[Q] Will I lose root or twrp if I flash stock ROM?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Yes and yes.

Damnit. What about if I flash a custom tw ROM? I just want to get back to tw with root and use my Bluetooth

They always come pre-rooted and never contain a recovery. So that should work for you.

hey guys, same question but i was wandering if i flash stock rom using twrp, would my booloader be locked?
I am trying to reset my flash counter to 0 so my allshare cast dongle works. btw triangle away didnt work. it goes to 1.

TriangleAway works fine. Your bootloader will not be locked.

Bootloader stays unlocked.

The bootloader on the T999 was never locked. Using any program to unlock the bootloader will brick the phone.

Hello guys. I have a CM on my phone but I'd like to go back to the stock rom, flash the stock recovery and unroot my phone. I just want to clean my phone e make it come back as it has never been modified. How can I do that?

Get the official firmware for your country. Download ODIN and ancora.ops and flash it. Now everything is as it was before you started playing with custom roms. Check the development and general sections here on xda for howtos.

Not exactly. You need to reset the flash counter too.

I thought our phone does not have a flash counter.. At least not counting..... There was a big discussion about it somewhere where the conclusion was that our phone does not count the flashes.

Ok, so I must have missed this discussion. Never cared about the counter because I only used Odin a few times atz the beginning. But someone who is concerned about warranty also have to care about there is a counter or not.

So have I to do just what is said in the first answer?

Yes, simply flash it with Odin. There is a counter but it doesn´t count, so nothing to worry about.
Else take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294473&highlight=flash+counter

Where can I find the italian firmware?

I would odin flash back to 4.2 to avoid Knox if you don't have it already. Sounds like you were already flashing custom Roms.

I needed to go back to stock to send back with fault.

How do I fix wifi?
How do I fix the modified message?
UK phone, baseband is still uamf5 does that make a difference with wifi?

Reflash AGAIN same rom . Your baseband did not update and your status remained custom
U don`t need repartition
U must reflash 2 3 times until your baseband get updated. After that factory reset your phone and your status will be Official

Well, finally we have got KitKat and so I may ask, why you want to go back?
If you want to run 4.3 custom roms, no need to downgrade, go ahead and flash.

People are saying you can't flash back to 4.3 from 4.4.2, which is partially true.
Even when you flash the 4.3 firmware, you will still have 4.4.2 bootloader.
However, if you are not really fussed about the mini details, just flash it like you would normally with Odin,
then when there are problems with wifi, use custom kernels to fix it.
Otherwise, flash 4.3 then use a nand backup to restore (if you have it).

What custom kernel should I chose to fix the WiFi problem?

odin

Just using odin 1.85 to flash back to 4.3 stock rom. Remember to wipe data/cache before flash
I hope this can help.
