Firmware Will Not Flash!!!!!!! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

My phone is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900T. A while back I decided to root it. After rooting it, I realized you cannot use Snapchat and I wanted to unroot it. Now, that I am trying to unroot it and return it back to stock; it won't. Yes it is unrooted and I know this because I installed Snapchat and used it last night. That is not the problem. The root is GONE. No matter what I do I cannot get it to flash a different firmware. I used a superuser, that was posted in here. It was like superuser something zip. It was not the old way, like when you flashed it through Odin. This one you actually unzipped it through the Team Win recovery. And the ROM that I used, Is the one that is on here now that I cannot get it off. It is a Marshmallow 6.0.1. I found posted in here too. If this helps, the emojis are not the flat minimalist looking ones, like Twitter uses. They are very round raised embossed kind of shiny and cartoon-ish looking. I have went to a post in here with all the firmwares listed, I went to samsung update and to sammobile. I have gotten different builds for my model of phone. And nothing this will not get off. I have tried to restore it back to stock and no it will not? Why can't I get this rom off my phone? :crying:Can anyone help me. I feel like I am crazy. But I can assure you this is the truth!
Please help and thanks!

Are you sure its a G900T? and not the T3 ?I have no problem flashing a stock rom to my G900T.What Odin version are you using?I have a post that has the newest stock rom on the page..Try downloading that one,and unzipping it,then flash it with Odin....Heres a link to the posting... https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/recent-odin-flashable-bootloaders-t3574276

Have you tried using Samsung KIES:
http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
It will return you to stock.

It is a SM-G900T, it is unlocked if that made a difference? I was able to get this G900TUVU1FOG6_G900TTMB1FOG6 to flash to it. And then it upgraded a few times over night. It seems to be fine. But it still does not have the new emojis, is that a Samsung thing? Doesn't the emojis in the Marshmallow update look similar to the Twitter emojis?

Like I stated in my post. I wanted to be able to use my Snapchat again. You cannot use Snapchat with any rooted devices. So, I wanted to return my phone to stock. What I probably should do is get rid of this outdated phone and get me new one ASAP.

[Q] - Why can't I find the Stock Touchwiz - only the old honeycomb

I would like the files to ODIN the stock Touchwiz update from late 2011.
I would then write a guide for everyone on how to return the tab to stock... this is asked way too much.
I do NOT want to write the guide updating everyone to the old honeycomb.
Anyone have ODIN files for returning to stock touchwiz?

"Stock" and "touchwiz," at least on this forum, are mutually exclusive. I honestly have no idea what you're asking for. Do you want android 3.1 or 3.2? If you want 3.2, you're stuck with touchwiz; there is no stock 3.2 ROM available. If you want a stock 3.1 without touchwiz, that can be found in the dev forum.
If you want a guide on how to return a tab to stock (and the only reason I can imagine someone would want to do this would be to send it in for warranty service), theres a guide in the sticky in the dev subforum, and also team overcome has a great method with all the downloads both on their ROM post and on their website (with great instructions too).
Simply asking for an ODIN version of the TouchWiz update. That is stock... not rooted/tweaked.

I think you need to read up on this a bit more because that doesn't exist.
Here's a little history for you: Touchwiz was an update to samsung's android 3.1 build that came out after 3.1 was released (so you can get both stock 3.1 and touchwiz 3.1 builds). Touchwiz was integrated into the 3.2 build. So the only "touchwiz upgrade" i can think of was an OTA upgrade to 3.1. I don't think flashing that will get you anywhere. If you're looking for the stock 3.2 build from samsung (and I suspect you are), go to samfirmware.com. If you really did search the forum you'd have found this everywhere, including in the sticky in the dev forum.
But there's no need to write a guide. Use CWM to flash the stock ROM, and then use ODIN to flash stock recovery. That's all it takes; you now have a stock tab.
^ I appreciate your response... I am just pointing out that I have never seen the touchwiz stock ODIN that one could flash... only honeycomb.
edit: and considering that almost daily there is a post about getting back to stock, I would say a guide is warranted.
If you can help do that, great.
coming from this same line its also helpful if the instruction would be basing from the download of the recent or older firmware, which should be from the downloads from sammobile.com that we all know provides all the stock roms, latest and versions before.
reverting stock means, the latest official: recovery (not cwm), kernel, and the firmware (rom) itself. these all 3 components, not kernel or firmware only. nothing straightforward is provided here, all bits and pieces on scattered threads but don't coherently work well with each other, mainly because they're abandoned or not updated anymore by their OPs.
another reason for reverting back to stock aside from warranty chase, is so that kies will be able to just update the tab to its latest firmware, or even ota. this is basically how the tab provided by samsung should be for a really basic end user without even knowing what root is.
then above average users can always do their rooting and after mods cleanly, knowing they came from the real clean stock and can always go back either by cwm backup/restore or manually everything from scratch.

