How to reset? Ive done Superonclick & Clockworkmod Recovery Rom

Things Ive done:
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband ver: I727UCKJ2
Kernel 2.6.35.11
Superoneclick Root
Clockworkmod recovery rom installed
I think Ive deleted some of the ATT bloatware.
How do I factory reset so I can get the next over the air updates?
IF I reboot to recovery with ROM Manager, will
Wipe/data factory reset & wipe cache set the phone back to like when i first got it from ATT?
I want to able to get the over the air updates tomorrow, What do I do?

If you have the stock UCKJ2 rom (which it appears that you do) then there is no need to factory reset or wipe data.
You will need to flash the stock recovery tar via ODIN, because OTA updates will not work with CWM recovery.

will this increase my flash counter?

No, because you would be flashing the recover partition only.
The flash counter trips only when a custom rom package containing a kernel (boot.img) is flashed.

Wipe data will never reset you to stock when you are running a custom from, which you are not. Nor will it return you to the stock recovery. So all you have to do is flash the stock recovery tar through Odin you can find that in development along with instructions. Also note that by updating through ota you will lose root access

My phone is running android 2.3.5. kernal version 2.6.35.11 and baseband is I727RUXKJ7. its a roger i727r though. so my baseband would be UXKJ7
I'm on stock rom, rooted and have cwm installed. I wanna delete cwm and totally wipe my phone of root and everything.
my phones speaker has been messing up and i want to send it in for warranty.
how can i do all of this without tripping the flash counter?

Basically, u can't. That being said I haven't heard of anyone tripping the flash counter and having issues. If you've done it once or twice u should be ok

[Q] How to update GTP3113??

I am on stock(P3113 rooted+cwm)...I am getting an OTA for 4.0.4 but for that i'll need to go back to stock recovery...Should i :
1) Flash stock rom n then take the OTA
2) Flash 4.0.4 through odin [ http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113 ]
3) Flash stock recovery n then take the ODA.
I would like to go with option 3 cuz it will require the min. amount of downloading....But for that i need stock recovery...So what should i do n is there any other way??

On my 5113 the only thing that worked for me was to flash with Kies and then reroot. It was well worth it though.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to get just the recovery and I think (not sure) that only Odin can unlock that partition anyway. There are some stock images in Odin format and I have been meaning to pick through them to see if I can find the stock recovery image, but since no one has posted such, I am guessing you can't.

But the problem is that i can't update vie kies...It keeps on disconnecting, so OTA is my only option n for that i need to get rid of CWM.

I am curious too, I rooted using this method, and have CWM installed.

I guess I can just flash the stock image and loose root, upgrade, then reroot. Hopefully, someone will drop a stock, rooted and deodexed 4..0.4 rom for the P3113.
Also, I have not used Kies before, so I guess I don't even know how to flash the stock image for this tablet. Can anyone help with that?

To flash stock you'll have to use the stock rom n flash using odin,,, But i was hoping that there is way around it...

I've updated today my rooted P3113 to 4.0.4
This is the only way to upgrade rooted P3113 (with CWM), because the samsung official upgrade scenario doesnt works on CWM
1. Backup with Titanium
2. Wipe/factory reset with CWM
3. Download and unzip stock 4.0.4 firmware from here, then flash it with odin (PDA button)
4. Configure your device (now it's clean stock apps and stock recovery)
5. Restore your apps with Titanium
6. Install CWM and root - If you wish so (just as you installed on 4.0.3)

I would imagine this is just like the 5113. If you use Keis instead of the OTA update it works. Apparently Keis uses the USB instead of the recovery. However, a lot of people are having trouble getting Keis to stay connected. But I used it with no problems. Just reflashed CWM and rerooted as you say, but did not have to reflash to stock.

Just updated manually from 4.0.3 + Rooted + CWM 5.5.0.4 (GT3113)
Sorry too young to post links
Went very simple (10 minutes)
Returned to Stock Recovery: h://theunlockr.com/2012/06/02/get-samsung-galaxy-tab-2-7-gtp3113-back-stock
REBOOTED
Applied Update (not 4.0.4, not sure what it was)
Downloaded 4.0.4 from Samsung directly: h://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113
Unzipped to Desktop
Updated to 4.0.4 using ODIN (PDA)
REBOOTED
System applied update on startup
Asked me to select language, date, Goodle backup, etc
It loaded all existing Apps, Wi-Fi, etc automatically no TiRestore needed
Up and running, seems faster- smoother, new keyboard (old keyboard was good, this one is as good better for big fingers?)

Back to CWM & Root
h://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722304

I downloaded the file from the Samsung site, launched Odin and updated. It kept all my apps and settings since I did not wipe. Flashed recovery, then rerooted, did not take long. If it gets yucky, I will do a factory reset.

Very helpful!
Very helpful guide.
On a semi-related note, I really like 4.0.4 it's certainly an improvement over the last and seems to have cured the stupid interface lag.

Ok flashed mine using mobile odin...no need to wipe data..

Your steps are so easy. I wish I could follow you on this, but I can't figure out how to revert back to stock recovery only. The theunlockr.com link shows how to completely revert the entire firmware. How do you revert recovery ONLY?

Hasn't someone made a .zip file that can be flashed with CWM? Why is it different than flashing a 3rd party rom?

[Q] New to rooting, updating

Hi,
I'm thinking about rooting my Note 10.1 (mostly because I want to use DicertoryBind/Link2SD) via ClockworkMod Recovery.
My questions:
I won't receive any OTA updates, cause the status will be custom, right?
I want to stay on stock FW, what can I do to update my tablet if there is a new OTA:
Can I directly flash the FW from sammobile with odin or are they not campatible with cwm? Would that mean that every time there is a new OTA, I have to unroot, flash back to stock recovery, get the OTA, flash back cwm and root again?
Isn't there a way to flash the update while keeping all my data (just like normal OTA does) and root ?
Thanks!

