So here's what happened. Unrooted my s4 to get the 4.3 update. Don't care about warranty issues so then I rooted again and installed CWM recovery and then wireless teather hack. After restart it just sticks on sprint screen. Being hasty and stupid I did not back up stock firmware before I installed the teather hack. Is there a way to get the stock rom back on this rooted phone. So far all I can find is the stock firmware to keep the former bootloader. Will this tar file work for me as well? Help greatly appreciated.

If you want to download the stock MJA you can go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47359331 Then you can re root and then use Philz Touch CWM. You should be good to go..

Your going to have to be a little more specific.. Ex:Which recovery did you try flashing? What are you on MF9, MJA.

Was on sacs 4.2 rom with MF9. flashed up to Sacs 4.3MJA rom. Didnt really care for it so I restored my backup of sacs 4.2 MF9 using philz touch. I have not done the ota either.

Well, i reflashed sacs 4.3 rom and its working again...I think we will leave well enough alone for the night.
I've been searching around as much as possible but the XDA search function seems to be broken because no matter what I put in the search field it returns no results.
I updated my S4 to the latest OTA and am now on MJA. I rooted it and installed TWRP. Reading all this stuff about MJA and Knox has me worried I might screw something up so I want to make sure before I proceed with flashing roms. Can I flash roms now without worrying? Can I flash 4.4 and not brick my phone? I don't really care about tripping counters or voiding warranties.

Well first off, I don't think TWRP is playing nice with the MJA update at the moment so I would recommend using Philz Touch CWM recovery, Then just head on over to the rom threads,and check them out to see which one would best suit your needs. I myself am running Stock Rooted but it's just my personal preference..:thumbup:

Thankyou, there isn't much concise info on the MJA update and what we can and cannot do with it.

I've been using custom roms for a while but I want to just go back to completely stock, except for root of course. I'm not exactly sure how to do that though, could someone help me?

Hey everyone,
I'm currently on a stock rooted mf9 rom with the hotspot mod and I'm encountering a few issues. I can't really have any issues right now as I'm busy with school, so I just want to go back to completely stock, preferably how I got the phone. I knew how to do this on my old og evo, but Samsung phones are very different from old htc phones. Can anyone tell me how to do this (in detail) or can anyone post a link to the directions?
Thank you guys so much in advance.

Thank you so much. That video was actually fantastic.
Is there any chance that I could just download the newest update instead of MF9, or should I go to unrooted MF9 first and then update?
