[Q] Trying to get back to stock Firmware - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right so I've recently got a brand new phone to replace my Galaxy 3 (A Galaxy Nexus, such a huge difference) and am now trying to get my old phone back to the Stock Firmware since I plan on giving it to my little sister and it seems like a bad idea to give her a phone with the incredibly buggy (but still very good) Kyrillos' ROM 10.
I've tried using the JPU firmware I found on this very forum. I booted the phone into Recovery, wiped data, cache and Dalvik, then booted the phone into Download mode and used ODIN to flash the JPU ROM onto it. This has resulted in a bootloop as has every other stock 2.2 ROM I have tried. I did manage to get KyoraROM 2.2 running on it but as good as that is I don't want to give anything custom to my little sister.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

After you flashed JPU, just wipe data one more time if it doesn't work, then re-flash the rom and wipe data/cache.

How can I wipe the data if it won't boot? Its a stock ROM which means no ClockworkMod recovery.

The simple solution is install jpu rom install fugumod our g3mod whichever you prefer via Odin and then wipe data
Kernels come loaded with cwm if I remember correctly

actually if u'll try to boot in cwm with stock kernel by key combo...you'll see that there is cwm & option to wipe data...look a lil' better & you'll find

I ended up just giving her the phone with KyoraROM on it. She's happy with it like that running TouchWiz and without any overclocks etc. on it the phone doesn't crash so no problems.
Thanks anyway folks.

Just to clarify your doubts, there is stock recovery. Except that it has a very limited functionality

Samsung vibrant help needed.

I flashed back to stock 2.1 on my samsung vibrant.
the phone boots up fine at first, then all of a sudden i get a wierd screen and the phone reboots automatically. i dont know what the problem is. can anyone please help me with this problem.
the phone is continuously rebooting for the past half and hour. and i have no idea what to do now.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
im posting a photo of the "wierd" screen below. the quality is crappy, but i cant help it.
Were you coming from a GB rom? Be sure your not mixing bootloaders...Not sure what that is but if you flash just the stock kernel in ODIN, with the phone off (pull the battery)and using the button combo try and get into DOWNLOAD mode. you might recover it....or flash the Bali kernel and then try going back to stock again.

yes i did try flashing a 2.3 ROM,but it didnt work properly, so i tried flashing the stock 2.1 again using ODIN...it got installed, but later all these things started happening.
i even flashed the 512 PIT file that came along with the stock 2.1, but still no use.
can u please post the link to the kernel you are talking about and also how should i flash the kernel?
thanks for your reply.
hey the problem is solved. i installed eugene's 2.2 leaked build and my phone is back to normal now...!!!!
thanks for all your help. i really appreciate it...!!!
Glad to hear you got it...just be careful to know which bootloaders you are on, GB or FROYO... unless you have alot of problems with a ROM its not really necessary to ever flash back to stock...I flash rom to rom without any issue as long as you:
1. wipe cache partition,
2. then wipe dalvik cache and then
3. factory reset all from CWM...
4.then flash whatever .zip ROM you like.
Flashing back to stock FROYO/ECLAIR from GB with an odin rom you must be sure the stock rom either includes both PBL and SBL or no bootloaders at all and then your good.

Can't complete new (stock) firmware upgrade

Is any one having a problem with downloading the new firmware using kies mini?
I am able to download all the binaries, my computer goes to the install progress screen, and my phone goes to download, but there is never any progress on the install screen, and after 5 minutes or so, Kies states that the download fails. I also tried the emergency firmware recovery. It does the same thing.
Everything is stock and locked.

After I flashed the KD1 Deodexed ROM the upgrade worked great! Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696
Get to stock KD1 first then try again.
I'm seeing the same thing, and I am running stock KD1, other than the fact that it is rooted and has CWM recovery.
Ideas?
Mine bootlooped after the upgrade, and I tried to flash stock kd1 3 times and I finally had to wipe user data and cache before it finally took and then I was able to update via kies
In CWM do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik in advanced menu, and Go into the voodoo menu > Disable lagfix and /system lagfix off. Reboot and let linda deconvert the file system. Save any personal files off your SSD card and format it. Then try the update again.

How do you delete data and cache? Does this mean all the apps that remember some state will lose it?
Specifically, after the binary download completes I get the error screen from Kies immediately and then a second or 2 later the download screen comes up on the phone, and it stays there until I reboot.
you wipe it in recovery, and you will lose everything but whats on your sd card. pretty much it will be like new state.
I went through the same process and it almost hard brick my phone, it wouldn't turn on or anything for 10 minutes. I had to downgrade to stock KB5 then upgrade using Kies.
This is the rom I flash with prior to upgrading through Kies.

