help needed restoring to a clean fresh firmware - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone.
I'm wanting a little help on how to firstly restore my galaxy s4 then updating it to the latest firmware 4.3.
I want to root in the future so need some info on which KNOX free firmware i should use.
I have at the moment a galaxy s4 Rooted on 4.2.2.
I have a lot of crap on it so thats why i wanted to do a fresh install.
I have an unlocked s4 so i can use BTU firmware in United Kingdom (UK).
I wanted some help on how i should go about this and what software etc i should use.
My baseband version is i9505XXUBMEA. Would this need to be the same as the new one that i will be upgrading to 4.3 ?
All the help will be much apreciated.
P.s. i'v searched a lot of places and articles are not that clear. I hope someone can help me out here.
Im still confused.
Thanks
Ozzy

For make a hard reset u dont need flash ur firmware again. Only u have to:
1. Wake your Samsung Galaxy S4
2. Navigate to and tap on Settings.
3. Go to Accounts
4. Tap Backup & reset.
5. Select Factory data reset.
6. You will see a warning – read it and tap Reset phone.
7. Now tap Erase everything.
8. That's it. It will let ya the phone like the first day u turned on ur smartphone
EDIT: I dont recommend u update to 4.3. Simply coz u will have Knox actived and when u will root it ur warranty will be VOID. My council is wait till we can find a solution for KNOX. If u are in 4.2.2 enjoy it

[Q] Problem with ROOT, ROM and Recovery

Hi,
I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...
But I tried to start doing it.
I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!
At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.
He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.
Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:
"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."
What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.
And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.
Please, help me!
I don't know what to do and this is my first post.
Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.
Thank you!

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?
Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble
Do the following for now:
1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.
2. Download Odin 3.04 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.
3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)
4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.
5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)
6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.
Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.

By now I just need to get my normal Rom to recieve Samsung's upgrades!
What can I do to reverse it!?
I thought I did nothing, because it faild, but something happened...
And now I cant put on recovery mode!
I'm afraid to do anything!
Can I undo all of these and have my normal original rom without root?
and if I reset it, will I lose all my stuff?
It says on the "about":
"Device's Status: personalize"
It doesnt say its modified!
but when I look for upgrade it says...

Do as said in the post above first. Then install Triangle Away and use that to reset the counter, when its done go straight to downloadmode and reflash the rom you have now with Odin 3.04, after it boots do a data factory reset and you`re fully stock with everything Official.

Yes, you can go back.
The easiest way is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, search for the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252855 and follow the instructions.

[Q] galaxy s4 gti9505 WAS rooted but cant change status back to normal

hi all, as you can tell, im a noob well, I have a samsung galaxy s4 gti9505 that I rooted with odin WHEN I had a pc, and it just so happens, whenever I root an android, it works but then things start to go wrong like lagging, freezing, drainage of the battery really fast ect. So this time I decided to google how to unroot my phone without a pc to fix my problem. I did that using super su or something which had the unroot option witch I did successfully. But just a few moments ago, I was just checking to see if there were any updates available for my phone because my camera decided to stop working, (well the camera works but when trying to record, a pop-up box appears saying camera failed). So when I tried to update, it said that I cant update because my phone is modified, now as stated above, I am a noob to this subject so please be patient with me trying to comprehend the technical terms use will use hahaha. Can someone please explain to me if it is possible to change the status from custom to normal without the help of a computer? Thanks in advance
help meeh please
Can anyone help?
I don't understand why you want to return back to stock without computer/laptop. In any case following instruction will help you to return your S4 back to stock:
1.First you need to download official firmware for your region from this site: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
2. Second upload it to phone with Odin http://www.andromint.com/download-odin-latest-version/
If needed you can also use Triangle away to reset custom flash count.
That's all...
.
Dear all,
I have a similar question.
I've rooted my i9500. I wonder is there any way to roll back my phone like Triangel Away etc. I mean in case of any guarantee situation.
As far as understand, as of now no way to reset.
I hope someone can find a way to reset everyhing to get warranty back.

Flash official firmware with Odin PC should do the job. I pretty sure counter will be reset too.

You don't need to un-root before flash ... you will for sure lose root anyway

Is there any way i can download at more than 200KB's?
http://puu.sh/4YTbL.png
Cause the captcha for the rom download on the link says it's wrong even when i type it right..
I must do something wrong here, because it's not working for me.
I followed the instructions and device still says it is modified and it will not check for updates from samsung.
What is my next step?
Procedure so far:
Gained root acces with ODIN
I did not flash a custom rom.
Used Triangle away to reset counter (counter checked 0 afterwards)
Flashed Galaxy stock firmware downloaded from internet (PHN-I9505XXUDMHB-20130922121848.zip unpacked this once) with ODIN
Furthermore, regarding KNOX reading:
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X1
(I suppose the latter means Samsung still is able to see I did something)
Would a hard reset solve this issue do you think?

I tried below but my phone is struck at intital logo Samsung galaxy S4 screen its not turning on.
Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY (I9505 ONLY, I9500 is NOT SUPPORTED YET)
NOTE: There is an option "System modified workaround", please tick this and restart your phone. Device Status should be back to OFFICIAL!! Use it with caution!!
Next few steps are ONLY for people who couldn't reset it with Triangle Away...
1. Reboot into Download Mode and check if Binary & System are OFFICIAL.
2. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
3. In some cases FACTORY DATA RESET (Phone Settings=>Accounts=>Backup & reset =>Factory Data Reset) is required to reset Device Status.
You probably just need to do a factory reset. If the Odin flash was successful, simply boot into recovery (volume up+home+power) delete user data. reboot.
not working
still struck on samething no progress after logo
need serious help
my phone is not working need urgent help
Why do you start messing with your phone when you have no idea what you are doing? Thats just dumb.
What are you doing with Triangle Away? Do you have any idea what it does?
Stop messing with your phone before you make it worse! Just chill and start reading the forums!
Tell us STEP BY STEP, what you did with your phone. Stop saying help my phone doesn't work. That's USELESS information! We need details.
Omega Pro had helped me
I tried to install Google android 4.3 (nexus) on my phone i was successful but i didnt like that as it disable all the samsung features(palm,autostay) i tried to remove that but i messed something here i tried reset in TWRP after that my phone didnt start it was struck on samsung logo.
I tried to install google 4.3 again and it worked i had installed Omega rom its working fine but i do see my phone is slow i am still thinking of going back to actual android 4.2.2 version if u can help that would be great.
Thanks all for ur help.

Download Samsung Kies,
Go to tools and click firmware upgrade and initialization
If you have 9505 type in Model: GT-I9505 If you have 9500 type in Model: GT-9500
Now it will ask your S/N Number. If you cannot boot to android then pull out the battery and there must be S/N Number (NOT Battery S/N)
If you can boot to android, then go to Settings, touch more then scroll down find and touch about device, then touch status, scroll down and see the serial number
type it in Kies
Then follow instruction from kies
you must boot to download mode first (you can do this with: turn off the device then press Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button and then if you release it and press volume up to continue it)
not working
When i tried got error saying GT-I9505 does not support intializing

Kies won't work because you have a custom rom installed.
Why dont you just flash a custom rom in the recovery?
1. Do a factory reset in recovery. Wipe system/data/cache.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
It's as simple as that.
Or do you want to flash a stock rom? If so, make sure you flash a knox disabled stock rom.

I'm sure you can get it running with odin. Download Odin ver 3.07. Download the stock mh6 firmware from sammobile.com. it's a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in odin, PDA slot. Only have auto-reboot checked in Odin.

In order for me to help u ....i need to know from which part that u don't understand.....as per XDA rules u need to READ before posting ....... STOCK phone is always recomended ......let's start with the easier way:
1. Put update.zip in your Sd Card
2. Reboot phone to recovery by power off your phone. Use combo Button ( VolUp+Home key+Power button) hold them together and when u feel vibration let go power button while still holding VolUP and Home key .....and then u would see samsung galaxy S4 black splash screen and small tiny reboot recovery..... on top left and u can let go both Vol Up and Home key......that's should bring u to android stock recovery.
3. choose apply or install update zip from external sd card......wait...... and reboot system when is done or it might reboot automatic.....Woollaa.....now u have 4.3 android MK2 firmware
But IF doesn't work u need do these following in order for u to do
Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]adb sideload update.zip[/COLOR][/B]
4. U need Samsung USB driver install to your PC ......Install SAMSUNG KIES and plug your phone.....it will install latest driver for your phone
5. Make sure u unable USB debugging mode on ur phone.....go to menu>settings>more> it should be on top of about device ( Developer options ) but if u dont have it go to about device and click build number 4/5 time....so that will unable developer optins and CHECK USB DEBUGGING.
6. Make sure u have latest ADB ( Android Debugging Bridge ) version 1.0.31.... ANDROID SDK
Well u might already knew all these step.......and hopefully this wil get u start it if u dont...... please PM me if u need anymore help.....

Well For Verizon is different firmware ( I545VRUAxxx ) and ATT firmware ( I337UCUAxxx ) If i were u i just keep 4.2.2 ....root it,install custom recovery....and since u still on 4.2.2 is alot easier to install custom 4.3 base rom or even GPE 4.4.2 KitKat,AOKP, AOSP,CM ....but with 4.3 MK2 bootloader are locked so tight your only hope is Safestrap recovery for now but very limited to install custom 4.3 TW rom maybe 2 or 3 would boot up.People are dying to have older firmware so they able to do what ever they want to their phone. The reason they update is because ATT and VRZ want to lock the bootloader so we are not able to flash custom rom beside OTA ...u can always go to SAMSUNG FIRMWARE UPGRADE to check if there is update.zip files or u can always go to Verizon Galaxy S4 FORUM

1. Warranty void: 1 -> You void ur warranty when u rooted ur phone in android 4.3. You dont have to worry about the other words
2. You have to do the process of root 2 times sometimes. Try it and tell me how it works :highfive:

Maybe ur phone is rooted but the icon doesn't appears. This happened to me too:
1. Install this app and verify u are rooted: HERE
2.Only you have to do a backup of your Internal memory and do factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything). It will reboot and u will see the icon of SuperSU again :highfive:

1. You can't come back. (You can try but u will have millions of problems -> no wifi, no network signal, random reboots, overheating... without solutions)
2. About Multiroom -> Ask in the correct thread
