Hello,
I am currently running a stock rooted 10r ROM right now, and have been away from the XDA scene for a while. Looking at a couple threads, I see that the new update 20B has came out, and I am eager to flash it! Is there anything extra I must do before flashing any stock 20B ROM that was different than before?
So far the only new thing I have seen is to update the bootstack. If there is any advice or anything I should be careful with that people have missed, then it'd be great to hear what I should watch out for.
Thanks!

besides flashing the bootstack and SUPERSU and twrp there's nothing special. Just do a backup of your kitkat including the efs just in case you don't like lollipop you can revert. I would suggest flashing micromod777 stock rooted debloated Rom

I have done several flashes and roms on my s4 and am looking to get to a fully rooted stock 4.4.2 touch wiz setup. i want to completely clear out my device with a return to stock so i have a clean slate for the new NB4 roms. I am currently on MK2 and am having some issues with roms where i either lose root or not all features are working. I have done some searching on google and on here for a full odin stock but any help to point me in the right direction would be awesome. even if its a stock flash to clear everything out and then i can OTA to 4.4.2 and root it myself that would be fine. ideally a tar file that goes right to a rooted 4.4.2 stock is what im looking for, does anyone have a link?
thanks

Theres a thread in the general section of the T-Mobile s4 that specifically tells you how to return to complete stock with links but as the other guy stated. Sammobile. They have stock firmwares. I'd follow the thread's instructions as I'm doing it though if you're not familiar

I figure instead of pulling my hair out for three days wading through various methods and likely brick, I'd swallow my pride and ask.
Here's where I'm at: I rooted and flashed Carbon rom way back when, everything was working alright, but with time, things are slowly starting to come apart. Yesterday, it's come to the point it can't be ignored. My nightly is ridiculously out of date, but I just haven't wanted to mess with it anymore. I'm about ready to get a new phone and I want everything back to fresh stock to give to a family member. I don't know where to start and what instructions are applicable or out of date. Model: I747, Android version: 4.4.2
I think I'm done experimenting with the rooting business, it's been a ride. If I could get some clear instructions on getting this phone back to stock, I'd be eternally grateful.
Help me xda community, you're my only hope.
What bootloader is on your phone? This is important to know before trying to get back to a stock ATT ROM.

Hey there, thanks for replying! Bootloader says I747UCUEMJB.
Since you are on an mjb bootloader, that means you had the ATT stock 4.3 ROM on the phone.
Unfortunately, ATT never realased a stock 4.3 ROM or 4.4.2 ROM. These were only available via OTA.
There was a thread where a stock mjb ROM was compiled for flashing in Odin, but for some members, the flash resulted in a bricked phone.
I had a feeling that might be the case. What are my options here?
I would install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. There are custom ROMs based on stock Samsung ROMs.

This is the way to go. Since you most likely already have a custom recovery (assumed since you are running Carbon but verify first though), then it is just a matter of getting a new ROM. There are several custom TW ROMs based on 4.3 MJB. If you really want KK, you can flash the NE4 bootloader and modem along with a custom NE4 TW KK ROM. Please keep in mind that with both MJB and NE4 (KK) if you try to revert bootloaders, you will brick.
I am personally running S3RX 4.3 and have few to no issues other than what most people experience on stock anyway. Just have not had the time to move forward to KK as of yet.

Okay, so the bootloader is 4.3, but the Android version in settings says 4.4.2, how does that fit together? Just trying to understand what all this works.
Recovery is currently ClockworkMod. Since I'm planning on giving it to family, I'd like something that is as stable as possible, nothing fancy needed. What ROM would fulfill those needs?

Sounds like you are running a custom KK ROM in order to be using the 4.3 bootloader. A stock KK ATT ROM will not run on a 4.3 bootloader.
Before flashing to a custom KK ROM, make sure you are running the latest CWM. Carbon is a good ROM and should have reached a milestone build.

You are running the official 4.3 bootloader but an AOSP custom ROM. In the case of AOSP ROMs you can typically do this. As mention by audit13, if it was a custom ROM based off TW AT&T stock, you would only be able to run a modified TW 4.3 ROM.
I have some problems with my Stock T-Mobile rom that is forcing me to switch to a different ROM to troubleshoot it. I thought of installing the cleanest Lollipop rom and see.
Searching in the forum I see many many Roms but which one is the most basic version (google version)?
I appreciate your help.

