Hi there,
I'm new to this, but my question is how to I return my phone to stock, I had someone root and add a rom to it and now I have lost my lte radio..but this person tells me all is fine and that I'm completely stock and just rooted, this may be true but the phone hardly works now..
info:
telus phone Note 2
sgh-i317m
but when I check my phone know it says its a samsung sgh-i317 now instead of sgh-i317m, this have made me believe that the phone maybe was rooted with n7100 firmware.
all I want is the phone to be completely stock as if I have just pulled it out of the box
I dont want it rooted or any sort of rom, I need all stock files because I have no backup of any sort also from what I can tell I may need samsung drivers and Odin I have no idea which I need or where to acquire the correct files...
please help

and while i was searching i found another update from this website
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242747
do i need to unlock my phone again after the update cos i'm not leaving in America
which rom is better
The update through the Samsung page will install a stock update, which means the phone will be un-rooted if it already is, and will be more difficult to root since it is Gingerbread.
The second link goes to a forum post outlining a non-stock ROM, so I assume it is already rooted and such.
As far as which is better... It is all up to what you want and your use case, pick one and hope you make the right choice.
hi basically i took my phone s3 gt-i9305 to a local shop to get it unlocked, after it was unlocked the system updates would fail and say modifiyed, i took phone back to shop today and he did some thing and it worked, only there was a prob it was branded to t mobile and some app where in swedish i think, i took it back and i told him i read a post on orignal pre-root roms on this forum, basically he flash the evr-bvbmf1 to my phone as that was what was orinally on phone, after he done it the device status said normal, i managed to delete the remaining t mobile apps but there is a supersu app on phone, i read i can use OTA with the rom that was used, i have never rooted or flashed anything my self, i just wanted phone unlocked and to be able to OTA, my questions are
1 if i OTA will it update and i will never see the tmobile apps again
2 if i OTA will the supersu be removed
3 if number 2 is a no how on earth can i get rid of the the supersu ?
i just want to be able to have my phone on offical OTA, its unlocked now and working but i havent tryed the OTA yet as i not sure if i will be able to get rid of supersu, desperate for help as it been doing my head in for 2 days and havent actually been able to sit and install apps or even play with my phone
thanks in advance for some advice, ps sorry for the long post
SOLVED now i think, but when i went to update it said i was on latest so i guess i have to wait till it needs update.

Ok...I bought a note 2 i317m from a guy and it was rooted...I think he also uses cf-autoroot...but the day I got it, I did a reset and if relocked the phone and it says its not rooted when u open super su. It was unlocked using the software method..like when its on 4.1.1 u can go into settings and unlock. Not sure what its called but u guys know the method im sure. The guy did some patching to he said..Don't know anything about patching but the phone has odin mobile and super SU on it still and they are not in the file manager?? I am fairly new to this stuff..like I have had every android I have ever owned unlocked and rooted and wanted to stop paying for it so I started doing it myself. Only Samsung models so far and only using chainfire methods. When I try to root now it says it cant open/find? (CoM) port. Just wondering if anyone kniw anything I can do or what the problem may be? Please help if possible..and thanks guys.

My phone is the AT&T version of the note 2. The root that I used was for this version. As for the boot loader, I'm not sure what you mean. I ran not the files through odin, just as described in the video.odin showed that everything was good. As did the phone until it re booted. Samsung is doing automatic Security updates now. And after the phone booted up, a message popped up from Samsung saying "an attempt to access a Secure area of your phone without authorization has been blocked."
My next step will be to install a custom rom. But I don't know if they will be able to block me from accomplishing this as well. This whole thing is really getting frustrating. It all started when I ran the update to 4.3 couple of weeks ago, and lost my tethering ability. This all I want. Just to get the free tethering app to work again. I had jelly bean 4.1.2. And the tethering app worked perfectly every time. Now with 4.3, doesn't work anymore. Do I need to downgrade back to 4.1.2? Or is their an easier solution? I'm wondering if it will matter what jelly bean you're using anymore if they're going to do auto security up dates that block all these type of things like custom rooms and rooting. Please tell me I'm wrong!
Thanks.

Ok here we go thank you to whoever takes the time to answer these sorry if I sound uneducated in this field but I have no idea what I am doing really.
1) I am running a Galaxy S4 through Koodo (Canadian) sgh-i337m baseband I337MVLUFNE1 the build number is the same but with KOT49H. added to the front of it, my question is is it possible to unlock my bootloader I've seen posts about AT&T locking theirs or something and I wasn't sure.
2) Secondly I've rooted my phone using Odin and how can I tell if my bootloader is unlocked? (keep in mind im not too tech savvy with the android OS yet)
3) What would happen if I flashed Cyanogenmod onto my device and it wasn't unlocked? I bought ROM Toolbox pro
4) How do I go about doing anything in recovery mode everytime I go through it shows a dead android guy and doesn't give me many options?
5) How do I change my boot screen, I tried a few methods but I don't think I am deodexed (which i don't know what it means really) and it tells me i cant change themes etc with ease, when i tried that x-(something) program to deodex my device it couldn't detect the device through the usb or it took ridiculously long and I quit out.
Thank you very much to whoever can help me out, I'm not sure where my Koodo GS4 falls in relation to canadian GS4's etc so I don't want to mess it up.
