Can I remove TWRP without odin?

I have to swap my phone, one problem is that you cannot connect the phone to a computer.
Can I remove TWRP and restore the original recovery without ODIN? Maybe flash the firmware if there is a zip version using recovery?

I belive toy can use Mobile odin. There may also be a flashable zip.

I swapped my phone, rooted and TWRP installed. Not one phone call. Not one charge. That was on AT&T.
But if you wanna be safe, do what he^^ suggested.

I think I should try that just to be safe. Do I need to flash the entire rom ( Im on amdl) or just the stock recovery?

Just the stock recovery. Best thing to do is to search the forums for triangle away, flash your stock recovery after running triangle away. Follow the prompts for that, btw. Then use SuperSU's built in unroot.

Thanks! Im searching for the stock recovery now....I have the amdl firmware but not the recovery.
Any idea where I can grab it?

Is the firmware a zip or an odin file?

I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5

mobile odin is saying that the device isnt compatible? It asks for a dump, I did that and it said successful.
I restarted the phone, and it still says the same thing?
Looks like mobile odin is not supported for the AT&T Model.

You could extract the recovery.img from the tar and then create a zip file from that. I think it would work, but I've never tried it.

I guess the only thing I can do now is either find an AMDL firmware or stock recovery that I can use a zip file to flash it using TWRP.....
Has anyone seen this anywhere?

Sammobile.com has the stock firmware. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in odin.

You should be ok, I don't think they really check anything. You might do more harm right now than its worth. I've sent two devices into them. Got a refurb back. Your biggest worry is it'll probably be mf3 firmware.

Did you send them rooted with TWRP still there?
I alradyhave resigned myself to getting stuck with the MF3 firmware. Hopefully that gets worked out soon!

[ODIN] mk1 stock firmware

here's the latest stock firmware i found on sam mobile. I uploaded a copy to my dropbox.
MK1 for us wifi p600
use odin to flash
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/za3p2rfrhobzvp0/9umpI6NL3a (CF Auto root tar file)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1gnsk1ocrlo1j12/RN5GuoiR10 (MK1 firmware tar file)

Thanks for this.

I have to ask, but why the hell does your copy show as 2.1 gigs in the drop box link you posted but when I went to sammobile I found their copy to be 1510 gigs . Something ain't right. Recommend NOBODY download EITHER files until a good explain at'on for this difference is presented, Not trying to call the OP's rep into question, but this needs to be addressed right away.

Mine is extracted

6K fair Enough just had to ask , as something didn't seem right . Why post the extracted file though?

Is this the 3rd OTA update, or are we expecting a 4th one now and you are just posting it early?

I don't know which update it is exactly. When everyone was carrying on about new update I went searching. I had rooted via cf auto root and yes it trips knox. I'm not concerned about tripping it. I wasn't able to get the download, must have been doing steps wrong. I had factory reset after Odin back to stock and wouldn't even check. someone else posted a mention of mk1 so I went and downloaded.
on why I put extracted version, I just didn't know any better. sorry...flashing and all the varies things I've become to understand somewhat I'm still not 100% proficient.
I believe most are on mj4, which was what I had previously.
hope it helps whomever.

just look in the dev section for this tablet.... i think that people need to be asking chainfire if they can re-host/mirror his file... there's more than enough bandwidth to go around to download a 10mb file for the auto-root
and to the OP.... i didn't mean to come across as a ****, i just found it very odd that the file was much, much bigger than the original one. fair enough that it was unpacked.... just found it odd, and i wanted to throw out a warning, just in case there was something more going on
but yes, once unzipped, you're correct, it's about as big as the dropbox said it was.... so fair enough
for future reference though, if you're going to post a link to a big assed file like this, keep it packed up, if not for the people downloading it's sake, but also for the fact that it uses less of the bandwidth and thus more people will get a copy before the limit kicks in, or before someone starts getting charged or whatever happens.... just saying, much more convienient to have the file as small as possible, and also helpful and nice and reassuring to have the MD5 check out with the original and/or the file just look like the original

Sounds good. I usually don't post links but will take the advice.
For cf auto root just download from chains post. I'm not trying to step on any toes.
I think the best links I posted are for the sam mobile that as time goes on people can update per themselves.

Just to be sure, if you flash this through odin, your entire device will be reset right?

I did not experience a data wipe at all when purely flashing. to avoid possible issues, you could factory/reset prior to updating. Just my own opinion. If you flash it via odin, it will remove root, but your knox will still be tripped most likely.
I only did a factory reset because I thought If I unrooted and went back to.mj4 I'd get the update but I was not so lucky as it still said modified on checking for update. This is what lead the look for mk1 software.
I flashed via ODIN, mk1 then ODIN flashed cf auto root then ODIN flashed TWRP then ran titanium back up and I was good to go.

Also an FYI, don't flash Dark horse inverted apps yet. I failed to pay attention to Deodexed only part. which caused me to re Odin the 3 steps again....don't be that 1, I already was for you...

Thanks for the heads up.
My note is still completely stock. I'm interested in flashing this because we haven't had the update yet here in the Netherlands and I would really like to experience the improvements in lag.
Perhaps I will have some more patience or maybe I will flash this

Do you have a PC? The VZW installation software has a repair function as well and will completely wipe and reinstall latest stock version. Took me about 20 mins or so to do when I botched a root attempt. Hope this helps

Does not work with custom roms/safestrap installed.
Nobody else has help? I am surprised a community as large as this one has no help.

You will need to remove SS completely and it should work after that. Strange it didn't work for you. Have you tried the emergency recovery in kies3?

Need Help to restore build.prop on i337 NC1 firmware

Well, this is my problem: Last day I was trying to delete carrier name from top left notifications bar, so I found a thread that shows how to do it, specifically modifying 3 lines of build.prop system file. After doing this my phone won't boot up anymore. It shows Samsung Galaxy S4 logo an then stays black.
My phone has stock firmware i337UCUFNC1, and rooted with towelroot.
Actually I am only able to get to stock recovery and download mode.
I've tried some options but getting no results since bootloader its locked I guess.
I made a backup of the original build.prop, but unfortunately I had no external sdcard at that moment, so the backup its on internal memory.
Any ideas where to get this solutions? Adb? Flashing bootloader?

There's always Odin. You're not going to be able to use adb with the stock recovery.

Thanks for your answer.
Well, I bet I did'nt use the proper stock firmware via odin, it fails at begining. I've tried with MDB and NB1 stock but get fail after NAND writes start (Auth). Until now I Can't find NC1 stock to flash it.

Any other suggestion to bring my phone back?

[Q] 4.3 MJ6 brick problem.

Okay so here is my problem:
-Bought AT&T phone off ebay Hong Kong. Using phone in Australia.
-SGH-I337
-4.3 MJ6
-Rooted it.
-Installed Safestrap.
-Backed up with Safestrap.
-Flashed GOLDENEYE v49.1
-*BRICKED*
-Safestrap recovery is GONE
-Stock recovery and download modes BOTH still work. When booted, the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo/pulsating blue LED.
I've spent around 5 hours reading everything I can, but can't seem to find much regarding 4.3 MJ6.
Do I need to flash a 100% stock 4.3 MJ6 ROM to get up and running again? Does anybody know where I can find that ROM?
I've been using custom ROMs on HTCs for a couple of years, this is my first Samsung.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have an i337m? If you do you don't need safestrap. Go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware and flash that in Odin. It should get you up an running again.
