Deleted....sorry I was on another thread and thinking confused. If you want to flash back to stock factory file give me a second see if I can find the tar file for you.

buhohitr said:
This is the original firmware and you must flash it using ODIN. This include rom/bootloader/modem/kernel (everything), it will also wipe your twrp recovery also. After flashed this it will bring your phone back to factory stock. If you're thinking something else don't flash it and just post what you want and people here can help.

yes thats what i am looking for the stock rom..but this link is way to small for that and also, I opened it up and it didnt have the tar file in there..Im assuming this link was like a firmware update instead...

OK, here is the full firmware, unzip then flash with ODIN. This included rom/bootloader/modem/kernel(everything). This will bring back to factory stock rom.

If you already have strong signal and no issue with data drop, then you don't need to upgrade, otherwise yes you could upgrade and possible it may cure your poor signal...hopefully. In my case, this new radio did nothing to my phone signal.

That's pretty much it. There may be the odd security fix or something here and there but they're not covered by change logs so we'll likely never know

Feel free to share that in the other post, as we'd still love that option.
To the OP: are you saying that a stock boot.img and recovery.img, it won't trip Knox?

noob question, I know, but can we flash twrp or cwm through odi, and then flash a boot.img through custom recovery?

be 100% stock. get on your computer and download the file. extract the file. open up odin, click ap and find the extract file and then let it do its thing.
couple thing i noticed right off the bat was: new unlock animation, voLTE icon in staus bar, lock screen clock is centered and an icky ims service force close

[Bootloader U4] [A40] First version and mod no warnings.

One of the first u4 bootloader versions available, and modded by me so that there are no warnings about unlocked botloader and non-standard system.
Features:
-No warnings
-The first version of u4
Downloads:
https://mega.nz/file/yn4VjRzL#roaLDldV93Ho8klKlXmrZDjsBy5ZCz4C3F3aizIWBU4
Credit/Thanks:
@xinek
known bugs:
if your phone stays in download mode after installing bootloader, you will need to reinstall twrp and vbmeta.
error may occur if you are using custom recovery.

Thank you Man!!
Im try it!
Flash with odin. Rename CP md5 to tar and flash it together?

cp is a modem file not botloader, but I recommend flashing together.

Just change Images in param.bin.. It is not needed to put whole Bootloader files. Btw: Bootloader is sboot.bin
Also i dont recommend Users who are on U3 to flash U4.

flashing that bootloader and modem fixed the problem with your ports, they boot up and work so rather something helped.

it seems to me that the system is responsible for this file, not the bootloader.

Thank you for your work! Since it seems to be problematic for some people to go for BL U4 - would it be much work to do the same for BL U3? Would you care to public the changes you made to the U4 BL? It would be really nice to get rid of this warning page.

3.52 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
you don't need to edit perm.bin to remove the warnings, put this file in odin and it should work.

I took the liberty to check upon your file.
it includes unmodified cm.bin, sboot.bin and vbmeta.bin all in lz4.
Then there is param.bin without lz4 and that differs from the original.
But I can see param.bin is just cosmetics.
Anyhow... does the phone still wait about 10 seconds just not showing a picture at all?

phone boots like original system without bootloader unlocked.

So short update:
I flashed param.bin (no need to flash the others) and the phone wont show the warning signs. As expected the routine to wait for 10 secs or so is still in place.
However it is much nicer this way and I thank you for that!

Failed Root Z flip 4 brick & recovery..now what

So long story short was trying to root went to sammobile they didn't have my vzw sm-f721u and I updated flip to 13 while prior.

No root. Sammobiles f721u1 is slower than my og f721u ..bvka which can only find for sale and shady at sammfrew.com

There's no firmware for free anywhere . Frija doesn't have sm f721u....bvka. and the new fw I have didn't downgrade my android when I flashed. Tried again and wouldn't root. Did Magick correctly. Think I have to wait.
Once you go 13 you can't downgrade
