Yea,

Thank God I found this Thread.... After I did the OTA update to 4.3 on my phone, I rooted it..then sometime later I wanted to unroot it so I just used the 4.2.2 stock firmware I've been using. I didn't think it would make any difference. I figured it would restore to 4.2.2 then I could update to 4.3 again but boy was I wrong. Soon as I tried it oden gave me a FAIL. I tried a few other times a few other ways with the same result. So I put CWM on my phone and I was able to boot a copy of CM 11. In the mean time I was searching for a good download for M919UVUEMK2 . I found a couple but the file was deleted. Till I came across here. It was a 2 hour download but a HUGE file. So soon as I got it.. Put the phone into download mode..opened, odin, loaded up the firmware,, and started it and I was gold. I am so thankful.. I Though for sure I screwed up my phone for good..Thank you very much to who put up the link for this..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salenas:
And I thank GOD that you found it too! I have been scouring this forum, looking for help. I did the same thing you did. And though for sure my phone was a 600 dollar paper weight! FAIL on ODIN, Firmware upgrade issues on boot, KIES no help at all, wouldnt get past 'device not recognized'. I knew I couldnt send it in to Samsung because it had been rooted, no warranty. Your reply was the very last one, I literally looked through every single post in this thread. Saw yours and thought well I may as well try it. With me trying to follow your steps (except using TWRP, not CWM) I put it on odin and did the tar thing. PASSSSS!!! Thank GOD. Thats all I did. I didnt even do put a new ROM on, as you did...My phone started up right then when the pass came up.... works PERFECTLY. Thank you so much for posting!! And thanks to all these folks on xda that give us the good stuff. Thank GOD it worked !

So, has anyone found a way to root the M919UVUEMK2 baseband without issue?

I also took the OTA update before reading the forums....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
lol, no problem buddy. I like to do that incase what I did will help someone else.. I was actually scared some one was going to call me an idiot for it taking me so long.. lol but I'm really glad it worked out.. I know how frustrating that is to come so close to bricking your phone.. When I flashed the new firmware I was saying prayers trust me..lol.. I'm glad it worked out for you though..

take it easy..

Here's how to root the 4.3 with no issues.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJusa7KlxHE

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

To root the 4.3 with no issues... flash this file in the PDA on your odin : CF-Auto-Root for Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile) SGH-M919

http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF-R...

Then go back to download mode and flash whatever recovery mode you use.. CWM..or TWRP..

I didn't triangle away my phone and it all works fine...

Theres a way to make a downgrade to my M919 from TMobile, its 4.3 and im trying to unlock it doing this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283068

apparently my BB its newest and it should be the oldest to work..any idea ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
I sent it to you, did you get it? I uploaded it to my mediafire account and gave you links...to both the zip and tar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
Is there anybody out there that would be willing to host the TMB-M919UVUEMK2 tar? The only one out there is the RG mirror and I can't get a complete download. It runs at like 50 kbs and i can't even resume with a d/l manager. Even Sammobile links to RG. I just want a non corrupt file even if it takes all night.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
I'll do it. Lemme upload it to my Mediafire account and I'll post a link in about 15 minutes..

PM me if there's any problems with the link. I tried it myself and it works fine.. I know the other one your talking about.. you try it and it says it's going to take 14 hours then it stops half way.. I got this file from the samsung site but it's not on there anymore .. Good thing I saved it. This downloads in about 15 minutes. It's just the tar file not a zip. If you want a zip for some reason download it and zip it. :D Don't forget to click the thanks bar if this helped you out..

