noob, note 8.0 lte, getting back to stock from cwm

Just running this by, to see if i have everything correct.
if i have cwm installed, regardless of model,
to install a stock firmware from samsung, thus basicaly resetting my device back to stock,
i can go into cwm and install this,
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12916/Galaxy_Note_8.0_LTE_Canada/SGH-I467M/RWC/I467MVLAMG2.html
since thats my model,
and it will restore the device to factory settings, correct?
will this wipe out cwm or will cwm stay?
also, can i do this from odin?
if so,
as long as one can get there device into download mode, they can restore the device correct?
and if thats the case, what are the ways that one may wipe out that portion of the device?
is that part of the bootloader?
or is it part of the kernal,
sorry for such noob questions...
i am really new to rom flashing, but really want to get good at it.
thanks everyone in advance,
ths forum is amazing, and all you people are amazing.

Samsung devices are pretty easy to restore and hard to brick, as long as you have some firmware you can flash through Odin. Download mode should remain intact even if you mess up the bootloader/system.
I haven't looked at the link you provided, but assuming the downloads there are in Odin format, flashing back to stock should be easy as pie.
If however, you don't have Odin flashable firmware, and you ahve soemthign that needs to be flashed via fastboot/recovery, then I'm hoping your recovery is still intact and you can boot to it via Volume Up + Home + Power. If you can get into it, you should be able to load firmware onto a MicroSD card and flash from there.

mishap while flashing back to stock.how/where to get original fw. is it bricked?

i had root per odin + cwm + x-note v5.1 rom. had mj1, but knoxed it 01.
since i wanted to return the device, i wanted to get the original branded firmware. instead of reading a lot of pages (took me quite some
reading to flash a different rom as a noob), i thought i take a short cut and went ahead and pressed reset on the regular settings menu
(thinking, that somewhere on the device the original fw should be stored). i wiped everything off. so after that, while booting up only the
x-logo appeared and nothing else happend. i had to take the battery away to stop it spinning perpetually. i have no clue, but i suppose i
took root away while erasing everything and that's why i can't start the device or pass the booting process.
so here's my question: how to get root again? how to start the device w/o it beeing in this perpetual x-note 5.1 cross? and where to get
the original fw? how to proceed to get back to the original fw? is it definitely bricked? things are getting over my head and i have till tomorrow to fix this problem.
hadn't made a backup. the only backup i have is an efs backup (14mb file). how do i proceed to get back to a branded firmware ? and where
to get it.
any help is appreciated. thx

get it from www.sammobile.com
the problem is the download links there are down have a look and see if it works you might be lucky

hi jaythenut,
thanx for your answer, i heard of sammobile. is there another place? and i'm still not aware how to solve my prob> reinstall cwm + the rom
or bypass that and go directly to the other original rom? as of right now, there's just a constant boot. any ideas? in case i would be able
to install a new rom and the device is not bricked, how to unroot after installing the original fw? via supersu? it says permanently
unroot. how permanently is that?

Have you got Cwm on the phone if so just flash a new rom if you want stock this one is stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461929

hi jaythenut, i hit the thx button this time.
i've got the fw now. not via sammobile since they had a rapidgator link and it wasn't free. i went into cwm recovery mode and re-installed the x-note 5.1 rom, so now the device is alive and running. good. now, that i got the branded mj1 fw, do i install it via odin or via cwm recovery? as a zip or extracted? and afterwards, when the fw branded rom is back on, how do i unroot the device? with supersu? and how do i delete the cwm itself as i don't want to leave a trace or obvious trace when i go into the shop and try to return it? thx for any input

[Q] [HELP][NOOB MISTAKES] G2 apparently has no ROM, can't do anything

Long story short: My Verizon G2 appears to not have a ROM on it. I tried flashing a custom ROM, that didn't work, had to troubleshoot. During troubleshooting, I wiped everything in TWRP, which, looking back on it was probably a mistake (I'm new at this). The phone still didn't boot right so I went into download mode and used LG Flash Tool to flash the stock ROM to the phone. Something went wrong and now I can't get into download mode, and it appears that TWRP was wiped from the phone because I can only do a factory reset, which doesn't do anything. No matter what I do, I'm still stuck at the LG logo. Is there any hope for me?

go for this guide until you get what you want, it is impossible to get twrp without booting rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Thanks, but both those methods require getting into download mode, which I cannot do. Should I send it in through verizon, or send it to LG directly? It still says rooted when I try to do a hard reset, so do you think they'll still fix it?

need stock recovery for my note 3 please help.

