Hello xda Community, My Girlfreind has the Samsung Wave and a while back a file got deleted which should'nt have, after that it would boot up to a blue screen stating there was an error with a missing file and would not go any further, she then got one of her freinds to flash the phone to a new rom "BADA" think its the 1st version, but ever since shes had this rom she gets really bad signal, No internet, no Camera, no alarm clock e.t.c. Im just woundering is there anyway to get the phone back to the "Original" rom that it would have come out of the Factory on, ive tried doing a hard reset but does not get rid of the new rom. Or is there another ROM that you lot could suggest i flash it to? Go easy with the answers as im not clued up about Flashing mobiles or ROM's.
Cheers!
Hi guys,
Recently the vibration feature on my Triumph stopped working, and i am thinking of sending in for warranty exchange. However, the phone is rooted and has a different recovery and rom than stock. Do I need to completely restore to bone stock before sending it in to Virgin Mobile, or do they even care? If so, can someone give me some hints on how to restore everything?

I've read that people say they have returned their phones to VM rooted and with custom roms and they've never heard anything from VM regarding that.
However, to be safe, I would at least put the stock rom back on there. You can flash this one from b_randon14 if you don't have a backup:

If you want to also put back the stock recovery, you can flash the stock recovery zip at the end of this post after you flash the stock rom above:

Thanks for the info and the links! I think i might just put the stock rom back on it and be done with it.
yeah wanting to do the same myself! ready to trade into that evo!
I was having the roaming issue after flashing to a MIUI ROM so I tried as hard as I could to try and figure out the guide to fixing it but nothing worked. I was planning on playing dumb with Verizon and telling them I just won't turn on. Well on my way out to the car to go I was just finishing up a ODIN flash back to stock and my phone slid off the keyboard hit the ground and shattered. Just my luck right? Anyway, I got the normal "it was probably because you dropped it" talk and there was nothing they could do.
My question to you is, what do I do? I have flashed many different copies of the original ODIN and I still got nothing just bootloops.
Note: it was happening before I dropped it so dropping it did not affect it.
Thanks to anyone who can help fix my $500 off contract paperweight...

Hi all,
I've just bought a new SII Skyrocket to replace my Motorola Bravo -- the bravo was terrible purchase and though the Skyrocket is a two year-old phone I consider this a big step up.
I bought the phone on eBay and it was advertised as new. It arrived in its original packaging with the security seal intact, so I have no reason to doubt this. The phone is running ICS (4.0.4 build IMM76D.UFCLF6).
The phone arrived yesterday and I really like it, but I've encountered a weird issue. If I reboot the phone then it is no longer able to make any sound. Any action that requires sound -- incoming calls, outgoing calls, choosing a ringtone, playing music, taking a picture -- causes the phone to freeze for a minute or more and then become very slow. Rebooting again makes no difference. The only solution I've found is to reboot into recovery and factory reset, though this may only work after several tries.
- Has anyone heard of this issue before?
- Is it likely to be fixed by upgrading to Jelly Bean (I'll install a custom ROM if I can be sure that the phone is working properly) or is this more likely a hardware issue?
Apologies if this question has been answered before. I've searched the forums here and elsewhere, but I haven't found any mentions of similar issues.
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing a stock UCMC1 ROM and doing a factory reset after your flash finished successfully and Odin rebooted your phone.
3 things you need:
1- skyrocket windows drivers from Samsung website
2-Odin
3-stock ucmc1 tar ball.
Refer to this page:

Good luck.

You don't need to install a custom rom. Try updating to official jellybean with kies, if that doesn't work then try C64's advice above with either UCMC1 or UXUMA7 (uxuma7 is less bloated).
The issue you're having is odd and I haven't encountered it before..

Thanks for the suggestions, C64 and lingowistico. Upgrading to JB was going to be my next move, but I wanted to know if anybody had seen this behavior first. I don't want to mess with the phone too much in case the seller will take it back (I may be on a loser there). I'll try the official upgrade and let you know.
Custom ROM not necessary -- true, but I've been running CM on my bravo for a couple of years and can't go back to a stock ROM. I'll try the de-bloated version of the official JB release, but I'd like something I can have more control over.
Cheers...

when phone is doing odd things the best way to ts is a complete wipe, formatting/removing sdcards then returning to stock w/odin, but you could try the debloated rom 1st just to test it out, if its resolved then its prob not hw related, just make a backup of ur current rom if planning on returning it but since you install an official stock it should also be returnable

Thanks Vincom. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment so haven't been able to try the upgrade.
One question -- how is it possible to make a backup of the current ROM without first rooting and installing a custom recovery? I suppose that I could install the custom ROM and create a nandroid backup. Then if I needed to restore I could restore the nandroid and reinstall the stock recovery. Is there an easier way?
Apologies, I just saw that you have information on reinstalling the stock recovery on your Newb Guide.
BTW, I want to say thanks for your work on the Newb Guide. One of the things that sold me on this phone was the support that it has here. Amazing to have all of the information on installing the custom recovery, rooting, etc. all in one place.

I believe I had this kinda issue once before, it was when I flashed CM10 or something. No incoming sound, sound did not work whatsoever, but installed a different kernel solved the issue, or flashing a new different rom.

UPDATE:
So, I managed to upgrade to the official JB 4.1.2 this evening. Had to do it twice.
First time the boot got stuck at the AT&T logo and PC wouldn't detect the device. I followed the directions in another post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34682377&postcount=9 to repeat the upgrade and the same thing happened.
On a whim I decided to try rebooting a few times to see what would happen -- and it worked! Sort of...
I'm repeatedly rebooting the phone and sometimes it will start without problem. However, most of the time it gets stuck when the AT&T logo appears exactly where it should play the start up sound, except it freezes and the sound never plays.
I'm guessing that wiping the data before had nothing to do with fixing the problem and I was simply getting lucky on reboot.
I realize that this is a hard question without having the phone in hand -- but does this sound like a hardware issue?
Thanks again to everyone for their help.
Boot into recovery and factory reset from there. That should clear up the boot loop issue.

Just a quick note to let you know how this was resolved. I returned the phone to the seller who provided a full refund.
Thanks again to those who respondend.:highfive:
**Edit: TITLE SHOULD BE ROOTED NOT UNROOTED.
I'm coming over from an S3 so I'm a bit out of touch. I tried to do some reading around. Here's the situation:
* I got a clean S5 that I need to activate on my account.
* S5 came from a friend that was rooted and running RWilco's OG1 Almost Stock ROM.
* I went into Philz Recovery and flashed the Stock OK4 zip from metalfan78 ( thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...rom-ok4-stock-rooted-zips-12-16-2015-t3272692 )
Should I flash a TAR through Odin instead? Is OK4 what I'm looking for as far as the latest version?
I want to make sure it can be activated via phone by Sprint tomorrow, since I'm on SERO-P and online is screwing up. I also just want the stock experience straight up along with ability to get OTA updates from Sprint. I'll tinker later.
Is there something different I should be flashing? Should I care about Knox or anything? I'm not going to take this Sprint nor do I care about a warranty that's probably long expired.
The Big Question: All I want is to revert this thing back to stock everything, be able to receive OTA updates, and activate it through Sprint on the phone. I will re-root, flash custom ROMs, etc. later. How do I get there from where I'm at?
You should be able to activate on my rom, possibly rwilcos as well. If you want to go to complete stock there is a link in my OP to the stock tar file for Odin.
Thanks! It seemed much more complicated for some reason than all the S3 stuff. I guess I just have to get used to it a bit. Thanks so much!
