I posted in the noob thread with no response. .I've searched xda and the net via google.
My issue is non logical and selective programs that will not allow down loading to the internal storage. .yes I saw the long list of not downloading to the sd card, but mine is internal memory. The external sd works fine.
I was running bone stock 4.4.2 for a week no issues. I rooted via cf autoroot and lost ability to save files from any program I found ..zedge..swift key language pack..chrome etc.
Last night did a full wipe and factory reset in twrp. Then restored from backup the stock nae found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50668765
And still have same issues except this time Internet Explorer is allowing image downloads to the internal memory?? Other programs are still the same.
Thanks
EDIT
Update - Found TWRP has an issue that causes loss write abiltity to internal storage with some roms after you do a restore...read about in in the Sacs Thread

So, tryed flashing unknowns stock rom and after multiple fix permissions wipes etc AND reading about 20 plus pages of the thread, had more problems than the other stock rom
Seems others had internal download issues, but maybe some kind person here could direct me to a solution as they did not appear to have one?? At this Time, Im sorry I ever rooted this thing...S3 and all my old phones rocked..this thing stinks...thanks samsung.... anyway...is there anyway to return to stock, I know I did it on MK2, just not sure on NAE and just dont wanna screw this thing up more than it is

Stock unrooted NAE? If so, download the tar that is on Dev section by random45. Use Odin to flash it. Back up anything important just in case.

So I found the culpert. TWRP recovery. I went back to unrooted stock and started over.. TWRP seems to work great, but after flashing a couple roms, then restoring my Stock rooted version of 4.4.2.. I lost write to internal again
Last night started reading thru Sacs thread and found it to be an issue for some and not others. I still do not fully know, but in reading, some say TWRP works, just not with all roms

Just throwing this out there.. I've had no problems at all using Philz Recovery. Even with the ROMs that say TWRP is recommended. Its never let me down maybe worth a shot?!

I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 that is rooted on 4.3 MJA with the new Knox loader.
Well when I was going to flash a new rom, I accidentally
flashed is rom ViSiOn-X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2424442)
for the Galaxy S 4 i9505 models by mistake because I didn't read the simple top part
of the forms nor the file name.
Now I removed that rom by reflashing the stock rom provided here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505025)
but my phone now says no signal/searching for signal/emergency calls only,
basically its not finding the network.
So I tired flashing the MJA modem through odin, but no luck.
I've also flashed KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW kernel (no luck as well)
through recovery to the stock if that means anything.
So now I'm out of ideas and could use anyone knowledge on
this problem.
Thank you for your time.
p.s. I've made a backup previously to all this but when
I restore I still get no signal and FC in a lot of google apps.
Odin stock MJA. You might lose your internal memory so back up anything important.

I did make a backup, if you'd fully read my first post
"p.s. I've made a backup previously to all this but when

But its ok, not reading is what lead me here, and
we all make mistakes that we must learn from
sorry I did not read the "p.s."
hope reflashing through odin works
Here's the problem: Every ROM I flash, except for one, Data does NOT work.
I flashed probably 7 AOSP ROMs today, not a single one my data worked..
I flashed TriForce Rom, it's a touchwiz ROM, 3g works perfect!
I decided to odin back to stock, No-Root, and my Data isnt working.. my phone isn't even rooted...
What's going on, any help? I am on sprint. My phone is currently not rooted, and data still doesn't work.

Sounds like you lost your radio one way or another, if baseband/software version is unknown you need to flash the modem, MJA 4.3 if that's what you are on, also if you are using twrp or anything else I would highly recommend using Philz latest recovery, with Philz recovery prior to making a back up you need to change Nandroid settings, specifically making sure the selinux 4.3 box is checked. One more thing you need to do the modem flash while on a TW ROM. I guess now a few questions, what are you on now 4.2.2 or 4.3, did you ota yet? And what recovery are you using :thumbup:

Hey I really appreciate you reaching out to me, I'm apologize, I'm such a noob with all of this and your reply seems very helpful.. but I'm not really familiar with most of that.
I'm unrooted right now, should I root, and then what should be my next step?
Forgive me if there are any posts about this already, but I didn't find any when I searched. I am trying to find out if I can flash a ROM over the stock ROM slot in SafeStrap. The FAQ says it's not recommended because you can't ODIN back to MF3, but I though that was fixed? I only ask because I have a few rather large apps and I've run out of room. Correct me if I'm wrong, but flashing over stock would allow me more space rather than having two ~4gb partitions. If I flash over stock, wouldn't I have ~8gb free? If I'm getting anything confused please correct me.
With that said, what is the best ROM to flash over stock? Currently I am using graviton in ROM slot 1, but I'm getting somewhat tired of it.

