Hi, I rooted my stock s7390 with Kingoapp, then I found out the app is considered to be a bit shady so I decided to get back to the stock system. I unrooted the phone with the same app and did hard reset. Now when trying the build-in software updater it fails saying that my phone has been modified. Does that mean there is still Kingo stuff left? Can I get to the "clean" system somehow? I would sooner stay on stock or use twrp+supersu than this Chinese Kingoroot.

If u have TWRP installed and unlocked bootloader then u must find a flashable zip of ur stock ROM and then flash it......if not then try flashing ur firmware using Odin or SP flash tool...... whichever u find suitable

rabsarkar, Yep. Had stock recovery. Flashed stock firmware with odin3.07. Found the firmware with the SamFirm. Worked.

I tried flashing to the latest version of stock rom and found it had the new Samsung policy updates in place preventing me from rooting and using superuser things properly, so I went to do a full restore back (using clockworkmod).
Now my phone takes about 3 minutes to pass the logo screen before booting up to the home screen and my wifi won't switch on either... Anyone have any ideas why this may be?
I'm currently downloading an older stock firmware to flash using odin and then using titanium to restore all my apps and settings.
Is there a way I can have the latest stock firmware without the new policy updates?
Hi, you need to reinstall the stock up to date version via Odin. It may take two attempts. Your boot loader is locked. Once you have done this, flash a recovery via odin then you can root and flash a recovery. It happened to me. Any questions let me know.

So I need to install the latest stock rom (even though it's got the new Samsung policy updates thing on?), to lock the boot loader, then root and flash CWM via Odin and then use CWM to restore a full backup?
I tried that and it doesn't work... and now when I flash the latest stock rom, the wifi doesn't even turn on... arggghhhhhhhhh!!!!
Ok. After 24hours of no sleep i finally recovered my phone from the soft brick state it was after i flashed the wrong kernel when i was in stock 4.3.Now am back to sacs 8 though no wifi works and phone is rebooting and fc everything. I want to flash back to stock 4.2.2 but odin refuses. If you need any logs to be generated so you might help please tell me exactly what you need and ill provide

what did you do? im trying to use KIES but i dont have the serial.. can you msg me your serial so i can atleast get KIES to download the software? msg me
Kies won't work if u updated to 4.3. Kies 3 won't work either. If u soft bricked ur phone flash the cf auto root tar. It will fix ur error. We're just stuck with 4.3 for now.

kies wont do anything. After 4.3 update we can not downgrade. My issue is i cant boot into stock 4.3. I can only flash octos or other roms but with phone not working and problems as such.
ok somehow i fixed this. I followed the instructions using twrp recover. Only difference is that after i recovered modem and radio through custom twrp method, i used cf autoroot to get stock recovery back then used the update.zip posted in another forum, to update through sideload and it worked. Back in stock 4.3.

the 4.3 update.zip that got pulled out of someones phone before he fully updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3. You can find the zip file in the General section i think.
I was on stock 4.2.2 got the update and went to 4.3. Then i flashed a 4.3 tw kernel and everything got screwed. After that i went followed the instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47113608#post47113608. First i recovered boot , then system , then modem then radio through twrp using the files found there. After that i booted used the cf auto root to go back to stock recovery. Phone was still doing the boot loop up to this point. Then i figured out that the backup was probably a 4.2.2 backup so i used adb sideload to install update.zip. After that i wipe data/factory reset and it booted just fine. Ok lost everything but phone works now like new.
I want to root my N910F but there is one thing i need to know before i do this, i dont want to flash a custom rom, just stock rom with root acces.
I know something about rooting and flashing from my other phones.
What happens if i root my Note4, and samsung rolls out an update.
I know i wont get OTA's, but what happens if i download the update from sammobile, and i flash it via Odin, will i loose my files and settings everytime i get an update ?
Or is there an option to just "Update" the stock rom ?

