Sprint Galaxy s4 Return to Stock firmware Update Flash ROM

No...the 1.5GB file should already include the stock Kernel...This Odin process is so NICE because lets say your phone is all mest up "like stuck on boot screen" it will return it back to factory stock...including a stock recovery....just like you bought the phone. The phone will do all the updates without problems.

Fool-proof-method

1. Download and run Triangle Away to bring your phone back to Samsung Official and not "Custom" so your guaranteed to be able to update....this is if you have a custom recovery already installed or have rooted the phone before...download here

2. Download the Odin file...I believe the .zip contains the .tar file...here

3. Read/download how to use Odin such as installing USB Drivers, proper USB cord...etc...here...

4. Special note before rebooting...Rooting, custom recovery, or Kernel will mean you loose that "Samsung Offical" so you won't be able to update.

4. Reboot phone and done...

5. Easy way to start flashing again is to use Odin again and flash this custom recovery...download the -spr- for Sprint ".tar file" here

6. Download and flash your ROM through the recovery...no need to root or anything...just need the ROM.

Spent some time making this post...hit the thanks button on the left if I helped you in any way.:good:

Hi, noob here

I've just updated manually to 4.3 (JWR66V) factory image - last week.

Everything was running great and I was really happy with the performance improvements.

Yesterday, I've started to notice that everything is getting laggy - when scrolling in most of the apps everything is laggy

Started to uninstall app by app - no change.

Did a factory reset - no change

My processor is not busy as i'm constantly monitoring it (with system info droid) 350Mhz / 29% when idle

I don't use a live wallpaper

Going to developer options/profile gpu rendering you can see from the attachment what's happening.

This was not happening couple of days ago, so I don't get it. How can I debug this issue ?

Thanks !

EDIT: added another attachment - developer options/ profile gpu rendering -on - trying to change the wallpaper

EDIT: can at least anyone confirm getting lags when scrolling - trying to change the wallpaper from the home screen ? (second attach)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] finnsonc:
So I've been having a problem with many custom roms. I'm unable to write to /system. Titanium backup says I have plenty of free space but I'm unable to restore system apps. Also, when I try to install the anti-theft part of the avast anti-virus app it says there's no space to write to. But the stock rom that I have rooted will work fine.

I've only been able to get one custom rom to work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313469 but I was unable to change the dpi on it as far as I could tell. I've tried slim rom, BeanStock, KangaBean (4.3), and one more that I can't seem to remember at the moment.

I've attached some screenshots below so you can see what I mean.

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I just got my S4 so I realize I may just be missing some obvious thing.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
I saw my friends note 2 which had the multi window function basically you can have two windows up at the same time. I thought this was very useful and even better than what we have using halo. I was wondering if there was a ROM they had this type of functionality. what he was using was a touch wiz ROM.

thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1672
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
Clearly you're brand new to the s3. It has multi window built in in the latest update.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
That's funny. You buy a phone and don't even know how to use it. Did you immediately root and flash a custom Rom. Just long press the back button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
Yeah I fairly new only had the phone about a year. Apparently ASOP does not have it built in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
Yeah no idea how to use it, cant even make a call on it. Its crazy.

Luckily thanks to searching the web I found a place with a Q and A section. I think you are supposed to be able to ask a question in that section and get some help. Then usually they have some helpful people who try to answer the questions.

Its probably not your fault, mom woke you up early and you were a little cranky. So being an [MENTION=1254938]ssh[/MENTION]ole was the easy thing to do. I dont blame you but I would definitely have some words with your parents.

PS long pressing the back button closes apps. Just letting you know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
Long pressing the back button with multi Windows turned on a touch wiz rom will enable or disable it. You can call me anything you want but I will not be pulled into insults. You did have it right I was a little cranky and you can talk to my wife about that. I apologize for my comment insulting you. As soon as you said halo I knew you was using something other than touchwiz. I should have simply said with touchwiz and clarified. I was not being helpful like this community deserves. CM based and tw roms are different and should have asked what you was running. Sorry again and I hope you the best with any future questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
Hey its cool.

Yeah I probably should have added I have been on PA ASOP for 10 months. I like it, but I feel that multi windows would be very useful. I might have to try one of the touch wiz roms to see if this is true.

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Watoy:
Yep pretty much all the tw ROMs now have multi window
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
If you jump to tw Rom I recommend bonestock v3.3. Give you a lot of options for customizing but you will be missing out on a lot of PA features you have probably got used to. I have used PA on multiple devices but I never could stay with it as my long-term rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
My favorite "feature" of PA is the look in settings with the tablet layout. Its shallow but I love the way it looks and its easy to adjust settings.

