II'm currently running version 4.3 and am rooted however need to get back to stock mode. I tried using the odin tool along with the samsung drivers but I can't seem to find my firmware that I need. Can someone please direct me to where I can find the stock firmware for 4.3 S4 SGH-1337? And what procedure I would use to go back to stock. I would greatly appreciate it.

Alright, bit of a noob here in regards to the new mk2 update. I'm trying to get this done and keep running into brick walls.
Problem: Have to flash stock recovery and unroot my s4 to get the OTA or sideloaded mk2 update. Have no stock rom with which to flash. Sammobile doesn't have the firmware available for download to reflash stock everything on my phone.
1) Do any of you most awesome people have a link to a downloadable stock unrooted mja ROM that I can flash on this phone to restore stock recovery?
2) Is there a way to restore the stock recovery without flashing the stock rom?
I searched and couldn't find an unrooted ROM. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

No problem!
Download the ROM here. Thanks to RWilco12 for housing it even when Sammobile took it down.
http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...axy S4 (SPH-L720)/Stock ROMs/MJA/Original TAR
I would download and use Odin 3.09 as well.
Good luck!

Thanks I was looking for this too! Just in case
Hello,
First off I am very new to this. I always try to be as careful as possible and do as much research as I can. I follow all the steps as directed and ask questions ahead of time before screwing things up.
My problem now is I accepted an OTA update to 4.3 from what I thought was a stock 4.2.2. Apparently I was wrong and the superUSER app was still installed on my phone. I no longer have the ability to use my WiFi- (I switch the toggle and it just stays off) I have tried to reset and restore. I have tried to delete all data and re-install. I have tried everything I'm comfortable with at this point. I dont know if I should try using ODIN to flash stock since I probably have a knox bootlocker and dont want to do more damage. I am posting photos because I noticed my naseband and my build number don't match up. I am afraid im stuck in between 4.2.2 and 4.3. I would greatly appreciate any advice or even a push in the right direction. I have been searching trying to find a solution for over a month and the most I can get is... "your an idiot, dont update OTA while rooted, etc etc" Hindsight is 20/20. Thank you again for your time.

I am not an expert but from what Im seeing your on a 4.3 rom but the modem did not update. Your modem is still mf9. I would flash a 4.2 rom and go from there. I don't want to give the wrong info hopefully someone can chime in that knows more than me.

Yeah that is what I was noticing as well. I have soft bricked my phone twice now trying to use odin and going back to a stock 4.2. The flash says fail everytime. I am wondering if KNOX is blocking ODIN from flashing the new ROM. Thanks for your quick response and I guess this means I am on the right path. Now I just need to find a way to flash a stock 4.2 on my fluster clucked half 4.2 half 4.3 phone.
I do know that once you're on MJA there's no going backwards. Try odining the modem. Make sure you turn your phone off...then boot to DL mode. Don't just boot to DL mode seems to work better that way.

I would suggest first trying to reinstall your mf9 modem via odin , if that doesn't work I'd try to install the mja modem via odin. You can find the links to files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42954149&postcount=2
And a thread about a similar issue so you can get a better idea of what you need to do.

I'll start off with the phone details
Galaxy S4 GT-i9505
Provider: Optus (Australia)
Baseband:I9505XXUEMK9
I'm looking for the stock S4 recovery and ROM (JellyBean 4.3) and I cannot find them anywhere!
I recently rooted my S4, flashed CWM onto it and installed the S4 Google Edition Anrdroid 4.4.2 ROM.
I don't care if the method wipes all data, wipes root access etc, I just want stock everything so I can send my phone away under warranty.
So please, if you know a method, the location of the stock files or anything please chuck it my way.
Also if you know of any good S4 compatible 4.4.2 KitKat ROMs (Or really, really, good 4.3 ROMS) I wouldnt mind them either
Much, much, much appreciated
Sorry if this was the wrong section to post this in, but I need help and I have no idea where else this would go.

Thank you! That link helps heaps for the ROMs but I'm still looking for a stock recovery for my S4. [Edit: Does that unroot/ flash to stock firmware link include the stock recovery?]

Flashing the stock rom with Odin will unroot and install the stock recovery as well, it's included, so no need to find recovery and flash it separately.

Try this(although I'm unsure if it will flash correctly because it's 4.2.2 version) or look for "factory Firmware"

Hey everyone, i know many of you have probably done this a million times but it would be super helpful if someone could just BREAK it down to me. I have a sprint samsung galaxy s4 that is rooted and has cyanogenmod 11 on it, im so tired of cyanogenmod and want my good out touchwiz back, i have searched up and down and left and right to get odin 3.07 and to get my stock rom 4.4.2 file but i cannot find these anywhere or atleast a download link that isnt BROKEN, i just want my phone to go back to normal, i dont really care about the current binary because i am not sending it back to sprint i simply just want cyanogenmod OFF my phone.
if someone would please be kind enough to help me to redirect me to a link where this is already explained i would really really apreciate it so much!!!
Thank you in advance!!

First determine if your phone is 720 or 720T
if it's 720 then you need the full NAE tar file
for 720T you need the full NAF file
Get on download mode and ODIN via PDA the tar and that should do it.(any ODIN 3.xx should do it)
Once you get back to stock do a nand backup of all the (system, modem, efs etc... I know some say its useless but still do it) so this way when you want to go back you can dod it from recovery.
What about this Media fire link worked.
Oh yea, and as mentioned make sure you're on the standard 720 and not the T version - different tar but it too is here.

Hey guys i have used to search engine and can't find a way to go back to stock unrooted on this at&t note 3. Its running 4.3 and was only rooted. Do you guys know a step by step you could guide me to? I just need the phone to be able to get OTA updates. I don't care if its wiped or anything about the knox. I am selling it and i don't want the guy to not be able to get the uodates. Thanks so much!
You could try the option in supersu to unroot and then boot to recovery and factory reset
