Hey gang - quick question for all you pros out there. I have a Galaxy S4 on the MDK build... currently running Cyanogenmod 10.2 with Android 4.3... can this guide be used to restore back to stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
I didn't know if it was only for JB 4.2.2, or if that would make a difference....

That might work but if going from cm to TW you should probably use the full wipe tar files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325

Do you need to go back to full stock? Or are you just looking to go to a TW rom?

I guess I could just go to a TW ROM.. I figured that I would need to go back to stock in order to get standard updates, etc. I'd be cool with going to a TW ROM if its pretty much the same thing...
If you plan to stay rooted. Doing a factory reset and flashing a TW ROM would be the way to go. Lots of good ones to choose from.

Well, I think I downloaded the wrong rom and flashed the wrong file. Here is what I downloaded and flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
For whatever reason, I thought it would work. In my brilliance, I didn't perform a backup. I still have access to TWRP, so what do I do? Also, does 4.3 exist for the Verizon flavor that is Google Play edition?
Thats for the i9505 international version. Theres some 4.3 ports in the dev section. Since you didnt make a backup of stock youll have to odin back to stock and start over. All the odin images are in the dev section as well.

Did you think it would work because of the "guide" on how to run other carrier's ROMs?
And no one else I know is working on Google Edition 4.3. Mine's not done yet and I've been to focused on 4.2.2's build recently. I'll get back to it eventually.
As far as a fix:
Install another ROM. If you are desperate for SOMETHING 4.3, then install cyanogenmod 10.2(either of the 2 unofficial builds)

Thanks gents. The only reason I'm itching for 4.3 is access to Bluetooth LE for my Fitbit. I used Cyanogenmod for a minute on 4.2 and it was amazing, but BT LE brought me back to stock. It lately started doing that Google Services using 70%+ of the battery, so I started hunting for a 4.3 rom.. in the wrong forum. WOOPS.
I'll probably go back stock until I can get 4.3 rom that has everything working.

Stock touchwiz and all, didn't flash any roms but I am rooted with unlocked bootloader. Any mod I've ever wanted, I was able to do through xposed or just flash some small file. My questions is, are there any benefits to changing roms? If so, what TW rom would you guys suggest?
ThaCh0de's CockNRom v9.2.3.1 with XBrickMyPhoneX kernel seems to do the trick for me

Woohoo! Don't loose that MDK bootloader! You're one of the lucky/smart ones that didn't take an OTA update.

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

I'd use Flashify from the Play Store to update to a new recovery. Using Goo or ROM Manager can lead to possibly having to Odin back to stock and start fresh... Couldn't tell you exactly why but it's happened to a few of us including me.
Also... Go for a ROM like C ROM, Mahdi, or Liquid Smooth... Ditch TW

I too have MDK so.... :highfive:! I am running Hyperdrive RLS 15 and it runs flawless. Loads of extra features if you like that sort of stuff. I used the Ktoonz Kernel with it so it comes with the KTweaker App for complete control over the kernel. Loads of battery life. Its 4.3 but if you want 4.4 then wait about a week or so and Sbreen94 will have it released (atleast that is his current time frame).
Trying to root a note 2 i605vruemj9 on 4.3 . So since this replacement is 4.3 nothing can be done except using safestrap? I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181 to revert back and after all the process in odin it is still on 4.3.

You can't revert to older bootloaders after 4.3 mj9. Mj9 can be rooted and safestrap is the only way to use custom roms. However you will only be able to use touchwiz, no aosp roms.

Thanks for the reply. I thought safe strap was the only way. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something on. All the searching I done. Thanks a bunch
I rooted the phone, but know nothing about ROMS or if I even need one?
I rooted the phone so I can remove the bloatware & I was hoping for faster speeds out of the device as well.
Is there a ROM that the community generally considers the fastest/lightest stable ROM out there?
IMHO I've tried em all...
stock rooted OC5 update is the best
everything works.
debloat with root unistaller

This one right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/romodin-t3095540
I bought a used phone & it is on
Hardware: N900P.12
Android version: 5.0
I plan to do a factory reset & then root the phone (I rooted a Galaxy Note 2 once, but I never installed a custom ROM before).
So when I "flash" that OC5 ROM, will it just be a de-bloated stock Samsung Note 3 ROM on the latest Loliupop update?
All the S-Pen & camera features of the phone will be intact?
Am I correct or is that a much more customized ROM?
Will I have to root it first before following the steps in that thread?

That's not a "flashable" rom in terms of using a custom recovery to do so, that is a tar that you use with odin and your phone in download mode. I would read some of the q&a threads in regards to updating from nk4 to oc5.

lol I'm completely lost, I think I'm going to brick my phone if I try this.
Nk4, Tar, Odin mean nothing to me.
I assume you don't mean Odin, the Allfather of Asgard.

I actually do not see any ROM named OC5 in this site under the Sprint ROM sections:
http://grantbarker.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Doesn't that site have every ROM available?
OC5 is the Samsung code for the latest version of their software. the letters and number correspond to the date is was released, can't remember how it translates... doesn't matter.
go here. read the whole thread. its not really that long.

Ok, so OC5 is just the latest firmeware update for the Galaxy Note 3, it isn't a custom ROM at all.
So the stock ROM is better than all of the custom ROM out there?

I'm on stock rooted lollipop right now, with Nova Launcher. I love it.
there is a fellow putting together a stock rooted deodex that works with Xposed over in the gen chat sect, and that's going to be great, should be released soon.
I'm not a fan of theming at all, and IMHO the more changes a person makes in a ROM, the more features ported and crammed in there, the buggier it tends to be... and that's not always true either, just my experience.

Lolipop v 5.0 was already on the phone, I just rooted it & everything went fine.
I downloaded Titanium Backup & holy hell is there a crap load of apps on this. Too daunting to mess on my own.
So there is no stock debloated lolipop ROM for the Note 3 as of now & we have to wait for the deodex stock rom?

Correct. Lollipop was a different "type" of Android. So it's been catch up time for devs to figure out how to make the mods work on lollipop. It's all coming soon. There is also a list in general section of apps you can remove without worries.

You just said you are on the ROM you are trying to Download. N900P.12 5.0 IS the OC5 update. Go into Settings---About phone--- and read your base band...
I am taking over my son's S4. I know it is on 4.4.2, rooted and running a safestap custom rom. Otherwise I know nothing else. Phone works fine I just want to take it back to stock for my own use and if I want to tinker with it more I will.
Can I just use one of the ODin tar's back to stock and let it OTA to current or will something special need to be done? If so which one? I am fine with a full wipe if needed.
Any help greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Note that if you really want lollipop, you have no way of going back unless you use minuz_ri's method or Stangs stock modded debloated ROM
Before I add more, what ROM exactly?

I think Hyperdrive but I dont really know.
Download cpu-z from play store it will tell you what bootloader your on. My bet is nc5 or nk4. If it's either one you can flash the nc5 Odin and still root using towel root.
