Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin

You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?
A lawyer doesn't lie, just manipulates truth and info

My secretary has it all the time plays a game with some birds and staff and some little humans but never ****ed it so i thought what can he do to it...

Do i need those kernel and staff?
ONE LAST QUESTION, CAN I CHOOSE ONE OTHER MEANING OF T MOBILE EVEN THOUGH I AM COSMOTE? OR AN OFFICIAL ONE OR EVEN THE LATEST OR THIS WILL DAMAGE THE SGS?
You could download CheckFus to your PC and it will find the correct firmware and I think download it too.. A bit sparse on the details as I have never used it but heard good things about it

to conclude

Your colleagues haven't a clue, stop listening to them now.

Don't panic
I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.
Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.
If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

its not logged..cosmote is from greece, but we try to import as many things we can so my country helps them. i am from cyprus as well. its not locked to Cosmote.
Please check the picture i will reupload to tell me what is it... if its bokk1 for sure...
If you're not locked, any Cosmote firmware should be fine.
For one last check, dial *#1234# on your phone and post what it says for PDA, Phone and CSC.
So, I installed a Rom without a backup and I'd like to go back on the factory stock ROM.
I'm in Canada on Telus S3 SGH-i747 factory rom…can anyone help??
I did go on the samsung site but the feature to find the proper version based on the country doesn't seem to work on my phone (To obtain them simply open dialpad and type: for PCode *2767*4387264636# and for PDA/PHONE/CSC *#1234#.)
Now, I'm stuck with this ROM that isn't working too well, I don't have a backup, KiES won't recognize my phone in windows, what to do?
Anyone have a factory ROM for the above model? What are my options?
(PS: I learn my leason - back up!)
1. Search for checkfus
2. Download it
3. Use checkfus to download stock rom (use google and xda to find out how)
4. Reflash stock using odin
No worries and good luck

Awesome! I hope this works. I'll give it a shot in a few mins and keep you posted.
WARNING!
You do not have a international version. As a safety precaution it is good practice to hang around your own board. I have seen people unconsciously flash and brick their phones here

Checkfus only tells me if updates are available.

In dialer app, dial *#1234# that shows you what you currently have.
If you feel uncomfortable you might just search for a link in the forums (personally I prefer to get the stock rom from samsung).
Maybe have a look around here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848 (not sure if it's the correct one for you)
good luck...

There is a SGS3 board in XDA for the US variant. I'm on my phone so I can't copy and paste a link. But browse through and you will find it. If you have sprint it will say sprint sgs3.

Spoke with Samsung Update, there isn't any Canadian rom available yet!
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Coming soon.
I'm currently trying to download from Sammobile but they host their ROMs with Hotfile.com, and I currently have a wait in excess of 7hrs - unless I pay for a membership.
Does anyone have I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_BTU.zip in their Dropbox or something that I can download a bit quicker? Or know where else I can find it?
Better take a back up of another similar device's ROM and flash it.
I think you can't get it anywhere except from hot file.

Will be a .tar if flashing via odin, not zip.
All firmwares are on sammobile.com
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
It shouldnt take 7 hrs.
Or just get it from the stock roms thread in general :/
With zip file, can we flash it in recovery ?

Have you looked in the stock roms thread or do you not have a saved original firmware have you tried Google .

Thanks, I'm presuming the .zip will contain the .tar when decompressed.
I did search the forums first before posting and only came up with this thread which contains links to SamMobile and hence Hotfiles:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
And this thread which just contains links to really old firmwares (I don't want to install and then have to update it, just want to do it all at once):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
My current download via sammobile (and their hosting service hotfiles) is currently downloading at 25 KB/sec :-/
850 MB is going to take a looooong time, hence my posting this question.
If anyone can link me to somewhere else I can download the stated file quicker than 7hrs then I would be immensely grateful.

I've got a really old Three UK stock firmware, but I want the generic UK ROM on this phone before I pass it on.
If you can point me to a thread that I haven't mentioned in my last post then that would be great.
I've tried searching Google but only got links to hotfiles, sites blocked by my broadband provider, or malicious sites which try and get me to download an .exe!!
Spoof fw might be worth a try .

Try this if you want, its from my own personal backup and is the file you are asking for, extract the MD5 file and flash using odin

My friend told me to try 'zbigz' you have to give link to them and they will download that file and you can download the file from them with high speed and resume capability also

Hotfile has been taken down. Whats needed is another hoster for official roms. Samobile is ok but the hoster they use (Terafile), if you dont have a premium account, the download times are frustratingly long. Just tried to download a rom (I9300XXEMG4) and the download time is 5 hrs and Im on a 78mb connection
Having trouble finding stock roms, can anyone point me in the right direction of where I can find what Im looking for?? Those that I have found are eiter hosted by hotfile, which has been taken down or on the Sammobile and Terafile which unless you are a premium memeber, the download times are horrendous. Im looking for unbranded roms. Not looking to root and install custom roms at this time. Thanks in advance guys, any help with this will be be very much appreciated
Also looking for this
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 which since I did a factory reset now sticks on the Samsung logo however I can boot into recovery and into download (the phone was rooted before I did factory reset but I am not bothered about preserving root as I just want to sell it) All I want to do it install a standard samsung stock rom. In download mode Odin 3.07 sees the device so I presume that I cold flash the stock rom from there IF I could find one - the damn us government has taken down hotfiles and like the OP I can only find premium sources. As I say I dont mind if the rom is rooted or not just as long as it returns the phone to working order - I dont have any data to worry about

The problem here is that I cannot get into the phone to check the firmware! It is an unlocked UK version of GT-i9300 and someone suggested "BTU" was the right one but this isn't listed on the site you gave - at least not with BTU in the name - there are so many listed and none with even any indication of country
I clicked download on the most likely one which is I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300OXAGMJ9_BTU.zip - I didnt see BTU until I got to the download step - is this likely to be a UK unlocked one or would I be taking a risk installing it?
Okay. I have done the research and surfed every possible forum that i can see from (however i could be wrong) and still have yet to find a way to unbrick this phone successfully. I have tried everything from One Clicker to Odin to Kies and none seem to work. I would greatly appreciate any advice on this device from anyone that has one and bricked it or knows someone who has bricked it. I am not looking for a miracle just a friendly solution that will maybe help not only me but i am sure many other unfortunate US cellular Mega victims that have yet to get their hands on the official firmware. In the mean time i will continue to tinker and if i came across any thing i will update as soon as possible. Thanks in advance and hopefully myself or someone else can find a solution.
Okay updating status on this unfortunately everything I tried did not work. So to save any us cellular mega users a heart ache hold off on rooting until a valid real root for this provider and model omes out. Or at least until the official firmware is released. Sorry I could not find a viable solution.
