Returning to complete factory STOCK

Can someone help me with this. I'm having to return the wife's phone due to her camera being messed up. I've Already put it back to somewhat stock from CM (I don't thing I changed the radio either), but still rooted. Is all I need the esprimg file and to flash that and I'm good? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm not as used to her phone as with mine. Thx

I'm not exactly sure that you can. It seems (to me) that once you change the permissions of the files in the phone they are stuck like that. "I" believe that once it is changed in firmware you can't go back even if you do a hard reset.
I did a hard reset on the phone after rooting it because I took the wrong app off and when I went to redo root the files already had permission granted to them.

i'd love to know the answer to this as well.

This SHOULD be what you're looking for... I think.

I just went through this on my return.
Grab the ESPRIMG.zip from the S-OFF thread. The link is under where it says "Still still having problems?" I'd post the direct link myself but it won't let me.

Put the file in the root of your SD card and reboot into stock recovery and it should automatically start flashing. Once its done and you reboot it will be back to complete stock/pre-OTA update and will no longer be rooted.

You will also need the 1.35 update.zip if you want to update manually
You can download it here http://www.4shared.com/file/xqsDnrwl/1_35_531.html
Remember to change the file name to update.zip before flashing threw stock recovery

[Q] why is the stock att rom the only one nobody has?

After being an iphoner right from the get-go, (jailbreaker of course), i finally got bored and moved on. plus, i really wanted a big screen. so i got a gn2 about a month ago, and rooted it on my mac two weeks ago using the CWM/mac/heimdall method. i have been running the stock-but-rooted rom, and not put on a custom rom yet. i have no real good reason for this, but for pure educational purposes and a desire for complete control, and/or warranty reason should they arise, i would like to do a full unroot and restore a stock rom. BUT everywhere I look, I can easily find every possible stock rom from every carrier and every country... except at&t (sgh-i317). i know i can use other that are similar. but my question is, WHY is what is potentially the most common/popular rom of them all, NOT widely available?
second question is: ok, so it's hard to find. but does it exist at all? if so, where? i tried to flash this one, (not allowed to post the link), using the CWM console that got put on the phone when I rooted it, but is fails every time I try saying the file or rom is "bad". is it bad, or do I need to do something else? FWIW, the fail flashings of this rom do no brick my phone. it reboots normally to the stock rooted rom i've been using since I rooted it two weeks.
oops, looks like i can't post links but the sgh-i317 rom i found was at a well-known net repository of stock roms

I found this over in the dev section in the Reference sticky.
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/181184536/fa1bbef/I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_ATT.zip.html
I haven't downloaded it, so I couldn't tell you what's in there. It might be a CWM flashable rom-only zip, or it might be odin-flashable files in there. You'll have to download and see.
Edit: Did a little more research.. That's an Odin tar file inside the zip.

I had to do a double take and make sure I wasnt writing this post. I am in almost the same boat under similar circumstances. I have been waiting for the stock rom for 2 months . I got my AT&T Note 2 in November and went through the root process and had a problem somewhere along the way and had to use a custom rom to get up and running again. Since then I have waited patiently for a stock rom to show up that would get me back to normal . My phone has been working , but my signal strength is bad and I can show 3 bars on my phone , but when I go to make a call , it drops to zero and I cannot make a call . This happens at work all the time and at home most of the times. My incoming calls are not accepted and are routed to my voice mail , which I cant listen to until I get to an area where I get a better signal . I cannot live like this for 2 years , I need this fixed . Just want to get back to stock , with no root , no custom roms , etc . I never had this problem with my iphone ! Love the Note 2 , but come on man!

Why not flash cleanrom att special edition and the correct modem. I have not had any issues with his rom. Did you do a backup of the stock rom before you flashed a custom rom? If you did go back to your stock backup.

www.stockroms.net

so i see we're all pretty junior here. none of the experienced folks have chimed in here yet.
getting back on topic, you could make a case that the att stock rom could/should be the most widely used rom in the entire gn2 world. yet it does not appear to be widely available, when the most obscure ones are. why is this?
-peter

thank you for posting that link, "member", because i couldn't. that's where i got the one that gives a "bad" or "corrupt" when i try to flash it in the CWM console.
sooo, is it corrupt? or is it user error on my part where i have to do something to the .zip file to make the CWM flash console able to use it? or do i have to flash it with mobile odin, (which i don't know how to use, yet).
-peter

ok member, i just unzipped the sgh-i317 file from stockroms and there is a .tar file in there, but "kies" is in the name of it. does that mean i have to use kies to flash it?

Hey so the only way to get back stock ATT (well the only way I know) is through ODIN. So follow these steps if you want your old AT&T unroot back, then root it again for a stock root experience.

And that .tar file is read only by odin I believe. I do not think you can flash it through CWM or TWRP, but I am fairly new to android (last 2 weeks, and before that 6 years of iOS). So I could be wrong.

