[Q] Restore to stock ROM

Hi, I have a GSM Samsung Galaxy S here that is running CyanogenMod.
The phone is rebooting at random and getting stuck at the skateboarding CyanDroid during boot.
It still runs sometimes and I can flash other roms through clockwork or ROMManager.
How can I restore it to a factory ROM and firmware?
When I try to use *#1234# to find what firmware it has it, it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." does that code only work with stock firmware?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ANKh

I would use Odin to reflash to a standard Samsung ROM and start again. Maybe first make a backup of all your data, because that will be lost (internal).

download the stock firmware from samfirmware.com .. then flash it using odin ..

Go back to stock (can download stock firmware's from sammobile.com) and then flash another rom it could be a problem from the rom itself

Remember to use .PIT file! and check that repartition is ticked.

Shame Heimdell can't also make an image ready for backup later too,
I'd prefer to do that than downloading from some server I've no clue where it's coming from and might do a megaupload at any point

What if I have the I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC.zip containing only the I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar file?
Is there any need to tick the repartition option?
i think this is a PDA file and it would be ill advised to tick the repartition option.
But I just need to confirm before restoring from JB CM10

[Q] Flash from a MDT ROM to a Non MDT rom bootloop

Is there anything i can do? I've tried flashing the stock firmware via odin and it flashes fine, but hangs at the samsung logo, wipe of cache and factory reset dosen't help a bit. Im' able to flash the aopk rom without the bootloop. How is that possible?

When you flash stock, did you choose the pit file and repartition?

Newest AOKP is MTD now, hence the no bootloop. Odin the stock with the repartition and the pit file and youll be good.

its mtd, not mdt
please use the latest version of odin and the correct pit file
you will return to ext in no time

Bootloop after installing stock on top of CM9

Hi all,
I am trying install the stock rom P7310XXKJ4------2011 October----P7310XEUKJ4-----UK/Ireland on my P7310, via odin
It seems to be successful, and then reboots, but then gets stuck in a boot loop. I can access recovery mode and download mode. I have tried this twice, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Go to recovery and do a factory reset. This will delete everything but it should fix your problem.

Also check "F Reset Time" in Odin and repartition using a 512 pit file. This will avoid you some common errors.

Make sure you wipe data/factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery then flash this should work fine for you maybe even clear the cache's after flash too

Hijacking the thread to the same destination. I was throwing in the towel and about to start the exact same thread, but I'm sill stuck. After researching a bit and trying a couple of things, I seem to be making things worse, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and ask for help while I still can use Odin.
I had also tried to install stock over CM9 and ended up in a bootloop with the blue CM9 guy showing. If fact, I couldn't even shut the tab off, it would power on and re-bootloop. I could get into recovery or Odin mode. I did a factory reset, didn't help. Installing from recovery wouldn't work, as I didn't have anything left on it to install. I researched and the thread with the stock firmware says "Extract tar file from the ROM(remember to extract it till .tar or tar.md5, dont go deep).". When I use 7zip to extract the zip file, I don't have a .tar file, what am I doing wrong? If I take the unzipped file and compress them to a tar file, the installation fails. After reading this thread, I installed the GT89pitfile.pit from the toolbox, and now I'm stuck in Odin; if I try to go to recovery, the icon just flashes and won't go anywhere.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I gave you a link in this post to a thread which contains all ODIN images. Select one image depending on your model (7300 is the 3G model whereas 7310 is the Wi-Fi only model) and then extract the .zip contents and there is your image. The PIT file, as I suggested in my guide, is to be used in conjunction with a .tar ODIN firmware image to Repartition the device in case something goes terribly awry and still, that's no guarantee it will be the ultimate solution. Redownload your desired image.
EDIT: Once you successfully flash through ODIN, in order to go back to stock you HAVE TO do a factory reset in the Stock Recovery menu. Note that you will lose everything including the SDcard contents.

My point is, when I extract the .zip file, there is no .tar file to flash.

My question is, have you downloaded the zip file from the link I gave you, and even redownloaded to make sure it wasn't a corrupted download?

[REQ-DEV HELP] Experienced user and flasher stuck on DOK2 mounting partitions problem

Hello XDA members and devs. I have stumbled upon an issue that seems to be close to un-fixable. I have the SM-N910T obviously. I am on DOK2, every rom Touch Wiz and Cyanogenmod flashed correctly a couple of months ago. Now the only things I can flash are DOK2 stock firmware via ODIN, and then I can successfully flash TWRP 2.8.7.0, the only ROM I can flash is Maximum Overdrive 4.0.1 +(all upper updates.) I got a hold of Max OD dev and he said it's because of the 3 mount lines he added to the top of his updater-script. So I added those lines to updater-scripts of other roms and none worked. Some other roms have many other mount points and important lines of code in the updater-script that should not be removed or edited. I want to go back to Cyanogenmod, and others either 12.1 nightlies, or the new CM Remix 13.0 which worked before all the others stopped working at the same time.
Yes I also tried this.

