I just realized I don't have a voicemail app, I need to go back to touchwiz, how do I go so?
if you just need the voicemail app, why not install it to CM from here?

just came out of surgery and I missed a important call from my doctor, I need something more reliable, I didn't know it didn't come with a voicemal app.
I am not certain I follow that logic but in an attempt to answer your question, check out this thread:
Everything GS4/Android - ROMS/KERNELS/THEMES/GUIDES +MORE
There are plenty of TW ROMS to chose from there.
You are asking two different questions (on in your Topic and the other in the OP). To return to stock you flash a touch wiz ROM or use Odin to flash a stock unrooted tar.

I'm trying to find odin 3.09 but I can't find it.

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.

I'm on MF3 right now, but can I use ODIN to go back to AMDL, then root and install a different recovery? It seems that the answer is yes because I saw a thread to download ODIN with AMDL, and that AMDL will allow you to fully root with a custom recovery. Just wanted to confirm before I start down the path of no return. Just want to get the 4.3 Google Edition going on my SGH-1337.
Thanks all.
EDIT: Did some more snooping and other threads saying you cannot use ODIN to go back to AMDL. Ugh. Guess I'll have to wait.
Your post edit is correct.
You have other options. Check out post #2 of the I337 guide in my signature. It covers root and safestrap for your mf3 firmware. Read up though, and don't jump into it without knowledge.
Cheers

I just want to add that you cannot do ANYTHING (other than rooting) at the moment with the MF3. I will promise you that it will totally jack up your device.
Your best off rooting installing exposed and than install wanam exposed app and that will get you the customization of a stock rom with everything you can possibly ask for.

I have had my phone rooted for a while, and I am about ready to dive into custom ROM's. I was going to flash TWRP on my Sprint S4.
My question is, how would I go back to a Stock Recovery in case it's needed (i.e. warranty issue). I've done a search, but couldn't really come up with my about going back to a stock recovery on Sprint S4.
Thanks!

Hello XDA-
I have an i337 Galaxy S4 with MK2 firmware. I got Safestrap 3.71 for recovery bypassing and I have a really strange issue. It seems no ROMs that I flash a successful. Ever. I've tried AOSP ROMs, Cyanogen, etc. When I just tried installing Cyanogen I went to ROM slot 1, wiped it of everything except the external SD card, went to install, selected the .zip for MY device off of the external SD, flashed it, and when I reboot I get a teal screen with pulsing pink/brown lines on it. The same applies when I do any other ROM, except sometimes I just get a black screen that endlessly loop reboots.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You can't flash aosp or cm roms in safe strap. They have to be touch wiz based.

Ahh, are you serious? Safestrap is the only working recovery bypass on my MK2 firmware, ugh. Hopefully Samsung eventually unlocks the bootloader. Well, I'm off to looking for a TouchWiz based ROM then.
Thanks!

You can, however, install Google Edition ROMs, I believe. Search through the Safestrap thread to make sure, but that should allow you a relatively AOSP-like experience.

EDIT : @mattdm I believed that we can't install any 4.3 GPE yet on MK2 + SSV3.71. The closest AOSP experience are Blackbox v2.2.1 from International S4 I9505 .....:thumbup::thumbup:

Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47718525
It's not Kitkat, but it's still nice and clean.
Also, make sure you're using the correct version of Safestrap. One version 3.65 is for MF3 users, and version 3.71 is for MK2 users.

As @ted77usa said, no GPE ROMs work. All he'll get from that is bootloops and disappointment.

I've seen many people in the past months reporting that they're running GPE ROMs on Safestrap with no problems. Has something changed recently that I don't know about?
EDIT: Ah, I didn't see his edit up there. Sorry for giving false hope! I don't keep up with the Safestrap scene much since I have a Loki'd S4.

Yeah. If you have an MF3 S4 then you can run a 4.2.2 GE ROM, but us on MK2 are out of luck for a full AOSP experience unless an exploit is implemented.
Can we get some links for 4.2.2 GE roms for mf3

Or, you could go search for them? That's why there's a search function. It's not there for looks and it works. We don't need all these threads posting and asking for other members to look for something for you. It's not hard to find them.

Hi All,
Appreciate the guides and community here. Looking for a little help on my ATT S4 KitKat 4.4.2. It's rooted via Towelroot.
I want to run a custom rom that isn't slow. I have Odin, proper Samsung USB drivers.
1) Can CNW be used on my phone to boot to recovery? If not, what are the alternatives and how do I use them (is there a guide you can share)?
2) Do I have NC1 on my phone, what the heck is NC2, NC1-what does this mean, is it relevant?
Thanks all
-Christian
If you have updated your phone to the att 4.4.2 firmware then you should be on NC1 which means you cannot put cwm or any CM rom. The only recovery you can use is safestrap. After that you can only flash rooms the specifically say safestrap compatible and you must flash the att_nc1 module after flashing rom for WiFi to work. Read the safestrap thread under the development section before doing anything.

Those numbers NC1 etc are your build version. Can be found under Settings/About Phone. It will dictate what you can and can't do on your phone--We have no NC2 yet. :good:

Thanks. I have nb1. No luck getting safe strap to take. Install completes but does not recognize status as installed or allow boot to recovery.
I have rooted, supersu, busybox, and no luck with safestrap. Any ideas.
Upon booting I notice an icon that looks like a unlocked lock beneath the samsung logo. Touching it does nothing...

I don't use safestrap. So not sure. Did you wipe all including system. And flash to correct slot. Stock slot I believe. Use correct safestrap. Also need sellinux, spelling? The lock is suppose to be there if rooted. Read the last 20 pages of the hash code safestrap thread plus the op. And same on All Things ATT/MK2 in General. May give some ideas. ☺

Aha! Safestrap running and custom ROM installed. Is there an index comparing all Safestrap/Touchwiz based roms? Runnign SHO right now and it's pretty bland (resolution looks low too).
I'm looking for something like a stock nexus experience with WiFi tethering.

Not sure on index. Best though to try them yourself as they don't always work the same on different phones.

Iam all for custom ROMS. I made one for the Tab3. If all you want is the stock Nexus experience, you could just download the Google Now Launcher which is Google release the AOSP launcher. Then if you want the individual AOSP apps, you can do a search here or a google search, and you will find XDA threads that provide the apps with installation instructions.
