OK, I've tried searching, but it's very, very difficult. I have a terrible eye infection and can barely see right now. It'll be a couple of weeks before my vision is better. (I'm having surgery tomorrow.) I need to return my ATT S4 due to a mechanical problem. It has the stock MDL rom, but is rooted with TWRP recovery. I used the casual method to root and add the recovery. I only have 2 days left too return & exchange my S4. Could somebody PLEASE help me restore stock recovery & unroot? I'm hoping there are simple instructions I can follow, as just typing this is difficult & painful. Thanks!
What firmware are you on? You mention mdl. If you're still on that Odin the stock firmware.
as said above, use Odin to flash the factory firmware/recovery to your device.
here's a link to check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
here's the MDL firmware: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/AT&T+S4/Stock+Odin/AMDL/

Yes, I'm still on the stock MDL firmware. I hate to ask this, but I really need links & instructions to everything. I'm wearing high power magnifying glasses which make searching and reading both difficult and very painful. Just doing this is a very trying experience. Normally, I'd just search & figure it out. I tried that, but it's just too hard. I'm typing with my eyes closed for the most part. I'm basically begging somebody to wlak me through this with links... I don't have odin on my PC, I used the Casual Java app to root & add recovery.

I see the link to Odin I think. I already have the MDL firmware on, do I flash it again to get back stock recovery & unroot?

I'm truly sorry to bug everyone again, but what do I check, and what do I leave unchecked in Odin? I know it is a big deal, but I can't remember which boxes are important? I feel like an ass for not finding this on my own,; I'm sorry.

Just check auto-reboot. The file should be in the PDA slot.
Edit, when it boots you'll most likely have to boot into recovery and do a factory reset or it will boot loop.
Woo Hoo!
Success. Thanks so much you guys! Back to Costco it goes and a new one in exchange in 3 days. About a week or 2 before I can set it up though...

ok, that happened before with my E4GT. Odin wouldn't read it though then, but I will give it a try
Here's a thread with more download options too.
I had two phones that had issues and took me some real patience to get the download (took a very long time!) then to got through what it sounds like you are.
I got patient, pulled the batteries and let them sit while I made lunch and ate. Put batteries back in and started process again. Then when the samsung logo just 'hung' I said 'F it' and just waited. Eventually moved on to Yellow screen and hung there, but I just walked away and came back a pretty long while - for this A type, and it was at lock screen!

Are you on MF3 firmware. And have you read the several threads available about the problems with Kies and ODIN with MF3 and any sollutions there might be?
The "pinned" threads in the general and Q&A sections are a good place to start. Also make sure to read any threads about MF3. Good luck.
If you are not on MF3 firmware, I still suggest you read.

Did you buy the phone in this condition? Because I can't imagine how any thought process would allow someone to do ANYTHING to a phone if they didn't at least (and I mean at the very least) know what firmware the phone was running. And actually, much more than that needs to be learned before the phone is ever touched.
So you bought it from someone like that?

Try manually putting the phone into ODIN (download) mode and then manually cancel out of it (volume down button...I think). and see if it boots up. There is also a thread in the general section about "a fix for KIES", you might want to check it out. Also, apparently Best Buys stores can reflash MF3 phones if you ask them nicely. All of this might help if you were on MF3.
If you were not on MF3, try to ODIN back to stock. Only do this with MDB or MDL firmware.
Good luck.

Mine working
Just to let everyone know I flashed to stock firmware MDL and when I rebooted it had a software update which I did without thinking which MF3. I then rooted with know problems and at this point I used goo manger and attempted to install CWM bad idea. Should have read but didn't but I read for a week trying to figure out and try everything I could think of no deal. I saw that people talked about going to best buy so I went to one close to me and system kept showing device not found the person told me he couldn't do anything so I called AT&T who wanted me to travel clear across the city to have it flashed or replaced. Decided that was to much so I went to another best buy and his system said not supported. He called Samsung and they wanted me to send it in or take to there Samsung repair center which was only couple miles away which I did. They had no problem flashing it funny thing they used Odin which they have the files for. I tried to get the guy to give me a copy of the software but he said he couldn't oh well I tried but it does prove that there is Odin files for it just have to wait. I know this is long post just thought that maybe it will help others.
so my friend download an app and didn't read anything about it before he installed the app. The app was suppose to replace the home launcher but he was suppose to install another app before he installed it but he didn't. I have tried Odin, Kies, and Heimdall with no luck. I have tried them on different computers and with different cables. His phone is a SGH-I337, yes it is rooted but only for one app that was installed that doesn't affect anything. But now it only go to the download screen with the android man even when booted up normally it only fails the [auth] on Odin and it wouldn't even connect to Kies. Any help would be GREAT, he is only giving me 2 day to try and fix it for him then he is going to buy a new phone. Thanks in advance EVEN IF ITS JUST GUESS I'll still give it a try.
What app did you try to install and what firmware are you on. Odin should work if you use the right firmware.

Only way someone can help is if you list out the steps you took and the files that you used. Did you do a factory reset before pushing the files via Odin? Which files did you upload to Odin? Did Odin give you any errors?
What build were you on prior to flashing with Odin? I have a strong feeling that you are getting errors by flashing an older version of the U-firmware onto a newer version of V firmware, hence why Odin won't flash it. The link you sent is for PEH, which is fairly old IIRC. Were you on Verizon PI3 before attempting this?
You are probably partly right about the older firmware. The steps didn't really include information that seems updated. Right before I went to bed I was able to get it working. It seems that the phone did not like 4 of my cables. Finally it worked with a really tiny cable I found. Whew. Haha sorry I should have revised this. Is there any way for me to flag it as completed?

Oh yea for sure! The steps worked! Only issue was just that since the link is to the old firmware (and it says nothing about new firmware) I had to go looking for the answer, you have provided, during a state of mild panic. LOL I think we've all been there.
Is that a nougat U rom?

Incredible. Leagues ahead of the Verizon firmware. I am on TMOBILE now and I couldn't be happier. So much less bloat to turn off. The speed of apps are even faster. Just feels lighter.
shouthouse,
So you flashed G-935U on your G-935V and put it on T-moblie? Have you unlocked the better bands? I'm on T-mobile and looking to do the same for my G-935V and my wife's G-900V (once I find those instructions). Thanks in advance.
