Currently on a custom ROM with custom recovery. How do I set it back to stock? Just flash the firmware? If so how? Need help ASAP please

Put a stock Update file on your SDcard /dload folder
turn of your phone and boot your phone in recovery. So keep pushing on/off button, + and - button together.
Hold them pressed till the recovery menu comes and it will do the rest automaticly.

If you're able to boot into cwm, then you're fine.
I'm assuming you were flashing a ROM, so just wipe everything x3, and reflash the ROM or a different one.

Sounds like you may still have stock kernel on a custom rom.

That's what I was thinking. Try flashing a kernel.

Now that doesn't make sense. You can safely get into CWM, but not into download mode?
I have to ask to make sure. With the phone off, you're holding the 1 key on the keyboard and then holding the power button?
Well if that's the case, get to a PC and insert your SD card into a reader. Download a kernel, like Genocide v2 or etc to the card, and boot into CWM to flash the new kernel off the card. See if that helps.
yes i hold down 1 and the power button, and i tried the genocide2.0 and it still does the same just the samsung screen has a different logo
Sounds like my hardware locked vibrant try flashing cm7 or miui then see if you can make it back to dl mode

What ROM are you trying to flash? If you are getting the Sammy screen, you aren't far away from success

Update: I have tried all new kernals and new roms, now my phone will not boot to root anymore, nor download mode, it will only freeze on SAMSUNG screen only. I Think its time to take a trip to sprint

If your phone has life you should be able to get into download mode. Take your battery out, press the power button for 10 seconds. With the battery still out connect with cable to computer and press and hold the 1 key on the keyboard and then add pressing and holding the power button. Download mode will appear. Connect to Odin now.

Hi everybody. I just try to root my sgh t999v but after Ive flash cwm on my videotron, I go into recovery but I still was in android recovery. I have made the last update from videotron. Please help

This was said about the problem on the mobility variant by doc holiday yesterday
Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.
When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)
When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)
Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.
Once booted delete/rename these files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.
Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.
Hope that helps.

Download quickboot from play store and use that to go into download mode. Doesn't cm9 have extended power menu?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
i have quick boot, so i can use that to go to download and flash into el26 from there?
as for extended power menu, do you mean using volume button to wake phone? because it's really glitchy and will only work the first few seconds after the screen turns off, then i have to either take the battery out or have a friend text me to wake it -.-
I'm on PA, and the reboot menu has a Download option, not sure if QuickBoot has the same thing. The "download" option allows you to hook up to Odin.

Yeah use download mode in quick boot to go to Odin download mode.

and from there i can flash to the el26 recovery, and then flash to either a stock rom or whatever?, do i need to use power button to navigate el26 recovery or is it just volume/menu

Go to sprint once you are on stock unrooted.. Get that power button fixed first. Don't mess with custom Roms.

okay, because on cm9 now you can only use power button to select things in the recovery, also I don't have insurance or warranty so it's 35$ to repair it right?
So I'm running an unlocked rogers galaxy note 2 I1737M. I was using clean rom 3.3 then today it just crashed everything. I tried to reboot to recovery and well it got stuck in a boot loop there. This was at work so now several hours later I am sitting here trying to reset set my phone. I have tried odin to restore to the stock files, hell I would be happy with just that. I used the imiage found in the refrence thread of the android develpment. any tips? links? help of any kind? Anything will be greatly apreceated.
worst part is I got it yesterday.
EDIT: I thought I should add that I am using odin v1.85 and that I am unable to get the phone to boot into anysort of recovery, ok I did once but can't get it to do it again. Not even stock.

I'm unable to boot into the recovery, custom or stock. It displays the samsung logo then once again reboots itself......
Had the same issue.
What kernel were u on.
Only fix I founfd that didn't wipe data was ro download CWM recovery on a pc and place with odin. Boot into download mode by holding volume down, home and power. Might take a few tries between boot loops.

I was using Stock LJ2 kernel CMW-flashable. After several hours of fighting with TWRP I was able to install CWM using odin and got my self out it looks like. The only thing with CWM is that data wipe seems to crash the recovery so I hope this dirty install of the rom I had saved on their works just fine.
My power button recently stopped working so i went into recovery and it wouldn't work there either (couldn't select an option). So i pulled the battery for a reboot but now when it reboots by itself, it goes back to the recovery. Its stock recovery and I'm running Jellyverse v4. I tried going into Odin and then pressing volume down to reboot but it goes back to recovery. I don't want to flash EL29 because if my power button still doesn't work on that, I wont be able to boot up. Is there some way I can get out of recovery?

When you go into EL29 recovery make sure you press volume up and down to enable back power button.
Be master of mind rather than mastered by mind.

If your power button doesn't work, then you DON'T want to press volume up, down, up in cwm. Default "select" button in el26/el29 is the home button. So you can flash el29, the power button is disabled by default, use the home button to select and run your restore, and you're golden.

Yeah I figured it out after installing EL29. I had to do a clean flash of Jellyverse because I didn't have a backup because the phone wouldn't back up my current ROM for some reason. But at least I'm not stuck in recovery. Thanks though!
