[Q] Factory reset after installing stock rom?

Hi
Just installed the UK stock rom over the EE branded version. The guide I read said about factory reseting the phone. How vital is that? I hate reinstalling apps and configuring the settings and accounts.
Cheers

If you don't want to do it then only do it if things start crashing.

[Q] System Update

Hey guys,
Whenever there is a new system update on my galaxy s4 (this time, JB4.3), it downloads, and then I click restart and install. Instead of booting normally, it boots into recovery and does nothing. I use TWRP. It launches and does nothing. Then I have to reboot and don't get the update. Does anyone know how to fix this? Now the update won't show up for another week.
Thanks in advance,
Gameriot

By the way I have a Google edition galaxy s4 on AT&T.

? you're getting a 4.3 OTA? im assuming you're running a GE ROM?
what ROM are you running? OTAs never apply when you're running a custom recovery.

[Q] Noob bricks his S4...and recovers; but needs help fixing

I successfully installed something like MF9HotspotMod last month and everything was cool until I did the Android 4.3 update. Then I attempted to root the phone again and bricked it for a day with in stuck on the yellow sprint screen until I did my next trick.
I went into recovery and installed jlftespr_mja_text2.zip after trying many attempts I read off of forums. This was the only rom that actually got my phone to work.
Everything looks good except for a had some issues with the phone not working in LTE areas. Sprint said to turn LTE off and set the phone to CDMA only (that really didn't solve the issue but got them off the phone.)
How can I get this back to as close to as possible stock rom, something that will run the Multiwindow App that uses Xpose Installater (the best thing to happen to phones since the G1 came out!), and get free wifi hotspot?
Android 4.3
L720VPUEMJA
Kernal: 3.4.0-1927016
se [email protected]#1
Build Number
JSS15J.L720VPUEMJA
If you want to get back to stock you have a couple of options, download the full MJA tar from sammobile or a mirror site and install via odin, then root it with cf autoroot and install the MJA hot-spot mod. Or download the rooted stock MJA rom from the development section and install then install the hot-spot mod. Simon center you are having problems with your radio, I would recommend starting crash with the full tar.

You need to download that tar file and odin and just flash it. This will delete your internal memory and then try to perform ##27286# in the dial pad and try it and see if it works.

When you say "the tar file"- are you talking about the third one on the of the link you sent, the kernel?

Nope not the kernel just the one of the other two zips. The kernel is built in the the tar file. Just download which ever one. Extract it, you just get a .tar.md5 file. Start odin and put it in the pda slot. Set the phone in download mode. Connect to the phone. Flash it. BTW THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY SO MAKE A SAFE! BEFORE ANYTHING! Once that is done. Boot into recovery. Should be stock recovery now. Just do a factory reset and reboot. And presto you should be stock mja. Just go to the dial pad and enter ##27286# and it should reboot a couple of times. And see if that helps you.

As long as you've got a custom recovery installed, you should be able to install a ROM. Just wipe system etc and install a new one. Ota updates only work on stock recovery as far as I know.

I would run the MK2 or NAE tar file from the development section. It will restore your phone to factory setup. However it will install the Knox bootloader. It's likely the easiest path.

Here's the MK2 TAR 4.3

And the NAE TAR 4.4

As long as the device has a clean ESN with Sprint the buyer shouldn't have any problem activating service. This is the case whether it's rooted or not.

I've seen it take a good few min to push through after running the file. Those tar files need patience.

You might try downloading again. Could be a bad file. Perhaps try an updated version of Odin. Don't know off hand what's noted in the thread. Check the thread for similar issues too. Sammobile has the tar files too, if you want to try another source.

It's worth a shot. Something has to be going wrong in the steps or the file. If the phone was working before.

Just boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot and profit.
