I have no idea....ive never screwed around with kies

This is from another thread:

^^^^^^ Anyone can help me out with this???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BruKnowsBest:
could I use this version of ODIN for my AT&T S4 or is it just for the T-Mobile S4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
I would imagine this version of Odin will work but I would not suggest using the t-mobile tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jzun223:
I have been trying to download the UVUAMDL Official TAR but it either downloads really slow or after a while it says network error.

Does anybody have any other links?

after successfully using odin to return to stock, im stuck on the tmobile boot screen. its been stuck on this screen for over 5 minutes...do i just wait this out or did i do something wrong? help would be appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Reboot to recovery wipe data and cache reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] killakrez:
thanks that worked perfectly! only thing now is that im not sure if this is 100% stock..when trying to go to system update i get a message that says "your device has been modified. software updates are not available."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
You gotta reset your flash counter with triangle away
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
That's weird. I didn't have to. Used this tar and took the updates right after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
a newbie question: what's the difference between the "official tar" and the "original stock tar" available for download in this thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Official was released by Samsung rather than a developer putting it together for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
thanks.

Hello. sometimes I used this thread to return to stock on my Tmobile M919... but today I have rooted my cell and installed a rom Insane KitKat version 9....

please letme know if I can apply this metod using Odin and using the file in the 1rst Post:

I have this file because in the past I use it : UVUAMDL Official TAR, but I need to know if I stay in Baseband version M919UVUFNB4 its safe using the old tar file UVUAMDL Official TAR... or can use with odin this tar file from this link:

thanks for your repplys...:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
It would not be safe unless you are one of the few who remained on MDL bootloader when updating the GSM radio only to NB4. If you have ever received Knox you cannot go back to MDL. Do you know which bootloader you have? If you still have MDL bootloader you can use the stock UVUAMDL to revert fully to 4.2.2 (and you would have to reinstall the NB4 GSM radio if that's what you did in the past. If you have Knox you need to flash a newer stock image. But yes you can use Odin to recover your phone as long as you are not trying to revert back to pre-Knox MDL bootloader. If your phone is not soft bricked though, you might also be able to use Samsung Kies software to restore your phone to stock.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] boni7010:
I dont know much about this, but I think one time I revert to stock and maybe... "maybe" I was in NB4 but Iam not shure....

I want to revert to stock- then root the phone again -and install TRWP again... ( because In this moment I have some problems with my cell and TRWP ) some of cook roms cant install .... so if I start again from the begining, maybe my phone works good...

:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Download and install "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" from play store to find out what bootloader you have. If you have ever taken 4.4.2 OTA then you have new bootloader with Knox and you can't use MDL tar to go back to stock.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Hey will you direct me to a official NB4 tar for TMobile Galaxy S4? I'm rooted with 4.4.2 bootloader. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
I'm sorry, I would if I could but I've never needed the official NB4 tar so I don't know where to find it. Whenever I need a Stock ROM I go to sammobile.com but since I'm still running MDL bootloader and have a 4.2.2 ROM with NB4 GSM radio I have never needed any stock ROM newer than MDL. Hopefully someone else here will chime in and tell us where it is. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
I have a thread in the general section with all 3 firmwares and mega links
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Thanks. I recently took the OTA after being sick of data drops on MDL bootloader with NB4 baseband. I'm out of warranty anyways. I'll d/w it from Sammobile. Thanks for your help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] boni7010:
here its my information with the program Phone Info:

so..... what tar file its safe to flash with Odin to restore stock rom, then root the phone and then install a TRWP recovery ?

I found this T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Stock Firmware (4.4.2 - M919UVUFNB4), in this page, I think its the official stock rom to NB4 version... but I am not shure .....

:o :D :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
NB4 is all you'll be able to flash. Grab it from there or my thread. I'd grab it from mine tho. It's straight from kies and have never heard of that site or where their hosting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] simplicityy:
flash failed

Hello guys!

I am having difficulty with my phone. For some reason, my Wi-Fi broke while flashing other **** and so I decided to flash back to stock. I just got this phone today and it came pre-loaded with NB4. I downloaded the NB4 stock image. I tried using Odin 3.07 and put the file in PDA, with only auto-reboot checked. The process keeps failing. Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Try using Samsung Kies software to install a complete new stock image. It will make sure your USB drivers are installed properly. Also, read more of the ROM threads before you flash. Sometimes separate patches are required to get your Wi-Fi working again; or, sometimes it stops working because you flashed an incompatible ROM / radio combination or something like that. After Kies gets you running again you will have to root it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ka1iban:
sorry if this isn't the right forum for this post. I have an S4 running the latest nightly of CM11, but I'm experiencing the spotty data problem. I'm not sure if I have the right radio, etc, as performance has been bad through the last few CM upgrades.

