Hard Bricked
whoops sorry. wrong thread
If your phone is still in warranty then you can hard brick it and give it to the service center, after changing the motherboard they'll ask you whether you want kitkat or jellybean
You dont actually have to brick it though. . Was jk but when my grand 2 was bricked, people at service center asked me what os I want and I got my jellybean

download pre-rooted stock rom from djembey here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
install triangle away, reset counter. then you'll have official stock rom with basic root access, flash count 0 and status official.
best choice i guess :fingers-crossed:

Hey, did you send it back or not? I rooted mine to check the flash counter and triggered knox security. The are now refusing to honour their warranty despite the actual fault being a physical fault with the screen (it is peeling away from the phone body).
I will keep pushing them until they fix it as the fault is totally unrelated to the phone software and they are breaking the law by refusing to fix it however I will be selling the phone and boycotting them until they drastically improve their customer service
Read this, then tell them

Hi, I just bought the S4 off ebay and ive gone to check for updates because I heard kickkat is out and apparently the phone is modified and im blocked on updates? Is there a fix for this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
you bought a modded phone, maybe he installed a custom rom or kernel, or maybe he just rooted
i think there is a method to revert it search around these forums, you will get the answer i assure you

Your phones software has been modified (it says custom) thus the Samsung servers will reject your device.
It may be that the phone has/was rooted and/or the ROM is heavily customized
You can restore your phone to factory conditions if you search the forums for information regarding this.
Be advised to not flash anything that will bring your phone to factory stock android 4.3 or you will or may activate KNOX which will permanently aggravate you.
Plead search the forums for more details.

My S4 is currently running MF3, i rooted while in MF3 so it was that soft root stuff without the bootloader. i figured it was time for an update to 4.3 so when i went to Unroot the phone it literally just sat at the Samsung Custom Screen. I tried to access the TWRP and restore that way, Nothing happend, i took it to best buy and tried to reflash it that way, their computer couldn't see my phone.
So my last option would be to connect it into Odin correct? Would this work or am i wasting my time?
Try Odin. There is a thread with the correct files.
Also, please do not talk about smashing or purposely damaging your phone for warranty. That is warranty fraud and is not allowed on XDA.

Lol True , sorry bout that. I'll give odin a try, i have the thread...just hoping this really works
It should work. Make sure you have your drivers and your device in DL mode when you connect it to your PC. Also use a back USB port.

go to sammobile.com for firmwares,they have every fw released for any phone..
as for unroot,delete busybox,then go to superuser and select unroot,it will do the rest.
don't forget to use triangle away to reset the counter...
And,if u flash official fw over rooted fw,u will loose root,in other words,u won't have to go thru unroot process if u flash official fw.
