Back to Stock Rom Without Odin

Hello, this is my first thread here. I want to share my experience using android lol. I'm a noob, so this is maybe for noob too .
If you always changing your rom only to test or whatever, you may have to go back to stock rom via Odin. So, here I will tell you how to go back to stock rom without Odin .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First, you need to be on stock rom, then go to cwm, then backup your fresh stock rom.
Now, try install a custom rom with custom kernel inside it. Then you want to go back to stock rom. Follow this.
Go to your stock rom files (PDA...blabla, MODEM....blabla, CSC....blabla), and open your PDA..blabla using winrar or whatever and extract the boot.img inside it to your sdcard. DON'T PUT IT IN A FOLDER.
Next, you need to download SGYbiCWM.zip below. Then, go into cwm.
1. Wipe data then make sure that system is mounted (look at mount and storage).
2. Install zip from sdcard and choose SGYbiCWM.zip
3. Then go to backup and restore - advanced restore. And restore system, data and cache from your backup of stock rom. (Don't restore your boot.img because you may get failed to restore boot.img of your backup of stock rom.
4. Wipe data again then reboot.
5. If stuck, try reinstalling SGYbiCWM.zip from cwm then reboot.
I'm a noob, so please guide me if I'm wrong. And, sorry for bad English .

does not restore the kernel & init_rd. So SGYbiCWM does it manually.
But remember, under some kernels like MT 2.0 even SGYbiCWM does not work, so to restore a stock kernel under such circumstances you must issue the "dd" command inside SGYbiCWM manually in a root shell, or maybe as a script.
In fact, you may find a root shell script more handy than SGYbiCWM or CWM backup/restore.
instead of restoring cache you may want to wipe it. restoring sd-ext never worked here, so link2sd is problematic.

Yeah, I have tried restoring stock kernel in merruk latest kernel using SGYbiCWM one day and it seems like failed/ makes me bootloop
Sorry for bad english

Hey can I use this to install the new kernel like white kernel without restoring the backup

Guys I installed cyanogenmod 7 (1.8)by whitexp successfully with white kernel 1.0.
Before installing cm7 I backed up my stock rom using cwm.
To install white kernel I used madteams cwm. Now I want to go back to stock rom from phone itself as I don't have a PC right now to use Odin.
I tried to install the stock kernel (boot.img) using sgybicwm.zip but wasn't successful.
And when I try to restore my nandroid backup through advanced restore >>restore system,
It says md5 mismatch...
Please help friends..
EDIT: got back to stock by odin..
I just did a silly thing while using odin..
First I selected all the three files and hit on start.
Everything went fine but there was no progress after that checking and files ok message that comes in left corner message box.
I waited for 10 minutes but no progress was showing on phone also, so I disconnected in between.
Well I was lucky that my phone booted up.
I tried another odin file and it worked.

yes, but maybe you want to install stock kernel (using SGYbiCWM.zip) before installing a custom kernel. then you can use the SGYbiCWM.zip to install a custom kernel in a stock kernel. Just put the custom kernel boot.img on your sdcard (not on a folder).

did you use madteam's cwm? on this method, the cwm used is cwm_bla_bla.zip, so maybe you will try using it

about your problem, the pda or modem file is on your odin flashable files and not on your cwm backup files. You just only take the boot.img from pda files. Then, you flash it manually using SGYbicwm.zip, then restore the backup from cwm. Read the post carefully

ODIN
well, being able to reflash without the help of a PC & ODIN is a huge advantage.
So I believe flashing with SGY only and w/o ODIN is the easiest way to flash. But ODIN has extra capabilities of course.

[HELP] Can't boot to recovery - Stuck from first Boot Screen

Hi Guys,
I don't really know what happened to my Note 2. I'm just browsing photos then suddenly it froze and restarted but it is stuck at the FIRST boot screen:
Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100.
There's 2 boot screen right?
1.) The white text on black background, 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100"
2.) Then the animated Samsung logo.
I'm stuck at the first one.
I tried to access its recovery (press and hold - volume up button, home button, power button). It just boot again to screen 1.
I can only access, Odin mode ( press and hold - volume down button, home button, power button).
I tried to flash it using Odin with official samsung rom, but no good. it still boot and stuck at the first boot screen.
What should I do to have a recovery mode? I don't mind if it's official samsung or a custom one. :crying:
UPDATE:
After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.

