so now that I flashed to another firmware, if I wanted to go back, is there a way to put the stock firmware as the UPDATE.ZIP file so I can go into recovery mode to use that file to "reset" the phone? or do I have to always flash the firmware?
After JH3 was installed, I went into Recovery mode and clicked on 'reset' and got an error that it cannot find update.zip

Look in the Development section for the Stock Odin3 1 click program..It is the only way to get it back to completely stock..
When the OTA Update is released how would it be applied once firmware is flashed?

It will boot into download fine the problem I have is it won't boot into recovery is there any way I can wipe it or does it look like I am in need of a cable?
Then reflash back to stock using Odin

clockwork recovery, i take it I messed up here so
No, meant what rom were you on before your flash? Stock?
oh sorry got the phone of a friend looked like a custom samsung rom, build version was easyprojectv2 if that rings any bells?
Looks like the problem was caused by trying to flash a odexed rom over a deodexed rom, or not having the correct bootloaders for the new rom. Normally before a flash I would return to stock (firmware from sammobiles.com) first via ODIN, do all the wipes, flash a kernel so you have a nice clean install to 'abuse'. Then I would add any custom rom from there be it by ODIN or by cwm.
Grab yourself a usb lead, nice clean flash and start again.
Ok so I've 3 file here:
APBOOT_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CODE_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
KERNEL_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100803.pit (not sure if i need this as was in the root of the odin folder not the firmware?)
Where do the other 3 file go PDA PHONE CSC???
I am also stuck on the same front, i donwloaded rom from samfirmware but it only had PDA part and nothing else, please suggest which official rom should i download??

I would go this way mate, first grab JVT from sammobiles.com ( register first)
Flash that using ODIN
Comes with 3 files, CSC, PHONE and PDA
PDA file goes to PDA in ODIN
PHONE goes into MODEM in ODIN
CSC goes in CSC in ODIN.
Also select PIT file, should be 512 on the PIT section on ODIN, hit start and it will flash then reboot.
Then open ODIN again, connect phone and flash your KERNEL to the PDA section of ODIN.
Then grab this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117579
and flash using cwm.
Your then on JW1 all rooted and ready to play.
put the "APBOOT_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar" file into the PDA and flashed it. Everything seems to be working fine might stick with the stock for a while never really needed to be rooted.
ok i just popped the SIM and have no network access when i tap on Mobile Networks in the setting it tells me to insert a SIM????
the firmware i had was wrong didnt have a modem. Downloaded a jvt as buttwad said flashed an now everything working perfect now. cheers mate!
I am just about to throw my phone at the wall.
So I was on stock 2.3.3 and decided I wanted to update to ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
I didn't have clockwork mod and wasn't rooted so I eventually got this working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Then I tried to install the ICS rom but it wouldn't work. I then tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657 which for some reason didnt have any cell phone coverage.
I tried going back to the just rooted version of 2.3.3 but haven't been able to get the phone to go past the samsung logo / Clockwork Recovery.
Edit: Whenever I try flash the 2.3.3 rooted rom it updates me to Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.5 with HEAPS of errors.
Any ideas?
You should go back to a stock rom via Odin...you will need a rom that has 3 files (csc , modem, phone) and the Odin 512 .pit file and check the repartition box.

I flashed the cf root the same as the software my phone had under settings. I flashed it using odin.
There was an error message, I can't recall it exactly, it couldn't execute or something. Yup I wiped data.
Flash back to stock using odin
Thanks for the help guys
Did you solve it?

i was on the Liquidsmooth rom, i wanted to go to FireKat.
i tried to go back to stock using Odin, using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/guide-odin-to-stock-unrooted-firmware-t2957156 and in the middle of Odin doing its thing it failed.
now im stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
so i downloaded Kies, and my phone isnt recognized.
what can i do so that i can at least get the phone working again?
Several options - first why did you not flash over recovery?
Second boot into recovery and reset.
Third if you can't get into recovery flash a custom recovery such as twrp and flash a new rom.
Hope this helps

the instructions on the first page of the FireKat rom say to "1. Odin Flash Stock ANK4" so flashing via recovery is not a option.
i no longer have a recovery, during the Odin flash back to stock it failed and deleted my recovery. only thing i could boot into is DL mode.
i ended up having the wrong verison of Kies, had to use a older version. the phone was recognized and i "unbricked" the phone.
Meaning install a custom recovery and a different rom and you should be fine

The first step is just to make sure u r on the most current bootloader.
Can you boot the phone into download mode? If so you can flash recovery and a new ROM.

You should be using keis 3 anything else will fail. If you have download mode Odin back to stock with factory firmware. Tekhd has a step by step on how to root. Download firmware from sammobile and ur back to business. Pick your ROM careful.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
Happened to me once, seems dumb enough, but change USB cable when flashing stock with odin. If you have access to download mode, you have not perma-bricked your device. Might help. Might not
So i went to flash [ROM] Looper_XB but i made a mistake and flashed 5.0.2 when i needed to flash 5.1.1..Now i have made mistakes in past and would usually flash stock firmware in odin to my phone but this time it is not working. i downloaded stock firmware from here > LINKTOSTOCK. I get a error in Odin. i can go into download mode and into TWRP. I dont know what my next step is.. yes i know how to use a search bar.....i thought maybe i could flash the correct 5.1.1 Looper rom onto my phone through TWRP but i cant get my phone mounted to laptop to where it will let me transfer any files that way.. i can view all files but once i go to transfer the file over the phone will basically disconnect...In need of some help here guys.
Also was searching around and saw something about using kies , which i downloaded and installed but my phone wont connect. I only get the samsung galaxy screen and TWRP and Download mode like i mentioned

As a last resort you can always download either Samsung Kies or Samsung Smart Switch software and restore your device with the original firmware. You will need your model and serial number. You can get your s/n by booting into download mode and then pressing the home button.
Sometimes Kies will not work on the first couple of tries but it eventually should. If it still doesn't then try Smart Switch.
Once you have restored your device you can start from scratch.
I rooted my Exynos S10 and I now need to flash it back to stock. What do I need to do in order to get there? It's been awhile.

Install Stock ROM with Odin. Download last version with Frija. Or try open Recovery Mode and in Recovery Mode make factory/reset, restart phone. After this you will lost all what you installed.

OK I DL'd the stock ROM, it's in that weird enc4. Do I just unzip that and install it with ODIN?

Yes, unzip and install with ODIN. AP, BL, CP and CSC.
Ok well new problem. I can't seem to get it to recognize the phone on my computer when I plug in the USB cable. It charges though. WTF?
Did you install the latest driver? Try change USB socket. Open ODIN as Administrator.
