So I ****** up, I'm usually good with this stuff but I don't know...
Anyways here is what happened. I had a rooted stock rom on Jellybean. Working fine I wanted to upgrade so...
I installed safestrap 3.71 and flashed the Urdroid stock rooted kitkat rom. Then I went onto ODIN and installed the files in this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
I got an error and realized crap the ATT Note 3 is not the same as the Rogers version...
ATT = SM900A
Rogers = SMN900W8
soooooo I realized I've been in the wrong forum this whole time and I was wondering what can I do to get help? Safestrap/recovery still works and I'm pretty sure I can flash JB roms still. I'm not sure which rom to use and where to go now.
What can I do to get back to stock or even better get a working Jellybean Rom?
Thanks a lot!
Okay I'm downloading the stock firmware from that sammobile and going to flash it with ODIN, hopefully should put me back to factory condition

i want to flash back to stock to install another ROM, i have the rogers captivate and was just planning to use the at&t odin one click, will my sim card still work? since its at&t version? thanks alot.
What are you running and why flash to stock
CM7
was running serendipity 5.12, and updated to 6.0, i didnt worry about my sim, just left it out and used wifi. up and running on 6.0 working good. although i like the swype theme better on 5.12 where would i place the apk from the older version to my phone?
first off DONT use the odin one click to stock. you will get the ATT bootscreen.
unless something isnt working you dont need to go to stock between roms.
read the rogers i896 wiki for stock rom information and how to CORRECTLY flash rogers stock. and fix the ATT boot logo if you already screwed yourself.

research research research
EDIT also check out the stock rom link in my sig!
There is a thread in this section that has the steps to go back to rogers stock perfectly I just used it to flash CM7 on it.
Hi, so last night i tried to put gingerbread and serendipity on my friends captivate thats unlocked to tmobile.
All the odin package to install the bootloader and gb went well but when i flashed the kernal it just messed the functionality of the phone up and i had to odin back to stock.
He is on eclair still. I was told that it should work with tmobile. I dont have to put serendipity on but as an end result he does want gb rooted. So...is there any tmobile happy roms available that will get my gb rooted?
thanks in advance
all great roms here are "t mobile happy". What exactly went wrong in the process?
Any rom will work, as long as the phone is unlocked. I assume you already know that the cappy will be missing one of the bands for Tmo.
ok, so all went smooth at first using odin to flash the bootloader and stock gingerbread. Next I went and used odin to flash the kernal and it installed properly and even showed up right in the settings as the right kernal.
After reboot these were the problems i encountered:
- home button didnt work at all
-when making a call and hitting send, the phone would turn off
-no data - no market or web connectivity
- other little things
the stock gingerbread was working fine after the first flash. can i flash any kernal to root or just retry the same one?
thanks
Sounds like you installed a i9000 rom. Double check your rom source.
on the splash screen it said i9000 but i thought it was just ported over or something. but i got it from the captivate page... uggh im lost if thats the case
hi all
i picked up a used rogers galaxy tab 7".upgraded to 2.3.3 official via kies.
GT-P1000R
rooted it.
unlocked it.
now i wish to use the phone capabilities and have a few questions.
i see in a couple posts that you no longer have to flash a complete rom,just a modem.
is that info correct?
i see that the jm2 modem seems to work best with the rogers tab,so do i just flash the modem with odin and that gives me the voice capability.
or do i need to flash a complete rom(European)?
also there is no dialer program so where do i get that at?or does it come with the modem flash.
is there a better modem than jm2 for the rogers tab?or the bell i9000 modem?
i am in canada
thanks,jeff

you need a euro based rom (official or custom) and bell i9000 modem.
hi
i have the bell i9000 modem already downloaded but not flashed.
which european rom would work best with the rogers tab.
i prefer 2.3.3
thanks

Careful what you flash though, if it's from XDA any ROM should do you okay but Samsung official ROMs may contain locked boot loaders. Catch up on some reading before doing anything.
Also i suggest that you do a complete backup of your tab before flashing anything else so that you could revert back in case of issues. Stock ROGERS firmware is hard to find. And if you do a backup I wouldn't mind a copy of it as long as you keep your personal information out. As a matter of fact, what i am after is a un-rooted fully stock ROGERS ROM. As i have deleted my original backup, and would like to revert completely back to stock, I would be very thankfull if you could help. But none the less you should do a complete backup, something like the roto or nandroid backups.
Try the OVERCOME rom, it's a great place to start as a noob to flashing, they have very detailed tutorials and the ROM is good.
EDIT: And the OVERCOME rom does work with the bell i9000 modem just fine for phone calls. Although the volume on the tab is not the greatest for a speakerphone.

unlocked using galaxy s unlock from market.
can i even revert back to stock?if so i will do a backup.
i have done nothing else to the stock rogers 2.3.3

Thanks for the offer. But no need to go through all of that unless you can un root with something like super one click (fast and easy, but I don't think that will work for you). If your tab is still under warranty you might want to learn how to root and unroot and restock and such (its all covered in the forums). Otherwise I don't want you playing with your tab and have a "bad" flash trying to help me out. Do read up in the dev section before you start flashing custom ROMs.
That said if you do feel comfortable flashing and decide to make a backup for yourself I definitely wouldn't mind a copy.

hi
not scared of bricking the tab,i have been flashing samsungs for the last couple years,captivates etc.my last tab i did a supposed gps fix which ended in a bootloop.
i managed to get it back but with a modified 2.2 firmware.then kies would not let me upgrade to 2.3.3(unofficial firmware error)
my problems have always been actually returning to stock.
in recovery i have the orange clockwork recovery that has an option to do factory reset.will this take me back to unrooted and unlocked???
if so consider it done.
i will need direction to do a full backup after that.
jeff
Doing a hard reset will NOT un-root or re-lock your device (as far as I know). The factory reset will clear the data and cache and should not touch the system. You have to un-root your device using the method you rooted it with or something along those lines.
As far as a backup is concerned, creating a system backup has been covered in the forums before. There is plenty of detailed instructions on performing a backuphave a look at the Roto Backup method.
Just picked up a galaxy tab ( rogers )
gt-p1000r
firmware 2.2
all stock
no root
no unlock
I would like to "give back" something
for all the HELLp you guys have given via these forums
( i swear all my grey hair started once i dumped my blackberry and went samsung and found this site! )
Anyway
If you are still looking for the a copy of the STOCK system before I start to play...
I will try to figure out how to make a copy for you
I've tried uninstalling superuser and all it has. I've tried like 5 times now the install for the new firmware update won't install i keep getting a android with the red exclamation sign and its front door open, then it boots in to android and says update failed. Help please!
Do I have to factory restore first or somthing? i really dont wanna have to cause i just got this phone from at&t as a referb for my old one that had battery issues and its not fun setting everything up over again lol

Hi buddy.
First of all, I don't entirely understand what are you trying to do. What to you mean with "firmware update"? Do you want to flash a new ROM?

Got it. Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751263
You may find all the information you need there. Even if you can't, don't worry, is just a minor update, it is not Kitkat.
I've already been through that thread and haven't really found my solution to my issue. Any ideas?

Sadly no, my friend. Any reason in particular about why you want this specific update?
Let's hope somebody else in this forum can help you.
Are you running a stock recovery? Have you tried using Myth Tools to flash back to stock?
Its running stock rom from factory everything is factory right now
I kept getting the dead Android as well. We're you running a KK ROM on your phone before restoring to stock? I was running Validus and tried to use Myth Tools to flash a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM which also failed to take the update. I then installed a 4.1.2 Bell stock ROM (my phone came from Bell) via Myth, let the phone boot, and then flashed a stock ATT ROM via Myth and it took the update.

I am on 4.1.1 from the factory. This is a referb phone from the factory like not even a week old yet. Boot loader isn't even unlocked. Its all stock and I'm getting dead android.
If you're getting the dead Android, it makes me believe that something may be wrong with the stock recovery. Some people were able to get the update to install using the latest Philz Touch recovery rather than stock recovery.

Ok First..
there was a weird update for ATT and i updated.. no big deal.. device wasnt rooted
Looked at ping pong root to see if my build number was supported and it was! , so i rooted my device..
shortly after realized rooting a 5.0.2 is pointless because im into that SBGAMEHACKER app alot, and not having it makes majorty of the root pointless.. so I downloaded the latest ATT stock firmware off of one of the major posts here with all these links and downloaded the correct odin .. flashed stock firmware, went into the back door of the phone and did a hard reset/plus wipe cache ...
phone is great now and all but something wierd.. starting the phone, there is no att "locker" how it always be... and also the keyboard is not the actual lolipop keyboard, it has that swype ugly looking keyboard, tried hard reseting again by doing wipe factory reset etc.. and flashing using odin stock firmware again but no luck at all.. phone is fine and all, but its bothering me that its really not 100% ATT stock...
anyone have links to a true ATT Stock firmware for latest software?