After you flash D0K2 firmware - Use the stock Recovery and Factory Reset - That will get you out of the bootloop - Just remember that your internal storage will be wiped!
I also get the same issue after attempting to downgrade which always fails. Used to be able to downgrade and upgrade firmware's as well, now I cant. I got the dev of Max OD rom to pull a DOK2 pit file even flashing that does not fix my issue. I also posted on Reddit, so I will copy and paste this post.
Reddit Post.
I have a T-Mobile Note 4 was working fine for a long time flashed many ROM's multiple times over and over again never had a problem until I flashed DOK2 I assume. With ODIN. I did flash to stock from COD6 to DOK2 can't seem to downgrade back to COD6 with ODIN get error cant downgrade note 4 SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused2 > Binary 1 [1] eMMC write fail : ABOOT , that appears on Download mode. Then every time I install TWRP I try to install a ROM from OTG usb or ext sd and nothing flashes, rom files work used them before. I can only seem to install DOK2 and can't downgrade or flash other roms. I need help so I can flash other roms. Yes I tried flash stock DOK2 and boot stock recovery then clearing cache and factory reset, to downgrade to COD6 still failing and can't install other roms. every time i try to flash version lower then DOK2 using odin get this error ; SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused2 > Binary 1 [1] eMMC write fail : ABOOT
At one point I installed CWM trlltexx or something like that through TWRP, and did format and all of that. But after that went back to stock flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 because couldn't flash roms with CWM because the roms thought I was on trltexx. Formatted all partitions with CWM. Anyways tried to get back to Cyanogenmod and or Tekxodus and other roms all fail. Minus Maximum Overdrives 4.0.1.
The first 3 lines that Overdrive mentioned that must make my roms flash able are.
HTML:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
Anyways please contact me on Google+ Hangouts or respond here if you know how to fix my issue also have Skype but PM me for that info. Add Bacon Seeds first and last name to Google + Hangouts that G+ Hangouts email is [email protected] . I am experienced in compiling roms extracting, de compiling as well. Life on my Note 4 without some Cyanogenmod had been technologically heartbreaking. I like flashing multiple roms and swapping back and forth. Now I cant even test others stuck on Max OD which is a good and awesome rom but sometimes get tired of Touch Wiz.

I would install the ROM you can, then dirty flash an aosp ROM, then try to flash the ROM you want.

Use Kies to recover your phone. It should be able to fit any issues with partitions etc.

Odd how using the PIT file does not fix this issue. It's literally setting up your phone's partition table all over again and it isn't working. Also, on DOK2's bootloader, it is impossible to rollback bootloader. I tried going from DOK2 -> ANIH (Kitkat original) and it didn't work. You can still run older ROMs, just not the older bootloader. That's why you're getting the 'Binary 2 > Fused 1' message.

By the way, you should be using ODIN3.10.7. It is the latest version. Load up the full stock DOK2 firmware (I suggest downloading using SamFirm -- make sure to check Binary Nature for a full firmware), follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
They used a PIT and Stock to fully wipe, with the exception in this case being that this is 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4

do you have a working DOK2 stock firmware running on your phone. Once you upgrade to DOK2 you can only flash ROMs based on 5.1.1 or ROMs that include a kernel. If you want to flash a ROM based on 5.0.1 you will need to flash either the Emotion Kernel or the Beast mode kernel as well before you reboot the device.
If you have Stock TW firmware running and you have TWRP installed your phone should be fixed. As long as you use compatible ROMs with it.

Looks like you corrupted your partitions. You might need to flash the pit file to fix it. I think there is a thread related to that somewhere.

Request thread closed, resolved!
Steps taken not in any order.
Find a legit us TRLTE pit file. Message me for the TRLTE pit file or I'll make a separate thread for it.
Flash DOK2 stock firmware + proper pit file and have re-partition checked, along with flash BL and EFS clear.
Format ext SD card.
Downloaded the roms onto the formatted SD card.
Flash the latest TWRP recovery
Wipe all not including system x3 times.
Go to Wipe and then Format, check system format system type Yes
Go to install select your ROM.
Then select your GApps and custom kernel whatever else you want.
You might have to do the stock flashing and wiping and formatting several times before this works along with the re-partitioning.
Note a legit TRLTETMO pit file can be found : http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29568
The legit pit file name for TRLTETMO should be labeled: TRLTE_USA_TMO.pit

Congrats!

Hey bacon. I'm glad you figured it out. But in was wondering if you think me doing the pit file would work for my situation. Currently my phone is on a loop every time I flash dok2. And twrp will not flash any huge files. I can get kernels too flash but not roms. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I can't even get the firmware too boot up. Thanks in advance

Have you flashed the full ODIN package? Try erasing NAND and Re-Partition (with .pit in ODIN package)
I will usually just go about it that way when I go to stock to start off fresh.

It shouldn't be bootlooping, in fact it has to reboot into recovery right after ODIN flashes the stock package, it needs to erase + verify / flash CSC contents. It should pretty much boot up into stock. If you really want to flash TWRP (to flash a custom ROM), flash it. Right after you flash it, make sure you take the battery out and you reboot into recovery manually. Stock system prevents recovery from being overwritten.

Sorry I'm fairly new to this. So it did boot into custom recovery. I just want the phone back to stock without TWRP or any bells or whistles.
Its on the stock recovery interface. Should I wipe data/factory reset? Or reboot system now?

Once it's done with verification of CSC, just reboot system. It should take a few minutes to set itself up, then will throw you into the setup wizard. Once you're there you're good to go.
