[Solved] get back to stock firmware - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

[Solved] Need some help..
I want to get my ATT galaxy s4 back to stock. I searched for a lot online. Basically it needs Odin and a downloaded stock firmware.
My question is does it work even for my phone currently is CWRP recovery and custom rom flashed? Does the Odin flash the stock recovery to the phone?
Thank you so much!

CWRP recovery? is that new? You have the 2 recoveries mixed, hehe good one though. I like that name. Anywaz...use ODIN, get the stock image and flash.

TWRP..typo..:laugh:
So it can remove the TWRP and flash stock recovery automatically by ODIN, right?

heh we cool, um, it does not remove the recovery, but a hint here, odin back to stock, go into recovery after and factory reset. If you are wanting to remove everything including recovery, there is a thread or 2 with info on that.
Good luck.

Thank you very much! Still have a question..After I go to recovery and factory reset, can I get OTA update?
since the OTA update would check for system integrity like recovery.

I have heard different stories on that, the one that I think is if you are rooted and recovery installed, your status would show custom, so no updates.
Anyone have any input on this?

Asked someone if OTA is available after, he just said "should be" which is risky for me...
The goal is to get everything back to stock and question is can "Odin+stock firmware" achieve... I am so confused..

Hello,Sir~ Thanks for advice!
Do you have any idea about the boot unlock image with word "custom"? I found something online saying that even if you flashed a stock firmware
by Odin and reset factory in recovery, it could be still there and probably related to some files be signed or not by samsung.. Any suggestion?

There is a way to get that to read normal, but you must first get back to stock. Start there, and we will get the other taken care of.
good luck.

You can find more about the process by reading this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
If you want to be 100% stock like you were out of the box, you can do a factory reset/wipe in TWRP and then ODIN back to stock.
Factory reset will wipe all of your data - some of which is causing the custom icon at boot. You can wipe the cache and davlik cache as well to be sure.
Next, ODIN will remove root and custom recovery afterwards, leaving you completely stock.
My understand is that if you don't want to wipe all your apps and data, you can ODIN back to stock and then manually remove the files that are causing the custom icon, but I have not tried that.

Yeah! I got everything back to stock 4.2.2 UCUAMDL. The lock custom logo is gone. I checked for OTA update, but it said the software was up to date. Obviously it is not the latest. What can I do to get the latest update?
Thank you!

Man, I got everything back to stock and installed the latest OTA manually. Thank you so much!

Did you use Odin to do the OTA update manually? I was rooted and had custom recovery and used Kies to get back to "stock" but only to MDL. Phone checks for updates and it says im on the latest as well.. I want to update the phone to MF3 but I cant find it anywhere... Can you me out?

so you were rooted and running MF3, you simply installed twrp via goo manager and the device only boots to the error/warning screen, right? normally, flashing the stock firmware via odin clears up this issue but in this case, you cannot flash back to MDL or MDB from MF3, nor is there an MF3 firmware tar that i've seen anywhere. hmmm...

If you have CWM and can still access it, flash a ROM made for your phone (you never said what model). Just make sure it is a ROM / Kernel that is made for your phone and make sure it is LOKIed (or use LOKI-DOKI) if it is an AT&T S4. Or you can always go to SamMobile and get the factory firmware for your phone's version and flash it via ODIN, once it successfully flashed, do a factory reset in stock recovery.
If you don't understand any part of what I am telling you, it is because you haven't read enough, so before asking any more questions or doing anything else to your phone, take a while to search, read, and learn. If you have read, and you understand what I have said, Good luck.

You really need to read everything before you try just flashing something. Otherwise you will have issues like this all the time. Or search.

Phone is stuck at "Recovery booting". Help?

I tried to use GooManager to install TWRP, and now every time I try to reboot, the phone gets to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" page with three lines at the top - they say:
Recovery booting.....
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warrant Bit : Recovery
I was on the leaked KitKat firmware. Can I fix this without losing everything? Or should I just restore the 4.4 using ODIN and re-root?

I did this a few days and it worked fine. When I went to do it again earlier it ****ed up and let to that error again.
That's when I restored everything again and asked you for CWM.

That's what I'm saying. The best way to unroot your phone is by installing the stock firmware via Odin. If you did this then maybe the folders are supposed to be there.

A folder called root too?
I guess. I never tried to unroot a phone before. So I don't know exactly.
You could try and delete it. But if the folder is supposed to be there then deleting it might brick your phone.

Rooted, used an app to turn off services and now I can't get in my phone

When I go to turn it on it gets past all but 1 of the boot stages, the very last one, right before it goes to the lockscreen.
I installed this app called "Disable Service" by "WangQiTools"
and I turned off a few services under SystemUI (5.0.1) like an idiot, I think they were keygaurd and something else but that's whats causing this
I tried safe mode but it still wont let me enter
If I could maybe get some help reversing root or uninstalling this app to revert changes that would be great

Galaxy S4 I337
Stock rom
Do you have a back up of the data? Which version of the stock ROM is it running?
To quickly solve the issue, I recommend re-flashing the existing ROM; however, this may cause a loss of all data on the phone.
If you are running a stock 4.2.2 or earlier ROM, I suggest flashing the 4.2.2 stock ROM from sammobile.com using Odin.
Unfortunately, AT&T never released a full ROM after 4.2.2. If the phone is running 4.3 or newer, you will need to look at these threads to re-flash:

yeah its running 5.0.1 lollipop, I unfortunately don't have a backup.... is there any way to just unroot it? I can't afford loosing all my data, its very critical to me
whats the risk of reflashing
Reflashing may still not allow the phone to boot without performing a factory reset from stock recovery which means losing data.
Apps are usually uninstalled from the ROM settings. Unfortunately, that option isn't available at this time.
Did you try wiping the cache?

The OP's phone is an sgh-i337 with a locked bootloader and, so far, there is no way to unlock the bootloader.

I think re-flashing may be the only way to fix the issue.

what rom do you suggest I flash, and how should I go about flashing it? do I just boot the phone into download mode and use odin?? I've never done this
This may help as there is a link to the full NB1 firmware for Odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
Notes from the linked thread:
If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+

okay so I am rooted but I am bricked, so I'm guessing I have to flash I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar regardless of the fact that I am rooted? also this scares me --> "3. No need to wipe prior to flashing! The ROM will automatically perform a factory data reset."
