Hey guys so recently I rooted my phone for s***s and giggles. I have a Verizon I545 galaxy S4 on 4.4.2. Since I am rooted my phone keeps failing the update. How can I go about flashing my phone back to it's stock firmware?

Download your stock firmware here: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/

Then download Oden:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358557126

Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up.

Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy S4to your computer.

Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue (or yellow) and will show the COM port number.

Step 4) Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a tar file.

Step 5) Click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the file ".tar"

Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked

DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY

Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the flashing process. The process will take few minutes to complete.

DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!

Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Reset " then a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic)

No problem, it may take a while considering the firmwares are pretty big, I'm also on an S4 and had this come up a few months ago
