Selling my Galaxy - how to get rid of custom rom?

Hi,
this might be a stupid question but i want to sell my galaxy s and i need to flash a stock rom. Clockwork recovery is installed (and should stay installed) - so how do I "re-stock" my galaxy?
Its a JPY-Version.
Thanks!

download JPY from www.samfirmware.com
boot into download mode
load JPY into ODIN (usually pda)
Hit start.
Do factory reset
JOB DONE !

Thanks. Is there a way without using ODIN? Maybe download an update.zip somewhere and flash it with clockwork?

But why You dont want to use Odin? It's Samsung's softeare so it is safe and when your phone will be bricked by offivial software you still have your guarantee.

Far as I know, no one has every made a update.zip file that contains only stock firmware files. They ones available always contain CF root or some other custom rooting kernel.
Also, why do you wish to keep CWM recovery? It's hardly stock in that case.

[Q] Odin failed - galaxy note

I was trying to install ICS to my galaxy note, it wasn't rooted and I was running GB 2.3.6
Now I can access *Power+home+Volume down*
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You CAN or CANT access download mode ? If you can, simply flash a stock ROM via ODIN.

Yes I can, I tried to downgrade to GB but it failed as well :/

I don't really clearly understood your issue.
But if you want to flash a Stock ICS Rom, start ODIN PC, start your SGNote in download mode (button volume down + home + power), then connect your SGNote to your PC and flash via ODIN PC.
If you don't know exactly how to use ODIN PC, check tutos on the forum.

When you say "it failed" you are going to have to be more specific. Please give us an error message. Did you get a NAND write start and factoryfs.img and it just freeze after that in Odin?

Thanks for trying to help

Reinstall your ADB/USB drivers, make sure you're using USB2.0 port - for me USB3.0 always results in failed flash, ultimately switch USB ports.

The file you download from dr. Ketan is a .rar file, unzip it once and you get a .tar file. Flash that file with Odin in pda section. So don`t unzip the .tar file again.

The problem was the ROM itself
I flashed a new 4.0.3 and it worked perfectly
Thanks a lot.

To start with - you need root to flash this custom ROM, so unrooting your device was a mistake, you have to root it again.
Now, i've never flashed Criskelo's ROM, but from what i've read in the thread, you need to root your device, flash Chainfire's ICS repack via mobile odin, and then flash criskelo rom via CWM. Do not unpack the .zip file, you need to point CWM to that file.

When you boot into recovery, is it CWM recovery?
If you are talking about not seeing the CWM app, don't worry about that.

So you have to flash the CWM.zip file found in drketan's thread in android development.

[Q] Help!!! URGENT!!! Something has gone wrong in flashing process.

Hello,
I am a completely new person to all this flashing. I wanted to put ICS on my galaxy s. It is already on 2.3.3 and I just recently rooted it using superoneclick.
Odin was doing its thing, then it came up with 'FAIL'. Now my screen looks like this (see attachment) and will only let me go into download mode.
What can I do??
All help is greatly appreciated.

Hey
Dont panic..just read my UnBrick Guide (Below)..itll solve ur issue..else you can downgrade to a stock firmware and start all over again..

you also goes into charging? Try to flash a kernel by odin in pda unmarked pit or partition

Hey. That's not such a bad thing. Your phone has no software on it, that's why you can't start or go into recovery. Simply get a ROM that can be flashed via Odin and flash it. That'll solve everything.

U can find roms here:

If you can go to download mode, I think that can fix it.
I couldn't boot once when I accidentally flash GB instead of new JB version. It couldn't boot, and go to recovery. Just downlaod mode. So I flashed JB again, and all was ok. I think it will be ok when you use guide for going back to GB now.

Install CoCore E kernel with Universal kernel flash (downlaod 8.2 version and unzip it, use kernel.bin.md5). You will need some root explorer to work with Universal kernel flasher, use whatever you like - I use ES file explorer.
Link to kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
We install CWM with kernel, can't be separated. For permanent.
P.S. CM10.1, CM10.2, OmniROM - all those you can install without CWM - with stock recovery.

But you cant jump in that rom without installing JB firmware, that I told you. You can flash firmware that is in your region, so I think you can use English. Maybe that T mobile has some of its bloatware, but it can be removed.
