did the OC no problems

thanks!

I'm about to take my phone in tomorrow because my internal mic stopped working

How do I know after doing this nothing fishy will show up on my phone when they look at it to see if it was rooted. I.e. what should I be looking for under "about phone" or whatever to confirm all original?

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
If you flashed other stuff you'll probably want to run Triangle Away before flashing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] grenade01:
Anyone know another mirror for this? I tried it at home and work (time warner cable and cbeyond/Verizon T1 connection), but for some reason I get to like 60ish mb's and the download just stops every time on either connection. I really want to debrick my phone lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
I'll be nice and PM you to my personal website as long as you don't share the link. You should pull up to 100mbps. Unfortunately it's not on my 1000mbps server because that's my VOIP server:(.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] grenade01:
You are my hero sir!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
I'll take private PM requests from anyone if you want the file on the faster server.

Can a mod please change the thread title to SCH-I545.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Did it go away?

I had to go into download mode after flashing this 3 times to get the custom to go away (I didn't go in after flash 1 and flash 2 attempts - this might fix it?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papapena25:
If I have flashed custom roms on my S4 do I need to flash the pit file also to be 100% stock? I'm asking because I had to on my Note 2 for the latest OTA to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Don't think you do. The member I walked though a restore over the phone for 2 hours never installed a pit file. He just used the image file and that was it. Then we proceeded to reroot his phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] denpad2010:
i just rooted and isntalled a custom rom yesterday,now i need sell this phone and buyer required me to restore it back to stock,is this odin package what i need to flash,if so do i need any pit file?? or just the package flashed in odin in pda box?? thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
The Stock Image should be all you need to go back to stock.

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpmcnown:
I agree, who the hell knows what you're downloading. But I believe you mean "SCH-i545" "SPH" implies Sprint, which is "SPH-L720"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papapena25:
I would flash the pit file also. Better safe then sorry. Your buyer would be upset down the road when he gets a OTA and his phone gets stuck in a boot loop. I thought flashing the stock image was all I needed on my Note 2, then accepted the newest OTA and my phone wouldn't even boot in download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Try the one located in my signature. I have 3 restore choices to pick from. I know they work because I've walked people though the restores via phone. They will also download faster than the other 4-5 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Just confirming.. this is the “restore to 100% stock" thread correct?

After following these instructions my phone will be factory stock correct

?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Yes, the links in my signature should help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Actually... think OP was clear on mirrors. If there's a problem with rwilco12.com you might try a pm to rwilco12. If you're mirroring without permission you will probably want to remove that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
BY custom do you mean in the boot loader or the boost screen? I think the boot screen is done bu SuperSU (or whatever root program). Try uninstalling that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
That is correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
Just so I'm clear, doing this will undo any rooting method that was applied? I am experiencing some phone goofiness and just want to try to confirm that my rooting it was NOT the cause.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
It should yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
I have a quick questiom this is used to restore phone back to stock if you brick it right? And u need odin to flash it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Provided you can still load Odin on the phone. If you can it's flashable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a.demarco:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
This worked great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
There are some threads on this about rebooting a few times to doing something else but not sure exactly. Maybe someone else can chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
Did you uninstall the SuperSU?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
It installed during motochopper then I just updated binary in play store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RedBullet:
I think you just have to uninstall it. But SuperSU is the culprit.

need stock tar file download isn't working

I need someone to point me in the right direction. Seems like the RWILCO12 site for downloading the stock tar file is not working. I have been trying all day to get this file downloaded. My S4 is hosed and I need to go back to stock. Help....Thanks in advance....:crying:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Instead of going to (unauthorized and therefore uncertain) mirrors, please end a PM to rwilco12 detailing what's going on. His hosting is on AFH's backbone so any issues identified ought to be fixed in short order.

DarkMenace,

How's about asking the OP for permission to mirror before you do so, even if by PM?

Without that you might want to do the right thing and pull the file.

Pretty sure OP was clear on the mirror policy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
I tared up my own .exe packages with the files so how does one ask for permission when they did the stuff themselves and have a much better connection than 20-60kb/sec?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Glad you responded! About the files themselves I'll be happy to challenge your claim via PM.

About connections, if there's a problem with OP's primary mirror it's been said many times, REPORT IT.

I download from the same site, no special permissions and get 1-2 Mbps down.

I'm all for mirrors when the poster approves them, but again - OP was clear on mirror policy.

Is this Stock Rom for a different device other than the Verizon Galaxy S4

because ive always thought its an I545 not I454?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
This is for Verizon i545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] puk3n:
excuse me but whats the I454? do you mean I545?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
I've reported it to mod's so many times to get the name changed with no luck. Maybe if more people report it, then we can get it fixed. Maybe we should start a new thread with the correct name so people know what's what.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Official mirror for those having problems downloading from rwilco12:

Official Tar.md5 mirror for stock restore:

Note:

Any downloads from unauthorized mirrors, such as DarkMenace, are not supported by Team Sextape.

If you need official mirrors say so and I'll post them in this post.

(Unfortunately I can't update OP here... I WILL update SXTP thread though.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
That's our worry and not yours.

But! I gotta give you credit -you're coming around. At least this time you're admitting they're not your files.

Folks, if you need a mirror... PM and I'll get one to you as quickly as possible. Better to go straight to the source especially when the source is willing to talk and help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Naddict:
Thread cleaned,

Here is the deal folks, the use of PM to ask for, provide links to, or directly share stuff that violates XDA rules and standards, is STILL a violation of XDA rules!

