So guys, I need some help finding a stock image of the 217S for sprint for my sister's boyfriend's tablet I messed up and the backup is corrupt if some one would be kind enough to direct me to a rom of stock can be rooted or not just needs to have no mods. Even your backup if it has nothing on it. I greatly appreciate it.

Hello,
About a month ago I rooted and installed a custom JB ROM (Kangdroid I believe?) onto my AT&T Galaxy SIII with the custom recovery mod. Now that the official release of JB has come out from AT&T I want to return my phone to it's original factory state with no custom anything, and then update to the official JB release. I don't want to use a custom un-bloated ROM. Call me crazy but I really didn't want to root/mess with the phone in the first place but I really, really, really wanted Jelly Bean. I already have backed up my contacts since that is the only thing I really need to save from my phone at the moment. I can download all of my apps again, etc. I tried searching the forums but couldn't come up with a very clear answer on how to do this. I found it hard to figure out exactly what I needed to do, and since I did this so long ago, I pretty much forgot how to do all of the little things that made my first attempt at flashing/rooting successful. I guess my question is this: What software do I need and what are some links (if any) on this site to help me return the phone to it's original out-of-the box state so that I can update my OS with the Samsung Kies software. Thanks a lot for your help and I hope to hear from some of you soon. Sorry for noobing it up in here.

The same way you rooted it with odin .. download the stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625
push it on with odin and that should revert your phone back to stock ..
So it's been a while since I last rooted a phone. Last time I rooted my phone was back when I had my GS1.
I have the Sprint L710, hence why I'm posting here.
I believe I've successfully rooted my phone as Root Checker says so.
Anyway, I want to flash ROMs but I've forgotten how to do them now.
Is the next step installing CWM? If so, can anyone find me the thread or links on how to do it?
I've completely lost touch on how to do these things. I'm just hoping someone would be able to help me out as I type this out.
SPH-L710
4.1.2
Kernel version - 3.0.31-1130792
Thanks in advance!
If you have a new s3 then you need to use one of these recoveries, flashed through odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
New recoveries for new phones that won't mount storage!!
Other than that, the process for flashing a rom has not changed.
I'm looking for all the help I can get.
I have a Sprint GS4 mini and I got this for my girl. all my phones I've always picked it up directly at sprint so it was always activated so I wasn't away that I would have problems activating her phone that I bought online.
Trying to be proactive so once I gave her the phone nothing would need to be done. I rooted it and installed a custom rom so I could have the bloatware and everything setup nicely for her.
I found out they can't activate it because of the custom rom and it didn't have the sprint PRL. I know the easy answer would be to flash stock, but the 1 stock file that's floating around online does not work, it crashes in ODIN.
I have the Dev of the ROM working with me but i'm hoping to help him and me by putting this out to everyone to see if anyone has any thoughts or a good stock firmware.
Also is it possible for anyone running SPHL-520 to upload a nandroid w/o Data so I can try to restore. I'm lost on what I can do now.
Thanks guys.
I am not a total noob and have done alot of research lately about my problem but have not found a concrete answer. It looks like there are alot of knowledgable people here. My problem is I was trying to get my friends T999 T-Moble phone to KK (CM11) It was already on Official 4.3 so I just rooted it, put TWRP on it, then flashed CM11. Now it looks like I have no signal at all but I don't know if that is caused by not having a Sim inserted.
Did I bork the Modem? If so, What can I do to get it back to stock. Dont care about the warranty counter. Currently I have the stock 4.3 image:
T999UVUENC2_T999TMBENC2_TMB
I have Odin 3.07
I am worried about flashing back down to Official 4.3 since I read about other downgrade issue. I had also made a backup in TWRP of the Stock Rooted rom. I am going to try and restore that to see if that helps or not.
If anyone knowledgeable can help me get it back to stock or at least return signal, I would gladly donate $15 for their time and efforts. In my line of work time is money and there isn't any free IT support. Thanks Guys!
Kind Regards,
Zachariah
Please disregard, I was able to fix it with the Backup I had made of the original firmware. Sorry for any confusion.
Moderators, please close this thread.
Thanks!
Since, Koodo has started carrying G3 (model D852) i bought one and i want to start using custom ROMs (coming from Nexus 5)
but, before i start the process of root and recovery, etc i want to make sure that i have a backup plan i.e. stock koodo factory image for G3
i have been searching all over xda and could not find one, could someone please help me with this.
Also, i am use to installing custom roms, it seems the procedure for LG G3 is much different from Nexus phones ( i owned all of them except N6). So, if i understand it correctly
First, i need to root my device
second, i need to install custom recovery using BUMP
third, i can only install ROM that have been built with BUMP
thanks for the help
Bump!
