You can download a custom rom, copy it to a sd card, and flash it in TWRP.

That's great you got it working. You can now flash 4.4.2 ROMs.

I m looking how to go back to stock.
You can try using mobile Odin to flash a stock AT&T ROM and update from there. AT&T never released a complete stock 4.3 ROM, only an update.
Any particular reason you want to go back to stock? It's unlikely you will have a warranty from Samsung since you flashed a custom recovery on a 4.3 ROM which would have tripped the knox counter.

Wanting to drop stock(latest) back onto my phone as the person buying it wants that. I want to say I remember reading I needed a newer bootloader for 4.4.2. I got my device on launch and got tired of waiting and went to CM11.
What if anything other than clearing data/cache and flashing the stock deodexed/rooted ROM would I need to do? If there is a bootloader, is it a separate odin file? or flashable .zip?

If you're on 4.3 still you will have to Odin a stock 4.3 firmware on to the phone. You can not have a custom recovery on the phone so the Odin way will also replace the custom recovery with stock recovery. Then once your phone is stock, you can then take the update to 4.4.2
If I'm not mistaken, you should download the 4.4.2 fw and Odin that on you phone as well. Even though you are Odining your new fw, the phone must be fully stock or that update will still fail.

Well I was on 4.3 stock then went to Cyanogen 4.4.2. I've now got the deodexed/rooted stock 4.4.2 from the forum here and was able to boot it using leankernel. It works and the buyer is satisfied with it. He know how to flash updated ROMs so he can change later anyway. Thanks for the response though, I was thinking noone was gonna answer.

If you want the newest/latest official stock N900T KitKat firmware why not do the following:
You need to download and Odin flash the official stock KitKat N900T NE6 firmware.
Here is the direct fast download link for it:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537528
The above zip file also contains Odin, CF-Autoroot and TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery.
Be sure to go into recovery before Odin flashing NE6 and do a factory data reset
and a full wipe. Optional: Then Odin flash cf-autoroot and the TWRP 2.7.0.1.
If you want more information and or instructions here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...60&postcount=2
If you want the older official stock N900T 4.4.2 NB4 KitKat rom you can
download it from: http://tekunix.com/downloads/TMB-N900TUVUCNB4-20140305155920.zip
and Odin flash it instead of the stock NE6 official N900T firmware.
Both the older and newer official Kitkat stock roms come with the required bootloaders/baseband.
Good luck!

So clear data/factory reset and clear cache in recovery. Reboot into download and flash NE6, then cf-autoroot, then TWRP? I didn't see you say exactly when to flash NE6.
hi guys new to the galaxy phone and i have been looking into flashing a rom. i have done all the ground work root and custom recovery but now im trying to flash a rom and i get errors. i looked it up to a point where everything i do want to flash requires a 4.4 or 4.3 update and i am stuck in 4.1 is there any solution to this like start from an older rom and work my way up to a current rom. would that work or odin the phone to a current update if possible to find the update. what options do i have ?
not sure if this is the correct thread
Well I would just flash via Odin up to 4.3 because most Roms require the 4.3 boot loader so yea
Sent from my ATT Samsung Galaxy SIII using TapaTalk
I recommend you not update to the 4.3 bootloader as the 4.3 bootloader can cause problems when trying to flash back to stock. Once you're on a 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade to a lower version. Most ROMs seem to work fine with a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 bootloader.
If you have the att s3 (i747) and not the Bell/Telus/Rogers s3 (i747m), you cannot use Odin to flash a stock 4.3 ROM as it does not exist. You would need to flash a version of 4.3 that has been custom compiled for flashing via Odin.
I would download the latest version of Philz Touch and flash the tar version via Odin. Copy a custom ROM to your SD card, boot to recovery, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, and flash the ROM.

I know there are a few threads regarding this issue but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I am currently running stock 4.3 jellybean (rooted). My phone hasn't received the 4.4 KitKat update yet, so I wanted to install CM11 in order to get KitKat on my s3. However, I heard CM11 can be buggy on the s3, so in case things go south, I want to be able to revert back to the stock 4.3 rom. Some people have said that you can easily flash the stock ROM via ODIN. However, others said that downgrading from 4.4.2 to 4.3 will hard brick the device since installing CM11 updates the boot loader. So downgrading to 4.3 stock with a 4.4.2 boot loader will cause a hard brick according to other threads I've seen. My question is, how can I downgrade from CM11 to stock 4.3 safely without bricking? Thanks in advance.
If you are sure you are using a Canadian version of the i747m, you can flash back to stock in Odin using a stock 4.3 ROM for the phone's original carrier (Bell, Rogers, Telus).