Success
I was also having issues upgrading ith Kies. I was hoping to find a stock KJ6 and flash with ODIN and I did on Piratebay, with instuctions on how to flash and root with Odin.
I have successfully upgraded to GB. Coming from Stock Froyo, rooted.
Having the SGS 4G upgraded to GB is an amazing experience.
Performance increased dramatically, Battery life is ridiculously better (26 hrs unplugged with auto sync on, and battery stats actually work now) lots of polish to TW, but I don't think its 4.0
Heres the link to the torrent. For anyone having issue, this is a great solution.

I'm looking forward to custom ROM! Thanks XDA Members!
Piratebay link blah... Don't flash stock, unless you really like not having a rooted phone. If you want the new official GB, I recomend flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351783 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323973 both of which are based on the new GB release.
If you can't get Kies Mini to work, you can always flash the update manually with Odin.
Here is the official update that can be flashed with Odin (you do have to extract first, so you'll need WinRar or 7-zip)

Infuse Loops at Recovery after RemICS flashed.

____________________________________Solved, thanks for all who offered help.___________________________________
Hi All, I have just flashed the RemICS ROM 1.3 and i have followed the set of directions for Gingerbread users, which I previously was. The installation had been successful until I did the final Reboot, where it loops back into the Recovery mode even after numerous of re-flash and reboots. I'm pretty sure the ROM is installed, yet it would not load into the OS, thoughts? Thanks everyone in Advance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523 I had the option C installed initially, for everyone's info.
________________________________________________Solution________________________________________________
Finally got my ICS working now. Can't thank you enough for qkster Heimdall One Click Gingerbread ROM.
For everyone's reference, the following is what I've done;
1) Flashed the Heimdall One Click GB Stock rom, a big thanks to qkster,
2) Flashed the CWM Recovery just under the same thread,
3) Flashed the RemICS rom with factory wipe and formatting data, system and cache, again after reboot.
4) >Bootlooped at the SAMSUNG screen,
5) Followed the solution of bootlooping under the RemICS thread and flashed Heimdall GB Stock again,
6) Flashed Clockworkmod again,
7) Installed RemICS rom again (Step 3) & WORKING LIKE A CHARM NOW!
I suspect my initial problem was caused by internal conflicts between the Rooted ROM and ICS, yet it is not evident nor I'm experienced to make such conclusion. Anyway, glad that my Infuse is finally able to run on Ice Cream Sandwich and I really dont care about what had caused the problem prior.
Big Thanks to rkkaranrk and qkster.

Gb bootloaders would not cause this problem...it only causes rainbow...I've had this happen to me countless times when I was porting Roms back when I had an infuse...I just came to the conclusion the the ics recovery is buggy and is borked easily
The fix, flash back to stock via heimdal or Odin, then get cwm recovery and flash the Rom using gingerbread instructions (double flash) (unless you flash the ics kernel...in that case one flash)
If you want detailed instructions on flashing or getting gb bootloaders (in case you have rainbow recovery) then check out my infinitum port thread (in my signature) at the bottem of the OP you will find some good instructions...I wouldn't reccomend flashing it though as it is old and doesn't have the latest fixes...but the flashing instructions are still good

I had faced this same issue last night when I was trying to flash REM ics on my friends phone and it don't have the GB boot loaders I tried to flash the recovery from the OP and after flashing recvery I was not able to RAF anything the fonts were so tiny and were in pink color.
After all this I flashed it back to lb3 thanks to Scott and from there I flashed it again and this time lost recovery was not able get the phone to recovery, So finally I decided to flash the GB BL with heimdall (thanks to qkster) flashed stock one more time with BL ticked and the REM ICS, All good.

The bootloaders fixed the rainbow recovery, what fixed your whole problem was that you flashed stock...so you pretty much killed two birds with one stone, you fixed your rainbows and you fixed your soft brick...
The pink recovery you referred to is known as rainbow recovery
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Mate u missed the part i said i flashed stock twice first time with out the BL and then with the BL, When i flashed stock without the BL and from there when i flashed REM i lost recovery so and flashed again with the BL this solved.
I had read all aver that BL does not mess with flashing only gives u messed recovery on ICS and rainbow boot but i don't know how this worked for my friends phone.
Edit: i know how rainbow recovery looks like but the fonts are still in blue color but in this case the blue fonts were pink in color and were too small if the normal size of the font say 10 then the size in this recovery was like 2/3.

