Just got into the rooting scene again. I rooted my phone with CWM and LiquidSmooth, but I liked the stock Samsung rom better. Looks like the LiquidSmooth is kind of bugged, the gallery is not as good at the default, camera app isn't really good etc.
I've found the stock rom for 4.1.2 for my I9305, but when I flash it, it just makes an exclamation mark when booting and gets stuck at Samsung logo.
Now the problem is, that It won't connect to Samsung Kies. I want to reset the phone to factory rom, but Samsung won't connect to phone in Download mode.
I know the rules of a forum etc. and I have really been searching, but sometimes you need personal advice, because I really tried a lot of things
Got CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.8 right now.
I've tried flashing with Odin and I9305XXBLL3_I9305HTDBLL2_I9305XXBLL3_HOME.tar - But doesn't really work.
Thank you in advance!
And at the same time as making this thread, I tried flashing with the rom again, and now it works. Think I forgot to do factory/cache reset.
My fault! Hope this thread helps someone else in the future.
Put "SOLVED" in thread title please
Thanks

It's good he figured it out cause he got the wrong thread. This is SPH-L710 forum not the I9305 forum.

i got this phoine from a friend who had it less than 6 months and when it went out on him he decided on the s3 instead of any kind of repairs, to pro The phone had never had any kind of mods done or attempt of any kind. completely stock but I can only get iinto download and recovery modes. any selection made i n recovery mode just soits back red error messages and nothing else.
So I guess Im stucki about how to proceed in my attempt at recovering this phone and eventualloy rooting it and making it what it could possibly be. I have previously rooted and tweaked phones but never a samsung... asny ahnd all helo and advice is appreciated. Thanx

I do not think it matters since you'll be using a one click, but since you said it was stock it's most likely on ICS. The one click method does everything for you so you do not need odin just download it, extract it to a folder on your desktop, and then click it and click it again, and then run as administrator. Plug the phone into the computer via USB make sure it's in download mode.

freezes at recovery in oneclick
so I dl the one click and it runs through for about 10 seconds then gets to the recovery labled in area next to the green status bar and yellow connected to port window and that is as far as shell go.
You must use a "restore " data one click file. You have no idea what was running previously on phone so you need to go with stock/rooted restore. The "no data " option cannot be used, it can only be used if you are staying on same build, example ics to ics or Jb to Jb.
Use restore and you should be good to go.

You must read and comprehend "one click" not tar, one click zip. This oc zip is dummy proof.

Why did you start a second thread for this, and why are you failing to say in this thread that you tried to flash a rom that is for the og Epic 4G? It is quite possible that flashing a rom for a different phone has borked your phone and the only solution will be a jtag.

Good first question.
The second one doesn't seem to apply, yet, since they can still get into recovery/odin modes.
Either they got up and running, or bricked and don't want to post back..
Aarrghh!!!
There is something evil about this.

I hope he got it running. Reminds of when I got the og Epic 4G and 2 days later flashed it with a rom for the international gsm version. I didn't know about XDA at the time and it took a few hours to recover from that. After that I started reading carefully.

Try to flash a GB08 Restore One Click. Not rooted, not deodexed, just a straight up stock restore.
Make sure you are using a good USB cable that is plugged into a good port. Plug the phone in AFTER you have opened the One Click Odin package. You will see the COM port appear then you just need to click start or begin or whatever it says. Give it time to flash.

As to the first question, I am new to subscribing and especially posting to forums so my original post was in the wrong forum and said to have been moved to somewhere but never saw it where they said they moved it. As for the second, figutred it out without the help of you "senior members" appreciated is the help and humility of the people who posted that actually care about the issue...will be adding thanx to those posts
I moved this quiestion to a more general forum. Apologies for the duplicate.

