My wife has a E4GT which I rooted installed cmw and a stock rooted rom about a little more than a year ago. Anyways the current rom is having some issues and I want to switch ROMs for her. I remember this phone was a bit of a pain to flash and that I had to use mobile Odin and flash back to an older rom before flashing new.
Can someone please give me some direction to flashing ROMs on this phone....ie which modem to flash back to? I'm Odin or cmw? In what order.
Thanks in advance I really don't feel like bricking her phone. Lol

Why dont you head on over to either Android Development or Original Development...They have some pretty good stuff and all have instructions on how to go about flashing them..Plus a bunch of good guys that will definitely get you going in the right direction....

You could of went to the android sub forums and searched. You don't need to unroot your phone. Just flash which everyone you choose.

I also have tried custom ROMS and now back in Stock ROM
If you have ROM Manager installed, then you can easily recover your original stock rom (remain rooted). But this is the case where you already made a Nandroid Back up before flashing Custom ROM.
If you cannot go that way, You can try flashing the full stock ROM (RUU Files, not PC10IMG). I never tried this, but what I understand from the threads I read, It will unroot your device. You might have to re-root again later (if you want to)
Cheers..
Ha ironically I recently made the same move. Rooted/stock, got tired of the little annoyances. Vanilla wins for me right now.

Ditto that. Too many issues with either CM7 or HTC Sense based ROMs. I really enjoyed using Virtuous for a long time, but having random hard reboots in version 1.0.2 pushed me away from it and back to stock (with root). Everything works, and that's what is most important to me.
I am trying to find the easiest way possible for someone to flash the updated md4 stock rom. This person is already rooted. They want to upgrade so they will have multiwindow. They are in another city so I cant do it myself. I remember Treve has a rom that backs up your rom before it flashes the unrooted stock. I was wondering is there something similar to that but will flash the rooted latest stock?
Here is the thread with the md4 modem/baseband. I've never seen a ROM that makes a back up for you. You can make nandroid while in recovery. That will be the back up you need in the event of a problem.

Using ODIN is the best way to go. This link explains everything. All that person needs to know is how to open the ODIN, select file under PDA option and click Start.

Why just the kernel? just flash the whole stock image and that comes with kernel through odin and you will be good to flash the Rom of your choice through the typical Custom Recovery Zips after you get everything stable again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541
Go to the firmwares and pick the stock one, thats should be enough to get you back up and going again.
alright man gonna take the firmware from there and odin it,if it lets me in just hit root twrp cleanrom and saberkernel and not touch it till a cleanrom like rom comes for 4.3
Thanks for the help,Hope this works out good

Gracias my friend all done!! woot woot,Finally got my phone running again, thanks thanks thanks
So I need some advice on which ROM to flash back on my phone. I am new to custom ROMs and managed to hard brick my phone. I am going to try a Jig to see if I can get into download mode, however, if I do that I am not sure what ROM to flash back onto my phone. It's a galaxy S3 i747. When this all started I was running JB 4.1.1 on it. Then I flashed CM10 and that went great. After I flashed CM10 my phone said that I was on JB 4.3. Did CM update JB and the bootloader? I know that trying to flash an older bootloader can cause troubles. Afater I had CM running I tried to flash LeanKernel and this is when I bricked my phone. So my questions is, do I need to flash the ROM for JB4.1.1 or for JB 4.3? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Look buddy, the first thing you want to do is flash the latest STOCK rom for you're model. After you've done that you can now backup you're stock rom via recovery (TWRP recommended), after that you now have a stable rom to return to just in case you fail to flash a custom rom. And I would recommend one of the stock mod roms to get the use of all of Samsung's exclusive features. Good luck, and feel free to ask any more questions.

Hey thanks. I really appreciate the help. I got in a little over my head so I'm just trying to get ahead of the learning curve as quick as possible. Now I've searched around for the stock 4.3 flash able ROM and am having trouble finding a clear cut download for it. Do you have a recommendation of where I can find the JB 4.3 stock to flash with ODIN?

There isn't an odin flashable 4.3 rom for i747. The last thing there is is 4.1.1 then the 4.3 you would take as an ota. I highly doubt cm updated your bootloader. Floating around the forums is an sd unbrick method. You could try that. I don't have experience with it, but quite a few people have. Good luck.

Maybe this would work : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 Do some research on it first then let me know. And if you want a good and stable custom rom I recommend using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504903. Just don't choose the note 3 option, choose the stock.

That is only a method used to root you're phone, not to unbrick it.

But to root I flashed a ROM with Odin. The ROM is linked on that page. At least that is my understanding of how rooting works. Wouldn't that've a good ROM to use to un-brick?
Have you ever updated your phone to 4.3?

Not entirely sure. Never updated to 4.3 on a stock ROM. It was on JB 4.1 before I flashed CM10. However once I flashed CM10 the settings page said my phone was on JB 4.3. So not sure if the bootloader got updated or not.
Thanks so much everyone for the help. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately the Jig did not work, so it is all a moot point in the end. Looks like the phone is going off to get JTAGed.
I sold my Note 2 for Sprint and I now just want to flash a stock Touchwiz ROM or near stock at least. I haven't used the phone in a few months and i've looked over the development forum but i'm unclear on what to flash. I remember seeing a stock ROM but I can no longer find it. I am currently on Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4, baseband L900VPAMA7. All I want is the easiest way to send my phone to the buyer with a stock or near stock experience. I want the easiest avenue because I do not want to brick the phone right before I send it out. I also have a nandroid of my first stock backup of Android 4.1.1 which I don't know if it is safe to flash. Can someone please steer me in the right direction? It would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
From what I gathered and correct me if i'm wrong, simply flashing the MC2 Stock zip, it will unroot the phone and take me back to stock (what version of Android does it downgrade to? Will the phone be able to receive the updated versions of Touchwiz?). If I want to stay rooted, then i flash the root.zip file right after i flash the MC2 Stock zip? (Would this be able to get updates to Touchwiz?)
Are there any other alternatives to getting a stock experience?
I did this about 2 month ago and it went back to stock unroot...yes u will be able to update... also it u want to stay rooted then flash the root file right after before again before rebooting and it will stay rooted ...no if stay rooted u will not be able to get update.... If u reall wanted to stay rooted there's a few stock rooted rom .. link provided

If you have taken the ne2 ota or flashed it with odin DO NOT FLASH that file. If you have not taken the ne2 update than it is ok to use.
