I asked this before but didn't get a good answer.
Why is it that you can update to a mj7 rom and an mj7 baseband, yet still be able to restore to my mi9 backup? What is not updating that allows me to go back I'm missing something.

Hello,
Apologies if I didnt find it after searching but:
I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy
Thanks!

That means, flash the Odin? I have a such rooted ROM and I still have twrp.

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

I used to be on stock recovery rooted and was able to update ota while keeping root with ota rootkeeper... And stock recovery

Every rot method I've seen requires installing a custom recovery. Either twrp or cwm.

Moto root chopper

So, you want a recovery that has no abilities? No backups. .. no restores. ... reinstall motochopper then.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.
This morning I got a notification on my note saying there is an update for the Verizon note.
I am rooted and am using all sorts or apps like nova and texted.
Will this update remove or break anything?

What build number are you on. How did u root. Did you use kingo?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Don't take the update, you'll lose root. Open titanium backup and freeze sdm 1.0 to stop the update notifications.

You are correct, I lost root.
I am a noob when it comes to android. I came from the Iphone world. Can I re flash with the De vaga? To get root back?
Frooze it with Titanium Backup Pro
I frooze the SDM part with Titanium backup. I hope this works - this morning I delayed the update to 5pm so I hope when this time rolls around that I won't be bothered with the update. I am running the N900VVRUBMI9 baseband version and really hope that the safestrap method works and that we soon get custom roms that will make this a thing of past.

DO NOT DO THIS. Flashing back to MI9 from the new update will fail in odin and at worst will softbrick you and you'll need to flash the pit file

So you know this will unroot you aswell. Might delete internal also so backup anything important just in case.

Is that 100% stock tar for Odin Samsung update is down.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
That will definitely delete all of your data I just odind back to stock yesterday and it's a good thing I backed up my internal storage or else I would have lost everything. How come you're going back to stock if you want a very stable rom I would recommend @sac23 sacs custom ROM v8 I am currently using it and I have not found any bugs I also have amazing battery life

I might have been using a modified tar to not wipe. I'm sorry its been a while since I used one so I'm not 100% sure.

No offense to any dev that may see this, but just can't find a rom the catches my eye. Only one MIUI, but there's no support for it anymore.

I've seen a Verizon version but nothing safe released so far for Sprint... Is that correct?
No that is not correct. You can root MK2 the same way that you root any of the stock Sprint versions.
Please search. There are a dozen people over in the Q&A section (where this should have been posted) who have asked this same question in the last 2 weeks.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
I did look but didn't see any for Sprint that were reliable. I (and others) have had SU binary issues when using other methods. Do you have any links?
Thanks for the reply!

It's unfortunately not possible because of the difference in the kernel.
