My phone one is on stock firmware finally. In download mode it confirms that. It also confirms that current binary is Samsung Official. Do I need to worry for my phone getting bricked doing a complete software reflash in a Samsung Repair Facility? I'm asking because the phone says custom in about phone and I do know that it can mean just that the phone had more images flashed to it. I rooted with Kingroot about a month ago and since then I have been trying to get my phone like how it comes fresh out of the box. I have been going crazy since then and I'm posting this question now being that I will be able to visit one of Samsung's Repair Facility's in a few days. It's the Grand Prime with model # SM-G5030AZ. Please can you fellows who know much more than me help me with my dilemma. Thank you.
About another stock firmware
I don't have one more is it available anywhere and believe me I did the research. I think your first option is something I'll give a try but if it doesn't work I'll try the last one. Thank you very much for your time as it is much appreciated.
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here:

I have a bootloader locked ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model SM-N910A. While trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat 4.4.4, i ended up wiping the phone clean & now ODIN does not work. Got sick of trying to resurrect the phone. Since i can't root this piece-of-****, i just wanted KitKat 4.4.4 on it. Can anybody recommend me a repair shop that can restore this phone. I live in Sterling Heights, MI. After sinking $412 on this phone, I'am not willing to spend anything more than $80 on this, though.
Thanks & Regards
Cecilia

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble. but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. That said, iXDA is a global community and might not be the ideal way to find find a local repair facility in your specific area.
Good luck!

Hi Chris,
you can check this thread: [q] sph-l710t? by dev-meepo.
Seems that your device is similar to the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III (SPH-L710).
So the rooting guide of this device will work for you too: Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III > Root.
But I am not sure about that.
So best to ask in the Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or the [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. thread before.
Good luck !
This is my first post and am completely new to smart phones, and have got out of my depth. I bought a new Samsung S2 i9100 from China about 6 months ago. The GPS stopped working (something I discover from another thread here, is not uncommon), and I tried to update the firmware using Odin.
This failed and the phone is now soft bricked as I understand it, as I learnt from another thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/how-to-replace-chinese-firmware-t1192575 ) that Chinese Samsung phones cannot be flashed with European firmware.
I have looked on samsung.com and Sammobile and the original firmware is not listed anywhere (I9100ZCKG4). I have tried installing, using Odin, CWM Recovery and the stock firmware listed on samsung.com for China, but both fail.
I have read the thread on this site on this issue and following suggestions from here this takes via Chinese sites http://bbs.gfan.com/android-2099143-1-1.html and then I eventually end up at http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4920184-1-1.html where I think there is a link to the firmware I9100ZCKG4. The link takes me to http://115.com/5lb/ and neither myself of Google translate are unable to make any sense of this page, and I cannot get any further.
The other problem is that I think I enabled USB debugging before starting ,but now cannot be sure.
Maybe I have learnt and expensive lesson, but any help would be most welcome, especially if expressed in terms a beginner is likely to understand.

My Note 4 told me to do a system update, so, I did, and after about an hour of my phone flashing on and off on and off, I took it to the nearest Tmobile store and was told that, there was nothing they could do for me except sell me another phone, which I was forced to buy. So, I now have a phone I used to love, and cant use. The guy at Tmobile said that someone tried to root my phone but was unsuccessful, and only rooted it part of the way. So, now it is stuck in this half rooted mode. Is there anything I can do to recover my favorite phone? Plz help....
