Hello guys I was recently trying to factory reset and remove root on my galaxy s7 with kies 3 and smart switch but the option to do it was completely removed, is there any other way to do that?
Tried flashing a stock ROM with Odin and performing a factory reset from stock recovery?

Do you know where I can get the latest stock ROM? also would that remove TWRP?
Stock firmware is on sammobile.com and flashing the stock ROM will remove twrp.

One little thing : Check Home CSC if you want to keep your data, if you want a full wipe select CSXX..

I have flashed multiple roms on the phone, still the same error, could you please suggest further steps?
The phone had been sent to get the simlock removed, once I got back I performed a wipe to remove all personal data. since that time it's not booting at all.
I can turn into download mode and flash anything, but cannot enter to recovery, I got the notification "ramdump mode (arm9 mode)"
Thx in advance for any help.

Deleted....sorry I was on another thread and thinking confused. If you want to flash back to stock factory file give me a second see if I can find the tar file for you.
buhohitr said:
This is the original firmware and you must flash it using ODIN. This include rom/bootloader/modem/kernel (everything), it will also wipe your twrp recovery also. After flashed this it will bring your phone back to factory stock. If you're thinking something else don't flash it and just post what you want and people here can help.

yes thats what i am looking for the stock rom..but this link is way to small for that and also, I opened it up and it didnt have the tar file in there..Im assuming this link was like a firmware update instead...

OK, here is the full firmware, unzip then flash with ODIN. This included rom/bootloader/modem/kernel(everything). This will bring back to factory stock rom.

If you already have strong signal and no issue with data drop, then you don't need to upgrade, otherwise yes you could upgrade and possible it may cure your poor signal...hopefully. In my case, this new radio did nothing to my phone signal.
a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want
im not responsible for any bricks
thank you...

Your welcome!
Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

So i need to unroot it as well ? Anyway flashed via odin original stock russian lollipop rom just to check for any update and the flashed twrp and rooted it back. Just that it takes 10 mins or more to do all this. Thought your small flash file would work .

I just bought an N920T, and it came with A0GE on it, but i intend to flash DARTHSTALKER v4 on it, which is COI5.
do i need to do anything special (Such as flashing stock COI5) first?
i notice @TEKHD recommends doing that for his rom:

STEP -2 - Make sure you are already on STOCK LOLLIPOP COI5 BASEBAND/MODEM/KERNEL... if not, Install this FIRMWARE FIRST VIA ODIN!

Yes that's the way to do it, but make sure you go into
recovery mode first and do a factory reset before you
odin flash and make sure you are using Odin v3.10.7
Good luck,
Have a great day!
greaT it's bootlooping.
i did just as you said; factory reset in the recoery, and then flashed the N920TUVU2COI5_N920TTMB2COI5_N920TUVU2COI5_HOME.tar
i don't even know how to stop it from BL'ing because it has not a removable battery.
can you help?
wdkingery said:
ANSWER:
volume up+home+power to download mode, let whatever happen happen, then scroll down to wipe data/ factory reset. do that, won't bootloop after that

hey all, im new here and i am new to the whole phone fixing thing. my stepmoms galaxy a505w had recently gotten the new android 11 update but after it updated, it completley got stuck in a boot loop on the galaxy A50 boot screen. at first it wasnt even going into recovery mode. only download mode and the boot loop screen. but then i got the stock firmware for it and flashed it with odin 3.13.3 and now i have a recovery mode now. so far nothing has worked. facotry reset? nope. resetting cache? nope. reflashing the stock firmware? also nope. im not sure what to do at this point. i tried going to samsung, but the 1 yr manufacturers warranty is out now. anything helps.
thanks - Muppypup
