Hey,
I need to return my T989D for repair to Telus, but my USB is broken (will not work with PC/ODIN).
Is there a CWM stock rom of Telus I can flash that will erase CWM at the same time??

The stock, unrooted ROM that you are looking for can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350357
Unfortunately you will have to use ODIN and flash through the PDA option to make it work.
You will also want to use Mr.X's flash counter reset which can be found below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578184
This can be flashed through CWM Recovery.
Probably not the news you were looking for, but I hope that helps.
Were you able to get it going?
I have made myself a flashable stock Telus ROM. PM me if you still need it.
In the market there is am app called Mobile Odin.

Hi,
I usually can find an answer going through the forums but now I'm in doubt so I'll just ask the question.
I'm on Rogers network. I rooted my phone using mskip amazing toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665. Everything has been going well but now I noticed that I'm not able to get LTE. I thought the problem was on Rogers side so I called the them but after 45 minutes on the phone with the tech I realized that my flashed ROM is probably the problem. (I still wonder why the tech didnt asked me if I had rooted the phone since everything he was asking me to do on the phone wasn't working....). I checked my APN and it's fine. I also used the app phone info and tried to force LTE without any luck. I read that if we flash an ATT rom that LTE might not work. Based on the menu options in mobile network (and my conversation with Rogers tech), I think I need to flash a rooted Rogers ROM. So I want to flash the Rogers stock root rom from mrRobinson (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) using CWM but I'm not sure if the file is made to be used with CMW but instead only ODIN. And I think I will loose CWM if I flash the file through ODIN since it contains a recovery file.
So,
1- Can I flash the Rogers stock root file from mrRobinson using CWM?
2- If I flash the Rogers stock root from mrRobinson through ODIN will it change my CWM recovery to stock recovery?
Thank you!
Yes, those images must be flashed through ODIN. TAR files need ODIN, ZIP files can use CWM.

I believe so, but just follow his steps to reinstall CWM recovery, it does take very long.
i rooted my koodo t989d using odin and and installed jedi mind trick v8. i made a nandroid backup of my stock image. i now want to return it to full stock however i cannot find exactly what i need to return it to the koodo factory setup. can i restore my backup then use odin and the telus recovery? currently if i restore back to the stock koodo rom when i try to turn the phone off the lights on the butons will not turn off and i must pull the battery to restart it. thx
to be clear i have read the guides on unrooting but i cannot find any specific to the KOODO t989d
Theres a koodo stock rom in the dev section, just flash it and your back to stock.
i have the same cell and have done it as well.
Thx I saw and downloaded that rom but will that give me stock recovery also?
If its the official rom .img then when you flash it, it should make everything as it was including recovery.

Here you go. This is the official Koodo stock ROM. Flash it using Odin.

Hello, I am currently rooted and have CWM 6.0.4.3. installed. I'm on CM11 but want to go back to stock.. Is there an easy way to keep root and go back to stock. Want stock for a few functions that ROMS dont seem to be offering but can keep root and CWM ??
Thanks.
Which phone do you have? You could try flashing a pre-rooted stock ROM via Odin. Then use Odin to flash CWM.
Bt its better to firstly install ur stock rom and then again root it as it takes no longer than 5 mins

Ok perfect, thats what I was looking for. Phone btw is S3 - d2att - SGH i747) Sounds good to install the stock rom and re-root.. I'm sure its here but I have searched everywhere to find a tutorial on this and I cannot find a straight answer.
Would you mind giving me the steps or pointing me to a thread that explains how to and has the files in need to download ?

Do you know if there is a step by step on this somewhere ? I dont mind going back to complete stock.. I can just re-root and flash CWM after.
OR
Maybe you could just answer the bigger question : the reason I want to go back to stock is I need to use MHL/HDMI which CM11 doesnt support. I dont want to go back to stock, I would rather even go to another ROM that supports mhl/hdmi.. but if I have to go to stock, than so be it.?
Were you running the stock AT&T 4.3 ROM before you switched to CM11?

Yes, I bought the phone new and was running stock, Canadian Rogers version and had changed to CM10, then to 11.

Since you installed a custom recovery, that would have tripped the Knox counter which voids the warranty. It's not a problem if the phone is working properly.
Did you update to 4.3 or did it come with 4.3?
You may be better off installing a pre-rooted ROM.

It was quite some time ago but I believe I was on ICS 4.0.. and switch to CM from there. Im not worried about the counter for warranty, that's expired on my unit anyways. I just want to be able to use MHL/HDMI function.. so if fine with flashing pre-rooted.. or stock.. or a different ROM that support MHL/HDMI. Can you recommend the easiest route ?

I asked about 4.3 because the 4.3 bootloader cannot be downloaded. Flashing via mobile Odin will not touch the bootloader or modem.
You could try a pre-rooted rom and then flash a custom recovery via Odin.
I use Philz Touch from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2att

Ok thanks, I will do that. 1 thing I'm not quite sure of is the bootloader situation ? In the first tutorial there is a note : Flashing a prior bootloader can hard/soft brick your device. How do I know ?
I see the steps as:
Extract tar file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the tar file
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and when done let phone reboot.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
For my situation, is it just that easy ?
Before flashing, verify the version of your bootloader.