I want to Odin back to stock and hope that fixes everything, but after reading the thread, I'm worried if I have the roght bootloader or not.

Can I just flash the latest 4.4 from Samsung and be ok? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Yes.

If you want the 4.4.4 tar I have it in the general section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ka1iban:
Thanks. That worked great.

One question, though. All my programs and account info is still there. Not a problem, I guess, but I thought it would blank the whole phone?

Otherwise, baseband is current and everything looks good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Odin doesn't touch your data partition. Reboot to recovery and wipe data to clear all of that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ka1iban:
Of course. I feel like every six months, I get a new phone, read all the forums, become an expert, root/flash bootloader/rom, good to go, forget EVERYTHING and repeat the whole thing again when I get another phone.

Extra question: I flashed the stock rom, full wipe, data/LTE was fine. Then root & Rom Manager/CWM...I flashed both CM M11 (current) and M9 (last build w/o data issues) and couldn't get data period on either.

I ended up restoring my backup and I'm back where I started (CM11 M11, shaky data). Is a complication or missing step? Also, is there a reliable GPE or AOSP for the M919 (thinking it's time to say goodbye to CM). I toyed with flashing the danvdh 4.4.4 but got Status 7 in CWM

Thanks for your help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
I ran into a small issue. I downloaded the stock tar in the thread and flashed via the 3.0.7 Odin. After it was complete I tried to boot into recovery and it would not let me. I then tried to boot into the device as normal and now I have a screen with the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Any suggestions?

EDIT: and I cannot connect via Kies 2.6.. I can still get into the device via ODIN though. Otherwise it won't boot without that message. I'm boned aren't I?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgp53:
You should be able to pull the battery and reboot into Download mode. Make sure your firmware is correct. Phone should boot the system when it completes.

Recovery will; be stock and you'll need to root again and install a custom recovery.

If your phone was updated to the latest 4.4.4 ota release, the file your looking for is Stock S4 Firmware_M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_TMB Got a copy from sammoblie, but I bet its around XDA somewhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
Thank you, that was it. I returned it to stock after following the instructions in the how-to thread but something happened and it boned the recovery where it would reboot into the device every time. Being they need to inspect the phone and in my case they wiped it in front of me when I turned it in it had to be fixed. The device received the updates from TMO and stupid of me I installed them so it was now 4.3 hence the reason I could not install the stock 4.2 anymore. I found the stock firmware you mentioned above and installed it and it fixed it but tripped the counter. I installed the updates from TMO and it was enough to pass inspection. I was able to go into recovery at the store, show the clerk while he was dicking around with the paperwork for the Note I was about to buy. I reached over, showed him "look here it is in recovery and here is wipe data factory reset okay?" and wiped it. He muttered okay thanks or something like that and we were golden. Heck if he could have read the counter anyways it is so flipping tiny.

Off to the Note 4 forums! Thanks for all the help. The S4 was a blast, sorry as I was to let it go it was such a good phone but the Note 4 is effing sexy. Peace!

it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing

"Set warranty bit : Kernel"

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
That doesn't mean anything. Your current network is overloaded, or the internet connection is not functioning properly. Download somewhere else, or over cellular data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ethem11:
is this 100 percent stock rom ? I mean if i do that, will i have original t mobile rom again ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nba1341:
When I went to check for software updates it told me "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"

So if by 100% stock you mean from an official source then no. 100% stock as in returns you to what you had out of the box then yes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
This is correct. We do not have a leaked stock image, and your device will show in DL Mode and the update dialog as being custom, but this TAR will return your device to a stock state otherwise. It contains system, boot.img (kernel), and recovery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
Mine says Official in Odin mode and also About Device. I was unrooted on k0nane's MDB build and then Odin'ed MDL. I don't remember having any problems with wifi and it said official then. I installed TWRP and restored a rooted nandroid from the MDB build. It worked fine but I forgot when I had that one it was using all data as hotspot data. Did a factory reset and rebooted and had the problem with no wifi and the "your system is modified" blah blah notification. Booted to recovery, wiped everything, Odin'ed MDL, no problems everything official. Made a .tar for someone for CWM 6.0.3.2, tested it, odin'ed MDL, no problems, back to official. Made a .tar for CWM touch, tested it, odin'ed MDL, no problems, back to official.

