Hi,
I have lost my backup of this rom and require it to restore my unit back to how it was shipped here in Australia. If anyone can supply a link to this firmware 1.016.04_Com_Gen1 in either CWM or Acer Zip it would be appreciated.
1.139.04_Com_Gen1
OK... If no-one has a 1.016.04_Com_Gen1, then the next best is the upgrade version of 1.139.04_Com_Gen1. This is so I can get back on to an Australian rom...
Cheers,
Michael.
Would flashing it to
Acer_A500_0.000.00_1.016.01_COM_GEN1
and from there, to
Acer_A500_1.016.01_1.139.04_COM_GEN1
have the same result and you'd end up with a stock Australian unit?
Just wondering, as I'd like to get mine back to stock and see if it fixes my OTA update problems.
Those packages & updates are from:

No... Different base and flexrom.
I have the required files now... thanks.
Mind to share this file ?
Did these 3 files restore the stock recovery as that seems to be the cause of my OTA update issues.
Is there a link to a guide on how to flash these three img files?
Can you share 1.139.04_Com_Gen1 ? Thanks
1.016.04_COM_GEN1 ROM Here
I got my new tablet today and have backed up the original firmware and put here for all:

hi,
i have downloaded the original ROM from your link.
how do i restore (or restock) my Iconia?
extracted the zip and copied all the img files to /mnt/sdcard
and perform "Restoring to factory defaults via Terminal #2" method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155664)
right after this command "dd if=/mnt/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3"
what do i do next? do i remove the MicroSD before I perform any of the steps above?
does it automatically reboot after that?
i have tried the following:
1. with microSD inserted, nothing happened - system hang
2. without microSD inserted, system reboot but hang at Acer logo
none of them get me back to stock ROM
Hello xda members ,
I'm using GT i9500
1- As the title says , i accidentally deleted my nandroid backup files. I've already installed oscan rom and now i don't have any backup. What do i do?
2- Does sammobile website uploads some sort of nandroid backup? Can i directly flash roms from there?
3- Should i take imei backup ? Since i have no idea about these stuffs + i lost my nandroid backup data.
I don't want to roll back to old touchwiz but i would like to install the stock samsung's upcoming 5.0 and i also want to be on the safer side , pls answer my questions based on the above needs.
ALWAYS make an IMEI backup. TWRP has an option to back up the EFS folder, which is where your IMEI is stored. Another option that doesn't require TWRP is to install Samsung Tool and make a backup through it.
If you go to the Sammobile Firmware Checker and enter your model and country it will provide you with a link to the current firmware for your device. Click on the link and you're taken to a page where you can download the file to the hard drive of your computer. The page also provides detailed instructions on how to restore the firmware, using Odin.

