Hi All,
I just wanted to come back to complete 100% warranty from my current rom using CWM flashable zip file. Even after reading so many forums, I couldn't find an all-in-one thread which contains a guide to regain 100% warranty including reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0 and stock recovery. I hope you find this handy.
We have so many threads to reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0, but it is also very much necessary to have the Stock Samsung Recovery to claim your warranty. Although you still can enjoy the full root access but if you want to unroot then you can simply use Superuser app settings menu.
Because we need to claim warranty when there is some major issue in the handset or our system has got corrupted and we cant reboot anymore. Then we can go to CWM and flash any rom but to go to service center we need to remove CWM.

Hey what about device status? after doing this method it will be custom or official? nd can we get update from software update?
another very important item for warranty is your original CSC. Example if you flash Russian 4.2.2 firmware your CSC becomes SER. You have to be sure that this is also changed when you go back to stock firmware OF YOUR REGION example India will be INU. Connect your grand to kies and check for the correct CSC before going to service to claim warranty,
I would also like to add that before flashing anything on your device to check and note your original CSC. Believe me this is most of the time checked by the service staff....

Right. That procedure is same as youtube cursed4eva method.
I believe there is no way to get back to stock without using odin more so if on 4.2.2
can I root the phone & then flash this stock recovery again to receive system updates & still keep root privileges?
Works with I9082L version ? Thanks !
Nice One :fingers-crossed:
does this method works with 4.2.2?
I believe even Xposed works...
bro.when i install stock recovery it shows installation aborted.what to do now
reply asap.!!!
It doesn't works with 4.2.2

flashing error
can not flash it on my i9082 , rooted with cwm recovery
every time it says installation aborted
so please fix it
I am using CM 10.1 4.2.2 and want to go back to the stocked version. Please help to confirm the following -
1. Can I simply flash the leaked 4.2.2 samsung firmware on top of CM10.1 ? Any issues / caution steps ? Any links / procedure will be helpful. Also is this leaked firmware having any known issues ?
2. Will #1 remove the root privilege ?
3. Can i simply re root as i ddi earlier (want to remove the bloatwares)?

I was able to successfully flash to stock 4.2.2. Thanks for all who helped !
Reiterating once more for others who stumble on this thread (Details India , prior on CM10.1 (4.2.2) )-
1. Download the stock 4.2.2. form sammobile.
2. Flash using odin 3.7
2.1 Extract the tar.md5 file and load it in PDA.
2.2 Flash
3. On reboot stuck with the boot (keeps displaying the samsung logo) . wont let me go in recovery !
3.1 Force poweroff (removed battery)
3.2 Start using [volume up][home][power] button to go in recovery
3.3 do a factory wipe / data reset
4. Bravo !! Enjoy
feedback - As off now working like charm, UI though could have been better. But I will say better than 4.1.1 stock !
tip - use atom launcher + clock widget from Cm10.1 (available on XDA somewhere)
Thanks !
Hello, i have a brand new GT-I9195 and before to root it or flash CM i have document myself but not enough i presume ...
I've rooted it following instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43622999 -> thanks arco68 for this BTW
Then i performed a NAND backup with CWM and finally flashed CM, downloaded from CyanogenMod website !
After that i decided to restore my CMW NAND backup, wiping cache, dalvik cache, data & data/media before doing so -> i restored only boot and system partitions -> OK but that's not want i want ...
I would like to get rid of CMW by flashing back Samsung stock ROM for the moment, here are the details about my firmware :
AP : I9195XXUAMF7
CP : I9195XXUAMF7
CSC : I9195BOGAMF5
I thought that i would be able to download it via Kies but my restored NAND backup still features root access and it seems that it broke any maintenance procedure via Kies ... so i went to SAMMOBILE website with the idea to download a suitable firmware for my device and then flash it back via odin or heimdall ... but it is not available this website
Now here are my questions :
-> Can i get Kies support again by unrooting my device ? If yes ... how to use Kies to download the FW and to flash it ? and how to unroot my device ?
-> If not where can i find a suitable firmware and how to flash it back ... odin ? heimdall ? something else ... ? (i've posted a message on SAMMOBILE website in case they can provide this FW to the community)
Thank you for your answers,
Kind regards

