Flash RC29, it should revert everything including the boot.img

it changes the first image back to stock but not the 2nd one....is there a adb command to erase it

You have to root it again if you want to get rid of it and fast boot erase splash 2 (it's in the theme forum).
However, I've heard of people returning their G1s with custom splash 2 images and Tmobile not caring about it consistently. Do NOT blame if this is not true anymore... I"m just saying that you're not the first one to do this.
Good luck.

ok i solved the problem i rooted again and deleted splash2 now its tme to unroot again lol...anyone have a copy of the official cupcake build i cant find one anywhere?

Just don't worry about loading cupcake back on. You'll get the update.

[Q] Seems like I have the first bricked note 3

So I was messing with the system permissions in Es file exolorer, when I accidently set everyrhing to 666. As soon as I hit back I knew I was done for. I started getting foce closes on everything. I reset the phone hoping I could factory reset and be ok; but it keeps looping back to recovery when I turn it on. Im not home/in front a computer right now....but it seems my only hope is odin with the root files. I havent been able to find a stock rom for this phone. Att sucks for locking the bootloader. I will be donating to the bounty when I get in the house.
Anyone have any suggestions or know where a stock rom is oosted?

go to root de la vega site, and download the root. there is an odin image there to restore you to stock. you are ok.

thanks
Thanks a lot. Finally home will try right now

NO GO
Ok so the root de la vega seems to have been taken down since there is a new method. And I cant find the firmware for our phones,
What will happen if I try to load a tmobile firmware to the phone?
At this point I think I have a brick and might try it.

Thanks for the help guys. Im up and running again.

First? No.
I bricked my phone well over 10 times already since the day got it. (Damn you framework-res.apk and androidpolicy.jar )
It's all part of the fun! Glad to hear you're back up and running.

Bricked
Well, I've done it too, but mine brick is probably worse. I updated with OTA update, then attempted to root so I tried flashing the Odin inside the Vega package, just to find out the OTA patched the "holes", now I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
So I tried the One Click from the Vega package, but it doesn't do it, it fails with write protect error.
Kies don't have emergency recovery either, and won't even recognize the device.
I'm thinking I have to wait for the actual updated one click comes out to fix it.
Please be warned, DON'T try it

There are quite a few of us in that situation. There are a number of people working on it. Hopefully something will come up soon. I wish AT&T would actually release official firmware for our phone through Kies. Would make the recovery process so much faster than having to wait for people to rip MJ5 and re-package it.

i get a black screen....Help
i went ahead and rooted with kingo and deleted some stuff in the system/app folder and now after reboot i get com.google.process.gapps, dropbox, setup wizard and chaton [ unfortunately process has stop ] and it goes into a reboot loop, i can stop the reboot loop when i reroot with kingo but then all i get is a black screen with no apps, launcher, no access to any applications other than the systems settings. Pls help...

fuuhhhh!!!
Me too - figured I'd wait a week before rooting, didn't even bothering to check xda, my bible on such matters, and her I am thinking I know better.

Go to the root kitkat thread. Or the firmware thread. Grab the Odin files for the 4.3 ota. Flash all of them except the bootloader tar. Then just wait. Don't pull battery or anything else.if you see the at&t logo keep waiting. When it fully boots, continue with kitkat upgrade and root. Be sure to grab my upgraded kk Ota from the last few pages of the kk root thread . Also make sure to look at my backup process so you'll be able to make and use backups. Oh and thank the other 43 people for not even bothering to help. I'll check back and see how things see going.

and any clue why i cant flash the 442 carbon rom
and again thank you so much
as i just got this phone yesterday and couldnt believe i almost bricked it
as ive been modding phones since the original razr came out and never even came close to
what happened with this phone

Just flash it in safestrap as the KK update. Read the root kitkat thread again if you need a refresher on anything. Make sure you do not wipe cache/dalvik when installing the zip. Just reboot recovery and install the zip.As for the custom rom I would say because of locked bootloader. This is my first galaxy,I'm an HTC guy normally.Now that I think about it. Once your on KK safestrap cant mount the system.I found a work around using the pawned kernel,that is also in my backup thread.