Yes i have flashed the original stock gingerbread (the one listed in the OP) back onto my infuse last night. The phone is working flawlessly at this moment under the stock GB.
And the ICS Rom was flashed twice everything worked, cache cleared, factory reset, no rainbow, and the only problem was recovery looping. Im considering reflashing the rem ICS rom sometime soon but i doubt I'd see any difference, any chance i can get ICS working? Thanks for all the above replies

RemICS kernal question
I am currently using version 1.3 on my infuse. I have noticed that the past couple of days that the phone seems to be slowing down and doing soft reboots every once in awhile. I have gone through and deleted a bunch of apps and moved some to my sdcard and it has gotten faster, however I still have some slow downs and reboots, especially when coming back to the homescreen after exiting an app (It seems to take a few seconds to redraw the homescreen) or if an app locks up. I also have RemICS version 1.3.1 on my Captivate and it has a different kernel (Devil Kernel). I was wondering if there was a version of this kernel that would work with the Infuse as my Captivate seems to be rock-steady and fast. I have not overclocked or messed with the memory settings on the Infuse, but I have noticed that no matter what Rom I use on it (even stock Gingerbread loaded by ATT repair center), it seems to slow down and mess up over time. RemICS so far has seemed to last the longest and I would like to keep it going smoothly. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

yes it happens with me when i flash ics over gb and after every thing phone just struck up in blue recovery it happens coz some previous system files sometimes not completely deleted, dont worry just do following as what i do.
search and download infuse toolkit v1.10 and when u got in bootloop in cwm just flash this toolkit from cwm and follow the instructions till option full wipe or complete wipe after that it will again boot up in cwm recovery now wipe cach system and again install ur rom.

be positive, you can get ICS running in no time. follow our directions and you shouldnt come up with any complications
1. wipe data, cache, and dalvik
2. flash remICS
3. after reboot you will be stucked at samsung. pull out the battery and place it back in
4. enter recovery with 3 finger combo (vol up & down, and power). release power when samsung appears
5. flash rom again, and reboot
hopefully you should now see your phone booting up into ICS

Thanks for the tip and I have made 3 more attempts today, which all failed. I have returned to the stock rooted GB as mentioned at the initial thread each time to return to a working OS. I have recorded my last attempt of the day throughout the duration, including the method you have mentioned. I'll list what I have done in short below;
youtube.com/watch?v=RGCEkRVlHog (Unable to embed links, my apologies for any inconvenient)
1. Factory Format, Wipe Cache, Wipe Delvik Cache,
2. Flash rom from internal SD,
3. Advance > Reboot Recovery,
4. Flash again after re-enter Recovery,
5. Boot-looped as expected, thus flashed Infuse Toolkit v1.1,
6. Wipe Cache and Complete Wipe,
7. Quit and automatic reboot,
8 -Stuck at Cyanegen Mod Screen, wont enter Recovery Mod again-, no matter what i do. I tried pulling battery out and reboot into recovery, stuck anyhow.
Then I entered Odin and flashed stock GB back and my phone is working fine. Please point out any missing steps or mistakes to the installation. I suppose it's a conflict with the internal SD rather than system error, welcome to any suggestions. Again, thanks for all the replies so far. Anything is appreciated!
ps: I will give other Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs a shot this weekend, hope the above would not occur on the other roms. :/
Don't use the reboot option from recovery and did u tried downloading the ROM file again.

Sorry for the late update, but no luck for any other ICS roms available for infuse. All ended up the same, blue recovery bootlooped.
I'm wondering if there's any way that I can wipe all the data, including the stuff on internal SD like an ultimate factory reset with only the running ROM left so I can do a clean ICS flash? Thanks all.

