Can someone post these as .zip so we can flash them through cwm? Is the Di18 rom still the di07 rom?
Here is the ROM update file: S700.0.5S.DI18. Just put it on the root of your sd, rename to update.zip reboot into recover mode and let her rip.
I installed a kernel but there's a wifi bug and i don't know how to fix it. I made a backup before, but when i restore it, it doesn't go BACK!
i have i337M (4.4.2)
Someone please help me ..
I haven't personally tried this on the s4 but it should work. Grab the 4.4.2 factory tar file, rename it without the.md5, and extract it. Inside you should find a boot.img. Put that on your device and flash it with flashify from the play store.

Thanks! I will try it when I finish downloading the File from SamMobile.
Just to Clarify:
I need to remove the .md5 from the name? So just .tar? and then extract and put the boot.img on my sd and install flashify and flash from there? And my kernel will be back to stock?
If I wanted to unroot, would i just flash the .tar file through Odin? That would remove TWRP, root and custom kernel, am i correct?
Thanks.

Hi,

i connect it to my PC and it doesnt show the files. just blank folder not even normal download/picture files.
plz help asap
Restore your backup. And fixed that quickly.
If you don't have a backup, that is a bad habit that you ought to change immediately. One good reason is staring you in the face.. the ability to revert changes or recover from unexpected problems.
In the alternative and presuming that you also neglected to save an original copy of the platform.xml file.. you can extract the original platform.xml from the full, stock firmware image. And use that to fix your issue. You can write the file to your handset using the command line or via an ADB shell. Or you could start over if you have other reasons for wanting to do that i.e. write a full stock firmware image with Odin. But replacing one file would make more sense in most situations.

No. I own the 900T model and would need to extract the 900F file from the stock firmware image. And you can do that as easily as I could. Just download the firmware image and use winrar to extract the file for you. Easy peasy.

Hi,
Yes. I screwed up
copied over a new build.prop to /system but I didn't change permission or might have made a mistake. So now my phone doesn't boot into android, or TWRP!
The only thing I can go into is the Samsung S4 Downloading window, I think it's the Odin screen.
I have Odin 3.0.7 (I have i337m)... and wouldn't it be possible to just flash a tar file or a zip file that can do the following:
delete /system/build.prop (The one I screwed up)
rename /system/build.props.bak to build.prop
That is all I need to do to fix my bricked phone!! OTherwise I guess I would have to flush using odin the while Samsung thing and might lose root and reflash kankapop!!!
Any help would be appreciate in the file I need to use.
I noticed Odin has a File [Dump] .. maybe I can use that?
Thanks,
You would need to flash a custom recovery through Odin, then you would have to create a flashable zip for flashing through the custom recovery. In the flashable zip would be the original, unmodified build.prop, the updater binary, and the updater script. The script would issue the command to copy the new build.prop over the old one and set its permissions.
AFAIK, you can't use Odin to send single files like that.
Hello Canada. I'm on Rogers and updated a few days ago to the new 6.01 Marshmallow ROM. I have root. Seems to be not much development work on our device, the G900W8, wanted to try some custom kernels and see if they would work but they all seem to be for the 900F. I'm interested in battery life improvements.
So I wanted to get a stock kernel I could flash in case something goes wrong and it won't boot, or if I just don't like the kernel. Some custom kernels require you to flash from stock rather than other custom kernels.
So how do we get things like kernel and radio out of our new G900W8 download? The download I have from Rogers is G900W8VLU1DPD3_G900W8OYA1DPD3_G900W8VLU1DPD3.
Use 7zip to open archive the stock rom. Then extract boot.img. IMG files can flash via TWRP.
Did some searches, seems like Flashify will do it. Gonna give it a try.

Thank you. I grabbed the file boot.img from the downloaded Rogers ROM file and copied to my PC. It has a file size in Windows Explorer of 12319. I also used Flashify to extract it, copied it to the PC, it has a size of 13,312. Wonder why the size difference?
