[Q] help un rooting sn2

So I was looking at this you tube video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTcslgE0RK4 and everything seems relatively easy except I go to dl the firmware Here:http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ for my friends note 2 and I don't see a dl for USA or anything close to it. My question is which firmware do I dl? Thanks in advance!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968136

Just to clarify, I can use the aforementioned info in the link to un root the galaxy note II?

I "believe" that its the stock ROM untouched, no root no busy box no custom boot loader.
It will put your Note 2 back to the way it was when you first got it.
* If your uncertain then PM the OP of the post for confirmation.

Inside the the zip file you downloaded should be a file that ends in .tar or .tar.md5 that is used in Odin.
If your not sure what you are doing you may want to brush up on the process first.

How can I flash modem to my phone?

Hello,
So I finally flashed my first ROM, Clean Rom 3.5. Then I started reading about a new, today, modem zip file. I guess I need to install it. I have it on my phone in both a zip file and then I extracted it and have it in the phone as a bin files additionally. I am a noob at this stuff. I have mobile odin pro but am not sure of the exact steps to correctly add this bin file. I also have TWRP if I need it.
Any help would be appreciated as I almost bricked my phone this morning and it has been very hectic around here with the sick kids. Thanks

i suggest slowing down and reading to understand what you're doing. not trying to be a smarta$$, just trying to be helpful. if you downloaded the modem file in a zip format (e.g., like the one on Scott's website), then read the post that provided the link to confirm how the modem should be installed. if you downloaded the ATT modem from Scott's website then you should be able to flash it like you would his 3.5 ROM. also, i read another post where you were looking for the latest ATT OTA; if you haven't done so already, then search the development section for Scott's release of a the newest stock, ATT TWRP flashable ROM.
again, just offering some helpful advice... take your time and enjoy your device.

Stock Rom Question

Hello all. I have posted this problem/question before but received no help. So im posting it again. I recently rooted my S3 and installed cyanogenmod and decided I like touchwiz so I decided to unroot it. So I installed triangle away to delete any traces of root and the process was completed nicely. Then I flashed a stock rom that I downloaded online. Then I did a stock factory reset. But it doesnt feel right. There are slight graphics glitches with opening some apps. Like opening facebook messanger will display white and black lines untill it loads up. I tried the whole reinstall thing and no help. There are other similar glitches. Can anyone help me? I want my s3 fully stock like it was straight from att.

I would try another file download location (which you did not specify where you downloaded from). You might also try and redownload and ensure to do an MD5 check. Of course this means factory resetting again and ODIN.
If nothing else, download rooted ROM from Mr.Robinson's post and unroot it. This will keep your flash counter as is.

Follow this thread for downloading stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625. After unzipping most should end with the file name .md5. ODIN will do the md5 check automatically for you. Just pay attention to the prompts.
If you find that this does not work, go here and download rooted rom to be flashed via ODIN. You can then remove root.
If the file is not ODIN flashable with an md5 at the end, look for a long string of digits and letters that should be right by the download. A good example to know what I am talking about is to take a look at the site for rooted stock roms. Notice the md5 under the Old image AT&T file download link. Download and extract this file and follow the directions.

I tried Mr. Robinson's rooted stock rom, and it has the exact same issue.... Is it all just in my head? Please do help. My S3 isn't perfect anymore and i'm really OCD about it. I regret ever rooting.

[Q] Flash Stock Firmware TWRP

I'm trying to flash back to the Stock firmware with TWRP. I have the zip file on my SD card but when I try to flash it is reporting that it is unable to open the zip. I confirmed that the file is downloaded correctly and not corrupt as I am able to access/extract it on my PC without issue. Any ideas on how to get past this?

Its probobly an ODIN zip not a CWM zip. Extract the zip and if it has a .pda in it then you have to use ODIN on your PC

An MD5 is just an integrity check file. What is the name of the zip and where did you get it?

The name of the Zip file is
SGH-I317_ATT_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4.zip
I downloaded it from a couple locations that listed it as the stock AT&T firmware for this phone. Each location same error.

