S4 unroot file please!

Hey everyone,
Can someone post the 4.3 unrooted rom I need to UN root my phone.. The isssues i've been having I talked to my buddy at sprint and he said to unroot it and bring it in for exchange...
" his phone does the same as mine " but my wifes does not...
Idk worth a try I guess.
I found CNEXUS's post about unrooting but the file has been removed..
AGAIN I want to unroot to stock rom..
Thanks
Steven

It was removed because it didn't work.
Just Odin the MJA.tar and you'll be back to unrooted stock.

This will make it possible for you to restore back to a clean 4.3 MJA state. It's for use with the Odin software.

How fast is your internet ?
And the file is in a zip. So you have to unzip then use the tar file.

Just to be clear, you download to your computer and use odin to flash the stock tar file not recovery.

After flashing stock mja i get boot loops on sprint logo. Any solution for that?
---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------
I wanted to go to stock firmware and i downloaded the official mja stock firmware. I was on sacs 4.3 v4 . Went through odin , put the phone in download mode and flashed the stock firmware. Everything went fine booted normally passed the galaxy s4 logo , the samsung logo and after i got to the yellow sprint logo i got stuck there. I left phone for more than 15 minutes nothing happened. After that i removed battery left the phone for 5 minutes and booted back again and now it wont even pass galaxy s4 logo. It reboots immediently. Now phone goes ONLY in download mode. I can not get into recovery but i can flash things through odin. Even custom recoveries. BUT I CANT ACCESS THEM through the traditional method(Hardware buttons) . Adb doesnt show my device serial number so i can put it into recovery from there. Any help please ?

I had the same happen when i went back to stock. I odin again waited 10min on sprint screen then booted

So I think I figured out my issue. Even tho my friend at sprint said his phone does the same.

Any os rom for our phone that will bring mine back to 4.2.2?
I know about getting it to my comouter. We dont have interwebs at the house. Just our phones

So basicly I need to wait it out until its fixed.
Even changing the phone for a new one wont change it. Theyll all be 4.3.
Does anyone else have this issue after switching to 4.3.
I have tried numerous roms. And nothing has fixed it. Except gokng to optons. More networks. Mobile. And switching off the lte and going to cdma only.
Thanks in advance

[Q] How Do I Get To MF9 From MK2? Sprint S4

So i updated to MK2 firmware this morning from OTA with my phone running Stock 4.3 MJA. I now realize there's a problem, as it WILL NOT LET ME TURN WI-FI ON. Each time I try, it force switches it off and brings up a KNOX notification saying that the attempt has been blocked. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get back to the older firmware such as MF9 from MK2 right now? Also, I tried going back to MDC using Odin 3.07 and Odin 1.85, neither worked. Please help.

You can't.. Once your on MJA that's where you are stuck although I believe you can go from MK2 to MJA but that's about it. Otherwise there is no downgrading to any previous firmwares. Please read through the threads... All answers are here if you read...

Hmmmm...I'm now on MK2...just hoping there's some way to get back to MJA even. Also, another thing has caught my eye when the phone turned on. Music force closes and sound doesnt work one bit. Is there any way to factory restore the device at the moment with/ without using Odin? Like an MK2 factory reset file?

Also, Sound doesnt work and Music force closes when i try to use it. Do you know of a way to hibernate or kill any knox related processes in the system so that it stops turning my Wifi off?

If he didn't take the ota he could of went back. Is that correct? Taking the ota locks the bootloader. If he updated with Odin and Philz recovery he could of keep the mf9 bootloader allowing him to down grade
Love the 90s good times

Waiting for the OP to post back if he was successful in downgrading MK2 to MJA by running the full MJA tar file. I know you can't go back farther than MJA but hoping we can at least downgrade back to MJA if we need to after a failed upgrade or bad ota.

I have downgraded mk2 to mja working fine no Knox flags tripped (still at 0×0). 100% stock everything.

I actually took the OTA from MJA to MK2. thought it would be a better update since it said that before i installed it. Instead, it causes more bugs on my phone, where i cant use Wifi and even play Music, let alone the fact that no sound plays at all on anything and i can't make a call...as the Phone app freezes when i try to make a call.

