So yesterday I wanted to go back to stock rom by flashing noobnl's stock DI18 rom without using odin. I wasn't sure i was supposed to but i also flashed the DI18 modem zip. When I tried to do so the installation was aborted and for some odd reason, i'm back to DG27 baseband... Can someone help me out? Do I have to flash back to stock via Odin or what? (btw, i'm rather new to Android... came from WM)
Does anyone have the sprint stock firmware in update.zip format? I rooted my tab using z4root but then later used z4root to unroot it so that I could use the rooting method that installs clockwork mod recovery.
Unfortunately I didnt know that after unrooting you cannot root again without flashing stock firmware. Now everytime I try to root the tab locks up.
Ok. After 24hours of no sleep i finally recovered my phone from the soft brick state it was after i flashed the wrong kernel when i was in stock 4.3.Now am back to sacs 8 though no wifi works and phone is rebooting and fc everything. I want to flash back to stock 4.2.2 but odin refuses. If you need any logs to be generated so you might help please tell me exactly what you need and ill provide

what did you do? im trying to use KIES but i dont have the serial.. can you msg me your serial so i can atleast get KIES to download the software? msg me
Kies won't work if u updated to 4.3. Kies 3 won't work either. If u soft bricked ur phone flash the cf auto root tar. It will fix ur error. We're just stuck with 4.3 for now.

kies wont do anything. After 4.3 update we can not downgrade. My issue is i cant boot into stock 4.3. I can only flash octos or other roms but with phone not working and problems as such.
ok somehow i fixed this. I followed the instructions using twrp recover. Only difference is that after i recovered modem and radio through custom twrp method, i used cf autoroot to get stock recovery back then used the update.zip posted in another forum, to update through sideload and it worked. Back in stock 4.3.

the 4.3 update.zip that got pulled out of someones phone before he fully updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3. You can find the zip file in the General section i think.
I was on stock 4.2.2 got the update and went to 4.3. Then i flashed a 4.3 tw kernel and everything got screwed. After that i went followed the instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47113608#post47113608. First i recovered boot , then system , then modem then radio through twrp using the files found there. After that i booted used the cf auto root to go back to stock recovery. Phone was still doing the boot loop up to this point. Then i figured out that the backup was probably a 4.2.2 backup so i used adb sideload to install update.zip. After that i wipe data/factory reset and it booted just fine. Ok lost everything but phone works now like new.
I gave my wife my GS4 which I had on CM11 and she did not like it as it is constantly dropping her data connection and stopping her texts from sending receiving. I downgraded to CM10.2 and still the same issue. She absolutely hates it, so I am now looking to revert the phone back to 100% original form with stock firmware and ROM.
Is there a guide on XDA for how to do this on an AT&T GS4? I know that I will have to do this through ODIN, but want to make sure that I do everything precisely so that the phone doesn't get bricked.
Can I download the stock MDL ROM from here: sammobile. com/firmwares/3/?download=14623 and just install with supplied instructions via ODIN and be back to stock? Will those go ahead and overwrite CWM bootloader and all of that at the same time?
The phone still has the MDL baseband on it if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can d/l the stock mdl rom from sammy and yes it will erase Cwm recovery and replave with stock....after you flash the stock mdl rom be sure to root and freeze the update apps....

Thanks for the confirmation. Just reverted back and she is already much happier with the stock ROM. Thanks again.
I have a rooted rommed Note 3 with custom recovery. Time to Edge up and need to wipe this device and return to stock. I followed the advice here and even after Odining it it came back just as it was, tried multiple times. I've been Odining phones a long time now not a noob.... . Clearly there's something I'm missing. What's the most current cleanest method to get my device back to 100% stock?

To restore back to stock 4.4.2, I used Droidstyle's Restore guide here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911 ). If you want it on 4.4.4 when you return it to Verizon, you can find that firmware at Sammobile...the same restore instructions in Droidstyle's guide should work. Or, just restore to 4.4.2 and take the 4.4.4 OTA.
I had to do a factory reset/wipe cache in stock recovery after ODIN'ing the stock tar.
I also used Chainfire's Triangle Away app to remove the Custom unlock splash that pops up after rooting with Towelroot, as the ODIN restore and stock recovery wipe still didn't remove that. Triangle Away requires root, so you'll obviously need to use that before you ODIN back to stock.
