Hi all, have found alot of information but im still stuck...
Purchased my SGS 2 on the weekend from Optus AUSTRALIA, and typically it is loaded with optus bloatware. I would like to flash a stock rom onto it that has no other crap. Not interested in custom roms at this stage until more development has been made.
Have found a list of all the roms but i just need to choose the right one.
My Info:
Carrier: Telstra AUSTRALIA
Phone Baseband Version: I19100XXKE4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I19100XWKE7-CL215725
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Cheers
If you're wanting to get rid of the bloatware can't you just remove it using titanium back up? As for roms, if you're wanting a stock rom I'd say XXKG6 is probably your best bet?

Thanks for that, I was thinking of using the KG6, have it sitting here waiting to flash. I just need to find a telstra CSC that will go with it.... Any ideas?
The package i have is...
PDA:XXKG6| PHONE: XXKG6| CSC:XEUKD1
Will this be alright if i change the CSC?
Thanks
Sorry mate I couldn't tell you. Probably best to go to the XXKG6 thread and ask there. Good luck. If you decide you want to try any customer roms in the future try Lite'ning 4.2. I've switched to that and can't recommend it highly enough. ALOT faster than stock
Can i ask something stupid? I am a newbie in android phone and when i bought s2 i flashed it without backup the stock rom, now i m using lite'nin rom v1.05..it occasionally crush down..i wan to restore to stock rom, can I? thanks a lot for your help first...thanks thanks

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.
check this link to download and install as directed..

Hi Everyone,
As with every i9500 owner, I am struggling to find a rom i can work with (there isn't enough variety and many issues) so i would like to go back to stock. the i9500 i bought was from Taiwan but it had a lot of bloatware. I am looking for a European rom that has at least bloatware in english that i can manage
the current rom i am using (Doc's barebone with persus kernel) is fairly well but i am experiencing crashes once in a while and radio issues..
The current firmware is: I9500XXUBMF3
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

I ended up flashing using odin with the following file and everything seems to work fine except for some reason there is a HUGE amount of space that's has been taken up on the internal SD card and I can't seem to figure out what or where it is.
Here's the link to the ROM and instructions I used:

Please let me know if there's anything I missed, Sorry for not waiting, I got impatient!
Thanks again for your help
How much is "huge"? You should have about 9GB remaining after the stock ROM is installed.
Oh, and the ROM you installed was fine.

Hey Strephon,
I was left with just under 400 mb after the install. I suspected that it was my CWM backup image taking up the room but after deleting it-it STILL still showed my phone was left with just under 400mb BUT after I rebooted - BAM, total available space now 4.45GB. yay!
I'm tempted now to try out the imperial ROM for lolipop but I'm guessing I'd lose OTA updates right? In fact, I'm guessing I'll lose OTA updates if phone is rooted? Do you know of any custom ROMS that are identical to lolipop but SLIMMED down ie: doesn't have any of the samsung, rogers, bell, crap?
Thanks again for your help Strephon!
Yes, using a custom ROM will cost you OTA updates. But, given the fact you can install a ROM using Odin without losing data, losing OTA updates is simply not a big deal.
None of the Touchwiz custom ROMs have the Rogers, Bell, or Telus bloatware. The Samsung bloatware though is a given on those ROMs. The good news however is that there are guides on the forums here that can be used to customize those ROMs, by deleting the bloatware from the flashable zip before you install it.
The ROMs that aren't based off Touchwiz, in addition to removing the carrier bloatware, also remove all the Samsung bloatware and its customizations, leaving you with something closer to what Google offers on its Nexus 6.
In general, the ROMs in the Android Development subforums are based off Touchwiz, while the ROMs in the Original Android Development subforums don't use Touchwiz at all. However, at least in the Android Development subforum, there can be exceptions.
Hey Strephon,
Just wanted to write about my experience so far.. After flashing to Lolliop 5.01 the email app was slow as molasses retrieving mail, so after some research I discovered doing a cache wipe was supposedly going to fix it..... NOPE! screwed up my phone so then I had to do factory reset. After which FINALLY, it was fixed. THEN, I wanted to get rid of all the bloat ware the stock Lollipop ROM came with. I decided to tackle this with the nifty program called Debloater. After some trial and error removing vital things that resulted in me having to factory reset 3 times and ultimately ending with a full re-install of Lollipop ROM via Odin I FINALLY have my phone setup perfectly the way I want. It was aaaall worth the time and effort, I'm really happy with the results - it's like a brand new phone!
Anyway, just wanted to share this with everyone. Thanks again Strephon and XDA - keep up the awesome work! :good:

Don't worry about the OTA, we won't be getting any more updates anyways lol?
Tap thanks instead of writing it. Guess what, it's easier!! ??
Hi Guys!
Need some help on this thing, hope someone can clear some doubts and give me some advice too... The thins is this, I used to have a Samsung Captivate Galaxy S (Yes, hard to believe I squeeze that thing to the last drop LOL, I flashed SlimRom, wich was a pretty light ROM I think, and keep it as clean as possible always), Im from Mexico, and also Im that type of guy marketing doesnt make hard effect on me... anyway, recently a co-worker offered me this new one, at a very good price, almost brand new, so I got it.
As you can figured it out, It is a long time now since I made my last flashes, upgrades, etc... And now I want to do it again, but if possible I would like to do it the right way.
Here are my S4 settings:
Soft Version: LV720VPUFNG2
Model: SPH-L720
Android: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: L720VPUFNG2
Already Rooted and I've already installed TWRP Ver: 2.8.4.0
I got it already SIm Unlocked.
My Career Network is GSM.
The main reason I want to flash a ROM is to get rid of all the crap Samsung installs, I would like to install a light-weight (Lollipop if possible) but a with all the functions that I aleady have, like Air gesture, Screen Mirroring, Bluetooth, Wifi, etc...
So I would really appreciate if someone can advice me with one good, light-weight-clean ROM, Lollipop if possible... ( I remember back when I was flashing Captivate, SlimROMS where something like Im looking now)
Also, If a make backup before flashing and if I got problems while flashing, By reverting to my backup, Would I have it again working like it was? I mean modem, bootloader, etc.?
My main concern is to be able to back if I have a not-working flash, as this is my new and only cellphone.
Many Thanks in advance. BTW, Hope my english is understandable
No one? :/ Well, I'll keep it more simple lol
If I flash some ROM, I would have the same baseband/modem I already have right?
So if I flash for example, Exodus ROM, I'll end up with Android 5.1.1(I think thats the last one of that ROM) but keeping my baseband as it is now, NG2.
It Should work?
Please I really appreciate if someone can just clear this doubts before I proceed.
Technically speaking, Yes. You should be able to keep your baseband and modem since you're not flashing anything like that over odin, or if the ROM file itself isn't programmed to do such things.

Thanks for your answer man, and just for the last question, Do you know where I can find Stock ROMS, baseband and modems? (In case I need them)
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303917
But It looks like is not truly updated, for example I can't find my baseband version in it.
Btw, Do you know if my modem NG2? Its the last one or not? I've been searching for that info too, but can't find anything updated that I can trust.
Many thanks in advance.

This is for stock firmware's; this means it's an all-in-one stock rom that has the baseband, kernel and modem etc. all inside a single rom file.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L720/SPR/
For latest info on your system check this
http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ServiceAdvisory_542_GKB51952-dvc7300002prd#!/
As for individual files like just single modems, kernels and basebands just search here. You'll find them, search and google are your friend. And no NG2 is no't the latest, OH1 is.

Hey guys i want to install a custom rom for my t00j-d. I searched about unlocking bootloader and things like that but i couldnt find something useful. First off all i have latest stock rom (lolipop) and its not rooted so do i have to root my device first then unlock bootloader then flash rom? And which rom is good at the moment? My priorities are battery life > performance > visual.

i have been looking around and can not find any info on what i want to do. so i am just going to ask and see if anyone can help. hope ive come to the right place.
about a year ago i purchased a blu studio 6.0 hd(d651u). it came stock with kk(4.2.2 i believe. can confirm if needed.) i pulled the stock firmware using droid tool. so i do have the original rom and scatter file. the lollipop update was available so i updated. afterwards i ran the updated rom through SuperRs rom kitchen, rooted, de-odexed, debloated... afterwards when i was theming the apks and was almost satisfied, i dropped the phone and it broke.. so i purchased another one. same make same model(d651u). only thing i see any different is that this new one came stock with the same lollipop rom that my old phone had updated to. so my question is this. can i use the stock rom and scatter file that i got from my original device to restore the device i have now in case anything goes wrong. im trying to find out if i can safely skip the whole rom pull step and jump right into getting my custom rom onto my NEW phone. i know i can use my old rom, i just wonder if i would be able to restore a brick with my original rom pull because they are the same device, just manufactured at different times. any feed back would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you

no, you should not use the backup from another phone to restore your new one. and you should post in the section for blu studioinstead of here, the info you get here might be inaccurate
