[Q] Original ROM?

Okay, well I tried getting a friend into rooting and Custom Roms, but It seems as though he would rather just have the original stock rom. So basically the way the phone comes out of the box. Unfortunatley he lost the SD card with the back-up soooo? Does anybody know where I can find the Stock Rom so I can flash it? Thank :s

Just give him like Sprint lovers or Fresh and he won't know the difference

i have the latest, stock, rooted rom right here

Thanks for the prompt reply. The Rom I flashed is the 4.4.2 snapshot.
In the meantime i flashed this pit file from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137008
and now the CYM is back and working but still no baseband.
Is there any way i can reinstall the stock rom ? is the partition a problem?
I dont have a backup of the EFS folder (I made it once but i cant find it)
EDIT: CWM is installed and working

is your IMEI Same..?
i assume there are several reasons, it can be a simple fix by installing a stock 4.4 KK which will eliminate the problem you are facing, iin past week, i done alot of experiences on my bricked note 2, specially the failed PIT flashed, i tried couple of them but at the end the only thing turned the phone in right direction was stock KITKAT
you can find that in the the post i posted earlier.
i am 100% sure you will get your phone back to life.
also remember to when you are done flashing go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache. It is needed after re-partiton to form the partitions correctly
edit: best keep a nand of your current rom as well
4.4.2

Exactly. Flashing the official stock rom based on kitkat 4.4.2 (which has been released few days ago I believe) solved the problem. I'll try to flash CM tomorrow (tonight get.cm is not reachable and can't download the android app).
Thank you!

Just wanted to ask you something. I installed the Nordic version of the latest Android update which is at the moment the only one available and I have the impression that the voice quality is not that good. I was wondering if this may depend on the baseband version installed on this one. I'm from Italy and kitkat 4.4 is still not available in my country. Flashing a different baseband may change the situation? If so, Is there a baseband more compatible with this touchwiz version and the Italian telco providers?
Thank you again,
Davide

[Q] Installing JB or Kitkat on i8160P XXLK3 with GB

Hi all,
I have been strugling for months to get JB or KitKat running on my i8160p XXLK3. The stock rom is on GB 2.3.6 and it is repeatedly soft bricked for some reason.
I have tried:
- Flash Clockworkmod 6
- TeamCanjica 4.4.2 i8160p rom (radio is disabled and cannot be enabled)
- McClaw 4.4.3 roms (imei is lost, so no phone signal)
- DBT-I8160pxxmg2 german stock rom for 4.1.2 (which doesn't even flash: install aborted)
I have always been forced to flash back to clockworkmod 5 with Odin to be able to recover my GB rom.
I have seen other users with the i8160p (and even XXLK3) to be running kitkat or JB. I haven't been able to find a proper way to achieve that though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what you are hinting at, but I don't have any issues with the FM radio... I have issues with the GSM network to connect:
- With 4.4.2 TeamCanjica i8160p ROM the network settings are extremely slow. Sometimes networks appear, but soon disconnect. No stable connection (due to radio or modem?). I guess I am still using the gingerbread modem which doesn't come with the 4.4.2 custom rom?
There is no official release for jellybean for my phone (XXLK3), so I don't know which one to flash to get this working.

I dont know much about regions and sim locks and stuff so hopefully a knowledgeable P variant user help you. Sorry

Have you tried to update with Samsung Kies to JB first, and after that to flash kitkat? Ore with Odin to flash JB?

Thanks for your quick reply. For some reason the phone does not connect with USB in windows 8.1. Updating via Kies is therefore not an option. Also, I believe the latest official release for this model is still 2.3.6 (unlike the same phone in other countries).
I would like to flash JB through odin, but I have yet to find a rom that supports i8160p (XXLK3). Also I am a bit unsure if I need to backup anything expect for the standard CWM recovery backup, I have read that users forgot to backup essential settings that Samsung stores on the phone and which are needed to revert back to GB if needed.
If you have suggestions for a rom to flash, or a procedure to follow. Very welcome!

Hi, Finally I was able to flash the i8160P german version mentioned above through ODIN. Through the CWM recovery it had failed. I am now running 4.1.2 with a working modem. Does this mean the modem is now upgraded and ready to flash kitkat?

I have installed the latest nightly of cyanogenmod 11 now. Before i have the stock AT&T 4.4.2 rom.
To install the custom rom i have to flash the stock AT&T 4.1.2 rom, after that root that one, install freegee, install CWMR. And after that install the cyanogenmod rom from the recovery mode.}
To make the 4.1.2 rollback i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660

The method above is exactly what you need to do for a good deep sleep on custom kk ROM... If you don't like the custom kk ROM and want to try another one ...do process all over again with new ROM. Good luck

[Q] Downgrade from Custom 4.4.2 to stock 4.3 possible?

Hi everyone I hope this is not a repetition of some old thread (I tried but couldn't find though).
I was using my note 2 (T889) on stock 4.3 which i previously flashed via odine. A couple of days ago i came by this good looking kitkat based rom ( eZKAT v2.0 ) and went on to try it. the rom flashed flawlessly and after flashing my modem i got the signals as well but the wifi was not working. tried using dr. ketans wifi patch but didnt get the wifi to working. Anyhow, I decided to go back to 4.3 via odine. The odine flashing completed successfully but i got stuck on T-mobiles boot screen for hours.
Is there anything called "you cant go back to 4.3 from 4.4.2"? If yes, then whats the way around? I really need to go back to the stock.
Thanks.

I had this problem on my Note also. Downgrading versions of Android requires a data wipe. You will need to reflash your 4.4 ROM then backup your data if you want. Save your backup to your computer then install the 4.3 image.

I already tried that but still the booting stuck on the t-mobile logo. I read somewhere that locked bootloader don't let you downgrade to previous version. Is this true?

In that case. Try finding a 4.3 rom that's close to stock.
Sent from my Nexus 7

The locked bootloader is always in stock firmwares i.e 4.3 for the Note 2 but not in custom roms meaning u can even install Lollipop custom on it & downgrade smoothly, i have done that many times. The problem is 4.3 stock firmware has locked bootloader hence downgrading still keeps u in 4.3 bootloader even if u remove all the KNOX files.

Stuck trying to downgrade from custom 5.1.1 to stock 4.3
Hi, i have a problem like this, upgrade to a custom 5.1.1 and then sell the phone, the new owner wants to have it stock, i try to downgrade to 4.3 but i cant, in odin i set the phone to flash it but seems like it doesn`t recognize the phone and i dont know why, so, i decided to try in recovery mode installing from the sd card but the sistem abort, so, i don`t know what to do, i`ll appreciates any help, sorry for my english, i do my best. (i have root access before upgrated to 5.1.1).
