[Q] How to get my phone back to stock?

So i want to return my phone to stock so i can try to install The newest ROM from darky,
My problem is that i cant get into recovery mode cause my screen gets all fuzzy with white and colored lines, i believe its because of my bootloader but i cant update cause it gets stuck at SBL.bin so im pretty much stuck in limbo here.
Maybe if i get my phone back to stock i can do everything over again.
what information do i need to know so i can download the proper files?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Can you get the phone into download mode?

Maybe try flashing a stock low level (with bootloaders) rom via odin so that the bootloaders are replaced. And use the latest odin, I think it's 1.82 now, that should reduce your problems flashing.

is all the data lost by returning to stock (is there a way to do it without formatting )

Ok ill do that, but how do i find a stock low lvl Rom? could you point me in the right direction? i dont wanna brick my phone hahaha ive already messed it up with the bootloader stuff...
this is what i know about my phone
PDA. I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000XXJVO
CSSC: I9000XXEEJV3
MODEL NUMBER: GT-I9000
FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.3.3.
BASEBAND VERSION: I9000XXJVO
what else do i need to know ?

Your best bet is to do a bit of reading around just so you know what you're trying to do.
[Ramad]'s thread of stock firmwares is probably the most helpful to you. It's got loads of stock firmware and some detailed instructions, as well as downloads for odin and all the necessary files.
If you're going to flash bootloaders you need a file from this thread that has "sbl" in the filename. From the info you've posted you're PDA is XWJVH, your modem (PHONE) is XXJVO and your CSC is XEEJV3. If you want to keep this setup just find the right download with the bootloaders and you should be good to go. Of course you can always flash another ROM if you'd rather. If you're going for a clean flash also flash with a pit file and repartition checked. All the gingerbread so far use 512.pit but you can always check on samfirmware too.
Also below are a couple of links to general guides (which are stickies in the "Galaxy S I9000 General" section. They've just got a load of useful information for all kinds of things:

Here is the ODIN flashable, although there's a KJ5 which is newer. For the 7310 KJ5: ODIN image LINK, CWM Flashable LINK. Passwords can be either: "samfirmware.com" or "samsung-firmwares.com" for the ODIN zip files.

I just bought yesterday evening a p7310, so I'm new with Samsung... so let me ask you some further guestions, if you dont mind :
- the KJ5 rom flashable with Odin you 've posted is a stock rom, isn't it?
- in case that I flash it with Odin, will the counter start to count ? Hopefuly not. ..
- what region is this rom, cos I'm really looking for the latest stock European rom.
Other question a littlebit off topic : why is so sluggish this device? L ags as hell. .. although I use it with a custom rom and custom Oc kernel, I have such a feeling as the gpu is slowed by something...
Sorry for asking a lot, I'll definitely read, but now I'm just in the information collecting fase

1. Yes.
2. What counter?
3. Europe.
4. Because of the TouchWiz launcher. Use another launcher (such as ADWLauncher EX to get rid of the lag) or Overclock your device with the motley kernel to lessen it.

Flash counter only counts if you flash unofficial firmware. This is official rom, so the answer is no.

WHAT ?? Is there a counter like that!!, Does that mean that it is used in case I later on have to send my device in for warranty service to check if I have used unofficial fw? Then my warranty is not valid any more? Even if there is original fw in device at that point, and the problem is guaranteed not due to unofficial fw ....

Hmm, thank for the info, somehow it's not true for my device (P7300).
I have flashed with the ICS Alpha 1 (Galaxian-Soup) and my counter still says, Custom binary Download: No (0 counts)
Or does ICS not count as a custom binary?
If that is the case what, is a custom binary?

How did you flash our rom with Odin? It counts only if you flash something unofficial with Odin. With CWM you can flash as much as you want, this is not counted.

+1 to you sir ...

JUst flashed and was surprised.
I just flashed this to my 8.9 wi-fi that was 3.1.......
Much to my surprise none of my data/settings were wiped , it was all saved. I thought Odin wiped out everything.
Colour me surprised and happy. I can also report this image fixes lots of the issues I was having ( wi-fi not connecting , dropping out , sluggish etc ) now it's seeing my home wi-fi all of the time and seems very smooth.
But the strangest thing that wasnt fixed is that Kies ( yes I know crap program ) still wont connect to it , saying service wont start on the device. I know the Kiew works as it connects to my S2 phone and my newest toy a 7.7 3G.... Cant wait for their ICS ROMS as it should make these little devices fly.

Untouched Lollipop Firmware (androidfilehost.com)

Some people have requested other download links to get their firmware from other places than sammobile.com. I have to agree with them, when I downloaded from there it was a$$ slow and they make you pay for a quicker download speed....which is a HORRIBLE model for the android community. Others also couldn't download from sammobile directly on their device. Therefore, I have started to download certain firmware and upload to Android file host.
Here is what I have compiled so far:
SM-N910T - N910TUVU1COD6
SM-N910W8 - N910W8VLU1BOC4
SM-N910R4 - N910R4TYU1BOC4
I used this method to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903733
Is there any other firmware you would like? Let me know and I will add it to the collection.
I am not responsible for any damage, flash at your own risk.

If I install this can I put twrc recovery and use cf autoroot?

No. Those are base firmware tar files. Flash via Odin 3.09 or newer. Both CF Auto Root and TWRP are flashed in the same manner.

So the phone can be rooted and backed up after the update is what I'm saying?

Yes you can. If you update via Odin, you can then also use CF autoroot to root and install TWRP. I will post a link to what I have used to do this. I am using COD6 rooted with TWRP 2.8.6.0

thanks!

I was wondering what other firmwares can be flashed to a Tmobile Note 4? Is it dependent on what other regions have the Qualcomm processor in the Note 4? I'd love to try something other than the Tmo firmware.

