Hi, I installed null on my Gear, but it gave me lot of problems so I decided to restore the stock firmware. I have done lot of searches, but since I am a newbie a didn't understand what to do. First i don't know where to get the ROM file. I found a thread listing all the stock ROMs for the various regions, but there are no download links, the author just says "you know where"... ehm I don't actually know where so I am totally confused. Plus, I don't actually know what to do with the ROM file once I download it.
Ok I know this could be a very noob question, but I am really confused, because all the guides are not so clear and sometimes they use some kind of coded language (is this cool?) and I can't get the meaning of any the expressions used, understanding anything. I just need to know what to download (just need a link) and how to flash it in order to restore my gear to stock ROM. Thanks for your patience, hope you can help.

Hello, thanks for your precious help and sorry for the late answer. I found the download page, but I just can't download the file: when I select the one I need, it redirects me to a page where I can choose two mirrors. One simply doesn't work (RapidGator) and the other one (TeraFile) redirects me to a site where I choose regular download, complete the captcha and then just wait, and wait, and wait and nothing happens (chrome acts like loading a new page, showing the tiny "spinning wheel" near the title of the tab but nothing happens). Hope you can help finding a new link

Hi, thanks a lot, but I tried again after a few hours and it did work. I forgot to post, since I was at work. Sorry, my bad. By the way I flashed the file, but it didn't work: my gear was stuck at boot displaying the samsung logo. So I tried to recover it using Kies and it did work, and now it runs it's own original ROM. Sorry again for forgetting to post how I solved and thanks for your interest.

Well, i think you don't actually need those files: if you restore the device using Kies it works flawlessly. All you need to know is your device's serial number, and it's printed on the side of its original box.

It downloads from www.sammobile.com
I'm pretty sure it downloads the latest official firmware, since it actually says "Downloading" in the first phase of the procedure.
Only gave option to upgrade to latest firmware. Got the .md5 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631244

V700XXUBNC1_V700OXABNC1_HOME.tar.md5 ??
Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Note for a little over 2 years now and am running a custom ROM on it.
I'm planning to sell it off and see if I can get a new phone so I wanted to flash the stock 4.1.2 ROM but the download link on sammobile, for some reason, doesn't work.
Everytime I click the download button it gives me the error "User not logged in. Go to our forums to log in." even though I am logged in.
I tried making a new account, I tried a different browser, I tried clearing the cache and cookies. I even tried to download it through my phone but everything failed.
I also tried Dr. ketan's links but they were expired as well.
If someone could give me an alternate link to download the 4.1.2 firmware for India it would be very helpful.
Thanks
p.s - I tried searching around for a solution but I couldn't find any that would give me better result so I decided to start a thread. Sorry if its already been answered. A link would be greatly appreciated.

i wanted to root my xperia T but unfortunately DooMLoRD's guide doesn't work for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472, i tried it out but it didn't do anything after getting daemon started.
i got the phone with JB 4.3 already so i thought that might be the reason, the build is 9.2.A.0.295 so i want to ask how to root it
TowelRoot has been confirmed to work for the T on 4.3 firmware, see topic in the General section

You need to reboot into the recovery and flash the GApps (Google Apps) which should have all the sync and play store files to work

hmm, I think I'd start from scratch, not sure where you went wrong or if my idea would have worked.
Flash stock android (an FTF) and re-root this will definitely fix things up

Many times developers don't specifically state that you must wipe data, but the fact that not doing so generally gives rise to so many errors, that I'm surprised people still "dirty flash" and complain about errors.
On the other hand, if clearing data for the play store/google framework/etc. didn't work as @matt4321 suggested, and you are still can't access the play store after flashing an FTF (and having wiped /data, obviously), then it's most likely a problem with the GAPPS that come with your FTF/ROM that you flashed (unlikely), or a problem with your internet connection.
If you have any .apk file you wish to install, and you have ADB installed on your computer, just enable USB debugging in developer settings, connect USB cable, connect to your phone through ADB (adb -d shell) and type:
Code:
cd /storage/sdcard0 (or sdcard1, or wherever your .apk file is located)
pm install name-of-your-apk.apk
Something which can also be done with a terminal emulator, which I doubt you have since you don't have access to the Play Store.
Unbelievable
i did all those things, lost all the data, everything i did with that phone so far and now i solved it by simply setting time manually and forgetting and reconnecting to my wifi, i want to sincerely thank you all for you help, namely matt4321, for keeping my hopes up, i'll try towelroot again
i mean, would you believe it? something as simple as reconnecting my own wifi

Hello again. You can try to delete your Google account, go to settings on your device, go to Accounts and then Google. Click to delete the account.Reboot your Android and add the account again.Then, in the settings go to Applications Manager and click find "All" applications.Scroll down to Google services, click delete data,and clear cache.

Interesting. Today i rooted my phone again and everything works perfectly fine again..
1.st off thanks for the extremely helpful guides and taking the time to root this device because the copious amount of OE bloatware is horrible.
2.nd I rooted my 510 and now i have no "home" screen. I can view apps and settings and if i recieve a text i can view it by clicking the notification but if i hit home it goes straight to the google search menu?
I tried a factory reset and nothing.
Thanks in advance.

How are you getting the zip over to the phone? Use adb push or an external sd card. You might need to wipe (factory reset) in TWRP before you try and install.

Sounds like a problem with boot. Do a factory reset in TWRP, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57174863&postcount=1 and then afterwards flash that ROM.
Download the zip in this post and adb push that file to your TWRP/BACKUPS/ folder and restore like that. I forgot the other ROM I had you flash required a previous backup to have been made.

There's not really a rom that you can flash without already having a backup. If all else fails you can fastboot oem lock and then run the Sprint 510 RUU from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