Thanks, Tried Stock Recovery... same result.

Go to download mode and flashed CWM first. After flashing CWM wipe dalvik, cache partition & then data reset. U will loose downloaded apps or sms & call logs.
Later flash a new firmware thru pc odin & the phone will start perfectly. Give a try. Hope it works for u. Its a risk but give a try.

I always use odin mobile for flashing zip files or updates kernels etc. Under rom manager I can flash latest cwm recovery but then when I push power button and select reboot into recovery the phone reboots but gets stuck in a bootloop I can then boot into download mode using 3 button combo but thats all I can do. I have to reflash cf_root file which solves the problem and brings the phone back to life.. can anyone shed some light on this issue. Im paranoind about trying to boot into recovery incase it keeps happening as I dont want to have to keep reflashing. This is my current set-up

i have the same problem, do you mind please provide the solution step by step? i'm very fresh in this thing.. thanks!! :crying:

I just had this issue an hour ago. The phone, however, has been acting up for the past month. Random freeze in normal use and esp when browsing the web. I always have to hard reset the phone and it has been working until an hour ago. It was a freeze so i thought oh this BS again, and hard reset the phone. Then, the phone would be only stuck in the white "Samsung" screen... My first priority is keep all the data, so I was wondering after flashing the CWM and wipe the cach and dalvik. Is it necessary to wipe data for this to work? I do not want to lose all the data. The only thing I ask for is to get into system somehow, get all the data i need onto the SD card, and i can do whatever to my phone afterwards...
I think i'm ****ed. In odin it says no PIT partition. I found a lot of others having this issue, and Doctor says that this is called SDS (sudden death syndrome) ... It is a bad day and **** my life.

same but bigger problem ..
Hello.. I have the exact same problem but what happened with my GALAXY NOTE 2 GT-N7100 that I was charging it while suddenly a some writings in french appeared on screen and I could only click on something was written down the screen and I guess it meant to reboot the phone, I unplugged it and pressed that thing down the screen and my phone automatically restarted and froze at the 1st logo screen ( the one with black background and white writings ) .. I plugged it to odin but every time I try 2 flash a custom firmware it fails and says ( re-partition failed ) in odin... Itook it to many ppl and no one could fix it, they told me that it's ( sudden death ) but I dont think so because I think that sudden death happens automatically and the phone doesn't start at all ( mine happened after clicking on that french thing and it's stuck on 1st logo screen ) and they told me that the boot files are damaged and I the only solution is to change the mother board which will cost me about (370 $ here in Syria ).. and I can't access recovery mode to wipe dalvik and cache.. can anyone help me please ? And I couldn't understand maheshhtc way to fix this.. please help me asap...

Please help me too... I'm sorry but trying to flash CWM, I'm getting a No PIT error.... and then it fails right there

[GUIDE]Switch between any roms without flashing stock ....

Well I saw many people complaining that there sgy entered a bootloop after flashing a custom rom
Most of the time this is mainly because u have flashed a rom with different kernal over an existing custom rom .. this results in boot loops. To avoid this some instructions ask u to flash stockrom via Odin first... but then AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
So here is a procedure to install roms like that vithout having to flash stock via odin
Remove and insert battery
Boot to recovery (volume up+power+home)
Clear data and cash in stock recovery
Flash cwm
In cwm go to mounts and storage
There format system and cash and data (do not format SD)
Go back and clear data and cash in cwm (just in case)
Go to mounts and storage and mount SD, system, cash and data
Now go back and choose install zip from SD
Choose roms zip file and install it
Have patience it might take 5-6 mins or even more
If u follow this method of formatting system etc u can flash any rom no matter wat from u r currently using (no need to flash stock before flashing another from  )
That's it
Thank if I helped

Yeah I am sure bricked my phone while derping around with Hyperion
Then searched SD but there no Hyperion7.zip
So flashed jellyblast
then saw it was right there in SD
so again went to recovery and flashed Hyperion just clearing data and cash
Got bricked again
Realized different kernels so have to flash stock rom
But I was in bed while doing this and was not in mood to do all that
So I just tried the above procedure cause I thaught formatting all that would probabally erase kernal too
it worked

Oh another thing
Data and cash will automatically get unmounted once upon format them

I don't have a PC for 6 month, i always do like this. During these time my device got bricked two times only and flashed stock ROM via odin with my friend's pc .this happened while playing with different kernels. And today also i changed from jb to hyperion...no problem.

