how should i back to stock ? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

hello everyone
i have a rooted n960f device with the alexndr ROM , since iwant to sell the device i want to unroot it and back to stock .
unfortunately when i trying to flash the stock with ODIN my device boot up without IMEI.
in order to fix that i need to ROOT the device again install TWRP and than install te ALEXNDR rom again.
these is the only way to get the Signal again .
do you have any idea how i can back my device to stock ?
thanks

guys ?
any idea?
please

You most likely just need to flash the correct firmware for your device and you do know there is no way to make the device stock again after rooting, right?

It's not a matter of you don't tell me, i don't know.!
It's a "matter" that before you root your device, to familiarize yourself, regarding the pro's and cons
of rooting.
To do research and then if you don't understand or want guidance regarding a particular issue /
"problem" then ask.!
Bottom line is....
no use asking afterwards if you didn't do your "homework" before.!
Good luck.

[Q] [URGENT] Odin question (doesnt specify anywhere))

Hey guys ive been trying to get all i need to flash xxjpy firmware just one question?
i saw (by complete accident i might add) a guide to ''how to flash with odin'' and the guy or whatever said i need an unlocked sgs - simlock free phone as it wer, is that true? Mine is a branded vodafone 100% locked on it. Will something unspeakable happen if i try to flash it this way? (Brand new phone so im kinda nervous)
Any help may be exchanged for sexual favors xD
ps: Only hot women are elligible for the above
It's probably safer to unlock your phone before you flash it using ODIN, for obvious reasons..
P.S. I pass on thy offer.
EDIT: To unlock your phone, try this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
So i should unlock then flash with odin......ok
one last questio Is it a permanent unlock or is it more like the iphone ultrasn0w type of deal? which needs to be unlocked everytime you update/restore?
Might be easier just to reg hack kies to get xxjpy?

which rom version are you on now ? you can always get the same version from samfirmware.com(you need to sign up to d/l the firmware) that your currently on.
If you really need to back up your rom then you'll need ROM manager & the phone needs to be rooted as well, the easiest way is to use One click root.
You don't need to have an unlocked/unbranded phone to use odin, you just need to have kies installed for the usb drivers & for kies to be exited whilst using odin.
Here is a pretty good guide for how to use odin, take you time read it throughly, make sure you understand it & remember your doing this at your own risk

I think the best is to make a backup with clockwork or titanium backup first! Chek if you can connect with kies to make a backup on your comp.
After download the firmware and odin,put the phone in download mod and get started on odin. After do a dalvic wipe. And i think you ar good to go! Your phone be normal.
If want to void warranty use triangle ave!!

So you have unlocked a bootloader. Could you please tell me what method did you used to unlocked your bootloader? Did you use FlashTool or the "fastboot" command in adb?
And based on your first post, I have to say that you have lost your DRM keys. Without DRM keys Bravia Engine won't work.

I can't really give a suggestion. "Best ROM" depends on personal preferences. Since I am currently using CM11, I must say it works really great on my device. However, some people face problem with it such as being it laggy and everything. I hope you won't face the same thing.
Actually I have a guide that will solve your problem.
BUT BEFORE THAT please read everything there. Please follow the requirements. You may ignore any bootloader-related points. Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can skip guide number 1, and directly proceed to the section "Fastbooting DoomLord's kernel" in guide number 2. Then proceed normally afterwards. Get a CM M10 snapshot here. Psst, M11 is getting near!
Now you may go to the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/general/guide-flashing-custom-roms-ultimate-xsp-t2888579
in order to downgrade , should i just follow 1b ??

Yes if you want to downgrade you may just and only follow 1b. However needless to say, if your bootloader is unlocked, there's no more need to backup your TA partition

Your problem might have be something to do with APN. Just contact your service provider, and get an internet configuration. That will work for you
In Stock SONY, there is an-already method that will fetch internet config. Sadly there's no such thing in custom ROMs.
Or to make matters difficult, you can find someone with the same service provider like you, open their phone's settings, find "APN" in Mobile Networks, and copy all settings hand-by-hand to your phone.

[Q] Do I need to install a custom Kernel to flash Kitkat?

Recently, I've been looking into flashing a custom recovery and a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy GT I9305. However I'm a little confused. The only experience I ever had with this was when I had my old Xperia Play. With that phone, if I wanted to install a later version of Android, I would first have to flash a new kernel for that version, otherwise I would get stuck in a boot loop. That phone also had a locked bootloader that I had to unlock from the Sony website.
My question is, if I want to install a recovery image and a KitKat ROM onto my S3, will I have to unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernel manually? Whilst it's not in any of the tutorials I've looked at, I'm still a little nervous as I almost bricked my Xperia Play by not flashing the correct kernel to it beforehand.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
I just realised that I should have posted this in the GT I9305 Help board.
Sorry for inconvenience.
Anyone?

No need to flash kernels and bootloaders. You just need to install custom recovery and follow the install steps the dev/ROM your going for has set out.

[Q] Can't boot into TWRP and my phone got unrooted

Hello!
I have a Huawei Mate 9 (MHA-L29C432B190). Yesterday I tried to root my Phone to play Pokemon Go with fake gps. After I managed to root my phone, I couldn't boot into TWRP Recovery Mode anymore.
Because I still had some files I needed to flash I installed Flashfire from the PlayStore. I think after I flashed the newest Magisk version(The flash failed because of Error:1), my device got unrooted. But I think my device is still partly rooted because I can't get into Pokemon Go. Everytime I try to start it I get stuck the loading screen. So right now I can't flash anything to get my root back and I don't have the root to use alternative flash applications. I also tried to start return my phone to stock back with a update.app But it can't be installed. I also can't use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I always get " Writing 'recovery'...FAILED (remote:command can't be used/allowed)". And also after some reboots my oem unlock got turned off and I can't turn it on anymore.
I don't have any ideas anymore what to do. I thought I could root my device, so I could unroot properly with superuser. I tried some other application like KingRoot oder OneClickRoot but both of them don't have a rooting method for the Huawei Mate 9 yet. Btw I don't have a backup because of my naivety.
I hope you guys can help me . I appreciate any ideas
Thanks in advance

Either way I want a method to root my phone without some flash application or I want a way to return my phone to stock. Or a method to fix TWRP would be fine too.

That doesn't tell me anything. That just tells me that you tried flashing.
It doesn't tell me anything about exactly what you tried to flash or what errors you got when you flashed. I need more precise information to help you. Your simple answers aren't helping me understand anything about what you have going on with your device.
What tools have you used? What guide/instructions did you use? What files have you used? What errors did you get? What results did you get. What do mean "didn't work"? "Didn't work" can mean many things.
I might be able to help you fix your device but I can't fix ignorance.

First I tried to do a force upgrade with a "dload" folder with a update.app file on my sdcard . After booting into this upgrade mode by pressing vol up + vol down + power button my device starts to install the stock firmware, but after it reaches 5% I get the message "Error with installing" and a Link to the same site when you boot into twrp. This always happens no matter which file I use. Next I tried to do a normal upgrade by calling this number "*#*#2846579#*#*" (The dload folder is still on my sdcard). But when I start the software upgrade I get booted into twrp and like I said in my post, always when I try to get into twrp I get stuck on the "Your device is booting screen". This is what I tried and basicly every site on google is saying I should try to do one of these two methods

Stock upgrades are not going to work if you are rooted and have TWRP.
Stock updates require stock recovery and an unmodified system partition(no root).