If you flash a rom from sam mobile via Odin it will do a factory reset on your phone(data not internal).Depending from your options that you enable in Odin it could and could not delete your internal storage...and no in Odin there is not such thing as...update unfortunately something like that is only achievable with a custom recovery and flashing but not all the the time if a rom is very much different from another or their base is different a data wipe is a must.
In my experience flashing a basic update over your current rom will work if it was stock to begin with. Root will be removed when you do this. I would not recommend doing this as you could cause problems down the road. I would really not do it for major OS changes like KK to LP. Whenever I flash, I backup what I need to keep, full wipe with custom recovery, then flash and restore data. As mentioned you can't really update from Odin.
Just root the phone that's the reason u came to XDA if Samsung pushes out update it will be available for download on here

Hi,
I have rooted and installed TWRP on my 910F Note4 as I was fed up waiting on the lollipop update rolling out. I am currently on 4.4.4 and have made a full backup using TWRP of the stock rom.
My intention was flashing the Cyanogen ROM and using that, but i now see on sammobile there is a stock 5.01 rom available. I have a few questions about this.
1. If I flash to Cyanogen can I still revert back to the stock rom 4.4.4 I have made a backup with? I read somewhere there might be problems as I was on KitKat then moved to lollipop(Cyanogen).
2. Can I flash the stock lollipop rom from within TWRP? Or do you have to do this via ODIN?
3. If I flash the Lollipop stock ROM with Odin I assume I will lose root and TWRP? So this would have to done again?
Guess I am asking what is the best way to proceed?
Thanks again
Paul

hi Paul,
1. i beleve to flash CM from kitkat you will need to install the lollipop bootloader first.
2. You have to flash the stock rom via Odin, you will keep all apps settings and files but you will lose root (you u can re root in 3 minutes)
Best thing you could do is flash the stock rom first with odin, see how that feels (IMO its good been using it for months now) and then root it and back it up and flash CM12 (you dont have to flash any boatloader at this point)

Ok tried to flash Stock O2 UK lollipop ROM via ODIN and got error message on screen. MD5 too big or something. Had to pull battery on phone. Had to then reflash TWRP. Got back into TWRP and tried to do a recovery of the backup I took but phone is stuck at Galaxy note 4 screen. It then shuts down and restarts and gets to the same screen again.
Do I try a different ROM? What can I do?
Thanks

I got it working by flashing the German non branded ROM... Got the error message again but then used a "All samsung recovery.tar" as stated on another post in here and it booted fine eventually... Now on Lollipop. Now time to flash with TWRP.... Again!!!
Please, i need help !
I need help, urgently !
My Note 4 SM-N910C does not work. I can enter the Recovery and the Download Mode. When attempting to install a Custom ROM gives me an error that says I have no data. In the internal memory I have 0mb.
I tried using odin, but I can not .. Salta error.
Someone who can make a backup of your phone (which is factory), leave me a link to download it? So I install the TWRP. Please.
They have another solution?
Thank you.:good:
Hi,
I have been using RR for quite a while now, but lately I am having several troubles and I'd like to go back to the stock version, now that MM is available on S5 officially.
Is it possible? What is the best way to do so? Can I use TWRP to update the rom instead of odin?

Yes it's possible, just download your official stock rom from sammobile, then extract the tar.md5 file from the zip and flash via odin. 1 point I will say is do a factory reset via twrp first as it's a clean fresh start. Once phone is done reboot to recovery and do another factory reset vis stock recovery. Then reboot and enjoy. I personally went backwards and went back to kk

thanks, why is it Odin needed? Cannot be flashed like another rom using TWRP?
Also, I need to register to sammobile, I guess there is not alternative, right?

Because it's the official software and unmodified Samsung firmwares must be flash via odin. Plus it's the safest way to get stock back. If u can find a stock MM rom that's already been tweaked and made into a zip u can but modems and bootloader's (which come in official firmwares) can only be flashed via odin. It'll take around 30-50 mind to download on pc, are you wanting unbranded UK firmware? If so give me 20 mind to upload it

Thanks, I don't remember much since the last time I used odin. I will look up for the instruction. I have just another question, I guess in doing so I will loose the TWRP boot. Is that right? If so, how am I supposed to backup and restore the data?

Do a backup first and store on ext sd card, no if card do backup and move to pc, then once flashed stock just re-root and flash twrp again and then u can restore your backup.
