Hi. I tried to restore my phone to stock using odin.
Previously i was on CM10, one of the nightlies.
From there i used rom manager to restore to my previous backup of stock touchwiz.
It was all laggy and stuff so i used odin to restore it. Anytime in try to it hangs/ lags on "aboot.mbn"

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have exactly the same problem, guess I will try to buy another new USB cable and give it a try. Just curious, is it also possible that the microusb connector on the S2 (t989) went bad? What are the chances that the microusb connector on T989 would be "dead?" Thanks!
THANKS
OMG MAN, YOU MADE MY DAY, I was trying to figure out the problem and it was the bloody wire
cable! confirmed! thanks
OMG THANK YOU!!!I thought my phone is gonna be bricked! But YOU Saved my phone!!!!!!!
I had the same problem and after changing cable it was ok
done after changing usb cable
I know I am late to this thread. but this helped me so much. I was so scared I had bricked my device, and here all I needed to do was change out cords *facepalm*

I flashed a stock rom on a S4.
Took another cable and all went fine.
Is the phone a gt-i9505, i337, i337m, etc.? Did you use the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com?
Edit: @Gerxp, glad you got it fixed:good:

Do not flash unstable roms. I usually wait for official stable roms and making a nand backup before doing anything.
Thank you all guys. My phone successfully turned on...Thanks again
If you want to use the skyrocket port use DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE! I was having the same problem then i started from scratch, did the super wipe, installed the skyrocket rom and it runs perfect for me.

Good to hear man, glad you got it working again. it would be way too expensive of a paperweight if you were unable to flash it back.

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

Hi All,
I currently have my phone running Slimbean build 4.1 with CWM installed for my recovery. I want to restore my phone back to stock to unlock it, and give Touchwiz a try again. Whats the best way to do this? I remember reading there was some sort of unlock method using from a stock os, can I still do this?
Thanks in advance.
Download odin for your pc and the stock firmware for your carrier. Use odin to flash the firmware. Both of these can be found in the Android development section.

Yep. Sure is as that is the stock 4.1.1
Are you looking to stay on stock and keep root ? IF so just flash the stock rooted .tar in odin.

Actually, I plan on going stock, no root. I don't use root functions that much. Problem is (for me anyways) I can't get a single hotfile link for the firmware to download right now, keeps getting Network Timeout.

Yeah, both on sammoblie (as well as the fourm's here) link to hotfile.
Well, got the phone back to stock, unlock not so much. Oh well, it was worth a try. Touchwiz is kind of nice, glad I went back.
Thanks for the help, I ended up having to use my cell connection to download the file, something OS related on my PC. oh well.

You won't unlock it for free (perma unlock anyway). You'll either have to get the code from your carrier or buy it online.

It might. I never tried it. Although, trying to get it from your carrier is the easiest way. Chat with the support and ask them (can make up some excuses). Could take a few tries.

I may have lied about the girls, but here is my problem. I was on CM 10.1 Nightly 4/17 or something. I tried flashed Ktoonssez kernal....and it bricked my phone. I managed to get download mode but I am not sure what to do. Finals are coming up, and I have some lecture recording so if there is anyway to get everything back. If not I still want to stay on CM 10.1 I cannot enter recovery but before I flashed I made a nandoid back up in TWRP. IF anyone can help me ASAP I would really appreciate it!!!!
Came for the girls, disappointed.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, factory reset from recovery, flash TWRP, restore backup.
PS it's kernEl

Okay I think I scerwed it up even more.
I did the odin think, but now it doesn't even boot. It doesn't charge either, all it does is vibate whenever I try to boot it up. I cant get into Recoevery or Download. I think I hard bricked it, Will I need a Jig?

Yes it did, and then I followed up with CF root. which I think is what messed up because it didnt fail or pass. It just said complete. Will a Jig fix it? It stills vibrates but thats about it.

First of all , are you sure your device is i9300 and you flashed the right file for your device ? or you rooted using CF-Auto Root (Not CF-Root, i heard it doesnt have the Sudden Death fix)

Hey guys
So I might be selling my s3 but the buyer wants it stock....why?...I don't no.
How do I unroot the phone? And also how do i delete all the user info from the phone memory. I know doing wipe factory doesnt get rid of the stuff on the phone memory.
So pretty much need to make the phone like I got it
Any help is greatly appreciated

If you are running a custom recovery you can format everything including your internal storage. Under stock recovery a factory reset will clear out everything as well. Do this first then ODIN stock ROM. For good measure factory reset again with stock recovery.

My charging port is being flakey on me. I have to move around my cable to get my phone to charge and leaving it charging all night only gets me up to 85%battery. I've tried several of my friends chargers and several of mine ans they all have the same results. It's not the cables it's the port.
I'm trying to unroot and go back to stock via mobil Odin but i Can't find a stock md4 rom or stock recovery so I'm asking is worth going back to stock for an obvious hardware issue when taking it back to sprint.

You can flash this [ROM/RESTORE][!MD4 OTA!](5-10)Quick Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET:
You can use an app called WiFi Transfer to copy it to your phone. I use that; I actually find it faster than using the USB cord.
Good luck!

I use linux so odin was a no go
I tried using it via virtualbox but kept having all kinds of trouble until I discovered heimdall
Then i battled with heimdall for hours because it would fail to upload the recovery to my device, which was a bug in heimdall in the version I was using
Needles to say, its almost 5 am, my phone's rooted and im off to bed