Thank you good sir!

I just happened to see your unanswered question - didn't know if you were still looking for an answer - unfortunately you cannot flash firmware from another phone on your phone using ODIN without bricking your device. you can flash the new Firmware for your phone and follow steps offered in the various XDA threads to install roms that are based on different variants - for example - if you are on TMOBILE Note 4 - once you have rooted - you can flash a Rom from the International version of the NOTE 4 - there is another file you have to flash to fix certain problems - but it can be done. you probably should do a google search to find all of the specifics - good luck - hope I helped you.

Thanks, it makes sense. I got a little confused for a minute because I can flash any country's firmware on my Tab S, but it's the WiFi - only version. Now I remember about installing international ROMs on the Note, system only. Thanks buddy [emoji106]

ODIN: I have 3 TAR files (Kernel, Recovery, Bootloader) where do they go?

Hey . I'm trying to update the modem & bootloader for my phone. However, I don't know where the modem is. I have 3 files. I suspect the BL_N9005XXUGBPB2_BOOTLOADER.tar goes into BL?
And then AP_N9005XXUGBPB2_RECOVERY.tar and AP_N9005XXUGBPB2_KERNEL.tar.md5 go into AP? Is one of these the modem driver?
In what order should I do this? Especially the 2 AP files... I'm confused about those .
I would like to also mention that my device is currently rooted, uses TWRP. I want to update to a newer TWRP and then from Android 4.4 to Android 5. I suspect that flashing a new recovery and a new kernel will mean that I also have to do that once I've updated my device's modem.
Thank you in advance!

If you download a stock ROM from Sam mobile.com, unzip it to get a tar.md5 file which is flashed in the PDA slot of Odin 3.07. This method takes the guess work out of trying to figure out what goes where.

Uh, I don't really get it. I don't have a stock ROM nor do I want one. I want to install latest modem / bootloader so then I can install an Android 5 ROM.

The recovery and kernel is stock ones so don't need it. But still you have to find a modem. There is a thread in general section.

I do love it when you guys make it difficult for me . Really, I do. I mean, you'd do ANYTHING to NOT post a link . I'm honestly not being sarcastic. But I am amused nevertheless. I did search but I will repeat: there is SO much information that I can't be sure WHAT is correct. I've already been here:

That's why I even started this topic.
I hope somebody will have the mercy to REALLY read what I ask and come up with a good answer, not vaguely-interested pointers into some vague direction.
I appreciate the time spent here by anybody, I've donated to this community and will gladly continue to do so! You guys rock. And I do appreciate even the vaguely-interested replies .

No worries bro.
You don't need to bother about these two files. Because, none of these is of your use. You are going to try a different ROM from the stock. Hence, you don't need to install Stock Kernel and Recovery. You need custom kernel which either comes with the ROM or you have to adopt a different one according to your need. As you have rooted your phone, you just need to install TWRP Manager from Play store to update your recovery, give it root access and install 2.8.7.0 recovery which is totally reliable at this point. I think it is explanatory enough

N910TUVS2EQE2 Firmware & Modem!

I made these ODIN Flashable Firmware and Modem files for myself. And figured I'd share them here for anyone wanting to upgrade their phone without having to download the entire ROM!
**** Warning!!! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! XDA or I am not Responsible for ANY Destruction!! ****
Install Directions:
The procedure I use to install these is, In Odin Untick 'AutoReboot', then load Modem file into AP slot, Flash! When complete, Pull battery for 5 sec. Then REBOOT into Download Mode Again.
Then in Odin, load Firmware file into AP slot, Flash! When Complete, REBOOT!
Done!
N910T ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910TUVS2EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910TUVS2EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
N910T3 ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
Enjoy!!

They are for t or t3?
Thanks
Edit. I think they are for t only. Could you upload for t3 or explain which files to use? Can I just extract from official fimware and flash the .bin in odin? If yes, which files should I extract?

Im a little unsure about your question, so ill try to answer best I can.
Yes this can be flashed with any rom, rom doesnt matter, this is flashed in Odin! It updates your Bootloader and Modem! BUT you must pay attention to what your ROM states. Some ROMS dont work Good with certain Firmware.
About the baseband, This would update it.
Since Im new to the N910T model, Im unsure about the downgrade procedure. So You might want to check that your model can be downgraded back to DOK2 once you update. Just in case your rom dont play nice with new Firmware!!
Hope this answered your question! I added install directions to OP

having issues with my Note 4 T-mobile
Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks

I would highly recommend you start a new thread for this, there are many reasons why a phone could be doing this and you need
to provide more information, like what happened before the phone was restarted, did you have a stock rom or a custom rom, were you trying to flash anything when it started restating, were you rooted, can you boot into recovery or download mode...all these things factor but like I said I would definitively start a new thread because your hijacking someone Else's and it has nothing to do with the topic.

Yes bud, you'd get better responses making your own post in question area. As I'm not on here a lot. And only people visiting this thread are few to download this link. I just seen your post.
But since I am here I'll try my best to answer you.
Judging by your post, I'm gonna assume your were on pure stock and took an Ota that went bad? Correct?
2. If you used Odin, and noticed you didn't mention getting errors.
So it leads me to ask are you using this firmware here, because this isn't the complete rom. And that's what you want!
Let me know if this is correct? Plus explain more detail? Model T or T3? Last update you were on and file you tried flashing?
And I'll help you get correct file and such.

EQE2 Modem only on DOK2 base 5.1.1 Rom?
Anyone flash just the Modem as per my title over top a Lollipop build and get any better reception or otherwise results or is this a big no go?

Thanks, but I think those files are only for T1 variant.

Think u' re wrong, you've said to flash bootloader in AP slot (i knew in BL). Modem baseband is CP. AP is for recovery.
