[Q] Little help with my S4 please!

[emcardle660]

So i have a rooted galaxy S4, it also has a flashed rom on it (its an s4 rom but was manually flashed due to a few problems)

So I was wondering, is there any way for me to unroot my phone, but also reset everything else (I mean the flashed rom etc back to normal..., and just have my S4 like I just bought it?)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

in order to reflash the original rom you had, you need to have some former-flash informations:

-Android version you had before the flash
-Country of origin of the rom (not really important but if you want it really as you had it from factory you need this information)


Now what you need to do is to activate usb debugging from parameters : (Plus -> about device -> tap 8 times on baseband version, it will tell you that developper mod is activated, back to menu, tap developper options, tick usb debugging)

You need to download Odin 3.07 or whatever (i advice you use this one.)

and download the firmware you exactly want from sammobile (Warning, choose the exact model device you have)


then you need to factory reset your phone (via recovery)

now shut down your phone, put it on download mod (down volume + home button + power button)

press up, open odin on your computer then plug your phone to the computer. wait until your phone is detected in odin (a blue com will appear on odin). if your phone is not recognized, install usb drivers (google it) and turn off kies.

now extract the firmware you downloaded from sammobile, you will have a .tar.md5 file, click on pda, (or ap if newer odin version), then choose the file (it will take a long time to charge, if you don't want to wait, you can rename the .tar.md5 file to just .tar)

Click start and wait until "pass!" appears on odin.

That is all.

Downloaded the correct ROM of sammobile. Can't try at the moment in school right now!

But thanks for the great reply, I'll do it when I get home and let you know how it goes
