So I've had some experiences with flashing Roms. So anyway I need help.
1. Can I revert to stock via odin.
2.Can anything go wrong
3. I had a experience with restoring backups when I had no Imei and Baseband and I'm wondering if that is common

1. yes
2. normally not if you take all precautions and follow instructions properly !! however sometimes things don't go according to plan and yes something can go wrong and sometimes very wrong..but chances are rare if you know what you r doing
3. if you flash ROMs which override your current modem then you need to backup your IMEI prior and after for each ROM I guess....according to one experienced forum member..see his thread below

Do a efs back up and nandroid back up, and write down your current offiacial stock ROM, so that when you want to revert, you know what ROM to download. Just sayin
Sent from my GT-N7100
ROM: ARHD 19
KERNEL: Stock
for question no 2, avoid complicated method and choose the most simple method to root your phones. the simplest and safe root method for newer models would be cf auto root i guess. you could also use unlockroot pro,but have to purchase it.
Thanks. I'm just really unsure because a few months ago I flashed Crash rom what corrupt my Imei and my SD card so I lost my backup. Since then I'm just pretty skeptical

Us you can always go back to your stock rom through Odin. It may get worse if you a flash a corrupt rom, otherwise it will be alright. So download the official rom from Samsung-updates.com

Do I need to root my phone to flash Stock roms via Odin? I want to flash the Stock rom and I wonder if it gonna lose the IMEI? thanks guys
Nope. But you do need root to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. There may be another method but im not familiar with it at the moment.
Anyway you can easily dl one of the stock firmwares from samfirmware.com and install using odin. Provided you just want pure stock.
And you shouldn't have to worry about losing your imei flashing stock with odin. I dont recall that ever hapoening. Besides, imei issues have been solved. Just check the dev section for info.

thanks for your reply
btw, I'm on stock with latest Tmo update now. Let say I want to flash stock without that update (stock before the update). how does it change my stock recovery? is the recovery still the stock with latest Tmo update?
I dont really understand how the stock recovery works. after I apply the update, is the update applied to the stock recovery too?
As far as I am aware it will rewrite your stock recovery back to whatever version you are installing as well. So long as you use odin and a full firmware file from Samsung.

I have two t-mobile galaxy s3. when I go to Settings / About Device one of them has Baseband version T999UVLH2 and when I do Software Update it says that it is up to date. The other one is Baseband version T999UVLG1. When I do Sofware Update it says it's not up to date, and downloads update, and then tells me to reboot but after rebooting it fails to update it, and so it reverts back.
What could be the problem that it can't update it - might it be that I rooted the device and I have put the clockworkmod reocvery?
Yes, that's the problem. You have to have stock recovery to update.
Why not just flash a stock rooted Rom, since you have cwm?

How would I flash a stock ROM, using odin? Where would I find the stock ROM? And can I still remain rooted?
Sorry for these basic questions, I am very new to smart phone and android.

Look in the development section of this phone. There are stickied threads that go over the basics.

You could just download Rom manager, also. And, flash from there, as well.

Aerowinder, thanks for your reply.
Rooting - I have rooted the phone. That is was not problem. It worked after rooting. It is after the Restore that it is having the problem.
What am I suppose to do
Reset to factory default? I can't do that cause I can't get to settings. In fact I cant get to anything.
I just rooted my S3 a few minutes ago, and I'm really new to all of this. I'd really like to not brick my phone so I'm going to play it safe.
As far as ROM's go, if you install a custom ROM how do you go back to stock? Also, if you want to install a new ROM and you have a custom one installed, what do you do to insure that you won't install the ROM over the one you have?
What do kernels do? And how do you install/flash them?

Use qbkings videos
But to go back to stock you would flash a backup you made before every Rom flash and to keep things nice and clean you always clear data and cache

Alright, so in order to restore stock I'd have to backup my phone in CWM, then restore it later for stock?

Does it need to be restored to stock in order for the 4.1.1 update to install correctly?

Yes... But there are going to be like 5 or 6 custom roms that are all going to be JB based, most will have even more features than "stock"... So, I suggest and invite you into the development threads...

If you wanted stock jelly bean when it comes out, yes you'll need stock recovery to install a ota update. But if you decide to run a custom rom, then the developer should update it to 4.1.1 soon after the official ota comes out.
Or the developer may update their rom to a leaked version of 4.1.1.
Either way there is always a way to get back to stock outta the box via Odin and go about updating the long way, unless you hard brick your phone.

If you want stock jb when It comes out you can just flash a Rom that is stock jellybean or a super customized version either way

Hi all,
I just bought a Note 2 N7105 today, and I was looking over and reading all of the rooting methods, but I couldn't find one with an easy unroot option.
I'd need this just to be able to unroot incase I need to send it in for service repair.
Can anyone recommend me a guide I should follow for the N7105?
Thanks in advance!
Drketan has several very good guides and mskips toolkit is what I used. I believe this also advises how to unroot.
You do know a rooted phone shouldn't invalidate your warranty, unless of course the rooting caused the issue, right?

Super su offers a full unroot option but remember to run triangle away first before you unroot

I was hoping to put the Pegasus kernel on to the phone, but I was worried that if I needed to go back to stock kernel etc, I couldn't since I can't take a backup of my current setup. Is there any way to backup my current stock kernel and ROM?
I'm currently running:
GT-N7105
Android 4.1.2
Baseband: N7105BVDMF2

Yes there is. Just boot into recovery and look for backup to external sd card. Thats it
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I think I phrased it badly - my fault!
I meant backup my current stock firmware and kernel, which means I have stock recovery and there is no backup option, only to reboot, update via adb, update via external sd, and the wipe cache +wipe data factory reset options.
Simply download the stock rom from Sammobile and you can reflash it as and when needed of course it will take you back to factory settings.
Or once rooted and you have twrp installed perform a nandroid back up.
I don't know how to perform a back up before you root.

Hello,
Have a Tmobile Note 3 N900T Running the UCNB4 4.4.2 Version of Android.
I have Baseband, however, after Region Unlocking, (Rooted), I do not have an imei#. Says Unknown, and 00 (Imeisv).
Want to restore.
Have read that a few different ways may work?
1) Flash File Mentioned Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53032145
(Can I flash with Safestrap, or Must I flash with Odin under CP?)
2) Delete Efs Partion, and Reset (Factory or Just Reboot?)
3) Reflash entire Stock Rom via Odin, and Start Over, - Question is will it restore imei#?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated folks!
Be well.
Had another thought, or question.
Could I flash the zip with the stock recovery, by renaming to "update.zip" and flashing in stock recovery (apply update from external ad card)?
Or, is the best way to accomplish this, flashing stock firmware via Odin? And if so, where is the best spot to download same?

So, just flash it over with Odin, and that may or should correct my problem?
