Hi All,
I just wanted to come back to complete 100% warranty from my current rom using CWM flashable zip file. Even after reading so many forums, I couldn't find an all-in-one thread which contains a guide to regain 100% warranty including reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0 and stock recovery. I hope you find this handy.
We have so many threads to reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0, but it is also very much necessary to have the Stock Samsung Recovery to claim your warranty. Although you still can enjoy the full root access but if you want to unroot then you can simply use Superuser app settings menu.
Because we need to claim warranty when there is some major issue in the handset or our system has got corrupted and we cant reboot anymore. Then we can go to CWM and flash any rom but to go to service center we need to remove CWM.

Hey what about device status? after doing this method it will be custom or official? nd can we get update from software update?
another very important item for warranty is your original CSC. Example if you flash Russian 4.2.2 firmware your CSC becomes SER. You have to be sure that this is also changed when you go back to stock firmware OF YOUR REGION example India will be INU. Connect your grand to kies and check for the correct CSC before going to service to claim warranty,
I would also like to add that before flashing anything on your device to check and note your original CSC. Believe me this is most of the time checked by the service staff....

Right. That procedure is same as youtube cursed4eva method.
I believe there is no way to get back to stock without using odin more so if on 4.2.2
can I root the phone & then flash this stock recovery again to receive system updates & still keep root privileges?
Works with I9082L version ? Thanks !
Nice One :fingers-crossed:
does this method works with 4.2.2?
I believe even Xposed works...
bro.when i install stock recovery it shows installation aborted.what to do now
reply asap.!!!
It doesn't works with 4.2.2

Hello, i have a brand new GT-I9195 and before to root it or flash CM i have document myself but not enough i presume ...
I've rooted it following instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43622999 -> thanks arco68 for this BTW
Then i performed a NAND backup with CWM and finally flashed CM, downloaded from CyanogenMod website !
After that i decided to restore my CMW NAND backup, wiping cache, dalvik cache, data & data/media before doing so -> i restored only boot and system partitions -> OK but that's not want i want ...
I would like to get rid of CMW by flashing back Samsung stock ROM for the moment, here are the details about my firmware :
AP : I9195XXUAMF7
CP : I9195XXUAMF7
CSC : I9195BOGAMF5
I thought that i would be able to download it via Kies but my restored NAND backup still features root access and it seems that it broke any maintenance procedure via Kies ... so i went to SAMMOBILE website with the idea to download a suitable firmware for my device and then flash it back via odin or heimdall ... but it is not available this website
Now here are my questions :
-> Can i get Kies support again by unrooting my device ? If yes ... how to use Kies to download the FW and to flash it ? and how to unroot my device ?
-> If not where can i find a suitable firmware and how to flash it back ... odin ? heimdall ? something else ... ? (i've posted a message on SAMMOBILE website in case they can provide this FW to the community)

OK, i've flashed back the official Samsung ROM through Kies (and backed it up in case someone else needs it); since a suitable ROM was not available for download over the Internet, i played with Kies ... and won ! Below are the steps i performed to do this ... with some luck ...
-> step 1 : reset to factory from the android menu ... at this point, i've just restored ny NAND backup and the phone warns me all the time about the root status which is still enabled ... (Kies refuse to update the firmware of my device and that's the only way i have right now ...)
-> step 2 : back to android , still with root status warnings ... the recovery is still CMW !
-> step 3 : Kies updated => i connect my cellphone to my PC and from the Kies welcome window, i see that Kies lets me update the firmware if i want to ... let's do so (the reset to factory seems to be usefull here ... i have a little doubt about this because just before i tried again to flash my cellphone through Kies, Kies updated itself ! I'm just writing down the steps i followed)
-> step 4 : firmware updated through Kies and backed up, just in case ...
-> step 5 : reset to factory from the android menu again in order to check if CWM is still there => no more CWM ! Now my device is running stock Samsung ROM ... no more root privileges or CWM !
PS : The phone does not accept OTA updates anymore ...

