Hey guys, new to the forum but been lurking around and trying different roms, it's my first time using TWRP and I want to flash back to stock. It seems like every time I try to flash it's telling me it's failed.

I just did that and did a full wipe. It's still saying failed, I can't seem to find out what's the problem. Only having issue flashing to stock but everything else seems to be fine.
good luck with that. best thing I can suggest is try some different button combos. try a different order of operations some how. in twrp, full wipe, system reset, then reboot back into recovery, another wipe /reset and then flash. that's the extent of my knowledge. you said you redownloaded the stock files to flash...maybe find a different place to download it from, could have downloaded a bad file twice?
Are you using the one from the wiki? I just tried it with TWRP 2.5.0.0 and it worked fine.

Yeah that's where I downloaded the file and I'm also using TWRP v2.5.0.0
I don't really know how to take a screenshot in recovery but I'll type in what it says.

Hope this helps. Also when I try to flash peach sunrise, it's also giving me the same problem! Is there an alternative way to flash2stock?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you for you time guys.
You are probably going to have to use Odin to flash stock. It is in the wiki.
If you do need it, I posted a copy of Odin for our phone in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307264
You should probably try to Odin flash TWRP first and see if that fixes it.

I've flashed using Odin before a while ago when my phone was bricked. I'll have to read this over again and give it a shot. I'll let you know if I need help, thank you so much for your time meek! I appreciate it, I'll let you know how it goes after flashing TWRP with Odin.
Reset your TWRP settings, also, try downloading with a different browser and try under linux. Some browsers and anti-virus have issues with android files and delete them without warning.
Thank you so much for your help guys! I got it to work by flashing using Odin. I'm having a little bit of an issue though, every time my phone dies it starts having problems with the external memory. Like for example, my phone dies and I try to open my camera it'll tell me "not enough space blah blah" and when I try to change the settings through the camera, it just force closes. Not only for the camera, also other apps that need external storage like waze. It won't let me use the GPS because there's no memory. Mind you, I have a 16gb sd card in the phone. Any fix for this situation?
Using AOIP Linaro ROM btw. I couldn't post at the original thread because of my low post count so I'm hoping I get some help here.
Thanks you guys for the help! I really appreciate it.

So I was trying to troubleshoot an SMS issue with AOSP 1.6 so I decided to flash back to Fresh 1.0. I also performed a wipe/factory reset. Fresh would not boot - it would just endlessly loop through the boot process, crashing at various points. I tried Fresh 1.1. Same problem. I re-downloaded Fresh 1.0 to make sure my file was not corrupt, flashed that, and have the same problem.
So I decided to start trying to recover from my various backups. What do you know - every single one is corrupt. From adb I see:
Code:
Verifying backup images...
boot.img: OK
cache.img: OK
data.img: FAILED
misc.img: OK
recovery.img: OK
system.img: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 2 of 6 computed checksums did NOT match
On every single one. Even if I make a backup and immediately try to restore it I see this error. I also tried backups of my backups and each of those failed as well. Any way to force these to restore?
So I checked my SD card with various tools - no problems found.
So now I'm left unable to flash 1.5 or restore from or make any backups.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong or what I should do to fix it? What other information could I provide?
honestly I would try to RUU and reroot and then try flashing a backup it may not be that the backups are corupt put that something isnt letting it read that part of the backup correctly.

Have you tried to use the RUU to return to complete sock and then just re-root? The RUU does not depend on your SD card, just in case that is the culprit. There is a link on my sig. If not that would be my next step.

no this has been brought up a few times you need to make sure you have the most recent sdk installed then copy and paste the adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll and the fastboot.exe into the ruu file then try again.

+1 on this,
Someone should update the ruu thread to include this.
Installed the adb driver (no, I didn't have it previously) and copied the files from the latest SDK. No luck still but I'm going to keep trying.
you could also try booting into fastboot and trying it who knows it might be becuase you are in recovery just poer off and hold volume down and power at the same time to get into fastboot and try it that way.

That did it! Flashing now! Thanks!
EDIT: Maybe I spoke too soon. The flasher is stuck at "erasing user data..." and is showing 0% and the phone is showing the htc boot screen. I don't know if it's safe to cut it off and start over or not.
Windows had to increase virtual memory in the middle of the operation and I think it jacked things up ....
np glad to help.
Yea ... it seems to be getting stuck on "Erasing user data...." not sure what to try next.
unfortunatly thats the extent of the knowledge that I have I would try contacting gbhil or toast or fresh or one of the other devs to see what they say.

