[Q] Revert to Stock

I have flash a couple of ROMs beginning with the original Chinese leak and currently on Imilka CM9 port. I'd like to revert to stock.
Can I just download and flash the stock ROM from the forums using Odin?
I dont want to brick the thing by flashing something incompatible.
Thank you.

If you want to go stock just choose the rom that you want to go back to and flash through odin......period...and you are good

I don't think that necessarily does the whole job. I tried to go back to stock via ODIN - first my keyboard kept saying 'null' when I tried to input letters - which I fixed by flashing the multi CSC for Europe - now I have a working stock ROM but I can't get the OTA update to work. It downloads then fails when the phone boots into the recovery partition. I suspect there is a rooted kernel still lingering in there. I imagine if you download stock firmware with phone, pda, CSC, and pit files included that you wouldn't have the same problems as me, but my UK CPW firmware only comes with the PDA tar

Error while flashing Rom with CWM

hi.
i have an Australian N7000B Note, and it is currently rooted on the latest available android in the country for the phone (2.3.6)
i have superuser and CWM installed.
i can boot into CWM and navigate with no worries, but whenever i try to install any custom rom, regardless what rom it is, i get the same error.
i really want to get off this crappy rom that Telstra provides with the phone, so any help is greatly appreciated.
many thanks
pic attatched of error.

Use ODIN to flash a stock ICS or GB ROM and then re-root and add cwm and try again
the issue you face is because your version is the GT-N7000B and the build.prop is for the GT-N7000 so its failing because it believes the ROM is for a different device.
if the product codes do not match up in the build.prop it will fail - this applies to all devices and all ROMs.
you could also open the .zip and find the build.prop and change all of them, But its a pain in the ass !

Because these are for the N7000 if i flash a stock ICS rom on my N7000B what will happen?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8
Put your details in there and it will find you a stock ROM. Ive seen threads where N7000B users have flashed N7000 ROMs without any issues.
EDIT: You CAN use any GT-N7000 firmware !

Awesome! I am downloading the Gingerbread Australian Rom as we speak for the N7000. if i flash it with odin, root it, and then install CWM would it work with installing custom roms such as paranoid android etc?

Yes because the Stock firmware will remove the 'B' and you will have no more install errors
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter !! and make a nandroid before commencing.

Well, i have a nandroid backup of the current firmware, i made it just after i rooted it.
so, i will flash it with Odin on PC correct? does it require i wipe everything off the phone?
sorry for the questions i am a noob lol

you can wipe before or after it makes no difference so long as your on GB.
Dont ever wipe on ICS unless your on a safe kernel.
But do do a wipe as it will start you off on a fresh clean install

I'm successfully on a N7000 Rom, it unrooted my phone is there a way to root it again?

flash the CWM.zip in recovery and then the SU package
or flash a rooted kernel such as speedmod

Hi, Can u please help me. I'm having the same problem as u. Got the getprop error when flashing any rom through
How were u able to flash roms through cwm & what file did u use to turn your 7000B into a 7000?

Basebands

I know out there is a bunch of baseband to flash through Odin. What about make them flashable?. What for?, for example I flashed Enox and Benz roms that are not for my specific model (L) and my phone boot without a problem, but just get not network signal. So I was guessing that will work If I flash my baseband (lubama1) over the one that came with the rom. Will the rom work without a problem I think, cuz that is what I did in my Atrix 4g times.
Why flashable, just to do it on the way. If someone can help me making my stock baseband flashable I will appreciate it.
Thnx

I'm pretty sure those roms doesn't change your modem, but only system files.
Why it doesn't work is probably because the config is for i8190 and not i8190L modem.
Open the rom.zip and see if you find a modem.bin in there.. I think not.

even if you flash your baseband i think it will not work. wrong rom to your variant
any way, if you want, attach your baseband to make it flashable via odin.

[Q] Need help! No sound in-call!?

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active.
When I make a call i get no sound, microphone and earpiece are tested and working properly(I CAN'T HEAR THE PERSON, THE PERSON CAN'T HEAR ME).
Also, no sound when I put it on speaker.
I tried installing another stock rom but the problem persists..
First time it happened I removed battery and that solved the problem, now even removing the battery won't make it work.
Please help...

Nobody??

i537 or i9295?
Version of stock ROM?
Method of flash?
Tried factory reset?

I9295, 4.4.2 Kitkat, tried to flash through Odin.. tried factory reset and no result.
Also, I've wiped everything (data,system,boot,etc..) before flashing with Odin, using a custom recovery.

As you said you have checked the speaker phone and mic and confirm that it works so this eliminates any hardware issues.
Did you do the factory reset from within the phone in settings or through custom recovery. Suggest that you do the factory reset from within the phone in settings (prior backup of your internal sdcard data is required as this will get wiped out) as this solves most software / firmware issues. If still problem persists flash the entire firmware through odin (download from sammobile).

I have the same problem in the service menü i have no issue but when i make a call it doesnt work (sorry for my english)
Is it possible to make a logcat too see whats the Problem ?!