He wants completely stock, as shipped. That's how I understand it anyway.
For pcrussell50, you'll use Heimdall to flash that .tar file. I use Windows so I've never used Heimdall, so I definitely cannot help you with it. Good luck!

success... i think. used mobile odinPRO to flash the rom on stockroms net then rebooted in to download mode and sure enough, there is no longer a binary count, where it used to read "1" and it shows the binaries as stock. a further check under settings>about device>status, all the way at the bottom shows device status: normal. it used to say device status: modified until this flash of the stock rom from stockroms.
now the mystery... am i still rooted? SU, Ti backup, triangle away (which i never used), and mobile odinPRO icons are still on the home screen. i do not know if these things go away automatically after unrooting or if they still hang around. but when i try to boot into the CWM recovery mode, (volume up-center home-power it boots to a similar, but stock looking interface. that makes me think it's unrooted now.
overall pretty satisfied. i'll roll like this for a few days and try to pick up the new ota update and re-root again.
thx, peter

even more success...
i picked up the ota update to 4.1.2 just as if it was totally stock--so i think now i AM totally stock, after waking up this morning rooted, and spending parts of today unrooting back to factory stock. so now i know i can do it. i'll re-root here again when i can get some time. thanks all, and i'll try to help anyone else in my boat as best i can.

i must not have had it ticked, because after reading your post above, i went to odin (still on my phone) and tried to open it and it told me i need to have root (super user) to use it. it said no such thing when i was rooted, so at this point i _think_ i'm not rooted. i'll look for the app in the app store for even more confirmation.
normally i'm not such a blabbermouth with posting, but i need to get up to 10 so i can post links. then you might not hear from me as much unless i actually have something of value to contribute.

So glad I left iOS. Even with a jailbreak it's nothing compared to android. I been rooted since day 1 and now I'm running the type 3 international stock rom by micosa. It's beautiful! Love the inverted apps for battery saving! I also have a swift flow beta keyboard and I lowered the height of the keyboard so there is more screen real estate with the keyboard up. And with s pen board switcher, I can go to handwriting mode as soon as I pull out s pen!

[Q] Just got this phone and need some general info from

So I am a well seasoned samsung vet. I had the vibrant the s2 I curently have the note 2 running the latest cm 10.1 nightliy and now I am the proud owner of a brand new s3 Yay. So I was wondering if this is the same as the note 2 as far as design across carriers and software across carriers. Can we use att roms without port or kernel changes? Are the AOSP roms identical? I havent looked yet but I assume that all I got to do is use odin to install twrp or cwm and then I can install su and root. Also It came with jb 4.1.1 the build number is t999uvdlja. Is that the latest build? every time i check for an update it tells me i have to wait in line. not word for word but that is what it is telling me. I have never seen that. So I am just wondering if I am up to date. I dont know if I will be doing any heavy modifications because it is my girls phone so I might just root it and leave it at that.

You practically up to date. There was a newer base pushed but very minor changes. If anything, you can always flash the new modem that came with it to try it out for better results.
You are right about the root process
You can use att builds... Just may have to edit build.prop to make it say t999 and not t747
Enjoy

Thanks for the quick answer galaxys3guy I have one question about the root process. On the newer android builds like what came on my note2 there is a built in fail safe that automatically rewrites the stock recovery. So 1. has that been implemented on the latest jb builds on this phone? And if so how do we get around it? When I went to root my note 2 I actually was able to use the exploit that samsung screwed up. If I remember corectly that exploit was originally found on the s3 but I know that samsung recently updated the nate2 so I would assume they updated the s3 to patch the exploit. So the only other way is to A install a custom rom with root via odin or use ADB to disable that function that rewrites recovery. I looked around and didnt see much about rooting for this phone. So what I think I will do is use chainfire's autoroot. Then flash twrp via odin and be done with it. But I was just wondering about the workarounds. As you can probally tell I only half know what I am talking about. I am self taught so sometimes things just dont make sence to me when they should it takes me a while but I usually get it.

Lol I'm glad u know half of what u are talking about cuz I don't
All I did... Was booted into download mode... Put twrp in the PDA section of Odin, and flashed the recovery. (After it was done... If I remember right, I had to unplug and manually reboot because something with Odin was not working... But that was just for me... So if u have that issue where your phone won't boot after it says pass, just unplug and reboot urself). From there I booted into recovery and flashed supersu...

Hey congrats on New gs3 bro!
I kind of went thru something similar to your rooting proces.
You should check out galaxys3root.com. it is super helpful site. basically when you run Odin to root ( installing custom recovery like cwm or twrp, ) you need to uncheck all tick boxes especially auto-reboot and F.reset time buttons. Otherwise phone will reboot and reinstall stock recovery and in some case stuck on boot.. when you un-check them phone will not reboot after installing. You just pull battery after install and boot into custom recovery by volume+ , home and power together. I'm afraid there no patch that I know of ATM. Good luck..

