[Q] How to get back to stock - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So my phone was rooted until I got the 4.3 update( Silly me for updating). Once I got the update and Samsung Knox appeared on my phone It said I had to disable it, well after following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 it disabled Knox, but I have some sort of problem with updating the SuperSU binary?

I click continue then is asks if I want to use Normal or TWRP/CWM
I do not have a custom recovery, so I clicked normal. Then it pops up that it is installing
after 2-10 seconds it fails and asks me to reboot and try again
I spent 4 hours yesterday trying to get it work and searching the forums(and google) for answers. At this point I am completely stumped on what to do. Any ideas? Can I get back to completely stock somehow so I can try again? Or is there a way to update SuperSU?
I will be checking back this is not one of those posts where someone asks a questions and does not return

Give this a try while phone connected to PC, run "adb shell" command, you should see $ prompt, then run "/system/xbin/su", you see root's # prompt. Please verify this before we proceed further.

I ended up just flashing stock then doing it all over again and it worked. Sorry for the late reply and thank you

Stuck on recovery mode Sero 7 Pro while trying to install CM12

Hey all,
Tried installing CyanogenMod 12 on my Sero 7 Pro while following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297246 for files.
I successfully flashed Clockwork mod and had my device rooted. After following the steps in this guide here http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/01/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-cm12-android-device/ for installation, I then tried to install CyanogenMod. Upon doing so, I get hung up on this screen

and eventually I receive this message
I'm not able to reboot at all into android as I pretty much have no OS at this point in time. I tried sideloading the .zip on here and I get the same message. I also tried various other ROMs and received the same error message. Pretty sure I messed something up here... :crying: Anyway, if you guys can help me fix this issue, I would really appreciate it. Sorry for the noob question!
Thanks!
Well, seems like I must have installed an old version of CWM or something. Not sure. I decided to try flashing TWRP which worked. I tried again using this loader, and, for some strange reason, it hung up on the same screen. I decided to leave it and walk away just in case. After a few minutes I came back and it successfully installed! :good:
Running CM12 build by Meticulus! (Thanks!)

Galaxy S4 4.4.2 First time Root - No Command Errors

Hi all,
I got a VZ replacement GS4 the other day and was lucky that it was still running 4.4.2 so I decided to give a go at rooting the device. I tried a few one-click solutions but none seemed to work. I eventually found a method on these forums([How-To] Root I545_NK1 - 4.4.2 (12-1-2014)) by muniz_ri that worked like a charm. Here are all my current info...

After gaining root access, I downloaded superuser, Titanium Backup and Rom Manager. First thing I did was back up all my Apps/Data with TB. I wanted to flash some ROMs before I did I went into ROM Manager to backup the current ROM and after the initial reboot I noticed it was not booting into CWM Recovery but what i think is the stock recovery and would show the android for a second and then it would show it "dead" with the error triangle above with the message "No Command". From there I just continued with the system reboot option 1.
I tried a few more times, same result. I even tried TWRP to try to backup the current ROM and I'm getting the same result.
Any suggestions on what can be going on?
I believe people said CWM and TWRP aren't possible for builds beyond MDK cause the bootloader is locked. I think you probably should use ODIN following this to return to factory NC5, get updates to NK1 and get root using this. I think the current way for rooting and backing up is flashfire? maybe you can use that for custom roms. Or someone comes by and corrects me for being dumb

Lost stock recovery on ACER B3-20 after failed update (rooted)

Hi,
I own an Acer B3-20 tablet with stock firmware, rooted via kingroot and unkingrooted with supersu me pro.
An OTA update came today for my tablet and I did proceed not thinking about the root thing.
The update failed with the file
Code:
/usr/bin/debugd64
found not equal to the one expected. I assume it is the rooting process that changed that file.
No damage was done when I rebooted. All was there.
So I said to me. I am gonna reflash (OS_Acer_AV0L0.B3-A20.RV03RC06.WW.GEN1_A51L_A.zip) the stock firmware from SD Card to get rid of root but when I got into recovery mode (power+ vol up) I discovered that menu in chinese instead of stock recovery. OMG!

}
Edit: looks a lot like this
I tried again the update after deactivating super su. (unrooting ?). It failed to do the update again but drop me it what seems to be exactly the stock recovery. So I used it to reflash the original firmware provided by Acer for the tablet. hence unrooting completly. and proceed to make the update again which worked this time. :silly:
Did you get the new chinese recovery after the update ? my build is now: Acer_AVOLO_B3-20_RV07RC01_WW_GEN1
How did I get the original stock recovery given I have already reflashed the original firmware and did not get it back (but I applied the OTA update on top of it) ?
What does every line of it mean ? Can somebody translate this menu, please ? the last one is reboot . It's all I manage to get
first highlited line seems some low level stuff and all this does not seem to be the recovery in chinese.
Thanks

Stupid mistake Firmware update bootloop (Flashed twrp too early)

Hi Guy's,
I think I may have made a really blooming stupid mistake. After re-flashing stock due to some funny errors in my rooted rom I attempted to enter the bootloader again and flash trwp without unlocking the bootloader. I had the same adb window open from my first root and cycled through the commands and simply pressed the wrong command
So I'm in the infamous yellow "lock the bootloader" problem wherein it simply boots me into the firmware update. I had tried to do my previous restore to stock with LGUP that was successful however it throws up an error now as I believe it doesn't like that I updated in the mean time from buggering my phone up. (see attached pic) I have also tried to use a kdz for the 10i found here from the forum to only have LGUP crash upon initiating usb connection at 3%.
I know of no way to go back at lock/unlock the bootloader and I do apologise for the inconvenience but any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a million!

Maybe replacing dll file solved crash problem of LGUP and he flashed the stock Rom.

At first time i thought it was caused by installing a downloaded theme in the playstore, i have try to wipe data & cache but still same. i get some opinions about this, first, this is just an update failure, maybe EMUI update, nonsense wipe data & cache not work. Second, after newly sign up the phone again, before log in Huawei ID it's appear "Your phone is rooted", i don't know what's happen, dude. I immediately check out about
. Third, this phone still have Bootloader locked and FRP locked, check from fastboot on Huawei multi tool. Fourth, try so many times to get some update EMUI form Huawei eRecovey and restore and get failed to connected server.
I have try to find stock ROM LDN-LX2, and not found. if some one have some clues, or ideas, suggestion, please tell me.
this error booting is very annoying, the device still can boot up to home menu but too late and get some lagg/slow respone at sometimes.
Thank you,
regards, new member.
