Hi,
My phone's earpiece stopped working so I need to send in for repair/replacement. I purchased the phone in India and it has official warranty.
Currently, the phone is running a deodexed prerooted stock rom, but I need to get back to the official non-rooted stock INDIAN rom.
I'd appreciate any guidance.
Thanks!

Hi, I've been having an issue where my phone just shows "searching" and doesn't pick up the T-Mobile network. I contacted Samsung and they've instructed me to send it back for a replacement.
The phone is rooted and I want to get it as close to stock as possible. What steps should I take to get it back to stock and remove root?
Thank You
Flash it with the stock rom, unroot.
If you just look at the roms section, its a stickied link.

About a year and a half ago, I gave my father my T999L after I upgraded the phone. Since then it appears a 4.3 update has been released and in order to use his Galaxy Gear watch that he wanted for his birthday, he needs to upgrade. He wants to stick with a stock (or stock based) ROM and I need to get it taken care of for him today. When I had the phone, I was running Dandroid. Because I rooted, installed custom recovery, etc. it reads as modified software and will not receive the OTA even though I flashed returned it to stock before I gave it to him.
Any help would be great - apparently the 4.1.2 bootloader won't work with the 4.3 ROMs? Anyone have a link to something I can just use ODIN to flash and get it all done in one step? I assume the link here can do it? Hopefully...

EDIT : Never mind, we're good. I got it figured out
So I have a new phone coming in on Wednesday and I plan on giving this S3 to my mom. Switching from Blackberry to Android is a big enough jump for her, so I'm sure she won't understand on how to work this ROM. Also, she plans on taking both our phones to Tmobile so they can transfer contacts. How can I downgrade back to stock ROM without bricking my phone? Please help! Thanks in advance.
To flash back to stock, download your current firmware, or latest firmware and flash with Odin.
I need help serious. My Note2 (7100) is stuck on 4.1.1
Here is story:

Recent i bought a N2. I was on 4.4 stock but don't know how my IMEI number got corrupted. So Samsung service center guy tried everything but failed(he was not skilled i guess) , at last he downgraded the phone to 4.1.1 and advised me not to upgrade it future.
But i want to taste custom RoM but i m still using ugly stock 4.1.1 which is so bad.
Please tell me whole procedure that i should follow to flash a Custom Rom ( like Eclipse or DN4 or anything ) and do not face IMEI corruption problem and please do remember that i m currently on 4.1.1 stock rooted.
Thanks

Well, if it was on 4.4.2 stock I doubt the downgrade to 4.1.1.
Check your bootloader version with Samsung info app from play store and let us know.

As expected - it is 4.4.2 KitKat so the attempt to "downgrade" has failed and yes, the rest of firmware is older.
It is kinda mixture and if it works for you I won't push you to change and update. There's always a little risk - I would take - and upgrade to newer kitkat for your region - get it from sammobile and flash through Odin, where are you from?

I m from India and yeah i found 4.4.2 stock for my region http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40791/N7100XXUFNL1_N7100ODDFNI1_INU/
And sorry my English is little weak. As you said it is mixture now. So is it risky to do anything with it? Also after upgrading to 4.4.2 via odin. Can i able flash custom roms? Or i better stick with stock 4.4.2?
Actually the reason why i want to upgrade is i get random reboot occasionally and 4.1.1 feel very odd since i have been on 4.4.2 earlier.

Whenever you modify your device there's still a little risk but nothing major.
This mixture you are running is definitively the reason for inconvenience - so go for a newer 4.4.2 and you'll be ready to enjoy custom roms you like.

Read this guide HERE and follow :highfive:
Concerning Samsung devices, does flashing a stock firmware clean of careers, without enabling root, void the warranty?
Flashing stock original firmware packages with odin does not trip knox, or void warranty.

Thanks :victory:
That is very reliving to know...
Because I accidentally bought a A5 2017 from a lazy career from Brazil that take too much time to liberate updates, that is when it do liberate...
So I want to flash the clean stock firmware...
Can I only find the firmware at Sammobile and such or is there some Samsung official channel?
I couldn't find at the Samsung site
I think doing a factory data reset will revert you back to a clean, stock device.

Wow, that would be better if it works this way
Anyway, for flashing another stock firmware, I have to factory reset the phone, than I will see what happens! Thank you guys ^^
Do you know how to make phone and notification volume increase and decrease together? I still couldn't find it at settings : / I'm a still a noob to Samsung things lol
Factory reset only didn't solve the question.
But flashing clean stock firmware, with odin, did it flawlessly!
Thanks guys, now I can receive ota updates exactly when they're released :victory:
I flash my stock firmware with odin fro time to time when I mess phone up doing things I should not. It will revert your phone back until the the day u purchased. It will remove root and TWRP if installed.

I am from Brazil as well and I did the same thing, bought my A5 (2017) at a mobile carrier (TIM) and it came with a custom rom, I downloaded and flashed the official stock rom from samsung. There is a problem though, the app Secure Folder does not work anymore. It says that I installed a non-authorized software. Do you know any solution?

I did not even enable it when I set up after flashing the clean stock rom, so I don't know whether I too have this issue or not. I only know that the device status is official both in the settings session of phone status and in recovery. In recovery - or download mode, can't remember exactly - there is some kind of counter on the upper left or right side, showing phone status and what I guess is the amount of times roms had been flashed or root access had been granted.
Sorry for the unclear infos, but I'm new to flashing and stuff with Samsung.
Check your phone status in those both places and wait for OTA from Samsung. If you receive OTA, that should mean your device is recognized as stock as it were with that sad TIM carrier stock rom. As soon as I set up and the home screen appeared for the firstly time, Samsung's OTA had shown up, so I was sure my device is recognized as a stock, official one, without Knox having been triggered.
Hope it helps make things clearer ^^