You have it backwards, you don't fix issues with unofficial rom builds,(especially lollipop),, you do it by installing full stock firmware using odin.
In your case you need to install NK2 full firmware and your phone should be like new.
By the way, to answer your question, there is no "official" lollipop rom for the m-919.

So Although I have NK2 right now and I have done reset of my phone which did not solve the issue, you are saying I should reinstall the whole Stock Firmware? I even have a backup of my phone ROM before it exhibited this problem. I can just reinstall that, correct?

I don't know what type of backup you have but if it is a Nandroid then I guess it might be a custom recovery.
Odin back to stock and see if the GPS works. If that doesn't work, there's not much else.
You haven't changed regions where you operate the GPS? There are apps to change that.
THe backup is the one I made using TWRP recovery.
I am not understanding the GPS comment. I have no problem with GPS.
I tried to root and flash a room onto my Sprint Note 4 (N910P) and ended up in a weird bootloop. No biggie I've done this before with my S3 and S4 and a few S6 Phones.
NOPE!! I have NO OS installed.
I would post photos but since I am new here I cant. I have TWRP intalled (v.2.8.7.0) and it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" I only wiped dalvik cache and regular cache. and factory reset per instructions for rom. (Rom that was being installed was AllianceROM©N910P
I was running on Android version 5.0.1 not the latest OTA 5.1.1 I didnt update it to that since I never had a good time with OTA's and rooting.
Any assistance would be helpful as i just got the phone and now I dont have a working one at all
Thanks!
Do you know what release of Android 5.0.1 you had? Alliance is only compatible with the OB7 release.
Without much detail of what actually happened, I'd suggest rebooting the recovery and trying that flash again or another ROM like Noterized that should flash over the other builds.
Did you uber wipe or wipe everything but ExtSdCard maybe? If you used Odin, what did you flash and did you get any error messages?

Good. FYI, OF5 came after OB7. It's important to know for a few reasons. Custom ROMs are limited for OF5 (Noterized and CM12 mostly; maybe some stock ones available also).
That OF5 (including OE1 and OG5) bootloader is reactivation locked to the point that Odin of a previous tar like OB7 or KitKat is going to cause a lot problems trying to flash something that actually boots again.
For some reason, a few have complained of inability to Odin latest OG5 from OF5 but had to first Odin OF5 and OTA update to OG5.
But if you want a custom ROM there's newer development going on in OG5. I'd try KIES or Odin OG5 stock tar if wanting to go that way. I think most on OF5 were able to Odin OG5 but not positive on that. Sorry to say that Alliance is not for you with that bootloader.

I would like to root and get a rom on my note soon but I haven't run a big problem like this in my years of modding (mind you its here and there modding and nothing fancy) for now im gonna stick with bloated stock until a decent non-buggy rom is released for the OF5 bootloader. I didnt know which was which since im new to the Note Family. Been in the S2-4 series most of my time.
Looking for a good stable rom with no bloat and adblocking, nothing fancy
Thanks again.

I would suggest @tx_dbs_tx 's Hybrid x 3.0. You can unzip it and remove whatever you don't want re-zip and then flash it.

It worked fine, phone runs like a dream. Only issue is the stock camera is very poor quality so I might mod that next.
Hi,
Sorry if this question has been asked. I googled quite a bit but just can't find an answer.
Most ROMs posted here are modified, they are good for personal use. But now I am looking for the pure stock rom from Sprint for LS980, those can be flashed with LG tools. The best I can find is a ZVE rom. Is there any ZVG rom available?
TIA

Since no one is going to have anything good to say about you or this thread due to it being posted in the Dev section and that the G2 forums are filled with jerks, I thought I'd try to be of help.
I came across your thread while looking for almost the same thing... a stock rooted ZVH or ZVI rom to flash.
Like you, I couldn't find one.
It looks like ZVE is the last KDZ that's available for our G2 and I really only see ZVG rooted roms.
In your case, why don't you go back to ZVE and take all the OTA updates to get current and unrooted?
I did find this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/zvi-ota-update-zip-t3266332
The link in the OP has all the update.zip files, I presume unrooted and just pulled from the cache partition.
I agree with xNotta. Your best bet is to go with an older version, ota update to zvh, and do a factory reset. Or if you've got a custom recovery, flash agimax's full stock rom which is only rooted. I'm currently using his ultra variant.
