Maybe Im confused, but why does the Pre-Rooted version have SU installed? I need a fully stock unmodified version and this doesnt seem to be that. I dont need to be rooted. Do you have the stock ODIN tar for this?

Then go to the other thread that has the OTA, place on external SD, boot into stock recovery and press Apply update.zip from external SD. Done. You don't know what you're missing.

Hi all before i flashed just wanted to clarify some issues and ask some questions. First is it best just to wait to make sure everything is working 100%, I really like the way my S4 is now and am very dependent on it. In the past i would just flash with twrp stock roms, kernels, modems etc. sometimes used odin for some flashing. second question is, Can i just flash the rom with twrp, kernel and modems are tar files so i'll have to use odin.. is everything working, wifi, hotspot, etc? or will i have to follow some fixes as i've read?

i'm coming from stock ng2 4.4.2 with ktoonzes kernel. hopefully he will make a kernel to run on this and that'll be great! thanks for reading my ramblings and answers you may have answered for me.

Possible to make a complete firmware, bootloader and modem only (no stock recovery) flashable?
this would be ideal and would wait for this to come..

I have managed to get the msl by downgrading to Kitkat will the MSL remain same in 5.0?and where to go after going to edit menu in order to run the phine on 2g only?
Yes, it will always be the same, save it to your contacts so you never need to look it up again. I don't remember, it's called Network Mode or something like that. Make a nandroid backup beforehand in case you screw something up. 75% of what I do is trial and error, you should expect the same as a user, make a backup before flashing or modding anything EVERY TIME and you will always have something to restore to. I've never bricked a phone and I've been doing this for almost 9 years.

Everything's working for me, had to use Galaxy Tools for Hotspot but that's it. Running fantastically. Plus I made a More Toggles and Volume Boost mod, so now I am really digging it.

I downloaded you mods haven't tried them yet but I also am VERY HAPPY how it works and used the same solution for hot spot and works great but I got the extra toggles with that galaxy tools. Does your toggle mod do anything the the tools doesn't?

Yeah, it doesn't give you a bunch of useless ones that don't work. I also included some csc tweaks like Shutter Sound On/Off in Camera options.

Ok I gotta say it and I am not being a jerk here, or at least that is not my intent, so try not to take it that way :angel: But you answered your own question... it has SU installed because it is "Pre-Rooted" :D

But all good, since I see @bilgerryan has already pointed you in the right direction. :good:

Depending on how you look at it. The title of that thread says 100% stock, so by pre-rooted and having a separate ODIN section I thought maybe it could have meant before-rooted, ie unrooted and/or 100% stock. :cyclops:

All is good now though :good:

well i'm going to back up all data that i need and try to just flash the rom, modem, and kernel. I never did a data wipe on any of my rom or kernel flashes in the past. so hopefully all will go well tonight.

Be advised it took like what seemed forever to get past the boot. It's kinda scary but it worked great in the end
