Hi,
Apologies if I`m in the wrong forum. If I am please direct me to the right one, thank you...
I can`t find the stock recovery for Samsung galaxy S4 active gt-i9252
I`d appreciate a quick reply here as I have to ship it back to Samsung on Sunday morning.
I bought the device 3 weeks ago and it has been freezing daily ever since.
Now I want to send it back for replacement and I`m afraid leaving the CWM I have installed might void my warranty. I was given to understand the only way to uninstall CWM it is to flash via odin the stock recovery. I`ve uninstalled root and I`m running on the stock rom.
If anyone has any other idea how to go about it, or can point me to where I can download the stock recovery, I`d be very thankful!

Hello,
About a month ago I rooted and installed a custom JB ROM (Kangdroid I believe?) onto my AT&T Galaxy SIII with the custom recovery mod. Now that the official release of JB has come out from AT&T I want to return my phone to it's original factory state with no custom anything, and then update to the official JB release. I don't want to use a custom un-bloated ROM. Call me crazy but I really didn't want to root/mess with the phone in the first place but I really, really, really wanted Jelly Bean. I already have backed up my contacts since that is the only thing I really need to save from my phone at the moment. I can download all of my apps again, etc. I tried searching the forums but couldn't come up with a very clear answer on how to do this. I found it hard to figure out exactly what I needed to do, and since I did this so long ago, I pretty much forgot how to do all of the little things that made my first attempt at flashing/rooting successful. I guess my question is this: What software do I need and what are some links (if any) on this site to help me return the phone to it's original out-of-the box state so that I can update my OS with the Samsung Kies software. Thanks a lot for your help and I hope to hear from some of you soon. Sorry for noobing it up in here.

The same way you rooted it with odin .. download the stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625
push it on with odin and that should revert your phone back to stock ..
Hello,
2 Days ago my phone unlocked galaxy note 2 in the uk stopped working in the middle of the night, no idea how, My borthers phone stopped the same night also.
My friends note 2 got an OTA update the next morning but his is working fine.
SInce then my phone wont go past the first boot screen, it is completely stock and has no custom rom or root.
I took it to a samsung repair centre they put it in DL mode and they said i had a custom rom and they cant help..
Iv come home and i have tried to now flash a new firmware, i have then tried to flash CWM via odin but it comes up with a message..
No pit partition

Anyone have any ideas? what has caused this the OTA update? Both me and my brother bought the phones directly through samsung trade but my friend bought his through phones 4 u..
The update my friend got was N7100xxdmb2
ANy ideas or help is greatly appreciated
mods please delete, posting in AT&T thead in error, need internation thread...
Hi guys,
i'll sell my 7105 in few days so i'd like to set back official rom!
my only doubt is right now i'm using custom rom on 4.4.2 can i just wipe all go in DOWNLOAD mode and install 4.3 official rom?
about keeping the root ?
thanks
Yes, Odin is the way to go. You don't necessarily have to wipe anything, but I would do so to make sure it is factory reset and to prevent you from boot loop.
Flashing stock will unroot the phone, but it won't reset the flash counter! Consider to do that as well as you are going to sell it.
thanks Yakobus for your reply.. actually i did act before reading ur msg
well i was just scared to destroy note 2 just few days before leaving me ahah!
FYI , for those like me willing to know, this is what i did...
I've got latest rom from sammobile..
I used trianlge away and then i went in recovery over my phone!
once in recovery i wiped ALL.. and i mean all with TWRP recovery!
from there i rebooted phone in DOWNLOAD mode and i used ODIN pc (u can find step by step by Dr Ketan or other post)
flashed 4.3 to my phone, when rebooted everything was working ( yes also wifi )
COUNTER went back to ZERO ... Knox is installed (apparently) but honestly i couldn't care less..
everything good if anyone has some doubts.. ask
:highfive:
You are welcome. Good to see everything went fine and thank you for the summary!
Edit:
What I did not have in mind: Your Knox counter is probably set to 0x1 as you were using a custom ROM. You cannot reset it so far and I do not know what that means for our warranty as it depends on your country's laws and your provider/seller.
with some more details pls , i'm a noob , had note II 4.3 JB , upgraded to 4.4.2 official kit kat and want to downgrade , i didn't root it , i didn't do anything at all and i dont want to lose the phone i just bought a week ago , can u help me?
Hello,
So I have the 4.4.2 Galaxy Note sgh-i467, it is stuck in the recovery mode,
I've been trying for some time already to contact Samsung to have some help with the device no luck, they ask me to go to USA or ship it to them for the fix. I have tried a few methods I found here on the forums but no luck with them also, maybe I missed something, basically my question is : was someone able to recover from 4.4.2 to a working tablet ?

I had the same problem and tried Kies and Odin as nothing else seemed apparent. Kies 2.6 would download the 4.4.2 update and show almost finished on the green bar indicator in download mode then Kies would freeze up on my Windows 7 computer and I'd have to end task on it and restart the tablet. There doesn't seem to be a KitKat ROM on sammobile or anywhere else I could find. I did find a thread in the development forum that I've since lost where a senior XDA developer had indicated he'd put in a request with Samsung's executive level of support to get a copy of the 4.4.2 ROM. I tried using Odin to flash the JellyBean image from sammobile, but that's what had caused my table to get stuck in recovery mode in the first place, so it didn't work. I've flashed plenty of ROMs on my GS4, so I'm no stranger to Odin but you seemingly can't go back to JB from KK thanks to the locked bootloader that comes along with it.
I was lucky in that I'm in the U.S. and could bring the Note 8 to my local Best Buy's Samsung Experience kiosk. After my fourth visit to the third Best Buy, I finally found a guy who reloaded the Note 8.0 with the 4.4.2 ROM. It's back up and running now with the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Charcaroth I wish I could hit that thanks button a hundred times. The Samsung Experience Center @ Best Buy fixed my Note 8.0 that was hopeless just as you said.
Thanks for going above & beyond with your help via private message!
I foolishly went to root my T-Mobile note 5 with out reading the entire forum now I'm bricked at the load screen I got past the Sean root deal by what I thought was doing by installing the stock kernel and ROM with Odin but now the phone is giving me a different message at the galaxy load screen about the kernel.... Is there a working root yet for T-Mobile version or anyone know how to return the phone back to stock. Remember please I know a bit about rooting and custom Roms but it's been a while since last phone I rooted was a LG 3D like 8 years ago lol so I'm just now getting back at it so go easy on me lol.
Sorry guys just noticed this is Att post my bad
