Good Evening,
AT&T LG G2 rooted, TWRP. Have installed a few different roms but mostly used PA. All of a sudden the phone started experiencing issues with cell Data. So I did a clean install of PA and then had issues with BT, did another clean install and had issues with Wifi.
So I decided ok maybe its time to go back to stock. Hook it up to a win7 computer... Device manager doesn't see it at all (doesn't show up AT ALL). Says charging and that is it, does not recognize that it is hooked up to a computer. Have tried several different computers now and several different USB cables. The only way I could try other roms was downloading via wifi. Tried a stock rom and still experiencing issues.
I think there is something wrong with the phone so I want to get it warrantied, but without hooking it up to a computer I can not figure out any way to remove the custom recovery or revert it to stock.No matter what I do no computer will even recognize the phone is connected, let alone trying to install drivers. Device manager just straight up does not see it.
Any help or suggestions is GREATLY appreciated. Any way to remove recovery/root without a PC connection?
UPDATE: Here was my solution
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
(make sure you are stock rom or on a stock rooted rom before proceeding)
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime...10B_Partitions
Then download/open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then
cd /sdcard/downloads
Then
dd if=/sdcard/downloads/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom.
If you are planning on getting warranty you need to use download mode and the back to stock guide also that is the best way to flash to stock and get rid of problems

Agreed, problem is the computer will not see the phone, so I can't use the program to flash it back to stock.
It's not just a driver or com issue, the computer does not see it AT ALL. Device manager doesn't see a new device when I plug it in (in OS, in Download mode, nothing).

Have you tried different usb ports also very important are you using original cable that came with the phone in my case if I try many of the different cables I have, only the stock one works for download mode

Different usb ports, different computers, different cables (stock one included). No luck. Phone says download mode then goes to "firmware update" and says at the bottom B53 then "ROOTED" in red letters. Nothing appears in device manager.
In android regarless of rom if I plug it in it doesn't act like I plugged it in to a computer, just charging. Again nothing in device manager regardless of USB debugging or not.
currently have twrp 2.6.3.3, running D80210b 4.2.2, with baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034
What I really need to know is if there is any way to restore stock recovery and remove root without using that method (ie using Terminal Commands or flashing a package, since I can download via wifi).
I am pretty sure this phone has a messed up USB port, but I don't really want to send it in with it rooted/twrp on it .

Did you try restore & reset functionality on the phone? I had somewhat similar issue with the plug & pop feature (although my laptop recognized the phone under Devices & Printer but it didn't show it as a separate drive) when I flashed CM11 but then I did a full factory reset, everything goes back to normal. Also you might try uninstall LG driver and reinstall it. Hope this help.

Unfortunately it is not a driver issue, it doesn't show up in device manager at all, on several machines.
I have tried multiple different roms, factory rests, even tried ADB sideloading, no luck.
i remember there's this app called Auto Rec that has an option to unroot the device or something like that.
Took some work but I figured out a way to do it in case anyone else ever runs in to this:
First download the stock recovery.img on the device.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/10B_Partitions
Then download/open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
Then

That replaces TWRP/CWM with the stock recovery.
Then open supersu, go to settings, towards the bottom is full unroot.
Yay no more custom recovery or root on stock rom. (this was after flashing a rooted stock rom by downloading it on the device itself since I had no USB).

So did this worked for you? And what about your warranty?
I have an issue with the vibration and I am thinking of going to stock and send my G2 to LG.

It worked perfectly and I got the phone exchanged without any hassle, but if your USB is working there are plenty of better ways to return to stock. This was an option I had to use because of USB not functioning. I mean this would allow you to unroot without wiping/restoring but if your going to send the phone in anyway you might as well wipe it as well.

I understand and thank you for the reply.
I am a bit afraid of the other methods I saw and this one seems easier
I have a question if you can answer to me.
I restored the official rom from TWRP and did all the process you wrote. Is there any way to check if now I have the stock recovery?
And to see if I am now ready to send my phone to LG?
P.S. "I will hit the thanks button tomorrow because I have reached the limit of 8 thanks per day "

Just reboot to recovery, you should get the stock LG recovery instead of TWRP. If you unrooted as well, you are good go. Glad I could help! No worries on the thanks .

When I am going to recovery, appears the Factory hard reset option.
I did it and it shows up again when I am trying to boot to recovery.
Again thank you for your replies and the time you spend. :highfive:

Awesome sounds like you got it. :good:
So I have to congratulate and thank once more this man @crawlgsx for this great thread.
It worked on my D802 (international model) and got it repaired by the official service center of LG in Greece.
Great work, with no need of PC and difficult processes.
Noob question, but will this allow users to take OTA updates? Running stock rooted right now and really don't want revert to stock to get latest ota, but this seems pretty seamless. Thanks.

