Hi!
I need help to revert my phone back to stock. Now i have Xtension custom rom and im not sure how to flash stock rom. Tried to ADB sideload stock .zip, but it says something to signature or something. Is there any "easy" way to flash that? Like samsung have Odin program.
I used to use TWRP, but is it old way? not working that a/b slot thing?
use MSM tool
Just found the topic! Using it right know. Maybe next time i have to look before asking

I have been having issues with my phone not charging and being recognized in my PC. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it without success. At this point I need to send it back to Verizon, but I am currently running AOKP. So I need to revert it back to stock before I can send it.
Since the phone is not being recognized, ADB is not an option. I have tried using Mobile Odin Pro, but with v3.45 and 3.50, I get this error when I try to flash the factory image from Google: "An error occurred extracting the update script"
Any ideas how I can revert back to stock?
There ARE other ways to do it. Read the stickies.
For odin, you need compatible images with ODIN, which is not supported by Google/Samsung (just be reminded of that); the ones we get from Google are to be flashed with fastboot.
Quick tip: i believe you need to relock bootloader with the app before going back to stock completely (since you'll loose root).

I looked at all the stickies, and I can't find anything. Am i just missing it?
this may be a shot in the dark but I had a problem with my usb port not working on my gsm gnex, and thought i needed to send it in to sammy. Then i found a thread where a guy talked about pushing the tip of a razer blade(carefully) in between the tab in the middle of the usb port and the rear of phone. I tried it and since have had no charging problems. As a matter of fact I had forgotten about it until reading this thread.
Or mabye someone with a verizon gnex can upload a stock nandroid for you. As for bootloader unlocked..

This could be. Worth a shot, IMO.

Really, all you need is flashable radio image, flashable bootloader image, stock zip file from Google, and custom recovery (such as Clockworkmod or twrp)

Restore factory (unroot, stock recovery) without USB connection
I've read through all the threads that I can find on this an other forums regarding this challenge. Basically I have an locked bootloader rooted Galaxy Nexux Toro that has a slightly tweeked rooted JRO03O system and the Jelly Bean bootloader.
I want to restore stock recovery and stock system but the USB port is totally fried. (It actually smoked last time I plugged it in).
I have Odin Mobile Pro downloaded and a tarball for 4.0.4 (VzW-PDA-ODIN-I515EL03_ICL53F_signed.tar) ready to inject using ODIN. However I'm afraid to go ahead with this because I've read that ICS can't handle the Jelly Bean bootloader that is on my phone. As far as I see it I have 4 options:
1. Go ahead and flash the ICS tarball and hope that it works with the JB bootloader but potentially be screwed if it messes up the recovery partition with no way to reflash it as I have no USB.
2. Use the tarball that was in the google release mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tgz that the toolkit extracted when it unpacked the tgz (it's called mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tar and the toolkit pulled it from the tgz along with the zip and all the other bits and pieces)
4. Flash the tarball that I created using the GNex toolkit (Wug's) that I made using the img files for system, recovery, kernel and userdata that I pulled out of mysid-jro03o-factory-f17426e6.tgz after allowing the toolkit to unpack the TGZ
4. Try and reflash the ICS bootloader and hope the phone reboots ok into my current ROM and allows me to flash the ICF53F tarball using ODIN.
Any advice on which of these options (or another not listed) stands the best chance of success from those more knowledgeable would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

True, only earlier versions support older bootloaders, not the other way round. Some of it could work, maybe doesnt boot at all (it may be a bit extreme for the device not to, but maybe there's the chance.)

Not sure how to flash ICS bootloader on the phone... I assume you're relying on Odin Mobile for this task? Anyways, if you manage to do it, then go ahead and use odin again to restore to factory.

Yes, just return the device. Its got a freaking bad usb port. Even if they can see you modded the rom/updated system etc, and they give you trouble, just ask them to restore the device to its factory state, without USB!! "It's a developers phone people!!!" Personally, i think they will only look at unlocked/locked boot screen.

Hi everyone,
I've been using PA for a while but it's become really buggy for me for some reason. Everything is incredibly slow and I have overheating issues with a few apps (like Hangouts).
I want to flash it back to Jelly Bean to see if it will help at all, can anyone tip into the right direction on how to do this from a custom ROM please?
Thanks for the help!
hm... I believe you can download the image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
and then flash the .tar file like you would with any custom rom. well, if it doesn't work it won't boot but you can always flash another custom rom so it may be worth a try

no no
you don't flash that tar file like a custom ROM.
it has all the necessary instructions on that page though I believe.
you use the files from in that tar, and flash them via fastboot.
to OP, there are sticky threads at top of one of these forums for how to return to stock.
all step by steps are easily found there as well as any helpful toolkits you might want to try which will basically do it all for you.
It keeps loading into fastboot after I tried to flash a "bumped" lollipop zip. I can get into download mode. I barely know these terms and am not savvy with all this flashing business at all. If someone could guide me like a child, I would very much appreciate it.
Okay, so I finally got into my custom recovery. I don't know what to do to fix this though. Do I find another .zip to install?
How did you get into recovery?
Not to be "that guy" but we have several guides how to root and flash before doing it, so you don't ruin your phone.
We need to know what version you were on, and Tue ROM you tried to flash. Its possible you skipped steps and soft bricked
Its going into fastboot mode because the kernel you flashed with that rom is not for our phone. It could be as easy as flashing the d851 boot.img to fix. But since you can get into recovery why not flash a d851 rom and be done with it? You're not using the bump twrp are you? We don't need bump.
Hello Everyone!
I'm stuck!!! If anyone can help, it is so appreciated!
I attempted to root my subject named device using ODIN following these directions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/development/root-cf-auto-root-t2905495
Everything seems to go as planned until restart.. the tablet continuously reboots, over and over, but fails to load.
I have no clue what to do from here, so this is my only option... ask those who have much more knowledge than me!
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your assistance.
That's called a bootloop. Something went wrong with flashing. What is a subject named device? That autoroot method only works for smp600 that is already running stock 5.1 or 4.4.2 . Boot into downloadmode using the appropriate buttons, then Download stock firmarwe from sammobile.Com and flash via Odin to get back a working device.
Which build are you on? If it is 5.1.1, that method will result in a bootloop if you try to root.
Use this instead

The tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Model SM-P600.
Not sure about the build.... but I will most definitely checkout the link you provided - thanks!
Question, can I flash a different rom rather than stock?
Also, I was just able to flash TWRP via ODIN and was able to get TWRP to load on the device. I'm hoping to flash a custom rom from the external SD via TWRP. I don't care which one at this point.. just need to get the tablet functional again and get a backup saved lol.

Here is "how to" instruction by me - post #225 for upgrade to the latest 5.1.1 and root your device. Once done and you want custom rom, just boot into twrp and flash any custom rom that you like. Let me know if you have issue.

Than i still have twrp installed.. (Tried this a long time ago..) and than i cant install the ota.. Is there a zip with the original recovery..? Retue
My recommendation usually is not to flash twrp at all. Just use fastboot boot when needed. Disadvantage is that you don't have it handy if you're not at your computer, and you need the cable any time you want to start twrp.
Original recovery is contained in the stock ROM archive. Just flash only recovery. You can take the command from any guide how to flash stock ROM. But you need the one that is delivered with your software version. That's why I recommend not to flash twrp, if you want to do OTA it can be a hassle to find the right original recovery.
When you flash the original ROM it will have the stock recovery which will bring back your ota ability. Stock recovery is flashed by, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
