Official MF9 tar is up~! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

You can download the official Sprint Galaxy S4 MF9 update tar files here~!! :good::laugh:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720

Here as well.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SPH-L720&pcode=0#firmware

I haven't finished downloading yet or unzipping to see if the file is correct but the zipped file size sends a bit small for an official ROM. Also, they package the kernel separately? That's weird.

Has anyone used these?
Flash the SPR-L720VPUAMF9-20130626162512.zip via TWRP ?
Then the KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUAMF9-1372121308.tar is flashed via Odin?

I used it myself and it worked very well. For me, a fresh MF9 flash via PC Odin was more stable and smoother than doing the MDL to MF9 update.
If you flash the full MF9 tar, you don't need to go back and flash the kernel tar.

Thank you!
I am on MDL w/ many mods.
I guess I am gonna have to go this route, although, phone is working as I like.
But, I guess I have to continue to move forward?
Sigh, I also will guess after doing this will wipe out everything, and I have to start all over.
Definitely gonna perform a fullbackup first, and then remove my ext. sdram.

Does one lose root and custom recovery if flashed either via odin or via cwm/twrp?
I should say, can i still flash supersu if i flash this file or do i have to reroot/unlock my phone again?

Yes, you'll lose root and custom recovery. After flashing this, use Odin again to flash a custom recovery then flash SuperSU within custom recovery to gain back root.

Is it possible for someone to make a NOData version. (Got kind of spoiled from the E4GT)

It's pretty simple. First, backup all your data and media then perform a factory reset from the phone's Setting menu.
Shut the phone down and enter the stock recovery mode. Open Odin on your laptop or desktop, connect your phone, select the tar file, and flash your phone. You'll be back to 100% stock.

I am not very good with the S4 since it is my friends phone I have a note 2. If I flash the full MF9 via odin then all I have to do is CF auto root again and my friend it rooted again?
If I use ODIN do I have to edit ODIN to show phone bootloader update checked before I flash the MF9 tar?
Anyone have a suggestion on how to rooted back once the update to MF9 is done beside CF auto root method?

Yes! Use CF-Autoroot to root and be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc. or you'll kill your phone.

Selling my Galaxy - how to get rid of custom rom?

Hi,
this might be a stupid question but i want to sell my galaxy s and i need to flash a stock rom. Clockwork recovery is installed (and should stay installed) - so how do I "re-stock" my galaxy?
Its a JPY-Version.
Thanks!
download JPY from www.samfirmware.com
boot into download mode
load JPY into ODIN (usually pda)
Hit start.
Do factory reset
JOB DONE !
Thanks. Is there a way without using ODIN? Maybe download an update.zip somewhere and flash it with clockwork?

Far as I know, no one has every made a update.zip file that contains only stock firmware files. They ones available always contain CF root or some other custom rooting kernel.
Also, why do you wish to keep CWM recovery? It's hardly stock in that case.

Thank you for this
Can you also please tell me how to flash this ?
Downloading now , this is a good to have for warranty purpose
Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly. Download Odin to your PC. Extract tar file from the ROM. Put the phone into download mode (vol. down+home+power buttons), start odin, connect the phone via USB. Choose continue on the phone, make sure that only two boxes are checked in odin - Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time. Choose PDA button in Odin and select tar file you extracted before. Choose START button. The phone will reboot after the flash. Done.
Use this method only with stock firmwares. Methods are different for custom ROMs.

[Q] Is that possible to unroot my note by flashing a stock rom using odin?

Is that possible to unroot my note by flashing a stock rom(with no root and no CWM) using odin?
I rooted by galaxy note few weeks ago by flashing a rooted stock rom(with cwm installed) using odin. Afterward, I flashed rocketrom through clockworkmod.
I am wondering if it is possible to unroot and restore back to stock by simply using odin to flash an unrooted original stock rom(please note i am currently running rocketrom).
I know there are several methods provided in this forum like unrooting by Easy Rooting Toolkit( I know this is not possible which may result in broken system) or CF root(I doubt since i did not use cf root to root my phone), so i want to know whether unrooting by odin works. If not, please provide me any viable solutions, thx!
If you flash a stock version smartphones become like your just bought
Make wipe all before to be sure of the result.
EDIT: check CSC after

If your ROM(which u r going to flash) is wipe version, it will wipe off all data, in case you have to backuo it first.
If you dont want to keep root,then nothing more steps required. Just flash any stock rom with odin

So by Flashing Stock Rom; Root+CWM will be wipe out too?
No need to unRoot?
But from your Root Guide, you mention
"Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool."

