You Can use odin but be mindful because you might end up bricking your phone its better to flash first dbdata.rfs....before flashing it to stock gingerbread rom

Actually, no, it doesn't matter in which order you flash it in. You can flash the stock GB rom first- you'll just end up in a bootloop. Then just pull the battery, insert and get into download, flash in dbsdata.rfs.tar.

So cm 10 then flash custom gb then bootloop then flash .tar and everything ok?

Not sure about going straight to custom GB- but sice they're just modified stock roms, yes, I believe it should work.

I have done this few times... just flash CM7 over any JB rom, reboot recovery and then flash CM7 again.. after that you can go to any other rom you want.. :good:

unfortunately yes! u'll lose root. but u should search for CF-ROOT to flash via odin after flashing the stock rom. follow the instructions on flashing very carefully, and u wont brick ur device anymore. i hope this helps u. happy flashing!
thanks alot!
and if my friend has a stock rom and i backup it via recovery and then flash it on my device..is it possible? i will lose my root?
thanks
You can download the official Sprint Galaxy S4 MF9 update tar files here~!! :good::laugh:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720
Here as well.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SPH-L720&pcode=0#firmware
I haven't finished downloading yet or unzipping to see if the file is correct but the zipped file size sends a bit small for an official ROM. Also, they package the kernel separately? That's weird.
Has anyone used these?
Flash the SPR-L720VPUAMF9-20130626162512.zip via TWRP ?
Then the KERNEL-SPR-L720VPUAMF9-1372121308.tar is flashed via Odin?

I used it myself and it worked very well. For me, a fresh MF9 flash via PC Odin was more stable and smoother than doing the MDL to MF9 update.
If you flash the full MF9 tar, you don't need to go back and flash the kernel tar.
Thank you!
I am on MDL w/ many mods.
I guess I am gonna have to go this route, although, phone is working as I like.
But, I guess I have to continue to move forward?
Sigh, I also will guess after doing this will wipe out everything, and I have to start all over.
Definitely gonna perform a fullbackup first, and then remove my ext. sdram.

Does one lose root and custom recovery if flashed either via odin or via cwm/twrp?
I should say, can i still flash supersu if i flash this file or do i have to reroot/unlock my phone again?

Yes, you'll lose root and custom recovery. After flashing this, use Odin again to flash a custom recovery then flash SuperSU within custom recovery to gain back root.
Is it possible for someone to make a NOData version. (Got kind of spoiled from the E4GT)

Can someone give me the noob guide? Can I flash this over rooted stock and have a "legit" binary when I go into download mode? If so, what's the simplest way to flash?

It's pretty simple. First, backup all your data and media then perform a factory reset from the phone's Setting menu.
Shut the phone down and enter the stock recovery mode. Open Odin on your laptop or desktop, connect your phone, select the tar file, and flash your phone. You'll be back to 100% stock.

What if you're rooted w/ custom ROM?

Then you will need to reroot using odin and then reflash a ROM.

Can someone please please please torrent this? These download sites are ungodly slow, and since I accidentally cancelled the download on hotfile, I can't redownload it again for awhile.

I am not very good with the S4 since it is my friends phone I have a note 2. If I flash the full MF9 via odin then all I have to do is CF auto root again and my friend it rooted again?
If I use ODIN do I have to edit ODIN to show phone bootloader update checked before I flash the MF9 tar?
Anyone have a suggestion on how to rooted back once the update to MF9 is done beside CF auto root method?

Yes! Use CF-Autoroot to root and be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc. or you'll kill your phone.
Check this out for what it should look like.
I have no issues flashing custom rom using (POWER+HOME+UP Volume)
Is it possible to download from SAMMOBILE and flash using the customer recovery of CWM ?
I'm assuming it would work like flashing any custom rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, any Firmware downloaded from SAMMOBILE needs to be unzipped and then flashed via ODIN.

Thank you, this was the exact answer I was looking for.
If you're rooted mobile odin should do it.

Normally repartition is not checked by default in odin. Further which version are you trying to flashing? Which one you have? Give some more details to seek help from xda family.

Download latest firmware thru samfirm with check marks on binary or something like that which will reset your phone on favtory condition and rebuild all partitions. Be aware with this method your phone will be restored just like new one and data and other will be gone.
