Got a new Galaxy S4 couple days ago i337 model from Rogers, dud the basic root without adding anything fancy. Added goomanager and a recovery script to it. Until this point everything was fine. Installed Titanium back up to restore my apps, worked great .. Only thing that didn't work was my Bookmarks in browser didnt restore. I tried signing in and out with Gmail expecting bookmarks to appear but no luck. To fix that I went into Titanium backup and restored my old browser which I had on my previous phone (galaxy infuse 4g) and also something else that looked like my sms messages, thinking to get those back too. After I exited Titanium and rebooted ... started getting all kinds of errors .- gapps , play store, talk, android process has stopped messages. .. Did everything that could find on the net to remedy this, even factory reset - nithing works. Weird thing is, that even after factory reset, somehow the icon of the old Browser that I have restored still appears . So now I have 3 browsers - native Galaxy 4 browser, Chrome and the one I restored from Titanium.
At the moment I have no access to Play Store, but I can root it again by connecting to PC and running progy.
please help.

Thank you! While im downloading that large 1.6 gig stock image, have a quick question. Is it that big because of all the Samsung bloatware and if i don't want it, can i just flash another ROM instead of the 1.6 gig zip file? And are other ROMs small because they don't have the extras and are all the essential part there? Which ROM would you recommend?
Ok, it didnt work, i've tried 0din 1.85 and the 3.x version i get RED Failed. This is log of 0din :

hi guys, i found out my solution for the market download problems
had the market download problem accidentally after once rooting my i9k. Tried many ways, clear market and gtalk cache, wipe cache, factory reset, log out google, change password, change account, change sim, root after root, reboot after reboot still no working. Every time i downloaded or upgrade something, there was a download icon shown on notification shortly and disappeared. The download never finished! Reckon some of you encounter this as well.
But last night, i suddenly realised that there may be problems with my cache.rfs as i could not lagfix it to ext4 or any other form. I started to think cache.rfs is broken. So i searched on the internet and found out a kernel (k12k) only have cache.rfs, instead of zimage. My market has survived right after installation and reboot! Brilliant! Then i install newer version of kernal with zimage and still working. The kernel name is update_speedmod_k12k_500hz.tar. If you have same condition and problem with market, try it! I am not exactly remember where i downloaded this kernel from, and cannot post link cos this is my first post. But hopefully you can find it somewhere.
Good luck to your market!

Anyone got tansmission to download? I have managed to install it fine and it opens up, loads torrents, but they fail to start
Hey there!
This is my first post and I am new to android rooting.
I have gotten my s4 into a jam in which I am stuck in Liquidsmooth with no access to the app store, no space, and perhaps most all of my contacts and everything wiped.
The problem started when I decided to take my phone which was rooted but had no ROMs yet and to back it up. I went into CWM recovery to backup and it failed because I did not have enough space. (probably from having a number of other backups). Anyways, I tried rebooting the phone and it failed due to the fact it probably tried to reboot the failed backup I had just performed? So then I tried to tackle the dilemma by installing TWRP instead because I figured it would get rid of CWM files that were taking up the space. I also flashed Liquidsmooth through Goomanager as well. When I tried to install LiquidSmooth and GApps in TWRP it failed again because I still did not have enough space or something. It just kept saying setupwizard and GApps were failing to initalize. However, when I install LiquidSmooth by itself it boots fine but with none of my contacts or previous apps (TI backup, Goo, TWRP, anything, etc...). Somewhere along the line I did a factory reset and format data in TWRP thinking it would free up space. It did not.
So now I am stuck with Liquidsmooth with no apps and no way to access apps w/o the Play Store as far as I know, with no contacts or anything. I have no idea what to do. Should I unroot or reroot my phone? If so, how?
Please Help
Thanks!
UPDATE
UPDATE: I really just want to unroot and reroot my sg4. Ive tried downloading the stock firmware for my phone (SCH-i545 4.2.2 verizon) so that I can use ODIN to reinstall the stock firmware, but whenever I try and go to unzip it I get an error saying the file is corrupt or invalid. Ive tried it multiple times and each time it takes around an hour to download. Any suggestions or other places I can get this file?
This is very frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

i tried updating to an rooted kitkat version as we as get the Native hotspot going for my Sprint GS4.. however i did something wrong and now. i keep getting pop ups stating "unfortunately, SAE has stopped as well as many other programs.. how can i get this fixed.. i have tried factory reset, and to return to an stock firmware, but i cant get odin to pass. it keeps failing.. I have downloaded all the necessary stock firmware files, drivers etc.. . I can get a recovery to flash,, but the pop-ups for "stopped apps" still appear.. and i cant get pass them.. .
Same issue here
I have tried odin with stock tar and it fails I have no idea where to go next. I am sure it has something to do with the services.jar and services.odex files but how do you get around that.

Dude here is your answer use odin and install clockworkmod latest addition... then download stock kit kat zip put it on your sd card and install via clockworkmod. This work for me cause I was having the same issue. Peace out.
Also having this issue. It started before I rooted. First I did a factory reset, (and assuming that would fix the issue on a completely stock unrooted phone) decided if I was doing a reset there would be no safer time for me to root. So I CF-Autorooted and enabled native hotspot. I believe this is possibly somehow related to my phone and the play market because updating or installing apps seemed to be the common element triggering them to start failing. Google Search would fail over and over every half second after I dismissed the notification making the phone all but unusable, so I did another factory reset, and now SAE (presumably samsung account setup?) is what fails without even the half second in between, completely unusable. I'm afraid my last hope is to one-click it.
Ok so i rooted my s5 using odin 3.07, CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 and SM-G900p.knox_removal.android.5.0.zip
Its probably worth noting my phone is on lolipop from samsung.
After i used those via odin the phone rebooted as expected. However the first time it booted it would not work. It would get to the home screen after start up and system process would fail.
I rebooted into recovery and used the fix permissions and fix selinux option.
Now my phone works fine with 1 exception, i get an error that says google play services encountered an unknown error. Any idea what is causing this?
I also have installed twrp 2.8.7 ( i think that was the latest available ) this was done using the twrp app which initially said it failed but when i rebooted into recovery it was there.
Any help would be appreciated. Also is it normal for the rom to refuse to check for upgrades once rooted?
I have been trying to flash gapps to my phone in the hopes of getting rid of this google play services error but i cant seem to flash gapps.
