[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Based on the info given in this and your earlier post I advise you to Odin flash a Samsung stock Rom to solve your issues.

If that boots (I'm fairly sure it will), Odin flash the TWRP recovery again.

The TWRP flash you described here also isn't going OK, it should take not much more than a few seconds to flash and certainly not minutes.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If you lose root anything you have installed to the system partition will be stuck there. That's what root is, it's access to the system partition. (Where the ROM files are stored)

However your recovery will still be installed and the recovery will still have root access. So you could still delete things from within recovery.

Also, just because an app is a root app, doesn't mean it's installed to the system partition. Most apps, unless you specifically installed them as a system app, are installed in the data partition which you'd always have full access to. So teh apps themselves would still be able to be uninstalled.

Now the Superuser or SuperSU apps themselves...THOSE are system apps so those would be stuck in the system partition.

3- what is different between 1 part file rom and 4 part file rom?

4- can anyone tell me the solution of my questions below :
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
If it isn't a Rom issue then it's most likely an app causing this. Try to find the guilty app or do a clean install.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

1. There are a few available on G-Play like Android Firewall and DroidWall

2. It's the Partition Information Table, it tells Odin where where the various partitions in phones memory are located.

3. I don't understand the question

4. This seems partly Rom related. It seems that you want to have some features you liked in one Rom transferred to an other. This usually isn't possible (at least not without serious coding). Better ask this in the Rom's thread.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiacir:
thanks my friend

2- so why in flashing stock roms , usually people said do not add any file in pit?

3- for example this link contain 4 files(modem , code , csc , pit) to flash but sometimes the stock rom only is one file that we put it in odin?what is difference between the?what is csc and code?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
2. Because the last thing you want to do on a working phone is overwrite the PIT file with the wrong file.

3. It's just that besides the full Rom, sometimes the modem, kernel etc are pulled from the Rom so they can be flashed separately. Say when you tried a custom kernel and you want to go back to stock, you can just flash the stock kernel; pulled from the Rom instead of flashing the whole Rom again.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Recovery is an alternant bootable 'mini operating system' that has access to all partitions of the internal storage. It can be used to install or delete things outside of the Android OS. If it was an older Windows PC think of Android as Windows and recovery as the Command Prompt.

All those other apps you mentioned are just apps. If they are installed on the system parition (they won't be unless you specifically move them to the system parition, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about you did not do that) they will not be restricted after you remove root access. They will be like any other app.

They won't be usable without root access, but the apps themselves will be able to be uninstalled. You do not need root access to uninstall an app just because the app needs root access to work.

If 'noob friendly' is your main need, then just root your stock ROM.

You alreayd know how to use it. You can use root to get rid of bloatware, and during that process you'll learn a little bit about how to manage a rooted ROM and apps.

Just make a backup after rooting before you start messing with anything so you can easily revert any changes you make. Give that a month or two and you'll be ready to move on to a custom rom with more features and options. It really doesn't take long to get good at this stuff. But if you're testing the water first, just root the stock ROM and learn all you can there first.

Background: I got my S4 from my Telco in June it got an update a week after I got it. After that I rooted and am on CM10.2 since then. Now there have been a few more updates from my telco but I have not gone back.

Problem:

I want to update my modem firmware to the latest from my telco. Can I just flash using odin the modem file from one of the other threads or not. I haven't been much in touch with what samsung has been doing. I have heard they have a newer bootloader with Knox fuse and stuff so am hesitant to flash the newer modem without checking with experts here. And where should I put the modem file in Odin to flash.
