Sorry, I'm new to this so sorry if this seems dumb.
So i bought the phone from rogers and immediately updated to froyo 2.2 official release by rogers/samsung.
I read about all the hype online about rooting and custom roms so i decided to give it a shot.
I used the superoneclick method to root my phone and it was successful.
I then used "rom manager - clockworkmod" and created a restore file before i did any flashing to my phone.
after creating a backup, i went on and flashed to the cognition 3.04.
Now my question is. Am i ever able to get my phone back to its original rom, kernel, and modem? the reason i want to know is because i might need to get my phone replaced due to some technical issues with the phone.
Also, does the backup of my phone after rooting play a part in any of this? if so, how?
Im sorry if there is already a post like this one. Its just that i couldn't find the answer through all the hundreds of pages of threads and replies, so I thought it would be easier to post a here with my specific question. Thanks.
regards,
danny

It guides you through the process of going back to a stock ROM. Btw, I've used it and it works.
Good Luck!!

Thanks for that. Do you think Odin is the only way to do it or do you think i can use clockworkmod

Do I not use that link in general, or just not to use the firmware given at the bottom? the steps are correct though, no?
also from my searching.
i can put my phone back to my backup point (just after rooting) through clockworkmod. Woud this change my rom back to stock from? how about kernel and modem and all that? would that all get reversed back to my backup point? meaning it will basically be a stock phone. But I think also read somewhere that my kernel and modem does not get changed back to rogers original one. is there a way to do it?
I then found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846501
that says i need the original rogers rom for the captivate by the links there no longer work for download. Also on that thread, it was mentioned that the AT&T logo will still come up on startup, which would not be a good idea if i had to send my phone in for warrenty.
I then looked at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I896
Here it tells me to flash to a i9000 before i reflash to a rogers firmware in order to remove the at&t logo. it also provides me with a link for the " Official Rogers Stock ROM ", but according to somebody on the first link i posted here, it isnt the "official rom"
Any ideas?
This is where I got the stock 2.2 file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905042.
Edit: I have flashed a bunch of times and have never got stuck with the AT&T startup after flashing back to stock with the odin file.

If you use the odin file the kernal and modem will revert back to stock.

Thanks. So im assuming now that the only time my kernel and modem wont go back to stock is when i flash with CWM. correct?
I haven't tried using the CWM file in that link so I'm not sure if it contains the kernel and modem. As far as custom roms go most if not all come packaged with the kernel and modem of choice.
So.. When I do a "master clear" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989...
Would everything be wiped? I read somewhere that when you do a "wipe" from your settings it only clears user settings or something. What would a "wipe"
from the recovery menu do?
I flashed to a different rom today thinking it will help my battery issue. When i am flashing from one rom to the next, i do a restore back to my backup before i flash to a new rom. Is this the correct method? or am i supposed to wipe beforehand? The reason i ask is because this is my 2nd rom and my battery issue still seems to be there. I tried other methods of fixing hte battery but nothign seems to work. When i looked into root explorer, i see that there are a lot more files now everywhere, than when i first started. would some of them be from my previous rom? if so how do i remove them?
I have jailbroken many an iphone and ipod, and I have recently bought the S6. I am keen to root but it seems far more potentially troublsome, and far less straightforward, or maybe its just because I am learning for the first time.
I bought this in New Zealand from Spark. I assume it is locked?
Is the bootloader locked?
I couldnt find the matching build on Chainfire, Can this particular model be rooted?
Is there any guide to rooting? It seems all the information is spread out all over the place and no definitive guide and FAQ.
I can't even find the original stock rom.
Is rooting not similar to jailbreaking in the way it is done?
My specs:
Model: SM-G920I
Android: 5.0.2
Build: LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOD1
Thank you in advance.

I have the SM-G920I and it's rooted.
Rooting the G920I is apparently not as straightforward as others but still possible.
I had to flash TWRP via Odin, then flash the [BETA][2015.04.28] SuperSU v2.49 package via recovery.
Details when I get back from work, or some kind soul decides to help.
There is a stock image thread and a few stock roms floating around. Request / search lower down in that thread
Thanks, is it better to reset the s6 before rooting? For a clean root?
And about all the warnings about 'you do this at your own risk blah blah'. If you do everything properly how could you actually hard brick the device? If you do it properly the worst that should happen is a soft brick, in which case you just restore the phone and try again right?