I believe that in order to take OTAs you must be on stock rom and stock recovery. Be rooted will not be a problem if you have these stock but when OTA installed you will lose root access.
If I am wrong, correct me someone.
Hi
Sorry to bump this thread but I need to unroot my AT&T G2 800 so get the warranty.. I had taken the stock backup using twrp.
Can I restore the restore it using twrp ? and do i need to install Terminal emulator on my restored stock rom and then do the commands ?
Are there any chances of bricking the phone ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. So I'm new to rooting and new to xda, I looked around the forums a bit but am unable to find exactly what I'm looking for. I have a Sprint note 3 smn900p. I successfully rooted it using towelroot and confirmed with root checker. I then downloaded Rom manager and used it to download cwm. Here is where I need help, I boot up my phone and this is what I get. (Volume down, home button, and power)
Odin mode
Smn900p
Samsung official
0x0
0x1 (towelroot did not trip this, it was either RM or CWM)
Qualcom secure boot enable (csb)
Rp swrev s1 t1 a1 a3 p1
Write protection enable
Udc start
At the bottom it says "downloading" and "do not turn off target"
That's where it stays and the only way to get rid of it is to do a battery pull.
Now if I hold volume up, home button, and power this is what it says.
Recovery booting
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit enforcing.
Phone then starts up normally.
I am trying to do all of this without a computer because I don't always have access but any help at all is appreciated. The main reason I am rooting is to get free wifi tethering for my note 10.1 and after that possibly getting rid of the bloatware and overclocking the cpu.
Again thanks to all the developers and anyone else who makes this possible. You guys (and girls) rock!

You use Volume DOWN+Home+power button to flash firmware by USB using Odin program or restore original firmware using Samsung Kies.
The only way you can exit the Odin mode is remove the battery or after having successfully flash a firmware.
You use Volume UP+Home+power button to enter recovery mode. In recovery, you may be able to perform:
- backup of the entire OS and data of the phone.
- recover from a backup in case you encounter any problem flashing a custom rom, etc.
- perform a full wipe or factory reset
- install custom rom or firmware file saved on phone memory or external SD card.
You may use ROM toolbox to remove unwanted bloatware and overclock or underclock your device.
Please hit thanks if I helped.
But isn't it possible to flash roms/kernels using just your phone? Also when I do hit volume down home and power shouldn't I at least have options from my phone on what to do next, and shouldn't it say something about using cwm? Btw Thanks for the quick reply!
Did you install CWM?

It's not clear from your post whether your really installed CWM recovery. Use Odin (download mode) to flash tar.gz version of CWM (or TWRP). Search for the links yourself. Then you can enter CWM with vol up+home+power combo.
There on, you can flash any (other) recovery or ROM from phone itself via CWM (or TWRP or Philz).

Yeah, it is possible to flash ROM using your phone memory or external SD card thru Recovery mode (Vol UP+Home+Power).
I suggest you use [root] Mobile Odin Pro (this can be downloaded on play store) if you want to flash kernel/ROM without going to recovery mode. It is also safer to use than flashing in download mode.
For a more user friendly recovery, try using Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP).
It is touch-based recovery. Easier to use.
Please hit thanks if I helped.
Ok so I'm going to download twrp, if I did in fact download cwm will these interfere with each other. Also once I download twrp do I have to open it on my phone or just flash it through recovery mode or through mobile Odin pro. (Sorry for the basic, probably stupid questions)

I flash mine using mobile odin. It will replace CWM.
Download the TAR file save it on your external SD.
Open odin.
Grant superuser request
Open file...
Select TAR file
Flash firmware
Your phone will reboot in recovery.
Ok so I bought Mobile odin pro from the play store now if I want to flash a Kernel to my device I would need to find it on here and then download it correct or I could find a rom with the kernel already on it and flash the whole thing and would I be able to find it on mobile odin or rom toolbox? Thanks again you guys are so helpful taking it baby steps with me.
What I meant on my previous post was I flash my recovery which is TWRP using mobile odin.
I suggest you flash TWRP recovery first using odin. Perform backup in TWRP before flashing any ROM in case anything goes wrong, you may be able to go back to the original state of your device.

defiantly follow the previous reply and backup first (very important).
i personally dont download roms etc from apps. i prefer to find it manually on the forum, so you know you have the correct, most up to date file for your device. also, you can read other users post to get an idea of how its working and the possible problems with it.
Ok sorry I took soo long to respond, work has been busy. So I Bought Wifi Tether Router for $2.50 which is still better than 10 extra dollars a month. It works, granted it takes a long time to start up and im not using the stock tether that is included with the phone which would have been great but it gets the job done and I have no complaints. This was one of the main reasons I wanted to root my phone. Anyway I guess when I have some more time to mess with it I will try flashing roms/kernels (I am just soo afraid of hard bricking my phone) but you guys gave some pretty clear instructions so I don't think I'll have a problem. As soon as I get a chance to do some messing around I will let you guys know how it went. Thanks again hopefully one day I will be able to return the favor.
Ok just double checked and now I need to ask another question. Mobile Odin states that my reactivation lock needs to be turned off but when I go to settings, general, security, there is no option to turn it off. It doesn't even show it in the list. Do I absolutely need to turn it off, would it be somewhere else?

i don't know. i looked into it and it appears it should be under security, but that was on a s5. maybe your device doesn't have that option.
Do you know what would happen if I backup or flash a rom and the reactivation lock is enabled?

