[ROM] Samsung stock D720 for Nexus S 4G

This is for CDMA Sprint Nexus S 4G only!!!!
This will reload your NS4G back to its original state from the factory. This will take away root and erase ALL data.
This would be helpful if you phone won't boot or need to return it back to Sprint. This will take it back to stock.
Instructions:
Extract the zip file to your computer and then run setup.exe.
SamsungSimpleDL_D720(1.0.002).zip
Mirror

about to test now...my **** is totally jacked.

Awesome, thanks for this

It worked for me.

Will it work on I9020 ? I just flash it like any other ROM, right?

oK guys, this is not a flashable zip. You extract it to the computer and run the setup.exe inside the zip file.

correct it has teh stock files in it, its a front end for odin.

No OSX version?

downloading this bad boy now hehe

Thank you the safety net is under me now I'm going to jump!

I am running this from Windows7. Do I need anything else? the interface keeps giving me an error when I press the download button. I have rebooted the computer and made sure no adb.exe files were running in windows. I have shut off my antivirus as well just in case.
Edit: Redid all the steps again. Shut down the Microsoft security client. and it is working fine now. I also copied the Samsung folder from Program Files X86 to Program Files X64 just in case it needed to be in both spots. I am running W7 X64. I remember the HTC drivers needed to be in both spots to operate correctly.
Edit:Edit - You will also have to reactivate the phone when the install is complete. Hope they dont charge me another activation fee.

Can be used in Odin
Also found out that you can use Odin to flash this. Inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade for SPH-D720\Binary there is a tar file called SPH-D720_GRJ22_PDA.tar. You can put this into the PDA section in Odin and flash the ROM.

OTA broke root procedure?

I've been trying to root my TMo GS3 since about 445am this morning. I can get into download mode, I can flash the .TAR. Phone reboots fine, When I reboot into recovery, I get the stock recovery every time. I've tried a few different versions of CWM and TW and I get the same thing every time, Nothing. I bought this phone used, 2 weeks old, and it has 4.04 on it. Anybody have any insight for me? This is not my first time tinkering either. I've been here since the Sprint Mogul, and I can usually get it figured out. But this time, I'm stumped. Any help?
ADDED: I've also tried "Flashed with ODIN agian, latest CWM Touch 6.0.1.2, deselected AUTO REBOOT and F. Reset TIme, waited for it to PASS installation, pulled battery " and it still DID NOT WORK. Got that from here http://androidandme.com/thread/att-galaxy-s3-wont-boot-into-clockworkmod-recovery/

no problem just odin it with auto reboot on

all you guys posting to move thread or close thread you know xda has a "report button" that works faster?

Strange but are you using the right usb cable? I had similar issue with odin not pushing through with root cause I was using my galaxy s2 cable. I switched it to my s3 cable and odin pushed through and have root from stock

UPDATE...I used this method and it worked
I think those are for the original build LE6 though.
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

Can i flash the tmobile stock on metropcs s4?

Can i flash the tmobile stock odin file on the metro pcs s4? I've read conflicting claims. Some say it works and some say it wont. Just need to clarify before i do it!

Not sure about that. There will be kernel differences and such. Can you tell us why you want to ODIN flash the stock FW instead of flashing a flashable stock FW through recovery?

Thanks for your reply man. the reason why is because i'm stuck at the upgrade encountered an issue screen and can only enter download mode. I've tried downloading the unofficial stock metro file but it fails to download everytime. I've only been able to download the stock tmobile.

Go into Settings, the More tab, About Device, then click Status. Scroll all the way down and you'll see your Serial #. Hopefully Kies accepts this one.

Alright. Try this even if you have tried it before:
1) Download this unofficial M919N stock rom since an official one doesn't exist as far as I'm aware.
2) Press the Volume Down + Home + Power button until you get into Download mode. Press up to continue. You will now be in download mode.
3) Open up Odin, select PDA, select the file you downloaded in step 1.
4) Make sure Auto-Reboot is the only thing that is checked.
5) Press Start.
6) Wait for it to finish and you should be able to access your phone. Then go into Settings, the More tab, About Device, then click Status. Scroll all the way down and copy your Serial #.
7) Open up Kies and see if it lets you upgrade your FW to the official M919N MetroPCS one.
Let me know how it goes.

[Q] Cwm recovery problem

First, forgive me if this question has already been asked/answered, I can't seem to find it.
Anyway, I recently flashed a version of cwm recovery on my friends phone, using an update. zip from stock recovery. Now, whenever I try to boot into recovery, I see the cwm logo for an instant, and then the screen starts flashing different shades of black, grey and white, an it stays like that until I turn off the phone with a long press on the power button. I can boot into download mode, and the phone works fine, but I can't get into recovery, which I need to flash a new rom. Since the phone dosent belong to me, I'm really anxious to fix this quickly. Please help!

thanks, but these links dont really help me, as im using a school computer, with internet filters that won't let me download form those links. sites that are allowed on this filter are: Goo.im, dropbox, copy.com, or google drive.
i suggest using Copy, just because its verty easy to use, and if you dont have an account yet, you can sign up using this link: https://copy.com?r=1txCqp
and we both get an extra 5gb of free space, which helps me a lot!
or maybe you can just help me get past the filter

Please help me! Phone wont boot up and restoring in twrp fails

I was trying to install viper4android and it got out of hand. i decided to factory reset then restore a backup i had made earlier, when i try to do this it says it failed and then It asks me if i want to install supersu but i already have it installed so i put no. Also when i try to reboot it says Set Warranty Bit: kernel on the top right. What can i do? everytime i try to reboot it gets stuck there. Also on a possibly unrelated note the backup was compressed when i made it, do i need to decompress the file?

Get into download mode and use odin. You will be fine.

Thanks guys, this is my first Samsung phone it is very different from htc phones. So once the file is done downloading do i put the file in the AP slot and flash via odin?

Also will i need root again?

Yes, you will need to root again. Once you flash, you will be back stock as if you just got from store.

Should be good to go. Just put in download mode (as looneytunes said earlier), connect device as well as inserting tar file in correct slot. Should work just fine. Please post back with results. Just want to make sure your good.

It's kinda really hard to permanently brick these phones. As long as you can get to download mode you can usually get back with odin.
