It's downloading!!! Thanks for the info!
well, i tried downloading and it failed? any extra steps to download? unroot or anything?
I was still rooted... Maybe the server's being swamped...
well it finished downloading. so i dont' know. tried doing unrooting with one click but not working so no im stuck. bootstrap or any app i need to uninstalled?
anyone extracting update.zip?
same here. i tried to install the update file but i reboot into clockworkmod recovery and it tells me i failed to update
Working good, now we'll need to divide the forum questions Before Froyo BF and After Froyo AF. No bugs yet, though flash doesn't quite match lip sync, not too sure if it's the site or not.
Worked great, tried flash and that works beautifully. Phone sure seems to be a bit smoother. I had rooted the phone and I unrooted it before performing the OTA update.

right now i'm thinking it's the clockworkmod, so i am re-installing the stock
if you go to rootzwiki's page, it should show you how to do, if that's your problem.
Well let me know if that method works for you .

Ok, my way worked. All you need to do, is to hard reset, reactivate your phone, and download ota update. It totally worked!
Noobie here..when you say hard set, what exactly do you mean. Do I need to unroot the phone first and then hardset, then go to (with verizon) *228 and ativate?

Well... I tried factory reset and reactivated.. still gets hung up and resets after its reboot to the recovery screen. Comes back with "update failed"
The only thing I had done at one time or another was Koush's Clockwork boot and root.
I had unrooted and uninstalled Kouch's stuff.. then factory reset and reinstalled, same thing. The update will download.. boots to recovery screen, get 1/4 way, error triangle, reboot, "update failed"..
Any ideas? Is there something from Koush's stuff that is hanging around, evern after an uninstall?
I'd really like to get the OTA update!!
Thanks!

Use SBF, you should be able to bring life back to your phone
Anyone know if I need to backup first? I haven't rooted it, I just have a couple dozen apps installed and don't want to lose my text messages and any other information.
Nevermind, I eventually figured out it saves your data.
Trying to get this update. I am rooted and am trying to complete the instruction from the first couple of posts. Setting/About Phone/System Updates
When I go to System update it tells me I have to hava a Motorola Account "System Update " is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to set up an account now?
When I choose setup it takes me to Setup Account menu. What account is it talking about? Anyone know?
Same here. I deleted pretty much anythig i could think of and still.nothing. maybe my framework? Anyone got a stock apk framework?
I did that one click root method an i tried doing the unroot and doesn't seem to work.

Seems like there are people that have just rooted that can get the update...
I had rooted at one point.. but also had the Koush bootloader on.. have recently uninistalled that.
Koush.. is there anything else I can do manually that will make my phone stock after uninstalling your Clockworks loader?
Please help!!!
Hello!
I had my S4 rooted and nandroid back up. I was trying to install this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316308
I installed it and gapp installed too and rebooted. I got this message appears
"System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone"
upper corner in orange says "kernel Failed"
That means I did something wrong?

Ok, I been reading some threads about recovery, I didn't relieze, i was away from s3 so long. I just restored from backup data and it boots into this stuck Samsung screen with custom unlocked logo. Bootloop?
Havent seen that particular screen but yeah sounds like your bootlooped. If.you can three finger back into recovery and have a nandroid i would full wipe then Restore your back up (even though people.say restoring wipes anyway..id wipe.if u.are using twrp do not format data!).if.your still looped you may have to try and odin back to stock.firmware can be found on sammobile.com had to do this the other night due to a bad nandroid..lots of fun lol.

Thank you!:victory:
My heart dropped like fainting ghost after I see the at&t software showed up. I wiped factory reset and goes past the samsung with unlocked logo into at&t boot up like new phone. It took 5 mins to get into welcome screen. All is working.
Now, I begun to wondering why my logo says it bootloader unlocked and I download correct at&t rom is in? I use this causal download from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
I am trying to understand and pick my first rom. Was thinking downloading pure google rom. Had to read again
That mod.will loki your kernel,prolly why it says unlocked. I.have the.canadian. version..unlocked already thank.god lol.
A.simple wipe can work wonders..if you can get into.recovery and have something.to.flash most times your gona be okay.
Glad your back in.business!

Flash another kernel made for your device, or go thru the ODIN thing, your choice. this is for anyone who have that triangle.
Yes, I read some thread and the roms need kernel, without kernel installed which was has leaded me into that warning att screen. I tried again with roms above link with ktoon kernel and made it through. I was probably be dumb. Pardon me, lots to relearn here.
I own iPhone 4s but I went back to android.

[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!

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.

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?

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?

I want it stock as stock gets if possible.. I don't want to deal with recovery's and such.. I have to warranty the phone once I come up with the $$ for the deductible because the screen is cracked and I don't want them saying my warranty its void...
Will getting to MF3 this way cause me to have the custom unlocked symbol on the startup screen again??
Hey guys, if anyone can help me with this, please reply.
I am on an At&t Galaxy S4 MF3 1337 and just recently installed Rom Manager, then flashed CWM recovery. It was successful, but when I reboot to the recovery screen, I do not have any options to "backup and restore" my stock rom, which I'd like to preserve in case anything goes wrong. I would like to flash Cyanogenmod, but will not attempt it without having a backup saved. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to show up. If it helps, I rooted my phone through the simplest way, with a one click root. My only options are things like:
1. reboot system
2. apply update from ADB
3. apply update from external storage
4. wipe date/factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. apply update from cache.
Please help me out here guys, I have googled this problem endlessly, and a few have the same problem, but they aren't making the solutions on how or if they fixed it clear enough for me to understand. Yes, I am a noob, if that wasn't obviously already! If there is any other information I can provide you to help me, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
I'm not an expert but I don't think you can do that if you are on MF3. You have to use Safe Strap and then your limited on what you can flash. I would suggest more reading before you brick it.

I had my phone rooted with towel root and the only thing I did was fix the hot spot provisioning so I can use Foxfi. I did a factory reset last night, and the weird thing is, I still have root and Foxfi still works. I figured that when I did the factory reset, I would have to reroot and fix the hot spot again.
I guess, I am wondering why that happened? It's good actually, saved me a half hour of work. But was that because I used the factory reset in the settings rather than through a reboot?
Please educate me. LOL

After you root, the phone stays rooted, simples as that.
To unroot you have to flash stock rom I guess, till then, the phone will continue rooted.
If you want to send to warranty, you have to unroot and go stock.

I dont believe a factory reset will unroot the phone. It will remove the superuser app, but the exploit will still be there. To completely unroot, you need to flash you variants tot/kdz file using the LG flash tool. That will delete and replace all files in every partition and show that your phone is unrooted. It will be exactly as it was when you opened the box.

Yeah I don't have SU right now, just need root for foxfi. And I've read about the process to return to stock, I thought that was necessary for the other root methods.

you should be able to download supersu from the play store and root for apps should be restored without having to return to stock.
