The reason why i will never flash a custom ROM on my SII

For some month's ago i had a Galaxy S Plus and i liked it, but i wanted to flash a custom ROM on it. So i updated it with Odin to the newest stock firmware, and i innstalled Clockworkmod so i could flash a custom ROM.
So i flashed the custom ROM (MoonRom) on it using AROMA innstaller and it went successfully. And i used the ROM for one day, and it was fast, and so on, and had a funny sound when u pressed on the dialer keypad, like a water drop sound
I liked the ROM, but i wanted it back to stock (warranty reasons) .So i put to phone into download mode and i used Odin + the pit file and flashed it back to stock firmware and wiped out and formatted everything on it using recovery mode.
And later i used the phone dialer, and the keypad sounds from the custom ROM was still there, after i reflashed it????
I was extremely confused i flashed a billion stock firmwares on there and that water drop sound when u tapped the dialer keypad was still there. I had formatted it and everything and it was still there after flashing back????
I know own a Galaxy S II, and i will never flash somethign custom on there i am afraid that if i do that and then reflash back. Something on the old rom will ble left.
After that i gave my mom the phone. And i was extremly confused...

Maybe the keypad sound is left on the sd card?

Strange, but I wouldn't give up Roms just because of a water drop sound. To each his own.

Agree with the guy above me. Stock, the phone has way too much bloatware.

So do you know any way to get the keypad sounds back??? And also the keyboard sounds are also left from the custom ROM.

If you flashed back using Odin then its impossible that the sounds remain.
I can make you a flash package that should enable the stock samsung sounds if you really want it? You just have to tell me what firmware you will be running i.e. Gingerbread or ICS?

Hello I sold the phone to my mom, and she dont want me to play around with her phone. But thanks for suggestion
I made this post just to try sort things out why the old rom sounds is still there, and i used ODIN + the pit filed when i flashed the Galaxy S Plus.

User error. If you used odin, nothing will remain from a previous flash.

Flashing roms, tinkering, working out issues and resolving them, making device better is what XDA is about and where the enjoyments is, If you dont like that or dont have the aptitude, patience to learn why are you even here or have a Android device?
My suggestion is to get a Nokia 3310 or an iPhone, Or at least do not come here and bore us with stories about why you dont want to flash your phone.

Well it IS on SamMobile and labeled as T-Mobile USA: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910T3/
There are actually SM-N910T, SM-N910T2, and SM-N910T3 acording to the Bluetooth SIG site: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=25312
My guess is they are just different hardware revisions of the T-Mobile USA variant. I remember the Note 3 had at least two hardware revisions, the second one had a different display driver chip than the first one and TRWP had to build a new version for it to make the screen brightness work again.
This firmware image could be just a "common" firmware image for all three revisions.

Could be? Can anyone with a sammobile account upload or does it have to come from a site admin? I am also a little surprised they don't have a post on it up.

Going to flash when I get home from work. I extracted the modem and looks like it has the "T-Mobile USA Root CA" in it as well as the following line:

For what its worth here is the build info from COD6 vs DOFC modem.bin. It looks like they both refer to the N910T as N910T.002 and both using the Qualcomm MDM9225M baseband.
COD6 = N910TUVU1COD6 1935620 SM-N910T MDM9225M REV1.1 N910T.002

How bad did I mess up?

I updated my att galaxy s5 using the chainfire for a rooted 5.0 and everything was awesome and then It was time to trade in my Galaxy so I decided to reset it to stock. I messed up by not clicking unroot in SuperSU and trying to restore using odin and stock firmware (4.4), now my phone is soft bricked. I can get it to the Odin Mode screen and the download screen but Odin fails on every attempt to flash a new ROM. I remember now that I believe it said if you flash to the custom 5.0 rooted rom that you can not return to 4.4 because it locks the bootloader to 5.0 or something. Am I screwed and have to wait for a 5.0 firmware file to be released or is there something I can do to fix this?

I believe you have to downgrade to a kitkat bootloader(4.4) and then flash the stock rom. Try that and tell me if it helps on flashing stock rom.

How would I go about downgrading?

I'm assuming the chainfire root you mentioned was you using flashfire to flash the prerooted L rom since that's the only way in aware of, if that's the case you're fine to downgrade as long as you use the right file, which is pretty much as long as its for your model, the flashfire thread has the downgrade_to_NCE odin package which I can personally verify works fine to downgrade.

Yeah, I think I may of taken the oc4 update becasue flashing it with Odin didnt work. I DID however get it to work by flashing the OC4 Kernal and then afterwards flashing the G900A_OC4_Stock_ Partitions. However im not sure if everything is in working order now, certain apps etc. dont start up when clicked.

Everything seems like its working after a quick restart actually, and Root Checker somehow says I still have root.

Were you rooted or just on plain old stock?
Best way I know to fix is via a PC, using Odin to load stock firmware from Verizon.
Or, you may be able to get a company Verizon store (not a verizon reseller) to reflash it.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

It's on a Un- rooted stock Verizon 4.4.4. Going to Verizon probably out the question, finished contract and went to net 10. I can get phone in download mode (volume down, power, home button) I tried Odin but it failed also. But I may have been doing something wrong. Not real knowleable on these things. Does anybody have a link to stock Verizon 4.4.4? Another thing, my pc is not recognizing my phone now also.

You can get stock 4.4.4 from www.sammobile.com, you have to join to download firmware, but it's free.

well, if youre able to boot to download mode, then you might just need TWRP and a custom ROM. sammobile.com/firmwares (specifically https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/ for your phone) is THE reputable place for tar.md5's, but is known for its slow speed and if your computer goes into hibernate at all, the downloads will fail. But, you might be able to get away with flashing TWRP, putting your choice of ROM on to your sd card and installing it from there.

androidfilehost is always a good alternative, but finding one can be daunting. The G900F is a very popular phone, so it shouldnt be that tough to find actually
here is a german 6.0.1 tar.md5. Should have whatever other language youd need in it as well

Ok So I tried using that rom with Odin. But it seems to have failed. And it tells me to use "kies" recovery.
I even searched that And found the software, but it wouldn't run on Windows.
So just what am I doing wrong here?
I downloaded Odin installed it, ran it under ap I chose the German Rom listed above. After a while it appears next to ap so I start the process off and eventually it says FAIL on Odin and my mobile says I need to go into recovery with kies.
Uhm this is starting to annoy me now [emoji15]
