[Q] Quick question about Odin'ing guide

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28530394
under section 5 of that guide there is a section titled "*Flashing a Stock Radio with Odin or a Custom Recovery"
I'm a noob at this so I was just wondering if that part is necessary to Odin back to stock in order to be able to return my phone to verizon. I'm rooted and have a custom JB Rom downloaded so I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock in order to update JB OTA and then return my phone to Verizon but I don't know what "*Flashing a Stock Radio with Odin or a Custom Recovery" means so I didn't know if this is part of the process. thanks!

Bump. Also, another Q, in the link within that section (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-modems-vrlk3-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/) if that section IS something I need to do, which of those files should I download? Thanks again

All you have to do is flash this using Odin and you'll be back to stock Official VRBLK3 4.1.1. That file is on the xda thread you linked. It will wipe all of your data and lock your bootloader....it also flashes the radio. If you've used odin before this is probably a 10 minute process....very easy.

Lol. Sorry but I didn't understand your reply. I already did step one and downloaded Odin and the Samsung Drivers deals, then I downloaded that gigantic 1.2 GB 4.1.1 file, now all I have to do is steps 3 4 and 5 and I'm golden? Do I have to or not have to do that "*Flashing a Stock Radio with Odin or a Custom Recovery" part? Also, where does the Samsung Drivers file come in? He never says anything again about them. Sorry man, I know I'm terrible at this. lol. Thanks though

bump please help someone they close in an hour and a half. lol.

No problem. I know this stuff is confusing until you've actually done it. Samsung drivers are only so that Odin recognizes your phone. I'll post the steps as I remember them. Open Odin, click the pda function (and check the box) and select the giant file you downloaded, put your phone in download mode (power off...then volume down, power and home at the same time..this puts you in download mode). Connect your phone to the pc....wait till it says connected at com port ....whatever. Click start....wait until it finishes...10 minutes. Your data will be totally gone and you will be stock JB. You want the Odin file you flash to be Official VRBLK3 4.1.1. Just as a reminder, THIS WIPES YOUR DATA SO BACK UP ANYTHING IMPORTANT.

ok thanks but quick q. it's still not saying connected and it's been a few minutes. It just says "Leave CS...." would it be safe to unplug my phone and shut down odin and try again or what do you think I should do? Thanks
EDIT: It finally just said something right when I posted this. It says added. Is this the same as connected?
EDIT 2: My phone says Odin mode in red. Do you think it's safe to hit start yet? What should I do? thanks

bump someone help me please! i dont want my phone to just sit in download mode with odin running and mess anything up can I hit start or should I unplug it and restart it or what?

****!!!! My phone is stuck in a boot loop now..... it has that 4gLTE screen with the colorful circle and it won't stop... what do I do?

[Q] Help in returning to stock rom

So i'm looking for a little help.
A little while back I used this thread : [GUIDE] TF300T Unlock/Root/Flash for Factory JB Devices (newbie friendly)
To help me install this custom rom : [ROM][TF300]|Mar 28| Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Official JB 4.2.1 Stock or Themed ¯´·.¸¸. -
onto my girlfriends TF300T tablet
and I have this : [RECOVERY][TF300T/TG] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Touch Recovery! [2013-4-9] on there as well
but I can't remember if this was part of the unlock/root/flash process or not, so i'm not sure if it used it during the process or if I added it shortly afterword
now its been while since I have done it but then the tablet started to restart randomly while she was using it.
so I figured no biggie maybe an app got messed up or something, and so I told her to back up her pics, exc she wanted off the unit
and I could look at reinstalling the apps or just taking the unit back to factory rom
about a week later it started to reboot more often randomly
and now it is to the point where it will not make it into the rom
now I can make it into the boot selection where I can choose RCK (for the TWRP), USB, or the other 2 options
and I know I can make it into the TWRP tool as well and it does not repeatedly boot from there, so i'm sure its a rom issue and not a hardware issue, but I could still be wrong
the unit is currently charging so I have not had a chance to try for the usb connection option or anything else yet
hopefully the usb option will work so I can try to recover the pics, exc before taking the unit back to factory
now in the process I know I have unlocked the unit, I believe I have done the min root but have not fully rooted the unit if that makes sense
so i'm just wondering if I will half to fully root (and how do I do that if I do since I can't make it into a rom)
how do I clear the rom that has gone bad
how do I install a factory rom (how do I tell which is the lastest rom, and which one is needed for my unit)
and then I should be good from there
if you need any more info please let me know and maybe some instructions on how to get to that info
in the process of putting the energy rom onto it, I spent a week of reading, researching, and figuring out which way would probably be the safest for me to do, plus the easiest for me to understand
now that it has been so long I have been reading and researching again, I just need that nudge that gets me in the right direction
i'm sure i'm not the only one that has had this issue with a rom, and i'm also sure there is a guide out there already that goes over how to put it back to a factory rom
just for some reason i'm either over looking it or not finding it

