Anyone know where or how to flash a downloaded Ozip file using PC software? All of the options I have tried are soooooo complicated. I just want to reset my device back to it's previous official EU Rom.

Hi,
I have a P3113.
I want to be able to receive the OTA updates from Samsung, but their OTA update process invokes a reboot into their stock recovery to complete the update. So, if I replace the stock recovery, the official OTA updates wont be able to complete.
But the only way I have seen to "root" a stock ROM was to first replace the stock recovery with CWM recovery, which is need to install a Zip file that does the actual root.
But, once I replace the stock recovery, I will no longer be able to do official OTA updates because they require a stock recovery.
So, what can I do to have a stock ROM and Recovery on my tab, but also be rooted?
If you have the mobile odin pro (paid) and managed to flash stock firmware (the updated one) that you downloaded from www.samfirmware.com (register first) then you will be able to retain root after flashing if you checked the everroot option in mobile odin pro
Or receive the latest firmware via kies then you could root it afterwards ( root the updated firmware)
Or flash the updated firmware from samfirmware via odin pc 1.85 and then root again as usual
As i know no flashable zip to flash to give you the stock recovery
I suggest update via pc odin and forgetting about update via kies
If anytime you want to use kies for update, you could flash first stock firmware via pc odin then update or flash the updated firmware directly then root

Thanks for the info - very helpful.
So am I correct in my understanding here, I can flash stock with mobile Odin, keep my root have stock recovery and then be able to get ota updates without a problem (or use kies to get the update, either way is fine by me).
If I am correct I love you all more and more everyday I come here
Just trying to confirm my understanding

So this is kind of a bump since I am trying to understand if I am correct here. I am still new to all this and want to learn things.
If I use Mobile Odin Pro to flash stock firmware with EverRoot on my P3113, then I can still receive normal updates either via OTA or Kies (which is preferred?). This will keep stock recovery, for the updates, and preserve my root so I can enjoy the benefits.
Does this plan run the risk of bricking on updating? Due to the fact that it is rooted, I thought you can NOT do a regular update (or was that just because of CWM being the recovery?).
What happens when Jelly Bean goes to roll out, will this brick the device since it is a whole new OS? Will this break root and I will need to re-root?
Just trying to understand everything before I make a decision on how I proceed with my device from here. I have never used Mobile Odin, and this is my first rooted device, so I apologize for my questions, but how else will I learn?
Thanks for your time, and your help, and as I said I love you all more and more each time I come around here, since I usually learn something new

Sorry guys it's right there in development.
Please help
I have a gionee pioneer p3 and I got it stucked in a boot loop while trying to install a custom font after rooting it with no custom recovery tool installed. I downloaded the phone's stock firmware from needrom but discovered the firmware for gionee p3 on that site is corrupt as I couldn't extract the zip file to my desktop. I downloaded a custom rom and after flashing it using SP flash tool, my phone won't even boot anymore, the phone just remains dead like there's no battery in it. But when I connect to sp flash tool, it recognises my phone so I think its a firmware issue or a problem with the bootloader. I want to know if its possible to copy the firmware from a working gionee p3 and use it to flash my bricked phone, if it is, please I need guide on how to do this cos I really want my phone back to its stock rom. If not, any other solution will be much appreciated. I need my phone up and running again please help.
As you mentioned, the ROM you downloaded earlier might be corrupted. Since flash tool recognizes your phone, i think you should try to download a new firmware and try to flash it via flash tool.

That is why i want to know if its possible to copy the firmware from a working phone and use it to flash the dead phone or if i can be taught how tocreate a scatter file for one of the custom roms i have, i'l be grateful. Getting the firmware is my biggest problem. Thanks for your time and help.
hello guys!
I have a SM-G950FD (ZTO) rooted by magisk and TWRP recovery.
I need to perform updates by flash a zip or donwload via odin.
The problem is: when I try to update a firmware downloaded on Sammobile (tar.md5) via Odin it changes my recovery causing to lose all data.
This happen because on firmware that I donwload on Sammobile have a stock recovey included. Otherwise, if I use HOME_CSC will also cause lose data because of change on recovery.
I try a lot of things like, remove recovery file from the tar.md5, also try use Abyssal Kitchen, but I can't have sucess.
I ask for help plz! I just need upgrade my firmware without lose data by flash a update.zip or donwload a .tar via Odin using a firmware that I donwload from Sammobile.
Kind regards!
Hi! A while ago I decided to flash TWRP and a custom rom (LineageOS) onto my S7. After a while I decided that I would prefer the stock OS. So I tried flashing the stock ROM with Odin and a zip file downloaded from SamMobile. But it would always fail when it got up to flashing system.img. So I tried another firmware using SamFirm, the same problem persisted. So I tried flashing the stock ROM using FlashFire, but no partitions showed up. Smart Switch and Kies 3 just said that my device is not compatible. If anyone can help me, it would be massively appreciated.
P.S. I am doing everything right, I've done this exact process on many other Samsung phones.
Are you extracting the AP, BL, CP and CSC files from the zip, or just putting the zip straight into Odin?

please post the error showing in Odin
I managed to decrypt the ozip file of the stock rom RMX1971EX_11_A.16 using https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt,
mentioned in here https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-2-pro/how-to/convert-ozip-to-zip-installing-stock-t4065277
How do I flash the contents?
Also, how do I know if I need RMX1971EX or RMX1971 rom?
On my phone, in about phone, model is RMX1971. I got it in Thailand.
Updated: i know it's possible to flash it through stock file manager or recovery, but it doesn't work as it checks if the payload's version is prior to the installed rom.
