PA is OK, but the updates are so far behind the nightly updates or even cm9 official updates its frustrating. To be honest I'm running Anidroid v7 the guy has done wonders.
I do like the pa hybrid stuff , but most of the time being an old git I can't read the screen

Install Stock Rom

Hello, since I don't really like my custom rom (remics 1.4) I would like to install back my stock rom (normally the latest gingerbread since I couldn't do any update). But on sammobile I can't find any roms for my country, I'm from belgium. My phone isn't simlocked, I don't know if it has any use to know that?

Btw, my phone is a galaxy s plus (GT-i9001)
Sorry for the double post

Here is a collection of an official Samsung released Roms:
Tutorial how to flash them HERE.

Thanks man, that's really helpful. So I can flash any of those roms without worying about being belgian or anything?
Should i format my phone before flashing those roms?

From my experience you should do a wipe/factory reset before Odin the stock Rom.
I have Odin a stock Rom without wipe and it didn't boot so I cf-root, wipe from recovery and booted.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Ok, so if I understand i should do : Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and hop, I turn off my phone, go into download mode and flash the stock rom immediatly?

Exactly!:laugh:

Thanks man, you're a beast, really fast answer
sorry to bother you a bit more, but I prefer to be cautious with all of this, these roms, more precisely the XXKPU one (last in the list) is I think from poland? Does it have any importance? Since I am belgian, i need the french language haha

Oi, guys, I really need help please!! I did wipe data/factory reset in clockworkmod, then i closed my phone and flashed the stock rom (XXKPU) with Odin. But now my phone isn't booting! Or more precisely, It's just the sequence with the "S" appearing that comes over and over again!! What did I do wrong and what can I do please??

Boot into cwm and either wipe data again or your are going to have to flash the stock again. I have had to do that in the past
Sent From My YP-G1 running ICS build 3.5

I tried booting in cwm but I can't, failed like 5 times. A few tries, I got an android robot with some sort of opened box next to him.

Thanks for the explanation you guys i Will do it tommorrow you Will hear it If it works or not

bad news
well i did all three but it didnt work the samsung logo now turns red and dissapears and when i tried to install rom
but guys i think i screwed it up because somehw i lst my backup and i can only go to recovery mode and download mode
and i think the usb is not on debugging mode and is it still possible to fix the phone even if i can only use recovery mode

[Q] Wiped /system, can't recover

I was attempting to install the SlimKat ROM, and I followed the directions by going into CWM and doing a factory reset, wiping the cache, and formatting /system. When I tried to install the ROM, though, it told me that the file was bad. Now I can't boot back into the OS! It just stops at the T-Mobile splash screen. I can still get to CWM, but I have no idea where to go from there. I tried to recover from a previous backup, but it gives me "Error while restoring /system!"
How can I get my recoveries to work?

Just to confirm:
You do have the model Exhibit T679, correct?
What version of CWM did you flash?
The way I've been flashing ROMs:
Boot into CWM
Go to mounts and storage
format /system
format /cache
format /data
Go back to first CWM screen
Go to advanced
wipe dalvik cache
Go back to first CWM screen
Choose install zip
choose zip from the location you placed the ROM
To restore your backup:
Do steps 1-5 from above
6. Go to backup and restore
7. restore from the location you saved the backup

Yes, it is a T679. My version of CWM is 6.0.5.0.
So, I solved the original problem, and now I have a new one... What I found was that I was able to install one of the other ROMs (Mahdi) from my external SD card. Then, I took a look at the SlimKat zip on my computer. As I suspected, the file was corrupted. (The MD5 hash didn't match.) So, I downloaded a new copy, verified the hash, and then tried again. This time, it worked! Everything seems to have installed okay, and I am loving SlimKat so far. Except for one thing... Somehow, I unrooted my device! Titanium Backup doesn't work anymore, and it was telling me it couldn't get root. So I installed Root Checker, and sure enough, I don't have root anymore! I downloaded root-stock.zip and tried flashing it, and that didn't work. Well, I guess it wouldn't, since I don't have a stock ROM anymore?
I'm sure I could flash a stock ROM, and then root that, but then I would want to go back to SlimKat, and I'm afraid I'd just wind up un-rooting it again.

That's what I'm going to try next. I haven't been able to find a source for the su binary yet, though. Just a lot of stuff for SuperSu, which requires you to already be rooted. I'm gonna try to get some sleep and look some more tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Ok, that ROM seems to have Superuser built in already, do you see a menu item for it when you go into Settings? The instructions seem to note that you have to go into Superuser and check a couple boxes.
Maybe it was a bad install, try formatting the necessary partitions and reflash again. Then go into Superuser and select the appropriate options.
Sometimes I also format sdcard0 after all the other formatting just to be extra thorough then install new ROM per instructions:
jfbs said:
Installation
Install at your own risk
- First time flashing CM11 to your Galaxy Exhibit (or coming from another ROM)?
Boot into existing recovery and create a Nandroid Backup!
Install at least ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.5 or TWRP 2.6.3.0
Reboot recovery into at least ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.5 or TWRP 2.6.3.0
CWM: WIPE dalvik-cache, format: data, system, and cache. TWRP: WIPE dalvik-cache, data, system, and cache.
** Optionally back-up sdcard0 before install and format it in recovery if experiencing install issues **
Install the ROM (without gapps)
Reboot system
After system boots, boot back into recovery and install KK Google Apps.
Wipe dalvik-cache and cache. Reboot.

T813 Tab S2 - Back to Stock

Hi there,
I want to give my S2 away as a present to a family member. So I downloaded the latest version (T813XXS2BRF2_T813XAR2BRF2_XAR) and flashed it with Odin. Everything got an OK and PASS, but when I start it up it gets to the Samsung logo and that's it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
MJH

Hi,
I recommand you to install last TWRP recovery 3.3.0-0 and follow "How to return to full stock" in my thread : Thread
If you never used Samsung Find My Mobile you are fine (If you used it need to remove all settings in it). Hope it will help.
Cheers.

I'll give it a try. Thanks!
Edit: Your TWRP 3.3.0 link doesn't show a T813 version. What version do you want me to use?

I had a similar issue after you flash the stock ROM and it hangs, turn it off and boot back into recovery, most likely it will be stock. From there do a wipe/reset and reboot & let it sit for a while, hopefully, it will bring up the startup screen.

I just get a blue screen with Error on it, like there is nothing installed.
I just try to reflash or reflash TWRP and install a costume ROM again.