Yes, it really worked.

This is very interesting...I have just flashed back to stock from Hyperion 7 (my first successful Odin flash) and this would be a useful time and effort saver for future ROM changes.
Will test next flash and let you know how I get on

That is the usual method
It won't work if two roms have different kernels
That's y some devs ask u to flash stock before flashing their rom
Eg Hyperion

Well I saw many people complaining that there sgy entered a bootloop after flashing a custom rom
Most of the time this is mainly because u have flashed a rom with different kernal over an existing custom rom .. this results in boot loops. To avoid this some instructions ask u to flash stockrom via Odin first... but then AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
So here is a procedure to install roms like that vithout having to flash stock via odin
Remove and insert battery
Boot to recovery (volume up+power+home)
Clear data and cash in stock recovery
Flash cwm
In cwm go to mounts and storage
There format system and cash and data (do not format SD)
Go back and clear data and cash in cwm (just in case)
Go to mounts and storage and mount SD, system, cash and data
Now go back and choose install zip from SD
Choose roms zip file and install it
Have patience it might take 5-6 mins or even more
If u follow this method of formatting system etc u can flash any rom no matter wat from u r currently using (no need to flash stock before flashing another from  )
That's it
Thank if I helped

Dude if u were on stock rom .. u need not follow this procedure
Read the title properly
Remove u battery .. reinsert it then hold up+home+power to boot into recovery...
Wat do u mean u were on stock rom and tried this method ... u need cwm to do this
OK if it still doesn't boot into recovery
U have to flash stock via Odin
Next time read instructions properly ...
IF U R ALREADY ON STOCK ROM THERE IS NO POINT IN USING THIS METHOD
PLEEZ GUYS FOLLOW THE STEPS IN EXACT SAME ORDER OR U WILL 100% GET UR PHONE BRICKED I ASSURE U THAT ...

Problem I can not start 4.3 ROM! PLEASE HELP!

I had this problem with every ROM, when you load the boot animation to give his first vibration when you start to put your information, freezes and restarts. restarted like 5 times. download all the 4.3 Roms to the forum t989 but all feel the same.
Wipe the internal and external memory. so try and nothing. I went back to Stock Rom 2.3.6, I redid the Root. everything perfect. UVMC6 also install radio perfect, but still, still doing the same.

I am on TWRP 2.6.1.0 as well.
I install the rom only no gapps or anything extra and let it boot and see what happens.
I know it may not be poss now but you could try taking out your ext-sd card and simm card and boot just from the internal drive.
I don't know that it would help but it can't hurt and it reduces variables.

Hey i have the exact same problem! idk what happened, it's fine on 4.1.2 but right when i update to 4.2.2, not even 4.3 it does the exact same thing! any devs have any ideas? idk if a logcat will help in this case

why not just use another recovery like cwm and see if it works with that one.

try another board that had saved because it has the USB damaged. try to set you up for the 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and also gave me freeze and reboot. and wipe everything very well. I can not be!. but a problem has to see. do not know if I can be my navigation buttons are damaged (broken wire). believe you can be what makes my phone restart?

I had this issue i just updated my twrp. Maybe you should download TWRP from a different source? Maybe the one you have is corrupted or something . IDK try everything.

this doesn't help any, just wanted to confirm the same issue. Anytime I flash ROM above 4.1.2 on this phone it crashes in some way. any custom ROM

[Q] What Happened To My Phone

I was running rooted stock version of kit kat. Yesterday afternoon I had Google Music running while doing housework when suddenly the music stopped. I checked the phone and the screen was black and would not turn on. Pulled the battery and then it stuck at the AT&T logo for 30+ minutes. I booted into CWM to perform a factory reset and potentially reinstall the ROM from the external sd card. The factory reset produced the following error.
Code:
--Wiping Data ...
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete
Fiddled around more with CWM to reset and try to fix. Now, upon reboot, it hands at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.
Any help on fixing this so it can at least limp along until my Nexus 6 gets here would be greatly appreciated.

