Older post I know but I'm hunting for a stock out of the box md7 flash, that gives ALL the stock, including no root, boost boot startup logo and shutdown logo and sounds, stock recovery.....everything as if it was out of the box, in case I EVER need to take it in or send it in to Samsung.
So JD this is for you mainly (or anyone else that's tried it)....you said the combo tar file works......so I am assuming of coarse it does workfor what I am looking for, IE: (the list above), boost logo, stock recovery...etc..etc..and also resets the triangle counter? Also does this one format the sdcard....if so I'll remove, it....I may remove it anyways just to be safe.
I ask for a reason....I've tried the back to md7 link and done the root tar file, then followed the direction to use triangle to reset the counter, then un-root via superSU, and that worked well, except one thing......I had the sprint shutdown logo. Being that it's boost mobile, they more than likely will send it in to Samsung, or tell me to, in which case Samsung will definitely pick up on that.
I am looking for out of the box, boost mobile status, no counter, no triangle, all boost mobile sounds and logos on boot and shutdown, stock recovery, stock apps, etc..etc...
I didn't try the combo tar file, as it said be careful and did not want to really mess something up with it saying that it formatted a bunch of partitions, so I just used the old standby thought process of "if you don't know what it does, do not mess with it" thinking. This is why I'm asking because you said you tried it, or at least you said it works, and from that I'm guessing you tried it already.
