I have unlocked bootloader and S-OFF and everything stock after running RUU. Then, i have flashed CWM Touch, rooted and did a nandroid backup. But now i can't get OTA, so which file do i flash to get OTA? Do i just need to flash stock recovery?
I got the files from the decrypted RUU rom.zip and here is a screenshot. Can someone please tell me which of these files do i need to flash to return to 100% stock? Also, will i lose root after flashing these?

I'm thinking i need to flash recovery_signed.img from its filename but do i need to flash any others? Basically, i just wanted to undo all the changes made by installing the custom recovery.
AFAIK, you need stock recovery and any changes made to the /system/ folder have to be undone. Rooting installs a superuser apk to your /system/apps/ as well as su to system/bin/. Also, if you installed busybox, you have a whole mess of other binaries installed. Basically, you need to undo any changes that you made anywhere in the /system/ folder.
One more thing...if you de-bloated, you have to re-bloat because almost all of that bloat lived in /system/app/.

I'm on Android 4.2.2 and would like to upgrade to Android 4.3 OTA. However, I rooted my phone previously and change the recovery to CWM.
Due to camera error and release of 4.3 OTA in my country, I got a stock recovery from one of the thread in XDA here and flash it using Flashify. However, I got errors while upgrading using OTA. After the recovery tries to flash the OTA, halfway it turns the icon red. I'm not sure what's happening as I'm new here.
Please advice.

Are you still on your stock Rom? Did you remove something?
Are you rooted?
You bootloader is locked-relocked?

Yes, I'm on stock Rom but removed some stock apps. Is this causing the problem?

Yes I'm rooted. Bootloader in unlocked too.
Yes the Rom has to be completely stock.
About the Bootloader: I'm not sure if you have to relock it. There was no need for it on my OneX, but it could be different on the One
Hi guys,
it is possible to put CWM or TWRP recovery on my Galaxy S3 Mini Value Edition (Model I8200)?
Probably yes, but how? I have tried (Yes I know, sorry) to flash the Recovery from the "Golden" on my phone. When I have done that, it boots up, crashes and don't enter in the recovery.
If I don't hold any buttons, it boots up (Android). But I already have messed up with the Recovery
Fixing the recovery can only be done with flashing a valid one now or putting back the Stock ROM (And I don't want stock)...
So, I have tred to make a CWM Recovery for the phone, but the files necessary to pull from the phone, I don't find on my phone (Maybe it differs from phone to phone).
I REALLY want CWM on that phone and I will try everything that you guys says to make on that phone. If you need any files, I will back right up and upload there.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Here are some files that you guys will prbably need: (Extracted from ".tar.md5" Stock ROM)

Here a picture of the content of the Stock ROM if anyone need to know what's in...

No
To take OTA update requires Stock System and Stock Recovery
You can try with just the stock recovery contained in the OTA.zip it's self
but if your system was altered in anyway it will still fail
Thanks, so if i want to update it...i must back to stock recovery and unroot my device?

Root doesn't matter but the deleted files from /data/preload when unlocking the bootloader will cause the ota installation to fail. Any modification to /system files will also cause issue.
Flash your stock recovery and you'll see. If red triangle error when installing the update, hold volume up and hit power to see the error message and post it here.
hi, thats my first question in a new thread.
Some days ago i get a s3 mini in my hands and i wanted to get it root.
thats the original state when i get it.

now i have flash the stock light v4 custom rom and inside the zip it have a boot.img file, so it flash a kenrel too. now i have
.
i flash a custom recovery and counter goes to 1. (i dont care about it, i dont have any waranty so i can complete ignore this)
my main reason it was to fix battery drain issue on android os. it seem like i didn't change anything.
now i have download a file from official Samsung page. title is I8190XXANC2_I8190EURANC1_HOME.tar.md5 .so i can go back to stock.
My question is will this make my phone complete stock with everything like stock firmware, stock recovery, stock kernel? again i dont care about the counter. i just want to change some roms and then i want to know that i can revert back anytime.
also if there is a fix for battery drain issue even on stock i will appreciate it.
thanks in advanced.
So when I try to boot up my phone depending on wether the USB is connected or not or how do I want to boot the following happens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So to shorten all the things I've donde I'll make a chronological list:
Install TWRP.
Flash RMM bypass and Magisk.
Use it on a daily basis with the stock rom 8.0.
Back up all my data to my SD card with Titan BackUp and TWRP.
Flash PA6 ROM using TWRP
seems to work fine until I try to make a call and it doesn't recognise my SIM card
I flash stock rom 9.0 using ODIN
I flash TWRP using ODIN
I flash PA6 ROM using TWRP
works fine so I restore my TWRP backup (only storage partition)
This is a simple 'in a nutshell' list I've done, it is missing dalvik, cache wipings, factory resets and the like, if they are necessary please let me know.
I already know once I am able to flash anything via ODIN I'll install the stockrom, then TWRP and later PA6 ROM and install every app by myself
