Hello, i have a brand new GT-I9195 and before to root it or flash CM i have document myself but not enough i presume ...
I've rooted it following instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43622999 -> thanks arco68 for this BTW
Then i performed a NAND backup with CWM and finally flashed CM, downloaded from CyanogenMod website !
After that i decided to restore my CMW NAND backup, wiping cache, dalvik cache, data & data/media before doing so -> i restored only boot and system partitions -> OK but that's not want i want ...
I would like to get rid of CMW by flashing back Samsung stock ROM for the moment, here are the details about my firmware :
AP : I9195XXUAMF7
CP : I9195XXUAMF7
CSC : I9195BOGAMF5
I thought that i would be able to download it via Kies but my restored NAND backup still features root access and it seems that it broke any maintenance procedure via Kies ... so i went to SAMMOBILE website with the idea to download a suitable firmware for my device and then flash it back via odin or heimdall ... but it is not available this website
Now here are my questions :
-> Can i get Kies support again by unrooting my device ? If yes ... how to use Kies to download the FW and to flash it ? and how to unroot my device ?
-> If not where can i find a suitable firmware and how to flash it back ... odin ? heimdall ? something else ... ? (i've posted a message on SAMMOBILE website in case they can provide this FW to the community)
Thank you for your answers,
Kind regards

You have to flash the STOCK Rom with ODIN.

OK, i've flashed back the official Samsung ROM through Kies (and backed it up in case someone else needs it); since a suitable ROM was not available for download over the Internet, i played with Kies ... and won ! Below are the steps i performed to do this ... with some luck ...
-> step 1 : reset to factory from the android menu ... at this point, i've just restored ny NAND backup and the phone warns me all the time about the root status which is still enabled ... (Kies refuse to update the firmware of my device and that's the only way i have right now ...)
-> step 2 : back to android , still with root status warnings ... the recovery is still CMW !
-> step 3 : Kies updated => i connect my cellphone to my PC and from the Kies welcome window, i see that Kies lets me update the firmware if i want to ... let's do so (the reset to factory seems to be usefull here ... i have a little doubt about this because just before i tried again to flash my cellphone through Kies, Kies updated itself ! I'm just writing down the steps i followed)
-> step 4 : firmware updated through Kies and backed up, just in case ...
-> step 5 : reset to factory from the android menu again in order to check if CWM is still there => no more CWM ! Now my device is running stock Samsung ROM ... no more root privileges or CWM !
PS : The phone does not accept OTA updates anymore ...

I'm gonna start messing around with my i9195 (DBT) and was thinking about using this if I wanna come back to stock:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195
Is this useless or it can be used p.e. if I need to send it to warranty?

I'm not an expert but from what i've read over the Internet, if you flash something through odin (recovery, custom ROM and so on ...), when you'll be back to stock ROM by flashing an official ROM through any available way (Kies, odin, heimdall, ...) you'll note that in every case, the OTA firmware update feature is not available anymore (if you check for updates, you'll have the following message : "Your phone has been modified, updates are not available anymore")
In case you have to RMA your phone, there is no doubt that the manufacturer will know you flashed your device and i don't really know the exact warranty policy of Samsung company about this ...
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong ...
With that said, is it really important to have the OTA feature ? From my point of view if it is possible to preserve or restore this feature after playing with flashing the device ... it's a good point but if someone could clarify this please, it would be great !
From what i've read over here and there ... :
-> Kies : official but may brick your phone during FW update process and if so, device is hard to revive ... (i used it because my phone's ROM was not available for direct download in order to flash it trough odin ...)
-> odin : easy and reliable
Regards
PS : thank you for the weblink tintol, i noticed that my FW is now available for direct download ... good to know :thumbup:

Guess you're right, everybody seems to say that it's impossible to go back to full stock.
I've been away from Samsung since gingerbread on S2, but back then we could easily revert to stock and get OTA updates.
I don't mind losing OTA, it's just for RMA purposes. I think I'll wait a few days before messing with it, just to see if there's nothing faulty.
From my experience, HTC knew I messed with my One X and they repaired the screen within the warranty. Not sure if samsung is that kind.

Hello,
I am currently trying the update to 6.0 via OTA but keep hitting the Status 7 error.
I tried several solutions from the forum without success.
I have an original Backup of the firmware with untouched kernel. I restored to original with stock recovery and re-locked the bootloader.
The phone shows Status 7 error after trying to update...
Any one else countered this issue ?

