[Woolly222]

Right long story made as short as possible bought my mates s4 off him needed the cash gone travelling ,now I have got it and was trying to get sky go on it but would not work and found it is rooted which is why it won't work so now I want to go back to an original firmware but am having trouble finding one that matches the csc here's a bit of info
ap-i9505XXUAMDM
cp-i9505XXUAMDM
Csc-i9505OXXAMDB

Version 4.2.2
Kernal 3.4 0 526204

Just want to be able to get sky go running not bothered with having a rooted device and don't think there is a recovery on it as I have put in my own sd card it has superuser su on it am familiar with flashing firmwares before just cannot seem to locate one to flash this back to stock though.

found the xposed app unfortunatley it wont do skygo

info

App: Sky Go - BSkyB - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...om.bskyb.skygo
Method: Most likely detects root via native library (built with Android NDK). Unsure of exact method, but the Java portion of the app contains "VGDRM_STATUS_DEVICE_IS_ROOTED = -41942891", and based on the library name, it's a safe bet.
Working on a solution: RootCloak Plus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=49351848)