Follow the exact steps I laid out above. If you went step by step following my instructions,then following the root instructions everything should be fine. Once you get 4.4 back up dont play around with it until you make a backup.

ok i am trying to sideload my ota update on my att s4 active sgh-i357. It had problem with digitizer not working. So i reset it a few times. Now it stuck in reboot loop, or it freezes on the battery. Not even the att symbol. I try to restore in recovery but it reboots out of recovery as well. I read this is a softbrick but im lost on what i should do next. I have tried several different things. But nothing will get past this point

[Q] Can you help me get my Recovery Menu back and possibly Stock FW

Okay so to start I followed this Tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120 all the way through and my phone was rooted and I was happy. One day I tried to install TWRP since this is what I used on my Galaxy s3 before this phone. It got stuck on on a boot loop. I eventually tried flashing every stock ROM which did not fix the problem because ODIN would fail when trying to flash. Eventually I tried flashing the "G900A_ND3_Stock_Kernel" supplied in the tutorial. My phone magically booted up and all my APPS and stuff was the same as I left it and it was still rooted. I decided not to mess with it anymore. This happened about a month ago.
Today, my phone had a notification saying that there was an update and I tapped remind me later. Eventually, I installed Titanium Back up to force closed the AT&T Software Update app the phone came with. Then. it automatically updated and eventually got stuck into the boot loop again. No problem, I fixed this before. What I noticed from the first time was that I had a screen that said "Secure Fail: Recovery. System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help" Once I flashed the stock kernel from the tutorial I never checked to see if the recover menu was there.
So right now I have my phone working and its rooted. I installed the "Phone Info" app and it says Bootloader Version:G900AUCU2ANG3. Eventually, my phone will try to update itself again and it will fail causing it to boot loop. I am not sure on what to do. Is there a way for me to have my recovery menu back? I just want to have the option in the future to revert everything back to normal in case I sell it or feel like having the newest OS. Also it would be cool to have a recovery menu on my phone again.
I know this was long but I needed to solve this problem before it gets out of hand in the future. Also I am pretty sure others have followed the tutorial and might have had the idea to update the OS or something else and had a problem similar to mine.
Thank You Very Much.

So you're still rooted?
And if so using titanium backup just freeze the ATT update app I forget what it's called exactly but you'll know it when you see it and that'll stop your device from trying to automatically trying to update

You need to download the safe strap recovery menu. That is for rooted phones with locked bootloaders.

Thank You very much I was able to install the Safe strap Recovery and am now backing it up. Hopefully my last question Is there a way to update in the future for example if I wanted to have the OTA firmwares from AT&T without root in case I were to sell the phone?
Thank you guys for the answers.

Hardbricked flex, anyone willing to help?

Flex Hard bricked for seemingly no reason, I was on JB. I definitely declined any and all OTAs, one minute I was texting my boyfriend, locked the phone, set it down. Next minute it rebooted into recovery and refused to reboot into anything else. No big deal, adb was broken but I still had backups to flash. DL mode was broken, btw. I used usbotg to load up a backup and it still only booted into recovery. I figured I'd fix my dl mode by dding a laf.img backup I had made a while back to the right spot, but then after rebooting, recovery broke, and dl mode loaded, alas it was stuck on the dots. So I just gave up and have been boned ever since, figured I'd finally make a post asking if anyone would explain a process to repair, or be willing to do a hardmod for me for free, or money if wanted. I'm in the US and can probably ship most places, going on pure trust here.

As for your device QuickBrown. DO NOT cross DLL files you have a huge chance to brick! Look for your specific device files, thus eliminating hex editing. If you do OTA download it from someone who has posted them here in XDA. Mine had the same issue with accepting the OTA's. When i downloaded the OTA's from XDA and flashed them via adb sideload it worked fine. As for your adb and fastboot issue. Go to DL mode and flash the tot and dll. And if you decide to take the OTA downloads from here on XDA, when applying them via adb sideload do not skip the update order! As far as i know the ls995 flex (sprint) has the OTA's available here on XDA. As for the other variants i am unsure. Hope it helps! :fingers-crossed:
