Flashking back to stock - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I have rooted, unlocked, and flashed CM10, and then flashed the stock ROM. I had trouble downloading the ROM from samsung-updates.com, and found a page with a different link to a file of a different name, but a similiar size. The file name is:
HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I'm curious, has anyone else used this file? Is that the correct file to use? When flashing back to stock rom with that file, do you also get the locked bootloader, the original recovery, and lose root? It seems like it does, but wanted to confirm. Do I still need to flash the bootloader as provided in this post:

I tried the link in section 6 and it completes after only 5 meg. Question on the kernel, if I didn't flash a new kernel when flashing CM10, did I screw up, and do I still need to flash the stock kernel?

OK, and the stock flash doesn't? Cool, thanks. How about ROM manager restore, does that backup and restore the proper kernel?

No. It flashes back to stock DI07 and does not touch recovery. I believe this is to give you a clean slate before flashing ROMs or a quick fix for when somthing goes wrong flashing zips.
you still need to flash DG27 to DI07 so you can get the latest modem.bin..what does this mean??? do i have to do something after i flash this rom that is attached?

It means you have to already have the DI07 update installed first because it only flashes the system, not the modem/phone or data.
updated!!!
http://firon.net/xda/SPH-D700-modem.DI07.update-signed.zip
Here's a modem updater. You need clockwork to flash this. Rename to update.zip and copy it to the root of your sd card.
This will update your modem/baseband from DG27 to DI07.
It will not check your phone's version, but it will at least make sure using it you're on the right phone model.
It will NOT overwrite root, your kernel, or anything else. It only touches the modem.
any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).
Data Wipe + Clear Cache did not seem to help when in clockrecovery, the android market wont let me download anything
noob, would you mind posting a copy of the DG27 modem.bin file? Some of us are having issues with Bluetooth audio and I wanted to see if reverting the baseband would solve it.
Awesome, noobnl you rock. Now i'm gonna really start messin with this phone

Hello all I'am new hear & i'm sure this is a noob Q but if my phone is rooted & has DG27 on it can i use Clockworkmod to flash this stock.epic.DI18.rom.update.zip to update it?
The Older Build .zip file is busted i downloaded it two times & both times winrar says
Code:
! D:\net down\stock.epic.DI07.rom.update.build2.zip: Unexpected end of archive
Clockwork also said the file was no good
My question is can i update my phone from DG27 to DI18 with the first file in the OP? & then use "update-modemtoDI18.signed.zip(from post #14)" I was reading things about having to up date to DI07 before going to DI18 also if any one would be kind enough to point me to the right files & stuff to get my phone updated. I have been on this forum & a few others for about 4 hours now and i can't seem to find an answer

Yes.
you won't lose clockwork recovery but you might lose root.
if you lose root access, you simply need to re-root or flash a new kernel.
He just needs to flash a rooted kernel and that's it. Just in case.

[Q] CM7 to Stock 2.3.4

Hey,
I'm new to Android, and still pretty bad with it, so when I set out to flash a custom rom last week, I never bothered to setup a backup. I didn't think it was going to be as complicated to get back to the way it was when I took it out of the box. I guess I'm still use to the iPhone. Now, I'm not completely happy with my phone and am looking to go back to stock.
I've looked in to it, and it seems easy enough, but I just have a couple of questions:
Pre-CM7 I'm pretty sure my phone was GRI54, and i9020, It's now GRI40. Does this make any difference?
And, finally, where can I download an official version of this?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

I've downloaded the i9020a one, but when I'm trying to update it it's saying "Installation aborted". I tried doing it from clockwork mod - and I don't know anything about it. Do you know where I'm going wrong here?

Sorry? I have to delete the files to keep clockwork from being removed?
All I did was flash it, restart, and clockwork was still there.
Also, my phone's internet speeds seem really slow now. Could this be from now having a different build? (GRI54 -> GRJ22)
Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge. It's quite obvious I jumped into something that's much over my head.

A stock rom has the script. So flashing it will also restore stock recovery. If the rom you installed does not restore the recovery partition, the the rom was not completely stock.

I've never used it myself.
Looking over the zip file, the script has been renamed, so it's not 100% stock.
Normally you would need to root the phone to change the file name.
Perhaps renaming the file in the zip will correct the issue?
try renaming /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak to /etc/install-recovery.sh and re-apply the zip. ( no need to wipe )
That rom was posted by dsixda, he may be able to confirm what needs to be done.
If you had root, it would be fairly easy to rename it.

This doesn't seem to work. It does gets you back to stock rom but I still have the old modem I flashed, old APN, CWM Recovery and still there and factory reset doesn't works. Just hangs with the little Android guy and an exclamation mark.
Is there something like ODIN for Nexus S to go back to stock?

This should work:
http://android.grdlock.net/index.ph... S&PHPSESSID=9dc0c107b878587d1e0b21ec1e3130ef
This should bring you to stock 2.3.3 for the i9020a
Then apply the official patch:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...5b.signed-sojua-GRJ22-from-GRI54.286d814d.zip
This will then bring everything to stock 2.3.4 with proper baseband and recovery

Quick newbiesh question about kernels

Forgive my ignorance, i've tried to do a few searches to answer my question but none have directly addressed it.
I recently rooted 2.20 successfully, installed CleanROM. If I want to flash a kernel, say cleanKERNEL, all I have to do is move the .zip onto the phone, boot into bootloader, and flash it that way? If I flash a kernel, will I loose all the customization I've done on the current ROM?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm unclear on whether you can flash kernels with the new hboot in 2.20, but if you can, you flash it like anything else. It shouldn't affect the rom as long as they're compatible.

Right, I did do that. But now I'm trying to flash a kernel. I have the new CleanKERNEL zip file, but I'm not seeing a boot.img in the zip.So I keep looking for some sort of .img, flash it, move CleanKERNEL zip to my phone, then flash that?
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh right... It builds the boot.img on the fly when it is installed from recovery. I believe you need to try and flash the kernel zip file from recovery. It will fail since you have to 2.20 hboot, but it will create the boot.img in a temp dir somewhere on your phone, which you can copy to your pc and flash via fastboot.

Yes, except for the very last step of re-flashing from recovery. I haven't personally tried this since I'm not on AT&T and can flash whatever from recovery, but I've seen this method discussed several times in the Blackout BeastMode custom kernel thread.

Looks like the people in the blackout beastmode thread already have a boot.img for them to use without looking for the one created in the temp file. Unless I can just use the boot.img from cleanROM which I'm already running? Or the kernel requires its on boot.img??

Download the relevant kernel to your device from here.
Reboot to recovery
Install the zip you just downloaded
This stuff tends to be a lot simpler than you'd expect, tbh.

Fastboot, you flash with fastboot and yes the kernel image is boot.img. You should probably also reflash your ROM (system.img if you're on the stock ROM) as many custom kernels also modify the system partition.

So no worries since you don't flash all (you use the "Method2" from the link I posted above), about the "flash-all.sh" file, when you open the factory image file, you have this script, more info here about the "-w" to delete: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51949577&postcount=4.

If want the stock kernel download the factory images from google and flash the boot.img via fastboot. That's the easiest way.
If you still want to use nandroid backup then copy the nandroid backup to the correct location... Head over to Philz Touch recovery and use the custom restore option by which you can select only the "boot" and "system" partition. But I haven't tried doing it so can't say whether it will work or not. However, technically it should work. I have no idea how to do this using TWRP though as I haven't used it much.

[Q] Remove Custom Zips/Mods

I have LG Nexus 5 Phone rooted recently. With Custom Recovery I have installed some Zips (Called Mods). One of the Zips is Corrupt and my phone is not responding at all. I want to remove the Custom Zip/Mod only as I don't wan to wipe off whole system.
Is there any way to remove that particular Mod using TWRP Manager or any other way without loosing my data/stuff on my phone.

@anshumangoyal, maybe the there is an "undo" zip file, a revert to stock zip file? What mod have you flashed?
Dirty flash your rom, no wipe, and you won't lose anything...
And no automatic backup, you need to do it yourself in recovery, first thing to do when you flash some stuff.

Without more relevant info I can only say that...
Stock rom? Custom rom? Link to the mod you flashed?

It's Stock ROM I have Rooted to, I am not using ay custom ROM. So whare to download this Stock ROM. And also once this Stock ROM is flashed do I need to root the phone again.
I may be asking very silly questions, but this is what I was able to know in last 1-2 months and "still Learning"
Ok, it seems you don't want to post a link to the mod you flashed, or at least say the name, I asked 2 times and maybe we could do a revert zip file for you if we know what you have flashed (it depends of what kind of mod) then...
Take a look here to return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701.
Or flash a stock rom via recovery? Maybe easier for you...
EDIT: stock roms, flashable zip file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52732041&postcount=4 (two first links), see above to flash...

Oops I am sorry, I was not aware of terminology here. If I see in System Setting I have Build Number: KOT49H and Kernel Version: 3.4.0-gadb2201
Is this information you are looking for. I had unrooted latest android software, which I rooted using wugFresh tool kit software on windows 8.
Model: Nexus 5, LGD820, D821
Android 4.4.2 KOT49H
I hope this will help out.
Nope, it's not what I asked but...
I gave you a link to some full stock roms (rooted) to flash in recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52732041&postcount=4 (use the first one for example).
Put it on your phone via computer, reboot in recovery go to the zip file you've just put, flash the zip file and reboot, the modified files from the mods you flashed will be replaced by the original stock files.
Use this link to "learn" how to use some commands (manually) and return to stock when you encounter a plroblem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701. Here you need to flash the system.img (I guess, since I don't know what you flashed), or "all"...
Maybe harder for you since you used a Toolkit the first time but with time and reading...
If it seems even too hard for you, then in your Toolkit is there an option to return to stock, reflash the system.img?
When I ask you what mod you flashed, I mean it's a theme? A kernel? A sound mod? A camera mod? Because if we know what you flashed, maybe we can do a revert zip file for you by replacing the files by the stock ones in the zip).
What is the exact name of the zip file, the last you flashed and gives you problem?
Read all closely and take your time...

Thanks,
Now I understood. These were two Zips I installed were: cargo_N5_RebootMenu_KOT49H_odex.zip and cargo_only_Batt___rechts_odex_N5.zip
These were 2 mods I had.

Ok, good.
The first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-advanced-4-reboot-menu-odex-t2521809, you have a revert zip file (just below the mod you flashed): Back to stock: cargo_N5_Back_to_stock_RebootMenu_KOT49H_odex.zip.
The second: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ps/mod-center-clock-battery-mod-odex-t2526039, same thing you have a revert zip file in attachment: Back_to_Stock_odex_N5.zip.
Download them and flash them to restore the original files, you really need to read closely before flashing stuff

This is Super Find. I am sorry, I was not aware of this. Next time I will check this for sure and make sure I also take a backup before doing these nasty things. Many thanks again for your help.
