How to get back to stock safely?

How to get back to stock safely? I have seen the thread in the general area for showing the zips but I do not know which one to download and what to do after downloading. I bought it from a T-Mobile Store USA. Does it matter what baseband? How do I know if I have old or new? Please help with as much information as possible so I can get back to stock safely, thank you.

download LG USB drivers and LGMDP, install them, if the phone is not detected boot into recovery, mounts, and mount usb, now your phone is detected, update to latest android version available, that will make your phone to run GB 2.3 stock, if LGMDP it says that you have latest version just do it anyway
you will loose root and recovery
useing KDZ for unexperienced people is dangerous, but if you do, do not pull out battery before everything is done(if it takes 1 hour you will have to wait), unless you want to hardbrick your phone

Try tutorial mentioned in sticky area:thumbup:
Baseband doesn't matter in this case,if you are flashing stock rom from pc.
And if you're worried as that much try to flash Open Optimus/Oxygen/Gingersnap rom/s from recovery.
they all are stable and give you stock experiencesurely.

If you're going back on stock for changing baseband try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530
And if you really want stock original rom then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168245
Warning - go above link if you are on new basband(v20x).otherwise if you're on old baseband(v10x) this won't help you.

Our device doesn't support/having stock recovery ,only customs recovery support .
Check in setting - about device section -baseband version .
If you saw there v10x so you‘re on old baseband & if v20x you are on New baseband.
If you are on v20x then simply follow previous link instructions

You are more likely going to get help if you post in detail your issue, what exact model note you have, what custom rom and recovery you installed, what version of odin your using.
Give as much detail as you can............

Well i have the GT-N8000 an i used ODIN 3.0.7 flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery here:
forum.xda-developers - show thread 2102677
after that i flashed CyanoGenMod ROM 10.2 Nightly ("cm-10.2-20131221-NIGHTLY-n8000.zip") Here
download.cyanogenmod.org device GT-N8000
I tried to restore splash sreen by flashing a stock ROM N8000XXCMF1_N8000PHNCMG1_PHN again... didden't work...
so any other thoughts are welcome...

The initial Samsung splash is in the kernel .
Suggest in recovery format data system cache and sdcard .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via odin .

So i need to look for separate kernel file. a stock rom doesn't have a kernel, only basic system files...

If a stock rom has no kernel in your view i suggest you read the faqs and guides before flashing anything ever again .
Kernel - This is always supplied with a ROM. It is the beating heart of Android. The ROM cannot function without the kernel. Since all ROMs include a kernel, if you're using a custom Kernel then flash a ROM, you will need to reflash the kernel again.

with ODIN i usually dont have any problems with flashing roms. Not where exactly the splash screen is installed...
but with a rooted rom things can go bad. Normally when you flash a rom the splash screen stays unaffected.
For some reason it was damaged. so i need to find a way to repair it... not easy ....

When you tried to flash to factory firmware did odin give you a message of pass or fail?
When you flashed to factory ROM did it actually install the factory firmware?
Have you have tried other versions of odin.......a copy of Odin3 v1.85 in attachment, if you want to try it.

First, what build you have? ROW or CN?
If you are unsure, try reflashing TWRP CN and see if it works.
If it doesn't, sorry to tell you that....
YOU ARE NOW HOLDING AN AP SET OF THAT PHONE(SJROM.CN):crying:
That stage, you ain't go anywhere. Just play with your stock ROM and Xposed.

Had you ever OTA update the phone at some point? If so, yes flashing will fail because security has been increased whenever an Android phone gets an OTA update. If you didn't, retry TWRP ROW and see how it looks like.:good::good:

how to reflash TWRP CN? Download mode, select only recovery??

Hi ,
Can you boot it up normally? If yes, then reflash recovery.img using any flasher apps download from play store ( e.g : flashify )
& If not,
if it MTK chip device, the best way to flash new img file is by using SP flash tools.
Also, for MTK device, you're able to create CWM recovery from your original boot.img automatically, using MTKDroidTools. Or PhilZ ( The best ever! )
Good luck!:good:

Mi4i bootloop after flashing a custom ROM

I have installed Twrp recovery on my Mi4i.
When I flash a new ROM and restart the device, it completes the Android is upgrading process.
But once the finishing boot screen appears, the phone automatically freezes and shuts down.
After restarting the phone I get the Language selector screen of initial setup process,but that also freezes in some seconds.
In short the custom ROM is flashed properly but i could not go with the setup process.
When I flash the official Miui ROM it does not give me any trouble and the phone works perfectly fine.

Make sure you are using MiUI 6 developer version 5.6.11 or stable version below 6.7.10...

I have the same issue, where I can find old version ? From the official site doesn't work to download.
Do you have same mirrors for download?
L.E. I found version 6.6.1.0 on other site.

Are you sure that it will work fine?
I am also facing the same issue.
Sent from my Mi 4i using XDA Free mobile app

I'm pretty sure, because now I have a custom rom Cyanogen.

I am also facing the same problem, can someone help me in detail. I am new to rooting.

i m also facing the same issue

flash MIUI developer edition V5.6.11 or V6.6.x before you flash any cm12 based custom rom

I'm not the only one :highfive:
btw same thing happened on yureka when flashing miui on it. Forgot to mount /persist.
But here on twrp there is no option for /persist and no cwm for mi4i afaik :/

Thanks for putting this here in troubleshooting threads.
Faced same issue.
Downloaded and flashed http://bigota.d.miui.com/V6.6.10.0....ICF_20150626.0000.4_5.0_global_52e9660609.tgz
then followed with instructions of Custom ROM. No hang and restarts now

[RESOLVED] Can't go in Custom Recovery Mode

Hi, I'm sorry for the bad language because I'm not english and I'm sorry if I wrong section. I've tried to install a custom recovery on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060). I've tried to install it by odin or by some apps, but I can't use the custom recovery mode! When I press the combination of Volum Up + Power + Home it goes in default recovery mode, so I can't install a file zip of a CyanogenMode. I've tried to go in custom recovery mode by some apps (ROM manager, TWRP manager..) but the app crashes. Any help, please?

Once you installed the recovery you have to enter it right away before booting for the first time or the stock recovery will overwrite it which is why your getting the stock recovery .

First of all see if a normal reboot fixes this.
If not.
In phone settings ->about phone
See if you have
1)baseband
2)imei
(Don't list them here just check if you have them)
Most probably this could be a problem with the ROM and can be fixed by flashing baseband.zip that you'll get from the same site you got the ROM.

This is the link where I got the ROM, but I don't find Baseband.zip

Well try another ROM ,its the one way to fix this.
Another would be to flash your imei ,you can find it in your phones case ,the tool would be sn write tool if your phone has mediatek (don't know/not familiar with other chipset family)
Plus the ROM you gave the link for is buggy and not in development.so you should try another ROM or if there isn't one use stock.
Incoming calls wont work either defenatly not a ROM to use as a daily driver

But if you really wanna uninstall boot into twrp, choose wipe then wipe data,cache,system, and dalvik.