That really sucks.
same thing
The same thing happened to me when i tried to flash gumbo 1.5c. I flashed RUU and then re-rooted that resolved my issue..
Turns out my problem was that I was trying to flash the RUU from a virtual machine. I'm used to being able to flash WM roms from a Windows VM but apparently it doesn't work with the Android tools. I could also not use the auto-rooter from the VM.
I had to track down a Windows machine () and then was able to get everything flashed and running without too much trouble.
Thanks for everyone's help on this. My phone is now back up and running and I was able to confirm the problem I was having: AOSP 1.6 radio is incompatible with the airave and will cause you to not be able to send SMS messages.

If you did a master clear it deleted everything on your /sdcard volume... so of course it isn't finding an update.zip package there =P
if your recovery is black screen w blue letters, That is samsung recovery.

I can get to samsung recovery, but when I click reinstall packages it fails if there isn't an update.zip file in the /sdcard directory.
I poked around the clockworkmod update.zip and found out it deletes the /cache/recovery/update.zip and installs a modified /sbin/recovery; among other things, but I think those are the files that are most important to me right now, are those files not restored by Odin?
btw I'm new to android but I'm a linux admin and programmer so I have a basic understanding of how this works, now to just dig deeper and find out where it's going wrong.
Odin will wipe everything on your NAND clean, this does not include the /sdcard area (internal Sdcard)
Doing a master clear wipes everything including your internal sd (so if you had already had a clockwork backup it would have gotten wiped as well)
Rom Manager/Clockwork creates a folder on your /sdcard called /sdcard/clockwork, and within that folder all of your images are stored. Clockwork uses and update.zip file to install itself on boot up (through stock recovery)
I'm not entirely sure what answer you're looking for though, so I figured I'd just lay out a few facts in hopes that one of them might help
Thanks for the reply, I know the basics of how clockworkmod/nand work. What I'm trying to do is restore my phone to factory condition, Odin restores everything except the recovery manager, for some reason I'm stuck with the modified recovery that needs an update.zip. Before I made any changes, when my phone was new, if I booted into recovery and selected reinstall packages it would run the default att/samsung recovery program and reinstall default packages(as far as I can remember, please tell me if I'm just imagining this, ive been flashing and reflashing my phone countless times so I could be really confused), thats what I wan't to happen, now it just gives me the error:
e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip.

Just so I understand. You go to recovery and it tries to install an update.zip without you doing anything? This isn't normal.
I'd do another odin and a master clear. That really should do it.

No, he is saying that when he first got the phone it used to reinstall the stock packages when he selected reinstall packages. Now it doesn't and instead just says it can't find update.zip. He just wants to make sure that on a stock recovery it's not supposed to install anything when he selects reinstall packages.
If you did a master clear and have not manually put an update.zip file back into the root of the sdcard, then you will always get that message because the file does not exist. If you ran the 1 click odin and restored the phone, then you are back to stock. No further actions necessary.

I've done a few master clears using odin. It's not trying to install an update.zip without me doing anything, the way I remember it on the stock phone when you select reinstall packages it will reinstall the default att packages, am I wrong about this?

You are wrong about this. Selecting reinstall packages tells the phone to look for an update.zip file.

Lol Jeez with all the hard issues we get around here it's the simple questions that confuse the crap out of us
Thread moved to Q&A.
my sister's tab freezes this morning with no response, I restarted it manually but it started to give me many Force Close errors. I thought the factory reset will fix it but nothing happens I tried everything.
wiping the data, doing factory reset and flashing the stock firmware, it says that the format is successful but it won't delete or format any thing from the tab it always gives me the same errors, and it boots again to the old firmware.
Please help me everything I do is like I'm doing nothing it refuses to delete or format anything.
Thank you
which firmware is the tab ? is it rooted ? You might need to reinstall a new ROM. I suggest Overcome ROM. http://www.teamovercome.net. There is a detailed guide on how to install their latest ROM called "Kratos".
Or just go to the development section of this forum and search "Kratos".
Good luck. I hope this helps.

