Hey guys, i'm new to AndroidForum. I've had a Galaxy S4 for a year or so now, decided to root it today. Came across a few techniques but none seemed to work. So after that I used the TWRP wiping option to clear my phone = deleted the OS? This ended in my phone getting stuck at the 'Samsung logo' screen. i'm still able to access TWRP menu but that's all. I'd like to go back to stock android, what are my options?

Thank you in advance.

 

Hello, i tried rooting my phone with MotoChopper initially. Went through all the steps through a guide on Youtube, worked fine but when i opened the Superuser app there would be an issue with the binary. I'd use a root checker and it said i wasn't rooted. Then i used another rooting method seen through tutorial which pretty much just made me copy the superuser apk on my phone then install through TWRP.

I have the GT-i9505 version. Thanks.

 

Thank you very much that's extremely helpful. Do you have any suggestions on a solid S4 ROM and where to find one?

 

Great guide, but one more question...

I've downloaded the stock firmware for my phone from sammobile.. my downloaded file came as a zip file, now when i try and unzip the interior tar.md5. file is comes up with errors. thoughts?

 

hahahaha

Hmm, i've downloaded the file twice. Both times i've been unable to unzip it. I've tried WinRar and 7Zip as well as Stuffit expansion on a Mac, no luck.

 

Hey guys, fixed it all up thanks to everyone's input.

In the end i flashed the official stock ROM from the sammobile website, it seemed to be stuck on the samsung logo again but i was able to clear cache and factory reset, this did the trick.