Here is my experience, a fellow kiwi on Spark (with a 2D branded phone). I too have the 920I running on A0D1 via OTA.
It is unlikely Spark firmwares have locked bootloaders.
So long as you can get to download mode (holding volume down, home and the power button for up to 10 seconds), you can bring your phone back to life if something goes wrong . You will want a copy of Spark's firmware handy before you start, you can get it from here . Just in case.
Use the USB cable that come with your phone and make sure you have the drivers installed.
Any ways, first I flashed TWRP via Odin (through download mode Andy), flash was successful, however booting into recovery hung my phone. Managed to get back to download mode from there and flashed CF-Root for 920I. Boot loop.
Back to download mode and flashed CF-Root for 920F. Success, rooted and booted. Andy, if all you are looking for is root, avoiding the TWRP flash may work and going straight to CF-Root. Others have had issues with this, I'm not sure. I'd try the 920I first and if no good try the 920F. Again, as long as you can get to download mode, you can flash Sparks firmware through Odin to restore it to stock. Good luck and remember, attempting any of this WILL trip KNOX. If your using this as a company phone, you will run into issues. Can't imagine we will see Samsung pay any time soon in NZ.
For those interested in TWRP, after the root was obtained, my recovery was still busted. I flashed the TWRP image via Flashify and now I have also have TWRP. Good times.
Thanks mate, it all seems quite confusing, makes me want to go back to Iphone hahaha. I am not a dev, I just like the freedom to be able to do whatever I damn well please on my phone that I paid for.
This tutorial the way to go?

What the chap did in that video was exactly what my original plan was to root and install TWRP. Where I got stuck is the TWRP recovery hung so I couldn't flash SuperSU. Good run down of the basics of flashing with Odin though.
What I did after the recovery got stuck was return to download mode and flash CF-Root again through Odin (same process as in the video). The one for the 920I didn't actually work (boot loop), the 920F CF-Root worked fine though. Probably has something to do with these CF-Roots having been build on a older firmware as you noted in your OP. Then, once you have root, you can flash a custom recovery (such as TWRP) through Flashify (available on Play Store).
It certainly can be confusing with all the trial and error reported in these forums, this is largely because the devices are new. The Devs' will iron out the bugs in due course making the process much simpler. You could wait a few weeks and check back, or grab yourself a stock Spark firmware and have a crack. Flashing this trough Odin will return you to stock provided you can get your phone to download mode. No responsibility from my end.
Another thing, you will lose OTA updates. You will find newer firmwares here as they get released, to update its as simple as flashing them through Odin.
Yes the G920I listed on Chainfires site is for the AOC6 build, but I am on the AOD1 build.
Another thing, should i factory reset before rooting?

Nah, don't bother. The process will retain all your settings and data too.
So just confirm that i can root my g920I with build AOD1 with this meathod?

So were you able to install TWRP?
CF Root works for me with 920I version, but flashing TWRP forces it not to boot past the Samsung Logo.
Likewise with flashing a custom kernel also forces it not to boot past the Samsung Logo
Im on the C4 Australia build.. thinking about trying to flash a later 920I build to see if it'll help

Yeah flash the New Zealand 1D firmware and TWRP will work perfectly. But note that to get root, you will have to use cf-auto-root for the 920G Model

Doesn't have to be the New Zealand one, I just used it since I'm in Australia. Any 920I firmware should work just make sure it's at least 1D. I only tried those firmwares, and always had success

Hi,
A couple of years ago I bought my HTC One m8 via eBay. It did say it was a VZW one, but me not being a US citizen nor living in the US, it didn't set off any alarm for me...
And so it took me by surprise that I am unable to tether my internet connection via bluetooth nor wifi, and that VZW went the extra mile to disable the FM receiver. Further more, living outside the US, I'm still running the Kitkat version, since no OTA update can reach me
And now to my actual question - I have bought a sunshine licence and got it running but I am not sure what are the next steps. My goal is to get the regular stock ROM (perhaps still rooted), so ill be able to enjoy FM, tethering and regular updates.
I'll much appreciate your help, and though I'm sure this kind of question has already been asked, I was unable to find it.
Thanks,
Saar.

If you are on KitKat you can get S-OFF using sunshine.
If you already bought a license then you may already be S-OFF. Check in bootloader. Power down device. Then turn back on using volume down + power to check in bootloader.
If you are S-OFF you can update to latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and flash a stock rooted ROM to enable tethering.
You could flash the RUU or flash firmware + ROM.

I'm also unable to connect to the LTE network, so I'm on 3G. What should I be looking for, if I want an RUU (I'm a total noob around the whole flashing and ROMing territory... seems to me the RUU is the "safer" bet), FM, tethring, LTE, and preferably staying with Sense? I read a bit about the GPe port, but I guess it wouldn't have Sense.

I'm not sure about LTE, as you're not on Verizon network.
but GPe ROM is great now that we have the Marshmallow firmware.
FM Radio was removed from Verizon devices, but great Devs have gotten it working again I do believe.
Anyway, IF you are S-OFF, which you haven't confirmed yet, but I am going to assume you are, as if you aren't you shouldn't have any issues getting to S-OFF (and for $25 it's very much worth it).
Ok, once you are confirmed S-OFF, you want to flash the new MM firmware.
This can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62734094&postcount=2
flash this one:
"6.21.605.3_FULL_firmware.zip"
You will need an SD-Card or know how to use adb - guide will be in thread I linked above.
After you are on the latest firmware, you want to fastboot flash the latest TWRP custom recovery found here:

This is because you only flashed the Marshmallow firmware, but are not on a Marshmallow ROM.
You want to hold volume up + volume down + power for about 10-15 seconds, the phone will reboot, let go of all except volume down, this will get you back into bootloader.
Now you will need to flash the TWRP custom recovery I linked to you above.
Then in TWRP recovery you will flash the Marshmallow ROM of your choice.
There are a number of great ROMs out that support Marshmallow, and I'll be kind enough to link you all of them.
Lyapota Jazz #10 Marshmallow - SENSE ROM
- Lyapota is one of the nicest and smartest Developers.
-- his MODs are found in many many ROMs, including mine, he used to put out MOD Packs, but now he releases ROMs, and they are top notch, I highly suggest one of these
Lyapota Blues #021 Marshmallow - Google Play Edition ROM
- again one of the best ROMs you can flash, this one is Google Play Edition, the one above this is Sense.
Google Play Edition Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58K.H10
- stock based ROM ported from the HTC One M8 Google Play Edition Phone with Verizon support.
Pure Stock Verizon Marshmallow ROM
- stock pure ROM made from the latest Verizon Marshmallow OTA
-- the best choice if you want something stock
ViperOne Marshmallow
- one of the most customization Sense ROMs ever made.
-- also is very stable, but this has basically every tweak you can dream or think of, worth messing around with.

I need more info, how are you flashing the ROM. is it saying successful after flashing, which ROM are you flashing? are you wiping before?
I just put the rom onto a sdcard, find the rom on sdcard in TWRP, wipe and flash.
as long as you are on the correct MM firmware, and one of the linked MM ROMs there won't be any issue.
I've tested each ROM I posted for you to make sure to run into as little issues as possible.
that or you can always flash the RUU

I really appreciate your help!
Thats the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/rom-vzw-stock-gpe-5-1-lmy47o-h9-t3212413
Does it matter if I put it on the internal or external storage?
It says everything was ok as far as the installation is concerned, but says "Failed to mount '/carrier' (Invalid argument" and "Failed to mount '/reserver' (Invalid argument"

i read online this error has something to do with the TWRP version, so i downgraded and it went away...
any how, I tried another ROM first, (dont remember which one now) and it seemed to work. It booted, asked me a couple of questions, and then went crazy, so I wiped it.
But now i cant seem to be able to copy the lypota zip to the SD card. Windows says it seems as if the device is unplugged or unresponsive... I made sure to wipe beforehand, but no luck.

You want the latest TWRP3.0.0
If you can't figure out how to flash ROM, ID suggest running the RUU so you at least have a working device.
:good:
OK.
So I switched back to the latest TWRP, and was able to upload lyapota's ROM and flash - and finally it worked!!!!! ? I'm not sure what the problem was with previous ROMs, but I'm happy it finally worked out.
Walking to University, listening to live FM radio and being able to share my mobile data with my tablet... Finally I got what I paid for.
Thank you!

