I read something about not using a computer to root; but I could not find anything on getting back to stock without a computer (the question was posed on a few different sites).
My only thought would be to have someone on stock rom, to root and do a backup with CWM; then copy that backup folder off their phone to someplace you could download it using your phone (like google documents).
then you could boot to recovery and flash EXT42RFS.zip from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362
then use cwm to restore from that backup and it would put stock ec05 on your phone; seemingly back to stock except for the recovery.
thats what i was thinking also couldnt find a downloadable back up to put on to my phone if any one is willing to help me with a flashable backup for clockwork mod im using version 3.0.0.6 i think
Similar issue.
I am looking into a solution. Let me get right back at you.

As far as I know there is no way to unroot without a computer. However you can make it look like stock for the return. When you installed CWM 3.0.0.6 on your phone and it converted to EXT4 it made a nand backup called beforeEXT4conversion or something like that. Restore that nand and do a factory data reset from inside settings>privacy on your phone.

Who knows, that may also fix your phone to connect again. Does it make the connection noise on the computer? If so, go into Control Panel, System, Device Manager and look for something connected to your USB or Other. It will probably say Samsung Android. Choose Update Drivers on that and it will take about 10 minutes to get the drivers and install and you should be able to work from the computer again.

Are you able to go into download mode? If you are able to get into download mode go ahead and flash a stock ROM using Odin. There are many videos and instructions on how to do this littered all over the internet. You will lose everything though user data, root etc. but from that point you can start fresh like you just took the phone out of the box. Also is your computer picking up the phone when you plug it in? If not, just make sure you have the drivers installed so your computer can identify that you've plugged in your phone.

Hello all I am in a bit of a situation.
This is the second time I have posted regarding me causing my galaxy note 2 to be out of order. Today I used TWRP to wipe my OS then also deleted all of my data wiping the os's I had downloaded. I only have a Mac thus the help for Mac's and Android is very limited thus I am wondering if there would be any way to get this fixed without using a Windows computer right now my phone is stuck rebooting.
Sorry to bother you all again,
Max
I don't know if I understand your post fully, but... It sounds like you wiped the device, and wiped the ROM that you downloaded? I've seen this increasingly lately.
Anyways..
Download another ROM and place it on an external SD card. You'll need an adapter to be able to hook the SD up to the computer. Or just borrow someone's SD. (just don't wipe it too)
Put the SD in and flash the ROM. just shut the phone off and when you're ready, use the three button combo to get back to TWRP.
Please hit the triangle on the side of your post and report it for thread maintenance to be moved. This thread (A question thread) belongs in the Q&A section.

With a Mac, not that I know of.
Give it a few hours and maybe someone with higher knowledge of mac+android will chime in.
The phone is blank right now, I would hesitate to even try to turn it on. You could use windows and Odin. You might be able to adb the files to the device..But that is more learning/hassle than the SD. Using the SD is really the easiest.
I'd let you borrow mine but shipping would take a while (haha)
I have an iMac and have the same problem. Android file transfer doesn't even recognize my device for MTP transfer. But I have four other windows machines here, so no biggie for me.
How would you go about doing it using windows?

Install Odin and grab the stock OS files
Place the phone into download
And push the stock os to the phone
It would be as if you were going back to full stock.
There are numerous guides on how to do it.

Using the Samsung toolkit I rooted my phone but remained stock. I installed rom toolbox and decided I wanted to try changing the system font. I installed it and rebooted the phone but it would not pass the Samsung logo so I decided to just hard reset. Messing around with twrp trying to to reset I hit wipe system and now when I go to reboot it says no os installed! I tried to go around it by installing the rom to the phone through the computer but my computer won't recognize my phone and neither will Odin. I'm stuck and I need help I can't even use my phone because it won't start :crying:
If you were using this tool you should be able to download a new AT&T rom and re-install from scratch.