Only thing I can suggest to people having problems is install a custom recovery, wipe everything and Odin MDL. Or install MBD, a custom recovery, wipe everything and Odin MDL.

Hey Guys.

Followed procedure, worked great!

However. My three year old son pulled out the cable from the computer in the middle of downloading image to phone. the phone is still in download mode with the bar half way across... but it wont finish even if i re open.. im nervous to touch the phone. if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: did battery pull and held down vol up and down well connected to pc to jump to download mode.. hope it works..seams to be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] psych0phobia:
This actually did work for me. I'm not entirely sure why or how, but here's what happened. Out of frustration (the phone I got is a lemon - overheating causing constant soft reboots), I eventually flashed the MDB from here and then the official MDL. After leaving the device powered down overnight, I noticed this morning that the about screen now says "official". I'll be sending it for RMA today with no worries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Orical:
I did the same thing on my S3, my son was mad I was on the computer and yanked the cord in the middle of it all. As long as your able to get back into download mode everything will be fine but if you can't your in trouble but keep that in mind as that's the beauty of a Sammy device as long as you can get to download mode your golden.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dkotoric:
I'm sorry call me a nob but whats MDB and MDL. What I have normally done in the past (aka Note 2) use triangle away and then used odin and downloaded the tar file?, never used a MDB or MDL file, what are those?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jdom58:
I believe MDB is the Baseband/Build Number of the stock firmware prior to OTA update and MDL is after OTA update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dkotoric:
ok so where are these MDB and MDL files. I only see the TAR file in the OP?

Also how do I flash them, same as the TAR files using odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
MDB and MDL just refers to what build it is. UVUAMDB is the stock build that came with the phone. UVUAMDL is the update that was just released. That is the .tar files you'll see in the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dkotoric:
oooh ok thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
Guys -

How long did the first reboot take? After ODIN'ing MDL over CM10.1, it boots into recovery, installs a couple things, then boots up. Right now, it's been on the 'T-Mobile' boot-up animation for 4.5 minutes. (I know, on my Fascinate, sometimes it could take 7-8 minutes, so I wanted to check before starting to dig in..)

Edit: Apparently, it ony takes about 5 minutes the first time. Whew. :)

--Me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dkotoric:

We really need to get a PIT file so we can wipe and flash via ODIN in one step. I still have the old ones HERE.

I only push this because, in some cases, it can save someone's butt. I've been there before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
Someone that is on stock can pull a .pit from heimdall.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
yup. i'm in the process of building Heimdall 1.4.1 RC3 now. But if someone already has it built then that would be quicker.

UPDATE:

OR.... if someone has more experience throwing this together with visual studio than I... here is the master zip from GitHub

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21231693/Heimdall-master.zip

UPDATE 2:

Me and a few other ppl had problems compiling for Win32. Benjamin just replied to me on Google+ and said we can probably expect to see official release of Heimdall 1.4 for all platforms within the next 36 hours. So cheers! Thx Benjamin.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterEdF:
Sorry, what am I missing here? The OP has "official MDL TAR's" but they keep downloading as ZIPs (with no TAR inside the zip). Should I just flash them with CWM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Nope. Just unzip the tar from inside the zip file. The zip them to cut down on file size a little.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

At the present time there is NO way to get back to complete factory MDB. If you flashed anything over it... you're not getting it back.

If you flashed the completely stock MDL firmware... the closest you can get to original MDB it is to do the following:

1. Enter settings menu. Go to Accounts / Backup and reset. Perform "Factory data reset".

2. Boot into Recovery and perform a Data Wipe / Factory Reset / Clear Cache.

3. Boot into Download Mode and use ODIN to flash CWM Recovery found here.

4. Boot into CWM Recovery and flash the stock MDB bootimage found here.

5. Boot into Download Mode and use ODIN to flash MDB firmware found here.

That's the best I can offer to you, at the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] f2bacon:
Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but what's the difference between MDB and MDL? I'm soft bricked on the tmobile screen.

I'm on the out of box version (didn't update, because I rooted before I noticed the update so I missed my window) and all I wanna do is get it booting again, without wiping data if possible
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
MDB ---> shipped on the device

MDL ---> update released on May 7th

you should probably give up on saving data. you will need to wipe and reinstall.
