[GUIDE] Return to stock - (LGP925-V10e) - Updated

This should return your phone to a completely stock state in case you want to grab an OTA update or return the phone.
Instructions:
1) Download update-thrill-stock-rom-rooted.zip and place it on your SD card.
2) Power off your phone.
3) With the phone powered off, hold the volume down button, the 3D button, and the power button until you see the LG logo and then release. This should boot you into CWM.
4) Select "wipe data/factory reset".
5) Select "install zip from sdcard" and navigate to and select update-thrill-stock-rom.zip.
6) When it finishes flashing, select "reboot system now".
7) Download recovery.backup and place it on you internal SD card.
8) Run these adb commands:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.backup of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Code:
rm /sdcard/recovery.backup
Code:
reboot
9) Finally, unroot using SuperOneClick and you should be completely stock.

Once I get this new version up you can boot into CWM and push it to your phone using the following adb command. Then proceed from step 4.
Code:
adb push update-thrill-stock-rom-rooted.zip /sdcard
edit: Crap, couldn't get it uploaded in time. Have to run to an appointment. Will upload a little later.

True...but I hate buyers remorse
I am going to hold out for LTE and the bigger screen
This Samsung friend of mine has one now, and he was spot on with the release date he gave me 2 months ago...so I'd say the Celox could be in hand within 2 months for sure. Hoping to play with the Test model he has soon (and get a release date)
Still may keep the thrill though. With your ROM this thing is pretty nifty...plus we have other upgrades available on our lines so....
but to stay on topic...I leave early today and will try out whatever you get going later today

K it's up.

Thanks GTG your the man Back to stock brotha

Thanks a lot I like this phone but I am not sure if I got lemon or what , Playing pandora radio it squeals all the time no matter what rom I use, the music on music player skips all the time too. I sometimes have to push icons 3 or 4 times to get them to register my touch. and the home row icons I cannot even use them half the time because they don't even do anything when I touch them. I think there might be a problem with the screen. But that is not all that is wrong. I have the phone freeze for 5 to 10 seconds at a time a whole lot and have to reboot. Just to many problems for me, so I really need to go back to stock to get a new phone. I will prob just get a galaxy SII instead. I sure did like recording in 3d my 6 year old playing sports and such was cool , then watching it on our 73 inch 3d tv she loved it.

I'm confused now. what is best thing to do flash back stock rom or keep the custom rom.

Unless you have a reason to such as wanting to return the phone or when there is an update coming, I would keep the custom ROM.

Yeah, I would think you definitely need to flash stock recovery before updating. You might as well unroot while you're at it because that screws up updates on some phones too.

Ok Back to stock everything work perfect ............ waiting for updates

Unless you have heard of the update coming within the next day or two, I am going to keep Thriller on mine until I hear otherwise. No reason to flash back until the update is released.

thank you for this! worked wonderfully

Trouble pushing recovery.backup

For some reason when I try the thing after the su command it gives me that I cannot open the file for write. I have debugging mode turned on.
Can someone help?

[ODIN][N8013] Prerooted UEALH2 Firmware Package

This post contains a complete firmware update package for N8013 UEALH2. It is based off the Kies images dumped by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
It was rooted and the system image rebuilt using the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081239 - FYI partition size for N8013 is 1400M
The package is at http://d-h.st/8v0
This will give you a complete restore to stock UEALH2 plus root, without triggering the flash counter.
By complete, I mean EVERYTHING: Kernel, recovery, system, hidden/preload, cache will be returned to the same configuration as if you flashed UEALH2 via KIES - the only difference is root.
Use Odin to flash it.

Entropy will this my issues? Can you go take a look at my help thread and general and look at my picture of my download mode saying custom?
Sent from a Baked Black Jelly Belly

Entropy, will this work on my note even though i'm already running UEALH2? Got my update OTA last night before I had a chance to root it.
Also, if I'm able to use this and I root my device should I be wary about OTA in the future causing device malfunctions? In other words, what kind of update path should I follow in the future?
Sorry for the newb question. New to Samsung. Used to rooting and flashing and updating my old droid 2 global. Never did anything with my prime before I exchanged it for this and haven't done anything with my RAZR yet. I've kind of been flash cracker dormant for a while.

