Locked Up Unroot - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello All,
I was attempting to unroot a Sprint Galaxy S4, everything looked good but the Sprint boot screen just sits there and nothing happens.
I hunted for literally 2 hours to try and find a STOCK Sprint 5.0.1 android ROM with no luck. I found rooted ones and other flavors but not a working link to a real file.
I would appreciate it if someone could send me a good link to this ROM....
Thanks!

Thanks for the link!
This did eventualy work but...
I was able after 3 attempts to flash this but certain things aren't working as expected.
As an example when I go to change the ringtone lets say, instead of having a menu, it opens up a file explorer, this happens in a few other sections.
Any suggestions?
thanks!

Which ROM are you using? I believe this is one of the "bugs" in certain custom ROMs.

Stock ROM

Retrace your steps.
What apps did you install that caused this issue to arise?
Maybe it is pocketCM? or some settings that have to do with it.
Try recalibrating your screen, maybe it is out of place abit. But now that you are in the ppc community you should learn to take caution of your device and learn to troubleshoot as you go.

I think I rooted, how can I tell?

I followed 42turkeys' excellent How To Root and everything seemed to work as it should. I then used the ROM and root updates from andrewb84uk and they went on OK with no apparent problems. Andrewb84uk has since seemed to lose faith in his own ROMs, although other users, like me, are happy with what he's done. My phone seemed to be working fine, I can boot into recovery mode, and I really like some of the new features on 2.1.
So, my question is this; how can I tell that the root worked OK? I never really investigated the OS too much when it was running 1.5, so I'm not sure I'd spot too many of the subtle differences. Also, it is an updated OS, so any change I see may simply be an update rather than the result of root.
Does simply the fact that I can boot in recovery mode confirm that root is successful?
Go to the android market and type in Screenshot in search...
Download the app and see if it works...
If it does your rooted!
It it doesn't your not rooted!
See below...
It works! Many thanks...

Returning to stock rom P7510 - UK/Europe - HELP PLEASE !!

Hello,
I have done lots of searching but cannot find anything definitive, there seems to be lots of different solutions all from different dates so I am getting real confused! Maybe I'm searching the wrong thing :s
I just want to turn my UK WiFi only tab back to stock please, if someone could post a link to the correct rom then that would be AMAZING and much much appreciated!!
I am going to sell it so I want to make sure people get the updates when they come through etc
Many Thanks!!
I haven't rooted my Tab, so you'll need advice from others re flashing this type of file, but you can get the zip file from samfirmware. That's presuming that your Tab would have been just the same UK model as mine that has the standard software updated (3.2 now).
Please don't blame me if something goes wrong, I'm just trying to hook you up with the file.
You'll need to register on the samfirmware site.
Link to the download page http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P7510&r=1#modelsa
This is the screenprint from my Tab.

Here's a screenprint from the samfirmware site, showing what I believe to be the same firmware (PLEASE DO CHECK).

Instead of using OTA, you can manually flash your phone to 4.4.2 using the stock Google rom.

You'll need to unlock the phone's bootloader and reboot before continuing.

this screenshot showing that i'm already using it ... and the emoticons are replaced in it as well
No clue then.
is There Any update ??? i use google keyboard and i want to use the stock emoji that comes with it instead of samsung's "they're terrible"
I honestly thought i was the only one having this issue. I still can't figure it out even after flashing to stock and receiving another update for my SM-N900 there is no change.
I was pretty annoyed with this too (still am). I did find a solution to that but it requires root. Take a look here and try on your own: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618523
