the most complete stock based custom rom is MegaFire I think. Flash V5 (not V5x !) it should be enabled.
I don't see what is the problem while flashing stock rom... Oh ! Maybe you haven't enabled USB Debugging, I forgot to do that one time and I had some issues, in case you try to flash a firmware where Knox or others features are on with a modem without these, may cause bootloop. I've searched for 2 days before solve that little problem...
Have you tried another firmware ? If you can flash custom rom, something went wrong before flash... Odin folder is complete ?
Strange...once again a boot loop after flashing the MegaFire ROM
I'm almost certain I need the PIT file. I cannot find it anywhere.
Well I got the phone to boot from that rooted stock ROM FINALLY. I don't remember for sure but I think what I did was first flash TWRP, then flashed boot.img.tar that I found somewhere, it was listed for the Sprint Mega. I then booted into TWRP and flashed the stock rooted ROM(zip) I mentioned before. It now boots perfectly and everything works except one tiny little detail. No WiFi, no cellular signal at all. Baseband version: unknown in About phone.Already tried flashing the Sprint stock modem from the same download link as the ROM and it didn't work.
I'm having the same problem too dude, I
I download n flash all.the firmware I could find online, since I have no idea what the country of origin is. But most of them work, but no WiFi, Bluetoothand the sim card slot don't read

I'm trying to fix an ace gt-s5839i (rooted with stock ROM) that won't boot up, it always goes straight to recovery.
I've searched for fixes on this forum (and others) and the fixes i have tried so far have not worked, these include flashing a new recovery (clockwork), flashing a whole new custom ROM (razordroid and CM) and flashing stock ROM through Odin, also it won't even let me wipe data through recovery as it will just stick on formatting data.
Any idea what is up and how i can fix it? The phone belongs to a relative of mine and he said he woke up one day and the phone was in bootloop, he took out the battery and put it back it back in and ever since then it just goes straight to recovery.

Ok , I did mention troubleshooting method for similar cases like you in many posts here mate ,, Just get yourself stock s5830i firmware compatible with your Region/Carrier and make a wipe / split packages with the help of splitfus2 or simply use one of the pre-made packages >> Follow my instruction @post#4 from the line :"1. Download one of the newest ,,," to the end of the post .
btw razordroid was obsolete and buggy at the best of the times anyway , try newer/more stable from development sub forums .
After resolving your boot loop and partition issues you may flash your newer s5839i stock fw from i,e: sammobile database on top of your s5830i over Odin ( normal flashing procedure ).
Hope I did Help you