Here's some background. I rooted with towel root and went easy enough. Then I used flashify to flash cwm and here's where my problem begins. It apeares as though I no longer have a working recovery. I can reboot just fine but it I step to go to recovery I get a waning screen telling my to go to the nearest Verizon. Volume down/home and power bring me to another screen asking me if I want to install custom os or reboot. I reboot from there and all is good. Where do I go from here? After doing this a light bulb turned on in my head and I remembered I need to be unlocked for custom so now I need some help thanks.

Have you tried to use ODIN to go back to start? Go to this thread and try to go back, if I'm not mistaken the package also flashes the stock recovery. All the instructions you need are there.

Haven't tried that but I did see it. I'm thinking I might have to give that a try doesn't look all that involved. Saturday evening or Sunday I should have time thanks.

OK so Oden is a bust nothing but virus and Spyware when trying to find a working tool. My wife discovered something way better through Verizon. The have an upgrade and repair tool for Samsung that works in one clock. No drama just sit back and wait. It completely restored my phone to new condition and got rid of the annoying custom notification and unlocked logo.

Cant get past fastboot screen

Hey guys so i was on stock lg v20 software and i recently rooted and didnt realize that i would loose wifi calling... I tried to do a factory reset but that was a mistake... ATM i currently can get into bootloader mode and fastboot but i am not able to do anything else but that... For some reason when i mount on bootloader the internal storage doesnt even show up... Im not sure what to do at this point I dont think i can just reset back to stock because there isnt no firmware... I know there is a krz file that i downloaded i used to the flasher software but it didnt do anything for some reason i put my phone into download mode and it would be stuck at 0 percent... I was on the h910 model but now its saying us966 for some reason. I can also note that i tried to install the deox rom or whatever it is and it would say it was installed but when i reboot to system it just goes back into fastboot can anyone help me with this? I realized i screwed up but is there anything i can do? I can contact att and get a replacement but i dont know if they will do it since the bootloader is on there.

Umm try getting back into Recovery if you've already flashed TWRP. Pull battery out, hold down POWER and VOL DOWN at the same time, the second that the LG logo pops up, let go of power and hold it back down again really quick. If you do it right, you will get a factory reset screen. Say yes to both screens. If you are unsure that you have TWRP flashed, reflash TWRP from fastboot. If you are able to get to TWRP, do a clean wipe [(dalvik, boot,system, cache) + (format data)] then flash your desired rom.
I don't know anything about going back to stock, especially since I'm on the Sprint variant. Good luck.

I had the similar problem, Im on the sprint variant. If you can access the boot loader. Run Step 3 of the dirty Santa method. this will install the TWRP recovery again, if somehow it is corrupt. After that, download the stock from for your h910 model and place it on an SD card. Flash it and see if that fixes it.
At least with this you will know that it is most likely a firmware issue.
Note: if after you install TWRP and it just hangs on the LG logo, at some given point, you can run the command via your respected operating system.
adb reboot recovery
and that should kick you into TWRP.

This is not an answer to your question, but you should not lose wifi calling from just rooting. Stock based ROMs should also have wifi calling working.

well dang for some reason my wifi calling wasnt working and ik for a fact that the fm radio wasnt working also not that i need it anyways. Well what i did was call att and thank god there sending me a replacement so im going to send this one back when i get the new one i would like to root the new phone but I do not want to lose wifi calling if i do it again i doubt ill be able to get another replacement lol. Is there a easier way to root possibly? And I cant download a stock firmware because i basically cant find one for my phone I have no way to go back to stock so a rom is only option Im going to try this one more time just to check it im going to download a rom for my phone and ill check it

You may want to check out this thread. If you can't get out of this situation you should also consider not rooting your next device.