This is not intended as a flame, but from what you've written I am not certain you understand what you're talking about. Touchwiz is basically Samsung's theme running on top of honeycomb. No honeycomb = no touchwiz. Also, you still need to make a distinction between 3.1 and 3.2 ... Regardless, as far as I know there is no touchwiz-enabled ROM that can be flashed with ODIN.
Anyways, there is a very good guide on teamovercome's site which is unfortunately down right now. Here's a link to the site; since it's down I can't link directly to the guide:
http://www.teamovercome.net/
^ I am perfectly aware of what TouchWiz is.
I am simply trying to find the files to load in ODIN that would allow someone to boot up to the stock (not rooted or debloated) setup of the TouchWiz update in late 2011.
I do not want to go back to honeycomb 3.1. Not sure how I can say it more plainly.
Does this exist? If not in ODIN, in a flashable zip?
here's a 3.2 stock (non rooted) ROM

The 'touchwiz update" was for 3.1.
3.2 came with touchwiz baked in.
If this is what you're looking for, then you're looking for the samsung android 3.2 update, not the "touchwiz update." I don't know how I could say this more clearly.
If you read my posts, I answered your question. What you're looking for does not exist. If you need stock (god knows why) just follow the many guides that already exist (or the instructions I gave earlier).
Anyways, I can't help you any further without pulling my hair out. Maybe someone else has more patience. Good luck.

Honestly man, it may be better to not answer at times.
You do not understand me. Perhaps I am not saying things clearly enough. O well.
I want the files to return a device to STOCK 3.2.... not 3.1 Honeycomb which is all I see. I consider "stock" to be an unaltered version of the update (or original) firmware... I also prefer to go to the latest "stock" setup, not 3.1 HC.
You said it does not exist, I laugh at that.
I would like this because many people:
a - ask this all the time
b - want it for servicing/warranty
c - prefer to return to stock before switching to a new rom.
I prefer to use ODIN since I know and like ODIN.
If this does not make sense, do not respond or sound rude please.

I believe this is KMM not KMN. If so you may get an update to KMN after you flash this
it is labeled as KMM but this would be the stock first instance of 3.2

I did check out that zip... It looked like it was the one Samsung pulled for wifi issues. I know like a week or so later they rolled it out again, but I did not know if there was a different build, I assumed so.
Thank you for posting that by the way, got carried away with all the other madness. Thanks!
note the wifi problem was due to the installer not the rom itself. if flashing and not installing via OTA or Kies - it should not have that problem

[Q] Samsung Conquer 4G STOCK 2.3.4 ROM

I am looking for a stock 2.3.4 Samsung Conquer ROM, it does not have to be rooted. I currently work testing Sprint's new Net Vision sites and our test phones pulled an OTA update to FC17 (Android 2.3.6) and we can no longer change our PRL's manually to test the new sites. I've not been able to find any 2.3.4 ROM's anywhere and I'm hoping the dev community can help.
Also, Sprint and Samsung have been no help so far. We also have other Conquers that are still on 2.3.4, so if there is a procedure to pull a nandroid backup or copy of 2.3.4 from those phones and flash them on the 2.3.6 phones, I'd appreciate someone letting me know how to do that as well.
I need this also, I wish somebody would post it, have you had any luck so far?

I already have a stock rooted rom. Yesterday I finally got a stock unrooted FC17 odin image, works perfectly, let me update to FE16, and I can still go back to root if i need to with odin. Once i get off work i can dropbox em if you or anyone else is interested.

