Did something stupid that I never ever do. I forgot to back up my STOCK ROOTED rom.
I usually do this before flashing any roms in case i wanted to flash back. Anyone have a stock, unmolested, rooted rom for N4?
Or is there a thread with the stock roms? (remember reading something about Google removing it from their site) :
Flash the stock ROM in fastboot. Then flash recovery and then the su.zip
You'll be stock with root permissions.
See jubakuba's sticky if you need help.

Interesting, the stock Nexus 4 images are not on the Google Developer page.
This link has mirrors of stock images, so use it for now:

Bro but I do not know where you remove the root
U cannot remove root, kernel or recovery per say and you cannot remove root from rom and keep ur rom intact. If u want, back up ur note 2 by apps such as G Cloud. Use traingle away to remove major root traces if u want to return to stock rom, so u can update normally. Then, u have to flash stock rom or any desirable rom which r available in the forums. I hope this helps
Hi,
I am about to flash the PA rom on my N4 but before doing that I need to know how easier I can come back to my stock setup.
I have made a complete nandroid backup but I am not sure if that will work. My baseband and bootloader are already latest versions so that's that.
Actually I'm not sure if flashing the stock rom back is the only way so need to confirm that.
Thanks!
You can either go back to stock by flashing the stock nexus 4 images, or by restoring your nandroid backup that you created while you are on stock ROM.

Or you can simply download the deodexed stock 4.2.2 ROM and flash it via recovery. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

But it isn't really stock because he won't get OTA's if the rom is deodexed, right?

If you flash a stock ROM from XDA whether its deodexed or odexed it won't install ota because its signed differently

Thank you so much for your helpful responses, I was able to "test" and successfully restore my previous setup using a nandroid backup so no need to flash stock images/firmwares
So, we have two options when we want to go back to previous rom:
1. Either flash a factory image as mentioned (which erases all the system data etc etc)
2. Make a nandroid backup before installing a custom rom and restore the backup if youre not happy with it
Cheers and Thanks again! :good:

you have made alterations to your phone so its not longer stock. the file you are flashing is for a stock rom and to be flashed in a stock recovery. to flash the update simply re-flash a stock recovery and allow the update to go through. you can also simply wait and flash an updated custom stock rom.
Edit: link deleted....may confuse you
Edit2: Using the toolkits you should be able to find the stock recovery image and flash it back

Thanks for link but Wow....I'm confused on what all I need to download.
If ur looking for stock rooted use one of the TW roms...3 links titled 'stock mdl or mf9 or mdc' depending on ur update. U can find that out by checking 'about device' under settings/more. Its the last 3 letters of software version.
Hope this helps.

You can just use any stock rooted rom but make sure you do a factory reset.

this is what Id do...someone jump in if I am incorrect about something...
your on sacs, so you must already have a recovery - twrp or cwm.
See what update you have...mdc, mdl, or mf9 and download that stock ROM zip file.
Find a stock kernel listed down on that page and download that (since you want the stock experience).
put both on your sdcard.
boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/davlik ( I do it 3 x)
Flash the ROM, then flash the kernel.
I think that should do it.

Hey thanks I'll give that a try...I just want a stock rom to have as back up
I have had my phone rooted for a while, and I am about ready to dive into custom ROM's. I was going to flash TWRP on my Sprint S4.
My question is, how would I go back to a Stock Recovery in case it's needed (i.e. warranty issue). I've done a search, but couldn't really come up with my about going back to a stock recovery on Sprint S4.
Thanks!

Thanks! So it looks like the file:
Download Stock MF9 Firmware Complete Except For Modem *This gives you all of the stock firmware, including recovery and kernel, except the modem.
MD5: b7ba1271c72ea86f49e2ebb7133cff79
includes the stock recovery too. That makes it easy! :good:
