Thanks, but the first thing I do is search, and search. I ran into brick walls and nothing clear. All I needed was a link to the right place, not lesson on how to use search. Rooted and flashed many roms in the years I have been doing this, just never went back to stock. But lucky for me, I do have some friends that are more experienced and was able to get me back to stock.

Start here and follow the intructions to get back stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992303
You will also have to flash your firmwire in odin(scroll down to section 5) to get the stock software which your phone came with, make sure you select the right one depending on your phone:

[Q] Debrand e975

Hi. To start, let me state that I am a noob to android.
Now, I purchased an e975 where it should be unbranded. But it was with Starhub Singapore. Bought from US and I am in Europe.
So, I am trying to find a way to debrand the phone. Flashing a valid LG rom would be ok too, but I cannot find any post stating if there is a way to do this and how.
Bottom line, I will return the phone but that would mean some delay I am trying to avoid.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Push thanks is i helped

Thanks, but this is not the case. The device is not locked. It's branded. It's full of useless carrier specific apps and logos that can't be removed.

- root, unlock and install a custom rom
- use an kdz image from here for your phone model:

please read the threads for the correct phone model

Well, I've seen a bunh of posts and threads describing stuff, but I'm getting more and more lost trying to follow links and trying to depict points from any next post...
The best match I've managed to find is an article about unbricking a phone... This appears like a reasonable procedure for changing rom to a device...

Sorry for being so persistent, but I am not confident enough to start a procedure if I can't know that it is the correct procedure to be followed.. Shouldn't there be something like a wiki article with a step-by-step procedure from a to z on how to flash a kdz, from rooting to wiping to flashing to booting?

[Q] "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" - Galaxy S4 - Help

Hello Folks,
Nice site you have here I've heard it said that hacking is the new avant garde.
I have a: Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. GT-I9195 4.2.2. I got it here new in Germany a month ago.
A week ago, I tried to install Lollipop and didn't really understand what I was doing. Something seems to have gone wrong.
Now when I switch the mobile on, the Galaxy Logo appears but also a little yellow text message: "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" at the top of the screen. After this the mobile does nothing except display this message.
As I understand it, I should have 'rooted' the mobile first before trying to flash Lollipop via Odin. Correct?
Also, as I now understand it, I should have placed Lollipop on the SD card before trying to flash the mobile with Lollipop. correct?
I'm totally new at this and would appreciate it if someone can help direct me towards getting the mobile working again? And if I could run a better version of software I'd be thrilled!
Kind regards...

Hi there, according to my understanding if you have bought the phone recently, the stock version should have been 4.4.2. But anyways, u cannot flash Lollipop via odin. U need a custom recovery like cwm or TWRP for that. Not sure about the "set warranty bit" thing. May be KNOX has been tripped.At this moment i would suggest you to download a fresh firmware, from SAMMOBILE, to your to PC. Then flash it via ODIN. Thanks.

Hello Matesurano! Thank you for your help!
Hi there, according to my understanding if you have bought the phone recently, the stock version should have been 4.4.2.
- Yes you are correct. It's is actually 4.4.2
But anyways, u cannot flash Lollipop via odin. U need a custom recovery like cwm or TWRP for that.
- Thank you for this info. I was not aware that this was the procedure. I will somehow look into this method.
May be KNOX has been tripped
- Yes, I believe that Knox has been tripped. Mobile screen reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9195
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
WRITE PROTECTED; ENABLED
Using Odin I've tried to flash these files but had no luck in getting the mobile to boot up and work.

If somebody knows how to get this phone running I would be so happy!

Check the file names of the rom you are trying to flash via Odin as they do not match your phone model. You are flashing the wrong version of firmware by the looks of it

Lol, aren't those .zip files for the jfltexx?

To this moment there is no official lollipop firmware for the galaxy s4 mini, however you can always use something else like cyanogenmod (i personalidade dont like it).
Here is a download link for KitKat official release.

Good morning Yilun,
Thank you for your help and your suggestion at SamMobile
When I check that link you gave I see that it is a UK firmware. I am in Germany and see that a 'Germany (E-Plus)' firmware is available for download and since that is the carrier my mobile is from I will go with that one. I hope it will work!
I will not be able to have access to a Windows computer until Friday but will try to flash the mobile then and report back my success.
RuffBuster, I appreciate you trying to help but if you can do give more info next time in the way that Yilun has then that would be more beneficial to the people you are trying to help. some extra direction can go a long way.
Thank you to everyone on this forum
Kind regards,

To much effort for people who do to little reading... you shouldn't attempt any kind of flashing without doing the appropriate research. I spent weeks researching before I did anything with my phone.
And 2 seconds with Google you would have found this website. "Samsung firmware" and voilà the first search result.
Next time don't be lame and tell me what I "should" of done. Just be thankful I answered at all...

RuffBuster, Your answer contained no useful info. If you are not able to actually elaborate on the help you think you are giving then you are not actually helping anyone. Seems like you just want to give half answers to stroke your ego and collect posting points or something. Tell you what though, how about you do yourself a favour and go outside, there is a whole world beyond your phone. Feel free to write something childish back, I promise won't read it.

WHATS THIS?
This is my port of CF-AUTOROOT for the Samsung Galaxy TAB E.
You flash this at your own risk. Please ensure you have the stock ROM to hand downloaded from SAMMOBILE or a TWRP backup in case of problems. This will trip the knox counter.
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
cfautoroot_sm-t377p.tar
cfautoroot_sm-t560nu.tar
NOTE: ON SOME 5.1.1 DEVICES IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:
Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking
AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.
STOCK TWRP IMAGE FOR SM-T377P
This is a link to the stock system, boot, modem image for the T377P in case anyone needs it. Needs to be restored with twrp.

FRP lock
Any suggestions on getting pass an FRP lock? My niece tried to root it but didn't turn on the enable OEM unlock. I just literally got it so don't have a back up and stock rom is no where I can find online even tried the Samsung Switch software and the T377P is not an option.

Isn't there a recovery mode in the SS software that allows the firmware to be reflashed?

That was my plan ...however they do not support this model number yet so its not available to be reflashed. I checked sammobile as well figuring I could download firmware and use Odin to reflash and same situation.

There's a chance the sm-t377R4 firmware may flash as it's practically identical to the sprint firmware just a different csc.

Okay....will try and find that one.

Hi, I had a question. The Samsung Tab E is my first android device (I am a IOS user, so i know how to Jailbreak, but I don't know how to root!). My friend told me to root it, but I don't really know how to do it. Can you post a step by step tutorial. Also, after i rooted can i update my device to a newer version or do i have to remove the root. Lastly, how do you back up your device? Thank you! I appreciate your hard work!

You can follow the tutorial below, it's for the Tab A but the procedure is identical.
Obviously don't use the cf_autoroot file in the tutorial use the one here. Also note the PDA button in Odin is now called AP.

You can update your device with odin anytime you want but not via ota.
To back up you device you need to install TWRP.
Search Google for info on using TWRP.

I tried the t377R4 firmware that didn't work. Any idea on where I could track down a copy of the t377p? Odd I can't even use the Samsung Smart Switch or even Kies as it doesn't recognize the model number. Or if anyone has a backup available they can share please let me know.

I have a US Cellular Samsung Tab E SM-T377R4 and I rooted it using the procedure below. The root process went fine and everything is working well except Recovery Mode does not work. It just boots to a black blank screen when I try to go to Recovery Mode. But that's no big deal to me.

Surprised recovery doesn't work, considering the 2 devices are identical specs.
Try installing Twrp, you'll probably find that works OK.

Rooting gone bad... Rooted my SM-T377P with KingRoot and there is an FRP Lock that comes up a week later. All of the custom ROM versions I have keep getting rejected by ODIN every time I try to flash them. The only other way I can think of doing this is to flash the stock ROM for the device.

Going through the same exact thing here. Trying to flash G950USQS2BQL1 that I got from Sammobile and first got the mismatch then I tried flashing with Prince Comsy's version of Odin and got the Fail auth. Now it's just stuck at SetupConnection. Let me know if you find any way that works please. I'll keep you updated if I figure it out.

I actually accidentally fixed it yesterday and successfully returned to stock. Even got Samsung pay and Android pay to work. I'll check out what files I used when I get home and let you know.

Try getting the firmware from updato instead of sammobile.

got mine working from sam mobile. https://dl.sammobile.com/M1FcRjxCIS...kRYXA../G955U1UES2AQL1_G955U1OYM2AQL1_VZW.zip

Gents, can somebody help me? I've got a unlocked S8+ that I got from Samsung not knowing that key features I need like wifi calling wouldn't work. My current software is U1. So, how can I flash the stock Verizon firmware on my phone so that I get the wifi calling? I travel overseas a lot and need it. I'm tech/computer savy but am clueless on cell phones.. So any step by step instructions would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to flash the stock verizon files in ODIN. You can search XDA or Google it. There are threads that explain it. Backup your phone, download the files - might take a while, unzip, and flash. It will wipe your phone.