OK I have made an effort to go read and figure out how to find out what version of bootloader on my own.. But i cannot find ? Any chance you know... And could help?
You mentioned your have the i747 and Rogers. Do you have the AT&T s3 (i747) or Rogers/Bell/Telus s3 (i747m)?
What is the most recent stock ROM you had on your phone?
Hey. I got the i747m. As for what was the last stock ROM I had, can't say. I know when I bought the phone it was ICS and I had received and update to jellybean.. But them went to cm10. The tutorial I followed told me had me back everything up, which I did. Have it in a file somewhere on my comp, would that tell me ?

If you are flasjing back to stock you should flash back to the same baseband/bootloader that came stock on your phone.
I'm looking for a stock rooted zip for the sasktel i747m (MF1) that i can flash in CWM....I need to go back to stock to fix a data issue that ive encountered through flashing these new d2lte builds...

I have not seen a stock mf1 ROM that can be flashed in CWM. You could use mobile Odin to flash back to stock and then flash Philz Touch via desktop Odin later.
OK, so back to my question.. If I have the i747M and bought the phone with ICS.. does this help.?

Hey there Audit, Sorry to bother you again, I just dont know how to move forward from here and neeeeeed some help.
I have been reading for days and days have not found a straight answer for my issue and I dont want to just go ahead and start flashing when I dont know if its the right method ?
I dont know how to get back to stock from where I'm at, I dont know how to figure out what bootloader I have (you asked me)
I have found a couple links on XDA that I can follow, I'm just not sure if they apply to my situation ?
This is a pretty detailed response/tutorial, but I dont know if I can just go ahead with this or not ?

If you are sure you have the Rogers i747m and you have never loaded a stock Rogers 4.3 ROM onto your phone, you could use desktop Odin to flash a pre-rooted 4.1.2 ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426.
Flashing the pre-rooted 4.1.2 ROM will return the phone to completely stock, wipe out all installed apps and data, and you will have root. I do not recommend flashing the Rogers 4.3 pre-rooted ROM from the link.
Once you are able to boot into the phone and set things up, you can flash Philz Touch from Odin which will give you a custom recovery on a rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM.
Hey guys, I've been searching for a couple hours now and have came up empty handed.
I'm trying to find a stock rooted ROM for my Sasktel i747m (baseband/bootloader= MF1] . I already have the Odin-able version but i don't have access to a computer for a few days so i am looking for a flashable zip that i can flash in cwm recovery? I know these type of zips exist for the us carriers....but has anyone made one for the Canadian versions???
any help or links would be great..
AGAIN, I'M LOOKING FOR A FLASHABLE STOCK ROOTED ZIP FOR sasktel I747M (BASEBAND MF1) THAT I CAN FLASH IN CWM 6.0.4.7 RECOVERY...NOT ODIN.

did you ever solve this issue? I was wondering the same thing, wanting to flash back to rogers 4.1.1/2 and them back to Quantum to fix the minor LTE issue. I was considering mobile ODIN.

Do you have the i747m? If you do, you can try flashing a stock ROM from sammobile. Not sure if you can use Odin with a 4.3 bootloader.

yep, i'm on the i747m with the LK4 bootloader, so I think that's 4.1.1? Ideally, I was hoping to just use CWM to flash everything - stock rom, then back to quantum, but I hadn't found a flashable version of stock rom for CWM yet. I will check out sammobile, though, thanks.
I never did find a zip...I ended up odining back and then making sure i made a stock rooted nandroid before going back to aosp...
Hi everyone,
I am looking for a way to sim unlock my S3 so my girlfriend can use it on Telus (I just got an OPO )
Before I purchase a code, I have a few questions, if anyone knows the answer
1- Will an unlock code work with my setup? (I am seeing reports of it only working on Stock 4.1 and whatnot)
2- Where is a good place to purchase a code? (Rogers a crooks with a 50$ fee and I don't wanna get ripped off online either)
Thanks!
XC3N
You will need to be running a stock or close to stock ROM in order to use the unlock code. You do not need to be on stock 4.1.1 to use an unlock code. You need to be running stock 4.1.1 if you want to unlock using the free method. You may be able to unlock it using a code if you are running a stock dialler.
What bootloader or baseband is on your phone?

I managed to get a code from Rogers for half the price, which is "not that bad" I guess...
I have yet to try it as I don't have the SIM card with me atm.
Baseband: I747MVLUEMK5
it's my understanding that downgrading from this will brick your phone...
Thanks for all the info!
Yes, trying to downgrade from mk5 will brick your phone.
Find the stock Rogers ROM from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin. Flashing back to stock will wipe all user data and files so make sure you backup everything you need before flashing back to stock.

ah one more thing... since I'm using the unlock code (I don't believe the free method works on Rogers phone anyway) should I flash to stock MK5?
If I go to stock MK5, eill I be able to come back to CM afterwise?
Thanks!
The free method will only work if you are running an i747 or i747m on stock 4.1.1 including the bootloader.
If you flash back to stock mk5, you should be able to re-install cwm and CM11. There are many threads on disabling knox and install CWM.

I had a slight problem after the Odin flash where I had to boot to recovery and factory reset to get out of a boot loop, but everything went fine after that.
I managed to unlocked the phone, changed the recovery using the aforementioned thread and got back up and running on CM11 M10 in no time!
Thanks a lot for your help sir =)
