Just use this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737848
The LG1 rom is the latest for AT&T G3. The second one in the thread is stock from initial release I believe. Download and flash. Since it's stock, it won't bump your counter. Will lose root though.

Uuuh, those roms are straight from Samsung Kies (their official roms). They are safe. I have used it to ditch root and go back to my stock kernel prior to flashing new custom roms. They are official roms from Samsung. If you want to get them from Samsung directly, install more bloatware on your pc (Kies). Have fun.
I really don't care about a few apps being there (even if I don't use it).. So are u saying that if I install either one of the three (in the green box in the picture) I should be fine? Do u happen to know why they have different numbers in them?

Nope. I got my stock roms from the thread I sent you. Use the thread. Like I said, they are official roms straight from Samsung. It wouldn't be a main sticky on the development forum if it wasn't legit. Or you can just download Kies from the Samsung.com website and use that to flash newer stock roms to your phone. Or you can pull your hair out wondering which one to use until someone who knows their serial scheme to answer it better than I can.. The choice is yours. Chances are, anyone else would just link to that same thread I sent you already anyway. I've used them and they are just fine. I keep the latest stock on my ext_sd for backup just in case, which I downloaded from that thread. Works like a charm every time I have flashed it to go back to stock.
If you are already rooted and just trying to get back to stock to take your phone back for warranty, I also suggest you look into the app Triangle Away. Just do a forum search, it's in the development section. It resets your flash counter to zero. You will want to do that *before* you unroot. Assuming you've already rooted. Since I don't know your situation, I can only offer some suggestions. Hope this all helped.
Hehe.. Thanx for replying so elaborately. I have indeed tried the ROM posted on the thread earlier to go back to stock from CM10. They do wrk fine indeed. I just thought I'd get it from the official Site. That's all. I'm a little new to this but not a uber noob

No worries, everyone here was new to Android and flashing at some point as well. I completely understand you wanting to make sure what you are about to flash to your $500 phone is clean and safe. I have used the roms linked from that thread from the samsung-updates.com website myself with no problems. Anyone else here on XDA will tell you the same thing, they are safe and straight from Samsung Kies.
Question .
I downloaded one of the original stock rom from the link , currently I'm rooted but if i wanted to go back to stock how would I do it?
Flash the file i just downloaded ? How with CWM? Odin? this part is what's confusing me.
Thanks if anyone can explain , I guess I mainly want to know how to go back to stock and how to unroot.
1st Download the Triangle away app and reset ur flash counter if it's not zero already.
2nd Put ur phone in download mode(volume down+home+power button) and use Odin to flash the Stock ROM from your computer.
3rd This should have removed all root from your phone. But do go into settings-> About device->Status->Device status(in ur phone) . If it still shows 'modified', goto recovery menu(volume up+home+power button) and do a factory wipe.
Ur good to go after that.

I thought when u flashed Stock ROM with Odin, it flashes the kernel and modem too? At least when u flash it with mobile Odin it happens by default.

I did check the 'about device' to see if there is anything that'll help me narrow it down(before you even replied). Yes, it helped me narrow it down to the green box in the picture.
Before you type some random **** like this why dont you check it out on your phone and give a reply. Let me know if you find out anything useful.
At the risk of sounding like an ass, did you look under the battery?

yes i did check under the battery. All it says is SGH-i747.
Only thing left i can think to do would be to call the number listed for further assistance
Edit
Look under your battery again. Notice under the imei barcode. You see 2 letters there? Mine was mb. That might have something to do with it. Might not.

Wow..good catch. I thinks that's it. Its just two letters printed just like that not part of anything else. Mine is RW. Dont know what the difference b/w them are though. Thanks again. :good:
Update:
Called them up. Its all the same...the MB,RW and ZR refers to the different colors.
MB refers to Pebble blue
RW refers to Marble White
and ZR refers to Garnet red.
I'm sorry, I might be in the wrong forum but since there's no ONE XL lol. So I bought this ONE XL from Hong Kong and I'm in Mexico. I got the phone and everything was great until it prompted me to update my software so I clicked yes, it updated to 4.1 something with sense 4+ and then it prompted me to update again so I clicked yes. Thing is it updated to 4.2.2 with sense 5. Everything was good until I realized I could access my phone as storage divice so I can't transfer file in or out of it. There is no CONNECT TO PC option. And another thing, it erased the SPANISH phone language (i need it because i share the phone with my gf). So I did some research and found out about morelocale 2 which would allow me to add Spanish back again but turns out I need SU access. So I thought it would be much easier to just flash a rom and use something with 4.0.3 again. The phone was already sim-unlocked and with S-OFF so all I did was unlock the bootloader but when I flash a recovery like clorckwork or twrp it goes to a white HTC SCREEN LOGO and in red letters thes this "this build is made for development purposes only...." and then it reboots like 3 times and starts the phone up normal again. Anyone knows what can I do? Or what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Sorry about the long explanation.
There is HTC one XL forum. (AT&T, Rogers) go there
And yes jellybean doesn't support UMS anymore, only MTP.

