Root [International] Selling my S3 - how to reset to default?

[alec92]

Hi guys,

Currently running an Omega ROM on my S3 but I've just upgraded to a Note 3 and was wondering how to reset the S3 to default firmware + settings etc before selling it?

Cheers

Hi as you're clearly familiar with flashing and more than like Odin... have a look here -> Firmwares | SamMobile You'll need to locate your device and carrier, simply download the file (you'll need to be a member) and flash via odin. This will put a stock rom back on, and will remove root and your custom recovery.

Thanks mate, but unfortunately I've got slow internet (50kb/s) and my browser is telling me there is 1 day+ left to download the 1.1GB file. My internet sometimes disconnects so it will be near impossible for me to download this file!

Does anyone know of any other websites you can download from? Perhaps a torrent file...

Much appreciated.

Not sure about a torrent. If you post an exact link to the file you want I'll download and upload it to box for you.
P. S do you get the yellow triangle while the phone boots?

I'd just sell it rooted and not mess about with trying to reset it to stock. Unless there is a reason to do it.

Hi mate,

That would be awesome! The link is this one..
Firmwares | SamMobile | Page 3

I don't get the Yellow triangle when booting so that's all good.

Got any hotels or fast food restaurants around? You could try going to one and sit in the parking lot and use free WiFi.

Move this to the International ATR section.

Ps I love this new browser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksmobile.cb for downloading big files. If connection breaks, the download just pauses so you just go into the browser, hit downloads and resume the download from where it left of. It's a great browser too

 

[alec92]

Thanks for your help, funkylogik - look forward to hearing from you shortly. Damn our slow internet connection here!!

Even if its uploaded to dropbox, the file will still take an ages wont it dues to your internet connection?

 

[funkylogik]

Dropbox's servers are faster and more stable i think mate :thumbup:

You're a legend mate, much appreciated. I downloaded it last night using a Download Manager and your link.

Have a great weekend!
