how does your topic title relate to your question?
but the only way a hard reset wont go back to stock is if you put a diff rom on there,so just flash a stock rom back
what rom are you using to flash with odin?

LOL as long as it is a brotherly love we are good.
Will this have the stock kernel in it?
This make take a while longer. I am trying to get this as close to fully stock as possible. It is taking a long time to process. A lot longer than I thought. And I still don't know if it will actually work. Worst case I can make it stock kernel and file system and you do a factory reset on your own.

At the very least you will have to Odin this and do a factory reset. The stock part is working fine. I am trying to include a clean data partition to save a step.

May want to check out gtg465x's Ultimate Unbricks in the Infuse 4G Development section as a reference.
However I think he doesn't nuke data... I've had to do factory resets when Odining my Infuse back to stock. Well I had to do it once... Haven't Odined back to stock in ages and probably never will again at this point.
OK link is up. Do a factory reset to wipe data unless I come up with something different.
Could you also pack this with CWM? Or does it not work with the stock kernel?
So this contains what exactly? Stock kernel and ROM? I'm still a little new to this.
I'm confused. You're instructions seem to match your other thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282418
Specifically the part: 7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)
wtf?
Thanks Crawj! You came through with the Epic and now the touch as well! Yeah!

[Q] Rom Manager

ok so i just rooted my et4g and i installed rom manager, im trying to flash the recovery and it has four options to flash.
none in which say et4g
only
samsung at&t GalaxyS2
samsung GalaxyS i9000
samsung GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)
samsung GalaxyS2
which one is my best bet?
if any of them i think the bottom one is but i was worried that one is for the euro s2?
any help would be greatly appreciated
None of the above.
so what do i do??
i want to flash a rom already! haah
Odin a rooted kernel with clockwork mod (chris41g's lost kernel is what I used), and follow the ROM install instructions from the development section.
and lets just say if i used this vs using that method lol

If you are worried about customization issues or just want to remain stock, I would flash this. It is completely stock with cwm. You can than flash a prerooted rom or su.zip and you are rooted and ready to go.

Need to go back to stock(no odin)

Ok Guys i need a way to go back to stock without odin or heimdal my usb port is out of the equation. Only way to get files onto phone is through my sisters EVO. This needs to be no root no custom rom. I have to take my phone in to sprint cause 1.)the usb port 2.) My touchscreen is useless it doesn't work .
Thanks

Make sure superuser is deleted as well. You will still be stuck on whatever modem you are on. I think if it is not EC05 it will mess up the OTA updates.

MTD? Then you are screwed. You can't get back to stock without Odin or Heimdall. You need to repartition. BUT there is an MTD version of the FB15 leak which should look enough like stock to get you through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522816
That is the best you can do. You should also do the 2 flashable modems to get you to EL30 and delete Superuser before you bring it in.

It depends on how interested the tech is in making sure it is not a software problem. There are a few horror stories about accounts getting flagged but most of the time the techs don't care. Just smile a lot...lol.
thats didnt install either nothin changed !!!!!!!
EDIT: opps needs to be mtd lol my bad

Whatever stock-ish MTD rom you flash, make sure you flash data, (factory reset) if you're returning it, might as well.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
This thread scares the hell out of me. A bad USB port on your epic is a fatal blow to your potential sprint insurance coverage. I cant think of anything worse, especially if your on MTD. Although, if your paying for insurance, i dont think it should really matter what firmware/rom you have on your device.
To the OP, you should be fine. As long as you can make it look at stock as possible, the average sprint employee is not smart enough to get into specifics. They are usually pretty cool about it. As a matter of fact, the tech at my local sprint store put gingerbread on my phone a week before it was released using odin (this was before I knew anything about flashing or rooting), most of the tech's do exactly what we do, so dont sweat it too much.
let me know which rom you put on i'm pretty much in the same boat i need to take my phone in because i'm having hardware failure

The one I posted a few posts back (post 16) by Bbelos is the closest to complete stock for MTD. Just delete superuser when done. Then you are only left with CWM recovery as evidence.

[Q] I THINK I BRICKED MY NOTE 2!? (Chainfire 3D)

HELP!! I think i bricked my AT&T Canadian Note 2 with 16gb rooted with stock rom and stock kernel
SO i was playing dead trigger and wanted to gave tegra 3 optimizations so i downloaded Chainfire 3D from the play store and i installed the drivers and it rebooted my note 2, but it's stuck at the Galaxy Note 2 logo!! I can still use vol up+home+power and vol down+home+power, i tried factory reset in CWM, still stuck, tried flashing new rom (CM, AOKP) still stuck, so now i just want my phone back up and running again. Anyone know how to fix it problem? I don't need any apps or data back or root back, just back up and running again. Oh and charging still shows the battery picture, and i can still turn off my phone.
Odin factory stock. Should fix it right up.

There is a guide section in the general and the Development sections. Go by there and have a look. 20 mins or less and you can be up and running stock

Why do so many people on xda have such a hard time understanding what "bricked" means.
If you can easily fix it, then it isn't "bricked"
It's bricked if it has to go for jtag
If you read the description for chainfire 3d, it distinctly says "not compatible with ICS/Jellybean" so theres your problem why u have troubles... a factory reset might not be the fix. ODIN may be the only way.

Yeah it's because they can't get the phone to come back on. So that's why they think it's bricked. Plus it's the only word they know and heard of. There's also soft brick, stuck in a loop, etc. But most of the time when the phone stops working correctly, most thinks it's bricked! Lol

For me, even "soft brick" is a stupid term..
A phone is either bricked or not bricked. If it is bricked, there is no fixing it imo (other than jtag)
Odin will fix this, this happened to my S2 while I'm on JB. Just download the latest odin, and the stock rom of your Note 2, probably you can find the rom on sammobile, google will help you out, PM me if you need any assistance. Just relax, it's not broken.
