Can I just download the tar of me7 the 1.6gb file or whatever. Open in odin and flash under phone?...
Should I have anything checked etc?
Im coming from mdk rooted twrp clean rom to bone stock latest ota.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Why not just Odin to mdk then just take the ota? Or flash the me7 ROM?

I just figured It would be easier. If it can be done this way. To get a complete clean and stock install

I downloaded that and the one click mdk restore from sxt develop. Idk which is better to do

You dont flash under phone either. You use the pda option. But ya you can do either. Flash mdk then take ota or use the me7 file.

And that'll remove root. Twrp and everything? I downloaded it from androidfilehost. From openyoureyes. Latest me7 tar its like 1.6gb..

Yeah itll be a bone stock phone afterwards. If you use the no wipe ones you will be left with your apps/data/and internal storage intact.

Whats the whole point of the triangle flash counter I read in other threads?. If you can just flash it under pda

It keeps track of custom rom flashes. I think samsung implemented it for warranty reasons. Dont think its present in the gs4 atm tho.

Yeah I just checked and noticed it. Never noticed it before but I use a different method to reset it anyway (when I had my s3 that is). This is from chains desc. of the app.
"TriangleAway*was built to disable the triangle (if a visual warning is present) and reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0."

Helping out here is like driving your friend to the tattoo parlor to get a severely ill-advised tattoo... Don't do it man! Or give me your address and I'll overnight you a bone-stock me7 and a prepaid shipping label to dispose of that icky unlocked one you've got But seriously don't do it, you're killing me.

Hello,
I saw your post and want to use safestrap to install a custom rom. I just don't have $750 laying around, so I need to be sure that I can reset everything to bone stock. I am running me7 firmware and have already obtained vrzme7nowipe.zip. I just HAVE to reset the flash counter if safestrap effects it at all. Can you please help?

I have been rooted since March so although I've been running ICS and various modems I have never taken an official OTA.
To make it stock and make the flash counter appear the way it should be I need be on the GB modem (UCLA1?) and Odin back to the original firmware while incorporating a flash counter reset somewhere in there correct? And then I could OTA to the latest official ICS and it will be good to send in?
Or is there an easier/faster method to Odin directly to the correct ICS firmware and set the flash counter correctly?
I'm a little concerned because I have recently seen other users mess their phones up trying to prep them for warranty exchange.

I flashed the flash counter resetter and did a freset, loaded the stock rom, and sent it in rooted....never heard a peep.
I guess I don't understand what actions increase the flash counter. I have flashed many kernels, roms, etc but it says custom binary: no in download mode so I guess I don't have to worry about that.

This will probably offend some. . .
. . .some of the people who have trouble restoring to stock using the posted method likely messed up their phone in the first place by the same reason.
I'm not trying to start any argument, I'm trying to reasure people you can do this.
The method is solid. Just read twice before you click anything.
Thanks all, I'm back to stock with a reset flash counter.
I forgot how terrible the stock experience is!

You could flash stock gingerbread and let Kies update you to ICS.
Otherwise, flash stock + rooted and use superSU to unroot.

Yes. The file is tar.md5 and is odin flashable as is. The md5 extension means Odin will verify file integrity before flashing. Use any version of Odin as far as I know, but I think version 1.85 was the most common one when our phone came out. Put the file in the pda slot. Have you ever used stand alone Odin?
stock but it was also illegally sim unlocked

If the replacement phone has ICS 4.0.4, that's not gonna do you any good. You need 4.0.3, and you need to be able to make sure it doesn't auto-update to 4.0.4. 4.0.4 is DEFINITELY what causes the SOD.
So I was on a 4.2.2 build for the longest time and wanted to check out a KitKat ROM. So after flashing it and not caring too much for it, I went back to my backup only to find out that I have no cell service.
Can someone tell me what I need to flash via Odin or possibly recovery to get my cell service back?
I'm on beans7 with 4.2.2.
Thanks XDA peeps! Much appreciated!

Since your on MDK have you tried flashing the MDK non-hlos modem? Not just the " modem only " one.
Usually flashing a new ROM doesn't effect your modem at all so I'd usually say that it's the ROM that's the problem. But since you've been trying different modems to try and fix the problem it may good to try the non-hlos one. Also make sure whatever recovery your using is up to date.
I've had to flash the MDK non-hlos then I used the phone for a few days and ended up flashing the NC5 one without issue.

Did you try the full wipe tar? Also are you positive you're on MDK now and you downloaded the mdk tar? And did the md5 match on your download?
These are the most basic things that would prevent your phone from booting.

Problem fixed. I rebooted in recovery after flashing the MDK tar and did a full factory wipe and it booted right up!

If you use that tar, that will put your phone back to factory stock out of the box with the newest software version. If you are looking for the latest version of twrp, just Google and then you can reroot and then put twrp back on. Use Odin to do it all. Hope that helps. Now if you are already rooted, then yes, just find the latest version of twrp and then flash in Odin.
