Splendid! Knowing that your BL state is unlocked, this will make the whole process A LOT easier!

Please go to the above link to get TWRP. Also, please keep in mind that TWRP is now the only still supported recovery around. CWM and PhilZ are both really outdated and no longer maintained due to the introduction of Cyanogen Recovery which is very minimal in features.

Once you get yourself the download, extract the files from the zip and get the twrp.img file. We will need this to flash into the boot partition of Xperia SP, granting you a direct boot into recovery once it is flashed. Please then copy the original zip to your sd card, as we will be flashing the original zip via TWRP later to give you access to TWRP in the future.

Using your preferred tool, flash the twrp.img file into the boot partition.

Connect your Xperia SP via fastboot. Make sure SP is shut down, hold volume up key and connect the SP with your computer.

If you're using a fastboot tool via command prompt, the command would be

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

If you're using flashtool, hit the lightning icon in the toolbar, select fastboot mode. Then select "Select kernel to flash". Make sure the file type is "img" else you won't able to find your TWRP img file. Navigate to mentioned img file and select it.

Afterwards, when flashing complete, you may insert sdcard and start the device. It will boot directly into TWRP as we flashed a recovery to the boot partition.

Clean wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system. You may leave internal storage.

Flash the ROM zip you acquired (make sure file integrity is checked beforehand!) then the TWRP zip earlier. Flashing the TWRP zip grants you a persisting recovery, as explained in the linked thread.

You may now reboot and enjoy :)

Today at noon UK time I received my TyTN II. Oh wait, let's rephrase that. I was so impatient that I went and picked it up from the local DHL facility ;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserchief:
I had an e-mail from the courier yesterday to say that they'd be delivering mine today. Unfortunately I'm in meetings all day, so there was no way I could be at home to take delivery.

Took all my effort to change the delivery date to tomorrow, so now I'm going to be 24 hours behind everyone else :-(

IS this the latest firmware? I bricked my phone trying to install a modem and I"m trying to get a usable phone again..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Yes OK3 is the latest firmware per T-Mobile site.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] reilus:
You're a lifesaver. I had tons of problems with my phone and it kept failing flashes over and over again but I finally got it working with this firmware and now I'll have to see if I can root! Thank you so much! =)

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

How do I root this firmware? I finally got past a boot issue...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
You will need to flash TWRP first and then supersu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TGSKK:
Is the bootloader the same as the previous one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkain2K:
Hmm....it looks like Xposed no longer works with this update. This is the error when you try to install it:

Update: The Xposed_v2.6.1_by_SolarWarez_20151129.apk variant works with this release! Search for it on Google if the stock versions wouldn't run on your phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgp53:
Can anyone else confirm? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pvsgh:
Use the old Xposed Installer v2.6.1 with TW 4.4.4, and you can directly install the xposed framework within the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] technut:
Just a heads-up for anyone having trouble flashing any of these. I tried several times and re-downloaded the modem and the full firmware. They failed multiple times in multiple versions of odin(for me). I gave up on the modem but kept working on the full and it finally took but I was stuck at t-mo boot screen more than once and it wouldn't fully boot. Finally I flashed the newest twrp before taking any other measures and it finally booted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
In case it gets stuck at T-Mobile boot screen after successful firmware flash, just hold the power button till your device turns off,

Then go into stock recovery by using power+home+volume up button and do a factory reset.

It should boot fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] technut:
Thanks for the reply. I forgot to list that I did that also. For me at least this S4 was very stubborn to take on this flash. I was mostly posting so if anyone else ran into this so they wouldn't panic. All is well now though. It came around eventually.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timg11:
I searched this out because I'm looking for a Stagefright fix for the S4 (my wife's phone). It looks like the other ROMs were last updated prior to Stagefright, so I expect they are not fixed. However, I'm OK with stock as long as it is rooted.

Are there any issues with rooting? I read in this article that T-Mobile put a SetUID restriction on the kernel and the normal process for TWRP and SuperSU doesn't work.

The author was writing about the UVUAMDL firmware, and offers a link to download a patched MDL kernel with the restriction removed.

Since this thread is about the UVUFOK3 (a later version), it seems likely that the SetUID restriction still exists. However the article also says "MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON UVUAMDL build OTHERWISE THIS KERNEL WILL BREAK THINGS IN YOUR PHONE!" So does that mean "UVUAMDL only - nothing newer or later" or "UVUAMDL or later"? No way to know since the article has not been updated since UVUAMDL.

Has any one successfully rooted the S4 after installing this firmware? (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB)

Is the kernel provided in M919UVUFOK3_Stock_Kernel.zip already "fixed" to remove the root restriction?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
I don't know about the restriction you talking about but I have successfully flashed a custom ROM on latest OK3 firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pvsgh:
Nothing is modified as it is a stock package, stock kernel is only required if you flash some custom kernel and wanted to go back to stock by just installing the kernel instead of full ODIN.

This is what I always use to root:

1) Install latest TWRP via ODIN

2) Boot into recovery

3) Flash latest SuperSU zip using TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timg11:
So it should be a fairly straightforward process? The issues technut experienced are unusual? Has anyone else installed and rooted using this ROM? Please report on how it went.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

a103, when you say "flashed a custom ROM", do you mean a different ROM than the one in the OP of this thread? (since this one isn't really custom) If a different ROM, which did you flash? I didn't find many options that contained the OK3 firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timg11:
The phone currently is running Wicked V8 custom ROM, so I think I need to flash everything. What are the steps for updating all three; firmware, kernel, and modem? Is there a particular order to flash them in Odin?