so i'm not at any risk yet ?
Have you made your EFS backup yet? If not, do so now. Other than that, you should be fine.
If you have checked out, downloaded and flashed RaymanFX's latest CM13 Unofficial Nightly ROM for Note 4 N910C/H/U users here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-cyanogenmod-13-semi-official-builds-t3259878 chances are you failed miserably at getting back to Samsung's Stock Firmware as you have encountered a series of unending bootloops. The bootloops exist because your downgrading from Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow (CM13 ROM) back to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop (Your previous Original Samsung Stock Firmware), however if you've received the Android Marshmallow Update for your Note 4 model number and region as an OTA Update from your device or Manually by downloading it from sammobile.com or any other external link and have flashed it before flashing CM13 no need to worry you won't need a backup of your Samsung firmware (Unless you want one) as you can perform a clean install of your Samsung Marshmallow Firmware via Odin v3.10.7 Here is where the fix lies; i have compiled a series of posts from 2 very helpful XDA Members from the community because from my experience i have managed to rescue my device using their methods which i will mention below.
Firstly if you have made an Efs partition backup from your previous Original Samsung Stock Firmware in the form of a .tar or .img file e.g "efs_backup_2015-06-01_02-37-16.tar" or "efs.img" respectively then you are good to go if not leave this thread.
Also you will need to download a Note 4 N910C/H/U Pit file corresponding to the region of your Samsung Firmware so here is a link to a selection of pit files. You will need to create an account at sammobile or simply sign if you have a current account to see the download links here: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30022
Follow FR34K-B1B0's helpful post on getting back to stock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65414257&postcount=39 Skip the 1st Step since we are restoring our IMEI using our backed up Efs file and we will be using a different method to restore this backup.AND AFTER ODIN IS DONE FLASHING THE SAMSUNG FIRMWARE there is a chance that your phone will boot to the Stock Recovery and you will notice a message down there saying: "dm verification failed" so simply wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and then reboot. Afterwards your phone should boot properly. Now close he's post and carry on down here.
After your phone boots up and you have set it you will notice that your mobile is not connected to your specific mobile carrier and you will see the Emergency calls only text on your lockscreen hence the Not registered on network error. Go to Settings--->About device--->Status and scroll down and you will search and find that your IMEI is literally not the one your phone has and that your Serial number is of an Android Serial number given to you from flashing CM13( Since it's a pure stock android software). If you want you can download the Phone INFO App from the Playstore to verify your device's information and if you do so you will notice that your Samsung Serial number is a bunch of 0's like this: 0000000000 or it's not even present hence wiped.
HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART FOR RECLAIMING YOUR MOBILE NETWORK CONNECTION, your IMEI is wiped and so you must restore it using your Efs backup file which i mentioned previously above. To do so you will need to root your device and the guaranteed way of rooting your device is using Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root Method.
Here are the links to the Odin flashable MD5 files based on your Note 4's Model Number that you must download ---> For SM-N910C: https://download.chainfire.eu/559/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.zip For SM-N910H: https://download.chainfire.eu/577/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-tre3g-tre3gxx-smn910h.zip For SM-N910U: https://download.chainfire.eu/557/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-trhplte-trhpltexx-smn910u.zip After downloading the file on to your computer simply load the file through Odin, power off your phone and boot it to download mode then connect your device to your computer and flash the md5 file. After it's done flashing your device will boot to a custom screen with a red android logo then it will boot.
Right now your device is rooted and you will see the Supersu app in your app drawer. Next if your Efs backup is stored on your computer and is of the format .tar simply open it with 7zip or Winrar you will find the .img present then extract it your desktop. In order to restore your IMEI with this .img file we will need an update package that we can flash from a custom recovery(CWM or TWRP). Here is the link to civato's awesome flashable update package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331853 and you'll find the package down in the attachment. After downloading the attached file, rename your Efs backup file from "efs.img" to "EFS.img" then extract the contents of the downloaded update package to a folder with the same name of the package, copy your EFS.img file to it and use 7zip or Winrar to add the files to an archive(.zip).
Last but not least copy the new repackaged flashable zip to your external or internal sd card. Run Odin and flash your desired Custom Recovery(CWM or TWRP). Boot to the custom recovery and flash the update package and finally reboot system. After booting your phone will have it's Efs partition restored; your IMEI and Samsung Serial number will be back and your mobile network will be back on again. :fingers-crossed:
Special thanks to FR34K-B1B0 for he's helpful post on getting back to stock firmware
And Many Many Thanks to civato for he's really useful Efs restoring update package! :victory:
And last but not least thank you Chainfire for your great CF-Auto-Root Method that helped root our device(s).
Hi all,
I bricked my phone installing nougat and after i formatted all. Now my phone can start in download mode only or loops on Boot logo.
Ca anyone help me to fix it? How can I find the right OEM firmware?
Thanks.
Hi. What do you mean by formatted all? If you formatted system your os is gone and phone won't boot.
Check updato for firmware fownload and flash with Odin.

You got twrp recovery? If you do, you probably wiped system partition too.
You don't need to flash pit, bootloader etc. You can just flash any custom rom to get it booted again.
Otherwise you'll have to download firmware to flash in odin. You probably need one starting with FXXU3 if you was updated to latest MM version, or N.
I wiped all. Can you guide me to download right file?
I Keep losing wifi when on stock rom, Custom rom everything is fine , but i gave up trying to get atmos to work. So i want to restore back to stock either MM or Nougat. If somebody could upload a copy of their EU B2017G EDL firmware with the EFS partition i would be extremely grateful. I seem to have lost my backups.
Thanks
QUICK UPDATE
I found a copy of the full EDL backups from a Russian site. I done a full wipe using TWRP then i used my original stock UK MM 6.0. ROM and flashed from inside TWRP. Then used the Russian EDL files to give me Nougat B16. I Think it was flashing the stock rom with TWRP gave me the desired results, I was not getting any luck just flashing the EDL files alone. Hope this helps anyone else out who are not getting luck with radios on stock rom after using a custom rom.
(Apart from this, Its time for a new Phone!!!)
My mobile signal was weak i tried to flash but it was dead