I'm not an expert but from what i've read over the Internet, if you flash something through odin (recovery, custom ROM and so on ...), when you'll be back to stock ROM by flashing an official ROM through any available way (Kies, odin, heimdall, ...) you'll note that in every case, the OTA firmware update feature is not available anymore (if you check for updates, you'll have the following message : "Your phone has been modified, updates are not available anymore")
In case you have to RMA your phone, there is no doubt that the manufacturer will know you flashed your device and i don't really know the exact warranty policy of Samsung company about this ...
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong ...
With that said, is it really important to have the OTA feature ? From my point of view if it is possible to preserve or restore this feature after playing with flashing the device ... it's a good point but if someone could clarify this please, it would be great !
From what i've read over here and there ... :
-> Kies : official but may brick your phone during FW update process and if so, device is hard to revive ... (i used it because my phone's ROM was not available for direct download in order to flash it trough odin ...)
-> odin : easy and reliable
Regards
PS : thank you for the weblink tintol, i noticed that my FW is now available for direct download ... good to know :thumbup:

Guess you're right, everybody seems to say that it's impossible to go back to full stock.
I've been away from Samsung since gingerbread on S2, but back then we could easily revert to stock and get OTA updates.
I don't mind losing OTA, it's just for RMA purposes. I think I'll wait a few days before messing with it, just to see if there's nothing faulty.
From my experience, HTC knew I messed with my One X and they repaired the screen within the warranty. Not sure if samsung is that kind.

Hi,
I am just writing these steps to help those who want to downgrade from KK to JB due to any reason. Please use these steps at your own risk.
Some Background:
Recently I updated my Razr M to KK, it was Locked and Unrooted, but with the help of Twelroot and Motopocalypse I rooted and unlocked the BL.
Now somehow I didn't like the KK and wanted to go back to JB 4.1.2 because I was now having unlocked BL and rooted phone so it was easy but need to follow some steps to successfully downgrade to JB. So an unlocked BL and rooted with KK is must.
Prerequisite:
USB drivers for Razr M must be installed before proceeding.
Steps:
1. download the firmware file [Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US] from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
2. extract the above archive and replace the XML file with the one in attachment.
3. put the phone into fastboot mode and flash the firmware with RSD Lite (attached)
4. reboot and now you have JB 4.1.2
If you want to install root application again and also want to flash custom recovery then please follow the Post#5 [ATTACK] (thanks ATTACK)
Note : for custom recovery you will need the fastboot.exe if you don't have it then install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.1.3_setup.exe(attached).
Put the phone in fastboot mode, copy the recovery to c:\ and execute the below command :
fastboot flash recovery [Path to recovery image]
If it help you then don't forget to press Thanks button !
Forgive my ignorance but this won't downgrade the kernel will it? I'm hoping it's possible to go from the newest OTA to the stable CM11 but I'm guessing this is new kernel JB. Either way thanks if I can't go to stable CM11 I'll stick with rooted 4.1.2.
Once you have a unlocked bootloader, you do not need to use "root programs". All you need to do is flash a custom recovery via Mfastboot / fastboot then flash SuperSU / Superuser.
In dhacker29's folder there are 2 different recoveries.
"msm8960" is for 4.1.2
"KITKAT" is for 4.4.2

Could you go back to KK when you've downgraded to JB? Just asking this question early before the CM11 M8 release and the transition occurs.

The steps are tested by my 2 times, and there shouldn't be any problem. Make sure you have installed the correct drivers.
Please ensure that your bootloader is unlocked and shows BL unlocked status code 3 on BL screen.
I was also able to successfully flash back to JB with House of Moto via fast boot and full data wipe. It would not work with Universal or Keep Data, had to do full data wipe. Just another alternative :good:

Thanks You Its a Success Downgrade From 4.4 stock > CM11 > Stock rom 4.1 Thank you so much !!!
For those undergoing the downgrade process in RSD Lite and it takes forever for it to finish and the system ends up without data/signal, you need to RSD Lite flash again in order to regain signal. I believe the flashing was sluggish due to the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 and the many changes that were reflashed.

