Yes you can You can install the root via stock recovery, Just flash the file as an update.zip (You may need to rename it)
Someone else here had the same concern. Think it's somewhere in this mess of threads..

i have the flickering- korean-cwm problem, means i can not use CWM to root my tab. Would a factory reset bring me back the Samsung recovery ?
Edit: even a factory reset is not possible, when i try to do that i have to type my Samsung-account password but it doesnt work, because there is no Samsung account ID.

You dont need cwm to root the tab. Cwm is there to ceate a backup and flash. You however need to unlock the tab and use either the odin method or the cwm method to flash root

Only time I've seen this password issue its when not wiping/clearing everything.
happened to me personally once when I missed a step going back to stock. I've seen it happen to a few people who later confirmed they forgot to wipe data.

Yes, this was the problem
i did indeed a factory reset from the running system, but after reboot everything was the same except the samsung account.
now a managed, thanks to my DSLR, to navigate through the menu of CWM.
The factory reset worked this time. Hoped it would bring HC 3.1 back but after the F-Reset i had 3.2

Glad to see I actually helped. Great to see you got mostly where you wanted even more.
I was just slammed in another thread for legitimately trying to help someone nobody was helping yet, by the person I was trying to help with finding a simple app to run and was feeling pretty low. So you've just helped me more than I probably helped you. Thanks.

[Q] help needed, replaced build.prop and phone won't start up now (past boot)

(sorry to the other thread owner as I didn't realize I was in the i9300 forum when I posted my reply asking for similar help)
*** this is a repost from the post I made on androidcentral, with a suggestion made by dmmarck over there ***
Ok, yes it seems I made a mistake and I'm new to this, so apologies. But I tried going in and changing build.prop (specifically ro.camera.sound.forced=0 to get the camera to go quiet when the phone was set to silent) and when I rewrote the file into the system, I ended up with a phone that won't go past the 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' screen into the Sprint boot. I searched around and found that my SBF might be trashed, but at this point I'm unsure as to how to get it reloaded properly.
I am able to get into the recovery (up volume, home button, power button), and may have made a further mistake by formatting the /system. Unfortunately, I didn't make a backup using that utility until AFTER the build.prop problem, so even though I tried to recover using the recovery I made (after the problem), it is understandably not working.
Am I totally screwed or is there a way to get me back? Any help is greatly appreciated.
// dmmarck and paul627g over on androidcentral think if I can get a good samaritan to help me by posting a nandroid backup of their stock L710 setup, I should be able to recover without issues, would anyone here be able to help me?

Yes! Thank you for pointing me there, I found that a little bit ago and tried it a couple of times, unfortunately, the bootloader doesn't seem to be broken, so this didn't help me.

hey now, I appreciate what it takes to get to a fix, but I am in a bit of a pickle with this being my only phone and I am new to Android, so what may be a fix is still an exciting bit of news.
I appreciate that this is not the same as an OEM ROM now (with help from here and from android central), so I'm learning. I also understand that this is a problem that I caused by not doing my basic backups as I would any other software work, so please don't misunderstand and think that I am not understanding of what the timeline realistically will be to get to a fix.
Can't you edit the prop build on your recovery and flash it back?

quite possibly, but the recovery was made from the messed up/non-working version, so I'm not sure if that works or not... any thoughts?
I have a solution for you. Ask someone who has a GS3 to make a nandroid, copy it to your sd card and flash it. Viola you should have everything back to normal.
*warning*
Some might deny your request because certain personal information being stored in a nandroid such as gmail accounts, contacts,passwords, ect.

Yes! Thanks! This is the route that we're moving forward on in the androidcentral forums. We're thinking a FACTORY RESET/CACHE/DALVIK WIPE usin CWM will help to remove personal info as best as possible for any kind soul who does this.
I'm pretty sure someone will help you. I would have if i had a gs3(waiting for local stores to get them). I hope everything go well for you.
Come to think of it, couldn't you just factory reset your phone and it will be stock again?

