I need some advice on restoring my s4mini lte back to stock.
My baseband says: I9195XXUAMF5
But there's no finland/international/nordic version of that firmware here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195
H3G (united kingdom) I9195XXUAMF5 is the closest one I think, but is it safe to flash that one?
My stock firmware 4.2.2 didn't have knox, so trying to avoid installing/tripping it. I would only like to restore it back to 4.2.2, but if restoring to 4.4.4 doesn't trigger knox then sure why not.
I'll check the restoring procedure from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751224
Other threads about this question had few months old last messages and they didn't really have my problem.
Edit:
Steps to flash stock firmware back:
1. Register to http://www.sammobile.com/ and search to right firmware.
2. Download the firmware (free download is slowish)
3. Download odin 3.09.
4. Reinstall Samsung usb drivers. For example with Kies (usb connection troubleshooting)
5. Unzip the downloaded firmware file.
6. Start the phone by holding volume down+home buttons and the also press and hold power button. Click volume up when given the choices.
7. Start odin.
8. Plugin the phone via usb to pc.
9. Tick options: Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
10. Press AP button and browse/select the unzipped .tar file from the firmware zip.
11. Click Start and wait until the phone fully reboots and usually stucks on Samsung logo loop.
12. Unplug the phone and shutdown it by holding power button.
13. Start the phone by holding volume up+home buttons and the also press and hold power button.
14. Phone should boot to Samsung recovery.
15. Use volume buttons to scroll and power button as "enter"/select.
16. Do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
17. Phone reboots after you wipe cache partition and it boots up as it would when you bought it from store. (this first boot takes some time, give it at least 15mins)
18. Done.
If you don't want to nave Knox you must find tour old firmware file, but I searched on Google and didn't find nothing about.
Another way is to flash Finland kitkat firmware, but you'll have knox

Thanks! Seems I was looking from the wrong place. This place is even faster with the download, although I had to once again use my spam account to register
Edit:
Success!
Knox wasn't tripped!

I have a question that may sound simple to you guys but too me its not. I would like to know how to go back to complete, stock. Stock Rom, Stock Kernel, Stock baseband. So pretty much out of the box. I had a Nandroid but I accedentaly deleted it. I just want to flash stock and the click on software update on my phone and be up too date on my carrier. I have the Sgh-T999V Videotron S 3, My baseband is : T999VVLLH2
I am currently on Infamous Rom v4.5.
Someone please help me I just want stock. Roms arent good for me. Detailed instructions if possible.
This is a post I found on here, with some modification from my part:
Go here to download your firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ - Put in your model number under search, it will come up.
Will look something like this: http://gyazo.com/719e8730e6edda5bfce2409cd5a44207
Place it where you will find it, maybe like your desktop / documents, etc. if it is downloaded as zip, extract it to retrieve the md5 file.
Download kies from samsung website as well
- Download Odin from this website: (http://www.android.gs/download-odin-1-85/)
- Put your device in restore mode: (press and hold home + volume up + power when device shutdown keep pressing only home and volume up until you see samsung logo)
- now wipe cache and wipe data
- Put your device in Download mode: (press and hold home + volume down + power when device shutdown keep pressing only home and volume down until you see samsung logo)
- press volume up: to go in download mode
- open Odin:, now uou see a com port added to odin (it's your phone)
- Make sure checkbox Auto Reboot and F. reset Time are checked. DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION!
- Click on PDA and select your firmware md5 file:
- when you are ready, click on start and wait
-Look for the word "Pass" in your odin, that means it is done flashing. Let the phone reboot on its own.
When your device is restarting you will see your stock firmware running
If for any reason you are stuck in bootloop after you are done flashing (it does not restart) Do not panic...Simply go into recovery mod and Factory reset, Wipe Partition, and reboot
That's the general concept...if you are more visual oriented or want even more information, go here: http://www.smartphonejam.com/2012/06/how-to-return-back-samsung-galaxy-s3-to.html
Yes this is another GT-N7102 thread. Yes I did search for days trying to find a solution before posting here. Yes this phone is rooted (installed SuperUser but going through that process of setup and login into the Play Store every time is a pain). No there is no bloody Odin download mode just that infuriating Factory mode all in kanji (Vol Down + Power, holding down menu or not holding down menu still produces the factory mode).
One of the big problems I have is that when I reset to factory and setup the phone, when the phone is rebooted again, the boot loop starts all over. Hence I have only one shot to get it right while the phone is in the operating system before I have to do a wipe again to get out of the resulting loop.
I've been trying for days to get either the stock rom, a custom recovery, or a custom rom like CM installed on this device. I need some help on getting stock installed with maybe a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, or at least pointed in the direction of the answer.
Information about this particular phone:
Model #: GT-N7102
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: N7100XXALIE
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-178067 SMP PREEMPT
Build #: JRO03C.N7100ZSALIA
Custom Build Version: I968.7500A.02.02.I.A-V1.0.3B06R81
At reboot: Vol Down + Power = Factory menu in kanji (there is no Odin mode when pressing Vol up when in this mode, just scrolling through the options)
Vol Up + Power = Boot mode selection (options are recovery, fastboot, and reboot)
Is there any way to do what I am trying to accomplish or am I just screwed and trash the phone?
Thanks

1. Head to the download page, this is the UNmodified firmware provided ‘as is’ from Samsung/carrier servers.
2. After download is complete, extract the downloaded file and you should get a MD5 file.
3. Enter the download mode form your device [normally by holding the volume up button + home button + power button]
4. Connect your device to your PC.
5. Start Odin.
6. Odin should recognize your device, and you can tell so by seeing that the first slot from the upper left is taken, if not then you need to install a driver for your device. [I personally just download Kies and it automatically download the proper driver for your device]
7. Click on PDA from Odin and browse to the extracted MD5 file.
8. Press Start.
9. Do not unplug your device until the process is fully completed.
10. The phone will reboot and you should see a Pass! on Odin, which means the process was successfully accomplished.
This will turn your device condition back to it's stock condition [like it's brand new] ( no root- no custom ROM -no nothing)
Anyway if you wish to root do the same past steps but using this file.
Afterwards you can install a custom recovery with the same steps again using this file.
Don't proceed with any step of the past steps unless you fully understand every single one of them, if you have any difficulties understanding anything feel free to ask!

