Hi, I tried finding it a lot but could not find it anywhere. Can someone provide me with a flashable zip of stock rom? I do not want to use odin as it is 3 times the work.
If you are a dev, I'm pretty sure my request to make a stock rom flashable zip would be helpful to many people, not just me thanks in advance

Custom ROM if you want flashable zip, ODIN is the only method to flash stock.

I'm aware of that. I was wondering if someone could make a flashable zip. I'm no dev but I've been on xda long enough to know that isn't a difficult job. All of my previous phones had stock flashable zips so I was wondering if someone could do the deed and help us too. They are extremely helpful in flashing.
If you know how to make a flashable zip, I would wish you make one for us? it would be a great pleasure

Well trouble of doing a flashable stock zip is that you need to be able to change the kernel, and custom recovery. Not sure that changing the recovery to stock via a custom recovery flashable zip works? Although it might do. Interesting none the less, shall see if someone else will chime in and explain more..

Has anyone made a flashable rooted stock rom zip? A helpful user yesterday made a zip for unrooted stock rom but I think it would be useful having a rooted stock rom as well.
Dont know if its possible but it would make many situations a lot easier.

There like a 99.99999% chance you won't brick going from odex to deodexed
So yes you can install Sacs ROM .

All you have to do is flash Phiz recovery via PC Odin to give you a custom recovery. Here's the tar
However if you own Mobile Odin PRO, and since you say you are rooted, you can flash the .tar through Mobile Odin PRO. [just make sure it's updated to latest version]; then select 'recovery' in the options then the .tar.md5 file.
Download Sac's latest on you PC check the md5sum and transfer to you externalSD card, boot to recovery and flash 4.3
Then follow Sac's install instructions. Especially important is the wiping procedure. rlmiller has a good writeup here.
Spend some time reading and searching through the OPs and follow-up posts and you'll do okay.
Good luck.
Did you get it up and running?

And if you wanna re odex it... DL titanium backup and hit menu then press "integrate dalvik into sys" then reboot!
I want to update my i9505 to the latest android 4.3 through Odin but I don't want the new Knox bootloader, could someone please give me any instructions of how I could achieve this? I don't want to install the "custom" stock roms.
*EDIT*: Could someone also give me instructions on how to compile the edited firmware.
I tried to Google it but to no avail.
I shall be grateful to anyone who helps.

In order to remain on your old bootloader you will need to root. Any reason why you don't want to? Root, install a custom recovery then flash the pre rooted rom. They are stock based.

Thank you for your reply, I'm rooted with custom recovery. However I wish to create myself a Odin copy for emergency purposes, I currently have the official MGA firmware update for Odin. I want to create a Odin flash-able firmware update without the new bootloader,
EDIT: After going through the thread all the firmware files include the new know bootloader ;(
As far as I know you can't flash via odin. I suggest you flash the CWM version this has no bootloader. As your already rooted using the knox free cwm version is the safest bet at the moment.

Does the flashable one contain the modem and everything?

No modem, you can install that separately via Odin as we can't flash modems using CWM. It contains stock rom and stock kernel.

Why would you need someone else's nandroid?
Why don't you just simply download a fresh install package?

Just download any custom rom install package and flash with custom recovery.
Obviously you already have custom recovery.
I don't believe bootloader version matters for custom rom.

Sorry I don't know about miui never used it on sg4, I used it on HTC desire HD and never liked it.
With out knowing myself, can you not flash custom rom at all,? have you actually tried? Does it error out while install any custom rom?
I'm not advanced enough with sg4 and I'm still on old bootloader so no idea about this BS bootloader issues so I'll back out now and I hope someone smarter can help.
(Can't remember having these BS issues with my old HTC's)

thanks
Someone else's nandroid isn't going to fix this issue for you. Once you've got the new bootloader, that's it.
any ideas?? i really want to flash the new kit kat for my d800 but i dont want to go back to stock, so i just want to create a flashable zip to flash it via twrp.
any ideas?
You have to wait until someone who knows how to do it comes out with a flashable zip. I don't think it's that easy for regular flashers to create.
