So first off im gonna start off and say that I dont really care about being rooted in the first place. I thought id be flashing a lot more stuff but It turns out that I never flashed anything. So on my phone as of now I just have root and I have twrp installed onto it. I did that process to take off the custom recovery status from using motochopper as well. Now my problem is that every time i try to take the ota I get booted right into twrp and then i am unable to take the update. I even downloaded the zip file and tried flashing it and I just get a failed message. Can anyone tell me whats going on? Or point me into the right direction so i can uninstall twrp so I can take the update?

Well actually I have one more question. Arent I already stock? I havent even flashed another rom. I literally just got root status and put twrp recovery on it. Do I still need to use odin?

You say you are rooted, then do a factory reset, and un-root, then you will be able to get the update.

Like axman said, flashing with Odin to stock nothing gets deleted. If you do a factory wipe, everything gets deleted.
You could also try to update with kies instead of ota. Maybe that will work.
The problem is not that you removed root you still are using a custom recovery you need to get back to full stock use odin to get the phone back to full stockso you'll have a stock recovery

Ok folks,
I'm having a hell of a time with my phone.
No matter what rom I flash, seems to have issues from lockups to reboot.
I have tried every kind of wipe in CWM, inluding making sure I have the latest version of CWM and modem, same.
Is there a way to TOTALLY wipe everything on the phone and go back to true factory default, even as far as the phone number programming? Like it was when it came from Splint?
(Yes, I'd then want to unlock with Odin and put a new ROM).
Thanks much!

Is this a TOTAL Wipe?
He says internal storage wont be wiped, so how is it a total wipe?

Yes it will put the phone back to when you took it out of the box..I think he means that if you have any files that you downloaded to the internal storage ie pics,music,contacts things like that they won't be touched.
Just download the Odin file and the Sprint file which is the stock software the phone came with and use is procedure.
Just to worn you The Sprint file is large and will take awhile to download to your comp
Get the full mf9 tar.md5. Remove sd card. Flash with pc Odin. After phone boots up to home screen and settles down, don't set up anything. Go into settings, accounts, backup, then do full factory reset with wipe of internal storage. After it reboots and settles down again, you're completely back to stock. No need to wipe your phone number and associated settings. If it were me, I'd stay away from custom roms if they're giving you nothing but problems.

That's what I did just rooted the mf9 and got rid of all the bloat.No problems to speak of..
Not to be unappreciative, but, w/o a reset all the data was still there.
Which makes me nervous wondering if there is some crap left over.
Yes, I realize a wipe will get rid of the apps but I want to make sure I'm truly starting from point 0.

Simple if rooted have twrp installed and select to wipe everything. Then Odin back to stock unrooted.

So if you are on MF9 good luck with going back to stock everything. Because the methods mentioned above don't get rid of the MF9 Firmware just the Build. Also You have use triangle away which only works on MDC and MDL to get to fully clean stock. Everything mentioned in this thread will not do what you want if you are wanting it out of the box like new condition.

Hey guys, I screwed up bad. Im trading my G2 for an M8 tomorow, So I reverted back to my 'stock' restore on TWRP. Not really thinking about it I tried to update to 4.4 directly from the update centre. Now im stuck in a boot loop going into TWRP and it wont let me into the firmware. Can I still follow the thread that tells you how to go back to stock? Im in panic mode right now so im sorry if this has been asked before. Im just writing this so I can maybe get responses while I try and fix it myself.
thanks,
Brandon
EDIT: this back to stock thread is very intimidating. If someone could tell me an easier way (if there is one of course) to get back to stock it'd be appreciated.

100% wiped as in you wiped the internal storage as well.
Try to adb sideload a rom to atleast get it to boot something? You'll still have to go back to stock tho..
And if someone sends you a stock rom, that won't help you I wouldn't think. You'd still have twrp if you were to flash that. I'm assuming you want it back to 100% stock, right?

No i dont mind having TWRP. I just want 4.4 'stock' D803 rom. As in all the features of 4.4. He knows it is rooted, thats no problem
EDIT: I booted into download mode and rebooted from there. It now goes back into the stock image I had flashed. 4.2.2 LG Skin. he wants 4.4 though is the main issue.

Well, it's too bad the return to stock scares you. I'm not too sure how it works for your variant, but it was pretty straight forward to do on my D800. If you could return it to stock, then update, you could use towelroot to re-root (takes like 10 secs).
Aside from all that, i'm not too sure what else you could do really.

CSE will wipe all for clean flash . Thats the way to go. OI have used Cloudyfa stock for D801 T mobile but it did not have WiFi calling so flashed D80120A_00.kdz , over cloudyfa 2.2 stock .You will have to root it . use towelroot apk and let it rain, then autorec for the recover. Good Luck

Hey im wanting to go back to stock unrooted to get the ota that just dropped here in NZ. Its not on sammobile or anywhere and i hate waiting.
Now my question is this:
If i make a data backup in twrp can i put that back on after i reroot etc?
Also is this the correct procedure to go back to stock (never done it before... never had too)
Flash AP of my stock rom in odin? Nothing else?
That will kill my twrp wont it as it will flash back the stock recovery?
Phone will be able to OTA even though i was previously rooted?
Will i need to wipe my data etc to go back to stock completly if so how?
Think thats all i need to know...
Thanks in advance

I stumbled on your thread because I had these same questions. I skipped the S6 series & forgot what I'd learned from my S5. I figured, what the hell, lets see what happens.
For anyone else with the same questions, my answers are in red above.
It did wipe it cos i had twrp so it couldnt read my phone on stock. Bit of a pain but oh well thank goodness for smart switch. Now my phone still wont see the OTA. So did this for nothing lol. Rang samsung to see why they are calling me back. It didnt find the OTA before rooting either it always says im on the latest firmware... which im not

I have been trying to go back to Marshmallow from the N beta 3 preview for a few days now, but it doesn't seem to be working any way I try. I originally tried to use the OTA method by unenrolling my device because that is the way I got the preview to begin with. Every time I tried that, though, it would end in an error after trying to install the update. So i tried flashing the Marshmallow images manually using fastboot. I flashed everything, including the bootloader, radio, recovery, boot, system, vendor, cache, and userdata, but when I tried rebooting, it would be stuck on the Google logo. Can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong or can maybe help somehow? Thanks in advanced!

Not trying to say you're lying but are you sure you flashed everything? Are you using the flash all script or are you doing each image manually?
Mainly you need to flash boot, system, vendor, and userdata. Userdata just wipes that partition.
The N bootloader and radio should be compatible with the latest marshmallow release.
My best guess is if you used the flash all it didn't work, because it never works.
If not that then maybe you got a corrupted file? Try redownloading it and try again.

Nah I don't use the flash all script. I flashed everything manually and I didn't forget anything. I actually tried this twice and used a new file the second time so it's really weird. I have no idea what's wrong

Try this command first: "fastboot format userdata" - then flash all images, exept "userdata.img".

Download the file and rename it whatever you want. I changed it to update.zip.
Go to stock recovery and then select update from adb.
Then type ---> adb sideload "name of zip".
You will then be downgraded to stock MM with everything working.
Well at least that's what worked for me. Because I was on Android N Preview 3. It was too buggy so I tried to manually flash 6.0.1. but kept getting stuck on the white Google logo. The above method worked for me.
Are you rooted still? Someone told me if I'm going to pure rom all I need to do is wipe like normal like when you u flash a ROM and with gaps and I'll be fine with the vender image . Or do I have to do it your way . Did you go back to stock mm or a rom ?
