If your phones anything like mine its hard to revert back to mf9 from any ROM. But i also tried this reverting back from 4.3.1 and it worked for me.

1. wipe system, data, cache & dalvich

2. Pull battery & go into download mode and odin the bootloader zip

- mf9fullupgrade.tar.md5

3. pull battery out odin kernel

(i found this online myself) - KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUAMF9-1372121308.tar

http://hotfile.com/dl/235555960/fb7adeb/KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUAMF9-1372121308.tar.html

4. Pull battery then odin this stock deodexed rom - Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_MF9_Rom.tar http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489997318<< this is a rar file so u must extract

and just wait about 5 minutes the yellow sprint screen comes up and dims after 3 minutes letting u know the ROM is setting up. and in 5 seconds ur at the welcome screen.

This is probably the wrong place to post or ask this but here it goes...

So with the release of the Cyanogenmod one-click ( http://www.androidcentral.com/cyanogenmod-installer-hits-play-store-help-you-flash-your-phone )

I thought I would try it out, wtf I was thinking at the time I have no idea as im a total n00b when it comes to this stuff...

anyways.. I did the process and it all worked perfectly then I when I actually started using it.. well, it didn't work so perfectly anymore.. I have missed calls, couldn't access my voicemail and other settings, lost access to text functionality (temporarily, fixed after a reboot and battery pull). this trouble may now cost me a new full time job that i have been trying to get and i cant have that at all so oi need to get back to my Stock US Sprint S4 Current firmware...

After testing out the build now for a few days it just doesn't seem to be to my liking. I would like to revert back to Stock Touch wiz for the US S4 VARIENT. Being as it was a one click to get this far and myself being a complete flashing noob where should I start to go back to stock, bloat and all, I can root and freeze again at a later time.

Should I browse the XDA forums more or does anyone have a link to a better resource? I would like to get back my multiscreen tasking and smart srcoll and other Samsung features.

Help, I'm so lost and worried... I just cant afford to have this stuff happening right now and can't believe i was okay with just up and trying this... curse my curiosity...

Someone, anyone, point a finger and I will go to where it says. Would this "Full Restore" option in this topic work for me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] woshiweili:
Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!

I got tired of messing around with all these ROMs and just wanted something that just works so I decided to go back to stock. It couldn't have possibly been easier!!! I did have to reboot into recovery and do a factory reset as suggested a few pages back but it worked.

Thank you again. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gudaman:
Your comment basically confirms the information I think I needed. Thanks, and when I soft brick my phone because I cant follow direction I'll be back.

When you say it doesn't play nice what exactly do you mean? You should be able to download, double-click and it does all the work. If that doesn't work then you should be able to it with 7zip.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] andrewqueen:
I'm having the same issue as this guy you quoted. Downloaded the file from your site and get an error when I run the .exe file. Also get the same error when trying to extract through 7zip.

EDIT: Never mind, i'm an idiot. For some reason it did not download the entire file from your site although it said download complete. Very strange, i'm re-downloading it now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rwilco12:
Lol talk about timing! I was just responding to the first guy when you posted the same answer I was posting. :)

By any chance are you using a download manager? I've had issues with some of them reporting complete even though they aren't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rwilco12:
That's a different error than the other guy. Your error is related to the actual flashing, his was unpacking the compressed archive.

You didn't install the latest update did you? I've heard reports that you can't downgrade back to this build from it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BIGSAMDA1ST:
I think he may have resolved his issue already. It's just that he posted multiple threads. Finally realized that he was on MJA..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] andrewqueen:
Hah funny, nope just downloading it directly from chrome, nothing else. I have another question. I'm on gummy 4.4 rom and I never did the MJA ota but I did odin the MJA modem, would I be able to still use this to go back to MF9 without anything bad happening?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rwilco12:
I believe you should be good but unfortunately I don't have an S4 to test it out on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] andrewqueen:
I appreciate the reply, I'm pretty sure as long as I did not do the MJA ota i'd be ok, thanks for all your work man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmilch:
I am getting the exact same error. And I have been trying to download this. I downloaded it 3 times now.

It appears as though the download is not finishing, but says it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Try different laptops/PC or internet connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] andrewqueen:
Same thing happened to me. I switched to internet explorer instead of using chrome to download and it finally fully downloaded after 2 tries, just keep trying and it will eventually download
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TigerFan24:
Might be a dumb question but I don't really know lol, but can you use this to go back to full stock mf9 from the new mja? Im having a few issues and I think it was my root method and just want to start over at this point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Foulwx:
No one has figured out how to go back. Once the MJA bootloader is on your device, you can't return. I've been fairly happy with MJA, but I really love kitkat on my Nexus 7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zeroxia:
Hi just flashed this, it brought my baseband from MDC to MF9, but my data is not wiped, weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] andrewqueen:
Are you sure you used the right file? He has a rooted one that does not wipe data along with this one that does. I just used this last night and it wiped my data so maybe run it again to be safe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TigerFan24:
I'm just having an issue that I can't figure out. I'm truing to flash sac's new ROM (and ive been on it before working fine) but when it boots I have a message pop up saying factory mode is on and that some features will not work, it then turns off wifi. A few seconds later a message pops up saying device will reboot. And it does this over and over. I've just never had this happen and I've tried just about everything: several flashes on multiple downloads, wiping different ways, 3 different recoveries.. And still the same thing. I can flash other ROMs no problem but I'm the only one in that thread with the issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] egingell:
Are you really requesting ROM support in a thread for a different ROM?

SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27

SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Foulwx:
Before I took the plunge to MJA, I wanted to start from scratch and and I also flashed the MF9 restore version....with the same results as you. For some reason, the restore version was not wiping userdata. It may have worked for some folks, but not for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TigerFan24:
Not at all, this ROM is a full restore to stock mf9. My question was about the bootloader (pertaining to this thread..). Foul said he was on mja and liked it so I shared my one issue I was having. It is a weird one so I went into detail. I apologize if I offended you in any way. Either way my question was answered, thanks Foulwx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] egingell:
No offense taken. It just looked like you were asking for support for Sac's ROM. It's a little ambiguous.

SGS2 - JB 4.1.2 GB27

SGS4 - JB 4.2.2 MF9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] zeroxia:
There was SuperSU stuff before applying this flash, and the modem version is MDC, I can be sure because I downgraded it to unlock SIM.

After this flash, SuperSU is gone, modem version is MF9, no root access, no TWRP recovery. Anyway I rebooted into the official recovery and did a factory reset manually.

I believe the file was the correct one, and 7zip extraction completed successfully so download was not corrupted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] egingell:
Are you reporting that SuperSU and root are missing? This is an unrooted restore.

Hey guys, I keep getting this error.

Please help.

After this error, I take the battery out and put it back in.

It proceeds to take me to a screen that says:

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
You must be on MK2 or NG2. You cannot downgrade the software via odin after upgrading. You have to Odin NG2 tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Drasztic:
I've tried so many of them. I can't remember if I tried NG2 but I'll let it download overnight and re-try it. MK2 didn't work. I don't remember having NG2 though. I remember messing with the baseband however before.

You can unlock by using the domestic unlock thread found in the general section.

Also tried with ODIN (the normal one) using the pit file and other .tar's and all give me the same error.

Yes you have knox boatloader. You will not be able to downgrade Or flash anything besides what you have now.

Anyways if I can't flash anything else then the phone is useless now.

There's no CM12 for ODIN (that i know of) and Recovery won't boot so... :/ RIP

If you can get to download mode, you can flash a stock Lolli ROM - like this one - with Odin. You just can't downgrade.

Yesterday, I was trying to unlock my SPH-L720, I followed the thread, it was necessary to change the MF5 Modem . When I flashed the other Modem that was recommended and when I am done unlocking, I tried to go back flashing the MF5 Modem again, but it failed ! That caused me the "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue" problem, luckly, the Download mode was working so I flashed a TWRP recovery, then I the the wipes, then I flashed Lollipop 5.0.1 official ROM, but when the phone started, it was in mess, sound not working and black screen sometimes, lag ...

So I tried to flash the One Click Odin Restore for SPH-L720, but it failed did not pass and caused again the problem of " Firmware Upgrade ...." then I flashed the recovery again , did the wipes and I was lucky because I flashed the official 4.4.2 ROM and it worked ! The phone was normal again , then I upgraded it to 5.0.1.

This is my story with solving this problem, It can be helpful for someone.

Please let me know if all the icons and everything work. I don't have this carrier so I just want to make sure everything themed and is working ok.

And also to get the lock screen clock to change you have to go into settings, lock screen widgets, clock or personal message, and change it from personal message to clock. Save then go to clock size and change to large. I themed normal size also but in my opinion large looks better.

I don't use it very often but I do like one handed operation. Today I realized that it wasn't working so I started undoing all the mods/setup I've been working on. Turns out it was lightflow. I can disable it in accessibility options and one hand operation immediately starts working.

Are there any other decent led control apps to try?

Thought I'd post here to hopefully save anyone else the trouble if they run into the same problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snwbrdr852:
It seems like having anything enabled under Accessibility kills one-handed mode.

But Light Flow is working for me without the Accessibility setting. There's a new setting called Notification Access in the Security section.

Try enabling Light Flow there and see if it works. As I said, mine is working that way, but I'm also rooted, so maybe that has something to do with it...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
Yeah it was enabled there too. Maybe there's just something wrong with mine because my wife just informed me that hers is working find and all she did was install it and forget about it. I had to enable options I've never used before like the one to make the led flash even when the screen is on, in order to get or to do anything at all.

I'm rooted too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bd177:
Make sure that you have the LED settings under 'Settings' > 'Display' to have "Charging" and "Notifications" checked along with the checkbox in 'Security' > 'Notification Access'.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
Lol, looks like that was my problem. For some reason I thought they all needed to be turned off so I did that initially and didn't even think to revisit it.

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imablackhat:
So we don't need to enable it in accessibility? Cuz that ruins most features. Makes you disable them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclutter1:
Mine is currently disabled in Accessibility and enabled in Security -> Notification Access. In Display -> LED indicator, I have Charging, and Notifications checked.

Working like a charm.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imablackhat:
Works good this way with or without root. Just installed.opened.enabled the notification access. And use. Doesn't need enabled in accessibility.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato Bluesummers:
In my S3 they had to be disabled in stock settings to work. In this they need to be enabled in stock settings for it to work. I know lightflow told me to disable it in stock settings on the S3.

I know that this is a good thing, but I was just wondering if some of the people that actually know about tmobile can give me an official reason. Thanks.

If you look at the plans they offer, you will see that the 2.5G data plan says quite clearly that.

It gives you nation wide UNLIMITED NO THROTTLING 4g LTE,

Plus,

2.5G smhs...(Smart Phone mobile hot spot) ...so you will be throttled down to 3g speeds once you Tether more then 2.5G.

Now, I don't know if the THROTTLING would be in effect for all data usage once it is started, or only tethering.

Also they do offer a truly unlimited data for 20 more a month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
no, no, no. that's Unlimited for 70$ which gives you 2.5GB of tethering.

he has 2.5GB of high speed data which is 10$ less than the Unlimited plan that also gives you 2.5GB of tethering.