Hello, I purchased a new SM-G900P off ebay out of China which came rooted with KitKat installed. I can only assume they put this ROM on to make it universal. It's worked well in general, but I have been having some annoyances with it lately, particularly when related to roaming and some chinese characters that just persist (the CSC codes are CHN and TGY). I would like to upgrade to Lollipop and install one of the custom ROMs that look to be awesome.
My question is: how do I deal with this phone? I can't tell if a recovery is already installed. Can I wipe the phone and upgrade to Lollipop? Should I remove and re-initiate the root access? I am new to android but I've done a ton of reading and I'm quite tech savvy, so if someone can point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative!!
Bump. Even someone pointing me to a link as a starting point would be really helpful!
Cheers.
I'd use Odin to flash to a lollipop/mm stock image. And reroot/install a custom recovery yourself and start completely fresh.
i agree with @InsanePostman. If its an actual g900p (i only say it that way because some chinese products can be cleverly made knock-offs) then get the OK4 tar.md5 and Odin and flash the tar.md5 in the AP slot of odin.
Stock OK4 image
Odin
heres a good thread on a different site showing how to use odin to flash a stock image
and chainfires autoroot
Thanks guys, I'm going to give this a shot tonight. I have confirmed it is a genuine g900p so I'll start with flashing a stock image. Is there some way I can backup my current ROM should anything go wrong I can restore to that?
Install twrp and make a backup. Otherwise as long as you can get to download mode, then you always fine barring the lack of computer or tarball

Just wanted to say thanks, this worked great! Nice to have Lollipop installed now. I'm in Canada and with this stock Sprint ROM I might look at installing some of the custom ROMs instead to get rid of the SPRINT apps and stuff. Thanks again for the support!
Right on man! Be sure to hit the thanks button when people helped!!

Oh, and moar 7.0 is a great touchwiz ROM btw
Flash with TWRP, choose one or the other.
H91020i_rooted.zip
You probably want this one. It is stock with the following modifications:
engineering bootloader (aboot)
TWRP 3.5.2_9-0 (recovery)
mk2000 kernel, Magisk v23.0 patched (boot)
hidden bootloader warning (raw_resources)
H91020i_stock.zip
Lose root, revert to stock. After installing, shut the phone off and then do a factory reset.
Lol, thanks for the package. It works just like h91020h, only slightly newer, but i don't have to do the kernel, twrp, or the fixed boot graphic. I can just install this, and debloat.
Works great, installed it with latest TWRP on nougat firmware (initially rooted using dirtysanta)
twrp-3.6.1_9-0-h910.img
H91020i_rooted.zip
Auto_Debloat 2.1
mk2000 2.3 beta 1 kernel
Magisk-v24.3 - Rename .apk to .zip or not, worked both ways in TWRP
Loving it, flashing other mods now like gps, high imp., quad dac mod, etc...

Howdy!
Sorry to be asking, but I'm trying this after having been on LOS for ages since I need VoLTE access. After flashing this, I get no service of any sort. Keeps trying to connect, never actually connects. My IMEI is still correct, I've sent my old modem files through fastboot, I've flashed 910 Oreo modem images, no dice.
Any ideas as to what I'm missing in this process? 910 on AT&T, USA, thanks much for your time!

I really appreciate the super comprehensive reply, thanks so much! It was on the carrier's end, it was just a strange case of timing, a worsening of the AT&T nonsense that got me to switch back to Oreo in the first place.
Thank you!
I flashed the rooted zip from this thread after fallowing this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...irtysanta-most-variants-noobfriendly.3722278/ now the phone only boots the Fastboot. Oddly it even goes to fast mode when I try to enter TWRP it even still makes you choose yes twice like normal but instead of twrp I get fastboot.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction?
Something went wrong, you need to verify you can go into download mode and flash stock kdz and start from there....
[ROOT] HOWTO: AT&T H910 up to v20g (FULLY TESTED)
***WARNING*** This is ONLY for the H910. If you flash H915 firmware on an H918 -- you WILL brick it. If you are currently on Oreo, you can root your phone, but you CAN NOT keep Oreo - for now. This will downgrade you back to Nougat, which is...
forum.xda-developers.com
I formatted data/ and flashed H91020i_rooted.zip onto my H910 (rooted with DirtySanta and flashed to H91020h_Oreo_full_rooted.zip approximately 2.5 years ago). It appeared to work, but it looks like I lost root... whenever I try to do something that requires root, I get "Unfortunately, Magisk has stopped" as soon as the app tries to become root.
Any ideas what to try next?
so could this be used after the root procedure here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-howto-at-t-h910-up-to-v20g-fully-tested.3664500/ ? Because the full stock 910r package used there is no longer available
