Warranty, well yes. But you can always gain back your warranty by flashing stock ROM. And IMEI you won t lose, if you follow the steps of flashing correctly.
If you want to backup apps and data that you have, then root your phone and use titanium backup. And if you do decide to root. Also do backup your IMEI. All the tutorials are there in the roll up thread in the development section.
Live free flash hard.
good, but i bought my phone from t-mobile macedonia.. they have modifed roms with some of their logos how to back up that rom?
you can backup by using Clock Work Mod recovery but you have to install that first. but it will backup the custom recovery with it or you can output your rom with kitchen v2.0 or 3.0.
I know your feeling i was also afraid for my first flash.. I first flashed euro 2.2 stock rom and then kryllios non oc and it was a great feeling look up on youtube how to dump your current(backup)

Hello,
I just bought a new myTouch 3G (T-Mobile USA) which has the perfect SPL. I want to root my phone and I am new to Linux. I have collected a lot of information about rooting the perfect SPL phone.
One thing is not yet clear to me is how to back up the stock ROM that came with the phone so that I can unroot it later, if need be. There are a lot warnings of doing backups before rooting. But no descriptions about how to go about doing it.
What I want to do is backup my stock ROM as the first step before I do anything. I understand that I need to downgrade my ROM to Cupcake before I can root my phone. But, before I replace my stock ROM (Donut?) with Cupcake, I want to backup my stock ROM. How can I do it?
There is a step of doing a backup using the Flashrecovery after I have downgraded to Cupcake. But, at that point, am I not backing up the older version of the ROM?
Thanks for your help in this regard.
I got my Note yesterday from a phone shop and my screen has loads of lines across it when dark colours are displayed...not happy! Its not damaged so its not my fault I only noticed last night and its been stressing me out.
I rooted the phone earlier and also I installed the ICS theme, can I get back to original state before I go to return the phone, help needed please! Thanks.
try settings, privacy, factory data reset. if that doesnt work, you may need to flash.
Reflash back with the stock regional ROM, Although I have no idea yet as to where to get the ROM.. last time I checked with Samfirmwares they dont have it yet.
Anyone know of another way to unroot, maybe by using the unrooting method?
Here is how I rooted, I used this guide in the following link http://knowmydroid.com/guide/root-samsung-galaxy-note
...so you know what method I used so that you can tell me the proper unroot solution, thanks.

Can I use this rom? http://www.filesonic.com/file/40770...000XXKKA_CSC_N7000XENKK1_PHONE_N7000XXKK5.rar
The link came from wikipedia and is a Europe rom
I have no idea what ROM came with your phone, might as well check with the store and download the correct ROM.

How do I do that?...ring them up? I bought my phone from the Carphonewarehouse incase you have an idea of what rom it is
I have the update rom on my phone, all I need is either another rom or the stock theme to remove my current theme (ICS) so that they don't know I had root, then I can unroot my phone.
The phone will be unrooted in the process of flashing a stock ROM. Did you pull a nandroid when your phone was (almost) still stock? You could restore that against the theme. As for root/unroot, I did jot down my original version: XXKJ4. I find that ROM, I'll be fully stock again. Check the thread of the root solution you used, there might be instructions on how to unroot. Also there is a dedicated how-to-unroot-thread in the dev section.

I'm also interested in this.. I would like to root my phone, but I don't want to lose the warranty.
SAMMOBILE
Anyone in the UK who like me purchased their note from carphone warehouse, if you hop over to sammobile, you will find for the N7000, a nice stock rom listed for the note, and it is the carphone warehouse version..
I have it as backup to flash just in case it ever has to be reurned, but for the record, for those that did not know, As long as it has a rom that is stock for your region on it when you return it then its fine, Flashing or upgrading a stock regional rom does not affect your warranty, so dont worry about binary counters.
I think custom roms and kernels do affect warranty tho.

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 with a carrier rom and I want to have the samsung official rom.
I downloaded the stock from from this link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29362
I tried flashing it with odin V3.09, but when the phone loads it is still with the carrier's rom...
How can I completely remove the carrier's rom and have only the Samsung offical stock rom ?
Should I use Philz recovery to install the rom from zip after a factory reset ?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can't because the bootloader is locked down.
There's still no way to unlock the bootloader right now.

I'm not sure what you want, exactly. The 'carrier' version of TouchWiz isn't super different from the 'standard' TouchWiz. Maybe a few apps are added and the correct APNs and stuff are included. But the base ROM is still TouchWiz.
You can get custom TouchWiz roms that have more features than the stock one, but that look and perform just like the stock one. Those are carrier debloated (usually)
Or you can just root the phone and manually remove all the carrier bloat that you don't like and give yourself a 'pure Touchwiz' rom.
If none of that appeals to you there is also AOSP roms, which have none of the TouchWiz UI and look like like a Nexus device.

Hi mate ,
ILO is the unbranded version , should not have any of the carriers bloatware on it ..but it will have Samsungs....
Did the flashing went ok? if you still have philz recovery installed after flashing something went wrong
BTW bootloader is not locked.
Flashing went fine but with no change at all

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
The flashing went fine, but the loaded up like I haven't flashed it.
It was the same like before I flashed it...

Hi mate ,
After flashing what recovery you have installed?
Any Odin errors during flashing?
Check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Flash the rom with PIT file ( any of the ones you see there) then after you confirm that the flashing went ok flash the ILO firmware
My phone does not have signal. The rom is great.i wang to use it.how can i do?albe 3.5 is perfect. But the 4.6 can not work. Thank you very much for helpping me.
Which model S4 do you have? Certain models, specifically the M919, will not work with Albe's ROM.
Have you restored the stock ROM for your device? That usually will restore the IMEI.
My suggestion is that you RESTORE your backup (hopefully you made one), check that the rom is indeed intended for your specific model, google a good guide that provides you with step-by-step instructions on how to flash a rom the CORRECT way.
There is a good reason why one should do a FULL backup using a CUSTOM recovery BEFORE flashing a ROM.
Hope it ends well...
Hey guys ..
I need a real help here.. since I'd neither rooted a phone nor installed a custom ROM before.. Its also my first thread here in xda :laugh:
and I'm now about to do so with a used "Note 3 N9005" which I've bought recently.. now I want to install the "Phronseis latest Note 5 Marshmallow ROM port"
knowing that this device condition now is "Official and not rooted" with the latest official Lollipop 5.0 from Samsung via OTA update.. and the Knox is tripped showing "0x1 (4)" in the bootloader..
My problem now is that when I've read the step by step guide of the installation process I found myself lost because of some terms that I have no idea about which made me afraid of messing the things up or bricking the phone :crying:.. for example they talked about the "kernel" and I don't know if I could just ignore this part and go through the steps resulting in installing that ROM with the stock kernel??
and all that brings other questions to my mind :
1-what exactly should I do to get this phone from this official state to the desired one?
2-what about the battery life and screen on time? will it be affected by that ROM or the kernel that going to be used with it??
3-will I be able to go back to official state anytime later by flashing the official Kitkat ROM with Odin for example?
4-will this thing change my IMEI or CSC and if it does will it be irreversible?
Any help is appreciated but please there is no room to give "opinions".. because in my condition I need "facts" :good:..
Thank you in advance
A rom has instructions start by reading them .
You can revert to stock by flashing via Odin.
Facts there are a number of faqs and stickies.
Opinion unless you understand the basics flash nothing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/samsung-galaxy-note-3-sticky-roll-t3237249
Rule 1 backup EFS
Rule 2 read the instructions .
Rule 3 Understand the instructions .
Regarding the rom you want to flash all the details re kernel etc are in the OP page 1.