The answer has been given on both this area and Q&A. Please don't post in more than one area. People will help you out. Whatever you do, don't panic. Just remember that as long as you can boot into TWRP and download mode, you are safe because your phone is not bricked beyond repair and there are multiple ways to get a ROM back. No guarantees on your data though (your external SD card should be fine though). Before you start messing around with much more, please read through various threads regarding what you are wanting to do so that you are prepared to do it correctly and you will have some idea of what to do should something go wrong.

did you get yourself straightened out? if you're still having issues with your PC not seeing your phone (and adb feels way over your head) go grab yourself a $10 micro sd card. they're real lifesavers. throw a ROM and gapps on there and you should be all set. you can backup to that sd card once you know you're all set to and you'll have a nandroid for emergencies too.
This is a easy fix. Boot into recovery mode. Mount your storage. Copy a rom from your pc to your phone. Flash away.

rom delete and phone wont turning on help me!!!!
hi guys!
yesterday i was updating my firmware or my smart phone INNJOO i1s, from its official site. i had started flashing it with FLASH TOOL it first format the rom then when i was to installed the rom there was error occurred then boomm... Rom crashed then i reboot my device and it was not starting. it was like a dead. its not charging now nor turning on. but when i connect it to computer, computer makes a connectivity sound, and installing and unknown device driver. Why it is happening? plz help me. I want to turn my phone again.
Never heard of flash tool. Do you have the i747 or i747m?
I've spent all day yesterday trying to fix this problem. I've downloaded gigs upon gigs of stock rom files, saw a ton of youtube videos etc. Still nothing.
So here's the deal. I had Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my phone for a while now and I've always had problems, although a nice rom but too many crashes, battery drainage etc. So I wanted to go to stock but before doing so I thought I'd give Cyanogenmod 11 a try and see how that works, which turns out to be worse and I lost all phone signal and data, pretty much no service. So now I tried to go back to stock for good. I downloaded the stock 4.1 something rom file, odin and tried going back which didn't work cause I would keep getting a fail sign on odin. By the way I tried different versions of Odin since that was suggested to me by my friend and that didn't do anything either. Then I read a blog about using Samsung Kies on my PC, now after I did that I got a message on kies that my phone encountered an error. Now when I turn my phone on I get a message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Is my phone bricked for good? Can I go back to stock? I'm not sure what else to do here now. Why is it hard finding a stock unrooted 4.3 rom for my phone on the internet? I also can't use that clockwork recovery mode either, it just gives me the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" when I try going into that to even try and install Cyanogenmod again so I can use my phone until I find a solution to going back to stock.
Help ploxkthxbai.
Edit: Ok so I just installed clockworkmod recovery through odin and I was able to install a rooted stock rom through the recovery, but now the problem I'm encountering is that it gets stuck on the AT&T logo when booting up the phone. Installing stock rom through odin still gives me the fail message.
Edit 2: I tried installing a stock unrooted rom through recovery and it gave me some error but now the phone goes passed the AT&T logo after that however I have no service now. How do I fix that and how should I go about installing stock unrooted rom since Odin gives me the fail message?

The easiest way to fix it is to take it to a best buy store they will flash stock 4.3 on it free of charge, this is the advice that is now given by Samsung. Alternatively you could get the phone jtag'ed or while it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue it is in download mode and you can flash things with Odin. You can attempt to flash a recovery image to see if you can access recovery and flash enewman17's stock restore from the development section. You can also attempt to hard brick it with Odin by flashing stuff that has pre 4.3 bootloaders then use the debrick method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068.
I recommend you try the best buy method first, then try to flash a recovery, then try to hard brick it and recover it and lastly to get it jtag'ed.
If you can't get it recovered after intentionally hard bricking it you haven't lost anything you were still going to need a jtag service but it might work.
Under the advice of Samsung I tried the same thing you did and they told me to take it to best buy to get it fixed, instead I hard bricked it then used the sd card method to debrick it. Which I had already done twice. But that method doesn't work for everyone I was lucky 3 times and had to jtag once(flashed the i747m bootloader bad idea had to jtag) since then I have quit pushing my luck and only flash things I know are safe for the phone.

