Your post makes no sense .
You cannot flash firmware without a PC .
Hold buttons as described do you mean via CWM recovery ???

Anyways head over to the original android development section.. Find the cf root thread and use it..
You will need a PC though..

Use the zip from an already working rom and then make the changes in the updater-script..if you want i can send over my meta-inf folder
sent from here, there, somewhere!!
Yeah that would help. I've created my own update script but when I zip it all up how it should look compared to everyone else's rom it just fails when flashing saying bad.

To check out what is going wrong..after you have flashed either check recovery log under advanced settings or after booting go into cache/recovery and check last install log

Zoot1, Your META-INF consists of only the com folder.
Are the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF files neccesary?

Have you solved this issue?
Last time I had this same problem when flashing MIUI on Galaxy Note, it fried the motherboard and I just got it fixed.
All the best

or just use lgpwn, that's what i did, and u can easily unroot by going into settings on supersu (of course download it off of playstore) and click "Uninstall root Perminantly" or something like that and boom, you're unrooted. And the best part about it is you can go back to root whenever you want and do the same process to get unrooted and you won't damage your device.
I'm not trying to unroot, simply needed the stock System and Meta-Inf files.

You are asking for the whole ROM, just download the kdz or cwm backup.

Will I be able to extract the System and Meta-Inf files? It's only two little files.

Sure but you might need a manager to do it. I created an update.zip file from titanium backup and extracted the meta-inf from there. . .

So you need stock files or just any flashable zip file to get its content? If you want later please download from http://d-h.st/T63
Does anyone have just the stock files? I'm not the best when it comes to kdz's, and the last flashable zip I found wasn't extractable. This is what I'm trying to undo.

Delete mods

Hi I added a multi window mod on my Samsung galaxy s2 and I want to delete it because it dont work and my vol menu has messed up since that. When I turn it on its says android is upgrading
Starting apps. Please can some one. No custom rom and no root. Thanks. I have some pics.
You don't have a pre-mod backup, right?

I wonder if anyonevhave got like a uninstaller.zip to get rid of multi window
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
your best bet is to reflash the rom. It should boot as per normal with all the mods removed. You can flash your custom kernel if you have one after the first boot. Its best to make a backup before making any modifications.
If I use odion will it delete my external sd
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Im not confident with flashing
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
If you are not sure, simply take your sd out before flashing :good:
Besides, what files does the mod affect?

Flash with mobile odin and don't tick ever root and you'll be ok. Get stock rom from sammobile stick it on int sd and flash away.

You cannot un install it just like that because this mod is made by modifying SystemUi.apk and possibly a couple of other's, removing it actually is a simple procedure of replacing the files in the multi window flash package with your default stock one's and flash via cwm but I doubt you could do that, your best bet is a re flash via Odin like the others said.