If I or any other Moderator sees this activity, you will be infracted, end of story. This site is about the developers who actually create the work, kanging and sharing others work without permission or credit is just plain wrong.

Any more intimations or "PM me" to folks other than the creators of the work will be infracted as well.

Iron fist folks, iron fist...

I tried downloading that stock restore exe which that server is blazing fast, after i downloaded it and tried to restore my phone, i kept getting program not responding, i never had problems with a tar file with odin to restore, but am i missing something with this one click restore. Also after failed attempt to get one click restore to flash my phone, I downloaded the TAR file from the links in the first post and that is another prob, i am stuck at downloading @ 52 kbs a sec and the server must be bogged down, I was hoping of you would have a time and i would greatly appreciate a mirror link to the TAR file.

Hello,

I have followed this process twice and factory reset my device and it seems to have partially been successful.

THANK YOU

Only thing is when I power on it still says Custom with the padlock unlocked.

As well when I go to About Device Status it says Custom...

Is it supposed to or what can I do to get rid of it?

I am having a problem with my WIFI radio and wanted to exchange it.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adk21589:
This might be a mildly silly question but... Can we flash this over ME7 (OTA update)? or are ME7 still stuck for a workaround? If I can somehow odin back to MD5 and start flashing roms... that would be an early Christmas. :highfive:

Once on me7 youre unable to go back to mdk. You can root me7 tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jami2976:
probably a dumb question

hey guys somewhat new to this s4 forum, had a custom rom (hyperdrive) and im wanting to go back to to stock, completely stock and i want the ability to update my phone, flashed the stock image in this thread as well as the kernel and the stock recovery and im still not able to update, do i need to flash the pit file? and if so where can i find it..thanks in advance to all who reply

Disregard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
How can you tell people not to mirror a stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgolden84:
It's not a stock rom. It's a leaked factory image two totally different things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Whether a dump or a leaked image is irrelevant.

Anyhow we can argue about this via PM if you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
So you guys are saying that if I make a heimdall package of a stock mdk system that there would more differences than just the prerelease kernel? Now im curious...

You and I are on same page. Anyhow I wasn't trying to start this I don't want to be the cause of the thread getting locked.

Does anyone have a mirror for this? I have tried downloading this about 10 times with no luck

Help

I am on a mdk build and was trying to just flash to get rid of root and I am stock on the Verizon screen when it boots. I can get into download mode and tried using odin again to install it thinking maybe didn't take even though it said pass. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
You should first double check to see if it was a bad download. Every time I tried downloading it, I got a bad download. It would say 100% but would only be 600mb or so

Hi there,

Can someone please verify that the TAR file hosted on the OP's website is the FULL wipe (aka "Emergency" tar) version?

This thread appears to have the "No-Wipe" version for MDK, but the Full Wipe (or Emergency) one that's posted there is for the NC5, not MDK: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751461

This thread is the only place I've been able to find the Full Wipe version, so I just want to confirm that it's actually full wipe and it's for MDK.

Thanks!

Cannot OTA upgrade after?

Trying to pass along this phone to a friend. Went back to stock, however it is not able to OTA afterwards. Says "Software update is temporarily unavailable".

Anyone run into this before?

The question I have is, am I able to ODIN newer releases over MDK?

I know you can't down grade via ODIN, but what about update?

Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] magiin:
I'd like to point out this link since I spent a solid amount of time looking for a proper MDK odin tar file and failed at finding any except this one link, that I found from xda.

User Rwilco's repo has it, along with a 1-click exe that 100% works, I just finished using it and works without a hitch.

http://www.rwilco12.com/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
I have this file backed up on a thumb drive. I haven't shared a file with people before but would be willing to if anyone needed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Yeah, I grabbed the tar file from there. You're right, this thread was a bit difficult to find. Thank goodness I took my time and didn't accidentally choose one of the non-MDK images.

Anyway, what's the difference between the one-click and the TAR? Does the one-click just come with ODIN packaged in and a script that directs you through the process and does everything for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] magiin:
I used the one click, as risky as it seemed considering there was no info about it whatsoever, but yes, it's a packaged 1-click with odin, and a script that automatically runs through it once you click start with the included mdk tar already within the exe.

Can someone compare the battery life to GB stock ROM?

Because I like this ROM, but I would also like good battery life.

Since those CM's do not offer that good battery life.

Good for me is 2 days without charging with modest ussage.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eza azami:
Downloading, it's look very nice ROM and very smooth
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eza azami:
Really smooth JB ROM, but no file manager installed? :confused:

And how I can modify power widget in status bar? There is no system setting like another ROM.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klacenas:
Because its aosp. File manager and settings you mentioned are CM additions
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dollyaja:

Have you try greenify? :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sagaracipta:

Me too..it does not persist. May I know why the broodRom v3.3 kernel of/UV in broodrom setting is not being installed? It tells me to reboot but the normal arco's kernel come up. This also happens to the performance tweaks also. It does not get installed.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
Is the battery life better than on Arco's CM10?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] outerh3aven:
Thanks for the feedback guys!

I am into it, but don't have much time at the moment.

And if you read OP, you will see the "do not use!!!" note.

I have to get rid of it, since brood doesn't support his kernel for ancora.

Cheers :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dollyaja:
Dont bother with brood kernel,use hurtsky or CITK kernels,it works
