I forgot to do a backup before I installed CM 10.1. The install was successful but I would now like to go back to stock so I can use the GPS. Is there somewhere that I can get a stock rom or reset back to the default?
My phone is a U.S. Cellular S4 (R970).
Thanks.

I recently installed cm10 on my new s4 but the 3g speeds are really slow. WiFi is slow too. I saw a forum with the same problem with the HTC one. They said it was a problem with the baseband. Any help would be great because I'm not a huge fan of the stock os even though the internet runs great on it.
anyone know of any basebands that work. I would appreciate any help

You could always try to go to a Touchwiz Rom, update the prl and profile, and then flash back to cm10. I've heard that can speed up data a bit
You also could try flashing the MDL modem with Cm10...that might help as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919

I don't think updating in the stock rom will have any affect since the internet on the stock rom runs fine. It's only after I install cm10 that the internet starts to bog down.

I did the odin thing and now my stock rom can't use wifi. When I enable it it says an app is trying to get certain permissions and wifi immediately gets disabled. It tells me to reboot the phone and I do so and same problem occurs. I did come to find that when on cm10 the internet does work but the play store and pandora only work on wifi. I get connection errors on 3g with those two apps.
Try to flash a custom kernel or flash a different AOSP ROM.

Not sure why the kernel would affect it. I was trying to find an aokp version that would work for sprint but couldn't find one.
It could help the WiFi issues because when my WiFi wouldn't work I flashed a custom kernel and it would work.

Oh you mean for the stock rom? I don't want to use the stock ROM if I can get the play store and Pandora working on cm10. The stock ROM is saying its a security issue and not just an error with the WiFi so I don't think that would help. The problem started after I installed the modem in Odin.
For both I also recommend checking out that ROM it seems like what you want in a ROM customization, AOSP, and the stabability of CM. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312063 if not check the original android development section it is filled with great AOSP roms similar to CM or better.

There is many cases that aosp roms/kernals have slow data speeds. The epic 4g touch was one. All aosp or touchwiz roms with non stock kernal had poor data speeds. This phone may be different. Im running tw rom with kt kernal and data speeds are the same. The prl/profile thing is huge not being able to update it in aosp can cause problems.
I installed pacman ROM and the gapps and Google play immediately stops working and a message pops up every 5 seconds and the internet won't load. I got Google to load once and that was it. I had to switch back to cm10.

Hi. I have the AT&T samsung galaxy s4 and I was removing bloatware and I guess I went too far. The phone would not boot beyond the AT&T symbol so I flashed it with cygenomod 10.1. However, I miss some of the samsung features and I want to get it back. Is there any way to either get the original rom or something else with touchwiz and the smart software?
Thanks for the help!!
Alex
If you just want to revert to stock, use the firmware and instructions in this thread:

Hi all...sorry if this is very noob but hope someone can help me out...
i got my galaxy s4 for att and its been great so far...i did root it and got rid of all the junk stuff on the phone which was nice to do... but a little issue now..there is an OTA update and its trying to apply it by rebooting but it goes to my console screen i guess and i know even if it applies it it would get rid of root.... is there a way to apply this without having to reinstall all my emails (5 emails) and my apps and keep the root ability on it? I would love to get the feature to send apps to my SD thats the only reason i really want it.
again im sorry if this is very noobish to some of u but would like a nice guide if possible how to do it.
Thanks in advance
What device? Thats important, and DO NOT let it do the update. if you are rooted, you could freeze the samsung updater.
I would get off stock and flash a custom rom.

I use Infamous S4 as well, I love it. It's pretty stock feeling.
When it comes to the backing up part, I suggest Titanium Backup. Get the pro version and you can batch install all of your apps from a backup, otherwise you have to do it one by one. It also saves all app data and system data and accounts, so you can do a full wipe when installing an update or a new ROM (always a good idea,) then just let it completely restore the phone from a backup. You can use it to back-up everything, except for the home-screen layout (android limitation apparently.) Plus you can backup right to the phone if you have space so you don't have to wory about using the computer. I recomment getting a microSD card for 10 bucks at Staples and backing up to that. When you're restoring, make sure that you check what you're restoring. Most of the stuff in red are system apps that don't need to be restored (as newer or the same versions may already be installed from the update.)
For restoring root priviledges, CWM and TWRP custom rrecoveries have a tool for this.
Hey Guys,
I need to send my phone in to Rogers in Canada since my texts don't work for no reason even though I haven't switched ROMS in a long time so i don't know why it hasnt been working but my question is..other than flashing stock firmware is there anything else I need to do before I send it in? if so, what and how?
Thanks in advance!
Yes. Before unrooting you should clear your binary using the Triangle Away app. Since this seems like a software issue they may check. Also make sure to unroot it and not just flash the stock ROM like any other ROM

thanks! hmm now to find out how do to all of the following steps...lol
Well in simpler terms, first download the app triangle away, and clear your binary (I think it works with the S4, check on that again so nothing goes wrong.) Then just backup anything if you need to. Also before unrooting via ODIN, you might want to do a factory reset and all that stuff in your custom recovery prior to your unroot. I think there should be plenty of tutorials on YouTube to help you through this have fun

Make a backup of everything with Titanium Backup. I'd also make a nandriod so when they give you your new phone you can go back to where you were easily

I have flashed super nexus on my S4 coming from a fresh ODIN install of NB1 and updated to NJ4. I have flashed correct modules and kernels. Everything else runs amazing on this ROM except I can't turn wifi on at all. It says turning on and never does. Ive also tried to take the wifi folder from system\etc on a working ROM and re add it in to the super nexus system. That didnt work either. Any ideas on what I can try next? I dont wanna go back to stock
