Hi I installed SwapSD on my sgh-m919v Galaxy S4 from Videotron but it totally screwed up my phone.. Now I get ''mtp has stopped'' ''settings has stopped'' and ''android.process.media has stopped'' each time I start the phone. I've been looking for the stock rom for my specific model (SGH-M919V) for hours but can't find it anywhere. I tried using SGH-M919 stock rom but it won't work even if I strictly follow the guide, ODIN tells me FAIL!! (Auth).. Could someone upload the stock rom for that specific model somewhere and give me the link please ?
I attached a screen capture from odin to show you what problem i get
Thank you

Not sure if you got what you needed but you can take the phone back to stock using Samsung Kies, just plug the phone in download mode select "tools" then "Firmware upgrade and initialization", input your phones info and off you go..
if you could also grab the rom downloaded by Kies and uploaded for us that'd be cool.

Unfortunately reverting back to stock with Kies has not worked for me either with that method.
Hopefully the stock firmware for this carrier will drop soon!

I too would like the stock firmware for this device before I start tinkering with it.
I am surprised however that odin fails while flashing the sgh-m919 firmware. I thought these devices were essentially the same.
Have you fixed your phone yet, and how so?

I've soft bricked my phone and would really appreciate a stock m919V firmware. I've installed a bad kernel and/or rom and even the partitions are all screwed up. Nothing to do without a m919v odin flashable image.
Anybody?

Sent in a request to samfirmware.com & samsung-updates.com to post the firmware. Hoping that they consider the request.
Maybe you could do the same? I'm not asking to spam them, but I suppose it'll have an impact if there's more than 1 person requesting the firmware.

So, in my last post, I had mentioned that I had contacted samfirmware.com to post the stock firmware. They've responded to my request and already uploaded the firmware!

Good luck flashing it back to stock and reviving your S4.
Awesome. I'm downloading right not, but since I'm not a paid member on hotfile I'll only know in an hour if it works. I'll keep everybody posted, hopefully I'll be able to flash it with odin.
I'm also wondering what the no-name firmware on sammobile is. They posted the videotron, wind, and mobilcity firmwares. Is the no-name one unbranded? We'll have to wait and see.
So I downloaded the videotron firmware and it worked. Everything is back.
I'll try the unbranded version to see what it does.
Did you install the stock firmware using the stock recovery?

I believe he would have flashed the stock firmware using Odin for Windows. At least that's how it is normally done.
I just downloaded the videotron firmware from the website, I didn't flash the recovery. It's .md5 format, so I've flashed it with Odin. The phone was on CWM recovery, but it doesn't really matter as the firmware flashes the stock recovery too.
So I just flashed the videotron image in odin, phone rebooted and everything is fine, I'm back to stock, including no root and stock recovery. The only thing that's still there is the fact that phone is unlocked. (I've used the method described in the forum to unlock it).
As for the other firmware, it has _ESK in the name. I'm 99.9999% sure it's Eastlink firmware, another mobile carrier in Canada. The other ones had _VTR and so on in their name.
thanks for the info
Hotfile is down
I'm looking for a factory image of any of the MDJ builds.... Hotfile is down so I can't get it... does anybody have a copy that they would be willing to upload for me.... I need it so I can reset and sell this phone ASAP to get christmas money. Thanks

It should be clean of any personal data; I had just rooted it via SuperOneClick and installed Busybox and then pulled the backup. I'll upload it to multiupload tomorrow and post the link.
EDIT: Looks like it does contain some stuff. If I ever have to restore it, I'll do a factory reset and pull a clean dump and post it. So for now, if anyone wants pieces of the original firmware, minus the data partition, let me know and I'll upload those pieces.

Did you ever get the rom? I would like to go back to ATT rom if I can. The one clubtech posted unfortunately did not work for me. I think it does need a pit file, but which one? I have no idea.
I repeat the rom posted here DID NOT work for me. Blank screen with the tab vibrating every 10 secs or so. I was fortunate enough to get it back into download mode to go back to jjk5.
Looking for a stock ATT rom thanks.
can we just ask AT&T to reflash our devices or do we need t send them to Samsung if we want original version again?

I believe if you tell AT&T you've flashed it with anything other than an officially released firmware, they'll tell you to pound sand, and that your warranty is void.

I do have the rotobackup that I pulled from my SGT prior to flashing to JJ4/JK5, but I didn't do a factory wipe before I pulled the files, and thus there is personal data in some of the files. I'd rather not distribute my Gmail login info, which I'm positive is stored in there since I accessed the Market.
You might be able to flash all of the files I have, minus the dbdata partition (maybe substitute the one from clubtech?) and maybe that would work? I'd defer to someone more knowledgeable though, like Roto. I'm not even sure the efs partition should be shared, as there's IMEI info in there.

As expected, it worked, BUT:
It boots up blank, no splash screen.
Recovery is also blank, making it hard to navigate lol
Other than that, it works fine. Its good enough for return purposes or to grab files off and then flash back to JME.
Hmm, my guess than is the other one worked too then.
Any idea on why this boots up blank? Hopefully someone will grab this rom before flashing.
Not sure how you navigate a blank screen. Will give it a shot.
Thanks again.

Funny, I actually got a samsung splash screen, but nothing else! Nothing! Blank after that. Same as the one clubtech provided.
I can get back to d/l screen but thats it. Can't see or do anything else
I've had issues trying to go back to stock AT&T after a full JMA flash, I ended up using all the files from my rotobackup minus the zImage because of the signed bootloaders...
So you got it to work? Could you post the files you used. Thanks
I believe the one from rotohammer are actually from my stock backup. (He hosted them for me) You can double check by checking topics I've posted, one of them is a stock AT&T dump I did.
Basically my configuration right now is JMA pbl sbl and kernel and the rest is AT&T stock. Flashing back the zImage from my backup didn't work if I'm remembering correctly.

hi,
I had a t-mobile phone from the netherlands... I flashed the XXUAME2 stock firmware over it and now my wifi and phone app don't work.
wifi just wont turn on... if I press it... it doesn't lit... it is immediatly turned off again... and if I want to call someone or someone tries to call me... the phone app crashes... black screen... can't do anything for 2 minutes...then the phone starts to flip.
is it because of the firmware? should I try flashing a t-mobile firmware for the netherlands?
HEEEELP PLS been this way for 2 days...

I would definitely flash the firmware for your region. Firmware includes the modem and you need the correct one for where you are.

You need to flash the stock modem/radio image file for the wifi and cellular phone to work again.

You need to find out your phone's model #, if you have the i9500, i9505 or the M919 handset.
Which ever handset you have you need to flash the same model's modem/radio image.
You flash the one which matches and is intended for your phones model #.
If your phone is a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 then you need the modem/radio file for i9505/
Good luck!

The phone does not power on. If I remove the battery while it's plugged in the charge light comes on for about 40 seconds but that's the only sign of life at the moment. That is why I need a 4.3 debrick image so I can try and make it boot from the external SD card.
Can you get inyo download mode? Volume down+power+home. If so see if odin will see the phone. If odin see's it you should be able to flash the stock .Tar file.

Yeah you need someone to dump it for you. You can extract it from the tar.
But people have stated that they could not get their devices to boot even after using the debrick method, when they bricked by trying to downgrade.

Our problem is identical dave74x. I have been trying to find this image too. But no luck. I'm hoping someone that upgraded like us hasn't been savvy enough to not try flashing anything crazy. All we can do is wait. Good luck dave74x
Edit: If CNexus can find someone that successfully rooted the stock 4.3 OTA and have them make a dump for us/each of us (depending on memory size in your phone).
Anyone?? I can't believe no one has a 4.3 debrick image or is willing to dump one. IMPORTANT... If you updated to 4.3 and you tried to flash back and bricked then you will need a 4.3 debrick image, nothing else will work!!

The problem is that everyone waited because of KNOX and has CNexus's un-KNOX'ed ROM without the 4.3 bootloader. Then the people that did update to the OTA haven't been able to root or get SuperSU/Super User to work at all. I'm going to try other forum sites and i suggest you do the same dave74x.
This thread can be closed. I just bought a used motherboard for it and all is back to normal now.. Thanks!!

I am not Android expert, but have followed many guides here. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860 forum where gTan64 has done this work on other files and he has the code posted to do that in the first post. Make sure you click "Show" button.
gTan64 has attempted to extract first 70 mb or so only. I have read that due to knox, 4.3 does not work. Just for kicks, if you can extract the file might as well try out different sizes and try. If you can extract the image, and it works, please post it here. Many others would be interested in that too.
Hi,
My phone is samsung galaxy note 2 N7100
I bricked my phone when rooting with odin. And now I can only enter the download model, any other is not available. I am not really sure how bad this situation is and I would like to try this method firs (thttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154890). However, I cannot download the recovery package/rom required by that method, link provided has gone.
So if anyone know where I can find this recovery package/rom (a zip including different file like PIT, CSC, MODEM, BOOTLOADER, CODE... ) for my N7100?
Or is there other ways to get my phone back?
I am really desperate now and any thoughts will be appreciated!
Thanks

Thanks, and I know this thread but I miss the recovery package/rom mentioned there for GT-N7100, cause the link provided there has gone.
Thank you though!

Did you flash 4.1.2 ? or greater? Try Samsung galaxy note 2 kit.. If you are able to enter the download mode, thats good.. you can flash using Odin or Heimdall. There are many rooted roms that will get you through. Dr Ketans has solutions. Try loading a stock rom from SAmmobile
Let me search for few links and post it from XDA devs

I actually have several roms in hand and I tried
1 Pre-Rooted Stock ROMs Samsung Latest Sammy NA dr.ketan
2 N7100 Odin STOCK leaked 4.3 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466405)
Neither can get me through, seconds after start of flashing, it fails.
So I worry a little about my situation...
But I will keep trying and thank you!

Thank you bro, my phone is back. I think the problem might be odin3.07, cause I changed to odin1.3, flash stock 4.3 rom, it went through!

Cool.. Thats nice
I have spent days looking, turn on goes to kies firmware screen yet when i put in the model and s/n it shuts and the new samsung app to replace kies is of no help. I can get to the download screen and odin shows it up but no ATT 10.5 Tab S Sm-T807A firmware ANYWHERE.
Please help this is a very very expensive paperweight and im not affiliated with ATT so them helping me is out of the question.

They dont have it for the SM-T807A
0 Results found
You searched for "sm-t807a"
It would better if you just explain what state the tablet is in and how it got to that state.
There is no official software for the t807a.
OK here how it goes,
The tablet was completely fine.
The original owner ( a family member) tried to root it and didnt accomplish it, somehow through his process it ended up softbricked.
I can enter he download mode for odin but no firmware for this LTE model.
When I turn it on it goes to the kies screen but kies doesnt recognize it, and when I enter the serial it buffers for 2 seconds then closes the process of kies.
Also it says device isnt supported and yes I have installed the right drivers and uninstalled kies numerous times.
The new replacement prog for Kies (forgot the name) is no help either.
Im terrified of what to do next as it does go to the odin screen just no firmware as I stated.
Any update, or could someone upload the stock firmware so i can use Odin on it.
Samsung told me ATT can flash it for free onto it so its deff a possibility however I do not have a ATT account so they cant help me.
It doesn't boot because the stock recovery has been wiped/replaced.
Thats assuming you have tried to boot recovery?
The att models are all bootloader locked.
I'm surprised a bootloader locked device even allowed an unsigned image to flash or did they use something like flashify?
The stock ota update was posted by someone here a while back. Your only chance is to pull the recovery from it and try and flash it in download mode. However odin may refuse to flash it.
If I can find it I can pull out the recovery.img and post a modified cf_autoroot which will try and flash the original recovery, that's if odin will even accept the image.
I was used with something like kingroot.

this i would highly appreciate as the firmwares not deleted just corrupted.
i have searched the whole web.
here is the link to the pulled stock sm-t807a files from a xda member

PowerfulJY, any successfull update with your SM-T807A journey?
I have the same problem as you, and Odin refuses to flash your firmware files

The images won't flash as they are raw unsigned images.
The update should contain a signed recovery image, but may still not flash with odin as the tar package you make will not be signed either and odin may refuse to flash
There may be a way though, another member managed to brick their device by flashing twrp using Heimdall, but couldn't then flash back the stock recovery with Heimdall.
If somehow the stock recovery can be forced to flash with Heimdall then there's a chance of unbricking the device.
I worked just flashed the FW part through AP did it on a friends pc all is back to new.
if you need a link for the ripped files just pm me.
also odin was used.

Unfortunately, Heimdall shows the same behaviour as Odin has.
AFAIK they are using the same protocol and seems that recovery CRC/sign check done via device internally, not via flashing tool.

Did you use command line or gui?
I used GUI, i didnt do the bootloader or choose any special clickies, I simply tried another pc with the same FW and it flashed in a hearbeast with PASS.
USB hubs are the devil, TRY EVERY USB PORT YOU HAVE
Kies sucks so does the new one.
any issues PM me and ill set you straightm any public questions ask away.
You have to download the IMG files and use the IMG to TAR app, I will provide a ZIP with all tars included but I assure you dont start ****ing around with bootloader images stick to AP.
AT&T is he devil.
The new Rockstar Whipped Strawberry OWNS, Oraneg Creme is Meh.

The gui question was for synphonica about Heimdall.
Are you saying you flashed the images with odin? Which version and which images?
This has been tried before and failed.
Also what do you mean you tried a pc with the same firmware, same firmware as what?
I'm new to rooting so be gentle, I just bought a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 sm-t807a (AT&T) with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. I want to backup the stock ROM (firmware) so I can go back just in case I bricked it when rooting or installing custom ROM. I searched the web but there are no clear instruction on how to do it for an unrooted sm-t807a. Can someone provide me with a step-by-step instruction? I can share my backup of the stock ROM afterward since there does not seem to be one on the web. Thank you in advance for your help.

You can only root with Kingroot, don't try any other method or you'll brick it nor can you install a custom kernel or recovery.
Once you have root you can pull the partition images with EFS PRO or PARTITION BACKUP.
The best way to have a back up is to catch the stock Firmware update.
This is tricky so research how to do it.
There is one backup I know of:
