[Q] How to return to stock ROM and Recovery Galaxy Grand i9082

I recently root my Galaxy Grand (thanks to chotu222) and flashed it with k2wl's ROM and are working great.
However, I want to know how can I revert this to its original recovery and ROM that is same as brand new. Just in case for warranty purposes.
I hope someone can help me and guide me.
Thanks!

I have rooted the phone with CWM.
Tried to revert back to stock ROM.
But I am stuck at setup connection in Odin.
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
After this it fails.
Do you have any solution for this.
Does this mean the firmware is locked?
Later I upgraded a custom rom - XXAMD6 on baseband ZNMAMB3.
But the problem now is Radio is switched off. So the mobile is not active.
When I try to make a call it says Flight mode is activated. But really flight mode is switched off.
Do you have any solution for this

I think phone boot loader is locked or what. Don't download China firmware. It's totally different all other firmwares.

Hi, can you please elaborate on this?. In ODIN do I point to the firmware file directly under the PDA section and flash?. Or do I need to extract the firmware file and point to PDA, Bootloader, CSC etc separately to the extracted files?. Please help and explain your suggestion in some more detail. I have rooted and installed CWM. I wish to go back to the stock Android Recovery. I already know the process to UNROOT. Thanks in advance for your help.

ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy S4 Active (int'l)[Unofficial]

---------------------Warning!-----------------------------------------
This CWM recovery is for SGS4A (int'l) ONLY. Does not work on SGS4 from AT&T as it has a locked bootloader.
Please refer to this thread for a bounty on the bootloader.
---------------------Instructions for flash with ODIN---------
Download ODIN 3.09 from here.
Download CWM recovery from here.
Extract the zip so you have the file CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5.
Restart your phone while holding the Volume Down button as the phone is booting.
Press the Volume Up button to continue past the warning.
With the phone attached to your computer open ODIN and press AP.
Choose CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5 and press start.
Reboot system
If you already have another version of CWM recovery installed, you can alternatively download CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2_zipFLASH.zip and flash it through CWM recovery.
As always, I take no responsibility in case your phone blows up.

When im right, and you had a custom recovery from chainfires Auto-Root, you can flash my flashable zip. It makes it mouch easier. I cant test it, but i mean it sould work.

I'm sorry,but I'm not sure what you're saying... What zip? What is easier?
EDIT: Ah, now I think I get your post. You might be able to flash with the twrp manager, but the twrp recovery UI itself doesn't work, which is why we need to flash cwm in the first place.

I think this is a recovery. I made flashable Zip of yours/this. So you can flash it through the recovery which you get from auto root. Or did the recovery from auto root doesnt work? If not, forget what i post.:silly:

CF-Auto-Root included not an Custom Recovery for installing ZIPs or so.
You can make a tar for flashing over Odin!? But not with a ZIP .... if the CWM works... you can flash newer version over the cwm!
I have made on tar for flashing over Odin... untested!!! I wait for my deveice so i can not test it!
Its the Recovery from Thread Opener!
@LeJay from where you got this Recovery?
Unpack the ZIP once.. then but it in Odin to PDA and flash it!

Compiled it myself. Kernel is the prebuilt from stock. It's a bit hackish, but it does the job while I try to get CM running.

Can I flash the zip using flash gordon ?

This Is only for the international version. The at&t version has a locked bootloader

So, it's a little buggy but at least it gets the job done in case anyone wants to play with roms. The screen only updates for every second key press, but with a little care you can navigate around. Backup, restore and zip flash works fine. Only fat on external sd card.
It's a little hacky, but works. Although, please don't yell at me if anything goes wrong with your phone. This is baby steps towards custom roms. If you don't know what you're doing stay away from this.

It doesn't work with exfat, which I think is samsungs standard if you format on device.
I have flashed different roms but they all suffer from black screens. Need to recompile with the proper kernel. I've been trying to get cm10 working with the kernel from samsung, but I'm running into problems. Not that experienced with this, so progress is a little slow as I figure out how these things work.

I didn't root the device, CWM offers to root it if you need.
I have no idea why it doesn't work for you, may be there are several modifications of i9295 with different display parameters.

Recompiled CWM with kernel sources. Should work a lot better with proper adb support and no issues with the user interface.

