[q] help! How do i go back to my stock kernel

I installed a kernel but there's a wifi bug and i don't know how to fix it. I made a backup before, but when i restore it, it doesn't go BACK!
i have i337M (4.4.2)
Someone please help me ..

I haven't personally tried this on the s4 but it should work. Grab the 4.4.2 factory tar file, rename it without the.md5, and extract it. Inside you should find a boot.img. Put that on your device and flash it with flashify from the play store.

Thanks! I will try it when I finish downloading the File from SamMobile.
Just to Clarify:
I need to remove the .md5 from the name? So just .tar? and then extract and put the boot.img on my sd and install flashify and flash from there? And my kernel will be back to stock?
If I wanted to unroot, would i just flash the .tar file through Odin? That would remove TWRP, root and custom kernel, am i correct?
Thanks.

Failed at flashin custom ROM!

I followed the steps in INDEX topic to flash a 4.4.2 GoldenEye rom to my 4.3 i337 mk2 . After GE installed it asked for reboot and I accepted it, and it got stuck in samsung screen. so i rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and wiped data which prolly even screwed me deeper!
Now I am trying to flash a stock rom through Odin(EDIT: OMG YES IT WORKED.)
Now im going back to below:
Last time at step 6 it asked to reboot after i installed GE and i did. Is it why i failed?

While on MK2 and installing KitKat ROM, it is a MUST that you need to put the phone in download mode and flash the MLD ap/BL/cp files before the phone can reboot after the ROM is flashed.

So I go directly into DL mode after install...Thats why i failed perhaps.. I also put it on stock rom, that also could be it.
thank you.

Stock Recovery

Can anyone give me the stock recovery for N900 4.4.2 please? My phone is rooted but used fake system stauts in wanam xpose. I can download OTA upgrade but failed to install the update. So i guess it must be bcoz of CWM. Thank you so much in advance.

I have the same problem before. And I have flash the stock firmware via Odin. No data will be lost.
If you are going to flash the stock recovery, you'd better flash the stock firmware
You can also download the stock firmware and extract the stock recovery yourself.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to find and download the stock firmware for your device.

Oh.really. I didnt realize it at all. Current firmware is the one that I downloaded and flashed it from odin. Can u guide me how to extract and flash it bcoz I am afraid I will have bootloop or brick.?
Yes I know your application and this is a must have for SAMSUNG.? I wait for you before i proceed anything.

The firmware file is a TAR archive and you can extract it with WinRAR.
You will get recovery.img file and it can be flash via Odin.
But it's easier if you flash full stock firmware. No data will be lost.

Do i need to repack recovery.img into tar.md5? I can add recovery.img into zip archive and then rename into tar.md5? is it a right method? I have modified something in system folder which i have to flash through CWM. So after i flash stock firmware, im not going to lose my data but my modification will be lost.
I hope u understand my problem.

[Q] Installing stock recovery

Hi i have installed TWRP on my phone but I can't use OTA. I want to ask - if i download lollipop rom from samsung, extract stock recovery.img from ROM archive - will it work flashed by flashify?

Since you need to download a ROM anyway to get the stock recovery image, you might as well get the latest ROM for your device and not bother with the OTA. Simply download the complete and latest ROM package for your device from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and flash it through Odin. Afterwards, root if desired and replace the stock recovery with TWRP.

E: Can't open tmp/update-script.log

You need to first go to kitkat or jb and you need to extract fastboot, recovery and boot image inside before sideloading.

download .87 flashable stock firmware on https://yadi.sk/d/skkFK2VIiWhQi and flash in TWRP after that reboot to fastboot and flash stock recovery in .87 zip file then relock your bootloader
