help please my sg2 needs help asap

hello
anyway to get the original firmware for sprint usa galaxy s2?
Reason i ask is cause i was told to root my samsung galaxy s2 and followed the guide shown here on the site. Now the rooting went perfect but i didnt even realize/think that since this is the usa model its diferent from all the others wuth the buttons on the bottom, now after rooting the buttons dont work except the back button. Unless anyone here has another idea
thanks
P.s. sorry for double post just desperate here due to my phone not working with service or anything due to this dumb mistake i made

You need to flash a stock rom mate. Try Sam's firmware. Google it. Don't pannic

Returning S5 to Stock Rom

Hi
I need to return my S5 to stock firmware so that I can return it to the people I bought it from. I'm looking for the unbranded stock firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus SM-G901F for the UK.
On sammobile, the only UK firmware is for EE:

Does anyone know which one I should go for?

When you have no choice, it is easy to choose

Don't think it will make much of a difference, but you might as well just grab the latest one, even though it is over a year old. It is probably what would be on the phone if you had done an OTA update. I would be more concerned if you accidentally tripped Knox along the way and the people you are returning it to care about such things. There is no way to un-do that, short of replacing the board, but it also may not matter. Good Luck.

Thanks for this but the links are dead in your first link and the second doesn't seem to link to any roms (unless I'm doing it wrong)

Galaxy GT-I19506 root problem

So I got a S4:a from a person and I was trying to root it for fun. With Odin.
But Odin stops, when I recently pressed "Start" and it says failed.
Anyone know why?!
I was following this tutorial: (Link removed)
I have been using " CF-Auto-Root-ks01lte-ks01ltexx-gti9506.tar.md5 "
and Odin3-v3.10.6 .
Thanks alot! Keep in mind that I'm a beginner (first time rooting a phone)
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread, but I didn't know where to post it. Since I'm new here.

Galaxy Note 4 rom issue SM-N910F

Hey all,
I recently broke my main phone whilst carrying out a repair (Sidenote dont do repairs when your hungover)~
Anyway went back to using my note 4 and I couldent use my banking app because I had obviously at some point in the past rooted the phone.
So I embarked on a mission to unroot it which I was successful in.
But then I found a way I could have my phone rooted and use my banking app but it involved flashing the phone back to the stock rom entirely
I downloaded what I was sure was the stock rom for my phone and got to work with odin.
anyway the phone booted fine but whenever it tried to connect to the mobile network it rebooted itself.
Obviously not the stock rom
Ive since searched high and low for the stock rom flashed several on too the phone and yeah no joy
So right now I dont have a phone and im genuinly surprised at the impact that is having on my life lol.
So im hoping to get some help too find the stock rom for my phone
As says in the title its a samsung galaxy note 4 SM-N910F it was purchased in the united kingdom and the network is o2
Any help and advice would genuinly be apreciated.
Cheers.

I don't have this device myself but, it looks like you may need to Obtain and Flash the Stock Firmware with the PIT File (PIT = Partition Information Table) for your device.
The following is the SamMobile link for the Firmware for your device (on the UK "O2U").
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910F/O2U/
The following link is to SamMobile as well where you can obtain the PIT File for your device.
https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/30022-Galaxy-note-4-(-SM-N910-)-pit-files
They both are used together when flashed via Odin.
If you require further guidance, your best bet would be to obtain it within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device and variants.

Your in luck!
The solid answer is that the Bootloader for the Verizon GS5 with the "CID11" Cannot be Unlocked (ONLY the "CID15" can).
Your only option is the ability to use the Customized TW Firmware (TW = TouchWiz) via SafeStrap.
The OP on the following thread provides further information on your options as well as instructions if you do decide to go with TW Firmware and SafeStrap.
