Flashing Stock Rom?

[Littleodd8]

My phone's user interface is messed up. Usable, but barely. I have flash gordon if needed for fix ;
Regardless, I wanted to reinstall the stock rom and erase EVERYTHING. I've seen a few threads on a stock flash with odin to Mf1, And I'd do it if I could figure out how. I don't have international and yes, this is for s4 active. Can anyone help me please?
I had to make a new account by the way because I forgot my password.

Sounds like you should probably not be messing with your phone. Unfortunately, we do not have an easy way to flash any ROM including stock on the S4A thanks to a locked bootloader. Have you tried to do a factory reset? That's about the only thing you can do that might at least get you back to square 1.

i9295 ok

Unfortunately, we do not have an easy way to flash any ROM including stock on the S4A thanks to a locked bootloader.

G4A international version (GT-i9295) has unlocked bootloader afaik.
I've sucessfully re-flashed original rom with odin. Had to do it to claim warranty, cause have no sound during phone calls (not related to water damage).

Now I cannot find the PIT partition file for my life for s4a.. Someone please help

Un-check "Re-Partition" in Odin's Options section and then flash.

G4A international version (GT-i9295) has unlocked bootloader afaik.

Unfortunately, he did not identify exactly what phone he has beyond the S4A. Lack of attention to detail is probably what got him into this predicament.

I have the same phone, GT-i9295 SGS4A (int'l), and I'm trying to install CWM recovery, as described here, but I get the same error "There is no PIT partition". I have not selected the Re-Partition checkbox. I got the same result with Odin3 v3.07 and v3.09.

I'm not sure exactly what this "PIT partition" is, but I wonder why somebody seems to be able to download firmware, and someone is not. And as the OP asked, is it possible to get a hold of this .PIT file and make this work?

EDIT: SOLVED!
Using a different USB port on the PC solved the problem!

Back to stock?

Hey all, I'm still kinda new here and I was wondering if you can help me...

I bought an unlocked i9295 on eBay and I got tired of TW so I rooted it and installed the Cyanogenmod 10.2 unofficial rom on it.

I loved it at first but I started finding a few bugs until it made me want to go back to stock.

I tried going back to factory settings using KIES but it won't recognize my phone, I'm thinking about flashing stock rom using Odin but I can't find the stock ROM for my phone.

I found a few sites on google with download links but they're all sloooow freehosts, does anyone know how I can get KIES to recognize my phone or if there's a better way to download the stock rom (ie Samsung)?

Thanks!

This might not work for you, my phone is different, but it's easy to try. When I had problems getting windows to see my phone, I found that if I un-checked usb debugging, my phone was recognized. Not the way it's supposed to work, but it did.
