Question.what are the correct steps to push stock firmware via odin. My current phone is a galaxy s5 with tmobile. It's the ob1 variant of 5.0. Now I am rooted and I flashed a custom rom as well as a few other things. I've been having various issues and I want to start over, go back to stock and start over fresh but don't want anything left that may cause issues. Thanks
Moved to the SGS5 Tmobile Q&A Forum.
You just need to download Odin, find the correct TAR file, download that, and make sure the drivers are there for your phone, then you put the phone in DL mode, start up Odin, press the PDA button, find the TAR, and start. Just make 100% sure the firmware is right for your device.

i have a samsung vibrant and its running 2.2 on it that i got from minni kies and its rooted but i cant flash any new roms on it im kinda new to this so any help would be nice im try to run a boot animation on it and going to get ffc soon i need the best rom and so on and please tell me step by step
thanks
You need to modify the stock to recovery because we don't have the signature keys that allow flashing of different firmware on the phone.
This is a decent guide.
Or if you have Odin working on your PC, follow this guide. After getting back to stock firmware, root-->install rom manager w/CWM recovery-->flash custom firmware.
Edit: forgot MCL homie.

so what one will let me downgrade the frimware? and will it walk me though it? but i cant get odin on my computer cuz the website is down
I found this some dude named (DJ Quick) on Big Resource said to do this
(You're still running the stock rom, you just rooted your phone, that's all. Here's what I would do:
1. Uninstall Rom Manager first.
2. Unroot your phone.
3. Go to your dialer, and type in *2767*3855#. This code is used for factory format.
It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage,
and reinstall the phone firmware from when you first took it out of the box. )
but i tryed it it didnt bring me to android 2.1....
Check out the program AIO vibrant something in the dev section. Its pretty good.
Its like the first sticky in the dev forum.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
You can get the needed software in the sticky Noob in the general section by S15274N you will need
your USB drivers from Samsung loaded on your computer
Odin 1.7 or higher (this will load on your computer as well)
2.1 JFD stock tar. and 512 pit file
Superoneclick rooting file (you can get this from unlockr.com or other places)
Look in the noob bible for the how to or do a search for a video pon youtube there are a number of them
Reflash to stock then> boot up the phone then> root the phone then> reboot the phone> then Download Rom manager then> then hookup the phone to the computer again make sure debugging is clicked on and place the custom rom you want on your internal sd card then> use the Clockwork mod in that program and boot into recovery then > pick install zip from sd card then pick choose sd card then flash that then > reboot and you are done.
Before doing this make sure you have backed up all you information on to the computer as well as making a nandroid backup
Hope that gets you going....... cheers

Have you tried this method? Looks like others are having success and as stated in the OP this process does not look to require ODIN although you will need access to a PC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479
This is the method i have used to Root in the past(never from official 2.2 via kies) and it looks like this wont werk for you jump to last couple pages. Although if i were in ur shoes this would still be my prefered method(as this is the way i've always done it and i am personally comfortable with) If it were me i would ODIN to stock 2.1 and then root from there this way. If you chose this route of course you will need access to a PC and ODIN as well. Good luck!
also i have heard good things of this so called "AIO toolbox" as the kidz like to call it these days

These seem to be the stock Korean SII firmware for the two main carriers:
For SHW-M250K (KTF firmware) http://matpclub.com/s/pxeboard31/2706591
For SHW-M250S (SKT firmware) http://matpclub.com/s/pxeboard31/2698765
It's a torrent? It's just been uploaded (as in, just then, lol) so no seeds, give it some time I guess. Time for me to go back to the stock firmware maybe.
Anyone more experienced willing to grab them and go over them?

