Restore Stock 4.3 using CMW - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I have no issues flashing custom rom using (POWER+HOME+UP Volume)
Is it possible to download from SAMMOBILE and flash using the customer recovery of CWM ?
I'm assuming it would work like flashing any custom rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, any Firmware downloaded from SAMMOBILE needs to be unzipped and then flashed via ODIN.

Thank you, this was the exact answer I was looking for.

If you're rooted mobile odin should do it.

thanks alot!
and if my friend has a stock rom and i backup it via recovery and then flash it on my device..is it possible? i will lose my root?

Official MF9 tar is up~!

You can download the official Sprint Galaxy S4 MF9 update tar files here~!! :good::laugh:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720
Here as well.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SPH-L720&pcode=0#firmware
I haven't finished downloading yet or unzipping to see if the file is correct but the zipped file size sends a bit small for an official ROM. Also, they package the kernel separately? That's weird.
Has anyone used these?
Flash the SPR-L720VPUAMF9-20130626162512.zip via TWRP ?
Then the KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUAMF9-1372121308.tar is flashed via Odin?

I used it myself and it worked very well. For me, a fresh MF9 flash via PC Odin was more stable and smoother than doing the MDL to MF9 update.
If you flash the full MF9 tar, you don't need to go back and flash the kernel tar.
Thank you!
I am on MDL w/ many mods.
I guess I am gonna have to go this route, although, phone is working as I like.
But, I guess I have to continue to move forward?
Sigh, I also will guess after doing this will wipe out everything, and I have to start all over.
Definitely gonna perform a fullbackup first, and then remove my ext. sdram.

Does one lose root and custom recovery if flashed either via odin or via cwm/twrp?
I should say, can i still flash supersu if i flash this file or do i have to reroot/unlock my phone again?

Yes, you'll lose root and custom recovery. After flashing this, use Odin again to flash a custom recovery then flash SuperSU within custom recovery to gain back root.
Is it possible for someone to make a NOData version. (Got kind of spoiled from the E4GT)

Can someone give me the noob guide? Can I flash this over rooted stock and have a "legit" binary when I go into download mode? If so, what's the simplest way to flash?

It's pretty simple. First, backup all your data and media then perform a factory reset from the phone's Setting menu.
Shut the phone down and enter the stock recovery mode. Open Odin on your laptop or desktop, connect your phone, select the tar file, and flash your phone. You'll be back to 100% stock.

Then you will need to reroot using odin and then reflash a ROM.

Can someone please please please torrent this? These download sites are ungodly slow, and since I accidentally cancelled the download on hotfile, I can't redownload it again for awhile.

I am not very good with the S4 since it is my friends phone I have a note 2. If I flash the full MF9 via odin then all I have to do is CF auto root again and my friend it rooted again?
If I use ODIN do I have to edit ODIN to show phone bootloader update checked before I flash the MF9 tar?
Anyone have a suggestion on how to rooted back once the update to MF9 is done beside CF auto root method?

Yes! Use CF-Autoroot to root and be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc. or you'll kill your phone.
Check this out for what it should look like.

[Q] Flash CWM

Hi!
Can I just download cwm from here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and flash it via stock recovery like I had done with all my other phones? (Stock android 4.1.2)
I read many forums about that I have to flash Philz kernel first and use odin but is it necessary anymore? I also tried to look different kernel+cwm versions from Philz but newest download doesnt have any different kernel version (or I just dont find them).
You will need to use philz to root. On this phone recovery is in kernel.

So I just download zip file from here and flash it using stock recovery? It its possible do without odin? Or why there is .zip and .tar.md5 and .zip.md5 from same version of recovery file?
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/n7000
No not that link.. There will be one for tw only.. Flash using recovery.. Tar version of the kernel can be flashed using Odin.. But flashing using Odin will increase the binary count..

You mean this -> http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=25295#files
There is only XXLTA-ATL does it matter? Older cwm versions seems to have different version too.
After that I can flash roms and anything like with other phones?
Thanks for help!
That's that's one of the latest.. Match the rom version you have any other the kernel name and flash that.. Then you will be able to flash any rom but kitkat.

Rooting DOJ7 with CF autoroot?

Can this be done using this link?
http://androidhost.org/lofNs
Then ODIN a custom recovery like TWRP.
TIA.
You can Odin a custom recovery, but you cannot root with cf-auto-root. You need to flash a custom kernel

I can flash a custom recovery via odin then flash a custom rom with the same base band I currently have?

Kinda nervous about this. I took all the OTA's up to DOJ7.
I just downloaded an ODIN flashable twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar.
Flash that in AP and it should re-boot i hope? Or will I need to have the custom rom on the phone befor I flash.
TIA!

You don't need to have the rom on device, just flash recovery, but before you do that go into developer options and enable OEM Unlocking