I read in another place that the firmware contains the Modem so I wouldn't need to flash the modem in addition to the full firmware (M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB.zip). Is that true in this case? Does it include both modem and kernel?

Edit - After searching out how to open tar.md5 files I can now see that the full firmware does include the kernel and modem files. So installing that one should sufficient to update everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Just flash the firmware, it has the kernel and modem in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timg11:
a103, did you have any of the problems reported by technut above? Was it a smooth process of flashing?

Here's what I think has been said:

0) Before starting - copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip, Titanium Backup APK, and Titanium Backup data onto ExtSD card.

1) start phone into download mode, Use ODIN to flash M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_M919UVUFOK3_HOME.tar.md5

2) restart into stock, let it stabilize.

If any problems or stuck on Tmo screen, restart into stock recovery and do factory reset

3) once booted into stock FW, power off.

4) restart into download mode, use Odin to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jfltetmo.tar

5) boot into TWRP

6) install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

7) reboot into Android - phone is now rooted again and ready to go.

8) restore user apps (not system apps or data) from TiBu, restore TiBu XML data for SMS and call logs, etc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgp53:
Is your modem not working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] smilingcruel:
Am on old baseband/modem OH3...want to update to OK3 which T-Mobile released this month....it contains several updates related to performance and its always better to have latest baseband...

So how can I just flash modem???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgp53:
Pretty sure the updates are related to the system, not the modem.

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5887

Most of the conversation here seems to be among folks that use rooted stock. In that case it's, Odin the release, Odin cw autoroot and Odin recovery. Data stays basically untouched. 30-45 minute process.

Being your on CM, doesn't seem there wouldn't be much benefit, as your system/base is not TW.

Sorry, can't answer your original question. Search some more, you'll find your answer. Good luck

Ok...Per the doc "Beginning December 14, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will have a optional software update to Android version 4.4.4/

I am not new to rooting but last time I rooted was a few years ago. I just softbricked my SGH-M919 (T-Mobile S4 Android 4.4.4) after I tried to Apply an update that Kies prompted me. I am not sure what Kernel I have but I know I had applied all the updates (Whatever was till last October). My Knox is set to 1 (due to prior rooting attempt). I do not care about Warranty. Just want to get the phone working again with Stock Rom (or Stock Rooted ROM). Can you guys please point me to the right Page? does the instruction on this Post apply in my case? Many thanks in advance for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gd2246:
I can confirm for you that the firmware in the OP is the latest for the m919. I just bought a used one for my son on Christmas & OK3 was what T-Mobile updated it to after activation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nashmarkt:
I read the whole thread but I am not sure if I get the instructions right. Do I just have to use the "Full Firmware" file. I am not sure what to do with the other 3 files.

thanks

Full Firmware

Stock Kernel : Flash via Recovery

Stock Recovery: Flash via Recovery, only needed if you want to go back to stock recovery

Modem : ODIN Flashable
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gd2246:
The full firmware contains the other 3 files. They are there separately in case you just need the modem or the kernel or something, but you said you wanted to go beck to full stock so that is the only one you'll need to flash. It will not give you root though, for that you must flash twrp & supersu afterwards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] smilingcruel:
I have the modem. Bin files.... And am on CM12.1.... Odin always fails when I try to flash there modem files.... It stuck at nand write and after few minutes it says failed.... I tried different Odin versions different cables different ports etc etc....

Do I need to go back to stock to flash the baseband/modem files? Or can I just flash while am on CM??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
You should be able to flash while you're on CM. You'll need to figure out why it fails, else flash the full firmware, root again and flash CM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nashmarkt:
Thank you. I was successful and I even have all my data and settings. Nothing was erased from my phone. This community rocks. Also thanks to OP for great help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darazor:
Just to confirm we are on the same page you want JUST the modem

.bin file NOT the whole modem file that you download. Extract the two files(I used 7zip) from the modem tar file download but you are just going to use the modem.bin portion. I used Odin 3.10.7 and no you don't need to go back to flash just the modem.bin to update to OK3 modem. If you try to flash the whole file that you download it will fail because it contains a file for lte that is tied to the bootloader. Place the modem.bin file in the CP area of Odin and tick box for CP, untick all options for auto reboot etc. after flash disconnect from computer, remove battery then replace and restart. You should have the OK3 modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nashmarkt:
Now that I got my phone working again, I want to root and try out Lillipop rom.

Don't I need to be rooted first to use twrp and supersu? When I looked at twrp manger in Play store it says it needs Root permission.

thanks

I flashed the OH3 firmware and I was having wifi issues. I got a message indicating that my phone is in factory mode and my wifi shut off, but I was able to turn it on again. Unfortunately, I lost wifi connection after a day or so. I did some research and I think it might have something to do with my efs partition, which I had accidentally formatted when I wiped my phone. Stupid me didn't back it up.

Anyway, I did a full wipe and flashed the OK3 firmware, TWRP, superSU, and triangle away. Once again, I got the factory mode message but I was able to activate wifi afterwards. I will let you know how things go after a few days.

You had to put put the phone in download mode using proper way.

press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down

If you use any other method to put the phone into download mode you won't get updated bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Use the buttons, don't use the restart menu to get into download mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arkain2K:
1) Remove battery cover.

2) Flash stock ROM, wait for it to finish.

3) Pull the battery as soon as the phone starting to reboot, BEFORE Android starts.

4) Flash stock ROM again.

All the neccessary system files (including those previously in-use) will now be updated.