Probably, however to reset DL mode to not be custom you'll need my TriangleAway support kernel (for now - Chainfire is going to integrate support into his app by including a compatible kernel for temp-flashing to reset). Flash it, run TA, then flash this and you should be on bone-stock except root.
BTW, this is a COMPLETE package including stock kernel and recovery. Once Mobile Odin supports this device (I gave Chainfire the info he needs to support N80xx) you can flash CWM and any kernel you want from rooted stock like this.
As to OTAs - In the past, many OTAs could be deployed safely to rooted devices as long as you weren't using CWM. However, Samsung seems to have switched to special incremental OTAs that patch the current binaries, so if even one of them is modified in any way, the update will fail. Happened to a lot of users with the last OTA.
Eventually you'll probably see custom firmwares that are deodexed and have the update-related APKs removed so you won't get OTAs.

OK so flash the kernel via Odin ? I am on the old injected rooted tar will it be ok?

Hmm, if this fixes the S Pen on my tablet I'll be pleasantly surprised. If it's based on the image from jaaka, and ODINing that didn't fix the S Pen for me, would this be any different? I have the same issue as David, tried to root after taking the OTA and after installing CWM and rooting the S Pen stopped working. I've flashed the root injected stock image from zedo multiple times to no avail, and also the UEALH2 one from jaaka, as well as trying to update via Kies after installing the root injected stock image. Formatted data/cache and system too once, although flashing in ODIN should overwrite system completely, right?
Also, can we flash this in Heimdall? Or would you recommend against that?

I had weird issues when flashing with heimdall.
Try flashing this, wiping with STOCK recovery, and don't **** around with CWM until you're sure it's working.
Warning: I believe stock recovery is a full 100% wipe, including /sdcard (which is actually /data/media) - CWM takes measure to protect /data/media that might result in unclean wipes sometimes. This is why pershoot would always tell people to wipe in stock recovery if they had problems for example.

Alright, will do that then. Still waiting for it to finish downloading, seems like dev-host is not that fast unfortunately (or maybe I'm just spoiled by university internet and 4G). I did wipe with stock recovery once during my couple hours of trying to fix my tablet and it didn't seem to help. I probably won't try flashing CWM or rooting again for a while until I can get confirmation from others that it doesn't break the S Pen again. The thing I wanted to try (Screencast) worked but was somewhat unimpressive in terms of quality so I don't need to show it to the person I wanted to show it to (plus without S Pen it's less useful for my specific use case).

What about the site that the other guy used, http://www.peejeshare.com/ ?

ya i tried a lot too,
I also have tried every method in getting the pen to work, and always either get no touch screen or no pen.
I have tried wiping, different orders, flashing clockwork and wiping all in there.
NADA no pen
Shoulda of just waited to root til this came out officially.
I might have to throw in the towel if this tar doesn't work and and send it back after clearing the binary count.
Unless someone has another idea?

There are two versions. No prompt means that when you push one of the options it performs that task without a confirmation prompt. While prompt gives you that confirmation prompt.
DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU ARE USING A ROM, MOD OR WHATEVER THAT MODIFIES FRAMEWORK-RES.APK OR ANDROID.POLICY.JAR
YOU WILL EITHER SOFT BRICK THE PHONE OR REMOVE THE OTHER MODS/THEMES INCLUDED IN THOSE FILES

There are only a few lines to change in framework-res.apk. Follow that guide in the OP and you can modify your framework-res easily. Or if you haven't modified values/strings.xml or public.xml just copy those from my modded file and the images. Then just use my android.policy.jar and boom you are set. In fact once you get it done why don't you send it my way so I can try it out! :good:

Just made it a little easier for you :angel: Look at post 3 and you will find the files you can use that are already extracted for you.

I assume if my phone won't move past the yellow Sprint screen it's soft bricked? When I flashed the mod it gave me some message about installing stock recovery and I didn't go through with that, could that be the issue and more importantly, how do I get out of this? I'm pretty sure I didn't have anything else going on that should've caused this, I actually took my phone back to stock MDL and did the official update, no special ROM or anything then rooted and installed recovery.

I am not sure what that stock recovery message was. Which zip did you install and what is your build number in about phone? Download a stock Rom. Pull out framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar. Put them in the zip and flash. Or if you have a good backup restore only system.