You can flash using ODIN, but you will need to re root the device, also chances are you will not lose data but in rare cases you will need to do a factory reset which will mean you lose all your data.

Above answer should answer this also but you will need to re-root the device

Okay, that means I download the firmware from for instance sammobile, flash it using ODIN (will that be PDA only, like flashing cwm?), and then re root means install superSU again from cwm or installing cwm completely new?
*edit* Thanks for the sticky!

Yes you can use this post to know how to install using odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366
You do not require CWM to root you can use the exynos patch apk to root you can download the apk from here

Hey, thanks so far, I just installed CWM, everything went fine, but if I look at the system status it still says "offical", does that mean I can receive OTA's? Or won't that work cause of CWM?
Also I believe before it didn't say "official" but "normal".
*edit* okay, nevermind, after a reboot it sys now "custom"

Since you have rooted your device you can also use Mobile ODIN to flash the roms from sammfirmware directly on your note 10.1. You just make sure everroot is ticked but if you think you might loose root then have both the CWM.tar file saved on your device, its a tiny file so no real space lost or if you don't care about CWM but want root access then keep the exynosexploit.apk on your device. I have everything I need on the sd card in case I cant get to a PC. Much better when I'm not tied to the PC...

Thanks so far, but theres one question left: From what you've said I think it's possible to flash with odin or mobile odin while CWM is still installed, what will happen to CWM after the flash? Is it completely gone (stock recovery comes with the firmware?!) or does "re root" only mean that I have to reinstall superSU with CWM?

You will go back to stock recovery but you might retain root if you ticked everoot function....
As I said earlier, you can reflash CWM onto your Note using mobile ODIN if you have the CWM.tar file stored on your device...

+1 for Mobile Odin if you're wanting to stay stock.
Use Exynos Abuse to root the first time.
Install Mobile Odin pro.
Backup your EFS partition off the device.
Install CWM using Mobile Odin and make a nandroid backup.
Back up apps with Titanium if required.
Download the new stock from you want and use Mobile Odin to install with Everoot selected.
Use Mobile Odin to install CWM.
Simplest method I've found by far.

After rooting with exynos abuse root, can you just do a factory reset to make you stock again to get OTA's?

I don't believe so (prepared to be corrected) but if you reinstall the stock rom without Everoot ticked and factory reset you'll be back to stock unmodified.

Never tried but I don't think so, The OTA checks for an unmodified system and even though stock recovery says its official the status in settings is "Custom".

What if I'm on the stock rom (never went custom) and stock recovery. All I did was root? Would a recovery restore allow me to get OTA's?

if you are on stock recovery then why would you restore recovery.
Yes if you are rooted only you will receive OTA if you are on the orignal rom (rom from country which note was purchased irrespective of the version you are on)

That is my situation, exactly. So, I can take OTAs in my present situation? I used #2 root option from zedomax. I haven't changed anything or used a custom rom. All I want to do is get current on my updates, and retain root and CWM.
Should I also use TriangleAway, and at what point? Thank you.
Apologies to the OP, but I've been waiting for a chance to resolve this.

If you used method 2 you have replaced the stock recovery... That's what CWM recovery means...
You're flash counter will now be one and need to be reset using triangle away. No OTA for you...

Soft Brick Question

Hey everyone!
Bone head move of the century, tried to flash a 4.2 rom on a 4.1 bootloader. After making some more mistakes, I've done a factory wipe and cannot restore from my external sd.
Tablet can still get into recovery and fastboot. Every time I try to flash a zip from my external sd, I get an error (red triangle).
Is there any way to go back to stock via fastboot? Just start over fresh? On my phone, I can unroot back to a stock rom from my computer.
Sorry if this has been answered/done before, but I've been searching for a while and I'm up sh*t creek right now without a paddle.
Thanks!

Yeah you should be able to flash back to stock 4.1.1 (10.4.2.20) via fastboot without issue.

[Q] Restoring my Galaxy S Blaze to its original configuration

I recently purchased a Galaxy S Blaze which I now need to return, but before I do so I want to restore it to its original configuration. The device is currently rooted, and ClockworkMod Recovery is installed. I had installed a custom ROM called Cyanogenmod 10.0.0, but then I eventually restored a backup, via CWM Recovery, of my original Gingerbread 2.3.6 load (baseband version T769UVLF5). Also, I have backed up my contacts, etc.
From what I understand, I need to unroot the phone, reset the flash counter, remove CWM and reinstall the stock recovery utility. And after researching the individual steps of this process, I'm still unclear on some of the details. So here are my questions:
1. In what order must these steps be performed, and is there anything else I need to do?
2. Since I have restored a backup of the original firmware, do I need to perform the additional step of downloading and installing a stock firmware such as SGH-T769-UVLB7-k0nane.7z in order to unroot the phone?
3. Where do I obtain the stock recovery with which to replace CWM, and how do I install it?​
I'm still new to all of this, and I want to make sure I do this right!

I followed these instructions to reset the flash counter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955273
After the reset successfully completed (from within CWM), I rebooted into download mode and installed the stock ROM SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar, as explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601
Once again, I rebooted into download mode, which displayed this information:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES(2 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
What did I do wrong?

Specifically, I don't understand how to reset the counter as the last step. (Because resetting the counter requires CWM, and CWM requires root access.)

You don't need root to have cwm, just Odin it.

Thanks, Romman0-- I didn't realize that.

Just to follow up, my problem was that I was flashing with the "stock" ROM SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar. When I downloaded and installed an "official" ROM from SamMobile, everything worked perfectly.
I appreciate everyone's help!
