Hey everyone, I gave up on my note about a year ago (rip, still miss the swappable batteries and easy back button) and would like to reset it. From what I remember, the phone has TWRP installed and boots to the stock rom slot every boot. How can I reset this to full stock? Can I use the built in recovery or would that have been wiped?

Thank you for the assistance, I just want to confirm I am doing this right.
I got the file from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900V/VZW/download/N900VVRUEOF1/54179/
Its a single .md5 file, named N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5
and a dll file, do I need this dll?
The instructions https://paste.ee/p/vaaNq
Say "Add each file to it's respective field in Odin v3.13.1. Use CSC_*** if you want to do a clean flash or HOME_CSC_*** if you want to keep your apps and data."
I want to do a full wipe, does that mean I rename the file or not? And which slots do I check / load files into, just AP?

If you only have one file put it in the AP slot. Don't worry about the CSC, check or uncheck the right boxes and start Odin. If it doesn't wipe everything and I think it will, you can do a factory reset after the install. Good luck.

Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
I've downloaded odin (the phone is rooted) and was told to download a new ROM and then use the PDA button on odin. But the only file type it expects is MD5, tar and SMD. Whenever I download a ROM, I just get a ZIP?
I'm probably being stupid. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, I just want the phone working.

What ROM do you want to flash?
If it's a stock ROM, then extract the zip file and flash the contained tar/md5 file with Odin.
If it is a custom ROM and only provided as CWM-flashable zip file, then use a stock ROM to flash first and flash the custom ROM afterwards, when everything works again.
Here you can get the latest stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, or pre-rooted stock ROMs from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071, or use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/ to check for the latest officiallly released firmware versions for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't care which ROM I use - As long as I get the phone working again. I did download 7comp ROM but I couldn't find any .tar files?
I also converted the ZIP to a TAR but odin isn't picking it up ?!
OK - I've downloaded and installed the latest stock ROM you posted.
It seems to have installed, but doesn't go past the splash screen which says samsung galaxy Sii
Any ideas?
[EDIT] - Phone fixed. I was able to load it into recovery mode and cleared cache. woo
Well done ...now try to go on recovery mode ...if should be able to go....do full wipe...then clear delvik cache...then advance- fix permission ..
Then reboot system ....you are done...
Don't forget to say thanks..

Attempted to root the phone but it didn't work.
I followed a set of instructions, and was asked to wait for the phone to reboot. It now has the "!" rooted icon but won't go past the rooted screen.
System restore and clearing cache doesn't set it back to factory default. Any ideas?

Sorry for late reply. I followed a video on youtube showing you how to root the phone. It looked succesfull as the "!" did appear, but it wouldn't go past that.
So I rolled it back using the original ROM and have given up on rooting it. It's a shame as I really liked Jelly Bean

to root ur phone, just dwnld the .tar file of Siyah v4.1.5 fro the link below, then put ur phone into Dwnld mode and connect to ODIN in ur PC and flash by putting the siyah kernel file(.tar) in PDA section, ur phone will be rooted
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/09/08/siyahkernel-s2-v4-1/
PS- do see that u dwnld the file meant to flash by ODIN ie Download tar (for Odin)
Just flash a siyah v.4 rooted kernel through odin.
Hey guys. I own the Samsung galaxy sIII (gt i9300) . I have very recently rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 10.1.
Now the cyanogenmod is nice but it still has a lot of bugs and it lacks in a lot of aspects in comparison to the stock rom (i.e. touchwiz) as touchwiz has a lot of nifty features like smart view, smart stay , multi window etc
Now i would like to unroot my device and go back to the stock rom which was jb 4.1.2 .
Is it possible to downgrade from 4.2 to 4.1.2 ?
if yes then a complete tutorial would be highly appreciated for my problem . Thanks in advance. :laugh:
Yes, it's possible to go back, and for ease, I recommend wiping the FULL internal storage. You can always flash a 4.1.2 rom with Odin for PC.
It's not necessary to unroot just because you want to go back to the stock firmware. Or do you want to be able to get FOTA's?
1. Go here and select your OS, phone and region and then download the corresponding firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
2. Unpack it with WinRAR, 7zip or what you use.
3. Unpack the "Odin_3.04 files.zip" or whatever zip is alongside the odin tar file.
4. Boot your phone into download mode by holding Power+Home+Down button until the download mode appears, select yes/continue to go to the actual download/ODIN mode
5. Open ODIN and check if your phone's found. There should be a blue windows with some text in it like "COM:0" and that it says "connected" or "found" in the output window.
6. Click the PDA button and add your tar file which you extracted,¨
7. Make sure that "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" both are ticked an NO OTHER BUTTON WHATSOEVER!
8. When your firmware has successfully flashed and your phone reboots, force it to reboot into recovery mode by pressing and holding power+home+volume up and in the recovery select to factory reset by formatting/wiping data. BEWARE: This will format your entire internal memory, but is actually worth it when going from 4.2 to 4.1.2 since 4.2 has a different internal structure.
Sorry for threadjack, but i posted something almost identical to this 6 min after your thread

