[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] milicigoran:
Im sorry if this question is dumb but I would like to restore to the original unrooted firmware that the phone came with so I can update to todays official 4.3 release. Im on golden eye 11 mj8 with a mdb base band. Is it safe to flash with odin the mdb tar from the op? And if I do that will i get the ota update. I can handle rooting and flashing but never really un rooted before and saw some people post stuff about bricking their device. I don't see how but I want to make sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] milicigoran:
Wow no one comes on this thread anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
If you're on mdb I'd Odin flash the MDL firmware. If you want the new 4.3 firmware remember you will not be able to flash ROMs again. If I were you I'd wait until an 4.3 custom rom comes out and flash that on your current device and firmware.

I have a ATT I337 (4.2 and MDL) running on Tmobile. Skipping a really long story, I ended up with a tmobile rom (wicked 8.0) on it but I forgot to flash the correct att kernel. Now I can't get into my recovery (TWRP). I get the yellow triangle "system software not authorized ..." and I'm sure that's cause of the t-mobile kernel instead of the ATT I should have loaded.

I tried loading other recoveries and even a CM installation but no luck. I then tried to go back to stock but I can't get odin to recognize my device when I am in download mode. The device connects fine in normal mode, but then Odin get's hung on establishing connection. When I go to download mode, the PC sees it and beeps, but Odin can't find it. Tried multiple odin versions 1.85, 3.04, 3.06 3.07 and still can't get it. Ughhhhhh

Oddly enough, I can make calls and use the phone normally which I didn't think I would be able to do with the wrong kernel.

Any thoughts? How can I get back into recovery mode to flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] colorchange:
OK, not sure what the problem was with my desktop but I tried to Odin on my laptop and I got a connection! Loading the stock tar file now. Boy I hope this works.

Alright, so...I was on a custom ROM with CWM recovery installed. I wanted to just get back to stock again and start fresh. I had a firmware version of MDL. I followed the instructions and loaded the file from this thread in Odin, plugged in my phone, and then hit Start. Everything installed fine and it booted up but gets to the AT&T screen and stalls. I waited a good 10 minutes but it still was frozen there, and tried booting to recovery but I cannot boot to recovery it just goes through the normal boot process. I tried flashing it a second time but no luck. I tried both the MDB and MDL versions of the firmware too, but no luck. Not sure what to do next to get this thing working!

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dean1650:
Use stock recovery and do a factory reset. Has happened to me several times and always works for me.

I followed the instructions and was successful to install the firmware that is listed here. After successful boot I rooted the phone again, but from now on I can't install custom ROMs. There is no option anymore of "Install from ZIP" and TRWP and other recovery appls fail on boot. What should I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Check you're baseband... Did you take OTA to mk2?

Sent from my SGH-I337
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] svs57:
Sorry for stupid question. Where can I download OTA for i337?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datura77:
Please forgive my ignorance but I don't know what you're saying. I took the firmware that was in the ODIN AT&T thread. the phone works perfectly fine, I just can't flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ozziedog:
I think what they are telling you that is you took the OTA update to MK2 you can't flash anything until someone finds a way to, that's why most people here don't do the OTA. I think if you continue to try and flash something your going to mess up your phone. But I'm NO expert. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datura77:
I assume OTA = Over The Air. I used the USB cable with Odin and AT&T image in this thread. Does this automatically disables my ability to flash? I'm confused....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ozziedog:
I think Odin takes you back to stock then you have you use AdamOutler Loki BUT you have to read before you brick your phone.

Okay if you go into settings under about phone what is the baseband? What you are seeing in your recovery is the "stock recovery" you cannot flash custom ROM using that. You need either CWM or TWRP and I believe you can only use that if your baseband is either MDB or MDL.

Check out the thread on your baseband. You may Not be able to do anything to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datura77:
I guess what puzzles me is how come I was able to use custom ROM before, but once I flashed with Odin I no longer can do it. I tries both with CWM and TWRP - same result.