anyone find call recording in there?
I desperately need the SHW-M250K (KTF firmware) but I can´t work out how to get the torrent file and the megaupload links seem to be dead (at least they can´t be opened in China).
Whenever o try to download HOME_M250K.EE05.0315_CL186865_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.torrent , I just get another page in korean and can´t get through it
You need to sign up for an account to download the torrent file.
I've attached them anyway, there seems to be two EE05 torrents, dunno what's going on there.
Thanks a lot
I was trying to root a SHW-M250K with XWKDD_insecure but something went wrong, so i think now the best thing to do is re-flash the firmware and try again. Which torrent is for the (KTF firmware)?
Did you root yours?
XWKDD_insecure will work, it'll root fine but you'll be stuck in a boot loop. Just need to reflash the stock kernel afterwards.
Mine's rooted and purring along nicely. I'm using the latest M250K.EE19 with the overclock kernel from here: http://matpclub.com/s/?mid=pxeboard10&category=1191749&document_srl=2804608
I used the S2 ED24 rooting kernel (from here?) to root it first. Again, it did a boot loop but the root worked fine, just flashed the OC kernel afterwards.
For EE05 just flash the rooting kernel, root it and reflash the stock kernel. Done.
I suggest you sign up for http://matpclub.com/s/matcl
Considering you have the Korean model it's almost a necessity.
sorry for all the question but I just want to know If I got this straight.
So all I have to do to is to use Odin to flash the file KT_GalaxyS2_EE05_rooting.zip and then get it back in download mode and re-flash T_GalaxyS2_EE05_stock_kernel.zip
If you're on EE05 firmware, all you have to do is:
1. Go into download mode.
2. Flash the EE05 'rooting' kernel
3. Run superoneclick and root the phone. It'll tell you if it's successful.
4. Go back into download mode and flash the stock EE05 kernel back.
I ran Odin but when i click on the PDA it doesnt allow me to choose the .zip files.
How do I flash with these .zip files?
Uh, you need to extract the tarball from the zip file. Odin will flash using the .tar file.
After a weekend of worrying about the damn phone finally your method worked like a charm, thanks so much!
I still need to figure out how to unlock it but all in due time.
I looked at http://matpclub.com/s/matcl as you mentioned but I can´t read any Korean
But thanks again for taking the time to help me, if you ever need anything from China let me know, I owe you big time .
No worries. They'll be opening up an English section of the site in a few months.
Does anyone know what the difference between the EE05 Kernal and the EE31 Kernal is? Do I want to make sure I'm at the latest version?
when I do *#1234# I get

Any idea what that means?
could you upload a Gyroscope driver from your Korean phone for my ke7 rom? i use the m250k ,but i want to flash the ke7````thx~!
thanks for the info.
Actually, I am kind of a newbie in android, now I've got SHW-M250K in my hand.
Basically, the latest firmware of my SGS2 is PDA:EE31/PHONE:EE17, and actually KIES said it is the latest firmware.
I can't understand korean language so well, so I can't understand the link that you show to us. I am still living in Korea now, but actually I am Indonesian
My SGS2 is not rooted, and I don't really familiar with "ROOT", However, could someone help me about how to root and what is the latest firmware of this phone?
Could you please make the "how-to" in a simple way that can be followed by newbie like me?
thanks in advance
I want to root my phone and I'm new this this. Can anyone post a step by step with download links? Can't navigate Korean sites. Are there risks to this?

If you follow the third link in that post, you'll end up at a site where you can download:
[Root]HOME_M250S.EG14.1208_CL380592_REV02_user_low_ship.zip
This is a pre-rooted stock firmware.
Download it, then:
Enable debug mode in your phone's applications>Development settings.
Turn the phone off.
Enter download mode. Hold down 'vol. down+Home+power' in that order. Press 'vol up' for yes.
Run odin 1.8.5 then plug your phone into your computer. Odin should light up, if not then reinstall your phone's drivers. Find them on the samsung site or install Kies.
Open 'PDA' and direct it to the .tar file you get when you extract "[Root]HOME_M250S.EG14.1208_CL380592_REV02_user_low_ship.zip"
Don't touch anything else, press Start.
It'll take a few minutes and your phone should restart at the end. If it takes longer than 5 minutes press the home button or restart your phone.
Done.