That worked. User interface now works. Still getting "warning no file_contexts" error. Is that a problem?
Also, when you go to reboot, you get the warning about the system trying to reflash stock recovery. If you select "Go Back" It still reboots for some reason.
Thanks for all your hard work.

[Q] Can Anyone Send me a Legit SM-900T PIT file ???

Hi peoples of XDA I am in need of an authentic SM-900T 32GB PIT so I can revive my bricked note. I
Have unsuccessfully tried various sources but all of them seam to stem from the same sm9005 version and when I use odin the note rejects
the file and displays a Secure Check Fail in red letters on screen. This makes me believe a t-mobile pit will aid me in my mission of ressurrection.
Thanks to you all.

I used V3 .04 and .07, and both of them give me a Secure Check Failed error in big red bold letters on screen.
I tried 2 seperate files . My_9005.pit & 9005.pit

Error.

You need to use Odin v9 and the file is about 2.1 GB. Do a google search for the stock firmware and download that (sometimes it comes with Odin automatically) then hit the AP option and find your file.

[Q] GALAXY S4 SGH-M919 Soft brick fix?

It all started when my phone got wet from me jumping into a pool and realizing my phone was in my pocket afterwards, then I put it in rice for 24 hours, battery off the phone of course, then I proceeded to open the phone, dry the motherboard, open the cards and dab them with alcohol and dry them again. THAT, gave my phone life.
THEN, it's stuck on Samsung boot screen, it does not go into recovery and it does go into download mode.

You have to flash a KitKat stock ROM. Can't flash earlier version like MDL.

If flashing NB4 firmware won't work, I'm afraid something may have been fried and won't be fixable by firmware flash even if it does turn on and go into download mode

i cant do it because my phone doesnt go into recovery, by any chance, do you know how to flash a rom through odin?

Isn't using ODIN what you posted in the first post in this thread?
If you can't get into download mode, you may have a deeper problem. Since you couldn't get into "recovery" I'm guessing one of your buttons isn't working.
If you do get it to download mode, I recommend Odin 3.07 or 3.09 (I use 3.09).

yeah I use odin, but idk how to flash a ROM through it i use 1.85

I'm on my phone at work without easy access to links, but if you Google "flash phone ROM with Odin" you will get many walkthroughs.
You were probably almost there with what you did in your first post. However you used an older version of the stock firmware than was on your phone so it failed. Get the KitKat firmware (NB4) and do what you originally tried.
I also recommend using at least Odin 3.07 though I know 3.09 works because I use it.
Basically boot phone to download mode, attach USB cable, let it recognize phone, open Odin, select your proper stock firmware in I think the second of the four places where you can specify the file, press start. Reboot when done.

You flash firmware in Odin, not ROMs.. Don't know if you guys are getting mixed up in this.. All you do is boot to download mode, connect to PC, open Odin, go to PDA, select your firmware and click start

You can flash normal firmware via odin in your situation, if you have this message fw upgrade..... etc your phone is in download mode connect to pc and flash, prefer older odin, v3 1.87 is the best for this. Another way to restore your phone is with kies (if you don't know how there is a thread in forum search it for instructions) . There is not any rescue fw 4.4.2 only pit file you can find but is not necessary.

I have re-flashed the firmware with Odin countless times and the message re-appears, it won't boot and neither booting to recovery works.

I think it is failing to flash. Check at odin at left side if the flash finished well, it must say succeeded 1fail 0 and after removed at 2 last lines. The normal flash time is about 5 minutes for N7100.

There is no error at odin and device don't boot this is strange, Kies can't recognize your device try to put at kies first model and after serial number as saying this guide and after connect your phone to see if like this is possible.

You are sure that you put the correct firmware at odin n7100 has different firmware than n7105 or n7102 etc etc. Each one has it's own

I need a firmware which will let me FLASH EVERYTHING including the latest bootloader and re-partition

The same thing happens with the latest Germany 4.4.2 firmware.
I have noticed that my Bootloader has not been updated because I haven't seen anywhere saying anything about Knox in Download Mode
How can I update my bootloader?
The firmware I tried to flash is: N7100XXUFNE1_N7100DBTFNE1_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar
N7100XXUFNE1_N7100DBTFNE1_DBT

fne1 you tried if I remember well is updating bootloader only you have to check at odin with reset time and auto reboot also phone bootloader update. Notice if bootloader update fails and phone can't go to download mod you have after serious problem.
