If you flash a rom from Sammobile by Odin your phone will be wiped and is the state as new phone

How can i flash it manually and not wiping my data?

You can't,when you flash stock rom all your data are lost. You can copy pictures etc to your pc if not on Sd. However apps are gone

Thanks that sucked

Depending on where you get the NAE tar file you may lose data. The 4.4.2 tar file on Sammobile.com does not wipe data, but I've heard reports that the tar file in the android development section does do a factory reset when it installs so you will lose data. Choose wisely.
And the data is sometimes wiped from your entire internal SD.

[i9500] Play store apps isn't working

I did a nandroid backup after I just rooted my phone. So now I am running a custom rom and I decided to go back to stock android. So I flash the nandriod backup and it rebooted with no problems. But when I unlock the fone it said unfortunately Gapps have stop working and these pop-ups are coming up like every 2 seconds. So I just decided to wipe and factory reset my phone. So I did when it was finish I went through the process of setting up my phone and when I download Instagram the app keep crashing like I would be on it for like 2 mins and a pop-up would come up saying unfortunately Instagram has stop working. It even says it when I tried to post a picture. And when I download whatsapp also and i try to change my profile picture it keeps crashing.
I think it's something with the play store or something. Please help

I flash the new gapps and it didn't work. I think it because I am on stock android the gapps didn't work. But if I was a custom ROM it would have work.
Anymore solutions ?

Okay I have a question, I think I found my firmware but the country is Trinidad and Tobago and I live in the Grand Cayman islands. My carrier is locked to lime, if I flash this firmware would I still be able to connect to lime which is my mobile data carrier?

Make a backup first
I don't know about that carrier so can't say.
Do check http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/

[Q] Stock recovery missing!!!

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.

Hi .
Start all over again. Install your first (native) firmware via Odin . And then everything in order (root , recovery etc.)
