[Q] Unroot Galaxy S4 (i9505) from Omega Rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Thankfully before some months i bought my S4 and I rooted to Omega rom with your help.
Now I am sick of it and I want to sell the mobile.
How will I restore to completely default system so the warranty from Samsung is back?

[Q] Help with installing Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work

[Q] Donwgrade from custom ROM 4.4.4 to Stock 4.4.2

Hello!!!! First of all this is an awesome forum wich I read all the time and had helped me a lot with my old i9000. I really appreciate your hard work.
I got an i9500 that was in stock 4.4.2, so I updated it to a custom ROM 4.4.4 but the battery usage is more than I expected to be and the phone gets really hot, more than before.
Now I want to get back to stock 4.4.2 from 4.4.4. Is there any special procedure I need to do or I just flash it with ODIN and everything should be OK?
I will really appreciate any help in this matter.

Hi,
You have to fullwipe your device before and after you flash it. Then take the right 4.4.2 stock firmware and it will work.

So... this is what I'm going to do:
1.-Full Wipe. (cache, system, dalvik, etc.)
2.-Take the right stock 4.4.2 ROM and flash it with ODIN
3.-Another full wipe
Is that correct?
Thanks for your help.

For using towelroot, flash any version of 4.4.2 lower than the XXUGNG8 which does not have KNOX 2.0
Then towelroot
Press Thanks if I helped

Haha yes buddy..INDEED!
But ONLY ORIGINAL SAMSUNG STOCK FIRMWARES and custom RECOVERIES.
If you need to flash any custom roms, flash via custom recovery. Not all custom roms are odin compatable.

[Q] So I just bought my S4..

Hi everyone. I just bought my SGS4 today (i9505) and I want to know how to proceed before messing around. I searched a lot on the forums and on the internet but I can't figure out what to do.
I'm currently on 4.2.2 and I'd like to flash a custom rom without voiding the knox counter. How should I do?
Thanks in advance

Ok so.. Before rooting with Towelroot, should I upgrade to the latest available firmware? Also, once I want to go back to stock, how should I do?

Sry I've read you are on Version 4.4.2. My mistake.
So you currently run Android 4.2.2. Do you have the Knox bootloader already? It is inverted to all firmware builds MGG or higher.
When you don't have the Knox bootloader you can flash everything you want to and you are still able to reset the counter with triangle away.
When you are on the new Knox bootloader i would recommend you to upgrade to the latest Android version and then use the link I posted.

My build version ends with UDMGG so I believe I have knox. Before updating.. is it possible to revert to stock (for warranty pourposes) with the method you linked me?

You can mess around by safely using custom roms without tripping knox to.
The i9505 supports that too.

What would I have to do in order to revert to stock? That's my question. Sorry if it wasn't clear before.

Just flash stock rom via and youre done.
But remember once knox is tripped (0x1) you cannot make it okay.
That is why I said you can safely "mess around" with your i9505 by flashing custom roms without tripping knox.

Thank you sir.. Just to clarify: I could use the same method to flash the stock image? If this is correct, could you provide a link to these stock images?
Sorry for being such hesitant, but I don't want to screw up with my warranty. At least, not yet.
