A little more info may help.. but I'm assuming your phone was possibly MK2 build? Where did you get the stock file from and is it the full wipe?

What have you done to get to this point? "Unroot" and using Odin are two different things

Alright. Go here for the MK2 stock image.

Make sure you have the correct USB Drivers and preferably use the USB cable that came with the S4.
If the no wipe doesn't work.. Try the full wipe..
I'm going out on a limb since you haven't replied back yet. But if you're on a Verizon S4 with SafeStrap then really you can't go wrong with using the MK2 file.
If you need anymore help let me know

Maybe try a new kernel. I'm on the latest saber and Eclipse is flawless

I have an old GS4 lying around that I'm going to give to my younger sister to use as her first smartphone. When I used the phone, I was constantly trying out new ROMs and such. She isn't going to need any of that. I'm looking to return the phone to 100% stock (no root, able to take OTAs, etc.) before giving it to her. The phone is currently running Android 4.4.2 on NC5 thanks to Surge1223's guide along with stock recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The only way to disable OTA's is with root. You could just go to OC1, but there is no going back... Or put Hyperdrive ROM(looks like nc5/s5), and uninstall safestrap, and put a lock on SuperSU so she can't mess with anything.
Just odin back to NC5. There is a guide out there. Might want to try searching the forums.

i loved the battery life of this rom, well really i just loved this rom... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567499 now when trying to install i get bootloops..its mj4 so is there a way i can go back to mj4?..on stock oc5 rooted/twrp recovery.. also does anybody recommend or know of a stripped down efficient rom like minimus that will work when on oc5?? thanks in advance.
aw **** how do i delete this i thought i was in q&a?

To go back you have to odin flash mJ4 modem.

Then flash that ROM
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk
would it really be that simple? i mean would it work with oc5 bootloader? not exactly sure how that works...and can you really just flash it do you have a link mate?
i get the whole odin thing but was told by me mate to never flash a downgrade as it would brick my n3.
and can someone help me to delete this thread?
Ive done it numerous times. I recently pit a Sprint Note 3 on Straight Talk. Due to Sprint deciding to lock the sim card at a certain point you can only do that with an older modem, namely mj4 or older. Mi3 to be specific. So yeah you can do it.

Another way is to find the stock MJ4 ROM and just flash it back to to MJ4 then root afterwards again.

So here's the story..
I recently decided to root my Galaxy s6 Edge 6.0.1. The root worked fine.
However, I found out that it caused the default phone app to not work properly. I could call and receive calls, but neither of us could hear each other.
I downloaded this one app that can modify system apps. I went to the phone app, backed it up, deleted, and tried to re install. However.. It failed me. It would not let me use the backup I had created, and just let me to the google play store.
After trying so many things to fix it, I ended up just removing the root, and factory reset my phone. Now I have a new problem. It wont even let me call anyone. It tells me "Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working". Now I tested it to see if it was the actual phone. I downloaded WhatsApp and tried calling from there. It worked fine, and I could hear the other person and they could hear me. Which lead me to believe that it was a problem with the systems phone.
Is there anyway to get that back? What can I do? Please help, I literally just voided my warranty 24 hours ago and now it's about to bite me in the ass....
There are only 2 ways you are going to get it back

Well Currently installing the stock firmware. Have a bit of time before that's downloaded, But I found this: (Except with my model instead of OP's) http://thedroidguy.com/2015/08/flas...sung-galaxy-s6-to-fix-rebooting-issue-1048633
Is this what you're talking about?
You just need sammobile to get your firmware

For people that needs / wants to go back to so you can send in your tablet in for repair, or just for fun, I had made these stock PA1 flashable .zip's I have 2, one is ROOTED and one isn't ROOTED.

Could you give a log and some details about your rom, please? Is it a beta or can be used as a daily driver?
Thanks

Daily driver.
I downloaded the zip and tried to flash it. In TWRP it starts to extract files with the progress bar only a 1/4 of the way over and after about 10 seconds it reboots back into recovery as if it crashed. I figured it was a bad download so I downloaded it again and tried a second time and same thing. not sure if it a bad upload or what I am doing wrong. I am using rooted version. Thanks

Hmm, strange I downloaded it, and flashed it a couple of days ago.... And it booted for me. Make sure you are using the latest TWRP. I used this recovery to flash mine... https://drive.google.com/file/u/1/d/0B5EVF8f93NAlWUFWeHRjdXFXMkE/view?usp=drive_web

Ok, your welcome
I tried with the same TWRP like yours and I encounter the same problem like JonSCSL, maybe it is a broken download after all