Hi, Just like the title says, I have the 10.5 tab, I'm currently on the us ota for 5.0.2 rooted. I was wondering what the best and safest way to downgrade was? I'm having alot of problems with 5.0.2. I mean it runs smoothly and everything it's just alot of the games i play that worked great on kitkat no longer work on lollipop they just crash when i try to open them. Also there is no wanam xposed for 5.0.2 yet which is also a bummer. any advice or a steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to try to do it without knowing what im getting into and make my nice little tablet a brick. thanks for your help.
Just flash the stock Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware

Don't fret. I am a total noob too. I got the following information from a different site, Unfortunately I cannot post the link as a noob. Once I have enough post count, I will add the link to the source (fairness to the author of the source).
How to flash Samsung Stock Rom using Odin
Home > Tutorials > Last update on February 1st, 2015
These are the instructions to flash Samsung Stock ROM (original firmware) using Odin on Windows Computer.
Requirements: Your Samsung device should have at-least 30-40 percent of phone batter to perform the flashing process.
Flash Samsung Stock Rom using Odin
Step 1: Download and install Samsung USB Driver on your computer. In case you have already installed the Samsung USB Driver on your computer then Skip this step.
Step 2: Download (Stock ROM compatible with your device) and extract it on your computer. After extracting you will be able to see these kind of files:
T800XXU1ANJ6_T800XAC1ANI1_HOME.tar.md5
Step 3: Now, Enable USB Debugging on your Samsung Galaxy Device. To enable USB Debugging: Open Settings > Developers Option > USB Debugging > Tick to enable.
(Developers Option is hidden for Android 4.2.2 or above, to show the developer option Go to Settings > About Phone > Built Number (Tap on it for 5-8 times).
Step 4: Power Off your Samsung Device.
Step 5: Now, you have to boot into Download mode. To boot into Download Mode: Press and Hold Volume Down Key, Home Key and Power Key. When phone vibrates Leave the Power Key but Keep holding the Volume Down Key and Home key. You will boot into the Download Mode.
Step 6: In the Download mode you will be able to see a Warning Yellow Triangle Sign. In this situation you have to press the Volume up key to continue.
Step 7: Download and extract Odin on your computer. Use Odin 1.85 (Successful in downgrading to KitKat from Lollipop)
Step 8: Now, Open Odin3 and connect your phone to the computer.
Step 9: Once you have connected the phone to the computer, Odin will automatically recognize the device and show “Added” message at the lower-left panel.
Step 10: Once your device is detected by Odin, click on the “PDA” (or AP) button and select the tar.md5 file that you have extracted in Step #2.
Step 11: Now, click on the “Start” button in Odin to begin the Flashing process.
Step 12: Once you see, the Green Pass Message then remove the USB cable from the device (during this process, your device will restart automatically).
Step 13: Your Samsung Device will now stuck at boot (boot loop). Now, You have to boot into Stock Recovery Mode, To Enable Stock Recovery mode: Press and Hold Volume UP key, Home Key, Power Key. When phone vibrates Leave the Power Key but Keep holding the Volume UP Key and Home key. You will boot into the Recovery Mode.
Step 14: In Recovery Mode, Wipe Data/factory reset.
Step 15: Once Cache Data is cleared, Select Restart Phone Now from the recovery menu.
Step 16: Now, your Samsung Device will restart without any issue with the Stock Rom you have flashed.
I ran into problems flashing the ROM twice and I went into a complete panic (could be Odin 3.10, or corrupted ROM). My region is XAC. Initially I tried XAR, and failed miserably. Eventually I downloaded the XAC ROM from a different source (SamMobile), also using Odin 1.85 instead of 3.10. Everything went smoothly (with the above stated boot loop). Should you get a Fail message in Odin, use the instructions from droidviews (do a web search on droidviews and "firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-solution". Again, I will post the link once my post count is slightly higher.)
Step 3 is not required at all. Odin 3.10 should work fine.
As for factory reset, that shouldn't be required, that should be a last resort. Just wipe cache partition. I would simply install twrp for this.
It should then boot.
hi i wanted to flash magisk using twrp so i had to install twrp first using odin i followed all instructions in there androidweblog.com/samsung-galaxy-a50-sm-a505f-root-install-twrp-recovery
and flashed that twrp zip file

If I make "Wipe cache partition", shall I lose the data?

No, you will not lose any data.
Wiping the cache is necessary for the phone to run smoother after an update.
Nothing will be deleted!
It should be noted that, as of now, the OneUI 3 update is only available for the Exynos model phones in the S10 line, model SM-G97xF, and even there, some carriers don't have it yet. Snapdragon (U/U1) hasn't gotten any kind of stable OneUI 3 (nor anything outside of the F models it seems). This is going by the list of firmwares on Sammobile, which seems accurate compared to what I've seen in Frija.
SOLVED: tried flashing with odin again and that did the trick
i followed these steps but odin failed. now when i try to start my device i get a blueish screen with a the notification: an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
i tried the emergency recovery fuction in switch but my computer cannot find the device. i cannot put it back in recovery or anything. what can i do to solve this?
