[Q] Remove Cyanogenmod Problem

Hi,
I had stock 4.3 firmware on my att i747 galaxy s3, then I decided to flash cyanogenmod. everything went well but i dont really like it.
Now I want to go back to stock. I tried flashing the stock rom with odin but it fails and it says this on the phone:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 0
The android version it shows is 4.3.1 and im able to use it normally with the cyanogenmod.
What can I do to flash a stock rom back?
EDIT: used triangle away and the custom binary download says "no" now and the current binary says "samsung official" but still get the same problem.
Thank You

You need to flash a stock ROM that has no boot loader attached to it. I just reverted my S3 back to stock from CM11 so that I could sell it. Flash a Rom.zip through recovery and it should work fine. I see you are ATT so I suggest this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998. You have the choice of Stock Rooted without bootloader which is what you will be looking for. This thread also has everything you may need. Do not attempt to use Odin to flash roms with older bootloaders or you will find major issues.
You will almost definitely need to wipe everything so back everything up and be sure to take a Nandroid.

In that thread you have 2 good options that I can see. Scroll down and you will find one ROM by upndwn4par/full and another debloated directly under it. Which you chose depends on if you want Samsung/ Google software on it. The upndwn4par file will have you closer to stock than the other. Please be sure to read a couple pages, even if you don't get any immediate knowledge from it you will become way more familiar with these processes. It's worth the time, and safer for your phone.

Thanks once again, i will download the debloated one. But I have a question, that won't be a stock rom right? If the bootloader is the problem is there a stock d2att 4.3 rom i can flash?

That is a stock ROM. It is just pre rooted with knox removed. It is a modified version of the Stock OTA with the problematic parts removed..

You need a custom recovery to flash this. CWM or TWRP. I'm not too sure how you got to CM without one but be sure you have one and then flash the Rom from above. You can install CWM with the app 'Rom Manager'.

I installed CWM but now that i used cyanogen for a while im starting to like it. The only thing that I dont like is the music player. I downloaded google play but it is even worst, my playlists are not even in order. Is there any way of flashing the stock samsung music player on cyanogenmod or is it integrated with the touchwiz?
Thanks for all the help you gave me so far.
EDIT: I found this thread about ported s4 apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267029, can i just flash it with CWM using cyanogenmod?

You can not flash that S4 port. It says it is specifically for the Galaxy advance. Also you are correct that the Samsung player requires Touchwiz. Try Power Amp, it has pretty good reviews and features. A 3rd party player is probably your best bet. You can cherry pick for features

I tried a lot of players and didn't like any. Flashed the ROM you indicated using CWM and it worked. Did it all for the player Everything is working fine now and I really like how it doesn't have all the bloatware from att.
Thank you very much for the help.

[Q] Now stuck PLS HELP

This is my very first post i have found many solution on this forum which helped me & my friends But need help with this 1
Ok here goes my Story
I have recently brought s3(used) it was on 4.3 & rooted with philz touch 6 didn't check the firmware details etc
As i was playing with philz touch 6 & did something which i remember was to clean rom or some thing now the phone boots & shows Samsung Galaxy SIII & stops there
I think its on I747UCUEMJ2 Modified ROM » Root, KNOX Disabled, SE-Linux Disabled not sure
Is there a way to get it back ..?

If you are able to access download mode, you could easily flash a custom ROM.

S i can access download mode
Can i go back to stock or only custom firmware from now on..?

If I were you, I would go to a custom firmware. That is if you have a custom recovery like ClockWorkmod or TWRP. But you can flash stock, at least to my understanding. But I'd look into that.
(Your bootloader will need to be unlocked too)

I am on Clockworkmod v6.0.3.1 the thing is i don't want a custom firmware 2 many problems
I would like to load stock buy have read most of them get their phones bricked

If you were on the 4.3 official stock ROM that was pushed out, you have a possibility of bricking your device downgrading to lets say the 4.1.2 stock ROM.
A custom ROM isn't bad though. If you do like Touchwiz based ROMs you may be able to find one in the development section.

What information are you wanting to backup?
You'll have to find your ROM of choice. If you want a reliable ROM then I'd recommend something that is stable, which should always be said in the thread,

Contacts could be backed up if you sync with your gmail account. SMS can be done by an application on the market. Notes that are synced on Evernote or Keep should just be there.

[Q] How to root p5220 Tab3 10.1

Hi guys, I just bought my tab 3 10.1 not long ago.However I been searching high and low for rooting method for my tab, here what I found : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467 which is for p5210 and I heard I might brick my device and I have to re-flash everything back, but I also saw people have done and it works. So my questions is will this work on my tab 3 p5220XXUAML1, if not how should i root my tab?

you must first install twrp or cwm with odin first.
by the way, can you do a testing before you root? can you install antutu and run a benchmark? i am getting only 14k with P5220, but all review suggesting it should be around 19k. i feel laggy with my tab, i dont know it is because i am not using original stock firmware....

Thanks for the reply, I know I must have custom recovery and that's what about in the link, and I just wanna confirm that this version of the cwm will not gonna brick my device. And about the benchmark, i got around 18.2K, i am on original stock firmware.

i confirm that root is ok, please get it from CWM thread.
by the way, how can you get 18.2k? i just flashed to stock firmware and i got only 15k... may i confirm you using P5220/ which firmware version? do you mind to share the version?

Sure why not mine is P5220XXUAML1. Thanks for the answer and I gonna try that CWM and root tomorrow. Mind if you share with me the root and custom recovery file? Is ok if it's Odin or Flash.zip

[Q] Installl a custom ROM while Rooted STOCK

I have rooted my S4 Mini so I could move apps into the SD Card and remove bloatware.
Samsung and my Operator have just put so much bloatware that is impossible to remove them without flashing a Custom ROM.
Now I am still rooted, and I still have the stock recovery and ROM. My questions are:
1) Which ROM is more stable/aosp? Cyanogenmod (10.2 ?) or SlimKaT ROM?
2) Can I install a custom ROM withthe stock Recovery? Is it recommended?
3) Any guides available that will help me do it, (given that I am ALREADY rooted and with stock rom?)
Thanks

1. This a a very subjective matter that get asked over and over again. You got to have to try it for yourself. Slimrom is by far, the only ROM with the least pre-installed app.
2) You can't install a custom ROM with stock recovery.
3) Since you didn't mention which method you use to ROOT (as few rooting method will install CWM for you), the first thing you need to do if to check if you have custom recovery. Some root method such as SafeRoot don't allow this operation (again you need to clarify). The easiest way is to install CWM is via ROM Manager from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager which the app will install CWM for you. Note that this will trigger Knox if you phone is protected by it.

first of all please specify ur model .. we have here 3 types .. lte model i9195 , dual sim model which i have i9192 and the single sim i9190
..thing is if you have an i9192 we dont have any aosp/cm/aokp for them as these roms require single sim and radio drivers doesnt get ported easily
... secondly u MUST CHECK if u have a knox bootloader or not ... if u dont know knox .. its just a flag in download mode "0x0" if u attempt to flash any bootloader in the phone throught odin even .. it turns "0x1" and IT CANNOT BE 0X0 AGAIN !! ..this voids the warrenty if u have of if its a job's phone u will face problems ...if u dont have "knox void warrenty" sentence in the download mode u are lucky and BE CAREFUL of flashing bootloaders .. in this case avoid flashing any new stock firmwares because they have knox .. remove knox from a guide here and then flash :highfive: ... thirdly as far as i know cm/aosp based roms here are stable but as usual they are not that good in camera and they are only avilable for i9190/i9195 ... u cant install a custom rom from stock recovery ..stock recovey flashes ONLY signed samsung zips "upgrade packages"
... 4th search by yourself xda is full of guides and here in s4 mini forum we have almost all needed guides :highfive: ... sorry for writing alot but when u asked about installing a custom rom with stock recovery is a "newbie" question so i thought to tell u everything

Thank for the helps guys.
First of all ROM Manager does not support my phone . I says that it can not find a suitable Recovery to install.
My model is i9195.
My Knox warannty is not valid anymore (It says warranty bit not found).

Also, I found this guide http://www.s4miniarchive.com/2013/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-gt.html
but I do not want to install the custom kernel. Will it be ok to skip the first step and just flash the Recovery?

Hmm, odd. I thought I did my CWM by ROM Manager. Any case just do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
Do step 2-6 and you will have CWM.
PS. I'm not sure why you worry about the custom kernel, if you going to use custom ROM, it will have a custom kernel.

The reason is that I want to avoid using a custom kernel is because I read that some of them are 'insecure'.
Anyway, I will give it a try (steps 2-6) and see if it works.

I'm going to guess that you're on the OE1 firmware. Have you tried flashing the Noterized ROM?

I'm pretty new at this so I dont know what noterized rom is. Could you tell me what that is and how i could flash it?

Have you tried looking in the Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Android Development sub-forum for a ROM with the word Noterized in the title? Then flashing it like all the other ROMs you've flashed, through TWRP?
My honest opinion is you should have done a lot more reading and learning before trying to change the operating system of your phone. But since you have already started my advice is learn to use the XDA search function and Google. Find all you can about issues like yours and how, if possible, to solve them.
After all, the point is to learn how to solve problems yourself, isn't it? Because XDA is not a fast-food drive-thru of modding, you are expected to put in the effort to learn.