I'm sorry, I just found it too. Thanks though. But still, does anyone have the same problem? How do you transfer files back and forth? And if I flash it back to 4.0.3, will that solve my problem? Thanks.

Hello, I've tried to download stock ROM but apparently HotFile is down.
Can anybody upload to google drive? or find a working link, really need this.
Thanks!
Did you try a google search? Just make sure what you find is for this phone.
There is a rooted stock in Dev section that is not on hot file.
After you get it... Might wanna do a nandroid backup of it... Then you'll always have it ready if you need it.

So, on Thursday I picked up an LG G3 from Verizon. I was absolutely loving it. But like most people, I wanted custom ROM's and roots and all the fun stuff you can do with android phones. I rooted my device the day I got it with IORoot. Everything is working fine at this point.
After this, i wanted a custom ROM. I found that there wasn't many for my specific model, but i did see the Sphinx G3 Neo ROM. I payed no attention to what variant it was for and loaded it up on my phone. At first, everything was working perfectly and it was butter smooth. But then I noticed whatever messaging app I tried to use would not work. I did a factory reset and then did the same process to load Sphinx on my G3. This time, messages were working, however, mobile data was not. I finally had enough of this and decided to return to the stock ROM. I found all of the stock files and was attempting to use the TOT method. I put the phone in download mode (which it won't come out of btw) and tried to start flashing. I then realized what I had done and saw that my device was reading something like D855. So when I downloaded the Verizon files it wont work. But will I be able to fix this? Have any of you had this problem before? This phone is brand new and I cannot replace it at this point. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out.
Hi,
So sad to hear that. Have you tried TOT files from this thread?
I hope your imei is intact.

I don't it is bricked per say. I do believe that the only way to solve the problem will be to do as you were trying, return it to stock with .tot files, you just need to find some information which I did see in the threads somewhere with regards to getting out of download mode.
Once you get that done and flash back to stock, then you can root again, I would suggest using Stump root, and the unlock the bootloader with Bump, and this would be a good time to make a backup with the recovery TWRP.
Be calm and read as much as possible, I hope you sort it out. Good luck.

Good Morning Everyone!!!
First off I would like to say sorry if i am posting this under the wrong section but i was not able to find a section for the Gpad 7.0 (if it is can a mod please move) So back to my dilemma here well I hard brick my New LG GPad from sprint a few days ago and I cannot get this thing up and running mainly because of the lack of availability of files (No KDZ, No TOT) so im wondering is someone on the forums who owns a WORKING Sprint LG GPad F7.0 (LGLK430) would be able to send me a copy of a backup of the device from QPST in the QCN format so that i can try to restore my device that way. Or if someone has one of the lg firmware files preferably the TOT or the hex files for QPST (None of the ones i have found online seem to be compatible with this device) that would work aswell. I know alor of people are going to say " Why dont you just take it back to sprint?" and I dont want to do this because i enjoy working with my devices and leaning new things and correcting my mistakes, taking the tablet back will be like my last resort. So sorry for the long post but i just wanna say thanks in advance to anyone who can help out
Hi! I don't have your device but if I might make a suggestion. Google for lg_imei_checker_2014_b1, enter your device's IMEI and see if the IMEI checker will provide a download for a KDZ for your device. Good luck!
Hello, Thank you for the response unfortunately i have already tried this method and there does not seem to be one publicly available and i say that because this website gaodi.net seems to have the TOT and KDZ but i was not able to get an account setup or meet the requirement due to unknown errors

Don't wanna mislead people. I'm not an experienced guy. I dumpped the stock recovery following the instruction in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-pad-10/general/dev-thread-lg-g-pad-7-0-8-0-10-1-t2838995). But, I'm not sure if I did it correctly and is this the file to save your pad from not booting or how to do it. The bottom line is that I don't wanna make it worse.
So, if you know what you're doing and you can tell from the file that it is exactly what you are looking for, PM me and I'll send you the link. Otherwise, I suggest you may get help from someone knows about compile stuff.

I'm not sure if you got my PM, but I do know exactly what I need. That is the stock recovery.img for the LG G Pad F 7.0 LK430 (which is the Sprint variant).
I made the mistake of attempting to install TWRP for a different version of the G Pad back when I originally bought the device. Now I have no recovery.img and cannot factory reset. If you have extracted the recovery.img from your stock LK430, that would indeed help me and I would greatly appreciate it.

I want to install Xposed but I have no way of backing up my device since Nandroid doesn't support it! I rather have to go back to factory than be stuck with a brick should anything go horribly wrong.
