How to go from a custom rom back to stock without a backup?

So, my stock nandroid backup has failed me. I am on Slimbean right now and I like it, but I would like to flash back to stock until all the kinks are worked out. How can I get back to stock touchwiz? I'm not exactly sure what a deodexed ROM is, but it is my understanding that Wallet does not work on one so I would like to be on a ROM that allows wallet.

You could either use Odin to flash the stock rom and be back at square 1, unrooted. Or you could flash crawrj's odexed rooted rom, and Google wallet works on that. Just read up on disabling SEAndroid so you don't get the nag.

That is just what I was reading now. I'm probably going to flash that. I do understand it doesn't come with a kernal, so if I'm on Slimbean can I just wipe and flash the odexed rom over that kernal? If not, how do I get the stock kernal back to flash over?

Good point. Flash Shabbys custom kernel, it's linked in that same thread (crawjr's). So wipe, flash odexed rooted rom, flash kernel. You will need to freeze that SEAndroid app though, don't forget about that.

Alright, so I can flash both at the same time? Also, how do I freeze the app? Just disable it in the settings?

I used titanium backup to freeze it. You need the pro version to do that though
EDIT: Someone just informed me that the app is in the system/app directory, and is called KNOXAgent.apk. So I supposed you could try deleting/renaming that to disable it without using Titanium backup.

And yes, flash the rom and then kernel in the same recovery session. You currently have an aosp kernel, so I'd doubt it boots if you tried to boot before flashing the kernel.

how do i deodex my rom?

i want to deodex my rom on s4 4g model, how can i do this is there a tool to do this? the galaxy s4 toolkit only allows you to reodex but not deodex
can anyone provide me with a way of doing this? i have the latest official firmware and it is rooted

Just flash a deodexed rom. It's easier. There are roms that don't wipe.

As mentioned above. Easiest way.

if i flash a deodexed rom over my odexed rom, will this be ok? the firmware is exactly the same though
how will this if at all affect the phone?

It won't affect anything but the odexed apps that will be replaced with deodexed ones. Don't forget to backup your rom via rom manager or from recovery mode.
And btw it all depends on the rom you want to flash. Cuz some roms don't have bloatware or Google apps installed.

I think that changing from a odexed rom to a deodexed rom is recommended to do a full wipe.
Make a backup and wipe, it isn't hard.
Or just go for it, without wiping. If you see any problems, do the wipe (and use the backup I recommend doing anyway).

You can do only a Hybrid NC2 ( MGL frameworks), I already tryed a full deodexed NC2 and it would not show on screen(black screen) it require's NC2 firmware files,in which we cannot get a NC2 recovery or NON-HLOS.bin, it requires root to pull from phone(unless some one can some how manually patch)
that's how I messed up flashing the NB2 firmware (the parts from OTA)

Not working?
I am on a rooted NB4 stock with safestrap. I made a new ROM slot and installed this file in there via safestrap recovery. Upon reboot I only get a black screen (with the blue LED flickering). It seems to me that the /system alone is not enough to run a KK rom like this one. Am I missing something?

you have to install the togetboot files (MBL firmware)
what you need is the MGL firmware to boot

You have to be on KitKat already to flash. And you have to put it in stock slot.
It's based on international nc2 like dynamic.

Any idea why the keyboard crashes

maybe try sec_csc.zip, you might have to use binary.update from your rom install, to use with safestrap recovery .
but I know it fixes FC on the stock (MGL) key board

For AT&T N900A?
Two silly questions, can I use it for AT&T N900A? Is it a KitKat?

If your ATT Note 3 was not rooted prior to the 4.4 OTA, no you cant install this. A bit of searching would help you
If your ATT Note 3 came with 4.4 installed, you're SOL waiting like the rest of us.

So if I want the closest one to original, this is the one right?
Also, I'm on DK extreme 1.3, can I flash this using SS 3.72? T
TIA

On MJE can I use Safestrap and put 4.4 ROMS in the slots?

Basically I'm wondering if I even need to update my stock ROM or can I just put new 4.4 ROMs in the Safestrap slots and everything should be fine?

If you're on MJE you can't run the NC4 roms. But don't take the OTA to do it. Plus your version of safestrap will need to be updated as well.

It's looking like I'm going to flash the NC4 deodexed stock rooted from Beans...
That will then allow to me rom it up in 4.4 land I believe.

You should be fine after that. Be advised that rom slots work but it's advised on most roms to only use the stock rom slot. I thought Hashcode would get those fixed soon but he's getting a new gig and won't be supporting safestrap anymore. Can't be anything but happy for him and be ever so thankful for what he's given us..:good:

XPOSED

WHY I CANT INSTALL XPOSED ON MY NOTE?
i do all the steps but i cant...

Stock Rom or custom?
I just flashed xposed alfa 3 from recovery.
Reboot.
Start xposed app once.
Reboot in recovery.
Flashed framework.
Wipe (just in case).
Reboot. Done.
As I know on stock it won't work for now. Just deodexed roms are supported.

You just asked a similar question a few posts up. The answer is the same. You need a deodexed rom. A stock rom is odexed.

Download the Deodexed Stock version for N910F...either BOD2 or POF2...
Both will work...
Don't forget to Flashing the appropriate Bootloader & Modem via Odin...(like for POF2 use POF2 BL modem.. For BOD2 use BOD2 BL as well modem )
