Ok when the original official Froyo started rolling out in Scandinavia I upgraded using the reg-hack (UK Vodafone). It got rid of the Vodafone branding (for example no Vodafone boot animation) I kind of screwed something up with that Rom so flashed back to a JM1 eclaire Rom which still is unbranded.
My question is: Is there anyway to get my phone back to it's original status including branding for if I need to take it back under warranty? I know I should have done a back-up but I didn't realise that the reg-hack would remove the branding (stupid I know).
As far as I know
This cannot be done until Vodafone release 2.2 I am in the same position with T Mobile UK, wiped the phone it changed my product code etc I have managed to get the product code back to TMU but the ROM im afraid cannot be bought back to Stock until they release the new ROM....the 2.1 ROM was never released it was pre isntalled. Only Orange as far a I know can be bought back cuase the released an update since the pre isntalled ROM.
Hi i am on costume rom right now but i wont to go back to stock but i dont know wich firmware should flash if i am on UK Vodafone
if you have the international unlocked N7000 then by all means pick any ROM and flash it
I have a middle eastern Note that shipped with JP1 ,but I'm now running on europe XXLA6 without issues.
No its not unlocked it on vodafone
Hi...just wondering if any of the other Aussie Telstra users have an .FTF of the now rolling out .253 Telstra branded firmware?
Been reported on Whirlpool that its now rolling out via PCC....unfortunately I have already updated to .253 via other methods here...but really want to check out the Telstra version....I can always go back to the original firmware and update and get the blobs myself but if anyone is already ahead of me that would save me from doing the same thing twice :silly:
Thanks in advance
Hey, I tried to root my phone but it failed. It still works, but, I cannot get carrier updates now. I was wondering how would I go about getting a Fido stock firmware for my phone.
Or stock ROM I believe. I am hoping I will not need to pay money for a new phone to get things back to normal.
Hey guys,
Looking for a bit of help with unrooting my S4 Active and pretty much reverting it back to out of the box if it is possible.
I got my Active rooted about a year ago. I did it without much knowledge on how rooting and install custom firmware works, but amazingly I somehow got it done. But now I've have got to the point where I no longer need it rooted or running custom firmware and would like to return it to an out of the box state like when I first bought it.
Here is a bit of information about my device:
Model: GT-I9295
Version: 4.2.2
BB: XXAMF7
I'm not really sure on how I rooted it in the first place as it has been a while, but I do remember using ODIN and possible CWM, if that makes any difference. I'm looking to revert it back to 4.2.2 official so I can use the OTA update feature to keep my phone up to date and so on.
If anyone is able to help me, or point me in the direction of a good tutorial on unrooting and installing official firmware that would be great.
Thanks

Hi
One of the safiest way to unroot you device is to back up your phone then flash a stock firmware 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 available on sammobile.com and flash it with odin. You will automatically go back to stock firmware and it will be same as it was out of the box.

Thank you for the help.
I managed to find a stock 4.2.2 firmware on sammobile.com for my phone and country, but it seems like samsung haven't pushed out a 4.4.2 version for Australia yet.
There is a 4.4.2 version for New Zealand though, which is basically just next door to Australia. So I found that quite odd.
Do you know if there is anyway to flash an official 4.4.2 firmware to an Australian device?
Thanks again.

The country on the firmware doesn't mind because even you choose let say netherland versions it will work find as example for me I flashed singapire version on my s4 active while I'm in Mauritius and it work fine... you may choose any of it to install
Sent from my SM-T210 using xda premium
It doesn't matter which country firmware do you get. The country is there only for OTA updates. So if you flash a Netherlands stock ROM then you will get the next OTA update when Netherlands gets it. Otherwise other country.
Just flash the stock ROM with odin on your phone and it will be unrooted, removed the custom recovery and all back to stock.
Good day to you.
