Accidentally flashed ROM of different note ii variant and believe I got a soft brick...
Ive been reading different forums on fixing it and have a good idea how to using Odin but cannot for the life of me find the stock TAR for my device to use in Odin and set my phone back to stock...
could someone direct me to a download and help me unbrick :good:
Thank you :laugh:
Here you go. If you are still able to boot recovery just flash through the phone but if not then just unzip a tar file and go though Odin.

hello i have searched for and could not find if there is a file to flash stock recovery through odin. also i wanted to now if there is a flash counter reset option on the glide.
thanks for any help
I too would like to know!
Thanks guys, XDA Rocks!
if udownload the file of samfirmware.com and type in the phone model download it and put it into odin that should put u back to stock. then just do a factory reset and should put the stock recov back on... someone correct me if im wrong
I rooted my phone yesterday using the toolkit from the development forums. I created a backup of my stock ROM before I flashed anything new but apparently I messed that up b.c trying to restore that, the toolkit told me I have no restore files. Anyway I flashed the unofficial cm10 build and I am having some radio issues, so I wanted to go back to stock until a more official build comes out. I have tried doing that through the toolkit a few times but it continues to fail.
Looking around online I found the stock ROM from Google and dl'd it (mysid-imm76k-factory-98d21321.tar is the file) I am pretty noobish when it comes to flashing stuff and i have never seen a .tar but I found that Odin can flash .tar. so my plan was to get the odin app flash that file and hope I did everything okay.
A couple questions: is this going to work okay? Do I need to flash kernels or radios or anything else or is this a complete return to stock? Will this keep me rooted and unlocked?

Thank you. Don't know why I couldn't find that.
Any chance you could explain what odin is/.tar files are? And how they are different?

You need to be very specific about the problem you are experiencing.
Exactly what model is your phone, Tmobile T999 or AT&T I747 ?
Also do you want to flash the stock rom for your phone or do you
want to flash the stock-rooted rom?
The Verizon rom did not just happen to appear in your phone, you or someone
else must have flashed it for reasons which are beyond my comprehension.
Good luck!

If you want a stock rom click here: UVDLJA this is the un-rooted T999 Galaxy S3 4.1.1 Jellybean firmware.
This is the same rom which came with your T999 Galaxy S3 it needs to be flashed using ODIN.
You need to unzip the file in order to get the TAR file inside before flashing.
After flashing it might take up to 5-10 minutes to fully boot.
Good luck!

No, if you odin flash any rom it will over write the modem.
If your phone is a T999 (not t999v) then do this and the phone will work properly:
This will over write your modem with the proper one for a T999 phone and this will
flash the stock rooted T999 4.1.2 Jellybean rom.
Follow the instructions below.
Here is the step by step guide:
After you have followed these instructions your phone will have the new T999 4.1.2 jellybean pre-rooted firmware.
Download the stock-rooted Odin flash T999_UVDMD5 Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 firmware.
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
But the Chinese models usually come with write protection
so I rooted my galaxy note 2 from Sprint with Odin and it said that it was rooted but the superuser would never work so I did a factory reset to make sure that wasn't the problem and it just got stuck on boot loader on the Samsung icon and it never turns on I tried installing the stock firmware for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Odin and every time I got to S.boot it says fail my phone has been stuck like this for about a week now and I have not found anything to fix it I found a thread saying to install an alternate stock firmware without the s.boot file but it was only for Verizon phones I have not found one for the Sprint any help would be highly appreciated

What file were you using?
Without more info I would suggest using odin and flashing a recovery then flashing mc2 stock with counter reset. Dont remember exactly who made it at this moment but scan through development section and you will find it.

It's failing at sboot because you're trying to downgrade on a secured bootloader. You can't downgrade. You can only use the latest stock firmware.
This is the stock 4.3 image for use in Odin http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
To get into download mode use vol down, home, power. You'll need Odin 3.07 or 3.09. Put this in the PDA or AP tab. DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN ODIN.

I know exactly what you need to do, go download this and flash with odin, then flash a custom recovery and flash MC back to stock unrooted

you saved my A$$ thxs
Long story short soft bricked my phone a few days ago. i was told that flashing a new rom through odin would do the trick but I cant simply flash the stock 4.4.2. Mostly on the account that Samsung issued 4.3 and 4.4 OTA. And when I do come across a rom chances are its flashable zip through a recovery, which is what I dont need, as my phone is not turning on. I mean since I am at 4.4.2 I cant find the stock firmware online. I mean seriously I know theres a devloper out there who has a 4.4.2 rom in the tar.md5. Custom rom or not makes absolutely no difference to me.
Thanks in advance and much appreciated to anyone with advice
Your phone is not turning on? If it doesn't turn on, there's no way to flash a ROM.
So where can I get I747m 4.4.2 stock firmware in zip format? I have downloaded stock firmwares from different sites but they are all in tar.md5 format. I need one that works with sp flash tool.

There is no zip format for the stock ROMs AFAIK.
There is a stock 4.4.2 rom available for i747, Odin flashable. If you can get into download mode.
I need a ROM that's flashable with sp flash tool as my phone is hard bricked and I am trying to revive it.