We have a wiener!
Thank you so much for the guide. After a lot of trial and error (mostly error), I thought that I had bricked my lovely XT907. I finally restored KitKat by flashing the 4.4.2 firmware with the edited XML file (deleting lines with "Getvar", "var" and "oem" in them), then followed your guide to the letter and found myself with a perfectly functional phone once again. No more sticky fastboot loops or audio-related crashes for me!
Lovely guide - thanks again! :laugh:

If I understand you correctly, your Galaxy Tab 8.0 is currently on 4.4.2 - either NE9 or NG1. You tried to use ODIN and flash the MK1 (4.2.2), but it failed.
Firstly, I haven't downgraded modem or the whole firmware myself on my Galaxy Tab 3, but I did it for my Galaxy S4 phone. It requires that you flash it twice. Here is what I would do.
1. Go back to SamMobile, and download the Kitkat firmware that you currently have (NE9 or NG1). Use ODIN to flash it and make sure that ODIN is working. This serves as your safety net; i.e., whenever things go wrong, you know you can at least bring your tablet back to a working state.
2. Now try to downgrade just the modem (not the entire firmware).
Read Post #19 on this page. This is what you need to do for "flashing the modem twice with ODIN".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/modem-4-4-2-i337mumufne3-t2815999/page2
To get your own modem.bin file, you need to extract it from the md5 file:
- find the MK1 md5 file you downloaded from SamMobile earlier,
- unzip it, and you will see the modem.bin file
3. Finally, use ODIN to flash the entire firmware (MK1 md5).
Proceed at your own risk.
Good luck.
Failed Againnnn
I'm tried. But I failed again. Sorry I'm Turkish. I'm not understand you. Do you know turkish?

Try this:
GalaxyTab3 Toolkit v1.1
Get the TWRP recovery installed on your GTab, then flash the GalaTab ROM. It's not hard, it just seems like it from some of the failures and horror stories.
I'm no expert, but I'll try to describe what to do. NOTE: There may be other ways to do it, but this is what I did.
Do you have a recovery (TWRP or CWM) on your tab? If not, that's the first thing you need to do. You are going to need to install Kies, Odin and then the Toolkit.
Note: TWRP works with the GalaTab ROM, and it's fairly simple to use. Install TWRP so we are all on the same page.
Lots of stuff, but the goal is to get a recovery on your Tab. Once all this is installed, start the Toolkit and connect your Tab to the PC. The Toolkit has great instructions, so follow those.
Once you have done all of that and you have a working recovery, get the GalaTab ROM onto your Tab and flash away.
Get a recovery onto your Tab first, and the rest is easy. Try just getting a recovery working and post your results and we'll go from there.
Note: This is for the SM-T310 only!

I'm assuming that will be in Turkish from the start. It SHOULD be the ROM that would come stock on a GTab 3 purchased in Turkey.
Is it a language barrier causing trouble flashing your tablet? Perhaps we could try screen caps to help. Wish I could be more helpful.

