Hi! I am trying to unroot my phone and return all the way to stock.
Problem is that I lost all my backups.
I *think* I am currently on an older version of the FireKat rom.
I just want to completely go back to stock everything and start fresh. Will probably end up rooting and ROM'ing again at some point but for now just want to get on stock everything. Getting bored of my phone and having a lot of little bugs and issues (nothing major) but would like to switch back for a while because I simply just dont have the time to keep up with everything.
So if someone could please just point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Have looked for a guide on how to do it but am not sure if it will work for what I am trying to do.
Thank you very much in advance!

The screenshot above is where my phone currently stand. So what do I do to get from there to stock everything? I am also using several Wanam Xposed mods/tweaks/whatever. Does that effect this process at all?
I am aware of the comment someone left but I have no idea what that is. Any care to help me out and let me know if that applies to my current situation? I really need to get this done tonight. Thank you all!
What I linked to earlier is the thread which contains the stock restore files which you can use to restore your phone to factory fresh official NC2 using Odin. There are several threads linked in the thread I posted which will help you to restore If you aren't familiar with using Odin.

Thank you very much!! So after I do that I will be able to take all the official OTA's without messing anything up correct?
Real quick before I go through with this.. Do I want to ONLY use the 4 files (BL, AP, CP, CSC)? Or do I want to use those 4 files AND the pit file? Sorry for all the questions it has been forever since I did this
You shouldn't have any problems taking OTAs after this process. Unless there are any problems with your partitions, I wouldn't bother with the pit file.

Okay, so I just typed for 20 minutes on this reply and then accidentally closed the tab before posting. ;_; So let's try this again. It's probably going to be a bit shorter this time around, 'cause I don't wanna spend another 20 minutes, but mkay
I'm pretty new to all this, and while I think I have a decent idea of what to do, I want to make sure I'm going to be doing everything right the first time around
I was planning on doing the following:
1) install the 3 button combo fix
2) install clockworkmod recovery
3) install speedmod
4) install a custom rom
Now I have some questions regarding all this Probably very newbish questions, but alas, here goes:
1) clockworkmod=clockworkmod recovery right? same thing?
2) if I installed clockworkmod, could I still use Odin if wanted to?
3) radio, rom & kernel are 3 different things, ive been told by a friend with a HTC Hero. but I only see custom versions of ROM and Kernel for the SGS. Does that mean it's different for SGS users? how I should see this?
4) with clockworkmod I could put a backup stock rom into place to flash to in case I ever have to send my phone back, right?
5) custom roms dont include custom kernels right? since when I read custom rom threads they sometimes list kernels, as if they're included or something. confuses me. they're 2 entirely different things to install, right?
I think that's about it. Am I missing anything? I mean, is there anything I could/should do as well?
Hope you guys can help me

oh and bump
I'm about to save you a lot of time Rogers (Canada) Captivate users.
I spent the last 6 hours using http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html these directions to flash a rom.
Here is what they don't tell you.
This is for the AMERICAN version (AT&T) Captivate only. Yes. You will be able to install the rom on your phone... but the SIM card supplied to you by rogers will not work with this rom.
Also, after following the "excellent" tutorials online and via youtube, you will end up with a phone flashed back to "stock" (At&T) stock... with all their bloatware. AND your startup graphic will now be "AT&T world phone"
Who would have known how good we had it as Rogers customers?
Bottom line. Stay away from Serendipity, and possibly all roms. Launcher pro is better than 90% of them anyway it seems. And you can turn that off in .6 seconds.

I'm currently using Serendipty 5.2 on my Rogers Captivate with no issues what so ever. You're most certainly doing something wrong.
Nice to know. The latest version is 5.7, which I installed. I will not add a clever image showing your folly by responding to my post out of common courtesy.

How about explaining what I did wrong instead of a face palm? I know that's asking alot.
Are you saying the tut online doesn't flash to an ATnT stock? Are you saying I'm stupid? Are you saying your rom works no matter what? Tell me. Educate. Communicate.
At the very least refute my claims.
Do your self a favor and delete your comments. It is still early, not too many have read it yet. You need to read much more and gain a better understanding before you post something like this
It would appear that the statement made by the OP is false, in that the ROM works on various versions of the device.
If you need assistance, make a new thread in Captivate Q&A, without a title directing the issue at one particular ROM (how about something like the new title of this thread?)
Explain what you have tried, what isn't working (exactly), and someone might be so good as to tell you what you did wrong.

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though
Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel
Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks
there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

dear xda members
i own a galaxy tab for six months. the first time i got it, it was locked to Orange (Europe) under froyo 2.2, but i unlocked it to make it work here in Algeria.
sometimes it get locked by it self after a reboot! something i did notice after one month, and then it repeatedly hapen every week or so, then i decided to get stock gingerbread jq1 (i do like custom roms but i prefer using my device with stock system) because i thought it will wipe the system and let no trace of Orange crap, suddenly i was wrong, because it keep showing me Orange in the satut bar (at least one time per day) along with my provider (Djezzy), when it hapen, the phone force close all active applications and i lose signal for a while, until its gone and got back my provider signal.
please help, any suggestion is very welcome, even if it is a custom rom (a stable one)
thanks
You can try Hyperdroid. It has SIM unlock build into the boot up.
It is more stripped down compared to JQ1 or Overcome.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444240
D.O.C is a senior moderator here now, and doesn't have time developing this ROM further but it is stable.
I use his RedPill 2.0.1 kernel before.
Hope it works for you.
There are other ways to customise unlocking into your JQ1 but I have not seen the details on how to do it.

i have fond a temporary solution for my problem, so after changing many times my nv_data.bin, trying to unlock it and get rid of orange who comes every hour or tow, i decided to take another step and i made a backup of my efs before erasing it completely, getting ride of efs let android generate a new efs without any trace of my oem, the thing you lose here is you imei code, because the new efs contains a different imei!
any way, i dont have to worry about orange any more

I can't really have him install that because his phone won't go past the Galaxy Note 3 screen when he boots. This is what happened... he rooted successfully rooted with kingo and installed safestrap. He made a nandroid backup and installed a rom. The rom was force closing a lot of his apps so he decided to return to his nandroid backup. He first wiped everything and then he was going to restore but his backup wasn't there so he rebooted from there and that was his mistake. He can't enter safestrap anymore and won't get past the Galaxy Note 3 screen. This is all the information I have from his device.

Look in general section for restore to mj5. That will get him back to mj5.
I bricked mine with a botched 4.4 update file or something, I took it to the Samsung experience center at best buy, they flashed it back to 4.3 for me even with the boot screen saying CUSTOM
