I'm on a locked bootloader using a stock prerooted rom,but have unrooted using super su,should I repair to go back to stock as I want to send my device to Sony for repair or will it be ok as I have unrooted the device,any feedback would be highly appreciated,thanks

Another thread? Yes it is fine to send away. If you are that worried, flash a ftf before you send it in. Same advice you've gotten elsewhere. I once sent in my Z1 with UB and ihackers rom and custom kernel and they still fixed it.
May have a buyer for spares or repairs on it so I'll buy a new one

Hello everyone!
I need to get original GB rom to get on my p500, but my usb mass storage/debugging mode is dead, so my phone is not recognized by any computer using different cables. I have also used hardware reset and i am running out of options.
I know that KDZ updater is used for original software but is there another way to do it other than usb?
Is there any other solution?
Thanks in advance!
Can you enter recovery? If so i can get you a zip of, V20G or V20I they are stock ,but its already deodex ,apps2sd ,rooted, busybox and runparts dixda kitchen tweaks only but if you want one of those p.m. me i send you link.

Yes i can enter recovery. That would be a lot easier to get warranty. Thanks a lot i will send you a pm.
If anyone else could share a zip of stock V20x that is not rooted would be very much appriciated.

I don't know how it is in your country but in Romania by rooting a rom you already break standard warrenty.

That is the same in my country, but it is still better to have at least stock UI/rom.
Oh and i forgot i have old baseband radio. Do i need stock froyo now?
U can switch to stock froyo to convince LG to fix ur phone if it is Broken.

Mine got with ICS, but the mainboard was broken... they fixed it free
Sent from my LG-P500
In case of broken mainboards, from what i know, they can't tell if the phone had custom rom or that it was even rooted because your system partition is on that mainboard and it's not cost effective to try and salvage the system partition to prove you broke the warenty.
Stock froyo or gingerbread would not raise any suspicions at the service but then again, they can be installed only via kdz witch needs usb, the thing that is broken in your phone. From my knoledge.
Maybe after you flash the rooted froyo or gb you can unroot? Haven't tried that on flashable gb or froyo. If that would work i think you would be safe and the warenty would remain intact

i already send you link you can unroot rom after install it.
I have decided to try to flash stock froyo + stock recovery. Hopefully it will leave no trace of my custom rom and rooting activities
Searching this forum and google I have only found one flashable zip of stock froyo V10e, since almost all links are dead or threads are closed, but for my country it says V10d. Can anyone that still posesses these files, reuploads them somewhere? Since our phone is getting older, people with a problem like mine might still need them. Or this isn't really important?

Thank you, but sadly i forgot i still use old baseband radio(i went back from new because of a rom) and gingerbread probably won't work.

I337M Users just need to restore to stock 4.2.2 and get the OTA.. and then install whatever rom you like...GE 13 ETC. Also need to flash a custom kernel...
that will solve all the signal drops and lost connection.!..
it seems difficult to just flash the 4.3 modem.bin file in the Forum.. at least I couldnt get it to work,
but this way! yes,,use whatever rom you like!:good::good::good::good::good:
I think if you are on 4.3 there's no way to go back to 4.2 2...As of today

There is a reason why people like me only flash the modem.
I don't want that knox crab on my phone.
I'm sticking to modem and nonhlos flashing.
Remember if you root your new upgrade you void warranty forever ; not me because I can just Odin back to stock and sell it. With warranty

Skip non_hlos. It is directly tied to new bootloader and sound. Just like in international sgs4.
It won't help wifi, but might and in my case, lose sound. Flashing just old non_hlos does not help. You have to go back to 4.2.2 + old non_hlos to get the sound back.
In my case, my nandroid.

First of all apologies if this has been asked or spoken about before.
I want to go back to my previous firmware MJ3, after the update I feel like my Note 3 is gone it literally feels like a different phone.
I have friends with the same phone irl and they say the same thing.
And also alot of people here seems to feel the same in various threads.
The battery is drained after 1 day and before it could take up to 3 days for the battery to totally die.
Is there any way at all to downgrade or flash an older version, I would really want the previous version, I so so regret updating it to the latest.
Any good suggestions or comments will be appreciated.
Cheers.
Try factory reset it might fix it

What are you ruining now? I'm using the latest and it is just the same if not better than out the box, but I've done wipes etc after any major change.
As suggested by the first reply, try a reset.

Most probably the bootloader had been updated. .. which means you won't be able to flash older firmware now. I can get just about a day on mj7 which is good enough for me

Same here! Calibrated my Phone many times, no luck! Was already thinking of buying a new battery... I will do TOTAL wipe tomorrow, including internal sd then flash Stock MJ7 I hope it gets better.
If you update via OTA, Kies or PC Odin. Sorry you can't go back as new bootloader is not compatible with MJ3 firmware.
If you update all the while via Mobile Odin, then yes as Mobile Odin never update bootloader.
Just finished restoring all my apps and settings after a full system recovery. (couldn't wait hehe).
Will report back if I notice any significant difference in the battery life.
Btw can anyone give some advice on battery calibration?
Cheers.

Is this true? I never done ota on my note3. I rooted the phone just a week after i bought it. It was MJ1 if i'm not mistaken then flashed a costum rom using cwm. Does this mean i can flash an older firmware without worrying about soft bricking the phone?

If your phone already update to latest bootloader, it can't downgrade firmware to MJ1. I never try, but base on user report, you get bootloop only.
Mj7 is the best FW yet.
It has great kernel with battery tweaks.
Don't try to go back for older FW.
First you can't.
Second every upgrade has some fixes for more stability.
I have MJ 7. Its wonderful.
You need to di the following :
1- factory reset.
2- go to application manager and disable the unwanted Apps.
It will save your battery more coz you are not rooted so its the only way to stop and turn off some craps apps.
3- wifi:
Go to advanced options and untick the allow scanning option and put your wifi as never during sleep.
Check your battery life then.
It will be double..
I Promise.

I have an unlocked bootloader and have a custom rom installed on my XZ and I was wondering if it is possible to go back to the stock firmware that you get out of the box as I like that better.
Yes you can. You just have to use the Community Flashtool to download your firmware then you can flash yourself back to stock.