Please tell me what files you used. because at this point, I just wanna watch a simple Youtube video and call my friends! All of my data (contacts, pics, music) is already backed up on my computer. I don't have Root and i tripped the knox flag once so it says 0x1 which pissed me off

Hey thanks for being great helpers with helping me and my phone troubles...apparently my phone works again! Knox is not blocking my wifi and my sound and Music and Calls and everything is working! I'll post a new thread if any problems arise with this update. But to be honest...stick with MJA guys. Don't go through the same trouble i went through. Too much stress to handle when u can't make a single call or play your fave song or even connect to your beloved Wifi hotspot!

I can confirm that you can downgrade from mk2 to mja as I have done it. They process want difficult at all. Going that OP can get it going and it works out for them.

Ok one question...when u downgraded, where did u find the file? And did the file wipe your data?

I used this. It did wipe everything from my phone. I just made sure to back up everything I wanted to save on my sd card using super backup. You can find that on the play store.

I had the same issue with WiFi not working and get the message. (For details: On a Stock rooted S4, Updated the Security policy and then flashed the MK2 modem).
I went to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42954149 and followed the exact instructions to go back to MJA. It worked. I didn't lose anything. Only a ~26mb download.
Hope this helps.

I had the exact same problem as the OP with wifi and KNOX notifications upon toggling wifi. This had to do with a bad update which I believe was a result of rooting my phone. Something is weird with recovery after rooting the phone with cf autoroot as it no longer looks like the stock MJA recovery. So when I manually installed the MK2 update using what I believed was the stock recovery, I experienced serious issues such as what the OP described.
In any case, I used ODIN to flash the MJA tar which restored everything back to normal. Then I used the stock recovery to apply the update zip file and everything went without a problem. Then I flashed cf autoroot with ODIN and again, the recovery looks different from the stock MJA and MK2 recovery, but everything works fine. I did not do a data wipe during any step of the process and have seen no ill effects so far.
So the take home message is, if you rooted the phone ODIN stock MJA or MK2 if it becomes available before applying any future updates manually. Or ODIN a stock recovery file for your current ROM if one is available. KNOX has nothing to do with this. I disabled KNOX and still could not turn on wifi.

What if you have mf9 baseband? Can i down grade from mk2 to mf9 and if so how do I do this?

Issues Flashing Back to Stock/Unroot w/Odin

So I am no noob, but I am to this device. I am trying to use Odin to flash back to bone stock (unrooted) and am having some weird issues I have never incurred before. When I flash the stock tar file (got from QBKing77's website) it continually fails no matter what cable, USB port, battery tricks, everything! And yes I have searched the threads but found nothing like my issue exactly.
Here's what I've done thus far:
* 12/14 Bought device at Best Buy Mobile
* 12/14 Rooted using Odin, flashed TWRP Recovery using Odin
* 12/14 Flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.2 (stable build)
* 12/16 Flashed S4 Premium Rom 4.2.2
* 12/17 Attempted to Odin back to stock **FAIL**
What is going on here? If anyone has any info or insight please let me know. Odin has never failed me before.
Thanks everyone.

I am on baseband version L720VPUEMJA. I hope that's what you are asking. Again, I am new to this device, sorry.
The Stock ROM I am trying to Odin to is L720/L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_SPR (exact tar file on QBKing's website)
I am currently on the S4 Premuim v1.0 ROM 4.2.2.
I want to get back to stock because I may need to return this phone due to some cosmetic issues I am having.
I want to thank you all for helping me, you are all super helpful and cool. I am looking forward to sharing in the coolness of the S4!

Okay makes sense. So when I find one of those builds, will they be tar files for Odin, and when I do flash it will it unroot and bring my phone completely back to stock with no signs of tampering? BTW, I already used Traingle Away to reset the flash counter. I'm not sure if that even means anything on these devices, but I did it anyway, and it worked great.
THANKS AGAIN BROTHER!!! You are awesome!

