If u wabt your stock Rom back ... Better Thing to do is! Flash Firmware With Odin!

i know but i want to make sure its exact same as the one i had. the other ace i have is the exact same model, same provider, same firmware. i want to know if i can restore from that phones backup onto mine.
also is there anything i have to do before going from cyanogen to stock?

U Will get most probably md5 mismatch ... if not md5 mistach ... for sure bootloop ... theres way but it a looooot harder than simply flash from odin!
I can make u a step by step ... but first i need to know your country and your provider in case u have one

i live in canada and my provider is koodo

This is getting worse by the minute ... i'll see what i can do for u!

1st of all ... You have to bring back your phone to rfs system file ... ! Use ext4 manager!
2nd Veryyyy Important! You have to use exactly the same recovery to backup and restore ... Ex. Backup With CWM 5.0.2.6 - Restore With CWM 5.0.2.6
3rd Lets Start Open Ext4 manager . You'll get an error concerning the kernel! Ignore it! Continue Choose Convert to rfs' Now Wait until its finished!
4rth - Reboot into CWM and do a restore ... Wait Until its finished, Reboot, Done!
If every thing went fine you'll be ok! if not get back here pm me
take care

thanks, im gonna try this in couple of minutes
sorry one more question, is ext4 manager an app, i cant find it.
nvm, i found it

i am flashing mine back by odin how long does this normally take mine has been on set up connection for 20 plus mins does it really take this long or am i missing something i am supposed to setup lol

Help rooting GB without the use of PC

My Note wont get recongize through USB.
I was on MIUI and managed to install stock Hong Kong GB using mobile Odin as one of the members suggested.
But i didnt realised that Hong Kong Notes are linked with thier network providers. If not registered on the Hong Kong network I wont be able to update.
So I now have downloaded the latest ICS Hong Kong rom but to use mobile Odin again I would need to Root my note.
I tried CWM.zip method but it wont work....
Any other way around?
Or Im just stuck with this old old GB....
Thanks

First: do not use cwm.zip. With it there is a good chance that you brick your device.
Second: root your ICS with one of PhilZ kernel. You have to search for the exact version for your ICS Rom. Copy it to your external sd-card - or download it directly on to your device. Use the Zip-File, reboot into the stock recovery and install the zip from the external sd card. After rebooting you are rooted and safe.

[Q] for 4.1.2 root, what is the difference between build no.?

Hi,
I want to root my device, which i have upgraded recently to 4.1.2
the thing is, I found some information in root threads regarding build no. like XXAMA1, XXAMA2, XXAMA4 ...etc
what are the differences between them? if all of them are 4.1.2 JB?! will anyone work?
to make it easier, which thread can work to root my SG3mini device:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: I8190XXAMA3
Kernel version: 3.0.31-860525
Build number: JZ054K.I8190XXAMA3
You can just root the one you got. No need to re-flash the whole rom.

Yes you can, but only if you make a factory reset first. Otherwise you'll have bootloops or force closed apps.

No it shouldn't be any problem. Factory reset makes sure there is no leftovers from previous install. Clears cache, settings, user data.

Just flash a wipe.tar and then your firmware.
I never had to flash param.lfs to get it boot.
Once I had to pull the battery and power on again when it got stuck on boot after flash.

Yes flash as pda. It's basicly the same as a factory reset.
If your phone reboots after, just put it in download again and flash firmware.

at first sight everything works fine.
WIPE doesnt work,and factory reset doesnt work either.is there a option to do this manually.i have clear master,is that the same?

thank you tys0n for your replies! i kept my CSC, didn't change it.. since i'm already having 4.1.2 (last firmware for s3 mini till now)
and followed this way to root my device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150979
and it worked
the only thing is, this way increased the flash counter! i dont know how is this bad, but i guess just if i want to give it to someone to check it, they will know, right?!
BUT I found other rooted ROM that they will reset binary count after flash to "none"! and will show firmware as "official" instead of "custom"..
anyway, good to learn and i'm saying all that just in case any noob like me saw this thread in the future maybe they can find one useful info or two
sorry TerenceTP7 that i can't help you.. still new to those things..
and thank you again tys0n

PLEASE HELP ATT note 3 e:unable to mount system

Hi
I have ATT galaxy note 3 first time I installed a rom I did it over the stock rom slot, no biggie, to make a long story short last rom I had was alliance last version, didn’t work for me, so I decided to install (FireNoteDeodexV20XGrandFinale)
So I booted into Safestrap 3.75(TWRP v2.7.1.0) by simply restarting my device and got that recovery or continue buttons.
So I did a factory wipe but I also did an advance wipe and checked (system).
After that I went to install and selected the above ROM zip and installed it and after I hit continue at the safestrap screen where it also says disabled it always has. It stays blank.
So I booted up to SS again and now whenever I select factory wipe or system wipe or try to mount I get the same message E:Unable to mount ‘/system’ and E:Unable to mount ‘/systemorig’
And now im stuck with no phone and cant install any ROM
Theres a lot of threads about this but please oh please masters bare with me I just need step by step, what should I do and what files do I need to download.
Your help is highly appreciated.