It is possible that reboot recovery while in cwm got you in this recovery loop.
There may be a misc recovery img created.
You have to delete that misc with a prepare cwm-flashable script.
On the infuse, mounting usb in cwm doesn't work.
If you can get at it in adb, this command may work:
C:\> adb shell erase_image misc
You will have better luck in factory/data reset in cwm.
Put the phone in DL mode.
Odin or Heimdall back to stock with repartition and start over.
This time around, remember not to reboot into recovery while in cwm
I had the OP's exact issue when I upgraded from CM7 to remics last week. I was running froyo bootloaders and LB's CM7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195525) with whatever kernel came with that (it had blue CWM).
I followed the instructions for "coming from Gingerbread" in the original remics thread (before it was updated this week) and I ran into OP's *exact* problem with looping back into recovery. I got on the #infuse4g IRC and got help from Aerema(sp?) and entropy. I learned some new things and tried everything they suggested (a lot of which I'm reading in this thread)... but none worked for me.
To get to the point, in the end... and I know this doesn't seem to make sense, but what worked for me was using Odin to "return to stock", then flashing the kernel from the remics package and flashing remics.
I had been using qkster's Heimdall OneClick return-to-stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081). Heimdall always worked and didn't report any problems. I even used heimdall command line interface when I upgraded from froyo to gb bootloaders.
To this day, I don't understand why using Odin return-to-stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260) got me out of the recovery loop.
I *think* my upgrade path went like this.
Starting with CM7Kang/froyo BL
1) download remics1.3.zip, followed instructions exactly & flashed remics1.3.zip from blue CWM.
2) rebooted, ROM worked just fine but had rainbow recovery.
3) attempted qkster's heimdall OneClick GB BL upgrade (update bootloader checkbox). It failed.
4) updated to GB bootloader using heimdall command line (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24901128&postcount=3)
5) ** recovery loop ** seemingly tried everything from double-flashing kernel-only using heimdall command line to reverting back to stock (heimdall), format /system, Infuse Toolkit, etc and so on.
6) used ODIN return-to-stock and from there the upgrade went perfectly.
I, too, would like to express my gratitude to bradman117 and everyone else involved in making this ROM available to the general public. I'm really liking it. Nice to have ICS on a > 1 yr old device. Thanks to those who still visit the #infuse4g IRC chan as well.
TL;DR - I had to use the Odin return-to-stock to fix recovery looping, even though Heimdall return-to-stock appeared to be doing everything correctly.
Problem Solved.

in recovery go to mounts nd storage and format system and cache then do the normal wipe data and dalvik cache then flash rom nd whatever else after it done nd ready go to advanced and fix permissons and then go to mounts and storage and if it isnt already mounted then mount system......hope this helps
Yeah...after going to stock, instead of flashing the kernel try the, double flash method...not sure if it will make a difference but its worth a try

Stuck on Google startup screen

New to xda, so I'll just let you in everything in the last 2 hours. I flashed Bugless Beast (2002-06-09), wiping cache and dalvik cache and it ran fine. Then I installed the Matr1x bfs v22.5 from bootloader and rebooted once more. After that, it stayed on the Google screen until I removed the battery. So far the only possible solution that I've looked into is this thread called [HOW TO] Return to Stock Using Odin (VZW and GSM) -- you can google the link to see what I'm talking about. I can't seem to get the process to succeed. The attempts always end up as successful: 0 failed: 0 I tried using both the VZW from the first link given and the GSM: CF_ODIN_YAKJU_IMM76D_full for the PDA button on Odin. Nothing comes up on Odin when I mount the phone to the PC so I'm not sure if I'm even connecting, although I was able to connect the phone to the PC early today to transfer files. Could I be using incorrect files to start Odin? Am I connecting to Odin? Are there any other possibilities besides using Odin to return this phone to normal?
I was running early versions of Bugless Beast and Matr1x before flashing the new versions. Please, I need to get this phone fixed before this weekend. Thanks, in advance.

you flash jelly bean kernel on ICS rom !(v.22.5 and higher are Jelly Bean, v.22.0 and lower are ICS)
you can boot on recovery ?
like leap said you flashed a JB kernel on a ICS ROM. Just download Matr1x v20 and flash it from the CWM recovery, it should boot right away. If not just go in CWM wipe factory reset and reflash Bugless Beast, or any other ROM, and the proper kernel (Matrix v20 for ICS, 20.5 for JB). Don't mess with Odin if you don't have experience or flash a wrong ROM stock into your Nexus, unless you want a nice paperweight.

like leap said you flashed a JB kernel on a ICS ROM. Just download Matr1x v20 and flash it from the CWM recovery, it should boot right away. If not just go in CWM wipe factory reset and reflash Bugless Beast, or any other ROM, and the proper kernel (Matrix v20 for ICS, 20.5 for JB). Don't mess with Odin if you don't have experience or flash a wrong ROM stock into your Nexus, unless you want a nice paperweight.

Thanks for the instructions! You saved me like a whole day of trying to fix this phone.