Hello guys. I helped my dad a while back to root and flash a custom rom to his Note 2. He's recently been having some trouble with it and wants to restore it to stock. He was running Beans rom I believe the dev goes by Beanstown106 or something like that. Was an older version I think build 21 or 22. Used CASUAL to root. So I have a few questions. Does it matter what version of ODIN I use or should I just get the latest? Do I need to get the app to reset the counter? He might end up sending it in for warranty. All I should need is the PIT and PDA file to flash to stock with ODIN correct?
I found this video guide and seems to be relatively simple. But I just want to make sure I don't screw it up by using wrong ODIN version or anything like that. Safe to just use the links provided in the video for PIT/PDA files? Here's the video link if anyone wants to check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qtbEevn1VA or if you have a better video guide that I should use instead or have links to share for the files I need I would appreciate it

"Do I need to get the app to reset the counter?" If you're going to return it for warranty... it would be good idea to reset the binary counter. The Triangle Away app from Chainfire is available in the Play store for this. **You'll need to run Triangle away before you restore to stock as you need to have the bootloader unlocked when you run it... or you could hard brick the phone.**
"Does it matter what version of ODIN I use or should I just get the latest?" Either of the Odin versions 3.07, 3.09, or 3.10 should work fine to restore the phone.
"All I should need is the PIT and PDA file to flash to stock with ODIN correct?" Correct. The firmware goes into PDA slot in Odin v. 3.07. In Odin 3.09 and 3.10, AP has replaced the PDA slot... so the firmware would go in AP in newer Odin versions. Pit file goes into Pit slot in either Odin version.
I think that video is a good reference to help restore the phone. I used it myself when first learning to return this phone to stock. I don't know if I would use the download links or not in the YouTube video, as I tend to stick with Xda provided links.
You've probably found Droidstyle's Restore guide already, but if not, check it out here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181 ). Section 1b has step by step instructions to restore the phone. He has a link for Odin 3.07 on his guide which should work fine. He also has the pit file for download.
Since you are on 4.1.2 bootloader... I would probably restore back to that firmware version. After you restore to stock, you can take the OTA'S to get up to 4.4.2 if you're wanting to return it for warranty (just remember that you can't downgrade back to 4.3 or 4.1.2 if you upgrade to 4.4.2). The one thing I would do after returning the phone to Stock would be to boot into recovery, then wipe cache & do a factory reset... as Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything.
Droidstyle's link for 4.1.2 looks to be down.... but recognized XDA Developer imnuts has the 4.1.2 VRAMC3 Odin file on his Android File Host site here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880932932
Good luck.
So i have never had so many problems with a phone, but this would be the first one a customer tried doing on their own.
So he downloaded the latest file from sammobile for his SCH-i605. he used odin to flash and was stuck in boot loop. I have tried many different methods to try and get his phone working. I have tried all of the alternate method files to no avail. the current file i have flashed is the VRAMC3 restore out of all the files i have tried this is 1 of very few that make it through the write. All the others fail on sboot. It currently sits on the unauthorized verizon blah blah blah. Its had no recovery since he brought it over and havent been able to get recovery back. All i have access to is download mode, some firmwares give me the kies screen talking about an error but cant get it seen in kies versions 2 and 3.
If you need any other info just ask, if i know the answer i will give it. He has no clue as to what OS he was on or even what the ROM that was on there.

If the person tried to ODIN flash the latest firmware version for the SCH-I605, then it would have been VRUFND7 4.4.2 Kit Kat. (Unfortunately... once you install 4.3 or 4.4.2 on our Note 2's, both of those firmwares lock the bootloader with no current do it yourself method to unlock it. You can't successfully flash a prior Android version onto the phone after you upgrade past 4.1.2 either because of the locked bootloader).
Check out Droidstyle's Restore Guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. You will probably need to flash the pit file with the firmware to get it to Odin flash successfully. You can grab the SCH-I605 16gb Pit file from the guide.
Even though Droidstyle's guide is a little old, it is still the same steps for restoring to 4.4.2, so if you follow the guide (section 1b), it should help you fix the phone.
He doesn't have a link for the 4.4.2 firmware, but you can grab it from Sammobile. It looks like the Sammobile site is currently down for maintenance, but the link is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/30950/I605VRUFND7_I605VZWFND7_VZW.zip/
If you're using an older ODIN, then I would probably try to use a newer Odin version like 3.0.9 or 3.10.0. Make sure you run it with Administrative privileges and disable antivirus programs.
Good luck!