This is for whom, who wants to remains on existing ROM. You just can understand stock rom requires 550 mb data to download, while unrooting tools just few Mb.
So who wants new stock rom + unrooting,just flashing new stock ROM with odin is enough.

Thx for your help! Do I need to wipe data/factory reset before going back to stock from rocketrom? Recently there were some ppl saying that they bricked their phone when they tried to go back to stock using odin, this really scared me.
I dont believe note can b bricked by changing rom. Yes it can cause bootloop if you tranafere custom to stock some time. Just xlear cache, delvic cache is enough to solve it. But if you can hard reset b4 changin rom, it is always gud.

-Mobie Odin needs Root
-It keeps your root intact
PC odin can't keep your Root intact, so if you are flashing a ROM, which if newer n not directly rootable, you can't get Root after this.
PC odin gives triangle, n raise flash counter if you flash custom ROM/Kernel
Both are safe.

[Root] Rooting Tab 8.9 ICS 4.0.4 (official) - for those with problems

Took me almost two days to figure this out, cannot post in development forum, so here it is:
Problem:
"old rooting files" are not working with newer ICS stock rom, tried with all the here for Tab 8.9 existing guides.
Solution:
Took the root file from the (almost similar) Tab 10.1 for ICS from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807219 which has a link to this file:
http://www.shabbypenguin.com/users/...alaxytab10.1/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip
Installed it with cwm recovery 5.5.0.8 (install zip file from sdcard)
and it finally worked on the 8.9 running 4.0.4 ics stock (UK/European Version)!
Combined with the a1 1.7.3 overclocking kernel, the tab now works like a charm
overclocked with app "voltage control" to 1400 Mhz.
edit: this is for model p7300/p7310 (tegra 2 versions) only
Thanks for your efforts.

Perhaps you should use another root tool. I used a busybox.zip-file.. Just flash it the same way; via CWM (install zip from sd-card)
The file is in the attachments
And if this doesn't work either, you might wanna update your CWM version first, before you flash the root tool. I have it attached as well. Updating CMW is done the same way as flashing a root tool, so: launch CMW 5 and install the CMW6.0.0.8.zip from sd-card.
Here you go!

You can try with Superoneclick2.3.3 - should work fine.
Or you can install CWM first with Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
And then copy root.original.zip over to
SD-card. Turn off device. Go into recovery mode with power on+volume down (don't choose download mode)
and flash root.original there.
are you sure superoneclick are proven to work? Because a failed root attempt using superoneclick usually make tablet slow and need to hard reset
Have no idea. If in doubt flash cwm with odin and then root.

Hi guys, I am looking for some help with this. I have tried the superoneclick way and the program hangs and does not complete. I have also tried the other way, using the odin flashable CWM 5.5.0.4, but when I install it and boot into recovery, the option screen scrools so fast that I cannot see what I am selecting in order to load the root file.
Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue with this version of CWM? Does anyone know of another odin flashable version of CWM that I could try?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Can't Unroot phone

Hi guys,
I'm not new to doing anything with odin and galaxy s2, s3 phones. But.. I'll be selling my friend's Galaxy S3 MINI, but he rooted his phone and wants to get the warranty back.. So I came on the scene I did everything what was in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150822 . With Triangle away, everything worked just fine, but with the stock_recovery.tar.md5 I have some troubles. I flashed it via Odin, but the custom binary counter jumped on +1 again, but in the topic he said, that it shouldn't raise the counter...
I reset the counter via Triangle away again and wanted to flash in the firmware from this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
But before I proceeded, I stopped myself and wrote this thread.. Because I have fear, that when I will flash this official firmware, the counter will raise up again(even thought, that it shouldn't, I think it will - like with the stock_recovery) .
So help me please ?
Thank you,
Paul