Go to settings, about device, what does it show for baseband? Then go to settings, status does the imei number for the phone show up, say unknown or 0? If it shows unknown for the baseband and imei you simply need to flash a modem. If it shows the correct baseband but your imei shows as 0 your imei has become corrupt search for imei restore the fresh a ton of threads about it most people loose lte after an imei restore but there is a fix for that too. If you are having problems with wifi try flashing a kernel.

I just did that and my phone is now hard bricked. Won't turn on at all, won't vibrate or anything. It's completely dead. Tried the sd card method and that's not working so far. So I need a jtag service for this. Not even sure what that is right now until I look that up after this reply. I did look into those usb jigs but it seems that's only if it's soft bricked.
Edit: Trying the sd card method on the 4th try worked. Now back to fixing this.

What did you flash that hard bricked your phone? A modem should have been pretty safe to flash. I have flashed a bunch of different ones the worst that ever happened to mine was no service or poor service.
What exactly still needs fixing? No service still? Did you check imei and baseband? Intact, unknown or 0? Will be available till about 7am off and on.

Oh man, I might be sounding like a total noob by now but damn I've never had problems installing custom roms and going back to stock before.
So I flashed a modem that was for my phone and carrier in some thread here and that hard bricked my phone when I rebooted my phone. I tried the sd card method and in the end that worked and I could start my phone but no service or anything which at this point is the least important thing. In that thread of the sd card method it mentions how to flash a bootloader to make the phone not require the sd card (which was requiring it on my phone to start up the phone) and now it's hard bricked by trying that, and the sd card is not making it boot into download or recovery mode at all now.
If only I had enough to buy another phone I would seriously punch this phone repeatedly until nothing was left. I've spent like 2 days on this phone now with about 5 hours not counting sleep of time away from fixing this phone.

Are you certain the battery is charged? Should be a question that should be un asked but it does happen. The bootloader you flashed you're sure was for your model and carrier(AT&T vs canadian)? If you flashed the wrong model bootloader then you will need to jtag, If not when I was debricking my phone I had to do a battery pull after each time I wanted the phone to boot with the debrick SD. Are you doing that I don't want you to feel stupid but if you have a lack of sleep and are frustrated simple things can be overlooked. My thought is that If the sd method worked before it should work now especially if you are using the same debrick image. Out of curiosity what model is your phone and carrier?
I wish you the best of luck and hope all works out.

Yeah the battery is charged, I've tried the battery on another phone as well. I do pull out the battery and all that, and yeah I know simple things can be overlooked. Which is why I tried again today. Oh well I guess it's just one of those things that just won't work for whatever reason. Anyways, my model is SGH-I747 for AT&T. I even made sure that none of it was the SGH-I747M. Oh well jtag is what it is, I guess I rather pay than have to deal with this problem. Only thing is that I've never done that before and so many people are offering it on ebay and I don't know who to go with, I mean I'm sending my phone to someone with no real guarantee or anything that I will get my phone back. And yeah there's user feedback but that could also mean a thousand fake accounts giving good reviews or friends and family giving good reviews for 1 penny sales. Anyone you suggest I go with? Either on ebay or out of ebay? Thanks for all the help btw.
Everything seems to be going downhill for me right now. My computer will not recognize any Micro SD or SD cards. It will recognize pro duo cards but not any SD or Micro SD card. I tried all my Micro SD cards and SD cards today and none of them are being detected although they do show up in MiniTool Partition Wizard. I even bought another card reader and it's the same thing. So now my computer is being a twat about this. I think I might as well just listen to some Linkin Park and slit my wrists to end it all. But before I do that, anyone know why my PC won't recognize SD and Micro SD all of a sudden?
