If you are on 4.4.2 rom , you have NO costum recovery, and the only way to get back too 4.2.2 is reflash STOCK rom KDZ files in Flash Tool ... See :::: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

hi all this is my fist post for the s4 and i think someone will flame a bit for my noob level
im not completely noob in first case ,i had an hd2 for 3 year and changed all OS and Android roms like a paranoid for better performance and so on
i have by 2 months this fantastic phone s4 italian version i9505 not branded so i think its the same of all of u
now i tested it for long time in stock mode its come the time to try everything i can but i have lots of doubds watching all guides i found
first question...is there a step by step guide for flash a new rom? i found someone to change kernel with odin but i still dont understand how to install clockwork to the phone to install a rom
second question..as i come from hd2 it had to be unlocked from bootloader before u can install maglr or other stuff but i didnt see anything about this on the s4,i suppose its because its not needed but ask before brick its always a good way to proceed
i read about most of i found in noob sticked post but or i missed something or i really need to read again everything,if someone can link me a guide it will be very appreciated cos sometime i confuse things to do and in wich order
thx for everyone will give me any hint and sorry for my english hehe
first q
some roms have diffrent but for most this works
1,backup
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.install zip from sd card
4 chose zip from sd crd
5./0
6 chose rom and wait
7 reboot
nope in i9500 and i9505 im not 100% sure just 99% u can ask someone else
btw didnt understand well and sorry for my english my hands are oily can't type well

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Firstly , this thread doesn't belong here. Its in the wrong sub section of the forum.
Secondly, flash back a lollipop modem and you will get back your imei. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56103578&postcount=3
This issue has already been brought up a million times, so next time atleast spend some time researching and reading through the forum or at least use google. Thanks.

I think for starters , you should stick to kitkat. Now to get back your imei, flash this file via odin : https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...odems And Bootloaders/I9500-XXUHOD4-MODEM.tar (since you're on stock, i assume you no longer have custom recovery)
Resolve this issue first.

no one would do that because it would also restore the personal data of the user
you can simply flash somboons stock rom (you can find it on xda with simple search)
also - you didn't specify which android stock rom version you want, lollipop or kitkat or jellybean? (somboons rom is lollipop)
I want the stock rom with android 4.4.2,because i want to sell the phone and the CyanogenMod 12.1 is not very good...
If somebody want to help me with backup,create a backup from his current rom with data,make a factory reset,create a backup from his factory reseted phone and upload/send me the backup after restoring the old backup.I think this method will work,if the factory reset not wipe the internal/external memory/otg(where you created the backups).