Im pretty sure that the one you downloaded is just zipped factory firmware and not flashable zip. You will need to extract tar file inside if there is one and flash Via Odin. If you are using it for att there is one that you can flash via twrp from link below.

Ah thanks for the help, I think thats my problem. Testing with the link you provided. Thanks.

I wonder why we see a lot of people asking questions here about install errors from files they got at some random (and often unheard of) sites around the Internet? Don't people know that xda has all the files they could need?

SPRINT SPH_L710T stock flashable .tar for odin here!

Hey guys, I know a lot of us has been stuck with paper weights since we messed up flashing our phones thinking the L710 and L710t were the same... sooo, if you lost your imei and baseband unkown and no network and no audio and all these issues and just want to go back to stock.. you've come to the right place.
Remember this is for the sprint sph l710T .... note the T for triband lol
Step 1. Download Odin (search google)
Step 2. .tar file from here (https://mega.co.nz/#!cBBDEBpJ!t5IAcCaMg2w7GDI0zhhmZw0e7jh0Uv0v4gJpsH8gb6o)
put this in to odin in the pda section (note: if the file gives an md5 mismatch of some sort, remove (.md5) from the extension to leave the .tar)
step 3. put your phone in download mode... flash that shiiiiii, be patient and profit!
youre very welcome
BIIIGGGGG THANKS TO THESE GUYS FROM ANDROID FORUMS
Kdude63 for the link
the_dumbest_noob for actually pulling the .tar for kies to save our behinds!

yep i can verify i had to get this version cause the charging port on my phone died and according to the site it came from it should work across the board with Sprint, Boost, and Virgin Sph-L710T

I made a flashable zip that De-Odex the stock rom https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473400340 check it out if you want but read the description

Great news, thanks to all who made this happen!
I'm a novice at this, If I flash this .tar my phone will no longer be rooted, correct?

if you flash the stock tar that is provided it will erase your entire phone except for the external storage and then replace it all with whats inside of it including your recovery

I see, thanks! What then would be the benefit of flashing the deodex zip posted above? Will that allow me to uninstall bloatware? What's the purpose?

De-Odex helps for themeing and swapping out system apps that aren't from Google.....like if you want a updated Samsung app like the music player for instance

Copy that. Out of curiosity, it appears most people need this .tar because they lost their baseband / modems after installing a different rom. Wouldn't it be easier to just flash the L710T NF4 modem firmware? I downloaded it and was going to try it with a few roms that were messing with my baseband. Thoughts?

that file basically just puts the right files in on your SD card which then can be used in PhilZ via custom restore i believe....let me check into that

Will this work for SPH-L710T on Virgin Mobile?
Because this happened to my friend on her's: http://androidforums.com/threads/sph-710t-deleted-google-play-services.887991/
TLR=She deleted Google Play Services and her phone is all kinds of screwed up, factory reset didn't help the phone refresh the system file on its own, so either I need the stock .tar OR someone to upload me their Google Play Services system app (my Stratosphere II's usually works once but I think Google Play tries to update it and it fails and then all the problems start again)

So her phone wouldn't get screwed up with any kind of modem/network setting incompatibility because she's a Virgin Mobile subscriber and this was pulled from a Sprint L710T would it?

THANK YOU, her phone is back to normal and it even kept her model intact!
And now I backed up her phone (Titanium and Nandroid) right this time (to SD not internal)

flash this kernel after you flash Conquest so rotation gets fixed https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5y5w6clj...T747-TW-KK-4.4-ATT-05-13-2014 kernel.zip?dl=0

You sir, have fixed my phone.

Do you still have this TAR available? The mega.co.nz link says the file is not available. I am in this exact same predicament where I thought this phone was the same as the L710 and now... I can't get anything I try to work. Always stuck in a boot-loop and I've tried a couple ROMs. I also can't seem to find a Stock ROM anywhere!

I hate bumping an old thread, but in this case, I'm in the same predicament after flashing an OS and not having a way to update the PRL and such. The L710T TAR would be greatly appreciated.
