This is stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929270
You can select root or not when installing, it uses aroma installer.
I would flash the odexed rather than de-odexed as I read that some people have issues with that.
Here is the latest bootloader, I flashed this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928915
Also the toolkits (stickied in development section) have the ability to do a stock rom. That's not from recovery though.

Do they suport the official OTA?
And does the offical OTA also upgrades the bootloader?

[Q] Flashing wrong kernel?

Hi XDA.
After growing a pair of balls I've decided tonight is the night that I am going to unroot my phone, put it back to stock ROM and get it off of franco.Kernel. I am doing this because I want to start fresh and get it on Paranoid Android.
(I currently have a January nightly of CM 10.1, franco.Kernel r53 and unlocked bootloader whatnot)
I am looking for the stock kernel for the Nexus 4, but am worried about flashing the wrong one. I'm not saying like I'm going to flash a Samsung kernel or something stupid like that, I just mean that since I am on android 4.2.1 and if I flash a kernel that is made for android 4.2 can I screw up my Nexus 4?
Any tips?
Thanks a ton.
Edwin

As long as the kernel is for the Nexus 4 then you should be okay. You can get all the resources here.

Make a backup if you are worried. What kernel are you going to flash?

Making a backup won't save you if you flash a kernel that's not for your phone

Just flash the stock images from Google. Contains rom, kernel, bootloader, and radio.

make sure your download isn't corrupted and you downloaded for the correct device. Should be fine.

What's the point of going through all the time to unroot and flash back to stock?
Why not just do a full wipe and flash paranoid android?

I was wondering how nobody else asked that question earlier because that's exactly what I'm thinking.

He's going from 4.1 to 4.2 he needs to flash the new bootloader and radio too

What are the risks of flashing wrong kernel on a phone? I got a samsung s3. Just wanted to ask the risks. Couldn't i recover using nandroid backup? I saw this post of yours stating not. Why?

I have heard of the digitizer blowing from flashing wrong kernels. I suggest only flashing kernels made for your specific device.

You should add one more ball to that actually make it two more as you are at it. First you should install latest cwm recovery and root your phone. Then go to the recovery and make a backup. After that you can continue with flashing custom Roms and kernels.

Stock Recovery Flashable?

Hello,
Apologies if I didnt find it after searching but:
I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy
Thanks!

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

I used to be on stock recovery rooted and was able to update ota while keeping root with ota rootkeeper... And stock recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

So, you want a recovery that has no abilities? No backups. .. no restores. ... reinstall motochopper then.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.

[Q] are the 4.2 and 4.3 bootloaders the same?

The reason I'm asking is because I want to fastboot the entire 4.3 image to my tablet and start clean but I'm afraid that if the bootloaders are different I won't be able to install the custom recoveries, Philz CWM, or CWM touch for example.
Thanks in advance.

No, old one is LJ12, new one is MD03.
I use TWRP 2.5, and it works fine on the new bootloader.

I'm using phipz cwm and it works fine on new boot loader but every time a reboot room it it says ROM wants to flash stock recovery and you have to press prevent flash or no allow flash.

Thanks for the quick reply, I think I'm gonna stick with TWRP for now until CWM gets updated.

Paranoid android 3.94

does paranoid android 3.94 works on Android 4.3 JWR66V? and what feature doesn't it support?

PA is working on JSS15J.

No, you need to flash the JSS kernel first.
I have no idea, probably it has all the features with extra features has well.

If u r on 4.2.2 u need flash radio and bootloader first (flash in recovery)
If u r already on 4.3, so flash rom first -> gapps, then full boot, then reboot to recovery to flash kernel

No idea, that it's what I just asked in that thread, maybe it is in a thread about the kernel or something.
It will not brick your phone but even if it did it would be a soft brick which means that you cannot boot into the kernel/rom but you still have access to the bootloader and recovery so all you really have to do is flash an other kernel to fix that issue.
