Hello All,
I flashed soak test zip which is floating on the internet and was not convinced with the performance. I tried reverting back to stock using this post. But was not successful and it always gave me error in fastboot and failing to install. Then I switched to AOKP, as I had no option. Devs please guide me if there is any way to revert to stock which is working and will not brick my device in future. Have gone through many threads already and I am scared.

Hi,
Although this is my 1st post, i've been reading posts from this forum for quite sometime now.
Now, I've basically flashed several official FW upgrades from SAMFirmware on my phone and quite recently, i've flashed Kyrillos V7 then 7.5 on my phone. I've been pretty happy with those but unfortunately, i have to revert it back to the official firmwares due to warranty issues (i.e., my phone developed some problems with the capacitive screen...since my phone is still under warranty, i'm planning to send it back).
I tried flashing back the official firmwares that i've flashed before but now, my phone won't boot. It get's stuck on the flashing Samsung text during bootup.
Is it not possible to flash back the official FWs from a Kyrillos V7.5 FW? If it is possible, am i missing some step? Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
it's possible.......u can reflash to get the job successfully done.
Try reflashing again with the same stock FW.

Reflashing again should do the trick.
If you stuck in boot animation, reboot in recovery and wipe data! This happens to me after reflashing from custom to stock rom!
Aftew wipe, stock rom work normaly!
First flash with 2.1 and than with 2.2...

Hello Everyone,
I'm in need of a little help, please point me in the right direction. I purchased a used Verizon Galaxy S4 with a custom ROM installed. I tried updating the phone from settings, but when installing the update i get a picture of a dead android character with an error. So I guess doing it that way on a custom ROM is a no go. My goal is just to update the phone to the newest stock rom. Do I need to flash? I'm not customed to dealing with flashing android roms, but I'm no slouch in the tech issues, I just need to know where to start.
I know I can google the issue, but theres a million guides, which is why the start process seems difficult.
I've attached a screenshot of the device information.
Thank you very kindly for your time.
First you need to go to the proper forum

Just find a stock rom and flash it using Odin.
Thanks man!:good::good:
I just got the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V). I rooted it very easily using odin without tripping knox; that was easy.
I then began looking for ROMs; which for this phone, isn't easy with the locked bootloaders.
I came across a custom ROM, forgot off the top of my head but may go back to retry loading it.
Because these devices have locked bootloaders, any ROM flashed to it will need to have a separate bootloader flashed as well. The aforementioned ROM had one and I understood why, but after I odin flashed the new bootloader, i kept getting a black screen. OK no biggie, factory flash, re-root look for another ROM, except this time, I'm looking for a pre -rooted factory ROM. I came across a lollipop one, 0A8, was hoping for 0G5, but will deal with that later. Of course the ROM had to have, I guess for lack of a better word, a custom bootloader, or index, to tell the phone it's okay to use this software right? So now have lollipop, but have lost TWRP on boot. I'm not sure as to why this has happened, but it's a real pain I want to install and use ROMs on this phone. If I need to downgrade to have TWRP, that's no big deal. So here I am a lollipop stock ROM, rooted wihout TWRP, ugh.
Is there anyone who can help me find a solution to this, it's driving me mad. I just want to have a recovery installed and the klte version won't install. It must be a lollipop thing, but I would love to have cm12.1 when it comes out. And why does this stupid script keep popping up while I'm trying to type this. Just thought I'd share my frustrations or see if there is a way to get TWRP on lollipop?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
To better assist you, your thread will be moved to your device Q&A forum linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help
The experts there may be able to help. Good luck.
U cannot load into twrp or safestrap above the n12 kernal.
If you want to access your recovery, you could try loading the n12 kernal via odin. Then use your recovery. Then reflash the right kernal for your rom via Odin to return to loading status.
That's what I hear is possible- you sound like you can rebuild if u get in trouble.
As for CM - we don't have an unlocked bootloader so that's unfortunately killing it at this time. We are stuck on stock rooted TW roms, or slight variations of TW roms.

Hello guys, I had my phone rooted a while ago (HTC ONE M8, international version or say INDIAN version) and was running on custom roms. Then came the Marshmallow update so I unrooted and all no RUU was available for Android M so I flashed Android L and updated OTA. And then again i had so many apps and god knows what and I wanted a fresh slate as everything was slowing it down very much and somehow I flashed the zip file using the sdcard method. And now the system is taking a good 7-8 GB of the internal 16GB. Right now the phone is RELOCKED, STOCK RECOVERY, UNROOTED. Just think of it as in a default condition. Now I have "0P6BIMG_M8_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_India_6.15. 720.2_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_F_re lease_469495_signed" This RUU.zip. I WANT TO WIPE EVERYTHING PREVIOUSLY ON THE PHONE, LITERALLY EVERYTHING, AND THEN INSTALL THIS RUU SO THAT IT USES THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE SYSTEM SPACE. How to do that? I do not need a detailed guide just give me the step-wise information as in flash TWRP first then do this, then do that, you know what I am saying. Please help me out here it would be a lot of help, I can not see this great a device lagging doing the normal stuff. THANK YOU :fingers-crossed:
Stick to one thread, and please stop posting the same thing over and over (you've now copy/pasted the exact same post 3 times). I've provided some guidance in to the other thread you posted in.
"General" is also not the right place to ask for this kind of help.

Hi,
I have seen so many posts regarding going back to stock ROM, but I didn't find anyone definitive. Also, browsed through many youtube videos and nobody is mentioning a neat fastboot script or something to flash back to the stock ROM.
Now, I have 2 questions:
1 - I am on Stock Debloated ROM now. Is there an article/link from where I can download the stock Firmware (my model is XT 1686 Indian version)
2 - After flashing back to the stock firmware, would the bootlocker be locked back so that I would start getting the normal OTAs?
I'd like to know this as well. (XT1687)

The bootloader being locked or unlocked has nothing to do with receiving OTA's.
Where to find the firmware? Good luck, there are some posted here and there, but start here. Lenovo is not to keen on handing them out, but they get out once in a while, there is no "official" source for them.
Would the bootloader be locked after flashing? That all depends HOW you flash it... Locking requires performing a command (twice) before the flash and once after.
As far as exactly how to flash, meaning the specific commands, they are inside the official firmware ZIP file in a file called flashfile.xml

While not for the G5+, this thread for the G4 might be helpful:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-sucsessfull-ota-update-rooting-t3472658/
It worked well reverting a G4 with a TWRP recovery.
This site has many ROM images for the G series, including G5+ "Potter":