This usually means that the system partition was modified.
See here:
http://www.droidviews.com/fix-status-7-error-while-installing-ota-update-or-roms/
U will need an untouched system image and stock recovery for your software version.
U can find those in @Flippy498 google sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15K6xhb6wtosp9j8yu4xHBZ6n9v5OaFSW6ZVWxC4u_qc/pubhtml
I tried all STOCK back-up's that i could ever find here in this forum and the issue is still the same, cannot perform an OTA or install an ota via fastboot flash zip Firmware_xx.zip
If i attach the OTA to the SD card and update via download mode it gives some sort of error with -2, 22
PS: The errors i get in the adb are also Remote 22 and Remote 9
Cannot find zip header.. Either the zip is corrupt OR you can't flash zips because you're at official. You'll need the ruu..

Hi,
I was trying to flash marshmallow ROM, but it softbricked my phone. now I can't go beyond bootloader and cwm recovery. Also, it shows a message that the phone is not rooted. What shall I do? I don't have a backup phone and it is urgent. Can somebody help?
I don't have twrp installed to restore a backup.
Is it possible that if somebody gives me a twrp img of stock marshmallow or lollipop , i can flash via fastboot?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am getting signature fail error. I tried flashing official RUU also but getting same error (12 signature verify fail). Also, my bootloader is relocked now

My phone has unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and is rooted with magisk. Got the OTA for (global) 9.5.4.0 last night - it downloads/de-crypts ok, reboots into TWRP, and then fails to flash. I also tried to flash manually via TWRP by locating the downloaded file, still fails. During the night, it rebooted itself (to try again I suppose), and my alarm didn't go off.
So here I am, late in work, wasting more "work time" to ask you for a possible solution :angel:
Go back to original miui recovery then you can update your miui successfully. After update,reflash twrp and magisk.

Sounds easy, but I don't know how to do that. Could you point me in the right direction?
you can't flash an OTA with TWRP
Flash recovery img with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then boot your phone
settings->about phone->system update->update
it will get in origin miui recovery and update system automatically
after update finished,reflash twrp and magisk
Thank you very much @jimandy60
With all the respect though, I would prefer downloading the file from a popular location. Is there any way to find this hosted somewhere else, maybe by Xiaomi?

Hello!
I got the same problem but instead to come here and ask for help I tried to solve myself. I downloaded the lastest TWRP version and the device was not going into recovering mode. Then I installed again the previous one without results. I downloaded the TWRP app from Play Store and trying to solve I made wipe data, cache and I am not sure but I think also choose wipe system. Now my phone is stuck on the fastboot screen. Does not start. Using ADB I installed back the stck recovery but the problem remains. Somebody can help me please?
reflash the full rom?
download&unzip full rom package,get in fastboot mode and run flash_all.bat

Hi, community
I tried to root my SM G-9600 but it all went wrong. First i went on twrp, it worked, but wiped my entire data. Then i tried make a factory reset o installation with odin and the latest firmware for my device, but it failed and showed this message labeled in red color: "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 3 error". then i found in this and other forums that it was because i used not the latest firmware. I downloaded the latest one, tried once to flash it via ODIN, and it failed again. Then when it restarted this message was shown : " An error has occurred while updating the devide software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. I donwloaded the smart switch, installed it, plugged my devide, but it shown that my device was "Unsupported". IDK what to do by now, so i need help from anyone on this forum. PLS
Greeting from Peru.
i had the same problem
(before processing to the next step try to redownload the firmware, i think i was using an old firmware and this is why i got this error)
i am assuming that you can not boot on twrp recovery
that's not a problem , you need to install twrp via odin and boot directly to it....
format the data and connect to your laptop (if it does recognize the phone but there is no storage dont worry, just reboot again to recovery (there is an option on reboot tab))
since you already tripped the knox just flash a custom rom, boot and set it up, and then try to flash stock image via odin as normal.
and sorry for my bad english.
Cant install a custom rom
Thanks. I made posible the TWRP installation, root, but i cannot install any custom rom i have. Can you suggest any one that will be suitable for my device (SM G-9600) ?, thats Samsung Galaxy S9 g9600 (Snapdragon SoC)

do you want to install a custom rom or revert back to stock?
For custom ROM I suggest Soldiers ROM here's the link to the thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...g96xf-fd-n-stock-rom-soldier9312-1-0-t3771346 . You can more information about it on the thread. Been using the moment I rooted my phone.
