If you are rooted use Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and after that go straight to download mode and flash a stock rom with Odin. After the flash do a data factory reset and you have the phone as you initialy got it

How to use Odin see this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414.
Samsung oficial firmware see www.sammobile.com/firmware, you have to register first before you can download!
After this you are full stock if you flash the rom of your country/region and you will receive all OTA`s again.

hi all. I will be thankful if u can help me.
i have 9505 and when I connect it to my PC via USB instead of being charging , it will be warm and charge become decrease percent by percent. I have Stock Rom.whats Wrong with it??

Have you got the correct drivers installed by Kies? Tried another usb port (no hub)? Are you using the original usb cable?

Its not as hard as it seems to use Odin:
1. Close Kies, also in windows task manager!
2. Enable usb debugging on the phone.
3. Open Odin 3.04 as administrator
4. Place the downloaded rom that is unzipped ONCE and shows a .md5 file in PDA
5. Phone in downloadmode (after you used to reset the flash counter with Triangle Away)
6. Connect the phone with usb to Odin (IDCOM should light up and show a com number)
7. Press start and flash the rom.
Reboot and data factory reset in settings/accounts/reset
Done

Best answer.. easy to understand.. thanksss

BTW sir,.. i cant find any model of Samsung galaxy s4 GTi9505
can u help me to find th original firmwares?

You can try this rom with odin
http://samsung-updates.com/details/12205/Galaxy_S_4_Snapdragon/GT-I9505/XEF/I9505XXUBMGA.html
it's the last official rom from France. the only issue if it's not the right region code for your country is to had just issue with carrier network
why i choose the link from france ? cauz no specific region code for turkey and france is close to france (in geographical situation).
but if you remind the region code of your first stock rom i can try to find a link for the it

this is the easiest way to unroot and go back to stock and official galaxy s4 with TW.
follow this simple guide .

Either ODIN or you download the update.zip file from the closed thread about it. It wouldn't be able to connect to the American apn/AT&T update as far as I know.

The 4.4 leak is out now but when the official update comes you just have to wait for someone to upload the update.zip file and you can flash it through the stock recovery.

are u using google translate to post in here? well..it's hard to understand what u want..
because u already rooted, u can't update via ota..download the update manually and then flash via odin..to update ur firmware, just downlaod the N910F one and there is no international firmware..
or maybe u can ignore the update and wait for android 5.0 later

as far as i know it should be fine, because usually they all have the same firmware. but if u're afraid, maybe wait someone who also have N910F to reply later.
or like i said, just wait for 1-2 months for android 5.0
these update basically not that important though

How To Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy S6! [All Variants]

I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html

I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?

HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

Fantastic, sir! I had this baby rooted and the screen cracked. Boo!! But I followed these instructions and I'm back to stock. New phone, here we come! Thanks!

Guys please i need the stock boot img for 920v on nougat. I tried rooting it and in the process.. changed my boot img. Rooting was unsuccessful though. But i have annoying knox notifications now and lags here and there. I want to use odin to reflash the stock boot img. Im new here. Didnt really know where to post this