i dont know exactly, but through some research it looks like you could run into issues with a custom recovery. i can only assume a rom would be the same.
That really sucks, I'm gonna try and hopefully find a way around it but until then I guess I'm gonna have to wait. Would you happen to know how to check and see if it's activated? (Besides the normal spot in security that it should be)

sorry, i don't know. i had to google search to find the previous information.
What device do you use? Have you enabled this feature (reactivation lock) before? I've made a research that this is an anti-theft feature of galaxy s5 and note 3 which prevents fatory reset of the phone using your samsung acccount when stolen.
I think you don't need to worry about disabling this feature if you never enabled it. I'm using galaxy s3 international version (i9300). And I also don't have this feature. Mobile odin is only reminding you that you should disable reactivation lock (in case you have one) before flashing any rom.
I "guess" reactivation lock enabled will prevent you to format certain partition in your phone since it will be password protected.
I suggest that you use TWRP or CWM when flashing ROMs that are not touchwiz based (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, etc). I only use Mobile odin when flashing recovery and flashing stock firmware. Flashing custom ROMs other than stock, in my opinion, will be safer if you do it in recovery after a backup.
I hope I answered your question.
I have a rooted StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III (with the stock AOSP ROM) that I just screwed up. I had used EZ-Recovery to flash TWRP 2.2.0 to the phone. Now TWRP says there is no OS! I can only boot into TWRP - nothing else. It won't even let me power-down the phone. Is there some way I can recover from this, or do I now have a very expensive electronic brick (that runs TWRP)? I have adb installed on my laptop and I know it works, so that's one possible route to recovery. Any help would be much appreciated!

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

In that thread go down to method 2 of getting a custom recovery. I downloaded cwm touch from the link there and then installed it with android terminal emulator using the codes that it says to type in. I tried to look up that stock rom but I didnt find it. Its on the forum somewhere in a thread about how to root the straight talk s3 and how first you need to download and flash the h1 baseband stock rom

Have you gotten recovery installed and straightened out yet?
Let me know if you need some help, tell me where you're at and what you've got going on with what you have.

Are you on stock not rooted or you are rooted?
Do you have stock recovery or custom.
I can get you to wherever you need or want. Tell me what you need or where you'd like to be.

I can get you to wherever you need or want. Tell me what you need or where you'd like to be.

I have combined 2 s3's to make one good one. This is the proper thread for the model of the chipset. The phone has been worked on buy someone who only thought they were a genious. I've found traces and from surfing the forums I'm pretty sure I know what they did even. I'm gonna grab these stock images and flash back to stock. I just wanted to put a word in now to see how dead this thread is. BTW just for the record easy safe root is achievable with safroot for Att g s 4. I've confirmed that. Root is no issue. Modem drivers are jacked up. I want what I have now with WiFi in tact and custom recovery. Just wanted to get the word in in case I hit a wall with recovery as I am now before the flash to stock. Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for the ramble

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

Does anyone have a good link for h1 stock. All the links I can find including aa51 are dead. I need to go stock to fix the modem. I can handle everything from there I just need stock and I've trolled XDA , aa51, and several others. All links are dead. Probably for a long long time . any help is greatly appreciated

Hi friends,
I installed CM10.2 on my galaxy S2 using CM installer and now I want to return back to the original rom from samsung. can you please tell me how to do it.. I read about using some software called odin but my device is not connecting to it. I do not know what the problem is. Can I simply download the samsung rom and install it using recovery option?
Guys... can anyone help me with this...?
your phone needs to be in recovery mode before you can use odin.
see guide(s) in the respective threads

I connected it in Download mode but it was not connecting. I dont know why... is there any other way leaving odin thing out...
Trying to figure out for the life of me how to root.
On odin I get stuck at get pit mapping.
Tried numerous ways and apps too root, nothing.
I don't know what else to do.
Tried different computer.
My oem usb broke bought another one.:crying:
Don't know if that's the problem.
Never had a problem flashing custom recovery to any Samsung device before.
Couldn't find ways to downgrade.
Oem and debugging shows unlocked.
What do I Do?
Plz help.

I get stuck at "get pit mapping" with everything I try to flash with odin.
Back in the day when I first rooted this device on Marshmallow I just used this simple YouTube tutorial. Does it not work on 7.0?
EDIT: If not the same guy has a video for 7.0 as well, but it roots with Magisk(instead of SuperSU), which I personally don't like.

Some simple things you can try that I saw worked for others with this issue on XDA:
1) MAKE sure your Odin is up to date.
2) Try a different USB slot.
3) Try a different USB cord.
4) Some even had luck bypassing this issue by running Odin on a Windows Virtual Machine.
There are also many other threads like THIS out there on XDA that you can search for answers.

Don't root with odin. Install twrp recovery and flash the magisk or super user zip. If you can't flash anything you need to reinstall samsung usb drivers. And I don't mean auto install via Windows I mean download the exe manually. And get the right twrp. Google twrp and your device name. I've never had this issue
