i am so confused, i did the OTA UPDATE and retained root, flashed the new deodexed 2.3.6 rom.
verified that i am on the new 2.3.6
just for giggles i tried to install version 4 supercharged, and it worked! all seems to be working, except the volume control from the problems from the deodexed rom 2.3.6
however when i check to see what version i have, it says 2.3.5
55.11.16.mb865.ATT.en.us
i did a reboot, it it has retained 2.3.5.
so what am i running?
i wonder if i could flash the FXZ since the phone says that im on 2.3.5???
answered my own question.
i tried to flash back via rsd lite and it stopped at 6/20.
did vol up/down
NORM BOOT and im back to normal'
2.3.6
supercharged V4
phone reports 2.3.5
hmm

That's because the underlying scripts are from 2.3.6, but because you flashed sc v4 all of the apps under system/apps were replaced from 2.3.5 essentially you are running 2.3.5 but you phone thinks it's 2.3.6 and none of the patches and fixes that came with 2.3.6 work.

Yup! If you flash 2.3.6 from bootstrap everything should return to normal.

How did you flash it? If you are planning to flash it through RSD Lite you have to mod the xml's. If you have root you can just flash the Stock deodxed 2.3.5 that's posted on the dev section

Then you can just install bootstrap and flash this: http://depositfiles.com/files/wk7i3b1n1 (Credit: lfaber06)
And you will be back to 2.3.5.

thanks!
it got past #6 this time in rsd
how come it only goes to 18 and not 20?
If got the update and 4.2.2 is terrible. So I would like to know how to downgrade back to 4.1.1. There probably is a way to do it through Odin (which would be preferred) and if there is, can you give me the links to the downloads.

can u please mention the exact procedure ? do we have to root the device before flashing ? or can we just flash a stock rom using a recovery like CWM recovery ?

Did you try a wipe data/cache in recovery mode? This should help a lot, after I did the new 4.2.2 is not so bad, is at least "good" ad the 4.1.2.

No root before flashing. But if you flash the stock rom via Odin, you will need to root it again.
If you can find a flashable zip, then yes, you can use a recovery.
But OP simply wants to return to stock 4.1.1. You can get back to complete stock setup with the Odin process.
Search online for exact procedures.

Deleted....sorry I was on another thread and thinking confused. If you want to flash back to stock factory file give me a second see if I can find the tar file for you.
buhohitr said:
This is the original firmware and you must flash it using ODIN. This include rom/bootloader/modem/kernel (everything), it will also wipe your twrp recovery also. After flashed this it will bring your phone back to factory stock. If you're thinking something else don't flash it and just post what you want and people here can help.

OK, here is the full firmware, unzip then flash with ODIN. This included rom/bootloader/modem/kernel(everything). This will bring back to factory stock rom.

If you already have strong signal and no issue with data drop, then you don't need to upgrade, otherwise yes you could upgrade and possible it may cure your poor signal...hopefully. In my case, this new radio did nothing to my phone signal.
and if i can would you give me a link for stock recovery ? I couldn't find it here
may be not

I don't think you can without reflashing stock rom.
BTW whats the problem with cwm or twrp ???
They are much better than stock recovery
And we don't get any OTA update so we don't need stock recovery for any reason..

unzip, flash as pda
a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want
im not responsible for any bricks
thank you...

Your welcome!
Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

So i need to unroot it as well ? Anyway flashed via odin original stock russian lollipop rom just to check for any update and the flashed twrp and rooted it back. Just that it takes 10 mins or more to do all this. Thought your small flash file would work .
