I can`t find the stock recovery for Samsung galaxy S4 active gt-i9252
I`d appreciate a quick reply here as I have to ship it back to Samsung on Sunday morning.
I bought the device 3 weeks ago and it has been freezing daily ever since.
Now I want to send it back for replacement and I`m afraid leaving the CWM I have installed might void my warranty. I was given to understand the only way to uninstall CWM it is to flash via odin the stock recovery. I`ve uninstalled root and I`m running on the stock rom.
If anyone has any other idea how to go about it, or can point me to where I can download the stock recovery, I`d be very thankful!
Hi guys, I have had my Galaxy note 2 I317 for only 7 weeks now with the 4.3 update. A couple days after I had it, I rooted the phone. However, 2 weeks ago, the sim card reader stopped working. I contacted samsung since I was still under warranty and they told me to send the phone so they can fix now. Now while trying to unroot it, I flashed it using the wrong stock firmware. I used 4.1 instead of 4.3 firmware. Now the phone is stuck to the Samsung logo and I am so depressed. I need help finding the 4.3 stock firmware and telling me exactly what to do in order to unroot the phone, reset the binary count to zero, so that i can be able to send the phone to Samsung to be fixed.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can find Stock 4.3 ROM here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891
If you can go into recovery mode you can flash "AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock CWM Note 2" from recovery mode.
If not you can go into download mode and then flash "AT&T UCUBMK6 i317 *Odexed* Stock ODIN Note 2"
Also, if you want you can flash bootloaders too.
Two days ago i bought Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 (international). It had android 4.1.2 but i saw there is available update. After update to official android 4.3 my phone lost signal and started showing me "Not registered on network". 1 day passed since i am searching how to fix this thing. Tried custom rom (4.4.2) and still the same. I went back to official 4.3 for UK O2 , successfully rooted it, passed knox, installed busybox, installed ARIZA Patch. Still the same. Tried to flash MJ5 bootloader via ODIN but it shows me FAIL. And after every FAIL my phone is bricked so i am flashing all over again official ROM. I have NO backups of my EFS (in my search i saw that i need some EFS to repair this thing). I got no issue with WI-FI but only with network. If i revert back to stock android 4.1.2 will i be able to call somebody? If the answer is "YES", would somebody tell me how? I saw in some threads that with new 4.3 ROM note 2 got knox locked bootloader which is impossible to be downgraded. Please, give me guide step by step what to do to repair my phone by myself. Thank you in advance.
I would suggest you to take an efs backup on 4.1. Then flash 4.3 and if you aren't getting network try restoring your efs backup. That might solve your problem.
Hello,
So I have the 4.4.2 Galaxy Note sgh-i467, it is stuck in the recovery mode,
I've been trying for some time already to contact Samsung to have some help with the device no luck, they ask me to go to USA or ship it to them for the fix. I have tried a few methods I found here on the forums but no luck with them also, maybe I missed something, basically my question is : was someone able to recover from 4.4.2 to a working tablet ?

I had the same problem and tried Kies and Odin as nothing else seemed apparent. Kies 2.6 would download the 4.4.2 update and show almost finished on the green bar indicator in download mode then Kies would freeze up on my Windows 7 computer and I'd have to end task on it and restart the tablet. There doesn't seem to be a KitKat ROM on sammobile or anywhere else I could find. I did find a thread in the development forum that I've since lost where a senior XDA developer had indicated he'd put in a request with Samsung's executive level of support to get a copy of the 4.4.2 ROM. I tried using Odin to flash the JellyBean image from sammobile, but that's what had caused my table to get stuck in recovery mode in the first place, so it didn't work. I've flashed plenty of ROMs on my GS4, so I'm no stranger to Odin but you seemingly can't go back to JB from KK thanks to the locked bootloader that comes along with it.
I was lucky in that I'm in the U.S. and could bring the Note 8 to my local Best Buy's Samsung Experience kiosk. After my fourth visit to the third Best Buy, I finally found a guy who reloaded the Note 8.0 with the 4.4.2 ROM. It's back up and running now with the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Charcaroth I wish I could hit that thanks button a hundred times. The Samsung Experience Center @ Best Buy fixed my Note 8.0 that was hopeless just as you said.
Thanks for going above & beyond with your help via private message!
I have an AT&T Note II from the US and I currently live in the Republic of Georgia. I bought it from a friend when my Nokia workhorse finally died after 8 years.
Friend told me about the situation up front and I found that the it was a pretty simple solution, punch in some numbers, get through a couple menus then no prob... except the phone was 4.4.2 and not 4.1.1.
Looked online for a good 4 days and finally decided against my better wishes to try to flash to 4.1.1. Got it done but it got stuck on the pulsating Samsung screen for a ton of time. I made the fateful mistake of pulling the battery to restart it.
It is unresponsive except for a frozen empty battery gif that generally appears before the charging batter gif appears when you connect it to a charger.
Phone will not go into DL or Recovery mode.
Plz help
Where did you get 4.1.1 and how did you flash it?
Try leaving it in the charger for a few hours and try to get into download mode.
I looked in a lot of different places and had troubles getting the file. I encountered a lot of dead links or file sharing sites that had ad loops. After about the 5th or 6th site I found KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user _low_ship.tar.md5 . but I dont recall from where exactly.
I popped it in using Odin as instructed by the many guides that are on the internet.
I am now able to get it to boot through all four splash screens (Note II -> samsung -> AT&T -> samsung) and now it is stuck on the pulsating Samsung for as long as I allow it.
Any tips on what to do next?
Was the phone factory reset after flashing with Odin?
If the phone was running a 4.3 or newer bootloader, flashing an older bootloader or an incompatible bootloader/modem combination can hard brick the phone.
Att never released a full firmware for the phone after 4.1.1 so you need to be selective as to what can be safely flashed.
You need to find a flashable stock kk ROM.
I was able to get a 4.4.2 and reflash it to the original state. It is still SIM locked though.
If the phone is an sgh-i317 and it is not running 4.1.1, you'll have to unlock using a code from either the carrier or an unlocker.
There is no free method.
Im in Georgia and never used the said carrier so their support is reluctant to help me.. I tried flashing the 4.1.1 and that soft bricked it in the first place. Do you know of any good unlock software?
I don't know of any free software to unlock the phone.
Did you ask for an unlock code here: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/request/#/unlockstep1
Another way is to buy an unlock code from eBay.