By going into stock recovery mode you can factory reset it. It's the same steps to get into CWM.
And if all else fail, root your phone using the odin method by getting into download mode, you'll have CWM recovery and you can factory reset using that.

hmm, I think I'm missing something because I don't have the factory recovery now that CWM is installed (or am I incorrect here?). And I'm not sure if I can get back to the factory reset options now in the state that I'm in.
As far as the odin method, I am already rooted, I'm not sure how I can use CWM recovery to factory reset at that point..
Apologies again as I am new to android and trying to learn! I appreciate you're help!
Yes, you don't have stock recovery because you're rooted. And if you're able to get into CWM you should be able to get your phone back to normal.
In CWM there's a option to wipe data(factory reset), but wiping data to cure your problem is experimental meaning idk what might happen when/if you do.

How about unrooting ?
Using this method

then going to stock recovery.
Before doing any of this first try using the nandroid somebody might provide for you.

Well if he factory reset and erased the system he has no ROM to reset back to?

[Q] [Solved] i717 rooted but cannot flash any ROM

I have an AT&T Note that I rooted using the Odin method. I was running stock ICS and I know the root worked because I was able to install Google Now and it worked fine.
So I decided I wanted to try a different ROM. I just wanted to install bigfau's cleaned up stock rom found here. I put the zip file on my phone, booted into CWM, did a wipe, found the zip, said it installed fine and then I rebooted. At boot it just sits at the Samsung screen. I let it sit for 30 minutes, still nodda.
So I grab odin and flash back to stock ICS. Use the same method to root and I try a different ROM. This time the Pure Stock ICS from bigfau, same problem.
Odin back to stock, root, and I try parandoidandroid found here - same problem.
Do it all again and try a ROM from another site called HYFR Only One, which is a SGS3 based rom. Same deal.
The only thing I can get it to do is ODIN to stock. Am I missing something?
(I have another rooted galaxy note that I do not have any issues with flashing roms but it was already rooted when I got it.)

Rooted has nothing to do with flashing a ROM, having CWM or TWRP will give you the cap to flash a ROM.
I have used these Recovery types for flashing:
Touch CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
After you have CWM of some type ensure you are doing a clean wipe, this is how I perform my wipes:
1. Download to sdcard
2. Reboot to CWM-based Recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe Cache partition
5 Go into advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Go into> Mounts & Storage
a. Format /data
b. Format /system
c. Format /cache
Install rom & Reboot
After the first boot up let it sit for a few min to build...then do your set ups.
btw there is a Q&A section.

I apologize if I did not make this clear but I have Rom Manager installed and CWM was updated to the latest version. I would reboot into CWM, do a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik caceh, install rom and reboot. It would just sit at the samsung screen. I did not go into mounts and storage and do that but I will now. The process I use on my AT&T note is the same process I used on my Rogers note and I am able to install any ROM i want on my rogers note.
I have flashed roms probably over 100 times since my samsung captivate. I just didn't know if the note had another step involved. Like S-Off on HTC phones for example.
I have been using the standard version of cwm but I am trying the touch version now. Will update.
Same problem. I am uploading a video to youtube now. I will post in a minute or so.
did you check if bootloader is unlocked?

Animatechnica - It is my understanding that the bootloader is not locked on the Galaxy Note. I have not seen anything about unlocking the bootloader in any thread on the i717.
elry567 - do not have busy box installed - never saw anything requiring it to be installed. I will try that as well.
Well this time I got a status 7 error in CWM which can be a lot of different things. I am up to date on CWM, the rom I know works for the galaxy note (I am running it on my other one AND I have seen video of it working on an AT&T branded Note) so I don't know. I did a google search on the error and everything I found does not seem to apply. It is really starting to piss me off. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the video, sorry about my cam skills but you get the gist. I took this video with a i717r that is running the rom I want to install on the phone in the video.
Are you entering recovery with the phone off then using the buttons, or flashing from rom manager?
You should be doing it by the button method.

Done both, doesn't seem to make a difference. I will definitely use the button method from here on out though.
Try using TWRP? It seems CWM doesn't want to work for you, so try using TWRP instead.

HOLY F&(%*&G $&!t twrp may have worked. I had to go full back to 100% stock with 3e recovery and 0 flash counter. Use a new root method, flash twrp via goo app and so far so good.
Seriously I do not know who you are but I could kiss you. I wonder why CWM wouldn't work? I have used it to load custom roms on just about every other android phone I have had.
OH well, consider this solved.

