Hey
I have a Galaxy S4-19500. It has the official 4.3 android stock ROM installed. I have tried to flash a stock kernel onto the phone but nothing changes.
How can I get this to stock before I sell it tomorrow?
Also is there anyway to get rid of binary count im on stock unrooted but still getting 1 warranty bit

Your help is deeply appreciated.

Nothing wrong here.
I don't see anything wrong with this. If you haven't tried rooting this before with 4.2.3 then flashed the new 4.3 Firmware manually, you'll be just fine.

Why don't you just flash a new stock rom and start afresh. As for the warrant bit, i don't think you can reset it sorry.
RULE 5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer. (Also refer to Rule 16)
RULE 16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours.
I only made two threads as one wasn't posted as a question, I tried to delete the other then realized I couldn't.
I needed help urgently i'm sorry if this caused any trouble. I just want the phone to be stock so I can sell it today with no problems.
I already flashed a stock ROM and it won't get rid of that kernel.
As for the bumping , I didn't read the rule and now I have I won't do it again.
So is the kernal i have at the moment stock? Because I remember getting it from Rom Switcher. Im not going to root the phone again.
Then why does it say installed OCT 14? Is that not a custom kernel?
I have recently purchased a galaxy s4 from tmobile. It came with Android 4.3 and is the m919 model. I was trying to make a back up before putting cynagenmod on my phone and somehow jacked up my firmware . Now It won't boot and just goes to the screen saying the firmware has been corrupted. I was looking for the stock os to put back on it before I try again. I have nothing on the phone and don't care as long as I can get it back up and running. I tried to download what I think is the stock rom from samsung updates but only the rapidgator is available and that said 16 hours when I started it yesterday at 7. Now its 6 the next day and still says 14 hours. Anyone have any advice or a link to the stock rom? I don't even care about the stock as I just want to put cynagenmod on it. Can I do that without putting the stock on? Thanks for any and all help.
I posted this in the wrong forum can someone move it? I'm really sorry I have been reading on so many different tabs and went to add a thread in the wrong tab.
Ready to sell this phone... tried everything I know how to try... Dev Edition Verizon S5, CAN'T UPGRADE from stock NCG. The most I can do it root... any ROM I flash is nonfunctional on Verizon's network with NO SIGNAL. Replaced SIM, flashed modems, etc etc... I think I'm just not sure how to do it with a dev edition... seriously feel like I'm missing a step. Would like to start from scratch. Does anyone have a stock image of a G900V Dev Edition I could work from, since I'm starting to think the one I've been working from is somehow the incorrect version. Thanks!

I would but I'm trying to avoid locking the bootloader, if possible. Didn't intend on having a developer device, but now that I do, I'd like to try to maintain it's use as one. Bought this phone on swappa, seller didn't give any indication that it was a developer device. Now I'm concerned he did something to it prior to selling that is causing me difficulties. I don't think I should be having these network difficulties, but there could very well be something I'm supposed to be doing with the modem that I'm just unaware of. I figure if I can get back to the way this phone was when it was new (when the original seller bought it) I'd at least have a clean slate to work with.

I don't think so, but thanks... I think that's the same device firmware that the retail version comes with, which will lock my bootloader. I've actually considered just flashing it anyway and saying the hell with an unlocked bootloader, since I didn't really intend to have one to begin with and apparently there's nothing I can do with it, anyway (none of the unified builds work on my device, anyway) but this is a last-ditch effort to preserve it if i can, and I'm hoping some dev will be willing to help me diagnose my problem.

It's not like there's a ton of development going on for Dev edition. I'm loving the retail version of the phone just rooted and running some Xposed. Like it so much, I went out and got one for the wife too and I paid full retail for both to keep my old unlimited data plan. Hers I just left out of the box stock. Will be interested to see how Lolipop looks when it drops to her phone. Sure hope we keep root with Lolipop, I use the heck out of my hotspot, to the tune of about 70gb/mo ...

I'm far from a developer, but this may help. I also bought the phone without realizing what it was I was getting into and had similar problems flashing the Optimal rom on my dev edition s5. I could flash but phone would hang on the activation screen with no signal. I eventually succeeded. As near as I can recall this is what I did:
I dirty flashed Beantown 4.4.4 rom (twrp) over my 4.4.2 stock firmware. then flashed n12 firmware (included stock kernel, and modem) from dev edition make an update .tar thread (odin) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56604757&postcount=2). I did a factory reset after flashing. Switched to art. Flashed optimal with clean reset, but did not flash kernel. Later flashed koontsez 4.4.4 kernel. Still running Optimal
Good luck.

Had marginal success using this method... Have been able to maintain a 3G signal, but no LTE after first boot. Rather, when I first booted, I had LTE and thought I was good, but since my first reboot, I can only get 3G and nothing I do can get it back so far.

This happened after I flashed the update.tar (with aboot.mbn removed) and I have note gotten LTE back. Is there something I can do with my aboot.bak that I'm missing?
So I posted a thread the other day to try and find help with my S5 I just got, yet no avail. So I'm here again, trying a new one to see if it gets me anywhere. The problem is this, I believe my phone is un-able to revert to Kitkat, because Kitkat was never on it in the first place. It came stock, out of the box with Lollipop. So I'm looking for anyway to get it to Kitkat, even if I have to brick the darn thing by removing the bootloader and everything on the phone to load in stock kitkat. So any advice or questions would be so very helpful. I'm going crazy trying to find a solution! Please help!
Hello guys, I had my phone rooted a while ago (HTC ONE M8, international version or say INDIAN version) and was running on custom roms. Then came the Marshmallow update so I unrooted and all no RUU was available for Android M so I flashed Android L and updated OTA. And then again i had so many apps and god knows what and I wanted a fresh slate as everything was slowing it down very much and somehow I flashed the zip file using the sdcard method. And now the system is taking a good 7-8 GB of the internal 16GB. Right now the phone is RELOCKED, STOCK RECOVERY, UNROOTED. Just think of it as in a default condition. Now I have "0P6BIMG_M8_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_India_6.15. 720.2_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_F_re lease_469495_signed" This RUU.zip. I WANT TO WIPE EVERYTHING PREVIOUSLY ON THE PHONE, LITERALLY EVERYTHING, AND THEN INSTALL THIS RUU SO THAT IT USES THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE SYSTEM SPACE. How to do that? I do not need a detailed guide just give me the step-wise information as in flash TWRP first then do this, then do that, you know what I am saying. Please help me out here it would be a lot of help, I can not see this great a device lagging doing the normal stuff. THANK YOU :fingers-crossed:
Stick to one thread, and please stop posting the same thing over and over (you've now copy/pasted the exact same post 3 times). I've provided some guidance in to the other thread you posted in.
"General" is also not the right place to ask for this kind of help.