Yes sir that is correct,tar files for Odin...Now, you said that there weren't any signs of tampering. Did you check in download mode? If you did truly have MJA installed then you should see something like Knox Warranty Void 0x1...Also if your planning on returning the phone then why not just flash the official MK2 from Sammobile:

[Q] Noob here, Help Needed (what's new)

Hello,
First off I am very new to this. I always try to be as careful as possible and do as much research as I can. I follow all the steps as directed and ask questions ahead of time before screwing things up.
My problem now is I accepted an OTA update to 4.3 from what I thought was a stock 4.2.2. Apparently I was wrong and the superUSER app was still installed on my phone. I no longer have the ability to use my WiFi- (I switch the toggle and it just stays off) I have tried to reset and restore. I have tried to delete all data and re-install. I have tried everything I'm comfortable with at this point. I dont know if I should try using ODIN to flash stock since I probably have a knox bootlocker and dont want to do more damage. I am posting photos because I noticed my naseband and my build number don't match up. I am afraid im stuck in between 4.2.2 and 4.3. I would greatly appreciate any advice or even a push in the right direction. I have been searching trying to find a solution for over a month and the most I can get is... "your an idiot, dont update OTA while rooted, etc etc" Hindsight is 20/20. Thank you again for your time.

I am not an expert but from what Im seeing your on a 4.3 rom but the modem did not update. Your modem is still mf9. I would flash a 4.2 rom and go from there. I don't want to give the wrong info hopefully someone can chime in that knows more than me.

Yeah that is what I was noticing as well. I have soft bricked my phone twice now trying to use odin and going back to a stock 4.2. The flash says fail everytime. I am wondering if KNOX is blocking ODIN from flashing the new ROM. Thanks for your quick response and I guess this means I am on the right path. Now I just need to find a way to flash a stock 4.2 on my fluster clucked half 4.2 half 4.3 phone.

I do know that once you're on MJA there's no going backwards. Try odining the modem. Make sure you turn your phone off...then boot to DL mode. Don't just boot to DL mode seems to work better that way.

I would suggest first trying to reinstall your mf9 modem via odin , if that doesn't work I'd try to install the mja modem via odin. You can find the links to files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42954149&postcount=2
And a thread about a similar issue so you can get a better idea of what you need to do.

Sounds like you're trying to flash a firmware other than MJA or MK2. You are most likely on the latest firmware and trying to flash a previous one.Look for an MJA or MK2 and you should be good to go.

Hey thanks for responding. I have been trying to flash the MK2 firmware over and over again using the newest Odin. I have also gottent he phone working again by loading a stock rom off external_sd, but now my wifi isn't working. I know that's an issue with the Modem not being updated, correct? Everytime I attempt to install the MX2 firmware it FAIL! (Auth). The only thing Odin seems to want to install is custom recoveries. Gladly, I am not bricked, but I did stay home from my first class today to fix my phone Any idea on getting the WiFi working?

Unfortunately, I tripped the KNOX Flag, but I'm not worried about my warranty currently because I do know what I'm doing for the most part, except this is my first time rooting/unlocking a phone instead of a tablet so it's much more intricate.
Thanks

Although I'm still on MJA I've heard of people having success by just flashing the MK2 modem. Just look for the modem and flash it with Odin.

I also figured out that my phone and Kies is reporting the following:

CSC: MK2
Is MK5 even a thing???? I'm so confused
UPDATE:
So I didn't realize that I had the SPH-720T so I was trying to flash the wrong firmware, and when I installed the custom rom, my firmwares were mismatched; therefore causing the errors. It's flashing the MX5 PDA file successfully as we speak. I will update further on what happens.
UPDATE 2:
The Firmware installed as it should have and my wifi is indeed working again. Phone is clearly functioning and everything seems to be in order. Now I will never touch my phone ever again until I learn more about the ROMs and compatibility.

Dude what I'm saying is I try to flash the MK2 Modem file, but Odin just gives me a "FAIL! (Auth)" error every time.
I also figured out that my phone and Kies is reporting the following:

Probably shouldn't have revived this dead thread, but since I'm a nice person, here. The mirror sucks. You can wait a few hours and I'll upload it to a better mirror, or sit through the ****ty 150KB/s download speed.

Hey I know the thread is dead, but When you installed the new Modem did you end up having to wipe the current Rom you installed? I was just curious if you got it running on your custom rom with the new modem. Figured Id ask while waiting for the dinosaur download speed. Thanks again!

I haven't tried because that file isn't the modem its the whole 4.3 rom and boot loader. that's why it's 2.1 GB. I ended up bricking my phone until I found the MX5 firmware. so I have no clue. I'm done messing with Roms until developers start working on the triband version of the S4