If you have a computer. And a sdcard slot on it download and install a kitkat rom of your choice from the att note 3 rom section. Because you most likely are on the newest bootloader you can't flash jb roms. You have to stick to kitkat roms.

You should look in the general section for att note 3 and find the Odin files for kitkat and Odin restore your phone. Then start over rooting and installing a custom rom. Probably your best bet.

You'll have to root again indeed, but remember what i said in the start, you're likely to regret it if you manage to do the update, it's a very bugged one.

a factory reset doesn't give you the original rom, the update will still be there, the downgrade is a very tricky process, and i answered you only because you asked, but i repeat myself, you should really keep your tab the way it is now, i regretted having done the update for months until someone finally found a way to roll-back to kitkat.
With lollipop you'll have:
-memory leak (can be fixed anyway).
-overheating.
-crashes.
-apps closing themselves or refusing to launch.
-random reboots of the tab itself.
-some users even had clock issues on the tab (too slow).
-others had battery life issue (tablet discharging too fast).

1924-7 Metro E5 Plus lost imei and baseband

Ive been pulling my hair out trying to restore my IMEI for the past 2 days. I have the stock 8.0 firmware downloaded and can flash the phone back to stock no problem but no matter what I install, stock or custom rom, my imei is gone.
I believe the problem started when I was rooting the phone and followed a guide saying to use the e5 james twrp to boot to twrp and make a backup, which I have in my google drive. I got magisk installed etc and ended up wiping the phone, not realizing the encryption wouldn't allow me to get my files back. If I do anything other than a clean install it fails to decrypt and I have to restart into TWRP.
I don't have the original box and can't find the guys info that sold me the phone so I don't have the original imei handy.
Anyone have any thoughts or success getting their imei repaired?

I thought I was getting the hang of rooting
and mods etc but I realize Odin was doing all of it and I know nothing.
Well I guess I'm going to try to rebuild the folder. Good news is I can see my IMEI from the boot barcode now and couldn't before so there's that.

Well I'm not sure how to proceed from there. If you do have a backup try to see about extracting it and seeing if it includes the persist folder. If not you may have to look around on what to do next.
The Moto G5s Plus I had the issue on shipped with Nougat and I flashed pixel experience rom and havoc OS for a while before flashing stock to sell it. When I did that I had lost my imei and had to hunt around until I found that thread I linked and followed it to fix the issue. Your issue may or may not be fixable the same way.
I have a twrp backup I believe is it but when restored it boot loops or says decrypt unsuccessful
i found the baseband bin file for tmobile,sprint,metropcs,boost for moto e5 plus

If I do anything other than a clean install it fails to decrypt and I have to restart into TWRP.
I don't have the original box and can't find the guys info that sold me the phone so I don't have the original imei handy.
Anyone have any thoughts or success getting their imei repaired?

Sorry for the misunderstanding on left when you see mirrors.lolinet.com click on that folder then you will see firmware from there you will see Moto then u know the rest but go by http://mirrors.lolinet.com the links are broken ..
I'm going to download it and try it now. I think I used one with a different baseband and radio version that caused my issue in the first place. Been a while since ive rooted. But thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.

I understand I got sound after I flashed it twice. The only problem I got is caller can't hear me everything works except the caller can't hear me I have been working on that but it's becoming to a point of getting a replacement but not quitting just yet. If I find something will post it ..
If I figure anything out ill be sure to keep you posted. If you could do the same, Id appreciate it greatly.

So I figured something out the firmware we used is Russian modems we need En.English firmware and that is "IDK" where but I'm looking on finding it for my phone to work meaning for calling cause just like I said everything works except the caller can't hear me so I'm gonna try to search for the US version of it in EN.English binfile . I'll be back with an update .. ... UPDATE have you done this one yet 27.11.49.hannah_a.a.en.US this is from Hannah but the AT&T version gonna try it then get back to you .. update again I can not find it and tired the AT&T link and it's broken idk for right now but I'll keep looking
I used the cricket variant of the file last night and It loaded and flashed but no service and still no sound on the device at all. Almost out of ideas.
