Return to stock - OS X - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello.
I need to return to my GS4 to stock so I can activate the phone (I need to program MDN and MSID, the dialer codes don't work in CM12)
Here's the issue tho, I need to do this from OS X (No I don't have access to Windows and therefore Odin, no I can't BootCamp into Win). I've downloaded the stock/factory image but I don't know how to flash it, either with hiemdall or through adb or TWRP. Help?

Just flash a stock ROM, you don't have to Odin full stock recovery and ROM.
Try Wicked X, it's fantastic

Thanks. This allowed me to use the programming codes and edit MSID and MDN. All I did was download the ROM and flash it using TWRP. Many thanks.

Just for future reference there is an Apple compatible Odin program called Jodin.

It looks like you tried to flash a phone.apk or a dialer app that isn't stock. You didn't say what phone version you have (your signature mentions GT-I9505?) This forum is for the I337 variants. My suggestion would be to try and find the same version of firmware / ROM that you are currently using and see if you can get the correct phone.apk or dialer apk out of it and try to restore that way. Depending on you phone model and firmware, you might be able to restore with a nandroid (if you have one). If your bootloader is locked you might need to restore via ODIN and the proper firmware. Most thing you do will run the risk of wiping your data and contacts so back everything up first before you try anything to be on the safe side. If you don't understand the things I mentioned or if you don't know where to find something I suggest you use the forum's search function to find the information and tools you need. Good luck.

see two symbols of battery, you were trying or tried to do for that to happen, and if you can tell the model of your phone, greetings

How did you root that???
Provide detail file that u use for rooted and which recovery u install
As far as I know error 8200 is because of old version of SP Flash tool, download latest version of SP flash tool from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5f5h3owa7s7y6g2/SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1352.01.zip
REMEMBER I DON'T HAVE THIS PHONE SO I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PHONE, I KNOW ABOUT CANVAS HD ONLY AND I USED SP FLASH TOOL NUMBER OF TIME ON CANVAS HD ONLY.

Fairly certain that my device is unlocked ... if anyone can explain how I can check, I will?
Download the rom you want and flash it via Odin.

Is that the only way? I'm on a Mac, and Odin never seems to work for me ...
Perhaps I just need to wait for the OTA

Still just having no luck getting JOdin to work on a mac... Java runtime messages, yada yada.
Is it possible to flash the firmware using the Heimdall front end, or command line? I've downloaded firmware G900FXXU1BOA3_G900FOXA1BOA4_BTU.zip
jOdin apparently doesnt work on some versions of OSX because you need a certain version of java. As for heimdall the github has a few pulls that people have reported work, so you can give that a shot, just check the issues section.

Are you able to put the phone in download mode (vol- + Home +Power)?, If you do download ROM from any of the sources around and using Odin install the ROM. Do not checked the re-partition box in options. If you're not comfortable doing this or not sure do some reading on installing firmware using Odin.

Is it possible to unbrick the Note 4 SM-N910F variant?

I have with my a Note 4 variant (SM-N910F) which got bricked after trying to flash a custom rom. Is it possible to return to stock rom or do I have with me just an expensive rock?
Here's a screenshot of what is displayed when the device is powered on:

Yes. Use Odin to flah a stock rom, or better, to flash a recovery. From the recovery you do what yiu want

Thanks for the prompt response. Never used Odin or a flashed a Samsung phone before
If flashing the single stock tar doesnt work, try using "samfirm" to download the latest rom in binary format so that you can repartition the phone with odin.
Just download the file and extract it to get 3-4 seperate tar files.
Select the files according to the tabs in odin (compare the prefixes of the files with the file selection tabs of odin).
This must do the job.
