Hello,
I've been using the S4 but I decided to change my device and I would like to give away my S4 to a family member who isn't really tech savvy at all. I would just like to bring it back to factory settings with a stock f/w, no root so he will be able to use OTA updates, etc.
Your help is always appreciated.
Thanks
Karim

Help... I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720, It is rooted and has the CWM custom recovery. Here is the problem. I flashed the stock GE ROM onto the phone and although it flashed onto the phone, I couldn't make or receive calls. I decided to restore from the back up. Now, I am having issues with receiving phone calls. Here is where I need help. I am going to take the phone in for service and I need to get it back to how it was when I got it in the box.
I know how to remove Root. How do I get rid of CWM custom recovery and put back Android Recovery that came on the phone. I need to set everything back to factory.. Help!! Thankyou in advance..
This is l720 forums go to the 9500 forums and ask instead of putting a bunch of useless threads in our forums thanks

Question is HOW? - via OTA? via flashing ROM from dev section? If you flashed a ROM, which one? And how did you do it - steps you took.

Okay.
Again I'm still not quite getting what you did.
So I'll assume that when you say,
I did the update for the 4.3

you mean you took the Over The Air update - the one from Sprint; your phone says Firmware update available.... etc.
IS THAT CORRECT?
If so you CANNOT go back to 4.2 period. End of story on that route.
You can however, If my above assumption is correct, and you didn't apply the update in some other way re-flash MJA or flash a custom ROM. For that you'll need to root your phone (CF-Autoroot works), install custom recovery (for 4.3 Philz is the one to use) and then flash the ROM as per the developers instructions.

So I bricked my Sprint GS4. I don't even want to get into how it happend. I was an being dumb and messing around with my rooted S4. I bricked it a while back but managed to find and install the stock rom and fix it.
I'm having trouble this time around because I wiped all system files. I only get the S4 logo screen when turning it on. I was on 4.2.2 VPUFNAE. I currently downloading the SPH-L720 VPUAMDC stock rom in hopes that I can flash it on my phone with Odin. I guess my question is...will I be able to flash that stock rom back on my phone without having to do anything else?
I know very little bit about this stuff. I research a lot and that's how I know what I currently know. Sorry if I sound ignorant or like a noob. I'm just really desparate to get my phone back. I'm truly greatful for any help I can get!

Hi mate ,
+1 with charris , as long you can get into download mode there is no problem , do the 3 buttons combo ang see if you can , flash stock and back into business , also if you have installed a custom recovery you could flash a custom rom that would solve the problem also
Thanx guys! Much appreciated! I fixed it. Just had to download the correct stock rom. Soo relieved!!

You don't have a computer, but want to upgrade to the s8+? I wouldn't take the chance using flashfire because it has bricked a few phones this way. I would find a friend and borrow a computer to be safe or give back the s8+ and save money

I would recommend going to a friend or using a public computer and flashing or using the Verizon recovery assistant.
