hello
I just put my question here, because I have not found what I was looking for.
When I buy my tablet, I install a custom recovery, and a custom rom. Now I am back to the original rom without TWRP and root.
However, I have not found how. I thought facielement found the necessary files to do with Rodin, but I have not found. Do you know where I could find them?
If a factory restoration since the tablet will be enough? I have not tried it yet, but I do not think this is sufficient to remove the custom recovery, and root
Thank you for your help
Hi
You have to flash the stock android firmware with Odin. All firmwares are on sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com

Hi,
I´m a neewbie to Samsung. My phone is a S6 SM-G920F, Baseband G920FXXU1AOCW
I came form an HTC and I´ve seen that flashing things are very different. So here are my questions:
1. I think, my bootloader is unlocked but I didin´t know for sure. So how can I check this?
(My HTV showed me this by using fastboot, didn´t know if there is fastboot with Samsung and how to start it - only know the download-mode and how to enter TWRP recovery)
2. Flashing firmware via Odin (i. e. from sammobile.com) means to loose my root again, right?
3. If I loose root, where do I get custom Firmwares and how do I flash them (if this is possible)?
4. If not, is it enough to flash bootloader and modem through Odin?
All answers are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
Maybe someone can link me to an step to step instruction...
Fastboot is android doesn't matter who makes the phone.
If you flash a rom from sammobile then you will go to whichever stock you pick.
Other ROMs are available here. The phone is new. There aren't many yet. Cyanogen mod isn't available yet.
Root is available by flashing cfautoroot with Odin. You will need to get the specific one.
You can replace the recovery by flashing twrp team win recovery project with Odin.
You can flash boot loader and modem. Make sure you get the right region. The modem frequencies are different in different places.
You may find flashing a whole ROM even stock will fail. This is because the partitions are not the same size for all s6 stock ROMs. Don't ask me why. You can open the tar find which file stopped the flash delete it from the tar and flash again.

Thanks for answering. My questions had an other intention, I think.
My S6 is already rooted and I have a custom recovery (TWRP) :good:
I would like to know if you have to flash a whole firmware or only bootloader/modem? Because I didn´t seen a post here for a full firmware yet.
I am not familiar with the differences between htc whole firmware and samsung bootloader/modem
Actually I am on Firmware G920FXXU1AOCW. But there are newer ones like XXU1AOE3 or XXU1AOE4.
In the days of my htc you couldn´t flash only bootloader or modem, you had to flash a whole firmware (like radio, drivers, bootloader, modem etc.)
Flashing only modem and bootloader will it update i. e. touchscreen drivers? If not, where do I get this ones? You know, because of root I don´t get OTA´s anymore...
The modem just controls how your phone hardware connects to carrier towers etc.
The boot loader is a tiny thing that tells the processor where and how to load the OS.
The software for pretty much everything is in /system.
Many of these releases are the same software, region specific. The dates are fairly unimportant for the same version number. They generally reference the time when they were uploaded by someone. Not that they have updates and fixes.
Just wanted to know can I change my phone logo MetroPCS to say T-mobile with all the T-mobile add on. I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 by MetroPCS
Hello,
I have a rooted Verizon HTC One M8 running on Android 4.4.2. I do not have the stock recovery and for some reason I am unable to flash CWM, so I am stuck with TWRP. I keep receiving notifications that Lollipop is available to install, but it fails each time I try to install it because I am rooted. How can I unroot and get back to my stock ROM so that I can install the update?
No need to update via OTA. Just follow the instructions here and you'll be on rooted 5.0.1 stock

Questions
Thank you for the reply. Are you 100% sure this is compatible/will work with my phone? If I flash the ROM and it doesn't work, can I simply flash a backup image I made to recover? And when I flash the ROM, will I lose all the data on my phone? Also, where may I download my stock recovery? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find one for the Verizon version of the HTC One M8.
Thank you
That RUU is a complete stock firmware package, including the recovery. Read the OP.
But if you're just looking for the stock recovery you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52017763
That alone won't let you take the OTA though. If you modified your stock rom the OTA will fail.
You can find a complete stock rom elsewhere here on XDA, but why the trouble if you have it all in one neat package with the RUU?
Thank you very much for the help and useful information.
Sorry to bother you with all the questions but I have one more. How do I make a backup of my stock recovery? Say I went out and bought a new phone, how would I backup that stock recovery?

Hello,
I rooted my s5 way back when it first came out but I haven't upgraded the firmware at all. From what I remember I had trouble installing a custom recovery so the phone is only rooted. I would like to bring it up to the most current version of android. What's the easiest way to do that? I'm on baseband version G900PVPUIAND2.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2742994 which had a link to the stock factory image but sammobile doesn't seem to be hosting it anymore. Is there another reliable place that I can get it? Or would just doing a factory reset of my phone make it so I can start taking OTA's again?
The latest stock firmware for G900V is Marshmallow QC1. You can download it here and use ODIN to flash it:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767155677
If you want to root it you can use CF-Autoroot in ODIN. This will trip Knox if not already tripped (but probably doesn't matter on an older phone like this).
https://download.chainfire.eu/408/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.zip
If you want to install TWRP you can use ODIN again:

Good luck.
Hello!
I need some help on restoring the stock ROM onto my SMG920F. I have tripped Knox using CF-AUTO ROOT. This ended up breaking my phone. So me being me reset it back to factory settings and Installimg twrp recovery.
I then did something absolutely stupid. I wiped everything using the advanced features. So in the end had to Install a custom ROM as I couldnt find any stock roms.
I would like to have an unrooted and stock SMG920F rather than a routed one :/ can you guys help with that.
My current ROM is nemesis

You need
SamFirm 0.3.6.0
Odin Odin3 v3.12.7
Open SamFirm
Paste in Model SM-G920F
Region DBT
Mark Auto
Click to check Update
Mark decrypt auto
then download.
find the odin flashable stock Rom at the same folder SamFirm, unzip.
flash "G920FXXU6ERF5_G920FDBT6ERF1_G920FXXU6ERF6_HOME.tar" in odin as AP
and your S6 will live again
but if Knoxx is tripped, its forever...
Hey! I have found a website that provides stock roms. I have installed one and my phone is factory new. I even get OTA updates and everything is official. the only thing about my phone is that i tripped knox lol. the website is
updato
I then found a "how to install an officialsamsung stock firmware using odin" and followed that guide
The rom I downloaded and flashed using Odin is here (just copy and paste this at the end of updato
firmware-archive-select-model?record=583A76F4915811E89F15FA163EE8F90B
the way i did it was wipe the usual stuff when you want to flash a custom rom but instead you use the stock ROM. only down point is that it puts your recovery back to stock to. So if you want twrp again just flash it and it should be good to go
if i could post links i would so if you want them then message me and i will link things to you.
Yes I just answered my own question. A thanks would be appreciated

Hey all,
I have an S7/SM-G930W8/heroltebmc and had it running LineageOS for a while and was loving it... Until I found out it's locked to a carrier and apparently will refuse to unlock with a custom ROM installed.
I tried installing stock rom from https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ and got stuck on boot screen; tried installing stock rom and recovery and got stuck in a bootloop. Now I need to recover from odin and I figured the best way to do so would be to find stock firmware for my device, except the link above only seems to provide .img files, and the external links on the site lead to SammMobile (paywall locked), Updato (broken download links), and Samsung-Updates (site cannot be reached.)
Does anyone know where I can go to get the stock firmware for my device or have a copy they'd be willing to share? Or alternately know of a better way to get back to stock from where I'm at so I can unlock this thing and get back to enjoying lineage?
