[Q] Will Samsung fix this?

So I rooted my phone - only to run app2sd type stuff, stayed on original rom.
I need to send it back under warranty, so I've 'unrooted' it, ran triangle away and flashed over a stock rom (even thought it was already stock) and this is what I now get on the download screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What do you think my chances of Samsung refusing to fix this as their policy is not to fix 'rooted' phones?

have u even tried to search over xda or in Google :silly::silly:

Try to flash stock recovery and use triangle away.

You need to root again, when everything is stock except root run triangle away to reset the counter and after this unroot. Triangle away needs root to work and also stock kernel and stock recovery

Thanks vagsvag and Manjunath324 :good:
I kept getting a flash counter of 1 and device unmodified or a counter of none and device modified
After lots of experimenting with different versions of odin and different versions of triangle away I've finally got it looking good!

Odin is the easiest way, just go into Download Mode and flash away-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533-No need to do anything else, this will put 4.4 on there and erase all your stuff including the internal SD, so back it up if you haven't already.

[Q] CM 11.0 (Kitkat 4.4.2) downgrade to stock ROM?

I have CM 11 flashed on my phone that is rooted. I wanted to downgrade back to any stock ROM for SIM card unlocking purposes. Obviously the CM 11 does not allow SIM card unlocking even with valid unlocking code.
My question is, is that possible? I think the CM 11 upgraded the modem and bootloader, which means there is no way back to older versions.
Can someone please provide some insights? Below are the settings of my phone:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}

Use odin and flash back to 4.3

I'm on cm11 too. Can I simply flash a 4.3 modem and bootloader?

Since you have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone, you came flash any stock ROM in Odin unless that ROM had been compiled for use in Odin. Flashing a ROM that tries to downgrade the bootloader will brick your phone. Look in the development forum for methods to flash back to stock on a phone with a 4.3 bootloader.

Can someone confirm that we can downgrade via ODIN.... i want to reset my phone back to its original settings.
I am in the same boat as the OP

How can I install this rom?

I'd like to install Hyperdrive which is on 4.1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176752).
My phone is on stock 4.4.2 and rooted. Is it possible to install Hyperdrive?

can't guarantee if installing the apk file for it will work...but downgrading to 4.1.2 will brick your phone

To the best of my knowledge you can flash that ROM just as long as you're not downgrading modem or boot loader.

Because it's a zip file flashed in recovery, it won't flash boot loader or modem, so all's well . KK is a finicky beast, so no guarantee it will work properly...but do a backup and give it a go.

Just an update. It flashed perfectly. No problems at all! Just wish there was a hyperdrive like rom on kitkat :/

Tab S 8.4 SM-T700 NF9*Firmware download?

Hey gang, just picked up my 8.4 tab S and noticed it has NF9 firmware base installed. Is there a place I can download this? I'm asking because I want to root it but also want to be able to restore back to factory if need be through Odin.
I see NF7, can I just restore to that and do a system update?
Thanks all!!