I never really used pie that much, it was just difficult for me.

I did like Halo because I am always using multi windows. GPS, Web browsing, gmail, or even FB and twitter. I always seem to have 2 things going on. Halo made it easier.

Bonestock hmm well that will be the first one I try. I love getting recommendations, because it can be a daunting task to figure out which rom to flash. Especially with 50+ tw roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
multi window is cool, but its much more useful on a bigger screen.

good luck finding what you need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Like on a tablet? I just find it more useful on a 7 inch screen of a tablet then on a 5 inch screen of a smartphone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
yeah or the note.

itsc ool. i fiddled around with it for a while but found myself not using it after a couple of days. its worth trying if you think youll benefit from it. i just didnt find it as useful as i expected

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samprocat:
I own all editions from galaxys to note edition ....to give you right answer. ....

If don't mind little bigger phone. ...your advantage is better battery better overall use...to my opinion if your lifestyle is one thing that you need to consider. ....

S4...

Little smaller not very big difference. ...lower battery life. ...after some time fills like S3 ...almost same tasks can be done. ..

My winner is still Note II and Note III on the way:cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stevessvt:
Before everyone starts berating you for not installing another rom, I installed goldeneye and it was fine for a bit and got terrible lag on the home screen and app drawer. So I went back to rooted stock again. Only rom for my phone that is smooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Okay one of these thread whining about t mobile updates just got locked. Can we not start a new one?

If you want updates now, root your phone and update it to your heart's content. That is what XDA is here for.

If you want to stay stock for whatever reasons and complain about a lack of updates, do it on the t mobile forums. They have forums there that are monitored by people who might actually listen and do something about it. There are zero people from t mobile reading this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I got the opposite - lag with stock and not with custom ROM's (and kernels) like Wicked and Omega.

Hi. This might be a stupid question, but what real difference is there between a android development and original android development?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !nNOcEnT_DeViL:
Actually, the name says it all. Basically, Original Android Development is about doing original works like building a new kernel source OR porting some other rom. Android Development is about modifying Original Android Development like building custom roms from stock roms.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kazekage Gaara:
Hi guys,

One of my cousins has a Lenovo K1 tablet. Recently when we booted it up and as soon as we unlock the lockscreen on initial start up, EVERYTHING force closes. We get pop ups about various processes that force closed and all we can do is press "OK" and the pop ups just keep coming and coming.

My cousin isn't very tech savy. He doesn't even remember what he was installing or what he was doing when it started doing this. He doesn't even know which Android version it has. All we can assume is that it is running stock. The basic font and theme makes me think it is on ICS but we aren't sure. The pop ups are so irritating, we can't even go into settings or do a factory reset :(

Another bad thing is that my cousin has lost the data cable. All he has is the tab and the power adapter for charging.

Is there any future to this tab ? What can I do to help ? I am not even sure whether there is a recovery option in this K1 tablet or not and how to boot into recovery.

If I am successful in booting into recovery, I can hopefully flash one of the latest 4.2.2 JB roms here :)

Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated.

Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kazekage Gaara:
Hi guys,

It's been a very long time since I got a reply, but nonetheless I'll try again and this time with pics.

I am going to order the data cable now either from the US Ebay site or DX.com site.

But in the mean time, now I have the tablet in my hands, and when I start it up, it shows this lockscreen...

In the lower right corner, you can see the battery icon and there it says "No internet connection".

After that, when I unlock it, it immediately shows VARIOUS Force Close popups, which look like this...

And when I try to LONG PRESS the power button, it simply shows this message "Power Off - Would you like to shutdown" and there is OK and Cancel. It looks like this...

From the looks of the lockscreen, it seems that it is stock ICS or something. I am not sure. I am unable to open or go anywhere :( When long pressing the power button, there is NO OPTION for "Boot into recovery" or anything. Is there any way I can factory reset this tab WITHOUT the data cable ? I have ordered the data cable, but it will take at least 10 to 15 days to reach me.

What would you guys suggest I do ?

Thanx a lot in advance for any help :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Kazekage Gaara:
Alright, so I did a lot of research and found out that my only option is to order a data cable and connect the tablet using that data cable to the PC in APX mode and reflash.

Thought I should mention it in case someone has problems like me and comes looking for answers :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jerryatherton:
Once you have the data cable follow the instructions for flashing a rom with NVFlash, I would suggest KASCHEMME.S CM 10.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] devilex94:
Note: This mod is only for Deodexed stock rom!!

