Factory Reset 4.3

RanbirS · Dec 5, 2013

I changed my mind. How would I hard reset on my android galaxy s4?

I updated my phone to 4.3 while ago, has lot of issues. So I did the custom rom thing/root and such.
How would I factory reset my phone? Odin doesn't seem to work for me. I can't find reliable 4.3 stock firmware on the internet.

Thanks

What do you mean by factory reset?

It sounds like you want to revert it back to the original state it was in when you bought, which if you've done an update to 4.3 is not a simple factory reset.

Fro stock ROMs you want to look on sammobile.com

The most reliable stock Odin flash Official M919 4.2.2 Galaxy S4 firmware
can be found and downloaded from http://SamMobile.com

You will need to create an account on sammobile to be able to download.
Takes only a minute and it's FREE !!!

Odin works for everyone, if it's not working for you it's due to user error.
You can even download Mobile Odin from the playstore and use that,

Good luck!

Teco is a slow download site...

Other than that, how would i restore it? Like a new phone.

I got it to restore! I use Kies instead. Now, how do I reset the Knox Warranty void?

Thanks

Does Jovy's rom not work for you?
His has been good so far for me.

You cannot reset the KNOX (at least not yet).

Perhaps at a future date the devs will find a way to do it.

Good luck!

Also, is it possible to root on 4.3?

EDIT:
Okay, I rooted it and installed Custom Recovery. Now, how do I remove the, "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Set Warranty Bit: kernel"

Thanks.

Here is the direct download link: http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/sgs4/TW/KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW-TMO-11.14.2013.zip

OP, I tried to use Kies to restore my phone back to factory 4.3 but could not get any of the options under tools to work. What steps did you use?

Boot your Android to 'Download Mode' (Turn off the device. Then Hold Power, Home, and Volume Down button at once. When you feel vibrate, let go the power button, but keep holding home and volume down button. Then you will get the screen, then select volume up).

Then go to Kies, Under Tools, select the second option (I think it's upgrade, below the emgernecy recovery something).
Then enter your Model Name: (Don't know? Find it by taking off your battery and you will see the information. My model is SGH-M919). Then enter your serial number (same place again). Then follow the steps.

Then it should take you 30 minutes. Then boom, you are done. You are on fresh 4.3.