Have a backup on my 64gb card which won't read in custom recovery, just pulled it and put it in the computer to move the files to a 32gb card and it's saying not formatted. Not freaking, yet but eeks!
Going to try the flashing. I really shouldn't mess with my phone late at night.
Missed the first part of your question. I flashed the odex hotspot mod, then the odex extended power menu mod (with prompt if it matters). After the second flash when I hit go back so I could reboot it said something to the effect of "this may restore stock recovery on reboot" and gave me the yes or no option. I hit no and it rebooted and that's when I realized there was a problem. This is the file I originally flashed to move me from MDL to MF9. bfeb51f4befc9f910dff1c6070f2d387aaac37de.update_SPH-L720_MDL_CSB_user_RP_to_MF9_CSB_user_RP.zip
These files I need to flash, can I get them from your stock rooted MF9?
Thank you for responding so quickly.
---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------
Well now it might be an issue with my computer because both my 64gb & 32gb are saying not formatted when I use the sd card reader and I know both have data on them. I've got to get one of these working or I won't have any way to get the files on my phone to be flashed.
This 64gb card has been nothing but trouble. When I get this straightened out I'm switching back to my 32gb!

Finally found an old 8gb card and loaded up your stock rooted MF9 ROM and just flashed it. (I was a little unclear about the framework-res and android.jar path and I assume you've rightly gone to bed lol).
I really appreciate your help. Going to reformat my 32gb card, do a fresh backup and learn from my mistakes. (i.e. don't mess with phone when it's late and you're tired from travelling all day.)

I'd love to see screenshot as a power menu item. Also maybe Blocking Mode.

SUCCESS!
How happy am I? Huh? (the answer is very)
After flashing your stock rooted MF9 (and sticking with the 8gb sd card) I re-flashed each mod but in separate sessions, just in case, and everything worked beautifully! (oddly enough I didn't get that stock recovery message this time and I wonder if it has anything to do with flashing from internal sd the first time and flashing from external sd this time?) I admit I was semi-close to panicking (did I mention I'm tired?) but I've learned it's best to keep a cool head and walk through the problem slowly. You guys provide such excellent tools all we have to do is use them properly.
I love the extended power menu. I've been using Quick Boot forever and it works great but I'm trying to tidy up my app drawer so it's lovely to be able to remove one more.
Thanks for everything you do and everything you provide. You were a phone saver! Now I'm going to bed before I figure out how to screw up anything else. :silly:
(oh, oddly enough, when I put my 64gb into the phone to check it out it works fine. The computer recognizes it and all my files are there. How weird is that? Still switching to my 32gb card though.)

Works like a charm, thank you! :victory:

Sph-l720t update (there are dozens of us...dozens!)

While I realize it is relatively few to SPH-L720, I wanted to make a thread specific for the update ending with NAF for the triband variant,
the SPH-L720T.
While you may argue there is already a thread for the update, most of the userss are L720 not L720T, so the questions from L720T users keep getting drown out by others.
First order of business, though it has been asked but it has gotten no reply that I am aware of, has anyone gotten the OTA for the triband variant?
If so, can it be uploaded and distributed? It will be interesting to see if all the problems such as the sd card and rooting are the same.

I have the "T" model, and no OTA for me thus far.
I have rooted and installed some xPosed apps, but no custom recovery or rom. I'm hoping for 4.4.2 this week or so

While you may argue there is already a thread for the update, most of the userss are L720 not L720T, so the questions from L720T users keep getting drown out by others.
First order of business, though it has been asked but it has gotten no reply that I am aware of, has anyone gotten the OTA for the triband variant?
If so, can it be uploaded and distributed? It will be interesting to see if all the problems such as the sd card and rooting are the same.

I also have a 720T and haven't received notification of the update. I actually kind of regret my purchase of the 720T. I waited about a month to buy the 720T instead of the 720 because I figured I might as well "future proof" my purchase, but it seems most of the 720 mods and such don't work on the 720T. And with the S5 coming out, I think we'll be left in the dust. (I hope I'm wrong. My last phone was the original Evo and I loved how many different mods/roms/etc that had.)

(I left off my last paragraph, oops) I'm sure we'll have the same issues with SD Cards since it's part of the new Android standard (or, newly enforced, at least) and root exploits would normally be fixed independent of the radios.

It's crazy that I haven't heard a single person on the 720T getting the update yet... has anyone done the google services framework clearing thing yet? I know it jacks stuff up but I'm thinking of trying it soon.

i tried it. no luck.