Okay and just to double check, theres no need of using nandroid backup right? because i read it somewhere that if you downgrade from 4.2 to 4.1.2 then the phone goes into an endless bootloop

err so if you flash a stock rom via ODIN over CM10.1 that's not unrooting? when you flash a stock rom you do lose root access. i've flashed my S3 back to ICS and JB a few times to get the damn firmware changes i needed and every time i wanted to go back to CM10.1 I had to reroot the phone.

Durr, obviously it removes root as it overwrites the system and the stock firmware you're flashing doesn't have the root files in there. However, if you use mobile odin as I use, you have an option to let it root for you.

And after removing, the problem persist until u reboot and goes back to normal.

So, if I'm running CM 10.1 and want to go back to stock rom, rooted. I can't just clear cache/dalvik and flash the CWM recovery-lte-sgs3-sprint-v5.zip then flash Galaxy-s-fre3-md4firmaremodemAIO.zip ??

Hi, my P7500 3G is currently on a custom ROM running 4.4.2, and I would like to unroot it and downgrade back to 3.2 or 4.0.4 stock as I am planning to sell it off. But if I recall correctly, repartitioning was required when the jump to 4.2 was made. So how will this affect me if I am trying to downgrade it?
Thank in advance!
Just download the correct tar.md5 files from Sammobile and flash it using Odin then access stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot. You should be good to go, that's the way I downgrade my tab and I don't see any abnormalities.

As long as the stock rom and stock recovery files are correct, there should not be any issues? I will try to flash using ODIN for rom, previously tried to flash using cwm, but keep getting an error..
Yes as long as the files for the device are correct, go on and continue and CWM doesn't support tar.md5 and you may want to look at the deepsleep for the p7500 for a better battery life. Here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39906672

Just that all your files will be in a "0" folder because of the sdcard changes in 4.2. You would have to manually move them out of the 0 folder. But since you're planning to sell it, you can just wipe your internal memory in recovery.

Okay, just wanna let you guys know that I have successfully flash back to stock using ODIN. The first time I did it, the device was stuck at the Samsung logo. I waited until about 45 minutes and decided to force restart and enter recovery to wipe data and cache. After which, the device was able to boot successfully into Android.
Thank you for all your help!

you dont want to flash anything newer bc you will lose custom recovery.
my recommended procedure: after flashing that tar in odin, boot your phone, dont take any updates, and use towel root to root your phone, flashify to flash twrp, then flash your ROM of choice
ya sorry, definitely wouldn't want to loose custom recovery. i never had that option since i started on NG6. i'm stuck with safestrap!
This is the Odin flashables for the PH1 update retrieved from Kies3. I find it different that the ROM is in four files, and I don't know how to combine them. You will actually need to select all four check boxes in Odin 3.11 or newer, and select the correct files based on their prefixes. Just a reminder: remember to backup everything so you don't lose anything!

Thank you for this, if I'm wanting to keep my custom recovery and be rooted would I just select the BL, CP, and CSC then flash the stock rooted in TWRP? And can I load all 3 in Odin at once or is there an order I should flash in? I remember when I flashed to OK2 I had to do a specific order and pull the battery in between, wasn't sure if that's still the case. Thanks in advance.
I honestly don't know about the custom recovery using the Odin flash. You could try it, but you'd have to reinstall your SU binaries. These files will not work in TWRP. As for loading the files in Odin, yes, you load all of them at the same time. I would recommend trying the prerooted ROM I posted first.

Thank you, the pre-rooted ROM is in 7zip, doesn't it have to be zipped? Should I just extract and zip?
**edit** Nevermind, I bit the bullet and flashed the Odin file then my custom recovery afterwards. All is working, thank you for the guide and files.
Problem extracting files from the PHI zip
I'm trying to extract the files to a folder, but getting "unknown compression method" error so files won't extract. Is this common? Anyone seen this before? Is there another way to extract the files so I can load them individually into Odin?
Thanks
