U cannot get back erased applications until u hv a backup. U may restore them from google account in case u opted in option to keep backup there during setting up of ur phone.
For recovery u can download the recovery of ur choice if u want & flash it via odin.
If u want to be on stock just flash stock firmware or wanam stock rom & u would b back to stock.

Back to stock from custom ROM and Recovery?

I'm running a custom 4.2.2 GE ROM and want to return to my stock ROM. Currently my device has CWM as the recovery and is rooted. Am I able to just flash my stock ROM through odin? Should I use triangle away first, also do I need to install stock recovery? I have read the unroot guide and I understand how to flash just need to know the answers to these questions before I flash. Thank you in advance.

thanks for the quick reply, so i install the stock recovery (where do i get that from?) with odin. then boot back into my GE rom use TA to reset the counter, then install stock firmware with odin. So its ok to install stock recovery over custom rom?

That TW recovery will be there but i m not vry sure that u can use the same on the Ge version rom thats the reason i told u to get back to stock and then work for TA etc for safety of ur device
Thanks for your quick replies, downloading my stock firmware now. Will post how it all goes.
Run Triangle away, clear the counter, go directly to download mode from there. Flash stock rom with odin (it includes everything including recovery rom modem kernel).
After it is done, go into recovery with the 3 button combo (this time you will see the standard stock recovery, do a factory reset there and you are set). Just remember, doing a factory reset in stock recovery also formats the internal sdcard (the internal phone storage), so be sure to have a backup of any files photos or whatever you have there because you will lose them.
Worked perfectly thank you both for your help.

it isn't possible to get back to stock recovery by just flashing a stock recover zip? Is flashing the complete stock rom the only way?

Do u have CUSTOM Recovery installed? Ur phone is unbranded? Are u downloading the correct firmware for ur phone? Are u flashing it good with Odin? Ur S4 is a i9500 or i9505/6/7/8? Give us + info pls
yes just give us a few details.
did you also a full wipe done before you flashed the rom ?
this is very important because otherwise you do not have a clean system and so it is normal that the phone will not boot and you stay stuck in bootloop
AFAIK (never tested) Google Edition uses different bootloader, so you shall flash complete set, including that part as well...
All is working i don't wipe data and cache with cwm , when i wipe all he turned on thanks for help

If you don't know what you are doing my advice would be to
go to http://SamMobile.com and download the official kitkat
4.4.2 SM-900 firmware and flash it using Odin.
Be sure to do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik
and last but not least a factory reset in twrp or cwm recovery
before you start the odin flash.
You will need to re-root your phone afterwards and install twrp
or cwm recovery. This is the surest way to resolve your network
and other issues.
This will give you a fresh clean start.
This will solve it.
Do you have twrp or cwm backup.
if not reflash VN rom 14.1 and you should get it back. secondly you can flash the modem attached.
1. wipe the device including internal memory in the twrp memory. put the phone in download mode. flash the modem via cwm rcovery
2. go back to recovery do just a factory reset.
3 now get any 4.4.2 stock rom for your region from sammobile and flash it using odin.
when the phone is rebooting and you see the Samsung logo pull the battery. put the battery back, go back to recovery do a factory reset. then let the boot complete.
it should be fine.
if it help don't forget to press thanks

sorry didn't understand you I was answering the op.
if you flashed vn rom earlier you should just do it again. just make sure you do a factory reset , and dalvik wipe.
If you need further help just look in the vn-rom thread for flashing procedure. anyway

- you should be on kitkat stock rom.. the recommended firmware is NH6 and NK1 base
- root your phone
- then install recovery like cwm 6.0.5.1 or philz 6.49.0. you can find it on grand 2 thread easily
- after that install S6 styled S5 port. before install. make sure youdo this :
1. wipe data,cache, and dalvik. wipe dalvik can be find in advanced option
2. format system and boot in mount and storage option
3. then flash the rom
4. then aroma installer should be begin. there 2 option here
- wipe external sd card : this will wipe all your external sd card
- no wipe
if you dont want your data in ext gone.. dont choose wipe ext sd card !
instead use no wipe
5. oh yeah after that flash deds kernel v2.0 in kernel section of grand 2 thread. if you already download it. just flash it..
the reason flash deds kernel because it will fix the wifi and xposed installer issue
- and its finished. just reboot your phone now.. wait 5 minute and yay.. :laugh:
if i help. please hit thanks button okay

hmm maybe you should do this
- flash stock rom nk1 again and root it again
- after root your phone, reboot .and you will see supersu app. open it.then you will see knox bootloader. choose disable bootloader. then now it update binary from supersu. choose normal .dont use twrp/cwm option. reboot again. and now download busybox in play store. after that install the busybox
- then flash recovery.. and then see the instruction of flashing rom in my previous post
note : dont flash deds kernel v2.3e... it will brick your phone... flash deds kernel v2.0
please tell me if it works or not
I opened superu after reboot by it is showing nth in hw to disable bootloader

What rom were you on? If you were on stock you may as well install the origanal and when google asks you to sign in restore everything ! If you do do the way your going to make sure you back up the 6.0.1 to. Good luck

CM13 uses Lollipop bootloader and you are trying to restore a 6.0.1 rom which is using Marshmallow bootloader, thats why you are getting green samsung logo.
You have to flash stock rom 6.0.1 to be able to restore that 6.0.1 backup.
