My phone no connectivity with a PC after installing Lineage so I want to go back to the stock rom. I need it in zip so I can flash it in TWRP because an FTF would mean I had to connect the phone to PC and use flash tool (which isn't possible). Can someone point me in the direction of a stock zip? I had a look around the main forum and can't see anything. Thanks.
You can flash stock base Rom like Kryptonian. Than easily connect to pc. If u not satisfied from this rom u can flash stock via flashtool..
Thanks, I got Kryptonian from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74447468&postcount=4 then went into twrp, wipe, then installed the zip but on reboot i'm stuck on the sony logo with an orange light in the top corner. Maybe theres an issue with going from Lineage to Kryptonian, I realized afterwards in that thread you should be on stock rom before flashing Krtyptonian

Hi, new Android user here.
I was trying to root my Nexus S phone yesterday and I'm having problems. There is a lot of rooting guides out there and I used one from xda and also one from unlockr.com. Managed to root the phone ok (I think), but everytime I flash a custom ROM, the phone won't start at all, it just sits at the boot up screen and repeats itself.
So I'm thinking, I should just start over again. So I flash the stock ROM from xda back to 2.3.1. Everything seems ok, the phone starts up... but it's always stuck on airplane mode and the phone itself doesn't even show stuff like IMEI, mac address anymore.
So now I figure I've probably messed the phone up enough and need help lol. How do I go about reflashing the stock ROM and getting my Nexus back to out of the box condition (Stock ROM and no custom bootloader)?? Any guides or step by step instructions would be very helpful.
Thanks
Did you wipe before flashing roms?

Maybe flashing the KB2 modem would help that but the 9020a came stock with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.1 so that could be it...I'm not sure but that software wasn't meant at all for ours so it could be part of the problem. But if I was you I'd take a look at this thread wich has all the stock software for your phone. Make sure you wipe everything in clockework and then flash the stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13123996&postcount=39
dsixda uploaded the stock backup and the stock recovery, you can read more at that link, good luck hope it helps
You can download the full stock ROM from the link below:

Move the zip file to sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM. It should get you back to stock 2.3.4 ROM, all locked.

that did the trick. thanks everyone, now time to try rooting and flashing ROM again!
hrm lol now trying to update it to 2.3.4, it downloaded the update, but on reboot i get the white triangle with ! in it :\
this phone is so messed now
edit: well now everything is ok again, wiped data, flashed with CM7 and now it says 2.3.4, go figure.
Ok, so got my new XL today, and already want to flash it, can't stay away. lol. Used to all the steps and software and everything from my other phones, but want to go through the steps here first before I flash serajr's ROM. Read his steps, the part I'm not sure on this phone is how to get recovery on.
Ihave flash tools downloading, the current highest stock fw, and his files.
So I have to update to the latest stock first with flashtools and the ftf file.
???? Install recovery.
Flash his 2 files in recovery.
I have no problem in CWM/TRWP/AROMA scripts, etc, just not just how to get a recovery on this phone.
Also, what do I have to do with flashtool to start flashing? Is there a download mode for the XL?
Lastly, no problems flashing the latest stock overtop of the Wind mobile version? It's the C2104, but I'm on the A1 version still and Wind shows no updates available.
I got into flashmode once and now I can't again. Is it vol down and plugging in the usb at the exact time you press down?
New USB cable and a battery pull helped get me into flash mode. Got the A2 stock flashed, waiting on first boot, read it will take a long time for the first boot. Flash looked good though, no errors in flashtool. Like using Heimdall for sammy.s.
Ok, stock boots fine. Can't seem to flash a kernel with cwm. Do i need unlocked bootloaders for that?
Got the latest stock running, can't seem to flash vengence/thunderzap to get CWM.
Do I need to unlock boothloaders to flash the kernels so I have cwm so I can flash segarjr's packages, then flash the stock kernel back if I want wifi working, etc?

You will have to unlock bootloader to flash kernel.
Flash custom kernel containing CWM.
Flash your Rom.
Then again flash stock extended v2 kernel.
Done!
Always flash kernel through flashtool.
Switch off ur phone then connect to usb pressing volume up. It will enter fastboot mode and notification light will glow in blue colour.
Then flash
Done!!!!!

So I can't unlock my bootloader to flash a custom kernel. Gonna suck if there is some good dev on this phone. lol.

Oh! Very sad!!
Wait till CWM comes!
Anyway, You can root, deodex your Rom to add some mods
You can also use 'Flash Gordon' to flash anything but Rom..