Ive tried that one as well and almost all the files in that thread. When he flashed the 4.4.2 firmware the phone wouldnt boot all it did was flash the Note 2 screen. Ive used the pit file as well with no luck. Using the top file on the link fails almost instantly, VRAMC3 writes and passes but will not boot, shows the unauthorized firmware screen.
I'm wondering if he flashed a firmware onto the phone that was from a different carrier like ATT or something. If so, he may have messed up the phone so bad that it might need jtag to repair it.
You've probably already tried all the normal Odin tips like using a different usb cable, different ports on the computer (usb 2.0 port is recommended), etc... so I won't go over all those.
I've never tried it and don't know if I'd recommend it, but I recall reading some threads a while back where someone discussed trying the Nand Erase function in Odin.... (again.... I'm not saying to do that... but you may want to research it to see if it might be an option if nothing else works).
I've also read where people say that they've used Cygwin to create custom tar files... then they ODIN installed each of the separate partition files (e.g. recovery, boot, modem, system, etc...), onto their Samsung device.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to offer guidance with Cygwin and I'm not sure if either of these ideas would work, but I just thought I'd throw them out there for the sake of brainstorming for ideas. Maybe someone will respond to your request who has more knowledge and ideas.
I wish you luck with getting it fixed.
This is the Odin ROM for the PL1 update. Requires the the use of Odin, computer, and USB cable to use. This is the stock ROM pulled from Samsung Kies3. I've flashed it inside Odin, and it upgraded my device without wiping contents, but I cannot promise the same result for everyone.
To (re)root, follow this:

The file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2iEgzRTFjrQdlhNSlg5bkE4WVE/view?usp=drivesdk
So what does the PL1 update get you? Does it improve the radio modem operations? Is it just so it will work with Nougat?
It's a security update, that's all. Note 3 is done with OS upgrades. 5.0 will be the last official

Hya there..
I have been following all your posts about flashing the PL1 update through either Odin or TWRP. I am familiar with both, but wanted to ask for insight on my particular setup.
Model SM 900P (Sprint)
Im still on 4.4.2 Kitkat Killer and has been doing well but looking to upgrade if I can find a good ROM.
I am still on baseband version NC5
Kernel 3.4.0 BeastMode
I figure I would be smart to flash the Baseband and Modem to the PL1 but would of course like to keep root and keep my TWRP recovery.
Ultimately I would like to flash the DarkLord ROM or even Resurrection Remix ROM for the Note 3 on CDMA (Sprint)
This is my daily driver, and cannot afford to frag my phone so I want to be sure I make the best choices.
If I follow your posts I would do best to downlowad your TWRP Stock Pre Root zip file, and simply "recover' the file as if I was doing any normal TWRP recovery. This would then put me back to Stock Lollipop and upgrade my Modem and Baseband and get me the latest security updates (well fairly recent anyways).
In lieu of that, I can ODIN the PL1 file offered by you and this would in effect 'factory reset' my phone as if I just bought it from Sprint (well you know what I mean) and would re install all my apps etc (through Titanium Backup etc).
From there I can try Resurrection or DarkLord Mod's and load them like any ROM install?
Thanks for double checking my train of thought...
Dave
Thanks! This helped me out.
@Unidave199 -
Use ODIN to push Greaper88's PL1 file to your phone. (now you are updated.) (I just used it, it works.)
Use ODIN to push a recovery to your phone like TWRP
Find yourself a ROM you like (Darklord's is good.)
Flash ROM via TWRP (Read the ROM's OP's entire instructions for flashing.)
Final step....Enjoy!

I hope this is the right thread for this...
Pardon my ignorance here, it's been a few years since I frequented this forum, or even XDA...
Is this what I want to use to get back to total stock, unrooted for resale?
(I've been rocking the Note 3 since it came out, FINALLY upgraded to something newer, and want to sell this to a sprint user.)
Yes it is
Just use the "CSC" file and not the "HOME_CSC." This should completely reset the device and clear user data.
