Please xda brethren, I need some help. My niece purchased a sgs4, which was rooted for like $150. She was in need of a phone. Anyway, the damn thing has been permanently frozen after a week of use. So i figured maybe flashing it back to stock rom. I found the links to download the stock rom, but its taking forever to get it down. I've been at this since 9:30 THIS MORNING and it hasn't downloaded fully yet. the download keeps stopping. I have to be back at work in 6 1/2 hours and i haven't even slept yet. Can someone please out of the kindness of your heart provide me with the latest stock rom for the sgs4. I'm dying over here for sleep. :crying::crying::crying::crying:

You cannot flash files with kies. You only flash latest. Which you use emergency recovery and enter your imei

No need to look for an old file like this. He's the latest stock to run through Odin, it should get get all fixed up and unrooted.

Do you guys know the size of the update?
Nothing here in the UK (again).
There was no mention of the size of the update.
It is 3.22mb
I'm in the US, mine updated, took about 20mins, lots of updates, faster, better fonts, well worth it
how do you get those updates?
did you enabled the update function under settings?
It has been almost two hours and I can not get my tab to turn on. It was fully charged and unplugged when I hit update.

Then it is nothing new. That update comes out about a week ago.

If you are just getting a black screen after trying to apply the update you can clear this up (if rooted with CWR). If that applies to you boot in to CWR, wipe cache, wips Dalvik, reboot. It will be as if the update was never downloaded. Several folks reported this and this was a clear resolution - short of restoring a backup.
If you did not install CWR, are not rooted, or have no idea what I am saying above I can not be of any help at this time. Sorry.
Those of you that installed the update, were you rooted? If so, did you keep root?
Im rooted running a TW rom, got this update and rebooted, nothing happened, hung at black screen. Was very pissed. Whiped cache/davlik as instructed in this thread and was able to boot back into my tab =D
I recieved the updated (in DFW)
I am not rooted.
size 3.22mb
and Yes things seem to run a lot faster. (Example.... Field Runners loads twice as fast for me now!!!)
Anyone else that is Rooted install the update and all work out well?
Darn it, the progress bar is getting stuck at 28%. It is always something...
unrooted, btw.
Thanks guys. Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm back and running thanks to you.

Installing on rooted device
My Tab 10.1 is rooted and running a custom kernel but not a custom ROM. I tried to do an OTA update but it didn't work (same as others). Is there an issue updating firmware on a rooted device? Will updating "unroot" my device?
Thanks
Since Sprint decided to pull the plug on WiMAX, I had to get rid of my trusty Evo 4G for a S4. Rooted with Odin, but followed an ancient guide on youtube to get tether unlocked without reading the comments. Now I'm stuck at a yellow "Sprint Spark" screen. Tried a hard reset (a few times), no change.
I think I need to flash a stock rom, but I have no clue which one I should use (and am fearing breaking more stuff). At this point, I just want to get the phone usable .. probably as stock as possible for now. The phone is brand new, assuming 4.4.2? Not sure if there's a way to check exactly what it was running. Recovery says KOT49H.L720VPUFNAE
Any advice, is much appreciated

Maybe, but 250 pages is a lot to sort through (no offense). Does a stock rom (no root) even exist?

Do you have access to a PC? If so, do a factory data reset and wipe of the internal SD and Odin a stock ROM (preferably the software version you are on or newer). After that all your information is gone and it's completely stock.

Use the OD2 one in Android Development. It won't let you use an older firmware than you already have.
Hello!
I have AT&T (i337ucuamdl) Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.2.2 installed. I have rooted the phone years ago and have not touched since. How do I update the phone to the latest 5.XX version? Is it possible to preserve the root? I saw the warning about MDL version that it is not supported. Anyone?
Thank you!
Look here.
Will I be able to use OTA updates with this ROM?
Thank you!

If you really still have the mdl bootloader, then you don't want to do an ota update, which will replace the exploitable mdl bootloader with a locked one.
If you have already done ota updates on the phone in the past, then you are already on a locked bootloader, and the above link would be irrelevant.
How did you get 4.2.2 onto the phone without replacing the UCUAMDL bootloader?

This is what I have now. Interesting that some applications are saying the phone is not rooted. I have done it 2 years ago. I cannot recall how I did it.
Thank you!
The application tells me I am not rooted.
I guess it is better to repeat the root procedure now.

This will root and install TWRP on MDL.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297900
This will give you stock OC3 lollipop and keep your MDL bootloader.

I have rooted the phone successfully yesterday. I got a problem during my backup with FlashFire. Apparently something happened during backup and my microSD card got locked. What ever I do now I cannot format it or write anything on it. Anyone experienced it?
Thank you!
Yeah. I had 2 go bad on me out of the blue. Thankfully, they were SanDisk, which has a lifetime guarantee.
Snapping along on stock rooted 0C4 I337, wishing for some good up to date lollipop ROM's to throw into flashfire
Installed OC3. Do you know if the OC4 is available? It fixes the security bug that I would like to use.
Thank you!
Hey all,
I am running one of JKRuze's ROMS and have been for over a year. It's basically a slightly modified, non-rooted version of Android 7.0. My spotify has quit working, and one of the final questions their support team asked me is if I am running a modified OS on my phone. ****. So, I need to go back to stock. I tried following a method on here, but it failed to Odin. Anyone know if there is a thread around here with best method to get back to stock?
ODIN is the only method i know,never failed for me. try downloading files again( personally using U firmware)
Where can I get the latest U firmware? I have not been able to find a reliable link.

Yeah, I went to that link from another post last night, and for the life of me, could not figure out how to download. I hate when sites do that. Hide the download link in some obscure location with a bunch of other buttons with the word download in big letters that just lead you to some other bogus garbage...

Thanks.. That link says it is for SM-G935U. I've got the SM-G935V, will it still work?
Please help. I thought I had installed stock, but now my phone will not connect to cellular data. Data link seems fine.
Update... Never mind, I believe I have it figured out. I did not add the BL, CP, and CSC slots via odin.