OK, i've flashed back the official Samsung ROM through Kies (and backed it up in case someone else needs it); since a suitable ROM was not available for download over the Internet, i played with Kies ... and won ! Below are the steps i performed to do this ... with some luck ...
-> step 1 : reset to factory from the android menu ... at this point, i've just restored ny NAND backup and the phone warns me all the time about the root status which is still enabled ... (Kies refuse to update the firmware of my device and that's the only way i have right now ...)
-> step 2 : back to android , still with root status warnings ... the recovery is still CMW !
-> step 3 : Kies updated => i connect my cellphone to my PC and from the Kies welcome window, i see that Kies lets me update the firmware if i want to ... let's do so (the reset to factory seems to be usefull here ... i have a little doubt about this because just before i tried again to flash my cellphone through Kies, Kies updated itself ! I'm just writing down the steps i followed)
-> step 4 : firmware updated through Kies and backed up, just in case ...
-> step 5 : reset to factory from the android menu again in order to check if CWM is still there => no more CWM ! Now my device is running stock Samsung ROM ... no more root privileges or CWM !
PS : The phone does not accept OTA updates anymore ...

I'm gonna start messing around with my i9195 (DBT) and was thinking about using this if I wanna come back to stock:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9195
Is this useless or it can be used p.e. if I need to send it to warranty?

I'm not an expert but from what i've read over the Internet, if you flash something through odin (recovery, custom ROM and so on ...), when you'll be back to stock ROM by flashing an official ROM through any available way (Kies, odin, heimdall, ...) you'll note that in every case, the OTA firmware update feature is not available anymore (if you check for updates, you'll have the following message : "Your phone has been modified, updates are not available anymore")
In case you have to RMA your phone, there is no doubt that the manufacturer will know you flashed your device and i don't really know the exact warranty policy of Samsung company about this ...
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong ...
With that said, is it really important to have the OTA feature ? From my point of view if it is possible to preserve or restore this feature after playing with flashing the device ... it's a good point but if someone could clarify this please, it would be great !
From what i've read over here and there ... :
-> Kies : official but may brick your phone during FW update process and if so, device is hard to revive ... (i used it because my phone's ROM was not available for direct download in order to flash it trough odin ...)
-> odin : easy and reliable
Regards
PS : thank you for the weblink tintol, i noticed that my FW is now available for direct download ... good to know :thumbup:

Guess you're right, everybody seems to say that it's impossible to go back to full stock.
I've been away from Samsung since gingerbread on S2, but back then we could easily revert to stock and get OTA updates.
I don't mind losing OTA, it's just for RMA purposes. I think I'll wait a few days before messing with it, just to see if there's nothing faulty.
From my experience, HTC knew I messed with my One X and they repaired the screen within the warranty. Not sure if samsung is that kind.

i do al step and flash stock rom but resul same
pro blem solved by my self i upgrading 4.4 thats why problem when i downgrade 4.3 than its works like chorm
To cut it short; let me describe what i've done to my victim RIO-L01
1- I was on RIO-L01B321C185D005 (6.0.1) (Middle East CUST version)
2- I used Firmware Finder application to update to RIO-L01B330C185D005 (OTA, 505 Megabytes) and it was updated successfully.
3- I found another B340C185D005 (OTA, about 167 Megabytes) and i installed it successfully.
4- Next, i thought to do a refresh to my phone by installing B330 again (Full Package, 1.3 GB) but it wasn't successful (i guess because it is a downgrade)
5- I flashed (using fastboot Boot.img, Recovery.img, System.img Successfully) B321C185D005 again and i said let's start from the beginning! And here is when i messed things up.
6- The B340 Updated the CUST version, but when i flashed the B321 didn't update the CUST so now i cannot receive any OTA updates or even use the Stock UPDATE.APP and Stock Recovery to restore any version.
Now, what i need is to restore everything back to it's original state.
Stock ROM (I'll Accept any version )
Stock Recovery
Stock CUST
Here is my current System with ProjectMenu:

I had the same issue with yours, but a little different.
I've installed C636B320 and forgot to create a backup then I've installed a custom rom and since no backup was created for the stock rom, I cannot go back to it's original state and manually flashing C636B10 works with some hiccups.
Here's what I did.
I went to the bootloader/fastboot section of the device and erased my system, recovery, boot, and userdata partitions and took my phone to a service center. I got my board replaced for free since it's under warranty.
Board replacement is only applicable if they will not be able to revive your phone by reinstalling any stock rom that they have. Don't worry they will not find out that you've unlocked your bootloader since they cannot access it via Volume Down+Power Key, it's not working for MM roms.
It sounds like a big hasssle, but it works!
Unfortunately, I've completed my warranty period. This means that i'll pay a lot to change the board. I think I only have 2 last hopes... First, is to get a new official update, which will be a higher version of the current CUST. Second, is to get an image of a similar phone with original cust and replace mine..