I don't take any responsiblity of your bricked phone.
You are doing this by your will.

This mod is to disable signature check in xolo play.

There were chances that phone won't allow modded system apps to get installed and run but from this mod you can modify any app or framework and they will work.

Procedure:

Download the services.jar from attachments.

Replace it with phone's services.jar in /system/framework

And give rw-r-r permission to the latest services.jar.

Note: There are chances that your phone will reboot automatically before you give any permissions so you will get into bootloop

Therefore for safest way

Do as directed:

1.put this services.jar in sdcard.

2.rename this services.jar to services.jarn ( n for new ).

3.move services.jarn to /system/framework.

4.give services.jar rw-r-r permissions.

5.rename old services.jar to services.jaro ( o for old ).

6.rename services.jarn back to services.jar.

Desperate now.. Any help?:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There isn't a 3.17 RUU. You'd have to use an earlier one and OTA up.

Exactly how have you "bricked" your phone? If it turns on and can get to bootloader it's not bricked. Post your hboot details please, and whatever you did to get it to this point.

[HTC One S] slypenguin0:
I have used Dark Jelly, Illusion, and CM 10.1 (and loved them) all with the 3.4 kernel. I am aware of the data turning off issue. When I first started using the roms it would only disconnect once a day or so. Couple weeks later it was multiple times a day. Now it is almost never on and it keeps saying my simcard is not inserted. So I was looking for a non 3.4 kernel and rom to go with it!

Any suggestions?

Well unfortunately, the VN6 puts me in bootloop because Carbon is a 3.4 rom. I found an older version of Carbon, 1.7, that will work on the the VN6 (at least it looks like it will). I am going to try Bubba's 3.4 kernel with carbon first and see how my data connection is. I've seen people saying that they have fixed their issue by adjusting the build.prop but I'm unsure how to do that. I should maybe update my radio? I'm on 1.13.50.05.31

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodred:
1080p contend is supported more often from apps because of the amount of supported devices, I wondered if downscaling the tablet's screen resolution to 1080p is supported by any rom and if it would save a few hours of extra usage to the tablet?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bv90andy:
I am no expert but I know that when you give the command to change the resolution it doesn't actually change it, it's more of a virtual/spoofing, to make the system think it's changed. So all the pixels will still be there. But when watching videos in 1080p the "upscaling" won't take much of your battery, if any at all. You won't notice it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkirmeier:
A digital screen only has 1 resolution. To use any alternate resolution it must be scaled to the screens native resolution so if you were to somehow force a resolution other then the native it would have to re-scale it to the native in order to display it which would require additional processing...

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodred:
I am asking for the SoC power consumption,logic says less effort saves more energy,current pixels to handle are about 4 million instead of the half that 1080p are

Though there might be needed optimizations as a modded kernel with different clock speeds
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
"Logic" that's ill-informed can be just as fallacious as a random guess. Your particular brand is working off of some very silly assumptions, and your second sentence really just highlights that. A modded kernel with different clock speeds? Please.

When you downscale an image, you have less pixels to handle only in the sense that the image becomes smaller. The actual display still requires that all of the physical pixels be addressed before it can display anything. The only reason that you see graphical performance improve in say, a computer video game when you're playing on a lower resolution is when the bottleneck is the graphics card rendering an image. If your computer is struggling with the output, then you have a different set of problems.

On a tablet, a game that's not built to the screen resolution (let's say it's designed for a 720p panel for the sake of argument) will keep load fairly light on the GPU for rendering, but the same amount of work as normal to display (although this is a simplification, it'll work for these purposes). That's because whether the content is 720p or 1080p doesn't matter-- the GPU still needs to figure out how to stretch it to the dimensions of the physical screen.

Bottom line, you're not going to save "a few hours" of usage. All the work you'd need to do normally will still be there, plus the chicanery of trying to transform all video output to 1080p again only for the physical screen to demand its normal resolution.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodred:
How do you explain the 3rd ipad (that your sighn shows you have) overheat from the SoC?The amount of retina display pixels caused it and overheat means power loss as far as I know.Anyway your ironic first setence made me loose any interest for rest of your post.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bv90andy:
This! I know I was playing Dead trigger and you can enable the advanced graphics for tegra gpus, and it was laggy, but after reducing the resolution (the game doesn't allow this, or didn't the last time I played it) the game was buttery smooth.

And no, video decoding doesn't care what resolution your screen is. It still has to decode the whole video and display all the pixels, weather they are upscaled or not. your battery won't be affected by that. Apps on the other hand, like games, are another story.
