Hello everyone,
I need some help ;(
I have problem with my external speaker.
I suspect this is hardware problem. I want to sent samsung for warranty claim. But the problem is my phone is rooted.
So i want to unroot my phone before i sent.
How to completely unroot my phone and samsung cannot detect my phone was rooted before.
Thanks in advanced.

You have to flash a original firmware and have the right CSC set on it.
You can flash normaly with odin.
regards
Thanks.
I know how to flash to original firmware but what is CSC and how to do it?
Thank you.

Just flash the original firmware for your country/region, it already contains the right csc file. After reboot dial in phonepad *2767*3855# for a factory reset and you`re done (backup your important files to the computer !)

Is gone after the Odin flash
You're all right, but keep in mind that the flash counter might be set, so you have to reset the counter.
Just check it in the download mode.
Well, wasn't the "unroot" tool doing the same thing?

Factory reset does not remove CWM. You need to re-flash the stock ROM (System, Modem, Kernel and etc).
i cant find the stock rom for my country - PHILIPPINES
Thanks to all for helping me on this.
My phone become 'virgin' and save to sent to samsung for warranty claim.
Original firmware [check]
Flash counter [check]
CWM [check]
If im missed something please let me know.
Thanks again.

Been doing a bit of reading on here and some people seem to need a pit file when flashing stock ROM with odin as they get the message "no pit file" how do they end up with a missing pit file?
I believe pit files tells Odin how to divide the partitions for formatting and where certain components go when flashing them individually. I'll assume the reason people get the no pit file error is because Odin doesn't detect the pit file and isn't sure how to correctly flash the ROM. I could be completely wrong, but I thinks that's the general idea behind them. Some ROM's come with the pit file integrated I think, and some come separately.

Are they doing something which makes odin not detect this pit file such as custom recoveries etc
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure mate honestly. I know the basics of a pit file and that's it. I've never used one and don't plan to.

No worries thanks for input though I need to flash stock MDM through odin again done it once just makes me nervous though haha so hoping I won't need to do pit or will crap myself
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Where did you get the file from? Is it a tar file or an tar.md5 file? Also, why do you have to flash it again?

Its a home.tar file
I used djembey root method a while ago but this uses a old unlocked kernel. Need the new kernel on MDM as it gets rid of red tint going to use chainfires auto root on it hopefully
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Yeah you can root MDM no bother now with the updated CF-Auto-Root which is what I'm on. I'll have to root the device soon, get a custom recovery and backup the device along with the EFS folder.

1. Root the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 with Odin3.04
2. Flash Philz Touch recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367 with Odin 3.04
3. Backup EFS folder with Philz Touch http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-restorebackup-galaxy-s4-efs/ and store on the sdcard and pc.
As gee2012 said...
This is one of the easiest phones to flash... I've had HTC before and they could be a mongrel...
As long as you read how to use ODIN, it is REALLY easy and there are good guides available in just about every samsung device forum, with pictures...
Most people have problems because they just jump in without reading or doing any research. Read the steps, Re-read the steps and then go for it once you think you have it. Just take it a step at a time and make sure you have everything you need 1st before stuffing around.
I still laugh at my mate who seeing how easy it was to flash a rom decided to put the new rom on his internal sd card then do a factory wipe to make sure the internal storage was completely reformatted clean. It took a while for him to work out that the rom on the internal sd card was wiped when he formatted the data partition and he was stuck for a few hours trying to work out where he went wrong... LOL...
Sweet thanks! How are people messing up ther partitions? Is it from flashing the wrong rom?

Using the wrong pit files mainly when flashing stock or wiping the sdcard.
So pit files are not included in the stock .tar file? You have to flash them sepratly

Does the EFS backup work for 1337M?
Don't flash the pit files... EVER..... You shouldn't need to flash them. This is where people stuff up and do stuff they don't understand. You only need to put the roms .tar file into PDA and flash... Just as a precaution though make sure "Re-partition" is UNTICKED...

Yes, the PIT file is always included in the stock firmware.

I rooted my phone and install a custome rom but today I tried to flash back my original rom I backup and tried to update my phone through kies and it says my firmware can't update due to a change in my firmware. My phone is still rooted and I still have a custome recovery install. Is that causing the problem? Sorry I'm new to all this. Thanks.

That's exactly the issue. If your device status is listed as modified, then Kies will not work. You basically forfeit your option to update through that program. I think unrooting would help, or just wait and flash the new 4.3 ROM that will be available soon.
This should have been posted in q&a. It would be helpful to know what specific phone you have. You say you've flashed back to the stock Rom but you still have a custom recovery? How did you flash back to stock?

If you want to restore back to stock and remove the custom recovery you should use Odin. That should let you get the ota firmware upgrade.
So I have to use Odin to put back my original firmware? Also I'm not to sure how to put back Odin to stock recovery.

When you flash the stock firmware with odin it'll put the stock recovery back on at the time. You don't have to do anything special.

You don't flash the backup with odin. Get the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your specific device and carrier.
So I would download Odin to my pc than download and install the original firmware with odin? Do you have a step by step on flashing with odin? Thanks!

The attached guide is not for the i337 but the process is the same. Just don't use any linked files, except for Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

Hi, I have my S4 which I love. I'm flashing it pretty regularly with new roms, kernels. It's of course rooted, and in a knox-fail state, but works great for me.
The i9505 uses the same tools as the old note 10.1 (albeit that being exynos, like the i9500). For those experienced in odin, and recovering froma bad flash I don't suppose any of you would be so kind as to check out my thread over on those forums - I have a brick I'm struggling to recover (emergency download mode, all odin flashes fail) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53170432. I suspect the same principles apply
Much obliged.
Have you tried flashing official firmware for 8010 in Odin whilst using the 8010 PIT file to repartition back to 8010 partition table?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes though I only had an old pit file and the later firmwares. Finding a known good combination of pit (elusive) and formats would be useful. Any suggestions?
