the tittle says it all. i want to go stock to take it back to sprint. b/c my phone is defected. my phone cant tell when its connectedto my computer.. it just keeps charging and never gives me an option to use the usb mas storage. yeah i tried changing cables, using different computers, disable usb debugging, tried different roms, tried going to recovery and mounting my storage. nothing works.. my phone works perfectly with a custom rom. however, I cant connect to my computer.. my phone is not bricked it just wont connect to my computer. so im trying to go back fuclly stock with out using ODIN.. (FORUM PLZ HELP)
Not sure why you have 2 threads about the same thing.. but anyways..
You might want to try out Mobile Odin
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
It's $3.99, but well worth it.. I think anyone messing with custom ROMs and rooting their phones should have this just in case.
I'd actually like a youtube tutorial on this same process. Mobile odin confuses me a bit after using pc odin for years on my vibrant.

Not meaning to be a smart butt here but I must ask:
Do you have Kies installed on your pc?
Kies installs the proper drivers so your pc and phone communicate. Just saying....

You should have AP selected. If not switch it to AP and see if that works.

You can technically create an update script to flash via CWM and flash everything but the bootloaders...
there are some more advanced ways to flash bootloaders manually.. but I wouldn't recommend it unless you REALLY know what you're doing.. You can brick your phone, so it's not even worth it. I'm not sure they can even see the bootloader version anyhow, so it doesn't really matter.
Flash a stock rom without root, flash a stock kernel, wipe data and everything to factory default and reboot.

You don't need root access to flash the kernel, since you would still be on custom recovery. So yeah flash a stock unrooted rom, then proceed to flash a stock kernel with stock recovery.

Or if for some strange reason it doesn't work in that order just flash the stock kernel first (it won't change until you reboot) then flash the stock rom without root.

So the only close enough to stock rom that i found is this one should i use this one ????? damme this is a headache http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415924
You could also use terminal emulator on the phone and run the script from sfhub thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728) to install stock EG30+stock recovery, and run unroot script straight from the phone. Then just use file explorer to delete the 000root directory.
Since your phone wont recognize the computer you can always copy the files over by using a sd card reader.
So i went to the sprint store...and i told the tech support guy that my phone was not connecting to my computer and he took a quick look at my phone and said did you rooted??? and i frozed and he continued, if you rooted your phone then thats the problem. i told him that it was more of a hardware issue not a software...he wasnt even paying attention to me.. he just said stop messing with the phones if u dont know how to how to fix them.. i was so madd i felt like throwing him my phone at his face.. but then i thought to my self.. my phone is not messed up.. it just doesnt recognize my phone.. plus i got the XDA community..

Wow... i just even did a dial code hard reset of the phone and i'm still having the same issue --- ughhhhhh frustrating
Just take your phone into sprint with it rooted. The first thing they will do is return it to full stock to see if that solves the problem. Sprint's policy is to service all phones rooted or not. Just expect it unrooted when they hand it back.

I'm having an issue with my t989 that has persisted since I stopped using Kang's ROMs and the Bullet Kernel.
After going from the Juggernaut ROM to Darkside's ICS when it came out, my phone started to not be recognized by any computer, be it OSX or Windows. I've tried everything on the PC software side, from clearing Kies and the Samsung Drivers, as well as clearing registry information and re-installing both separately, and this has not helped at all. The windows error is:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I don't use antivirus, and I don't use a firewall, suffice to say I'm a programmer and have plenty of experience in doodling with phones, and I'm stumped. I've come to the conclusion that the Bullet Kernel installed from my Juggernaut days is the cause of the issue, as I repeated the process on a friend's device and he has the exact same symptoms.
With this situation, I'm not able to access ODIN to return to complete stock, so I can't flash over the Bullet Kernel. Alongside the USB device not recognized problem, I also was not able to get into ODIN / download mode until I made my own USB Jig to get around it.
Is there any way to get back to the stock kernel without ODIN? Would Mobile Odin Pro work if Chainfire added support for our device? It's really pissing me off as I'm a software developer and can't use my own device to build to.
EDIT: As a note, when moving from Juggernaut / Bullet to Darkside, I flashed the appropriate ICS radio and kernel, but when returning to 2.3.5 stock from Samsung, somehow the Bullet kernel managed to persist.
edit: nvm you answered my question.
Im not aware of a way to unroot without Odin Can you get into recovery?
Hey, not sure if this will help, but there's links to flashable stock zips in this thread:

There is still a way to get back to the Stock ROM ( 2.3.5 ) and Recovery, but the kernel flash was not included with the package:
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
This is apparently the "Zedomax" unroot that does not need the ability to hook up to Odin, so needless to say, it's not unrooting that I need, it's getting back to the stock kernel that is the problem.
Obviously now that I'm unrooted, there really isn't a way for me to install Mobile Odin Pro even if I had it. I've been looking how to contact him to request it, because I don't want to be rude and PM him the request when I'm sure that's not the way that respected XDA members would want.
Can I ask why you think the kernel alone isn't being overwritten? That seems odd to me, since every ROM packs its own kernel, and flashing a kernel specifically only replaces the kernel. So if you flash an ICS ROM you're getting an ICS kernel, GB you get a GB kernel, etc. It wouldn't work otherwise. If you haven't done it already, you might want to try Darkside super and cache wipes.