Yes I got the phone from Rogers, it's most definitely i747M. But do I have to worry about any issues with the bootloader? I'm assuming installing CM11 will install the 4.4.2 bootloader, so if I choose to downgrade to the stock 4.3 rom, will it cause any issues seeing as I'm running a 4.3 rom with a 4.4.2 bootloader? I just want to make sure because I heard it can cause some serious problems if the bootloader is newer than the rom.

I have never come across a custom ROM that touches the bootloader. A compatible bootloader has to be loaded on the phone before you attempt to install the custom ROM. Supported bootloaders can be found in the ROM's updater script.
I assume your phone has no warranty since you rooted it on stock 4.3. Did you root it by installing a pre-rooted ROM?
You could copy a ROM to your external SD card, install Philz Touch via Odin, reboot directly to recovery, create a nandroid backup, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, and install your KK ROM.

Okay, I was just making sure because I know OTA updates can change the bootloader, so I just wanted to make sure the custom roms don't do that. As for the custom recovery, are you recommending Philz Touch over CWM and TWRP? Do you know which custom recovery is installed from the CM installer?

Oh and one more question, my phone was originally carrier locked to Rogers and unrooted on 4.3 jelly bean. I brought it in to a cell store for them to carrier unlock it for me, but they used a rooting method to unlock it (because SuperSU was installed on it when I brought it back). They didn't unlock it with a code, so I'm guessing they used something like Samsung Tool or z3x shell. If I install CM11, will I lose the unlock, considering it's more of a "soft unlock", or is the unlock permanent regardless of how many roms I flash? Thanks for your help!

Philz is based on the latest release of CWM and I prefer CWM over TWRP because I had problems flashing ROMs. Once I switched to Philz/CWM, no more problems.

The unlock should be permanent. I unlocked it using the free method when on 4.1.1 and no ROM has ever caused it to re-lock. Reflashing a completely stock ROM, including the bootloader, did not relock the phone.
Please remember that flashing and changing ROMs will always carry a risk of soft bricking or hard bricking your phone. Make sure you read all of the guides and be prepared for disaster.

New Phone, Who dis?
Hello, Huskied here, And I am requesting help installing this Nougat safely on this Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile.
Keep in mind, This is still on 4.4.4 KitKat, Haven't installed an update just yet, unrooted, and it's a SGH-M919 type.
Build Number KTU84P .M919UVUFNH7
any help would be appreciated.
Here's what I would do:
Flash the latest stock ROM from Sammobile.com with Odin;
Flash twrp for the m919;
Save the rom and appropriate gapps to the phone's internal storage or sdcard; and
Flash the custom ROM, flash gapps, reboot.

Thank you. And one more thing, Some ROMs require LP Bootloader. Where can I get that?
Flashing the latest stock ROM will give you the latest bootloader.

Tried today, Couldn't find any stock ROM for the jfltetmo. Found a bootloader that's supposed to boot the ROM I would like, Failed and could only boot into recovery until I restored 4.4.4.
Any thoughts?
If the phone baseband is running these latest fok3 ROM, that is the newest bootloader for the phone as indicated here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4/SGH-M919/TMB/
Btw, that nougat in the original is not for the m919 so don't flash it as it may hard brick phone.

hey can anyone help me? i've recently reverted my note 2 back to stock via odin and everything seemed fine. When the phone booted and i went through the setup process it always hangs. No matter what i do it always hangs. I've tried reflashing it and rebooting it over and over again but it always hangs. anyone know why this keeps happening?
Are you flashing the latest stock ROM? You're performing a factory reset before booting the ROM for the first time?

Yup latest stock rom, and before i flashed via odin i deleted my previous rom via twrp and formatted internal storage so its 100% clean
I've downgraded a Note 2 sgh-i317m to 4.1.1 from 4.4.2 by flashing a stock 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile.com in order to network unlock the phone. Flashing the stock 4.1.1 ROM tripped knox and could be installed via Odin because the 4.1.1 ROM from sammobile.com did not contain a 4.1.1 bootloader so I wound up with a stock 4.1.1 ROM on a 4.4.2 bootloader. After unlocking, I flashed the stock 4.4.2 ROM again and the the phone worked as it should.
I'm not sure which phone you have and I'm not sure downgrading and upgrading will work in your case but it's something you may want to look into.

I've managed to get the phone working (N7100) and it seems to run fine on Nougat. I did some testing and indeed it would always crash on setup with kitkat roms. I wonder why this is the case....
It is strange that kit kat causes a problem.
Have you tried using a different version of twrp to wipe the system before flashing with Odin? Can't think of anything else that may solve the problem.
