Hi! I recently got thunderom on my tab s 10.5 inch WiFi version and would like to go back to stock. I made a backup in twrp when I had a stock rooted ROM. So would I just flash that without any problems and what would I do. Also, would you get some sort of pit file error in twrp when flashing my backup? Thanks! I just wanted to go back since I miss some of the stock apks.
Just go into twrp. Hit restore and choose your stock backup. When it's finished reboot and you will be back to stock.

No matter what I do, I am stuck with the 'Nuthin but honey theme" because I did not make a nandroid backup.
All of the instructions going back to stock aren't really going back to stock.
So am I stuck with this theme until an update comes out, or is there no way to unflash or get rid of the theme. I flashed back to stock using Odin but without a real wipe of data, I keep getting this damn theme. It's annoying now.
So any help is appreciated.
What are you flashing in ODIN??
Is it just a kernal or are you flashing full STOCK System restore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420 Use this to go back to stock make sure you factory reset
Is it possible to have a rooted device, use nandroid to make a backup, revert to stock/unroot, and then restore data from that backup? Can you even use the backup after you unroot?
never tried that - although I do not see why not
odin back to factory reset
you will need to odin clockwork recovery as stock recovery will not work
three finger startup to Clockwork
then go to restore - advanced - pick the file and restore data only
I just learned about advanced restore recently but have not done what you ask
If it does not work you can restore to where you were with no harm done
remember that titanium backup only works with root access.
If you're stock then you won't have the recovery needed to do a restore from the nand backup.
Yes, you would have to have clockwork recovery installed also though. Then just odin back to one of the stock images. Then later re root and reinstall clockwork and restore back up.
If you are talking about EI22 and want to keep CWM as a recovery to be able to restore said backup then you will need a custom kernel anyway so that the stock recovery doesn't keep overwriting CWM. What is the reason why you want to do this?

I screwed up my phone a while back with the crappy samsung cable that comes with it. Ever since it has been slower and my pc won't recognize it no matter what I do. So I bought a new cable and I wanted to revert to stock to try and start over with the rooting and custom rom process, but I didn't want to lose all my contacts, apps, music, etc. in the process.

OK. once you root again and have CWM back on you will be able to restore everything. So Odin away to EC05 stock, one-click root, flash a GB ROM and restore your data.
Well you should always be saving your contacts to your google account, then when you sign back in it will just use your account to reload your contacts. Your music is saved to SD, so when yiou open any new music program it should search your SD and find the music. Likeness previous posts, the issue your going to have doing this is not having a custom recovery...you wont be able to restore a nand with stock recovery. I agree with previous posts, it sucks you'll lose data, but the most functional and clean way to do this would be to Odin to EC05, use the EC05 to EI22 modem zip in the development section, and flash your custom rom and kernel. If you are concerned with performance and lag, see Universeral Adrenaline Shot and Supercharger script...good Luck!

I installed cm10 did not like it so i restored to my stock rom which i had a back up of in CWM. Stock samsung restored fine but i try to go into CWM and it is not there anymore and goes into stock recovery mod. Did CWM get deleted and do I have to reinstall CWM ?
Thanks !
Stock ROM = stock recovery...wonder if u lost ROOT as well?
if so Root and re-install CWM or TWRP.
I have my stock ROM backed up also, been thinking of going back to ICS for a bit and trying to find a rooted,de-bloated stock Rogers ROM in flashable ZIP format so I dont have to do the whole process again lol....no luck yet

Which is the correct way to go stock with One V? When i unlocked my bootloader, flashed an recovery, i took an backup of stock ROM with TWRP. Can i just use "Restore" function from TWRP when i have wiped the whole phone, or what?
Yes just restore it.But,of you want to go completely stock as if the phone came out the box,use an RUU.
Thanks for the answer. No, I am not staying at stock, I had just thing which i needed to do with stock. =)
Also,flash the kernel from the backup,or your restore will not work.
Hello
Need some help figuring out how to go back to stock.
I have already downloaded the latest TWRP backup and recovery for my CID (621). Used 1.92.709.1 version by @topjohnwu.
I put it into the TWRP Backup folder and restored it. Now phone bootloops when I turn it on.
The question is: what am I doing wrong?
(I was running LeeDroid 4.00 Nougat ROM on the moment I decided to go back to stock)
I had the same problem yesterday when I was trying to revert to stock my self.
Turned out I had forgot to format (Did a wipe instead) the data partition and the now un-decryptable encryption was messing up the boot process.
Rebooted into twrp and formated (Not wiped) the data partition -wich also removes the encryption- and it booted normally.
I still had some other issues though, think it's because I was recovering from a sort-off allready messed up backup I guess, so I ended up flashing back the stock recovery and did an RUU update to the most recent stock nougat from SD instead. As a bonus I was able to do a Oreo OTA the moment it booted the forst time.

Is your firmware newer than 1.92.709.1? If so you'll either need a newer backup that matches your firmware version or an RUU.zip that is the same or newer than you current firmware version.
What made you want to go back?
