I have that jump program and feel like getting the GS5. I got this GS4 about 6 or so months ago and if I remember correctly (which I don't) I used odin to root it.. Had it rooted for a couple months then decided to put a rom on which was Wicked 5.0 or something. About 2 months ago I put wicked 9.1 on.
I'm pretty sure I saved a recovery before even putting the first wicked rom on, but WTF is up with the way it saves the files, maybe someone can help with this image, but what is the oldest date of these recoveries ?

If I was to go back to just the stock recovery but still rooted, would a t-mobile rep know this? and if they did would it be a problem?
If I did get back to the stock recovery, could I unroot it? I remember buying a triangle app or something ,that reset the flash counter on this phone? does that ring any bells? lol
Thanks
Look at the system information on/in the phone. What does it say?
You can simply just Odin the NAE .tar if you're going to be bringing it back to Sprint. That'll wipe everything to stock.
DAMN IT!!!!!! Wrong thread! my bad
nvm, i found what i needed, lol

I'm sorry if this is a basic question, but I've been searching the forum for a couple of hours and I just can't seem to figure this out.
The software company I work for had been keeping a MyTouch 3G with Android 2.2 around because it's the minimum spec we target for our Android apps. That phone broke, so we ordered a new one from Amazon to replace it but it was running Android 1.6 when we got it.
Because this is a software testing target, I don't want it to be rooted or running a custom rom or anything like that. I just want it to be updated to the latest stock 2.2 rom from T-Mobile.
I downloaded a few update.zip files from a few different threads on the forum, but I can't figure out how to flash them. When I try to boot into recovery by holding Home and Power, it takes me to a static picture of a warning triangle next to an image of the phone. I can't seem to do anything from here to get to the menu where I can apply the update.zip.
Am I missing a step? Can anyone put me on the right track? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Boot to recovery again by holding Home+Power. When you're at the screen you posted here (picture), stop pushing Home+Power and press them once again.
i took my friend`s phone to technical service and they said phone`s mainborad is dead. is that so?
here is the picture of the download mode.there is no product name.

The fact that phone boots in download mode is evidence that bootloader is ok. It is not givin any info about the rest of the system condition.
searched a bit mor. pit file gave an installation error. it`s said emmc is damaged. thanks anyway.
Flashing official firmware via Odin doesn't work?
Do you have custom recovery? I think restoring .efs might help restore product name, I might be wrong though.

when i tried to flash a stock rom it it gave an error about pit. so tried several pit files but none of them worked.
my friend said his boss gave him an another s4 so so can`t be bothered much tbh. thanks.
I haven't used my S4 in a while since i got my S6 Edge i was wondering is there a root for the S4 5.0 I've been looking everywhere and no luck yet
I'm seconding this question.
In addition I'm on 4.3 and my system can't even manually pick up on the update. What's up with that?
Third that...
I just got my S4 L720 replacement, came pre-loaded with 5.01 and I can't find a way to root it, cant do anything with it really...
Haaaaallp!
Just use Odin to flash TWRP, then in TWRP flash Chainfire's SuperSU.
It's the same as KitKat, what mattzeller said or Odin CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire

Ok I'm not an expert at all and I don't want to follow the wrong guide and mess everything up. I googled some of the terms and I don't feel confident enough in what I found.
How exactly do I get to KitKat (be it the stock rom or the one really close to it) and root it?

you might have the new version, the L720T. root method could be different?
hello guys! i've been out of the rooting game for a while so i'm kind of lost. My mom has this phone, and we just moved. i want to get the wifi tethering mod on her phone so she can use her ipad and stuff. she's not really good with tech so i want a ROM that looks like 5.0.1 so she wont get confused with a new UI.

Hello,
I updated to Bliss Rom a while ago, didn't liked it and tried to return to Stock 5.1.1, but didn't worked. Well, I decided to go for the CM13 rom which where much better. However I saw the Thread here where someone explains how to get back to Stock from CM13 and I tried it, Step by Step everything went successful, except that nothing works now...
The EFS Clear part went fine, I saw some having trouble with it, so that can't be my problem, hopefully.
I use to recover these firmware/bootloader: COJ5 and tried it with COH4, not working.
I made a backup of my CM13, but if I restore it, it fails...fking hopeless :/
I hope someone can help me.
Here Screenshot of my Odin I started after clearing my EFS with EFS Pro.:

Do an efs format through twrp as i explained in the guide threads. After flashing the stock rom make sure to boot in stock recovery and factory reset.