Baseband - i337UCUAMDB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
Are you rooted? Probably not if you just flashed with odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datura77:
Yes, I have root permissions. Used motocipher and can run root apps. Do I need to use Loki before I attempt to do anything? I'm trying to install the Infamious ROM - the first time I installed it (before I bricked my phone) I didn't need to install anything - just used custom recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
You need to Loki unless your custom recovery auto Lokis
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ozziedog:
Thanks for adding that I didn't know exactly how to tell him/her that about that:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datura77:
I'm just surprised that I didn't do it the first time I installed the custom ROM, but I'll give it a try. Could you please point me to the right thread that talks about Loki install?

Many thanks!

I don't have ready access to a Windows machine. Would this firmware package work through Heimdahl on a Mac? I have been using Odin without trouble through Windows on Virtual PC, but lost out on that option when I updated to Mavericks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shawn0223:
can you use this if you're currently on MDL? I just wanna make sure it wont screw up the phone going from MDL to AMDB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jd1639:
Why would you want to do that? Just get the mdl firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ssn713:
Yes. Just restored to mdb from mdl following the op a couple of days ago. Don't think they started blowing q-fuses (i.e. preventing users from downgrading firmware) until the mf3 update.

A couple of things to remember....

You'll have to go into download mode and factory reset after odin does it's thing. Also don't forget to block updates once you're back to stock. You may want to turn on airplane mode until you get everything else set up.

How to return Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (firmware I337UCUEMK2) to Stock

Been reading around and found this thread. I'm not sure this will help me get back to stock on Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (firmware I337UCUEMK2). I also found the Samsung-Updates.com website with stock roms, but it doesn't have a rom for my AT&T USA model SGH-I337. Can someone please help me?

If you help me get back to stock I promise to give you likes. I'm on a tight schedule and need to get this phone back to stock for a return. I'm going to switch to a CDMA carrier.

Please help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
On MK2 baseband the only way to get back to full stock is to visit Samsung experience at Best Buy and beg to have them reset it. Due to you're boot loader being locked there is nothing you can do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guaneet:
if youre rooted i think you can go into supersu and and towards the bottom there should be something called "full unroot" im not entirely sure that itll work but it would be my best guess.

Ok first off, you need to tell us what type of phone you have and what firmware you were running before you bricked. if you have had anything newer than mdl than you are pretty much stuck with a paper weight. The newer firmwares really got locked down and odin will not work. ok i stand corrected. read the post below.. maybe [MENTION=4858937]jd1639[/MENTION] can lead you in the right direction and can help you unbrick your phone. I was one of the fortunate ones that didnt take any of the new updates or got a phone with any of the newer that really locked down our phones and have to use Safestrap.

Using a Rogers Canada SGH-i337m, and it's currently running 4.2.2 TouchWiz that I got from here: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/

Something isn't right, because WiFi won't enable. Can't turn it on no matter what I do. I feel like I need to just use Odin to put a different version on the phone, or flash a kernel, or something? But I'm in over my head at this point, as that seems much easier said than done. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm still on the MDB bootloader. Is there anything to gain from updating to MDL? Will I lose any features? And I'm under the impression that MDL is the last bootloader that Loki still works on and doesn't need SafeStrap, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dmb219:
Yes, MDL is the last bootloader that doesn't need safestrap. There are advantages to using it, I don't remember the specifics though. That may be in this thread or somewhere else on xda. After flashing MDL with odin I use Casual to get root & recovery. It uses TWRP which I use to flash whatever recovery you want if you want something else. You need Java installed to use Casual. Instructions are in the respective threads. I remove my sim card during the process to prevent any updating beyond MDL. You will also need Samsung usb drivers installed on your computer. You can intall just the drivers or installing Kies will do it.

Hey guys!

I have a I337M running CyanogenMod 11 M9 with "MG1" baseband on Telcel (Mexico). Can I jump from "MG1" to "NE2", which is the lastest for Telcel (May 16) without having major problems? I dont really want to mess up anything but CM M10 to M12 (and M13 without a doubt) requieres me to update my baseband since is not connecting to mobile data.

I read that I need to load the latest stock ROM and then re-root, re-custom recovery and then re-flash CM 11 XX.

Is there a guide I have totally missed to do this?

I found this thread were djdedonrg posted just the modem Im looking for (NE2), Can I just flash it with Odin and be good?