Use Phil touch recovery, and use wipe\clean to install new ROM. Should fix your problem. Also if you are going to a Nexus 6 you should try CM11 when u flash a new ROM.
If you want to use CWM then just format the system and flash a new ROM.

Odin doesn't recognize the device. It could be the browser version running on an old macbook pro, but I believe it is the fact that the phone's internal sd card is corrupted somehow.

I'm having the same issue as OP. The phone won't get back to recovery. Won't even go into download mode.......Please help!
Edit: I was so used to working on my wife's phone (Note 1) that I was using the wrong button combination for download mode. I still can't get back to recovery, but I'll be ok once I get home.

Try to flash stock rom in Odin. That should fix any errors but if you're still getting errors there's other stuff to try

Not the OP but I just tried this with KIES_HOME_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4_578342_REV04_user_low_ship.tar and it did not help.
Here's what I have done thus far:
1. Reflash the stock ROM from sammobile via ODIN
2. Ends in a FAIL on sboot.img
3. Phone says unsupported version (I believe this is due to the Knox locking. I can't downgrade)
4. Reflash recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-t0lteatt.img using Heimdall
5. Wipe data, cache, and Dalvik cache (noting the errors regarding the /data partition still occur)
5. Sideload cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-t0lte.zip
6. Sideload gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
7. Reboot the phone
8. Stuck in a boot loop on the cyanogenmod logo

Yes that's definitely KNOX bootloader kicking back your flash attempts in odin. MA4 is pretty old firmware. You need MK6 or NE5. Here's where you can get the latest 4.3-4.4.2 firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189
This should correct the data issue, if not, you may need to grab a pit file, but usually flashing the latest stock fixes it without requiring all that.
Flash that, re-root, flash new recovery (note: use a newer recovery, cwm sometimes has issues with our device, but twrp has been updated to work with 4.3+ same with philz, if you prefer that UI. Once 4.4.4 comes out, it doesn't play well with cwm, philz, OR older versions of twrp- I had a fight with a note 3 and recoveries yesterday, finally got it going with the latest twrp).
Boot up the device, flash/update your supersu. If you want to install a different rom now, go ahead. Once you have a new recovery installed, format (manually) /system /data /internal storage /cache /dalvik. The internal storage is important b/c it's usually what causes the /data corruption. Always wipe internal storage when switching between roms (or even between an update, I do). I don't usually wipe everything 3 times like some people do, but it is important to wipe the essentials. In twrp, internal storage is an option when wiping. In cwm & philz, you have to go under mounts & storage & it's second up from the bottom (format /data including /data/media> sdcard). Then back out to the main recovery menu and flash your rom, if you have any issues reboot recovery (not system) and re-flash it.
One more thing, make sure you have enough system storage for the gapps. I've run into issues where the rom flashed fine but gapps was too big for the system and didn't flash correctly. Try a slim gapps
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions I'm happy to try to help. We'll get it fixed for ya

Not able to flash other ROMS besides Stock now.......
In my previous post, I was able to get to download mode and flashed back to stock. I thought I was flashing At&t Stock 4.3, but was really flashing At&t 4.1.2 Stock.
I guess it would help to state what happened and the order of things. I'm at work so I don't have the exact versions for each file used, but I'll try my best. I was running DN3 v3.1.1. Something was happening where there was very little space left on my internal storage and I felt like it was time to try a different Rom since I had been on this for a few months as a daily.
1. I flashed BlissStalk with no issues, just didn't care much for the Rom (no hate, just not my cup of tea!)
2. Next I flashed CyanideMod and didn't care for that either. No issues, just wasn't my cup of tea.
3. I then attempted to flash the DS NE5 Rom, using CWM, and it would come on and show the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen and then go black. I had to do a battery pull to get anywhere and then it would come back on and get back to the Galaxy Note II screen and freeze there, or cut off completely again. This is what brought me here to this thread.
I was able to go back to stock 4.1.2, then stock 4.3, and even now on stock 4.4.2. But now I can't flash any Rom at all without getting stuck. I tried to flash DN3's latest and keep getting stuck at the second Samung Screen. I have tried to reboot and tried to reflash as the help says. I am reading through various topics and FAQ pages, but I figured this may be more than any particular Rom issue (I've tried flashing other Roms and I'm getting stuck on those too-either stuck at logos or turning off completely). I have to keep flashing back to stock.
I am researching this, even while at work, but does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
PS Even though I don't state it above, I followed all flashing directions to a T!

