is there a way to flash only the kernel and not losing data? and how to do I back up and restore data if I want to unroot? sorry for the noob question. Kinda new to android thanks in advance!

Whatsup OP,
easiest way is mentioned, is to simply reflash the entire stock ROM, perhaps the question you should be asking is how to extract the Kernel from the entire ROM zip?
also i would recomend reflashing the entire stock ROM on anyway just to avoid any issues.
Hope i helped!

Here is a link for the ME2 dated 2-5-2013 stock kernel and recovery http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00046/xDf/I9505XXUAME2-STOCK-KERNEL-RECOVERY.rar. Extract once with 7-zip and flash the md5 file in PDA with Odin.

How to flash custom recovery on pre rooted MF8 Rom

Hi guys,
I am a relative newb to xda and rooting etc and have a query that hopefully someone can help me with. I have flashed a pre rooted mf8 rom via odin and would now like to add the loud volume mod to my s4 i9505! As far as I understand the mod has to be flashed via custom recovery. I still have stock recovery on my s4 and I am not sure on how to flash a custom recovery or which one I should use. Apologies if this is the wrong thread and thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Look HERE
Choose one of the 4 recoveries available .
Installation instructions are on the thread.

as far as i know there are currently 3 custom recoverys available.
im using philz touch recovery.
download newest version as .tar.md5, put it in odin as pda, and flash it just like you did with the pre rooted rom.

Thanks for link but Wow....I'm confused on what all I need to download.

If ur looking for stock rooted use one of the TW roms...3 links titled 'stock mdl or mf9 or mdc' depending on ur update. U can find that out by checking 'about device' under settings/more. Its the last 3 letters of software version.
Hope this helps.

You can just use any stock rooted rom but make sure you do a factory reset.

this is what Id do...someone jump in if I am incorrect about something...
your on sacs, so you must already have a recovery - twrp or cwm.
See what update you have...mdc, mdl, or mf9 and download that stock ROM zip file.
Find a stock kernel listed down on that page and download that (since you want the stock experience).
put both on your sdcard.
boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/davlik ( I do it 3 x)
Flash the ROM, then flash the kernel.
I think that should do it.

Install Custom Recovery?

I have searched and searched and everything leads to a dead end.
I want to unroot my S4 running stock rooted [email protected] with TWRP and return to stock with stock recovery.
Can't find a tar file that will allow me to do this through ODIN.
Am I missing something?

Search for the stock OS in sammobile.com and you can download the original firmware and flash it via Odin

Go to the development section and look for the thread from random45. It has a fast download for the mk2 tar file.

There's plenty of guide threads in the General Section stickied at the top and even threads for the recoveries in the Development section. I believe you just need to use ODIN to flash the recovery. I'm assuming you're on an I337m if you used CF Auto Root, since that doesn't work for the other locked bootloader devices in this board section.

You might try this. It's a twrp tar that should be flashable in Odin.
