Hey. I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 and I rooted it a while back. When I rooted it, it was on the MDL firmware. Eventually, I wanted to return to stock, so I used Odin to flash the MF3 firmware on it, little did I know, AT&T made it nearly impossible to root with this new firmware. Now, the phone is working running the stock firmware, but I get some weird bugs and also the Samsung Custom splash screen still shows up when I boot it up and not the Galaxy S4 splash screen. Is there any way to fix this? Would using that tedious new way to root the MF3 firmware help at all?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S III Verizon (model: SCH-I535) and its currently updated to its latest firmware, I was trying to downgrade/ root it but it wont work it keeps failing on Odin. My purpose was my main question, is it possible that I could flash a stock SGH T999 firmware on my phone? I would be really grateful if someone showed me a step by step process on how this could be done.
And recently I cant do anything with my phone but officially upgrade it. I think when i upgraded its firmware the security suddenly got tighter, can someone help me about this?
My plan was suppose to be (knowing that 4.3 and the latest firmware on my Verizon prevented me from doing anything): to downgrade to a lower firmware version, then flash the T-Mobile stock firmware.
So i was trying to root the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, Root Worked Through Odin, And It Boots To OS, thats fine, But The Wifi Button is Basically Broken, and i took the Tab off my LTE plan, I Didn't Bother Trying To Unlock the Bootloader In Fear Of the Dreaded Brick. i'm on 4.1.2, VRBLL2 .....And I'm Looking To Flash Stock Firmware Back And root Using A Different Method,....The Catch!! ... i cant Find The Samsung Sch I705 Official Firmware Anywhere, all links are Broken. Someone Wouldn't happen to have a Copy would They!?!?

hey guys, so im sure many have tried to put cyanogenmod on a VZW Samsung Galaxy s III with 4.4.2 OTA on it. but couldnt. im really looking to put CM11 on it. im very much so new to rooting, and flashing roms, but i already rooted my device, and flashed the stock firmware back, due to not having a CWM back up and getting "system software not authorized by verizon" warning.
so my question.
can i downgrade my firmware from 4.4 to earlier to have an unlocked bootloader without bricking it? do i need to go to 4.3 and then 4.1.2?
because before 4.3 it had an unlocked bootloader.
I really want CM because i cant stand touchwiz anymore. thanks guys . help a newb out
oh and. should i use towel root? or another rooting method
Your now on the locked bootloader and you cannot downgrade to another firmware. You can root with towelroot but that's truly about all you can do

Download a stock tar and flash via Odin. You can flash 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 or even boa6 5.0 lollipop

Hey there!
The U11 is my first HTC device ever (I had the Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Note 2, LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge).
With the Samsung devices, flashing a stock ROM was very easy. Downloading the stock ROM from Sammobile and flashing it via Odin.
How is it on the U11? The Android 8 update is on our doorstep and I want to do a clean flash, but since I didn't root so far, I really want it to be 100% stock without voiding the warranty.
Is there a site to download the (European unlocked) Android 8 ROM when it's available? How can I do a full clean flash (I don't mind losing all data)? Thanks a lot! I know my way around custom ROMs and flashing, but with HTC devices it's somewhat confusing.
Ruu's don't appear for some time after release ota. If you've never modded your phone you have nothing to worry about. If your phone is carrier locked and you want to change the firmware to unbranded you have to root and s-off.
To unroot back to stock just flash the firmware of the current version the phone is on. You can then take ota updates. You don't need to relock bootloader etc either.
