Thanks guys, XDA Rocks!

I was wondering if I just download the correct version of the t-mobile tar file here.

Just want to becareful. I rooted the phone and installed a rom. But I want to go back to stock. is this the right steps?

Well, tried to install 4.3 ROM with MK2 firmware and the modem.bin. But somehow every 4.3 or 4.4
ROM out there, I've tried is not resulting in sucess. The odin and recovery installation goes fine. Then I go into twrp and
install the ROM even that goes fine - and eventually the S4 boots and just no calls etc can be done.
I have the backup with 4.2.2 stock ROM (Tmobile, S4 US). I want to just goback tu MDL firmware (and whatever modem file)
using ODIN and try to restore the backup. Is this possible? IF yes, can you guys please point me to right files to do ODIN
and see if twrp recognizes my old backup (that was actually taken using the non-twrp, recovery tool).
Please help!
Or can I make sure twrp recognizes my backup in the external microsd card and restore from there?
Can I use MK2 firmware itself to use 4.2.2. backup?

Have you read my guide yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612
And just a note: Don't post threads like these here in the development section.
Ok,thanks _ will try. Please move this thread to the general q/a section. Sorry.
Also - how can I make twrp to recognize the original backup ? - Or do I need to install the stock recovery using odin again?
Just the sound doesn't come from the phone. (Like calls, can't hear etc).
Does anybody has more insights into this how to fix? - Trying to odin the stock firmware (MDL) and ODIN gets error auth! failed.
Not getting clear instructions to restore my original firmware or nandroid backup from cwm. (I've a backup luckily in the external card).
Does anybody have stock 16GB, S4 Tmobile pit file that can be used for ODIN restore process?:angel:

You don't have to update to 4.1.2 to update to 4.3.
If you go with a custom ROM, you will keep root. Although, if you flash stock ROM with Odin, you will lose it.
Mobile Odin can be used to flash (don't interrupt it), if you wish to go that route. No special instructions.
You can also flash using Odin (PC version), once again, don't interrupt it. You'll have to unzip and use the PDA file.
Finally, if you wanna flash a custom ROM, you can install TWRP, which you can get from GooManager on the Play Store (menu then install recovery). That will let you flash a custom ROM in recovery.
Now before you do any of that, please take the time to read and fully understand what you are doing, w/e option you choose to go with.
GL!

You can only flash the zips via recovery. Download both zip files to your PC and copy to a good quality micro SD card. Place the card in your phone and boot your phone to recovery mode. First you flash the 4.1.2 zip, then reboot to recovery again and repeat the process with the 4.3 zip.
Yes, you will lose root and you may lose your downloaded files which is why you need to do a back-up before updating. Once you have updated to 4.3, you can re-root your phone.
I need above STOCK 4.3 for my i747. It now has a Rooted 4.3 with CWM Recovery Mode. I need to get it back to Stock with Stock Samsung Recovery so I can then do the OTA update that is out to 4.4.2. Assume reason I can not get this update to install as phone is now is because it is rooted and does not have Stock Recovery. It downloads the update but will not install the update after download and reboot. Does this sound correct as to why I can not get OTA to install?? Thanks for help on this and send me the steps to get it back to Stock 4.3 with Odin and version of Odin to use. Not sure if need to do wipe/factory reset and wipe cache before you would install Stock 4.3 .tar file in Odin. Hope to hear from someone that has Done this before so I know it will work. Thanks Guys
