Just got the Verizon S4. Is there a way right now to flash it with stock jelly bean, with no bloat? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
If not possible now, will it be?
Thank you
Root just got working yesterday and recovery earlier today, big items to get roms going. No vanilla roms out really yet. Give it a little time to stabilize. If you are planning on waiting make sure not to accept ota updates or the way root and recovery are done might be patched.

Does anyone have a ROM or Nandroid backup of a stock TW ROM?
I lost mine in an SD crash.
Thanks in advance.
Why not just download the odin download that imnuts posted in the android dev section? It's stock 4.1.1

I should have said a "Stock rooted TW ROM"
And I'll look at that thanks.
It would be better to just flash back to stock and get it that way. Everyones phone is different and it would definitely be a bad idea to flash someone elses nandroid. I still have my TW backup for my Note 2, but on my GS3 when I lost it it didnt really matter. If I had issues it was easy to use odin to flash back to stock and then use Tibu to reinstall my apps.

My apologies. I've been active on 3 or 4 forums at once lately and made a mistake, thank you very much for correcting it for me. :good:
Flash the stock package and then root it? Since it is the older pre-exploit patch firmware, you could even use one of the exynos abuse root methods.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this Forum and a Noob to the Note 2..... I just bought my Note 2 last week, but have not had a chance to really mess with it since I have been working long hours, school, and taking care of the Fam. My question is, is it safe to root on the latest OTA? I read in several places that it wasn't and that's why I am unsure, I will try to do more reading on it tonight. Or maybe you Guys or Gals can direct me to the the correct link or thread, once again sorry if it has been already asked and thanks for your help!
I rooted mine on the new ota, took a few tries but worked on my laptop.

Read thid thread very thoroughly and if you have questions ask them before you do anything to your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
Its easier to ask first than spend hours trying to fix a mess up. If you dont know which updates you have taken go to Settings/About Phone and look at your build number. If your build number is VRALJB follow the link under section 1a for VRALJB, if the build number is VRALL4 follow the link for VRALL4, if you are on VRAMC3 (which is the latest update) follow the link for VRAMC3. Read, read, and read again until you understand everything you will be doing, if you dont fully understand then come ask questions first and someone will help you as soon as they can.

Fairly new to this. Is going from a touchwiz rom (with perseus) kernal as easy as just going into twrp and wiping cache and installing the new cm10 rom? I am looking at liquid smooth.
No, you will need to back up everything of importance and completely wipe your data. You can try your way, but more than likely you will see some errors.

yep you need to wipe data...there is a guide in the dev section that touches up on this.
Thanks for the replies. I went from a charge to the note and well thats was like re-enventing the wheel. No one click on the charge. Always haveing to swap roms with kernels.

So back when I Flashed ROMs with my dinc 2 everytime I Flashed an update for a ROM I had to wipe data and format system and all that before I updated. Otherwise things didn't always work right.
I understand that ROMs for the S4 often have OTA like updates.
My question is do I have to wipe phone before I take a OTA update. Or just when changing ROMs?

Can anyone point me to the stock software that I can use with Odin to return my Verizon note 2 back to stock? I have tried searching but am not sure I have found the correct version. I am currently running CleanROM 3.5v. I have had a ton of issues with my device before and after rooting and need to return it to Verizon. Please don't hate on me for asking. I know someone here can point me to exactly what I need, as I'm not sure what exactly I am looking for. I don't need help flashing, just help finding the correct file. Thanks in advance for any help!
