Hello,
I want to go back to the latest stock roms because i don't enjoy the current roms that are out.
And i can't use what i want on a custom rom but i can on the stock.
Can someone explain to me how to go back to stock?
Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks for the Reply.
I currently flashed my Phone with this rom.
But i currently got another problem : My phone gives me the message that there is a new update. But when i try to install it, i get an error that it's not possible.
Using a Xperia S.
you cant update when you are on unlocked bootloader, you need to relocked first.

You need to relock only when going to use SUS/PCC. Flashtool, no need.
yeah , but he is asking that he cant update his phone even though it prompts him with new firmware available.

Thanks for the reply, tried to relock it by using the tutorials but :
When i try to relock my xperia s, the flashing goes well.
But when i try to start my phone i see a green led for a short time and then my phone does nothing.
I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.
You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

The first file is a 4.3 rom you can flash but the 2nd file is the bootloader and when I did the ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you have to flash that mk6 bootloader to make it boot

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?
If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work
well after the release of the latest firmware comes the new expectation of rooting the device?
any successors?
for now,you can only flash over rooted 4.4.4
what i am asking is a more direct and preferably one step method...

Hi i followed all the steps as mentioned.... but after flashing restarting it is not going past Sony logo, not even the boot animation.
Please help
Hey there Just decided to share my experience. I have a D5503 and I flashed the 14.5.A.0.242 firmware. After this I decided to try to root the device,but since I had no TWRP or Clockwork it seems impossible to root. I lost my bootloader unlock too and no tool or method seems to be able to unlock it. I tried the official sony method,tried from flashtool and other similar programs but nothing seems to work (from cmd it comes up with and error message, some kind like "failed,cannot complete command or smth"). And yes,I've checked and my phone's bootloader CAN be unlocked. Any ideas what must be causing that or I just have to wait for a proper tool/method for root/BL unlocker ?
I want to update my one m8 to 4.16.401.13 firmware

can someone please provide with one?

I came across this - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347804336
I am not sure if it's a RUU or a TWRP Nandroid Backup (I'm guessing the latter), but I guess you can extract the firmware from it?

Yes it's a nandroid backup. The firmware won't be included. TWRP doesn't backup firmware.

There are no 4.16.401.13 modified firmwares or RUUs available AFAIK. It was a small incremental update that apparently wasn't big enough to warrant the effort.
I'm still on 4.16.401.10 and have never felt the need to update. Never even looked into it till now. I wouldn't worry about it.

Find the thread for your stock firmware and see if it is available there. This happens because of root and/or the unlocked bootloader. You have to unroot and possibly relock the bootloader to be able to take OtA updates.
Sent from my Moto G6 Plus using Tapatalk
Same issue here .
If your bootloader is unlocked or if you do not have the stock recovery anymore then the update will fail. If your rooted then look through your device for the update package and upload it online for others to see.
I've tried flashing the stock firmware but get same result. Where do I get the stock recovery to fix the issue?
I haven't unlocked neither rooted my moto g6 play yet, I received the update notification this morning , I've updated it with no issues ( around 500mb). Update is Android security patch level , 1 September 2018 , build number : OPP27.91-143

I thought the same, but flashed stock firmware and it won't update by ota.i can download it it but it fails.
unlocked bootloader won't make you unable to do the update. only stalling custom recovery and/or rooting phone. as soon as I got this update by the beginning of the month, I just reflashed stock firmware and did the update.