Hello I have xperia miro for two years and for that time I tried A LOT of custom roms, I'm currently running cm 10 but I want to go back to stock rom. I downloaded stock rom but when I flash it via CWM I get stuck on battery charge picture so I guess I done something wrong so I flashed cm again. I've read some posts that you need to use flashtool in order to go back to stock but I never used it so can anyone help me with this?
Download flashtool ,install,folder/flashtool/firmware-in the folder copy firmware.
Run flashtool ,the phone in flashmode,flash ..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8EQmufr0lw
procedure is the same for all phones
It is important not to mistake firmware...
Download flashtool and install>download firmware(make sure it is for yours)> put firmware on c:/flashtool/firmware >open flashtool and then click flash button> flash mode >select your firmware>click flash:fingers-crossed:
Turn off your handphone. then, hold volume down button when youre trying to connect it with PC for flashing
Your post has NOTHING to do with Development so why post it there?

Hey guys,
I was previously on xtresolite 2.4 lollipop rom and saw that he had a new rom out based on Marshmellow 6.01.
The instructions for the installation the new rom said to flash the new bootloader, modem and recovery before installing the new rom.
I flashed the bootloader with Odin using the BL button as instructed and how it's stuck on the Samsung Screen. I can still boot into download mode, but that's about it. It won't let me boot into recovery. Doing a bit of research it says to boot into download warning screen and cancel. Then quickly do the recovery buttons (volup, home, power), but it still won't go in.
So now I'm stuck! i'm trying to download the new stock Marshmellow firmware to see if I can install that, but aside from that I'm not sure what else I can do.
Any suggestions? Since I'm still able to use Odin, can I try to re-install the correct bootloader or is that too late? I'm not even sure which bootloader to install now. :crying::crying::crying:
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
kc
as long as you can boot into the download mode, everything's alright. try flashing the latest stock rom for your model. then a new recovery, and then the new xtrestolite rom.
if something fails. do it again.... flash the latest stock rom, and so on.
Just make sure you have the correct model software for your phone and there won't be any issues. Did you backup your imei way back when you rooted on lollipop? If you did then everything will be fine if you didn't, Restore stock ROM and root, then backup your imei, hopefully you won't have any issues with your modem
Try pressing on power + vol down untill the phone shuts down then quickly press home+power+vol up before the phone starts . you will be in recovery try a factory reset then wait for the first boot. Voila !
hey all, just wanted to update. I still couldn't get into recovery, but was able to flash the stock rom and it's working as stock right now. Been using it for the past week or so and no major issues noted. I'm a bit scared to mess around again
Now that I'm on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom, do I still need to try and flash the modem and boot loader for it?
Also, now that i'm on stock do I need to unroot again to install the twrp recovery? or can I just go into odin and flash it right away?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions!!!

Stock rom overrides everything so your root is long gone & you now have the latest bootloader & modem already - don't stress & no need to do anything else! If you want custom recovery simply flash with latest TWRP using Odin in download mode (in tar format using AP button). Don't root with TWRP if asked to - instead download latest recovery flash-able SuperSU (ZIP) onto your device & then flash it using TWRP. This will be the safest option for you (with root if you want).
AFAIK one always uses the "AP" button if you wanna flash <anything> with Odin - not the BL button (I've never used this). The rest are for pro's only (of which I'm not one). I'm simply a regular rom flasher & read/study/compare several guides before attempting anything I've never done before with my device. If the overall feeling is not a good one, rule of thumb is I don't proceed until I feel confident enough about what I'm attempting to do.
Good luck.
On my sm-G920I
I flashed the xtresolite ROM without first flashing the bootloader and modem and it worked fine for me, if you back up everything with an otg cable onto a USB then flash the ROM everything should work fine but you will have to wait around 5 minutes for it to boot. If your still waiting after 10-20 minutes then you did something wrong and you can just wipe your entire phone then recover everything from your backup on your USB ????????
Dear xda community,
I recently have been given a gt-p5110 to play around with.
Sadly i have not succeed in flashing a rom onto it...
I have some basic knowledge on flashing rom's but so far I hadn't had much luck...
I plan on flashing slimrom7 but I can't even get a proper recovery flashed...
I have tried flashing TWRP recovery using ODIN.
Even tough it says that the recovery is flashed successfully it doesn't appear to be working...
I also tried using ADB but I couldn't maintain a stable connection...
Hopefully someone is able to help me!
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.
After flashing with Odin you need to directly boot into TWRP, else stock rom restores stock recovery at boot.
How?

Thanks for your reply,
How would I do this??
And do you know where I can find the original stock rom + recovery in case I would like to restore it to stock?
Kind regards,
Kevin Jansen.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin.
After flashing wait 1 minute.
Disconnect your tablet from PC.
Boot recovery.
That's it
Stock firmware (.tar.md5) most of the time includes stock recovery.img. the .tar.md5 can be flashed with odin too.
you should find stock firmware here for your Device: http://samsung-updates.com