I agree with Tromatic. If you are still having problems, forget custom ROM or recovery, just go back to factory using ODIN. But...
Since you already have a French ROM with 4.4.2, you need to use a Turkish ROM in 4.4.2. Unfortunately, the only Turkish ROM available on SammMobile is 4.2.2 ROM (which Tromatic kindly provided a link above). It is unclear whether we can flash a ROM with an older version using ODIN. So you need to try it and find out.
Flashing of factory ROM is best done using ODIN. To begin, you need to make sure that ODIN is working.
You need a Windows computer, with the proper Samsung driver installed. Also search and download Odin 3.09, and have it ready to run.
The Turkish 4.2.2 ROM is linked in the post above by Tromatic. Download that.
To use ODIN, follow this guide:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s4-and-remove-root-completely/
Step 1. Power off your tablet and hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power button together for about 5 seconds.
Step 2. When you see the warning screen, hit Volume Up button to enter ODIN Download mode.
Step 3. Connect a micro-USB cable from your tablet to your computer.
Step 4. Download and run ODIN 3.09 program.
Step 5. Unzip the stock firmware, you should find a file ending in “tar.md5″. That is the stock firmware you will flash using ODIN.
Step 6. DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE but hit the PDA button, select the stock firmware “tar.md5″ file and hit “Start” button. That’s it. This should take around 5-10 minutes. If you get stuck right after hitting “Start” button, try another USB port and turn off Kies in Task Manager.
Step 7. When done successfully, you will see “PASS!” and your tablet will reboot.
If for some reason, you get “FAIL!” during the ODIN flashing process, simply reboot your tablet into ODIN download mode and try again. Also, if you see some type of “Firmware error” during boot, just try running ODIN in that mode, that’s same as ODIN download mode.
Step 8. Once rebooted, your tablet should be fully back to stock firmware.
Step 9. If for some reason, your tablet doesn’t boot up or you want to erase EVERYTHING on your internal storage and the phone for returning for warranty, you can do a factory reset using stock recovery.
Power off your phone (or pull battery) and hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power buttons together.
Step 10. Keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons but let go of Power button.
Step 11. Once in stock recovery, choose “wipe data/factory reset”.
Step 12. Choose “delete all user data”. WARNING! This will ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE!
Step 13. Once done, reboot system.
Step 14. Once rebooted, you should find your Galaxy S4 completely back to Day 1 you got the phone, congrats!
If you are not successful in flashing the 4.2.2 Turkish ROM, go back and flash the French 4.4.2 ROM.
You can download the French 4.4.2 ROM from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/details/30982/Galaxy_Tab_3_8.0/SM-T310/XEF/T310XXUBNG1.html
Repeat the above steps, but use the different ROM file.
Hello,I'm using the China Unicom (CHU) version i9082 with Android 4.1.2,and I want to upgrade it to 5.0
I noticed there are not any offical 4.2.2 rom for CHU version,so I have no way to upgrade to 5.0 due to the roms are based on 4.2.2
So could any one tell me if it possible to upgrade my phone to Android 5.0?
Thanks~

maybe not possible
Has anyone found a way to do that? Seems like China Unicom is the only supplier that didn't update to 4.2.2.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Would it be possible to install cyanogenmod for i9082 over 4.1.2? Any alternative custom rom out there that works with 4.1.2?
Alright, after ~10 hours of learning how to smartphone, root, flash, and deal with broken guides I managed to install cyanogenmod on my i9082 china unicom. The main problem being, if you found your way to here you'll probably know already, is that that stupid carrier doesn't update to 4.2.2, making it painful to install customRoms, especially CM
.
I'll probably forget some steps so sorry in advance, I'll give my best so you don't have to go through the **** I did.
The problem with this whole community is that your filehosters 404 all the time. It's a pity about the work and time you invested in your guides.
- (I didn't backup any data but you probably want to. Use Kies for that now. I think CWM can do that as well). Installing Kies is a good idea anyway, because IIRC it installs the proper USB driver for your phone.
- Follow Step 1 here, install CWM (CWM-touch_i9082_chotu.tar). This guide in general will be your second home for now. I used Odin 3.9 instead, but I doubt it matters.
- Step 2, the link to superSU 404s. Use this one (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip) instead.
- In the next step ("Installing Cyanogenmod [...]") download cm-10.1-20131101-UNOFFICIAL-i9082.zip from the provided link. Download gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip from the other link. You can probably risk getting a newer gapp, but it seems to be risky.
I had the same problem OP talked about here. Phone stuck on loading screen. That's because we didn't read the last line in the guide: Wipe the data in CWM. After I did that, Cyanogenmod worked (there's also some discussion about using the proper gapp zip).
Hope this helped someone. I sure would have appreciated finding a guide that still works (which this mostly does, contrary to way too many others out there).
short version in case the guide goes down: install usb drivers, download cwm recovery, download odin, turn off phone, turn it on by holding power+home+volume down, press volume up, connect phone via usb, open odin, select cwm recovery where it says 'AP' or 'PDA' in odin, press start. Download recover file, supersu file, cm 10.1, gapp. Put all 4 on your sd card in the downloads folder (in root folder you wont see the files). Turn off phone, turn it on with volume up+home+power, install from sd card -> recover, then supersu. restart phone. Enter CWM again, this time install from sd card -> cm, then gapp. restart again. It might be stuck on loading screen, if so enter cwm again and select wipe data/factory reset. Cross your fingers and it should work. If not, I'm sorry.
