I used odin to go back to stock then once it booted up did a factory reset from the settings/accounts/backup & reset. It boots with the original Galaxy S4 screen and shows official now.

If you have CM11 installed you'll still have it once reset as it's the ROM that's in permanent memory

How do I remove CM11 ? I've been having problems with calls not going through and I think it has something to do with it.
If you flash another rom it will cover anyway the CM11.
So you can flash the stock or any other rom you want.

Flashing stock ROM by ODIN does not delete your personal data. Factory reset does.

Did you perform a full wipe in TWRP before restoring your backup?

You may have to wipe system and format data before restoring.

Maybe reflash TWRP using Odin in download mode, wipe, and restore?

ok thank you so much for the quick help
Good luck. If that doesn't work, I suggest flashing a completely stock ROM from sammobile.com, factory reset, reflash TWRP, and then try a restore.

ODIN don't flash well the system

Hi,
When I flash the Stock ROM downloaded from Sammobile, I flash that and everything it's ok, but when it boots, it's appear the SystemUI and the theme of my previous Custom ROM (based on Stock), but the sound of notification are the Stock ones. (Obviously) the SystemUI does FC and I can't use my phone. I don't now what I'm doing wrong.
Please, help me.
Thank you in advance.

After the stock rom is flashed, perform factory data reset from the recovery.
Something is wrong with my phone, because now I can't flash the TWRP, the problem it's the same, but boots the stock recovery. I don't understand, when the last month I flash the same TWRP with no problems and in the same mode...

If the theme that was on your custom rom was official from samsung themes then it restored after you intalled stock. Because you installed stock rom, have you enabled oem unlock from dev. settings before installing custom rec through odin? And do a factory reset.

Check the os version before flashing and make sure it is for your model only

If you want to install twrp recovery you should unlick Auto reboot in Odin then turn off your phone after you flashed the recovery and then press vol up + home + power button together to go to recovery mode.

Factory reset while using custom rom WITHOUT twrp or root?

Hey, my S8 is currently running a custom rom and works perfectly fine..however I want to reset my phone back to its original state so I can update to oreo then root my phone again.
Would it be safe to just goto settings and select factory reset as I don't have access to twrp anymore or any root apps or would I need to use odin and flash a stock image?
Thanks for your time!
