2. If I go to google rom and decide I want to go back to MF9 how do I go about doing this in odin do I use official MF9 software? or what?
The GE rom posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345386
is off of the 4.2.2 GE S4.
If you're looking for a rom based off of 4.3, give the Cyanogen Rom 10.2 nightly a shot, located here. http://get.cm/?device=jfltespr
The thread describing bugs, and all that fun stuff is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405081
To go back to stock, you can either flash the stock M9F rom through custom recovery, or odin everything back to stock using this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471

Use either the post above for pure stock or this
Download Deodexed No Data Wipe Tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
For stock + root + busybox
Assuming you have a custom recovery installed just make a backup in recovery before flashing the new ROM. Then you can revert to your old rim anytime you like.
ok cool thanks everyone for your help new to the S4 things so trying to catch up yea Im running MF9 Rooted at the moment with CWM about to see what this google rom and just trying to make sure I don't brick my phone taking it calm and easy for a bit will get more gutsy soon enough lol

Welp, you can try going back to your old firmware through Odin, but if you can't (I own i337 not m), then you might want to consider taking it to best buy or something. Also, are you sure that the 4.3 was for i337M and not regular i337? *That's probably not it buuuut it's worth looking into, yeah?*

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"

Ok, you must be wondering why the heck anyone would want to downgrade from 4.4.2. Well I had one noob moment and a couple of unfortunate coincidences. I haphazardly flashed a rom for an I9505g onto my phone. Luckly I can still boot up and connect to my wifi. If I turn the airplane mode off then the phone goes haywire. Im sure that isnt fixable.
My difficulty is finding a stock 4.2.2 ROM to flash.
I would just flash the recovery i have, but, it somehow is corrupt and sends my phone into a bootloop so i have to reflash the 4.4.2 again to get anything to work. Really, i think all i need is a link to get me going in the right direction for the files i need. If anyone could hook me up i'd really appreciate it.

But I've Downgraded Many time from kitkat to JB4.3 without any problem
Aaah, I see. You're on stock 4.2.2 and you've flashed 4.4.2 without flashing bootloader?
I thought you were on full stoc 4.4.2 with Knoxed BL.

Can you ODIN back to NAE stock and see if that fixes it? Then try your ROM of choice after going back to complete stock?
