[Q] Help me restore my Galaxy 3 to Stock/Factory

Hi there,
Long time lurker, first time poster and overall Newb.
I was wondering if anyone could please provide concise instructions on How to restore my phone to stock Galaxy 3 2.2 Firmware.
I have it Rooted (via super one click), OC3 Mod 2.6.32.9 and Kyorarom Infinity (v0.4.1 JPU) currently and am having major issues with stability.
Yet How can I restore it to Factory so that Kies recognises it?
Ive tried the hard reset with the button pressing but it just loops back to oc3 mod. Do i need to "unflash" it somehow or reflash it to a base package?
Please Help.
Regards

Take a look at the stock ROMs here & download suitable one for your region.
BTW, you should have posted in the Q&A subforum.

Yep cheers, ill give that a crack, and copy that on posting elsewhere. tyvm

Hi guys. The link provided above seems to be broken, well the links embedded in them are broken. Can anyone advise me, which stock firmware i need for a Samsung Galaxy 3 bought in New Zealand, and provide an active link?
Thanks a bunch

look over here

Is there a way to tell, which firmware i need as stock from the above link, by looking at my phone physically? Or checking somewhere in settings? Im guessing its region should be North America...

physically theres no chance given
just use the settings -> scroll down -> telephone info
you see the versions here

flashing any of these will allow you to connect to KIES, that will tell you if you need another version

KIES:
in my former days I had the thought that KIES is really necessary and tried a lot of eclair FW versions from the link above (samfirmware), but none of them established a succesful connection with KIES.
Therefore I upgraded manually with ODIN and uninstalled KIES.
I dont miss a thing until now.
Good luck in finding a fw which connects with KIES.
I read anywhere that XXJG1 or XXJG7 is one the rare fw which could establish a KIES connection. Maybe I am wrong...
A feedback from anyone which of the fw versions can connect to KIES would be very helpfulin this topic.
Cheers

I tried doing the OTA update, when it downloaded, it went to recovery and wouldnt do anything!! I try to hit "Reboot Now" or any of the options, and it just blinks, then goes back to the recovery page. Should i try to update again? This is not my phone, so im freaking out. I'ts on stock, so i dont know why it did this. Is it normal? Its the Samsung Galaxy Prevail (m820) on android 2.2.2 (Trying to update it to 2.3.6). If someone has the Odin .zip file for the 2.3.6 download it would be great, i've found links in other places, but they're broken.
Help, this is urgent, Its not my phone (and yes its my mistake for agreeing to help them.) And im not sure how they will take the news. Thanks

Need more info, exact model number firmware you were on, firmware file you were tryimg to flash, did you check, or uncheck anything in Odin? Download mode is good, you should be OK.
How do you know its softbrick? Bootloop, hang at logo? Which one?, as much data as possible will get you fixed faster.

I had same problem. You need a PIT file for p6200 and use it in odin together with the newest firmware from sammobile.com.
It works for me.

I have limited knowledge on flashing, but as far as I know, If u r using a 'PIT' file, be sure to check on 'Repartition' Option in Odin (while flashing). If u Flash wid ONLY a md5 file, ensure that 'Re Partition' box is unchecked while flashing. May be u kept Repartition checked while you were not using a PIT file or vice versa.
If that is d case, try flashing again by following a correct process.

Download Stock ROM & Stock Recovery GT-N8000

Please Help
Before posting this thread i had tried to search several links from the Forum and all was dead. I know its an old device but i still keep till now.
My N8000 is currently stuck at the samsung logo, im using AndroidRevolution v21 and High on Android recovery. Well had used it for a year before it went bricked.
I can still access the recovery and download mode so i assume my motherboard not busted yet.
Can someone please help providing a way or a link to original GT-N8000 stock Recovery and Stock ROM ? Or maybe a link to the bootloader and modem and the PIT file as well. I want to try to flash it using ODIN. Oh and im from 4.4.2 before
Thank you

Thank you for the reply, i had try sammobile.com, but somehow i need to get a premium membership by paying. So i cant download from there. Any advice ?

Got it guys. I download the firmware from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8000 , hope it helps

[Completed] Requesting unbreak for my SM-P605K rooted

Hi, smart XDA Developers,
I just installed root about 2 months ago to my tab, and installed cwm with rom manager. However, I installed the wrong version of cwm and it never booted again. I thought my tab was in hard-brick mode. I searched Google, Naver, and even Baidu for informations of mbn or hex file of my tab. I tried to install the David's rom 5.1.1, but I failed at installing the cwm. Is there anyway to fix my problem? I have the original 4.4.2 P605K rom in my computer. Sorry for my poor English, and written from my iPhone in PM 8:41, December 2nd.
P.s. I'm quite busy. If you have time, send me the solution with email ([email protected]) or comments if you want.
Thank you.

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you install the original stock firmware through odin you can then re root and flash the correct recovery. Can you still get download mode and does your pc recognise your tablet ?
You can use updato here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/updato-largest-online-firmware-archive-t3413785
to obtain the correct rom for your tab
Good Luck

THAnks for your support, but my tab can't get in to download mode or anything. My computer recognizes my tab as QHSUSB_BULK , and I can't see anything but the black screen when I press the power button.

If your pc recognises the phone that is something but not being able to get into download mode is worrying. There are only 3 things I can suggest
Mskips toolkit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...olkit-unified-android-toolkit-galaxy-t2998214
or if you still have root then you maybe able to flash twrp through flashify from thr playstore or you can try flashing stock rom for your device through mobile odin
If none of these work then try asking your question here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/help
and hopefully the experts can help
Good Luck