Well, for one, I get a Bullet loading screen... Apparently reading through other threads, it's a known issue that Zedomax's Stock ROM method doesn't include the kernel, which basically means I may have f'ed myself permanently seeing as how I can't get ODIN access. Unfortunately, galaxys2root.com didn't tell people on their site that it didn't include the kernel, so needless to say, I'm never going to that site again and I would advise people not to follow any of their stuff either.
Although it's a small omission, their lack of providing information has just caused me to possibly lose a moddable phone.
EDIT: the threads that I've been reading through are the ones you supplied, RTFOP
So can you not get into download mode or get your computer to recognize your phone in recovery? If you're willing to tinker some you can back track and root and reinstall and overwrite that kernel and then circle back.

Well, to re-hash over what I've said already for clarification's sake:
1. I can get into download / ODIN mode
2. I still CANNOT get my phone to recognize in recovery. I know it's not my PCs, it's the phone, and I suspect the Bullet Kernel as it was not reverted back to the stock kernel when I flash Zedomax.
With that said, I don't see how it's possible for me to root and get CWM seeing as how I'm on stock Recovery (3e), and I can't ODIN. Unless there is a untethered way to root the t989, I think i'm up ****'s creek.
At what point did you lose root access though?

The whole point of flashing Zedomax's .zip is to unroot and go back to stock Samsung 2.3.5.
Just to verify, I downloaded root checker and it states I do not have root access.
So if you can get into Odin with your jig workaround, why can't you load a custom recovery and super user and then run Darkside wipes and install whatever ROM you want?

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding between you and I. When I say I can get into download / Odin MODE, that means I can force the phone itself into ODIN Mode, but since my computer does not recognize my t989, the ODIN application on my windows box does not recognize the phone, and the ID box does not 'turn yellow' as it should if my phone were recognized by my PC.
So even though my phone is waiting for the ODIN application on my windows to send it commands, I can't send it commands because the application won't recognize the phone.
Thus is my quandary.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't get that. Have you tried plugging it in without the sd card in? It's kind of a long shot, but errors on there might be keeping your computer from communicating with the device, since it seems to be working otherwise. Maybe the jtag repair service through mobile tech videos?

As you suggested, I tried taking out the SD card and that didn't help.
I'm trying to do as much as possible before I try and repair it. I may consider trying for a warranty replacement and take the risk, but I'd like to try everything I can before I take that step, I don't like not being able to fix something =p.
Thanks for the help btw.

Hello
I have a little big problem with my Gio. Yesterday, accidentally i tripped over the USB cord, that was connected to teh PC and the phone, and i think e may have busted the USB port on the phone. Now it doesn't recognize the phone (it says "USB device not recognized"). I've tried installing a number of drivers, and it simply refuses to connect. Also i think it's not charging properly.
The problem is, the waranty is void without the stock rom, but to flash the stock rom i need odin, and odin is only by usb...
My question here is, can't this be done with the recovery menu, i mean, backup the stock rom from another gio, and then use that backup on my phone?
Thanks
EDIT: SOLVED

Well, i think it's possible to go back to stock with flashable zips, look around on the forums abit you should find some.
Also make sure you go back to stock recovery (somehow) and unroot.

The recovery i know i can flash, because i did it once, the only big problem is really the firmware. i can't seem to find it anywhere.
Ya if u cant find a flashable one then look on the samsung firmware sites like sammobile.com and find a firmware with your baseband.
And with a bit of luck you may find someone wanting to help you and turn it into a flashable zip. (I would do it but i have no idea how to even start on that)
You could do it yourself but 1 mistake and your pphone is hardbricked, and not booting + a broken plug will look quite suspicious at the service centre.
Good luck

You just need a custom recovery, which on this phone comes with a kernel.. In the ROM thread you intend to flash. It will tell you the recovery that the ROM should be flashed from...and it will say the kernel that is advised to run with the ROM. Most ROMs come with a custom kernel. Read the OP..or you are going to be the owner of a new shiny coaster.. I personally use the EL29 direct boot kernel to flash ROMs. If you need a how to you can ask and I'll walk you through it..

Hello all
I unfortunately had to get a replacement for my S3 because the charging port got screwed up.
I tried to root the phone by installing CWM and it seemed to go fine. I did this with Odin using qbking77's methods and files.
I went to look for my zip file to flash and I could find no zip files at all.
It kept saying that E won't mount and stuff like that.
I had a stock recovery tar file for my GalaxyS3 from qbking77 that I used before to get to stock recovery for updates
I flashed it with odin and it said it flashed fine.
Phone seems to be working fine.
I went back to make sure it was there and it showed the little android guy with his heart spinning and then turning red and he died!
Several error messages came up in red.
Anyone ever hear about this and what did I do wrong?
I am sure I used the files I have used for my Galaxy before.
The phone still works so far thankfully!
Any advise and help would be appreciated.

Yes you can still use these Recoveries. I doubt you " fried " your device. Use these Recoveries in the Root process where you would use the older ones. Yes you can Revert them Back.
Then how can I revert back to get over the air updates? The stock recovery that I flashed showed the little Android guy had died..