Not sure if logcat will show the issue, but yes we can check it out.
Normally these issues arise due to either mismatch in firmware (flashing different modem) or issues in the ROM itself. You can check by flashing entire firmware and if issue still persists then do a factory reset from settings (not cwm) and reflashing the firmware.
Did you flash any firmware files / modem and are you on stock touchwiz or custom ROM

Mic in speaker is a known issue in cm11. This has been fixed in 17.10 version. You can flash the 17.10 version and check
Factory reset from stock recovery only wipes the system and data while factory reset from within phone in settings resets much more than that.
Reflashing only stock ROM will not help... You need to flash the entire firmware through odin .

Ok which firmware (stock ROM) did you flash and can you send me a screenshot of your about from stock Rom

How can I know what modem suits my phone? I've flashed another stock rom from another region(earpiece and mic didn't work before) and the issue is still present.

It is always recommended to flash the modem for your region. ROM's generally are independent of region unless you have flashed the entire firmware. UCNE5 firmware so far seems to be safe and is known to work for most regions.
Which country are you from and which ROM did you flash.

I'm having the same problem, using CM11 or Stock.
Phone worked grate till 2 month ago (bougth on february). Tested different modems, different SIMS.
¿Maybe a hardware problem? ¿Maybe is bootloader/KNOX related? I think this as was using last TW from UK (I9295XXUCNH2), I'm from Argentina.

Flashing modem from a different region/carrier is sometimes known to cause this issue with certain carriers. Recommend that you flash only the modem for your region and carrier (not the entire firmware) and check it out else try flashing the entire firmware.
If mic and speaker is working fine in other apps then it will not be a hardware issue.

hmm..this is a tricky one.. You could try the NE5 modem from my drive to start with and see if it works, though I would recommend that you flash the one that you were on before while it was working properly.

Tested NE5 before posting, same results. Using official 20141018.
Original modem was 4.2.2, is there a modem repository?

Just one more question? are you using GSM or LTE, you could start by trying GSM mode only. Also just remembered this thread I stumbled upon yesterday which may be useful in unlocking the band used in your country/carrier.

Edit: another one which I searched and found today
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269
Did a little search and you may refer to the below links for the bands for Argentina as well as those on I9295 which could be helpful

Hi,
About IMEI null/null with 4.4.4 firmware, you should search in this Q/A forum, there a lot of threads asking for this issue. Maybe you should get an answer yourself
However, you should try again to do a clean flash of latest official 4.4.4 firmware with ODIN v3.09 by following this GUIDE HERE from @MaHo_66.
AFAIK, it's impossible to downgrade from 4.4.4 because of KNOX bootloader. It has been said many times in this Q/A forum. Maybe it exists somewhere a tricky trick to do it but I'm not aware of this.

In Addition to @FLooDW 's answer:
Try to use Philz 6.48.4 or 6.59.0 as your recovery rather then TWRP or the old CWM (6.0.4.7), especially DON'T use the latest TWRP from their official website, its a broken build and its known to mess up the partitions! That could be your problem if you have done that before...
Any recovery you want to use, download from my RECOVERY/GUIDE thread that FLooDW linked to you, use those they work fine.
PS. before flashing official firmware with ODIN, make sure you have a custom recovery installed, then boot into recovery, wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache/internalSD/boot/modem etc. this is to ensure when you have flashed the firmware, there is nothing left from the previous firmware that was installed.
Note: when explaining your issue, try to do that by providing as much as possible info about your actions before and after the problem occured, that way anyone who wants to help can help you the best way possible.

Really helpful addition !

Trying what you guys have mentioned just now, let you know as soon as :good:
What 4.4.4. om do you suggest?
Also the efs I backed up (not sure if its working or not as it was with Rom Manager)
How do I restore, can it be done with root explorer?
Tried the [ROM][i9305][18.10.15]>>>4.4.4<<<[KK][STOCK][TW][STABLE][+AROMA] S5 Elite Lite v4.0
which I posted a few days ago, left a post with no reply and thats when I started getting the null/null

PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v5.9.5-4.4.x_I9305_AROMA

AGNi is not a ROM, this is a kernel. Did you flash AGNi kernel over official Samsung firmware ?
As MaHo_66 said, you have to explain more what you have done and what you need if you want us to help you.

Steps :
reflashed a Stock Rom then Rooted it then added Philz Recovery
Then Tried this rom : I9305XXUFNL1_O2UFOB1_4.4.4_KK.zip
Currently trying various modems to see what this gives me
Failing this will need to try QPTS or EFS Professional again.
* I know how to flash and root roms if you look at my signature along with kernels I am basically telling you what I have tried to get
this null/null away as I think its a baseband/modem issue somewhere as I have read various posts and some people agree.
Cant even do the *#197328640# or *#*#197328640#*#* to get into certain modes
Thinking it maybe the sim card slot now .......... I am losing my mind now!

There are few other possible solutions you could try:
- try this, it shows you how to get in service mode and the restoring of the golden efs backup, that should be present if its good.
If above doesnt work, then try the one below.
- have you tried to flash the param_bin file? if not try that with ODIN, it might work.. file attached.
Let us know how it goes.

H yes tied that file and didnt work
will the imei work from another phone or efs?
isnt that link just gps?
