Hello All
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my P9, but have recentley seen an OTA come through to turn my current version to B160.
I understand that I need to flash a stock Rom in it's entirety (re-lock BL and lose root) before I can proceed with the OTA?
The issue I have now is that my current build number does not appear to be available anywhere as a stock rom. I am in the UK and with the 'Three' network.
If anyone can point me to the stock ROM for my build or can recommend another stock Rom to flash that will work without issues, I'd very much appreciate it? :good:

Hey guys,
Looking for a bit of help with unrooting my S4 Active and pretty much reverting it back to out of the box if it is possible.
I got my Active rooted about a year ago. I did it without much knowledge on how rooting and install custom firmware works, but amazingly I somehow got it done. But now I've have got to the point where I no longer need it rooted or running custom firmware and would like to return it to an out of the box state like when I first bought it.
Here is a bit of information about my device:
Model: GT-I9295
Version: 4.2.2
BB: XXAMF7
I'm not really sure on how I rooted it in the first place as it has been a while, but I do remember using ODIN and possible CWM, if that makes any difference. I'm looking to revert it back to 4.2.2 official so I can use the OTA update feature to keep my phone up to date and so on.
If anyone is able to help me, or point me in the direction of a good tutorial on unrooting and installing official firmware that would be great.
Thanks

Hi
One of the safiest way to unroot you device is to back up your phone then flash a stock firmware 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 available on sammobile.com and flash it with odin. You will automatically go back to stock firmware and it will be same as it was out of the box.

Thank you for the help.
I managed to find a stock 4.2.2 firmware on sammobile.com for my phone and country, but it seems like samsung haven't pushed out a 4.4.2 version for Australia yet.
There is a 4.4.2 version for New Zealand though, which is basically just next door to Australia. So I found that quite odd.
Do you know if there is anyway to flash an official 4.4.2 firmware to an Australian device?
Thanks again.

The country on the firmware doesn't mind because even you choose let say netherland versions it will work find as example for me I flashed singapire version on my s4 active while I'm in Mauritius and it work fine... you may choose any of it to install
Sent from my SM-T210 using xda premium
It doesn't matter which country firmware do you get. The country is there only for OTA updates. So if you flash a Netherlands stock ROM then you will get the next OTA update when Netherlands gets it. Otherwise other country.
Just flash the stock ROM with odin on your phone and it will be unrooted, removed the custom recovery and all back to stock.
Good day to you.
I recently purchased the G920t factory unlocked version on Amazon. I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. I was hoping that someone could help me out with finding the stock firmware for the factory unlocked variant. I believe it is slightly different from the standard T-mobile firmware, as it didn't include any t-mobile apps, etc. The reason I was asking is I've been having call quality issues and wanted to flash back to stock to see if it would be resolved, but didn't want to flash to the standard t-mobile stock as I believe it is slightly different. I know I should have made a back up before flashing a custom ROM but I failed to do so and am now trying to fix the issue afterwards.
Thank you so much for any help you can offer.
What firmware was on it originally? What baseband?
My USA factory unlocked 920T shows a baseband of G920TUEU3COK1 after the latest OTA update was installed. XDA rules don't allow me to post links to SamMobile firmwares. You can search their site for "920T", but don't used the "SM-G920T1" search result. The proper firmware has "Cellular South" as the Country/Carrier.
Thank you so, so much. So that'll allow me to roll it back to the way it was right out of the box?

yes, but I don't think it'll reset the knox counter to zero.
Hi,
I've just bought another Z2 pro and have been trying to update it the latest MM version which I believe is 2.3.044 but can not find the update option in the settings.
It is still on stock with with locked bootloader.I want to update before unlocking the bootloader then on to Lineage 13.
The current ROM version is 2.1.120 with November Security patch.
Edit:
I used the SD update method but it half bricked the phone.
Then used the QPST/QFIL one.Flashed the 2.1 stock rom.Once rebooted the Update option was there. Without the need for VPN it OTA updated to 2.3...
Big thanks to this guy.

Hello
I just bought the z2 Pro and same issue, no update in the settings. I followed your steps but wondering. Is the 2.1 you downloaded international? Do you have Google apps in it? I don't want to root, just want an updatable official international rom...
Thanks!
As far as I know non of "store"multilanguage roms have an update option. In order to get it you have to flash stock (1.9) one and follows OTAs from there.
Hi I have a xt1803 G5S Plus, retgb and have recently unlocked bootloader and rooted my stock ROM which is NPSS26.116-26-14.
I have noticed there are higher version numbers available like NPS26.116-61. How do I go about having the latest stock ROM with twrp and root access? I'm guessing the stock ROMs are not flashable via twrp. Would I have to flash the latest stock ROM via ADB like it explained here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...lash-official-firmware-moto-g5s-plus-t3681018
and then unlock bootloader again, flash twrp etc like starting from scratch?
I honestly would not recommend flashing NPS26.116-61 to your device. Despite the version number being higher, that firmware is actually for a different region (I think NPS26.116-61 series firmwares are for India and Indonesia, whereas the NPS26.116-26 series is for EU/UK). If you flash that, you may find yourself ineligible for OTA updates at all, since your build does not match that expected by the stock OTA servers, and if there are incompatibilities between the firmwares - since they are for different regions - you may have issues with IMEI/SIM access.
If you wanted to update though, you'd have to follow the steps in that guide. Though I don't have a G5S Plus, you would have to remove TWRP/root through a stock ROM flash (no need to re-lock bootloader), then update via OTA, then flash TWRP and re-root. If you can find a stock ROM with the same firmware build as you have now, you may be able to preserve your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command from the stock ROM flash commands, but I would recommend you have a backup (e.g. TWRP backup) before flashing anything.
There's a copy of the NPSS26.116-26-18 stock ROM (June 2018 stock ROM) here, flash at your own risk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77025728&postcount=507 This build was released as an OTA update to retgb devices as reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoG/comments/8w0c0c/june_patch_now_available_on_retgb/
Hello everyone, I just want to ask. I've Xperia XZ2, it's AU Model (SOV37), using Global Firmware (H8216).
I want to flash back into it's original firmware in order to use the NFC.
I already download the Japan Firmware (SOV37_KDDI JP_52.0.C.5.295-R13B), but I'm afraid that it will sim-locked if I flash it.
I'm also afraid that since this device wasn't able to unlock the bootloader (since the Bootloader Unlocked Allowed: No), can I still flash the firmware?
Can anyone show to me step by step how to flash the firmware (Not flash the STOCK ROM)?
Thanks in advance.
as long as you delete all the .TA files there shouldn't be any problem, though the latest japan firmware available is android 9
not sure what you mean by firmware though, since technically what you trying to do is flashing a firmware as in stock rom
