I recently screwed up a rom by not reading in the middle of the night. I accidentally flashed a T-Mobile rom . Anyways, I have everything up and running, but I'm having a problem with restoring. Really, it just can't find the file for it. I'm not exactly sure how to fix this either.

So you need a Stock Restore Image?

No, I'm trying to use a restore I made before messing up.
You need to do that from the recovery console with CWM or TWRP. I'm not sure what you mean by looking for a file. There is none if you made a nandroid backup. Just browse to that file and your set.

No, no. I already made the back up but whenever I try to restore it, it claims nothing is in the folder or even there. I've made three copies and can show you.

In that case I would do an Odin restore then root then install CWM/TWRP and restore your backup. I can send you info via PM on restoring via Odin with links if you need.

All S4 roms can be run on other s4s except octa core i9500 rooms. I9505 tmobile att and sprint roms will work if you flash a verizon s4 touch wiz kernel and a verizon modem.

1.What program did you use to make your backup? 2.Did you save it in internal memory or SD card, remember that if you wiped internal it may have wiped along with it, if its on your SD and your using twrp you have a few options.. You can hook your phone to your computer and search your SD card or find the file path by going through twrp. I have done this before, it's just simply a case of finding your backup...let me know if you still need help

If you flash this and it doesnt work, what do you do then? We dont have an SBF for 2.3.5 do we and this will lock your bootloader and prevent a downgrade.

If rooted and bootstrap recovery works, shouldn't we be able to flash a nandroid backup to downgrade? I'm not sure if either of these are possible so I'll wait before trying anything.

You are either joking and that is very funny, or you are never permitted to flash anything ever again.

Description: This is a guide (based similar to my previous guide for the Verizon Galaxy S III) that will help you flash a 99.9% stock factory image for the Verizon Galaxy S4 overwriting every partition on the device back to stock. The ONLY major change I have made is for your convenience I have modified the factory image to keep all your data/apps/settings and internal storage partition intact. This method should help you restore from any soft-brick that you may encounter without having to wipe your data.
Minor Warning: Please note that if you had any special mods that you had to manually flash before or move on the system partition (like Google Wallet, AOSP 4.2 apps like camera and gallery, etc...) they will be lost as you are overwriting your system partition to factory stock. Please make sure to do the needful with your mods before following this guide (for example resetting the Google Wallet app).

I have just achieved root with a tool called Towelroot.exe, now I would like to install a custom recovery but my device isn't listed in Rom Manager.
Is it safe to flash recovery from a device that is similar to mine?
How do I go about finding the right recovery so I can do a nandroid backup for my phone. I would also like to flash Cyanogenmod so that I may customize my device.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c Stock recovery sucks
Anyone know what my Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c compares to, I think it's close to the s3 mini except that it has 512MB ram and the s3 mini has a gig I think.
This stock recovery doesn't even have an option to make a backup, what the hell were they thinking. What in the heck would you do if something happpend with your stock os and you needed to restore it or something like that.
I would sure like some help with this, to understand why I just can't throw a recovery that was close to my system onto mine, How bad could it be would it really screw up the booting process? They all boot the same don't they? I would think it would be safe just as long as it's the same os version right?

Which one is my actuall sdcard? I think it's the extsdcard but I'm not sure.

I was able to download the stock recovery 7.5mb and stock kernal 6.1 mb with flashify, I don't know if a programmer could take these files and do something with them or not or if they are even the files I need..

Hi use towelroot.apk from towelroot.com and tap welcome to towel root 3 times when the box at the bottom comes up change the 1 to a zero so it will look like 1337 0 0 0 4 0 tap make it rain and the device is rooted, reboot the phone first and it will hold root.
Howdy yall...lol. I would like to let you all know I have decompiled the hiddenmenu.apk within the system/app folder and guess what if we can get to these hidden menus it has options to turn off secure settings, however it does require a key.......I just send an email to the samsung dev responsible for handling the keys, will keep you posted also I will post the dialpad codes soon so keep your eyes peeled here.