Ok so you've got the ne5 bootloader, so any time you flash stock you'll have to flash that version or above. Stock rom works, but custom ones don't, correct?
What's weird is that the latest dn3 is a modified stock rom so that shouldn't be an issue.
When you flashed stock, you re-rooted and did you update super su? I'm sure you already know but you should update super su's binaries & let it disable Knox, which will set your seLinux from enforcing to permissive. That could potentially be a reason why you can't flash new roms, Knox & selinux interfering with the kernel flash part of the rom(s) you're trying. If you haven't done this you may want to try and then try flashing a custom rom again. If you still encounter issues I'll try to help.

Also, cwm is pretty old and prone to bugs on our devices. However philz is based on cwm and very similar in terms of user interface. It's not as different as twrp is. It has the same style and setup just a few additional tools that cwm doesn't have. It's also more compatible with our devices. If I had to choose one I wouldn't choose cwm, I'd go with philz or twrp for the sake of compatibility.

Thanks. I'll try this when I get home. Yea, once I flashed stock I kept getting Security Notices. I saw this was due to Knox and disabled it but that was a few flash attempts ago. I will follow you steps and let you know how it goes. Once again, thanks.

You are a saint. I'm not sure why I was struggling to find stock 4.4-series firmwares that could be flashed. I was so focused on getting them from sammobile or samware-firmware that I didn't even think to look here. I am going to try this process today and let you know if it works out!

I really think this is my issue. I tried updating Super SU by flashing 1.75, but I think that's old. It doesn't show up and when I download it from the PLAY store, it says there is no SU Binary. It's too late to fiddle with this now, but I will mess around with it tomorrow. I think I lost my root and it's not trying to let me get it back. But I don't give up that easy. I was looking through the sticky thread to get the most up to date SU flash, but because it's late and I had a lot going on, this project will have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks for your help and I will let you know what happens tomorrow.

Sounds like you've figured it out. 1.75 is very old. Latest (stable) is 2.16. There are also beta versions out. I can link you to the latest flashable in the morning.
You may want to re-root via cf auto root if you can't get it to flash, but if you've got access to recovery a flash to the latest supersu should take... it's just not with 1.75 because those binaries are so outdated, it likely can't overpower enforcing selinux. That has been resolved in newer versions. I'm almost positive you'll be fine with a newer supersu/root.
Edit:
here's the link to 2.16 zip download: http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip

Hey, this worked for my root. I installed and updated the SU Binary. It got stuck trying to disable Knox, but I rebooted and went right back to it--Knox was disabled in a few seconds! Thanks again. I will wait until I get home to try to flash again because I would hate to end up stuck at work without my phone working and also because..........my name.......my name is Ken. And I.......I'm a flashaholic...........

Hey, this worked for my root. I installed and updated the SU Binary. It got stuck trying to disable Knox, but I rebooted and went right back to it--Knox was disabled in a few seconds! Thanks again. I will wait until I get home to try to flash again because I would hate to end up stuck at work without my phone working and also because..........my name.......my name is Ken. And I.......I'm a flashaholic...........

Awesome! Good luck (and I think we're all flash-aholics)

Thank you for all of your help!!! Flashed the latest DN5 rom and it's working great. I found an issue that might have been preventing me from flashing earlier besides the botched root. My external sd card is having a few issues. A week or so ago it changed to read only and wouldn't let me move any files to or from it. Tonight it wouldn't let me flash the rom, but it worked when moved the rom to the internal storage. So I'm good to go! Can't thank you enough!
