Hello everyone,
I have an SM N900A on 4.4.2 and it's running DynamicKat6.1. That being said, I had hoped to come back and see an easy way to get my phone basically back to stock. I had anticipated using the older method using Heimdall but it seems that doesn't work anymore, and so I have kind of come to a loss. I don't know if it's possible for me to get back to my stock MJ5? Or if there is some other way I can achieve a stock setting just so I can ease my way back into exploring my devices capabilities again? If so please let me know what you all think.
Look in the general section. They have Odin flash able tar files there. 4.4.2 4.4.4 and 5.0. But before you so. If you want to root. Do research.

Thank you for that advice. I have downloaded the flashable files and odin 3.10.6 but I have gotten errors trying to use both the all in one, and the other file set. Is there a guide to this that I am missing? I am currently looking into it more but any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Use Odin 3.0.7. And of you down the all.in one home tar file. Open Odin click on pda. And search for the tar file add then press start. Also phone must be in download mode. Turn phone off. Hold home power and down volume button. It will.pop up

After following your advice, my phone seems to be stuck in a constant restart loop, and can't do anything when I make it to the home screen. I will have to look into this, but in the meantime if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Edit: After flashing the wipe set of files, I was able to get the phone in working order. Thanks for all the input
Welcome man. Sorry I forgot to tell you after flash using Odin boot into recovery and wipe data. My bad. Glad to hear you got your phone up and running

Hey guys I flashed a rom and when the tab boots up the screen does not light up.
I am looking for the stock rooted or unrooted odin tar file to restore.
I can't get into recovery mode even when I tried through adb to get it into recovery mode.
Im not sure what manual recovery mode buttons are if there are any..
Thank you
Recovery can be access from complete shutdown, press volume up and power button together.
Hold until Samsung logo appear m let go power button but continue holding vol up.

Thanks for the tip but its not working.
Any ideas as to finding the stock tar file to restore?
Thanks
Can you access download mode?
If you can, I suggest you follow the link in my signature.
It is better than stock T-Mobile.
I myself am using T849, BTW.

I flashed the kernel using Odin but which ROM can be flashed through Odin?
I see that they are all zips to be flashed in recovery.
Thank you for your help
GB stock safe v5 is a zip package but if you read the guide, you meant to unzip it.
At any rate, read the guide.

Please instruct me n how to. I am losing this battle. I do get into DL mode but from there I'm done..
I attached a pdf showing the error I keep getting
No phone after update
I am a newbie and I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I have no phone capability after the stock safe v5. If I use the original 2.3.3 or 2.3.6 european tmobile roms (obtained elsewhere), I have phone but slow data. With the safe stock, the phone crashes as soon as it tried to dial but data seems to be good. The indicator switches between 3g and H (whatever that means).
I will probably go CM9 but wanted to know if anyone is having problems with making or receiving phone calls. I am in the US and I used the tmobile bin as stated in the instructions.
I will keep searching the forums to see if this is addressed anywhere.
Thanks
H is hsdpa or 3.5g
You get that because you use t-mobile radio.
It doesn't allow voice call.
Flash jpz modem, you will be able to make voice call but data speed drop to edge only.

Hello all,
I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.
I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.
So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.
I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.
So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.
I did reinstall the usb driver
Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.
I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.
I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.
Not ever rooted
Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Thanks ahead
Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.
Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.
It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.
Thanks
Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.
Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?
Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)
Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.
With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr
Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.
Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?
Thanks again for the assistance.
It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.
I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?
I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.
Thanks!
Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help
I'm sure those are the only two. The other one is honeycomb. They are the official Samsung roms. I think you've done what you can.

Yea, noticed that too. I used the rom from Sammy but didn't have an issue. I wonder if they got the wrong tab version.
OP, can you post what rom you flashed? And do you have an i957?

Regretfully my tab is not under warranty, and I don't know what to try next? Do you have any ideas
In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.
I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.
I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.
Thanks ahead for any help.
Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.

Yeah I've tried both of the roms on sammobile. Didn't work.
Well, thanks very much for the help. I'll keep checking here through tomorrow to see if anyone else has a suggestion to try and if not I will just mail it back to Samsing on Monday. I hate doing that because I need it for a trip on the 15th. Grrr
Very frustrating.

Personally I would try flashing each individual file I.e. bl, csc, etc. Try combos make sure your in dl mode and have drivers installed
Good luck

I believe you have to skip the BL file, as in do not flash the BL file. Plug all your files but the bl file and flash them. Because of the bootloader being loacked, it seems it will failed because it can't actually flash the file. Here is a great thread to get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785363
Good luck. Report is it works.

The phone is not totally bricked. The correct firmware needs to be re-flashed, as what's been said. You used the wrong one, as well as the wrong Odin. You should be using Odin 3.09.
Hello, i want to go back to stock rom on my galaxy s5. I am not bricked or anything like that. Every tutorial i look at, it involves using odin, and i cannot do that. I am on the Extreme Debloat ATT V1 running 4.4.2 kitkat. I don't have a md5 file to flash yet because i do not want to download a wrong file and screw up my phone. I don't have a computer at the time, so is there any way i can just download the file straight from my phone and copy it to root and go to recovery and wipe the device and then flash? thank you!
Please someone

my friend has this phone, and he is having lots of issues, im thinking something is corrupt. i have been looking through the different threads trying to figure out the best route as i dont own this phone. i remember in the fascinate GS1 days, i would just download a tar and flash in odin with a repartition file to start fresh again. im getting lost in these forums looking for the files i should get, and the procedure i should follow.
would someone mind leading me to the proper procedure and files to the most relevant stock rom please.
Before trying to reflash stock, confirm the bootloader on the phone to ensure that you flash the same or newer ROM.
Could you list the firmware in order from oldest to newest for me please? I'm having trouble finding a list... Man it sucks trying to catch up on a phone from so far behind.

the phone is on oc2 right now.. 100% stock. im having trouble locating oc2 odin tars and pit. did they ever get pulled? and if not what baseband\ tar would be safe to flash to?
You may be able to flash This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117

do i need to include the pit? i thought i read somewhere not to include pit on the 32gb model. that may have been in the international forums though.
A pit file is only needed if Odin can't read the partition information.
There is only one version of the att note 3.
Thank you very much. Everything went smooth. I did the 4 file flash method as what I read seemed to point to that being the best method. The phone works great again.
