I recently ran into a problem with my verizon samsung galaxy s4. I had been running numerous custom roms for a few months now and It started to get a big buggy when i was running cm 10.1 nightly so I decided to use the [GUIDE] No-Wipe Factory Images (Restore from any soft-brick without wiping data) to get back to stock software and flash a different rom. After rooted using motorchopper. However any I have tried rom now has a problem, I can't reset phone or it gets stuck in bootloop till I flash a different rom using twrp. It's really strange, also when botting the phone says samsung galaxy s 4 and it used to say samsung galaxy s4 unlocked. Is it possible my bootloader got messed up, I'm not sure what happened and the stock software sucks. I thought it might have accepted the ota update but I am still running VRUAMDK build so I dont think so. Any help would be great and appreciated.
Sorry if its something stupid, Thanks for a response Chris
You try going back to stock by Odin?

ODIN back to MDK. Then redo everything from there. I wouldn't try anything crazy with the recovery. If you accepted the OTA, you can root using the MD2 bootloader then use titanium back up to freeze a script (forgot which one but it's listed on here) to prevent the ME7 loader from being flashed.

hey guys today i installed SGS tools and in there i started checking phone codes.. And then i went into touch screen firmware. and i updated firmware. Now Menu, Home, Back, Search key arent working. PLZ PLZ help. What i should do now.
1st this should be in Q & A so next time please post there........
If your phone actually tried to update firmware, then you may need to reflash whatever rom you had on it.
This happened to my friend, what I did was reflash his phone back to stock and then reflashed the custom rom. But, he really jacked the phone up,
Without knowing more that is the gist of the needed sequences to rectify this problem.
Thanx for reply..
Sorry for posting in Development thread.
Anyways keys are working now. What i did is flashed stock ROM using ODIN and updated the touchscreten firmware again. And now everything is working.

i just really want to use the appsync app so i can play apps on my tablet and my phone and not have to restart like so im lvl 32 on bloons td5 on my tablet and when i go to my phone im lvl 1 so i want to sync them up
If you want to flash roms you need to unlock the bootloader first.
If you still have a custom recovery and just lost root should be able to flash supersu.zip

Hi ,
Am really not familiar what is KERNEL and what is ROM ?
my phone got into a reboot-loop after battery was dead , tried everything not working , and i can't go to warranty because i bought my phone from another country (i moved here 2 months ago to work) so in this country they have N7105(i think)_ but mine is N7100 ... they said different parts .
Do i have a chance to get rid of the reboot-loop ? i can access the download page and the restore thingy with the download from ZIP .
Do i need a ROM ? a Kernel ?
where to get one ?
and how to apply it (i am under UBUNTU 12.10) i have heimdall-frontend installed with heimdall , but failed installing the stock kernel

Just Odin to stock, but you will probably get more help in the n7100 forum. This is the Verizon i605 forum.

I've tried motochop and the Odin method. Both of which leave the SU binary out no matter which way I make attempts at fixing it. The same error occurs and I'm one step further from getting wifikill back. Anyone interested in helping me solve this riddle ? I rooted the S3 no problem and this one proves to be much more difficult just by virtue of being the newer one I suppose.

Did you swap the stock kernel with the pre-release kernel? If not that is your issue. The stock kernel that came loaded on the phone has a root blocker. If you dont the root blocker wont allow the writing of the binaries to the phone from what i understand. You use Odin to swap the kernels, do the root then flash the original kernel back to the phone and presto, you're rooted.
If you did that then i have no clue. Other then you must have the motochopper with the updated SuperSU not Superuser.
anyone else having this issue with the new locations in google + ?
i'm using beans #19 on a verizon note2. have three other devices all it works on all. rooted, stock rom note 2, stock sg3 and a rooted stock N7.
i don't know if this is rom related or not.(won't let me post there) have un-installed maps and G+, wiped cache and dalvik, re installed from the market. also reflashed the rom. i.e. started over.
