Follow this thread to restore your phone to stock.

This will wipe everything (including internal SD card) and return your phone to the same state as if you were pulling it out of the box for the first time.

Not exactly... After this method the phone status remains "rooted" when booted in download mode. Couple of users reported this problem...

That tool does not unroot your phone. All it does it trip the root flag so when you boot into download mode it says unrooted. It is meant to be used so that if you take your phone into your carriers store and an associated wants to check if its rooted, it will say its unrooted when the associate puts it in download mode, but it is in fact still rooted. This DOES NOT unroot the phone.

Sure. But after you flash kdz file with flashtool the phone isn't rooted anyway, although in DLM it states "rooted"...
As I undrstand it, somehow after you flash kitkat kdz it misses some files and status "rooted" appears in DLM. Explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703501

Interesting. I never had that happen when I used it. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case something's happens. Thanks for sharing.

lg g2 bricked

hello, i just tried to flash cloudyg2 3.3 and i have bricked my d802 16gb. i had stock lp and had rooted and installed twrp did the wipes (no internal), got the right lp bootstack and used the right settings, so i really dont know what went wrong.
the symptom is that lg logo show for a fraction of a second and then a washed out gray on top of screen that fades away slowly. also while connected in pc it reads like many many drives.
on the bright side i can enter recovery/download modes. in my original attempt i used the bumbed sign, on my tries to fix it i also used the loki one, same deal.
seems like i have no recovery file, i thought i did it with one of the programs i installed, but since i am newbie seems like i misunderstood. so no recovery file
any help?

solution found:
1.Download the latest TWRP from blastagator here.
2.Flash it with your current recovery, reboot into that new recovery.
3.Download SRKG2 rom (by somboons) here.
4.This rom is a full stock rom with some debloat and custom camera. Wipe /system/ /cache/ /dalvik-cache/ /data/ and flash it (choose any options, it's not important since you'll be only installing this rom because it also upgrades other partitions to a lollipop supported version.
5.Boot into the rom and reboot into recovery again. (If you are unable to boot or the boot is taking too long like 10 minutes, shut down, go to recovery again and perform a factory reset, the one that makes you type 'yes' in the keyboard and you should be fine).
6.Download CloudyG2 3.1 and wipe /system/ /cache/ /dalvik-cache/ /data/ again.
7.Flash the rom choosing the correct version of your phone (among other preferences) in the aroma installer.
8.Boot and enjoy!
i cant post link of the solution cause i am new, but many thanks to him. i still dont understand what went wrong, but my hypothesis is that i shouldnt install the lp bootloader since i was in lp anyway.
i hope it helps anyone with similar problem.
cheers

you are in qhsusb bulk 9006 souse srktool to unbrick

Unable to install any custom rom. Please provide step by step guide.

Hello friends, please guide me.
First I tried to install Phronesis rom in my note 3 but failed. Then I tried to install "Norma Rom Note 5 V29" but again it failed just like before.
When I click "install" option in the TWRP recovery main menu it open a new menu where it asks me to select the zip. When I select zip file it asks me to "swipe to install". When I swipe it open a new window where few commands starts appearing on screen and a blue bar starts moving at the bottom of screen. After a few seconds a command appear saying "starting aroma installer". and after this phone restarts and get stuck on note 3 logo.
Please help me in this regard. All the information about my phone is given below.
TWRP recovery version that I have is "twrp-3.0.1-0-hlte".

No one?

Some using the search function and you find out that TWRP 3 does not work with Aroma Installers. ^^ Use 2.8.7.0 and you are set.

You have already been given instructions but are to lazy to read and require spoonfeeding .

Thanks to you. If I knew that TWRP is causing it then surely I would have searched. By the way I have been trying to use search option but due to not-knowing of what to search this option is not very helpful. That's why I have to create new thread. If I am violating any rules of the forum then I apologize.
I got the solution for this problem before you "SpoonFeeded" me. Instead of being rude you should have mentioned this at the moment when I asked this question for the first time? And I was not given any instructions to do this.

Thanks to you. If I knew that TWRP is causing it then surely I would have searched.
As i said read Questions and Answers its all posted but you refused to read .
2.2 Question:Why is it unable to flash the Rom? After flashing the Rom Zip File from TWRP, the AROMA Installer wan't open and the Phone would just reboot.
I try to flash the Rom but now i stuck on Samsung Boot Animation. Phone don't boot. What to do? ​Answer:
1. Have you checked the MD5 Checksum? Sometimes a Download is corrupt and a Instalation fails. You find the MD5 Checksum behind the Downladlink.​2. Which Recovery you using? Sometimes the Recovery make problems install a Rom with Aroma Installer.
For now TWRP V3.0 makes trouble and don't let you instal the Rom. Try a earlier version or a different Recovery.​

SM-G360T Still Custom?

I was tinkering with some of the roms made for the sm-g360t and decided i wanted to go back to stock. I wiped everything and flashed the stock firmware with odin. However, whenever i go to download mode it still says "System Status: Custom" Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: After ODIN finishes it would say "Installing System Update" get about the quarter of the way and then say "Erasing"

When/where does it say system update is erasing? In the little box in ODIN when you're flashing the firmware or on your device after flashing the firmware? I guess what I'm asking is does your firmware install completely or not, are you able to boot and are you using the current firmware?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/84077/G360TUVU1APG2_G360TTMB1APG2_TMB/
If the firmware is failing to flash completely in ODIN, then make sure the Samsung drivers for your device are up to date in Windows.
Also, if it's just that you want your "System Status" to say "Official" there's an easy fix for this while still having root, but you will need the following:
1) A Rooted Device(doesn't matter if you're on stock or whatever).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62859013
2) TWRP Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66266209
3) The Xposed Framework.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62377731
4) The "Wanam Xposed" Module.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposedlollipop
In this module there is a box to check that says "Fake System Status", which makes the system status say "Official".

It was after Odin flashed completely. It would reboot into something that looked like recovery. I eventually figured it out. Reset the phone a few times while wiping everything. I guess after the third or fourth try it finally stuck. Thanks for the help anyways. Also thanks for all you do as a developer for this phone.

[ROM] XenonHD Pie for Zenfone Max M2

Well the procedure is the same of MIUI rom, the difference is that i have builded first the rom and after converted it into a Treble AB Image.
1) Flash the firmware .48 Pie, unlock the BL and flash the Pitch Black Recovery
2) Assure that in recovery is unchecked the option "Disable DM Verity", format and wipe data, dalvik and cache and flash this force decryption - DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM OR VENDOR!
3) In the follow order flash first this boot patched for .48, then this system image and after latest Magisk.zip
4) Resize the system partition in the wipe advanced menu and reboot in system. These steps to follow are very important. You will take a bootloop but don't worry!
5) Return in recovery, flash the Permissiver V4 by ErfanAbdi and after reboot in system. New bootloop. Now return again in recovery and use the follow patch. Insert this file (by pitch black file manager) into system/system/etc/permissions (if you don't find this specific path means that don't have followed the steps correctly!) and give to it chmod 755
6) Now, at the next reboot, the rom should boot. Don't flash any zip of gapps, otherwise you will take a new bootloop.
I have realized this rom with ashusharma's trees modified by me and using the latest kernel asus .48 always patched by me, you can build other roms using these sources but remember always to convert the ROM into AB Treble Image with ErfanGSITool and apply the patches for bootloop.
That's all!!!
BUGS
Installation of Gapps or set of any security pattern lock create bootloop at reboot

After installing the firmware, the main screen was not. In the settings I had to turn on gestures. When you open FM-Radio closes with an error