Hi, I previously rooted my s3 intl with an AOKP Jellybean rom, but I am finding it slow.
I decided to try the latest CyanogenMod, and downloaded the files listed here hwiki.cyanogenmod.org /w/Install_CM_for_i9300
I got the error that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package needed to be installed, so I did so, but got errors that the later vesion was installed.
I uninstalled 2012, and tried again. It installed successfully, but I still got the error, so I rebooted etc etc, tried downloading the dll and placing it in the various directories.
Long story short I get the same error that the dll is not installed. So I had to give that up.
So i then downloaded heimdall 1.3.1 front end and installed it.
But now it says that the tag headers don't match. I read somewhere that the rom must be the same version as the heimdall suite. But I can't find a rom now, after MUCH searching online.
I would really appreciate some help with this. :crying:
Wrong device. This is the sprint forum.
And you don't root devices with a ROM.

Sorry, yes that's why I commented at the top that I moved the question.
Regarding rooting, I refer to the first time, is there a way to root without one?
Many thanks

@Bensmom Yes rooting has nothing to do with rom. You can root any phone while on the stock factory installed rom. Now after you have acquired root you can flash custom roms or leave the stock rom. Rooting simply means getting access to the root directory of your device.

Oh my goodness thank you, okay, I've wasted so much time. Thank you so much! All I wanted was the latest jelly bean with droid wall. Not really worried about all the other things.
Do you by any chance know how I could do a straight root after I revert back to the stock Rom? The last official jb 4.2.2 UN rooted my phone, I couldn't run droid wall.

I bought a note i317m off craiglist and he had flashed a verizon rom on a rogers (i think) canadian phone.
I went back to 4.1.1 and performed the free unlock. It read my sim fine, i made calls, connected to LTE, etc.
I flashed a 4.2.2 rom and now i cant get it to read any sim i put in to it (all the sims work and some were active)
imei under phone info matches the sticker
Can anyone recommend a way to completely restore this phone. Format the entire sd and start fresh?
Ok from that model# that shows sounds like someone or who ever you got it from, flashed a Verizon Rom on there?? Because that's there model#for there GN2.
Team win is the custom recovery, call TWRP!
Next you can just Odin back to stock and hopefully you'll b good to go.
But I think you should start here for your info!! A lot of your questions will b answered there... :thumbup:

You'll just have to wipe your internal STORAGE. But just back up anything that you'll like to keep. If you use Odin back to stock then, there will be nothing on your phone!! Afterwards

Do i do that through recovery? Do i have to reflash my rom or anything?
Yes you do it thru recovery! If that's the one that you want to use(Rom) then no need to re flash anything.. but you will have to set it back up again. But I do recommend TWRP it's a lil easier to use to me personally! But I'm say use what your use to using! Then there's no problems lol.
Don't forget to grab (back up)what you want off the phone b4 you do this wipe:what:. Because your going to lose everything. I've just done this recently, meaning cleaning out my phone completely!

SO i was playing dead trigger and wanted to gave tegra 3 optimizations so i downloaded Chainfire 3D from the play store and i installed the drivers and it rebooted my note 2, but it's stuck at the Galaxy Note 2 logo!! I can still use vol up+home+power and vol down+home+power, i tried factory reset in CWM, still stuck, tried flashing new rom (CM, AOKP) still stuck, so now i just want my phone back up and running again. Anyone know how to fix it problem? I don't need any apps or data back or root back, just back up and running again. Oh and charging still shows the battery picture, and i can still turn off my phone.

Why do so many people on xda have such a hard time understanding what "bricked" means.
If you can easily fix it, then it isn't "bricked"
It's bricked if it has to go for jtag
If you read the description for chainfire 3d, it distinctly says "not compatible with ICS/Jellybean" so theres your problem why u have troubles... a factory reset might not be the fix. ODIN may be the only way.

Yeah it's because they can't get the phone to come back on. So that's why they think it's bricked. Plus it's the only word they know and heard of. There's also soft brick, stuck in a loop, etc. But most of the time when the phone stops working correctly, most thinks it's bricked! Lol

For me, even "soft brick" is a stupid term..
A phone is either bricked or not bricked. If it is bricked, there is no fixing it imo (other than jtag)
Odin will fix this, this happened to my S2 while I'm on JB. Just download the latest odin, and the stock rom of your Note 2, probably you can find the rom on sammobile, google will help you out, PM me if you need any assistance. Just relax, it's not broken.