GOOD NEWS!
Following the advice hhere: http://www.androidcoliseum.com/2013/01/how-to-get-your-ota-update-faster.html
I got the update after the 5th try. If someone will help me to know where to find it on my phone I will upload it. It's 401.2 MB.
Yay! My phone is rooted ... and I have a custom recovery .... so the update may not work....but here's hoping!
Bleck my phone is at 18% so I have to charge it to be able to even try.

Found the file will be uploading soon

Click menu / settings / apps
swipe over to the "All" category
scroll down for Google Services Framework and click it
click "clear cache" and "clear data"
hit home
go into your dialer
type in: *#*#2432546#*#*
wait for the notification "checkin succeeded"
Now go and try checking for your update.
Just go to the application manager, clear the data for the google services framework, go to dialer to type in *#*#2432546#*#*, check for update, repeat.... I've got the file about 50% uploaded

Got it to work, but the update errored out. I'm rooted with xPosed running. I guess I'm gonna try a restore tonight

Thanks but I'm good now. Hey if anyone has problems installing it that rooted it and used the xposed app, you have to flash the xposed disabler in the root directory with a custom recovery, that fixed it for me. Finally, got my kitkat!
Crap, stuck at Sprint Spark Screen... getting Set Perm: Some changes failed
So I dont think its compelting so I'm getting stuck at the sprint spark screen
Well Im just going to go ahead and do a total factory reset and flash all stock firmware...I mean it sucks, but I've only had my phone for two weeks so not a ton of data I'm going to lose...

I uninstalled the Xposed framework from within Xposed, and it seemed to work. I just can not get the OTA to re-download now.

How are you flashing stock firmware? ODIN? Factory reset through phone?

Im about to do it through odin should be like a brand new phone at that point. I didn't have a ton of data, I backed it up, we'll see if it actually works though... lol all I want is to use tap and pay. Once I install it, Ill root it again and get where I can make a wifi hotspot for free and that's all I care about Just realized that download place sucks. Im uploading to dropbox right now
FINALLY! lol Got it working
I uploaded the update file, and it should be in your cache. Stock recovery can install from the sd card as well. So if you lost it for some reason I uploaded it a few posts above

OK...I got the 4.4.2 file and working on the 4.3 stock.
For ODIN, do I just connect and select the PDA opton? That's what I am reading.

[Q] Possible ROM Flash issue

So I'm currently trying to flash Liquidsmooth to my TMO N4, already rooted it and got TWRP. I went to install in recovery mode after wiping the partitions and chose the LS-LP-v4.0-2015-01-24-liquid_trltetmo.zip file but it hasn't been doing anything. It says its flashing the file but its been like this for a few hours and there's no progress on the download bar, was just checking to see if I could get any assistance.
I don't wanna risk turning off the phone during the flash to try and get back into recovery mode to run my nandroid backup unless absolutely necessary.

What exactly did you wipe.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

I wiped the cache, dalvik, data and system partitions like most guides say to.

Won't hurt anything to pull battery and try again. Just rewipe and try flashing again.
If it fails again. My suggestion would be to restore your nandroid, and verify the MD5 of the file you downloaded.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

I was hesitant in pulling the battery to avoid bricking the phone but if that's the only way. I was told the download might have been bad but I don't see how considering it downloaded fine and the size fits. I might try a different rom and see if that changes anything.

I would odin back to stock and start over. Make sure reactivation lock is not checked off .
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Alright, I'll probably try that once my phone finishes restoring my backup. Just to be sure since I seemed to have gotten some mixed info, does the latest LiquidSmooth ROM support Lollipop 5.0.1 or is the latest download on the forums still for KitKat? I was thinking I might have to switch to the CMremix ROM instead.
Thanks for all the help so far by the way.

I be honest I don't know anyone who flashed that rom . I think it is still in beta side of things. Best bet would be to ask in the thread about flashing issues.

Ok so that is running on 4.4.4. If u already updated ur baseband and firmware that won't work. Stick with offical stock and check and use it. Make sure ur good then flash but not that rom. U would have to revert. My 2 cents it not worth it going all the back and forth.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Thanks, a least now I know what the issue most likely was. Finished the restore and checked my system, gonna rewipe the partitions then try and flash CMremix since its said to be supported.