I'm using a google play edition 4.2.2. I flashed over stock and it's working fine. I never even made a rom slot. Just put it over stock. You can odin back to mf3 now, that is available now but wasn't at first.
Hi everyone,
I am new to android mods and such and I may very well sound like an idiot. However, even though I know little to nothing of what I am talking about I am in dire need of help. I never did any heavy modifications like custom ROMS but I merely rooted it and installed some tweaks via the xda installer. After toying around with one of the tweaks I seemed to cause an annoying random reboot which would happen when I would sometimes go to unlock my phone. Fine, I could deal with a few reboots here and there. However, my phone recently got stuck on the AT&T loading emblem and stood in my pocket for 2 hours draining a lot of battery and has not been resolved since. I am unable to enter safe mode and I tried a few guides to flash it to stock but I honestly have NO IDEA what I am doing. I am aimlessly following guides here but there is so much variability therefore I feel as if I would have the most success with personalized help.
What do I do? Please use simplified terms along with (relatively) full steps. For example, if I were to flash something I would go into recovery mode with home + vol up button factory reset, and the AT&T logo would still be there, frozen.
Things I have tried but have probably done wrong:
Factory reset
Install custom ROM
All and ANY help is appreciated at this point, I am desperate.
Thank you,
Suprr
Also, my ultimate goal is to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520418 this mod, or at the very least get the stock ROM working so my phone is usable.

I am assuming that you havent yet taken the OTA update to NB1 and your base is MK2. Or, do you have a MDB/MDL bootloader?
If MK2: You have to flash the full stock Mk2 firmware using odin. Download the "Full odin tar files" from the All things ATT thread
if MDB/MDL: Download the stock firmware from sammobile and flash using Odin.

He must have determined you are not on mdl/mdl firmware. Those firmwares would allow you to easily flash custom roms, nb1 is not as easy and limited to touch wiz based roms. Do you know if you had a custom recovery, twrp or cwm?

Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. That should get you past the bootloop
Ps, the first boot is going to take longer than normal. Give it a good 10 minutes

You're on mk2 firmware now. You'll need to root it using safe root and then put safestrap on in order to flash that rom. Look in the general forum for index, all thing mk2 and nb1. There's a lot of info there so read it carefully

I just wanted to upload this and to share it with everyone on Xda just in case any one wanted the full stock TMO Lollipop Rom.
Just be warned this is the FULL TMO Update to LOLLIPOP, this is not modified in any way.. So if you flash this in odin you may not be able to go back to KITKAT.. Just a Heads up.. I know there was issues with LOLLIPOP on the Galaxy S5, but only a few people were having issues..
Here it is :

Not flashable. You have to use odin for this one..
It seems like a couple of threads have posted the STOCK file that anyone can download from the sammobile site. I guess I don't understand why this is needed since anyone can go to that site and download the file if they are just looking for the completely stock version.
Just wondering...

Sometimes it can be slow to download via sammobile /t-mobile. This is an alternative..
Shot I for one am happy there's mirrors. Took 2 hours to download from sammobile when it should of took like 10 minutes or less

When you flash an update in Odin it doesn't erase your internal storage so all your app, pictures, and videos will still be there. If you want to get rid of your files and apps just do a factory reset. It'll be a fresh new update with no downloaded apps, pictures, videos, and any other files you had before the update.

My dirty flash was super slow, and kept getting force kills. Now factory reset and on pure stock.. I've decided to keep life simple and forgoe rooting for now.... just disabling a lot of the bloat apps via the application manager. I don't have the time right now to try a bunch of ROM and tweak things... So far stock lollipop feels smooth and no issues so far.
