ATT Galaxy S4 i337u 4.4.4 stock root needing make over - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running a rooted stock rom but after I flashed back to NJ4 I LIST MY SD. The device recognizes it but will not mount and my WiFi is locked and disabled. I've reroot and reboot so much it almost does it automatically. I fear factory reset is the next option and of that being the case I'm going with custom and not stock I just don't know enough about the rom out there to decide with one to get. I can't find any specific lyrics for that build can you help me out please and good looking out!

[Q] Lost wi-fi when going to 4.4.4 from rooted 4.42- can't get it back

I rooted to 4.4.2 and it went fine- then I realized I had lost wi-fi.
I have tried to restore and tried using odin and zip files to install a stock rom after I found a similar problem with link on
Sprint forums saying it will fix the ""button won't stay on" but the fix only works if the device is in stock rom.
answer on Sprint forum says baseband version was mk2 needs to be nae.
Return the phone to stock, run the fix for the wi-fi and then re-root.
I have downloaded and ran several roms that say they are stock- I've factory reset, cleared cache, no matter what I do,
I end up with a rooted device in 4.4.2 and no wi-fi. If I could just get the wi-fi back I would take it at this point
This was just a little quick upgrade that turned bad and long
The Sprint forum had a link to get it to nae, but wont work if rooted., so need to put the phone back to stock- run the patch and then can upgrade to kit kat again
TLDR: I cannot get my Sprint s4 back to any version that isn't rooted. I have tried several (lots) of roms that say" stock-unrooted" rom,
Never goes back to stock- stays rooted without wifi-
Ran a rom VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_SPR but when I install I get msge "ifooter is wring signature invalid" - and it fails.
reformatted the sd card, tried different roms and get some message and it stays rooted and no wifi.
TLDR: need to get stock rom so I can get back wi-fi and then root the whole thing. as 4.4.2 Or 4 , if it exists)
Any options and any ideas as to where or what to do?
EDIT: for clarity cause I am not making much sense at this point
Thanks
Heh... a TL;DR for a TL;DR... the internet is becoming one crazy place.

Maybe a dumb question, but why not just unroot first, then?

Still on jellybean...want to update to either kit kat or lollipop

EDIT: phone is currently unlocked/rooted
I've had a G2 since it almost came out, i don't have nearly the time to spend on here as i used to. Thus i've stuck with jellybean because everything works well and i have it set up how i want but it's a bit long in the tooth and the phone needs to have a full clean factory wipe so i figured i'd take the time to update to something newer.
My thought process is the following:
Save everything i want to keep and take off phone (including titanium backups)
Factory reset phone
Allow OTA updates to download and install
Then root
Then install custom roms (if i so choose)
Now fellow XDAers, anything wrong with my logic? I did do some reading and some searching and it seems like lollipop is rootable with a script and i can install customer recoverys with a script as well. I'd like the phone to still be able to unlock and root my device.
Thanks for any help and/or links to tutorials.
I am not sure but I think OTA updates need a unrooted system with stock recovery.
I had a rooted KK and I could not OTA to LP because the download was over 1.5 GBs!
The best solution may be to back everything up, connect the phone to LG Tools, and choose the upgrade recovery method to get the latest ROM for your phone.

[Q] Need serious help to safely restore i337 to stock everything

I received a new phone since I broke my old GS4 (I337). It was on AT&T 4.2.2 and I rooted it using motochopper. It was fine. It automatically updated while I was asleep to 4.4.2. I had rooted my old GS4 on the same update. So I figured I'll just root it again. So I used the method where I flash the NC1 kernel, use towel root, then flash NJ4 back. Now my WiFi will not turn on, but I do have root access. Also, a message saying "Unauthorized actions have been detected" and it tells me to restart to undo these changes. I don't want to do it in fear of bricking my device. I'm really scared now and I desperately need to fix this. I just want to go back to complete stock 4.4.2. I've tried reflashing the NJ4 file twice and WiFi will still not turn on. I've attached pictures of the notice and my device info. Please help. I cannot brick this device. I will answer to any questions as fast as possible. At the moment, I am debating whether or not to flash this because I am unsure if it will be compatible.

Bricking is almost impossible. So stop stressing out. You are in the wrong forum.

Usually you have a wrong modem flashed or something with that problem. Stop stressing out and take your time to find the solution. You will not brick it.

Unlock Samsung Note 3 Vodafone UK

Hello,
I tried several things to unlock my phone, unfortunately, unsuccessfuly.
I use the Sim Unlock code provided by Vodafone : no chance
I rooted the phone and tried Region Lock Away or the Sim Unlock Samsung app, no chance either. I think that the phone is rooted properly but everytime an app request root access, it times out.
I am running out of (good) idea. Any pointer would be very helpful!
Thanks
David
Are you trying all of these thing while running a stock ROM?
I had the same problem with t-mobile in America. It was because I was using a custom rom. I backed up my phone, installed a "stock rooted rom" and was then unable to unlock the sim. Then I used my backup to restore my phone back to the custom rom. Good luck.
I used Odin 3.04 then I install CWM recovery on it.
I tried to unlock the phone before rooting it but it didn't work which is why I try to root it, nothing works... What is a stock rom ? I only want to sim unlock it really, i dont need / want it rooted specifically
What is a stock rom
Stock as in standard firmware as supplied by Samsung .
This all assumes you have a custom rom installed.
You can return your phone to stock (maybe) but it's kind of a pain.
It seems easier to flash a stock rooted rom, which is similar enough to stock to fix your problem.
Google "stock rooted rom vodafone note 3" or maybe just N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005VFGGBOA2 seems to be what you are looking for {actually that appears to be the stock file that you can flash with odin and mostly re-stock your phone.... not sure if it will accomplish what you need}.

Reverting to stock ram after S9 Custom Rom Alexis

So I've been installing custom roms for as long as I can remember but I've come to a part where I am kind of stuck.
I upgraded my phone to the S9 Port rom Alexis and on the latest V5.6.1 I ran into an error that can't seem to be fixed.
/mount/data error in TWRP... I've done all the wipe and repair and stuff in TWRP and yeah it works great no issue and then when I reboot the phone wala… Same issue... No data mount error again and it's seems to be unable to cure so I can't even install any files at all through TWRP as all my memory shows as 0.
I'm wanting to flash back to stock on a GALAXY S8! but obviously going to an S9 port changed my model number to G960F.
How do I go by this? I don't wanna use odin to flash back to a G950 and run into the risk of it completely bricking my phone... Can I actually install an official stock rom of G960 on my device and make it a Stock S9 rom on an S8 or will installing my old model number file make it go back to the stock S8 rom?
Unless someone knows a fix to my issue with TWRP /mount/data error then i'd be greatly appreciated but right now i'm just thinking back to stock and then re-root.
Thanks in advance!