Its very simple to return to stock. But first, do you have the tablets drivers installed on your pc?
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------
And do you have fastboot?

if you are talking about the android sdk tools
yes that is installed on my computer from the first time I did the tablet
and I went ahead and did the updates for it as well
and tried plugging the unit in with the fastboot and confirm it shows up in device manager

Lol okay. Theres actually a more simple way.
1. Download the latest asus firmware.
2. Extract the zip file
3. Flash it like a normal rom.
If you cant use this method then you'll have to use fastboot. Here's a link but if you need any help, just ask : http://www.androidauthority.com/transformer-pad-tf300t-restore-stock-firmware-108016/

how do I check the sku according to that guide if i'm not able to load into the android os
that only shows if you can load into the os
would the box have that?

or now looking at the options that I should assume its is a US sku lol

can't find any detailed instructions on using twrp on flashing a rom, especially the stock one
i'm sure there is a set of detailed instructions cause I swore I saw one once
but i'm not able to find it again
cause I thought besides using the install part there were things I had to clear as well for it to work
oh and yeah the download link for fastboot is no long working in the one guide you gave me to follow so not sure if I already have what it is talking about

Its simple lol. When you download the firmware from asus, its usually in a .zip form. In it, there is another zip file. Copy that zip file onto your tablet and flash it with twrp.

Yes. You have to do a factory reset first.

is this tablet now dead since the step of doing the reset was not complete? cause now I can not access twrp and it just sits there with the asus logo and the swirling dots
when I try to access the usb option all I have is rck, android and wipe, rck just gives a failure shortly after trying

If you want to use twrp, download the us stock firm ware. when you open it, you'll see a file that looks like this: "US_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3". copy that file onto your tablet and flash it like a normal rom. haha
For fastboot, if you have the android sdk, then you already have fastboot so you dont have to download fastboot again.

Just BEFORE YOU TRY ANYTHING, make sure that you do in fact own a Galaxy S 4G.
To make sure, take out your phone's battery after powering down and make sure that you have one of these two phone models (either one is fine):
SGH-T959V
SGH-T959W
---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------
You messaged me about the IMEI, please keep the relevant information here.
There was one forum user who claimed he was able to edit IMEI numbers for this phone but that was a long while ago.
I just hope you made a backup of your nv_data file before you tried to edit it as that's the only way to make sure you can restore it.

What rom U Flash?
Did you try to wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, and flash rom and boot successfully?
Did you try to one click back to stock and install kernel and rom?

Thank you

Phone bricked ive tried everything...

Okay so to start my name is lars. ive got a sprint galaxy s5. rooted on NE5 and then moved on to CM12.1 for awhile. now im trying to flash back to stock with little to no success. i tried flashing the stock OA6 (latest firmware) and i get <ID:0/006> FAIL! (Auth) and it says [aboot] Fused2 > Binary 1. no success. and i know that error usually means im trying to restore a firmware that's older than the current installed but its newer. i then tried to restore NE5. no luck. i can still get into recovery. but i cant flash touchwiz roms. any advice would be great. this isn't my phone its a coworkers and i feel terrible about the situation.
thanks -Lars

also i can boot cm 12.1 if i reflash it. it will not boot into touchwiz based roms at all. (recovery is still functioning)

This may be a dumb question, but you are going into download mode for Odin, correct? I ask only because you mentioned recovery a few times but not download mode.

It sounds like you may need to repartition the phone as well. I may be wrong though

yeah and that's what i'm using. the full OA6 tar and it rejects it because the phone thinks im trying to downgrade the firmware which makes no sense unless the boot-image is somehow corrupted but i thought it was all hard-coded into the boot-loader it self so im not sure. but thanks for the response non the less..

Maybe you have a bad download. It might be worth downloading it again.

yeah that's what i downloaded, that's the file-name that extracts from the executable. i just gave up. flashed cm12.1 back on his phone. the only issue is his GPS is not working even after flushing GPS cache and re-downloading and waiting 24 hours still no luck. thinking about sending it in for warranty replacement and see if they make me pay the deductible.

Have you tried to factory reset, erase all data, caches, and format the system, then boot into download mode reflash your proper firmware!?

