reflash your rom. depending on your rom, the stock kernel might not work(like cm10). reflashing your rom will install whatever kernel came with it.

im a on custom rom right now and i have nandriod back up of stock touch wiz. if there is an ota update can i just go back to the back up i made and just do the update
Won't work if you have a custom recovery. You'd have to wait for a modified update than you can flash.

Since you are already running a custom rom you can just flash an MDL based rom. However, you will not have the MDL modem/firmware. If you want this either get your phone back to factory stock via Odin or if you can restore a nandroid and stock recovery (whatever it takes to flash the OTA update) then you can get to the MDL stock rom with MDL modem/firmware. From what I have read most have to Odin back to stock but a few have said with stock recovery and no app changes the OTA flashed successfully. Personally I would just use Odin, take the update, root/custom recovery, and be done with it. Your choice.
**EDIT....can now flash the modems separately without having to use the OTA procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919
I am kind of in the same boat. I have stock rom but I rooted it and installed custom recovery. I can't seem to find any of the flashable modded OTA updates. Can some one point me to them?

Hi again,
I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get my hands on the stock recovery file for the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505? I need it soon, unless flashing the stock firmware would reset the recovery to stock recovery.
I'm currently using CWM recovery.

Hi,
Look HERE
Look for the one that matches your current firmware.
OK well thanks for the link but my phone is ZHUAME1. Does that matter or can I use any stock recovery file?

Sorry no that's just firmware. I need the stock recovery file so I replace CWM with the original stock recovery.

Hi,
I know.
I was just suggesting that you ask in that thread if the firmware will replace your custom recovery.

I rooted my phone and install a custome rom but today I tried to flash back my original rom I backup and tried to update my phone through kies and it says my firmware can't update due to a change in my firmware. My phone is still rooted and I still have a custome recovery install. Is that causing the problem? Sorry I'm new to all this. Thanks.

That's exactly the issue. If your device status is listed as modified, then Kies will not work. You basically forfeit your option to update through that program. I think unrooting would help, or just wait and flash the new 4.3 ROM that will be available soon.
This should have been posted in q&a. It would be helpful to know what specific phone you have. You say you've flashed back to the stock Rom but you still have a custom recovery? How did you flash back to stock?

If you want to restore back to stock and remove the custom recovery you should use Odin. That should let you get the ota firmware upgrade.
So I have to use Odin to put back my original firmware? Also I'm not to sure how to put back Odin to stock recovery.

When you flash the stock firmware with odin it'll put the stock recovery back on at the time. You don't have to do anything special.

You don't flash the backup with odin. Get the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your specific device and carrier.
So I would download Odin to my pc than download and install the original firmware with odin? Do you have a step by step on flashing with odin? Thanks!

The attached guide is not for the i337 but the process is the same. Just don't use any linked files, except for Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

The methods you mentioned above seem fine, but isnt restoring my nand backup(backed up on a stock rom) and flashing a stock rec, then unrooting is the simplest way?

No, using the TOT method is the simplest and quickest way. Takes all of about 5 minutes.

are you sure that is the best method for the international model?
i have the 16GB model, and the download provided in the TOT section of the guide is for the french one.
should i wait for the 16gb kdz file from my country(israel)or flash the french one(i need hebrew stock)?

If you want you can try the "Method 2" version in that thread. I've used that as well and it was very painless.

I might try it in a few days when the official 4.4.2 update gets released here.
Just so i would know, will restoring my backup(it is stock 4.2.2, i'm currently on cm11 4.4.2), flashing a stock rec and unrooting work?and if it will, will it bring back OTA?

I honestly don't know, I don't even know if there's a file you can flash that restores it to stock recovery. Using the TOT or Method 2 is essentially a file that restores it to stock ROM and stock recovery, so that's the only way I would know. But I supposed you're more than welcome to try it and see if that works.

There is this website named storagecow

And it has many firmwares available for download. As long as i download it in kitkat version, is it ok that i download the open europe version?
edit:in the open europe D802, the file's name doesn't state if it is 16 or 32GB, or even kitkat.
is it safe to use it with method 2?

Just make sure you're using the correct kdz for your device, do not flash another device's kdz file. So only download the version that's your phone.