every thing went fine but after the booting i get so many force closes then I end up with the old firmware with all the Apps and the settings, believe me every firmware I flash goes without any errors but when I load up the system everything is the same even her wallpaper. I know it's weird but Please I really need help !
EDIT : I tried to flash Froyo back the flash process went fine but after boot i got the same Force Close errors with my settings and my applications the same but the system is Froyo.
What I want to say that it successfully flashed the firmware but there is something prevent it from format or wipe the data and the internal memory.
I hope you find a solution.
Something is not clear to me here. Is the situation you describe above happens right after the GB stock-safe is flashed ? Or when Kratos is installed?
Another thing: Make sure partition is checked when flashing the pit file.
Other than this. I suggest to post your problem in the Overcome Kratos Development section with all the steps taken and I'm sure some Devs will help you out fast.

I started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g870aucu1aoa1-4-4-4-2-7-2015-t3025119
I accidentally flashed the second Kernel first and the then my phone wouldn't boot, just boot-looped to to the recovery, I tried to do a factory reset/wiped, but still had same issue, then I factory reset/wiped and then cleared the cache. Same issue. I have tried updating to stock 5.1.1 roms, 4.4.2 roms, stock rooted roms, I have tried to just about everything I can find online. I either get failures ranging from the following:
I'm trying to get my phone working again by flashing the stock firmware with odin3 (tried 3.9 and 3.10) but it fails every time and gives me the error "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1" while in download mode..

I have also tried this: http://www.droidviews.com/fix-status-7-error-while-installing-ota-update-or-roms/
since I was getting a status 7 error, but then I got another error after that (error is sideload package)
I can get to Custom OS download function and I can get to the boot recovery.
I honestly don't care if this phone is rooted or not, stock rom or not, but I need to get it back up and running, please help, Samsungs are new to me.
***UPDATE***
I just wanted to let everyone know that after about 30 different files, some through Odin, some through Recovery I finally got one to install and fix my AOS. The file that finally didn't fail to load in Recovery was Here: www androidfilehost com / ?w=search&s=g870a <--Add in the dots and remove the spaces, and make it a secure website.
It was more specifically G870A_OF3_tJ3_OTA.zip, it did fail something at the end of the recovery but it stayed on the screen for less than a second so I didn't see what failed but my phone is working now.
Hopefully one of those files will help someone else out.

I have tried using ODIN to no success. Keeps failing every time I try to flash Stock Rom. I have tried probably 4 different stock..... Nothing. I have tried what you sugested, no succes. Can someone please help me get my phone out of Limbo..... SM-G870A PLEASE!!!

Im in the same boat. Trying the files from OP first. Hopefully one works. I presume we need to move the OP zip file to the sd card on the phone, and update from recovery mode on the phone?
I just got a SM-G870A from a buddy of mine, he says he made the same mistake as the OP. Tried going from PB3 to NE4. He says he tried Odin flashing system images, kernels, and bootloader.
The system recovery says OC5.
Do I need to walk my flashes up OC5-OF2 - OF2-OF3 - OF3-OJ3 to fix this soft brick??
Thank you Chosenbc!!!!!!!!!!!! after several days (more than 5 weeks) I could unbrick my SM-G870A and this was possible all because of you and who uploaded the working Rom. Thank you, thank you thank you! for making this post!

So I just was trying to backup everything in recovery and it starts up fine and starts saying md5 blah blah, then fails every time. Says failed to mount data, invalid argument. ..I was doing this in preparation for flashing the new rom you ported (v3) already did a titanium backup and saved to my drive, just trying to make life easier just in case.

You need to format your data in twrp or change your syorage location to ext sd not internal
Thanks to Zach ?
is there an md5 for the zip? Think I am already to give it a try but need to make sure it downloaded correctly.

(Notexperience v3)..No dice.Like I said it says they flash successfully both, but no luck. The one caleb said at least installs the app and u see it in the app drawer. I'm at am empasse
what is the md5, you should put it on first page, would help rule out problems installing.

bad idea will make the boot slower in TWRP and plus its runnning t-mobile lastest update so you should be good!
I hope you are confused. You can write the numbers of the md5 of the zip you uploaded on the first page, not adding one for twrp to check, but so that people can still use a checker before they try to install it and say you messed something up when it was just a bad download