That was the 3rd thing i tried no luck I've tried evening i can think of. It's got to be a hard ware issue

I'm having the same exact issue. I know my flashing abilities I've flashed dozens of different models. My problem was this phone was on lollipop 5.0, I wanted to root it then use custom roms. As soon as I flashed, and used a proper bootloader/rom etc. Im stuck at the samsung logo screen. I have recovery capability I can flash roms there, but not through odin at all. 0 success. I've download roms from sammobile, xda, other sources all same issues.

If you are still stuck, can check this thread, may help you out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/help/fused-2-binary-1-error-helps-t3127016

try to flash the ne5 tar in odin then see if it will boot then flash the latist firmware from sam mobile sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/SPR/ download both tar files from here.

surprised that noone else has mentioned this, ive had very similar errors and then tried different usb cables. I know its a small percentage shot, but ive fixed same/similar issues with my good old trusty blackberry cable from 2006

HEYYYY , soo i think we have a solution here for bricked OD3 devices
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61388477&postcount=99
Someone with a G900P, and on the new OD3 bootloader, can dump the debrick.img as follows with Terminal Emulator after granting root access and send to you:
busybox if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/debrick.img bs=4096 count=50000
Then:
Flash this Debrick file to your 16GB Micro SD card with Win32DiskImager by
*Insert your Micro SD card into your computer (backup any information you may have on it we are going to ERASE, FORMAT it to ex FAT
*Open win32DiskImager
*Navigate to the location where you downloaded the correct Debrick file
*Select your Debrick file by double clicking on it
*In the upper right corner of Win32DiskImager you should make sure that the drive letter assigned to your sd card is selected.
***Which ever drive that is listed will be erased, formatted
*Click write in the bottom right hand side
put the Debrick SD card in the Phone, Pull and Replace the Battery
Plug phone in usb and boot into download mode
yout phone should boot into download mode then flash stock firmware via odin

Then wipe every thing using Twrp
Then flash that rom using twrp

I'm beginning to think this is hardware related, I've already flashed four different firewares including the one you told me to use and the phone boots up rite back to the same error!!! I'm kinda sceptical though because the Odin flashing always goes well, everything loads until Odin says pass.

Sounds like your partitions are jacked up, might try flashing a new pit file

Flash the firmware with the PIT file and check re-partition.
How did the device arrive at this state?

Hey thanks for the input guys, this phone got wet and when it was dried and turned on again this is the state its started in. I took out the logic board and checked for any damage from the water (corrosion) and its all clean, I even sprayed it with WD (water displacement), allowed it to drain and then heated it with the heat gun which vaporized the WD. I flashed with the pit file and all goes well, but it just reboots back to same errors. Fellas feel free to msg me on WhatsApp +5926792003 anytime. I'm just happy to know there is a place I can ask for help and get it! Here in Guyana the few phone techs I've talk to don't seem to be this in depth with some of the stuff I've learned from here, all these Guyanese tell me to do is change the board but I'd rather be sure that its beyond repair before I invest my hard earned money which is not easy to come by. The cost of the board is around 23000 Guyana dollars, which would be about 105 USD.
I forgot to mention, when I flashed twrp, in the advance wipe option, when I choose repair, I can see an actual size on the system and cache partition, but all other partitions show 0mb.

Bro don't ever flash the pit. Go to www.sammobile.com and download the J700TUVU2APK6 firmware. Extract the zip on your PC and open Odin. Now go to Options (2nd tab) and unclick auto reboot. Click bootloader update, Nanderase all and reset time. Put the tar in the AP slot and flash it. When it completes flashing pull your battery. Boot into recovery holding the right buttons and let the phone erase and update the system. When it finishes it should boot into recovery by itself, if it doesn't pull your battery and boot into recovery again. Then let the phone boot and you're good to go. When you root this time and install TWRP make sure OEM unlock and USB debugging are ticked in developer options this time.

Please don't make statements when you're not sure what it is your advising.
Flashing the firmware hasn't worked as already posted.
The device is beyond simply flashing the firmware. It is fine to flash the PIT file with the state the device is already in.
@JrTech
It seems your partitions are damaged. There is hope if the system partition can be mounted which means the EMMC isn't totally dead.
Boot to TWRP and save the recovery log. Post the recovery.log file here (not the output).

I was just checking on the firmware he advised to download and wondering how would this be compatible with my j700h, because this is a T-Mobile update

Exactly, it's the wrong firmware.
Did you ensure to check Re-partition when flashing?

Yes I did, and I do think when I add the pit file Odin automatically checks re-partition, I checked to make sure and it is set to re-partition, all with the same result as before.

Hey ashyx I'm out running an errand, but I'll post the log as soon as I get back in. Thanks for your help and patience bro!

No rush, I'm at work for the next few hours, so won't be able to examine the log until then.
