Stock NAE - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I wanna return to pure stock NAE and was wondering if there was just a zip file I can flash to go back to stock ROM and Recovery so I don't have to Odin the full tar file with a computer. Any help?

Not really possible ATM. No tar file available. So you are in a way stuck with 4.3 rooted.

Not really unless cnexus makes a stock odexed rom then we can just flash that, flash stock kernel and stock recovery and unroot. Then do a factory wipe. But we dont have those files so if you modded your phone. You stuck until we can get a working tar or the files needed.

I think I saw in the general section that there is a tar file for Odin now. You may want to check there

Yes, the full MJA tar file is available on sammobile.com, download it and flash with odin.

Unroot return to stock mja clarification

Had installed mja ota awhile back and installed cm10.2 installer from the android market. now trying to go back to stock would flashing the tar file on Odin oc PC version be the safest bet to go?

A .tar or a custom tw ROM?

I don't know. Would a tar (Odin file) restore my phone completely to stock? No root?

Yes, if that's what you want, that's the way to go. I don't believe there is an MK2 .tar, but there is a MJA .tar that you can use. Then let the phone download the MK2 update on it's own. If you are on either MJA or MK2, you have the KNOX bootloader and can't go back to any build prior to MJA.
Ok. Thank you! I have a .tar file I didn't know it restored it though I just thought it got rid of the root

Make sure you are using the correct tar file. If you were already on 4.3 then you need to use either the MJA or MK2 tar to restore your phone. You can't restore older versions to your phone if you are already on MJA or MK2.

Stock mk2

Is there a file that I can flash in recovery to go back to complete stock mk2?

By 'complete' I think he means unrooted stock MK2.

if one were to flash this stock MK2 over an already installed MK2 for a completely stock finish, would it trip KNOX? no because it's using stock recovery?
No, it will not trip knox.

[Q] Stock recovery missing!!!

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.