I did have a problem with my T-Mobile branded S3 going back to stock recovery and found there are 2 files that need to be renamed using the file explorer of your choice.
install-recovery.sh located in the /system/etc folder
recovery-from-boot.p located in the /system folder
I just add a .bak to the file name. Once this is done install CWM again and it will be OK. Also of note it will trip the counter built into the phone every time CWM is used. Download Triangle Away from the market to reset the counter when needed.

okay Now I see. So One way to fix this is to uncheck everything in odin so that the phone doesnt reboot itself. Then pull the battery and reboot into recovery right away and that will somehow overide the rewrite process.
But GTwalling I have q question. Do you need to be rooted to rename those files? Or does the security leak make that not matter? I know that the leak basically makes one of the partitions read-write when it should be read only. I am almost positive that the last update that you guys got would have patched the exploit because it did with the note2. But in any case basically I would go into /system/ect folder then find the file: install-recovery.sh then rename that file so it should look like this when done install-recovery.sh.bak then do it with the other file as well. Is that right? basically all you are doing is making the file not run without deleting it. Cool. I just learned something. It seems like the peope in this fourm are cool and helpful. Maybe I will learn alot here.
Another thing I noticed that there is a toolkit from mskip I think. I know he does good work from his toolkit for the s2. Maybe there is a way to use his tool kit to disable that rewrite process. The one for the note2 has that feature but it is not made by mskip he actually wanted to make one and posted in the general fourm for ideas and a bunch of the idiots that are in that fourm were like we have one already and we dont need another. I tried to encurage him to make one and not listen to those idiots but It never came to be. But i'm sure if I msg him and tell him he can put that in if it isnt already. I personally dont like to use toolkits because I want to do everything myself but I also think they are a way of the future. Alot of people just want to point and click to do things and dont want to know what the whole thing is.

I received the D851 10m OTA today. Some questions.

I apologize, I posted this in the wrong forum. Feel free to delete, I can't figure out how (I can only edit when I press the edit/delete button).

Don't update it. More than likely if you have twrp and root it will loop. I did mine this morning and it looped it. I had to factory reset with the lg tool. Just wait it out. The update isn't that serious.

Hey Danon, where did get the LG tool to factory reset? i feel victim to the same damn thing. Need to reset mine now.

First off, this question belongs in the Q&A not development
BUT. Regarding root, you never want to apply an OTA update, you never know if they could patch any rooting exploit and or lock the bootloader. Someone will most likely pull the update from the device and make us a flashable zip that will preserve root.
So for now do nothing at all

I have no intention of installing this update but how do I get rid of the persistent notification? It's annoying me.

Once you get the process down it takes about 7 minutes. I would advise you to do it with Windows 7 if you can.

I know on my S4 i337m when running the Google Play Edition ROM I modified this line in the build prop to the same line from the build prop in that update.
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/jgedlteue/jgedlte:4.4.4/KTU84P.S001/140602:user/release-keys
I'm assuming it would work on ours too if anyone has their phone updated and can post that (ro.build.fingerprint) line from their build prop.
Is there anyone that maybe posted an update we can flash on our Rooted/Non Stock Recovery phones?

Before entering download mode, make sure you unplug USB cable, remove the battery and put it back in, press and hold the volume button and plug in USB cable, and relax.
This method won't wipe your phone.

Do you have the notification for the update

I installed root explorer and found the file but it wouldn't let me rename or delete it. It said it was successful but didn't actually work.

[Q] What is the best way to disable OTA update notifications?

I'm on 4.4.2 and rooted/s-off. Not interested in the 4.4.3 update (I'm going to flash a 4.4.4 rom soon). How do i stop this notification from appearing every time i turn my phone on?

I read something about renaming the otacerts.zip file to something like otacerts.zip.bak OR move it to an entirely different spot(External SD Card) OR delete it. As apparently that is what gives the notifications. Afterwards you'll have to do the update(It'll refuse to run, no info file available) and then just clear it, you won't see it again.
If I recall right on what I read though, been a couple of weeks since then, somebody else wanted to know on here as well. Just look into it and do some search
Oh and it'll be the /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip file

Why would it "blow" up or turn into a "brick"
If you're concerned about the S-OFF and being Rooted, it has no effect on the OTA. You just need to make sure that you have stock ROM i.e didn't flash a custom ROM(ARHD, Viper etc) and that you have stock recovery.
Being S-OFF or rooted won't prevent the OTA, after the OTA though you will lose root, but you can root again by just booting Philz custom recovery and flashing the root .zip like before.

Being S-OFF or rooted won't prevent the OTA, after the OTA though you will lose root, but you can root again by just booting Philz custom recovery and flashing the root .zip like before.

solved disable ota update notification
In order to use this. you should be rooted with superuser rights for this app.
Download "Disable Service" app from play store. (sorry xda doesnt allow me to share the link for the app as i have posted less than 10 post)
Install app and open it.. Go to System App - check systemupdateservice...... then close the app.
Click on the system update notification and press install and then back button. Then restart your mobile..
This method will stop the notification after the restart.