[Q] Trouble With Galaxy S2

Hey guys,
Firstly, I am new, but I had a look around and I've seen similar issues to this, but I haven't seen this particular issue, so I hope I'm not posting a thread that's just like another one, and if I am, sorry for the annoyance, I honestly thought there wasn't one.
Okay, so I'm having trouble with a Galaxy S2 I9100
The trouble is, I rooted the phone, and then installed CyanogenMod 9 (The latest build that was available yesterday) everything was working great, but it's my mum's phone, and she decided she didn't like it because of the colours and apparently the calendar was boring. (I know, I know, that's silly )
So after having CM9 installed I tried to unroot and go back to the original rom (following the instructions that I found on (I can't post links yet, so) www dot galaxys2root dot com) EXCEPT where it says to install original firmware, it has a link to download version I9100XXLPQ, I instead downloaded and installed the exact build that was on my phone prior to installing CM9, which was I9100XWLP8
After that I got the great honour of watching the Samsung GALAXY S II logo flash for over an hour while the phone was trying to boot, so I gave up on that idea. I then put CM9 back on, to see if the phone was bricked or not, and CM9 booted up within a few minutes, and worked perfectly. So I tried the "unroot" method again, this time using the firmware version they suggested, and have come into the same problem. :crying:
What I'm wondering is, am I missing something? Or are the instructions faulty?
Any help will be much appreciated, thanks guys, don't mean to be a bother. :highfive:

I'd like to know if I'm able to flash this rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50359886#post50359886 )
I have root & never have updated so still on 4.2.2. (I also have MDK for my kernel, so that's good.....)
It's also been a long time since I've flashed so was wondering what recovery I needed for this & what I need in case I mess up something.... Thanks!

Thank you so very much for replying!!! I Was going to reply on the main thread but need 10 post lol.... I'm not active and I've made my account in 2010 you'd think though I'd have 10 post by now xD.... thanks a lot though!
Edit
Can you direct me to a flash file in case I mess up? I use to have all of this stuff and my computer crashed and it's been so long I don't remember how s4 works I'm doing it for my uncle cuz he said he's s4 is slow and rebooting a lot and going into safe mode. Also is there a throttle mod maybe like for the lg g3 wher it won't throttle until hit like 75c?
Edit 2:
Never mind I found this http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/08/flash-firmware-for-galaxy-s4-odin.html .
But what about some cool mods to use to speed up stuff like I said before a throttle mod? Thanks.
Edit 3:
What's the difference in 4.4.2 and 4.4.4? I have the lg g3 on 4.4.2 and love it but want the best so the phone runs smooth.
edit 4:
is the latest version dark too?
Get a MDK no wipe tar and Odin 3.07. The original Oein site is overtaken and I got viruses from it...
Unsure about a throttle mod. Never used anything like that. Little difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 but under the hood stuff. Unsure about what you mean with the latest version being dark. Look at the ROM info. I'd suggest cynanogenmod IMO if you don't like Echoe

Yeah I'm just looking for a stock rom that has kitkat that is stable to run smooth and only one I came across was that one I found. (I don't think the galaxy s4 got much love in the rom department. . . But it was a great phone : )

Why can I not root my phone properly?

Hello XDA-Forums!
Lately I've upgraded from Android 4.4.4 to Android 7.0 Nougat.
My old phone used to be rooted, which I was happy with.
Now I have a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) which is running on Android 7.0
Straight away I tried rooting my device like I did with my old phone, using KingoRoot for PC. But unfortunately, that didn't work. I
also tried using other 3rd party software such as KingRoot but no luck either.
I had a look on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/sm-g930-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337353/page1
So I tried rooting my phone using CF Auto-Root, with Odin v3.10.6, but that didn't work at all and also caused my device to go into a boot-loop and made a message appear. The message was "Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing". So I had no choice but to flash to Stock firmware.
My question is, why can I not root my phone properly? Am I doing something wrong?
Hope someone knows the answer to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Old methods dont work with latest devices, especially with latest security features and bootloader restrictions.
You can still root it using this guide.