Reinstalling Entire Phone

Hi xda developers members,
I'm currently trying to reinstall my phone back to stock with just the stock files and nothing else, can anyone tell me how I would go about this? I just want the phone cleared of all apps and other files as I want a fresh start with it.
Galaxy is currently running Jellybean 4.1.1 rooted.
Thanks.

Unfortunately the OS is rooted. Is that an issue?
EDIT: Thanks for the information, so if I reset the phone via Settings > Back Up or Reset > Factory Data Reset. This will wipe all the apps, files and the root off my phone and just leave me with the OS?
nope -
run triangle away first if you want to reset the counter
then flash a stock ROM firmware from sammobile.com - use ODIN to flash it.
then full wipe through recovery
should all be stock then....

I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to all this stuff so bare with me on this!
1. Why would I want to reset the counter?
2. I don't mind the device being rooted, I just want all the files and apps gone, I wouldn't mind if it was just the OS and the rooted files. Would that be done if I did the Factory Data Reset?
Thanks.
Oh right, yeah, if you still want root just do a factory reset

Cheers mate, much appreciated. I've just done as you've said and it's worked, hooray!
Now one more question if I may. At the moment, when I go and check for an update, it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
This is a pain, as I don't want to loose my root, but I want to be able to update I guess, anyway to bypass this?
Im afraid not. You can still update through kies I think, but youll lose root.
The choice is basically root or ota updates..
Easiest thing to do is flash any new firmwares using ODIN then reroot using CF Root..
Or use custom roms..

Fair enough, suppose we can't have it all!
So when the next Jellybean update comes out, I just download the firmware from SamMobile, and flash it via ODIN. Sounds easy enough!
Thanks for all the help mate, once again it's much appreciated. Enjoy your evening.
Yep, thats correct.

There is a function in the Samsung Kies Called "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" which is located in the Tools of the Samsung Kies 2.5.0.
Fill in the information it requires and follow the instructions.
It will repartition your phone and install the new pure firmware just like it is a new phone.

I'm assuming you have a P7510 as I have no idea what a P7010 is. However, that's probably unimportant.
If your tablet is that unstable, I'd install stock along with wiping data and cache. Don't reinstall any applications. If that doesn't make it stable, it would seem to be a broken device.

Sammobile.com has every stock rom you need, what you have to do is to flash the factory recovery e3 again and factory reset with the factory recovery, then flash cwm or twrp and your ROM again. Do not install any apps until your sure that it's fixed, if so, install the apps one by one and if something messes up, you know who the culprit is

Not every tablet is the same i think i belong to the lucky one

Is my S5830i destined for the bin?

Ok to cut a long story short I've had to send my HTC One back off for repair so it will be away for a week or so, so I still have a GT-S5380i that I was given from my dad as a spare, thought what the hell last night and decided to flash a custom rom to make it at least a little bit better than it is as stock. So I spotted Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM and followed the guide on how to root and install clockwork mod, which was fine then flashed the rom, that seemed to go fine until I noticed no data or cellular connection and someone said I've probably lost my imei, checked that and he was correct the IMEI was blank, so basically thought what the hell flash back a stock rom using odin, did that and all seemed well, odin reported success and rebooted to be stuck at the Samsung splash screen and that's as far as I can get, I can get into download mode but no matter which version of odin I use or which stock rom I try and flash I cannot get past the splash screen despite odin saying it succeeded, I can also still get into cwm but that seems to take ages?? done full wipes reinstalls blah blah but cant get it to boot
So obviously somewhere along the line I've messed up but the fact I can get into download mode and cwm made me think I could somehow get it back?
Any ideas?

Tried that too which is why I'm confused
*edit*
Its back!!!!!!! I swear I tried that before but it worked, seems I needed to do the 3 file method using odin rather than the single file method..... or was it a different version of odin that did it??? either way its back

Try installing any custom rom from CWM. Make sure to do "Wipe data/ factory reset", "Wipe cache partitions", "Mounts & Storage> Format /system" and "Advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache" from CWM before you install the custom rom. Here is the list of all custom roms for Galaxy Ace S5830i,
