[Q] [HELP] Trying to Completely Reset GS4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hey guys. So I have a Galaxy S4 with CM 10.2 on it. I'm going to be giving this phone as a gift to a family member, but they would rather have the stock ROM on it. How do I reset the phone to its stock ROM without unrooting it?

Downlod the odexed version from this thread and flash it from recovery like any new ROM, most recoveries will have a "Reset & Wipe" function, do that first.

[Q] Galaxy S4 I9505 NL boots back in recovery after flashing 4.4.x ROM

Hi guys,
I have a little problem with my phone that makes it impossible to install 4.4 ROM's.
It keeps rebooting back in recovery or it hangs at the samung boot logo after i flash the rom.
With the CM 11 rom i managed to get past the samsung boot logo but sadly enough it gets stuck on boot(even after several wipes)
I always make sure to do all the wipes that are needed (normally provided in the rom thread)
4.3 roms install without problems btw.
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 (Unlocked)
Bought in the Netherlands
I've tried a few recovery's:
philz_touch_6.07.9-jfltexx
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx
CWM_6.0.4.4_Non-Touch_GT-I9505
Also i've tried the following roms:
[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - RC2 - Feel the Experience of Nexus
cm-11-20131129-Albinoman887-jfltexx-port
[ANDROID 4.4.2][ROM][I9505] Echoe Kit Kat v.2.1 (OTA CUSTOMIZATION)
danvdh-GE-4.4.2-12192013
I really dont know how to fix this since there arent any threads for this problem.
Maybe my phone is just from a bad batch
Hope you guys can help me and thanks in advance!

i9506; is there a 4.4.x TouchWiz ROM that can be flashed from recovery?

I'm currently running CM 11 nightlies and have a custom recovery on my i9506, but would love to play around with the stock ROM. The thing is it's a pain to use other programs to "factory restore" the device (erasing the custom recovery, having to work out how to root it again, stripping out a bit of bloat/knox).
Do you guys know if anyone's released a flashable .zip of the stock 4.4.x TouchWiz ROM which is pre-rooted, knox removed and ready to tweak?
I would ask in the i9506 forum but I don't want to clutter it with non-ROM threads.
Thanks guys.

Choosing a Custom Rom (version)

Hi all,
I have a question about choosing a custom ROM. My phone was running android 4.4.2 before I started flashing custom roms with TWRP. I have flashed a custom rom based on 4.4.2 (CM11) and 5.1.1 (CM12.1). I saw a custom rom based on 4.3 that I was interested in trying. Am I able to flash the 4.3 rom (after a factory reset of course)?
Sorry if this is a newb question, but I really dont want to destroy my phone doing something stupid.
Thanks!

i9506 does not start after flashing a custom ROM (worked before with cm 12.1)

Hi guys,
today i tried to flash another custom ROM. I had running a cm12.1 build to that point. However after successfully flashing ROM][16-08-15][GT-I9506][5.0.2][PORT] Darklord Galaxy S6 v3.0 for S4 using the latest philz recovery, my phone wont do much more than displaying the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo. I can boot into download mode or recovery. But the rom wont boot. Any help is appreciated. Not sure what infos you need, so plz just tell me if you need more info to help me.
thanks akku

You should probably use the latest TWRP since Philz is outdated and not maintained anymore.
