[Q] Stock Rom in Zip Format

Hello,
Can someone help me find a link to a working stock unrooted rom in a zip format. I need to flash it and do not have access to a windows computer but all the files that I have found are no longer working links. I need this by tomorrow I have to take my phone to Sprint due to an issue with my hardware.
Thank you,

You said no access to Windows PC - how about ANY PC, including Mac/Linux? If so you can use Heimdall.
If not, how about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459529&highlight=el29

mobile odin is what you are looking for. Check it out in the market. You can flash .tar files from your phone.

I do have a Mac and I have used heimdall to flash kernel many times but I have never used it to flash roms and I do not know how to do it. I will look into the mobile odin.

Is it safe to flash full rom tar files through mobile Odin?

Not sure. I don't think it is fire ics tars not that he's looking for one. I only flashed kernels using it

Hello guys, I am still having problems finding a stock eg30 or el29 in a zip format to flash in recovery. I tried using a windows computer to use the one click root but it stops working about 20 seconds in.
Thank you all in advance.

Can you provide any more information on the problem that you're having? Might also help to know what you're currently running and if there are any issues beyond the ODIN OC problems mentioned.

I am running a calkulin 1.0 because I was relying to find a rom that at least looks stock. I have tried Odin and all it does to my phone is leave a message to connect to Kies for recovery. I reflash a kernel and fix it but all it seems to take is flashing using recovery.

Did you try the stock rom in the link I provided before? You should be able to do that by CWM.

Use mobile Odin and flash the tar files here ....

That is the generic behavior if an ODIN flash does not complete.
What does the log say in ODIN OC?
That will give insight into why it is failing.
You can also take the ODIN OC files (or the individual .tar.md5 in the 2nd post of the ODIN OC threads) and feed them to Mobile ODIN (after unpacking the 7zip self extractors)

That link just seems to be modems not rooms.

[SOLVED!!] Accidentally flashed GT-i9100 bootloader...

Like an IDIOT I accidentally Odin'd the international (GT-i9100) bootloader over the stock/rooted FH13. The phone works but in download mode Odin does not recognize. I've tried everything I could read others have tried (drivers, etc) but no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I out of the Odin business permanently?
Thanks.

I remember hearing of someone else doing this before as well and I think I remember the only thing they could do was send it off to have the flash reprogrammed via jtag. My suggestion is find a rom you like. Flash it and stay put. Can't risk a soft brick.

If I recall correctly times_infinity posted how to flash the bootloader using adb / terminal, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah I can't remember who it was but there is definitely a thread on it.

Doesn't the international boot loader make the USB port on our phone not work anymore? Which is why when you go to Odin mode, a computer won't recognize it? That's what I remember

Ya there was a guy who did this a day or two ago, he sent it for JTAG, no USB after the flash so JTAG is your only option afik

Sorry didn't read your op thoroughly, interesting situation.... I'll keep an eye out for info, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some adb magic you could pull to fix it since it still boots...

Even if usb wasn't working you should be able to copy the bootloader into the phone and run a terminal emulator to run the command from the phone. But there is a how to specifically for this issue somewhere.

That post might have it with the instructions. I don't know for sure what it says. But you can grab an Odin tar and extract the bootloader out of it.

I'd love to but have no idea how to. Remember I'm the idiot that installed the wrong bootloader! I was even able to restore my nandroid but that didn't change the bootloader version.

I am trying to do this from the phone or I would be more help. Search our forum for sgs2 bootloader or flashed wrong bootloader or something and see if you can find the thread on this issue.

Ok try this. If your computer can see the phone booted up there its no reason why download shouldn't see it. Uninstall your drivers. Download the drivers from Samsung again. Install them. Put your phone in download mode. Connect to pc. Let drivers get loaded completely. Unplug phone from pc. Plug phone back to pc. Open Odin. See if it gives you a com port. Report back the result.

Thanks. I've tried this but when I'm in download mode my phone is not recognized at all (by neither the computer nor Odin).

I was mistake this was about the kernel, not the boot loader. Regardless here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29843206&postcount=23

Then you might be out of luck. I am not sure you can fix it without Odin. Here is a bootloader if you get Odin working. If you didn't try all of the steps I posted please do it again. Also switch cables even though it works for other functions.

Thanks. Yes, I found that. I've been reading about this all day and I think I can safely say that I am not going to be able to undo this without sending my phone for the Jtag. Luckily My phone still operates normally, I just won't be able to flash anything by Odin and when my phone boots it says it's a GT-i9100. I did find a good thread about this for anyone else in the same boat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816931&highlight=wrong+bootloader
In the end, this is what I get for getting careless. Totally my fault.

Wouldn't flashing the whole thing with Mobile ODIN work?
I mean a whole .tar ROM

Recovery issue..I think?

I had the regular cwm recovery, flashed the touch version, been working fine. But tonight when doing a nand backup it failed at the cache backup. I couldn't get back into recovery mode, the closest I got was download mode(not Odin) I was having problems rebooting my phone, it started going into car mode. I downloaded cwm again from the market and was finally able to get back into recovery. Tried flashing a Rom, rebooted and the screen lit up black and that's it. Took me many tried to get into the recovery again, finally did a nand restore, and it was all flickering car mode rapidly. I can't get back into the recovery still, only download mode.

That doesn't sound good. Have you tried ODINing to TWRP or the non touch recovery?

totally confused. Download is Odin... you get into this when you're connected to the PC and do the volume buttons + power.
to get into recovery make sure you're not connected to a PC.

When it goes into this mode it says download mode. Odin mode said Odin mode..

download mode is odin mode you cant do odin unless you are in download mode. i am confused? what do you mean odin says odin download says download. i think i know what you mean but just asking if you know odin is download mode not to say you are a noob.

Before when I would use Odin, my phone would say Odin. Yesterday it would only say download, after flashing twrp touch it seems fine.

I had this issues once before, turned out to be the kernel causing the issue. Did you change your kernel since the last time you backed it up?

Nah I haven't messed with any kernel on this phone just Roms. I think cwm got all frigged up and something happened.

I dun goofed

Tried to root the company S3, hard bricked it. I'm guessing I flashed the wrong files.
Phone turns on and shows Samsung for half a second then turns back off.
Can't enter recovery.
I've been looking around for instructions on how to fix this however I cannot find a definite answer. Any help is appreciated!

Volume Down + Home + Power?
Funny I tried it countless times before posting here and I try it again and I am able to enter. But I have no idea what to do now?
Things on my Nexus are a lot easier lol

You need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware back on there. I found this post that has the stock ROM files for Odin.

If you can get it into Download mode you should be able to flash back to stock using Odin I think, I hard bricked my s3 4 days ago, I took it back to at&t and I received a brand new one .

The problem with this is that when I try to reflash it waits for adb mode and stays stuck there. I think USB debugging is disabled and I have no way of going in and enabling it.

Got it back up with ODIN! Thanks!!

cant root after factory repair

i had my phone rooted before i had to send it into the factory for warranty work. I get it back and do a clean wipe as i did before i sent it in. I have rooted it according to odin but then it says its not rooted.
I have tried every method that has been on the sites and have spent the last 4 hours trying to get my phone to root and nothing at all.
I tried to root on different pcs with odin and still not a damn thing. I searched and use the guides on the site but the phone wont take a root for anything. sense i cant get it to root anymore should i sell it and buy a new one? IF anyone has ideas im open to it. pic is me trying to install cm.

So did you flash the rom from the link? Rom there already root injected and you can also use Odin from link provided.
