[REQUEST] Stock ROM Flashable ZIP - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just wondering why nobody has bothered making a flashable ZIP of the stock ROM. It would be super great if someone could make one because it would be so much easier to just flash the ZIP using TWRP instead of flashing the factory image which wipes everything.
I am sorry I dont know apart from flashing a ROM. Hence the request

That's what twrp backup is for.do a trwp backup on stock and you have a stock image for yourself. Do that before flashing anything.

I'd love to have a stock zip file to flash from twrp. A 5.0.2 port would be wonderful

I agree a stock zip would be great. I had issues with twrp and wasn't able to get a good backup. I ended restoring from someone else's twrp backup.

[ROM]UVMA1 rooted, deodexed rom [Stock] TouchWIZ

This is for the SGH-T879 I did not de-bloat this, if you would like it de-bloated feel free to remove all the bloat using good old Win rar. Once again this is stock UVMA1 just rooted and deodexed.
Instructions;
(If you are flashing from a CM10 Build use darkside super wipe first. if you are coming from Android 4.2 or 4.3 please use Oden to Down grade first the stock Oden flashable file can be found here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T879&pcode=0#firmware then skip to the section of how to use this to root stock UMA1)
1)Boot to TWRP.
2)Select the install tab.
3) Select file.(Darkside Super wipe, then rom)
4) Wipe Cashe and Dalvik Cashe.
5) Reboot.
Note; This rom automatically does a factory reset (noob safety net), if you have a stock touchwiz UVLG image you can safely restore your data from a backup.
This ROM can be used to root UVMA1 upgrade. After upgrade use Odin to flash ClockWork MOD. Then from CWM flash TWRP. Reboot to recovery (you should now be in TWRP). Backup your data. Install this ROM. Wipe both cashes. Restore Data. You now have rooted UVMA1. If downgrading from Android 4.2 or 4.3 you may have use Oden to Downgrade first in order to prevent bootloop, it shouldn't brick your phone but why take the chance.

PS I am not a Developer, So no need to to send me cheese. This ROM was developed by Samsung. All I did is root and deodex it that's all. Although feel free to abuse the thank you button
Also due to the huge size of this file I am still looking for a permanent hosting site this one only last 7days.
As always I am not responsible if your phone
1) explodes
2) changes the nature of Algae growth
3) bricks
4) alters the time space continuum
5) turns evil and plots to overthrow the earth
6) or any other unforeseen mishap that may befall your phone due to the fact you failed to follow directions.

will this work on note i717 ?
In theory, it can if you replace the boot image a T717 Stock ICS Boot image using 7zip or winrar.I would still be extremely careful. Your best(TO AVOID BRICKING) bet would be running this through ROM kitchen with the T717 Stock TouchWIZ ICS as you're base ROM.

Thanks for this man. I always find myself going back to stock when I need some stability for a while. I have been getting too many reboots with CM10 lately.
No problem. I made back in March for myself, didn't know anyone else needed it until people started asking for it.

We need all the help we can get.
Apologies for the noob questions... Could you explain the advantages of the UVMA1 over the UVLG3?
All I want is stability, when I was running the stock UVLG3 I had issues where I had to task-kill to get ram over 100mb in order to have any audio on phone calls...
I'm running Jedi 4 now and it's great other than the calendar widget and wallpaper scaling.
If UVMA1 is better, would you mind reposting it somewhere? If it works I certainly don't mind donating a bit, I use my phone everyday and the people that make it work better deserve some compensation
Thank you,
Scott
No need to donate, you already did when you bought the phone (Samsung built it, I just rooted it) The UVMA1 build contains the latest radio for out phone and extra security features, according to Samsung and T-Mobile.

Can I flash this through Odin as I can only get into download mode with a USB jig.
I had TWRP and a CM rom and bricked it trying to do a restore. I tried flashing the stock through Odin (3 times) but as far as I get is the Samsung logo. Everything went smoothly with Odin start to finish but got a boot-loop.

[Q] Installing TWRP over CWM

Hey guys, I was wondering if I can just simply install TWRP over CWM using the tool kit provided by mskip or I'll brick my phone if I do that? Thanks and sorry for my poor english lol
I installed twrp provided by maclaw team over cwm simply by flashing twrp zip in cwm (like you would flash new rom, or gapps) and rebooted recovery. Nothing bricked and had no problems.

I read somewhere, that unfortunately no. However, if something goes really wrong, you still can flash cwm back and then restore. (and if you can't then perhaps flash it through odin?)
Oh well, thanks a lot anyway
Sent from my GT-I8190 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
no problem
when twpr install, reboot and then do a back up with twpr, it is clear that CWM will recognize you as you create a folder TWPR.
I'm now with TWPR

Stop giving people bad information... Of course you can if you have the updater script written to write raw image to your recovery partition.

So, does it work like that, that I can simply open cwm backup file in twrp? Or is this script written by something external? Because that's what OP was asking for I guess.
I wrote this because I read it somewhere in development thread of CM 10.2, if it's false, then I'm guilty of spreading misinformation

No you can't restore a cwm backup in twrp. I thought the OP asked if it's ok to flash twrp recovery while in cwm, to change the recovery. That works fine
Hi guys, I read all the threads about replacing the CWM with the TWRP, everyone seems to agree on the fact that you need to flash the zip file TWRP by entering the CWM, however there is no such thing as a zip file, I checked on the download page
https://dl.twrp.me/golden/
and there are either .tar files or .img files.
Can I just flash the .tar TWRP file using ODIN ?
Does it overwrite the existing CWM ?

eventually I just flashed the CWM using ODIN and everything worked fine, then I realized that I had flashed the official CWM and not the novafusion version, so I again flashed it using ODIN and everything works fine. Now In only have to flash the ROM.

[Q] How to install new recovery?

Well i currently have CWM, and want to install philz touch, do i need to go back to stock rom, and root and unlock bootloader again, i don't want to loose all my data
You could use a tool to do it or flash it if it's flashable. There is no need to to anything else but what I mentioned before. At least, that's what I've done in past experience

+1. Just download the flashble zip, copy it to sd card, flash it from your existing custom recovery.

[Q] Extraction of boot img on D415 stock rom

I have tried to extract the boot.img using many guides on it but yet the boot.img isn't suitable to be create as a flashable zip. I'm planning making a modified V10E root stock which I already have the stock recovery partions made by twrp. Please help me with this; I would enjoy help on this.

What you can do is the Following, if you can't find a flashable update zip :
1- Do a 20i Data only backup. (i say Data only cuz if you do Full Backup and you update to 20o you won't be using all of it for Hard-Brick reason)
2- Update using KDZ. (LGUP + KDZ)
3- Follow existing TWRP installation + Root procedures.
4- Once that done just Reboot to TWRP and Restore DATA + Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
will take time but is the only way i can think off right now,
i hope this helps
P.S. i been told Bootloader won't be lock after doing the KDZ update , so don't quote me on that.
Will there ever be a flashable zip?
