Hi
I have a problem for a few days. The story is that I installed Custom ROM and it stop asking for unlock code when I insert a new carrier sim card. Somebody told me to restore to Stock Firmware. I used "KDS Firmware Update" to push Stock Firmware from my PC but when the phone restart to install Stock Firmware, Custom Recovery Mode appear instead of Stock Recovery Mode. As the result, it failed to install.
I'm looking for a way to restore Stock Recovery Mode but I found nothing. Now, I'm asking for someone to tell me how to do it or give me the Stock Recovery Image zip for my LG Optimus G E973.
Thanks in advanced.

Restore backup with FreeGee for stock recovvery
But I didn't do backup stock recovery. I don't have stock recovery image.
So, I'm not a complete noob to flashing roms/rooting devices. I flashed cm 11 to my s3, and decided I wanted to go back to stock via Odin. For some reason when I tried to turn on my device it was still showing the cm 11 splash screen and wouldn't proceed any further. It isn't technically bricked. I guess this would be classified as a boot loop to the nth degree. I tired to boot in recovery mode and wipe the cache partition and all user data to the same cm 11 robot taunting me. When I tried the process (flashing stock vi Odin) again to possibly fix whatever might have been a miss, I got the error message on the download screen "secure check fail: sb12." On the download mode screen it also says I am running the official system rom. I don't know what steps I need to take from here to get my phone to actually boot via the stock rom. Has anybody else had this issue or similar? Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone a i747? If you are you running a stock 4.3 bootloader on your i747, you can't use Odin to flash back to stock unless the ROM was specifically designed to be flashed in Odin.
What is shown on the screen in download mode?

I was under the impression the rom I was attempting to flash was indeed intended for Odin. It is the SGH-I747.
The download screen states,
Product Name: SGH-I747
Custom Binary: Custom
System Status: Official
Qualcom Secure Boot: Enable
Warranty Bit: 1
Bootloader AP SWERV: 2
Here is an added bit of fun, in the midst of the process I accidentally checked "Nand erase all," in Odin at one point.
Based on the information provided, your phone is running a stock ATT 4.3 bootloader. The CM11 splash screen is still showing up because the flash did not actually happen. You're lucky your phone was not bricked in the process of using Odin. I recommend not using Odin to flash a ROM that tries to alter the bootloader.
I recommend flashing a custom recovery such as Philz Touch in Odin and flashing a different KK ROM such as Valudis.

My next question would be how can I move the zip files I download to the internal storage of my phone to flash them through Philz Touch?
Have you tried using kies?

I did. It said the the device couldn't be updated, or something to that effect.
Kies will not work without a stock recovery or a rooted phone from my experience.
I would be surprised if kies can restore your phone as ATT never released a full 4.3 stock ROM. ATT only made 4.3 available via an OTA update.

I don't know about AT&T, but I'm on Telus in Canada and I used kies to revert back to stock 4.3 with CWM recovery and phone rooted, and it worked no problem.

So, I know there is a "thanks," button but I feel like that would be a little too informal for how much I appreciate your help! I downloaded ADB to move the rom (I went with AOKP because it was the first one that worked) to my phone, flashed it using TWRP and...BAM! We are back in business. Thanks for the direction, I thought I had a nice, new, shiny brick on my hands for about two days.

Canadian carriers use the i747m while att users get the i747.
The Canadian carriers did release a full 4.3 ROM unlike att who did not.
Hello,
I messed up my Note 8 and recently was able to reinstall 4.1.2 stock, I tried connecting to Kies and it doesn't work. I wanted to update to the newest software then root. Since that wasn't working I rooted via Odin then attempted to flash twrp so I could flash a custom rom. Root works but the custom recovery doesn't stick... I tried unticking reboot in odin and the system still reboots into standard recovery.
I tried using the toolkit and its stuck on waiting on debug even though debug is clicked.
Can anyone help me install a custom recovery via odin or another way?
If you have the at&t sgh-i467 version - there is not a custom recovery for it because it has a locked bootlader.
Additionally, the newest 4.4.2 ota update has not been rooted as of yet - so if you must have root, don't install the ota.
The original mf1 rom is rootable, but again there is no customers recovery due to the locked bootloader.
This only applies to the at&t in version...
use Odin
Need help?
Hey friends I have a problem.
I was running on 4.1.2 on my note 2.
I am from India.
Then I tried to flash lollipop ROM after I rooted it and installed custom recovery. I installed new ROM.
It was great but I lost my efs partition and so does imei.
So to recover imei I flashed stock ROM via Odin but during that time I made mistake I flashed France firmware of 4.4.2 so in Odin it failed.
Now phone doesn't booting up just Samsung screen and immediately off then on again.
I can go to downloading mode but not in recovery mode.
Please help me and if I can get it back via Odin then please send me link of Indian firmware
Thanks anyway..

today i rooted, flashed the most recent version of twrp on a stock n7100.
I did all this via Skipsoft unified android toolkit and intended to flash DItto note 4 on the n7100.
Ive done this before since i own another Note2 with Cyanogenmod X currently installed, coming from DN3.
on that phone i have current version of twrp and bootloader OD4.
I flashed the new OD4 bootloader on this newly rooted phone but i have been stuck at the samsung screen since then.
ODIN completed the flash successfully with no errors so i do not understand why i am experiencing this problem.
I have a TWRP backup though.
Can anyone help me sort this out.
THe device still boots into download mode but not into recovery.
Thanks
