Could some kind person possibly back up and upload their stock rooted Rogers ROM and the CIQ-free rogers kernel in a CWM flashable format? I'm having some issues with a custom ROM, and I don't actually own a Windows PC to use ODIN to flash back to the the rooted rogers rom in the 'How to root your captivate glide' thread, so I'd really like to be able to use CWM to get back to stock to see if the issue is my phone, my kernel, or the rom.
Edit: I tried Heimdall, but it just constantly 'Fails to initialise protocol!' on me, so that's a no go.

i second this request, im fortunate to have odin to flash the rooted stock rom CarpeNoctum provided but a CWM-Recovery version so we can do this on the fly
Hey fellas just moved to this section from the Inc s since I sold that phone and what a nice phone it was.So I got the Samsung glide and thanks to all the people here I rooted and installed the cwm and now I am ready to get my hands on a nice custom rom.
So now I am gonna backup my Rogers Samsung glide and upload it somewhere for the peeps above who where requesting it.
So keep an eye om this post for the download links.
Ok so I backed up my stock rooted rom and there is more than on file in there so someone tell me if I should upload all of them or just certain ones.
And also where is better to upload files by the way cause I have not done it in a while.
Cheers!
Edit:
Here is a link to my backed up stock rooted Rogers 2.3.5 rom.

Hi there I have my original 2.3.6 backed up with Rom Manager and It looks like after restore Kias still telling me this device cannot be updated via Kias, and I am thinking this is because of Blaze 4G modem firmware I used to with ICS. Now my question is what RADIO I need to flash the phone with so Kias is okay with updating it.
Thank you very much.
P.S.
I see some posts on this subject yet I see few different one .... so what do I use ?
Make sure you have the stock recovery. If you have that and stock firmware you should be good to go. I THINK the radio shouldnt matter when updating.
sent from my t989. giggitygiggitygiggitygiggity!
Well originally I rooted my device then installed Rom Manager and did backup. So basically it's stock rom + root. And Kias see device and everything yet it saying that It can't update connected device. I am thinking because there is none available or it just can't.
must be on stock ROM before you do any update via Kies. If you are not you would brick the device while updating
I suppose I should know this, but I don't
I had root with 4.1.2, and updated to 4.2.2 leaked FW - I knew I would loose root, but I thought I could re-root but that does not seem to be the case. Is this so?
If I want to go back to 4.1.2, how do I do this becauseI don't seem to be able to get into TWRP recovery. I thought this was supposed to stay on after upgrading?
why dont u just flash stock 4.1.2 rom via odin for revert?
Good idea, thanks. I was just thinking that myself. Getting the file from sammobile (uk version)
Will it be obvious where each file should go in Odin, will there be three files to select (pda, csc and modem, or just PDA?)
Are there any instructions on XDA?
EDIT
I managed to do it, got into a boot loop though, but was able to restore
ok im used to my htc m8..so i need to be reminded few things..for instance with the m8 updateing firmware is very easy and they have options to keep root and custom recovery and custom rom,only updateing some paritions not all of them..they post modified zip to flash ...my question is does someone have a zip to flash to update firmware to the ne6 on tmobile note 3 ,one that wont include stock recovery ,one i can flash and keep my custom rom and twrp..ive read the usefull thread where member posted several paritions of the NE6 firmware..but im not used to that..am i pose to flash every file he posted serpertly?..not all of them was a zip...one i think was a bin file..isnt odin the only tool we can use with samsung to flash,heard of one more started with an H im sorry cant remember the name..can someone plz fill in the blanks id be gratefull ..from there i would be able to figure the rest out..thank you

I really doubt that there is anything like you have described for
the Note 3 device, if there was you would have already found it.
Why not simply do it like everyone else and odin flash the
latest Note 3 N900T official stock firmware and then root
the phone and flash twrp recovery.
Once that's done you will be able to flash any of the current
custom roms available in this forum without any issues.
Good luck!

Hi all, I have an SGH-i747 with ver 4.0.4 which has been rooted. I will like to update my version systematically with the original updates i believe there where from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 then 4.1.2. then 4.3, 4.4.2 etcc.. its there a place where i can find the original ups, my phone will not take the original firmware updates on its own. Reason is once i try to flash any ROM pass 4.1.1 i loose the Mobile Data getting the no sim inserted msg and no signal, forcing me to go back the original state in order to work. seems there is a problem with the modem once i go pass 4.1.1. .. thank you.
What bootloader version is on the phone? Where did you get the firmware to flash? You're using desktop Odin to flash?
Are ota updates an option for you? If they are you can unroot and flash the stock recovery; it might be easiest just to Odin back to stock.
Otherwise enewman has posted firmware updates to xda. They are bootloader + modem zips you can flash in custom recovery. You have to flash them incrementally, mjb then ne4 then nj1. Search the forum here and you'll find them. Just be careful and read read read those threads. Messing with bootloaders is the best way to hard brick this phone.
I'm in a similar situation - I've been on a custom version of the Stock ROM for 4.1.2 - never bothered to update the bootloader because I had the soft unlock done, didn't want to lose it. Now I'm bored with it. I'd love to get up to 4.4, or even a 5.0 ROM... but not sure the steps needed to do so. I'm vaguely aware that I have to update the bootloader/kernel, etc... but it seems like I'm 4 years behind the curve with all the ROMs and threads about bootloaders, and I've lost my touch.
That thread with the list of bootloaders sounds good though, I'll go looking for it to start I guess.

Here you go. This TLDR post has all enewman's firmware update threads linked to it.

Thanks! I'll give it a look, down a couple of shots of liquid courage, and give it a go this weekend.
EDIT: Yikes, didn't take long for that to fizzle out. I'm using a i747M. Noticed that my current baseband version isn't listed anywhere on that thread. Hmmm. Oh well, guess I'll do some more digging later...
With an i747m, you can flash the latest 4.4.2 using firmware from sammobile.com and desktop Odin.
Do I need to do them in sequence, or can I jump to the latest? I'm assuming once I've flashed the stock firmware, I can load any current custom ROM?
@gfinockio, is your phone sim unlocked? If not and you don't see any mention of the warranty bit in download mode, you could flash back to stock 4.1.1, use the free method to sim unlock, and then run OTA updates until you are running the latest ROM. OTA updates are the safest route to upgrade the phone.
If you phone is sim unlocked already, you could flash directly to the latest ROM; however, you will not be able to downgrade the bootloader as any attempts to downgrade the bootloader could hard brick you phone.

I used the "free unlock" in 4.1.2 (so it's unlocked) but I thought when you upgraded the bootloader you lost that lock. Now that I believe that isn't the case (and I've used a different tool to unlock as well), I may just try the OTA updates. I was with MTS (Manitoba), but now I'm with Rogers, so I guess I would just use the Rogers OTA images to upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.4? Do I use Odin or whatever to do that? Once I upgrade to a "stock" image, won't the updater just prompt me to upgrade again and again until I'm "up to date"?
Unlocking the phone via code or the free method is permanent even after upgrading the ROM, bootloader, and modem.
The carrier ROMs for the i747m are pretty much identical but I always recommend sticking with the original carrier's ROM. If you download the stock image from sammobile.com, use Odin to flash the ROM.
OTA updates will not work with a rooted stock ROM too.
When i search for the stock firmware on sammobile for the i747m, it doesn't have any listings. Are you able to find it on there? I don't see it.
Search for the sgh-i747m.
