Hi,

I'm new to these things. Please help. :(

I have partial problems with my phone's speaker. I want to try can it be fixed via System Update.

Speaker problem is kinda mind-bending. Not sure when it occurs.
Speaker seems to work fine when calling someone near. When calling from over ~10 kilometers, speaker distorts the incoming sound. Works fine with loud speaker, which kind of takes the problem out of being problem of my service provider.

I'm quite possibly going to take my phone to the warranty service. That's why I want to have the "Device status: Official", not "Custom".

My friend rooted and installed a custom ROM, which I didn't like. I made him uninstall the ROM but the root stayed. (Late 2013)
Now comes the part I think I f***ed up.

Started watching videos about urooting, unbricking and such. Now what I have accomplished is that I've pressed "unroot" in SuperSU and uninstalled it.
Soon to notice that I should've used some program to clear the Device status. :eek:
Not sure what Flashing Android means and when its done, but there is counter which should be put to zero?
Those two things are done in programs which require rooting? So what do I do now?
Installing SuperSU gives me error binary not installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. Someone in fixed this with restarting device in Recovery mode with QuickBoot program which, again, needed the device to be rooted already.

I want to have my System Update done by the "right" way, from "About device" -> "Update". Now it gives me "Your device has been modified."

Please redirect and guide me!

I have S4 active GT-I9295, android version 4.2.2. Ask about baseband, kernel versions/other statuses if you need those informations!

Thank you SO much for your time and help beforehand! :good:

ps. 2 year warranty is till 28.9.15

Make backup of your images, videos and data by copy to ext SD or use Helium from Play Store .

Install =flash 5.0.1 Samsung GT-I9295 firmware best match for your region using PC Odin 3.09 /3.10. The complete firmware *. TAR.MD5 is placed in Odin AP field, no need for other files in the other Odin file fields.

Factory reset after successful flash.

Will set all to stock with latest firmware.
