So I went on a bloatware purge awhile ago on my s6. Awhile later I found out that I accidentally deleted the app that updates the PRL and does the "UUIC Unlock"... So that means I can't unlock my phone once my contract is up... I was planning on just reflashing the stock image with Odin once my contract was up since I've had mixed results with Odin deleting my data... But now the problem is that my charging port is fried and I can't use Odin to flash anything... Any ideas? Anyone have a 6.0.1 stock system TWRP backup? Any help would be great.

So I have flashed some customer roms and then used odin to go back to stock after failing to restore a back-up using TWRP. After using Odin and the latest factory image from XDA. I am still showing signs of old flashes. I would like restore the phone completely back to factory. I am not sure if I need to reformat something using twrp. Can anyone help with some advice?

If you need to send it back, you need to:
wipe data/factory reset
reset flash counter (requires root, triangle away)
odin stock rom
The root toolkit in original development forums can babysit you through the whole process

Elaborate on what u mean by signs of old flashes
Odin should put back stock, u will keep storage and sd untouched
If you flashed a 4.2.2 aokp cm10 rom I think it screws up nandroid restore folder, it redirects restores to data folder...
I lost my backup too
Chain fire app has root away script use that to remove any sings of flashing

I infact had flashed AOKP. I was seeing signs of it left behind even after using odin to go back to stock. This is not my first Sammy device and havne't run into this issue before. I will try wiping things down multiple times. I think the thing that maybe bothers me the most was after going back to a factory image the last time Samsung Kies would not even check for updates saying " your devices current firmware is not supported to update from kies"
This is new as I have had my Note 2 rooted w/ custom recovery since it came out and had been able to update using kies in the past, just wasn't able to use the OTA updates from the device. (which I knew from the past)
Anyways I hope the clearing multiple times data/system/cache clears it up after another Odin flashing
I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a rooted, unlocked E-980 with ATT. I am NOT running a custom ROM. I woke up this morning, looked at my phone and noticed in the notification window something about an available update. Being half asleep and not expecting any issues I did not pay attention to the pop up box and simply clicked update. My phone immediately rebooted and went into recovery which I now cannot get out of. I even tried restoring to a backup from a couple months ago and the phone will not boot up. Has anyone ran into similar issues today and/or know how to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I actually had the same issue... I tried restoring from backups & it will boot up then go back to recovery... The way i got out of it was factory restore using lg flash tool method & re rooting...

I hear the new update is unrootable
No it's not currently rootable but if you root before the update then you keep root but you will sift brick if you have custom recovery.... I restored to stock...rooted...applied the update then did freegee to install cwm... I'm now rooted with custom recovery and have the update...

Same thing happened to me. I kept trying to dodge the update, and kept checking the forums to see if anyone had posted about it. Well I guess I accidentally clicked update, or it decided to do it for me. Now all I can get into is freegee cwm recovery.
Thanks for the advise! I'll try the back to stock option. I do have one additional question - Is there a way to get a backup file off the phone if it only boots into recovery? Prior to wiping my phone I did a backup in CWM and I can see the backups in CWM. Is there a way to get that backup file off the phone?
Did you do the backup & save it to your memory card or the phone memory?
My Sprint GS3 is flashed to Page Plus.All is working great. I'm currently on MK3 Knox firmware. I am wanting to try the ND8 upgrade.
If I odin up to the ND8 I realize I will lose my flash. I have my EFS backed up with two different methods.
If I odin up to ND8 can I restore my flash with the EFS backup or will I need to re-flash anyway?
Thanks for all your help. XDA is the BEST!!!
Edit: Solved, but not with EFS backup
So I went ahead and took the plunge.Setup Odin and grabbed the ND8 stock tar.My internal storage was also messed up so I also
grabbed the 32gb PIT file for my phone.Entered download mode and started Odin and 12 minutes later I had KitKat and also my
full 32gb internal storage.Everything I read said I would lose my flash.Mine is the SPH-L710 Sprint GS3 flashed to Page Plus.
MUCH to my surprise when my phone rebooted my 3G was up and running! In settings/about device/status shows my MIN
and my number, and my PRL all as it was before! I was putting this off for so long for fear of having to redo everything, you
know when you have everything working right you hate to screw with it. I can't say this would work for others but I am a
very happy camper!
I Odined up to ND8 and my flash didn't change!
Hi. It's been a while since I've done any flashing etc so not exactly sure about this. Is there a way to flash stock recovery without data loss?
I restored my s3 to stock before giving it to my niece but didn't realize twrp was still on there. I guess the phone is trying to get an ota update and ends up in twrp when restarting.

I think it has what you need.
And for those who prefer, a link to a stock recovery that is flashable from a custom recovery can be found in this thread by enewman17.
I was on stock rooted NK2. My home button broke and I sent the phone to Samsung. Before I did I did a Nandroid backup in TWRP on to my SD card and pulled it before I sent it in. When the phone returned it booted fine I went into TWRP to restore. After restoring it bootlooped. I tried wiping and restoring several more times with same result. I then tried to flash in ODIN the same stock NK2 tar I started with originally and it failed several times. I went back to TWRP and wiped everthing again to start over. The internal storage is now unaccessable. I can see the phone through the file manager when I am in TWRP but cannot add a file. Now when I try to restore the original backup I get this message "No partitions selected for restore". I am lost and cannot find a relevant thread to help. Has anyone seen this? Thanks for the help
Also when the phone returned from Samsung I did not check to see what firmware it was on. I am thinking they updated that while it was there.
I bet you that they did update to OE1 or OF5, at which point you cannot go back to anything earlier like NK2. I think your only choice is to Odin OF5 and you'll have to start all over with your apps/data. Unless you did a TitaniumBackup.
I did a titanium backup but nothing will ODIN I have not tried OE5. Is that what you suggest? Do you have a link to the stock TAR it can't hurt to try at this point.