By any chance does anyone have a link for a guide with downloads to root the tmo s4 on 4.3 with no issues?????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
Thanks a ton. Hopefully I can revive this m919n. This is thing is downloading at 2/mbs . I have a feeling this post will see a lot of traffic. You rock

edit: AdamLange should post this in OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
Not a problem man. I hope it works out for ya. As long as you can get your phone into download mode, it'll work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
Ok. Well the file is good and it downloaded fast. But it didn't fix my phone. :( I have to figure out a way to wipe my phone, including Dalvik cache from Odin, because i can't boot recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
When you go to boot into recovery mode does it go into that thing with the triangle with a ! in the middle and say to go to Kies? Are you able to hold down the volume down, the home button and the power button at the same time to get into recovery mode? If you can get into that your gold. you just need to wipe/factory reset it once more after flashing it on odin but if all you can get is the 2 computers with the triangle ! on it telling you to go to kies then your screwed. Call Tmobile and say that happened while you were getting the OTA update on your phone.. it just stopped and that screen came up and that's all that'll come up... they'll try and have you do a few tests then send you a new one. I must of done that 20 times in the 9 android devices I've owned... That happened to my Galaxy s2. 5 times alone and they sent 5 replacements...sooo.. best of luck to ya.. if there's anything I can help you with let me know..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
Yes I'm stuck with the kies triangle. If I flash with Odin it will bootloop. Sometimes it will get as far as the Gapps/touchwiz setup page and then crash. The crazy part is, I got to this point before and was able to revive it. This is the m919n Metro PCS version actually. I flashed the stock Metro firmware and revived it but that doesn't seem to work now. I thought maybe this would.

I bought this from a guy. I'm on T-Mobile and its never been registered in my name with either carrier. I'm not sure if I could get away with bringing it in. I sure hope I didn't just throw away $275
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
Yea me too.. sorry to hear that man.. That's a good buck for used phone.. If you look on google.. type in cell phone repair in (whatever your city and state is) call a few places.. You may be able to get it fixed for 20 bucks.. those guys have different things to flash real fast for different characters.. can't hurt to call and ask.. I really hate to hear about what happened to you.. I know the feeling well.. after my first phone bricked I literally felt sick to my stomach.. Good luck..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
So there is absolutely no way to wipe with Odin? What if I had the right PIT for a Nand erase?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
you said it was a Sprint phone right? I've never ever worked with any phones that weren't Tmobile, since the first android phone ever came out I got it on day 1 and tmobile was the only ones with it. So I don't want to tell you the wrong thing and further screw up your device.. If it is in fact a sprint then you may want to ask on the sprint G4 threads and ask.. BUT I can tell your this much.. IF you Hold Volume - down, Home and power at the same time, then when the screen pops up hit volume + or up and your should see the greed android guy and is says download mode.. or just download.. If when you do that you get the triangle with the ! telling you to go to kies you may be screwed... Here's something that did work for me though.. I put CWM on through odin, then I went into CWM and instlled cyanogen mod and it booted up.. then I did the rest.. but if you can't at least get to recovery or downoad mode that thing is bricked I'm sorry to say.. and If you bought if from a person .. Jeeze.. I'm so sorry to hear that... that's a heart breaker.. hopefully something I said will help.. It's hard to tell you if I can't look at it and play with it alittle...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
It's a Metro PCS phone. It's exactly the same as the T-mobile version. Flashing the T-mobile stock firmware actually will make it a T-mobile phone. I just somehow got into stock recovery. What should be my next move? I lost root by now....so....what are my options? I'm not touching anything until I have a plan
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
Now you just boot into android recovery by. Holding the volume + up. Hold home button and power at the same time. When the Menu pops up click Wipe data/restore to factory settings button. When it's done reboot and you'll have stock. It'll take you to the setup screen. Just set it up you won't have root but you will have a working phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
I tried wipe data/factory reset. Also wiped cache. Still botlooping. Could I install a flashable zip of TWRP from here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
If you can find one that flashes with Odin give it a shot but running the Wipe data/factory reset has never not worked for me. When you reboot sometimes it takes over 15 minutes to boot to the setup screen so be very patient that really should work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nspusmc:
I did it again and now its no longer bootlooping. Even worse. It's booting the Samsung logo then screen goes black. It doesn't try to boot again on its own from there. I can't get into stock recovery again. I'm going to re flash stock via Odin and try to get back into recovery again. Then I don't know what

edit: Oh sorry. That's because my battery is dead. Now that I am on the charger, I'm back to.... boots to set up screen for about 4 seconds and then crashes. reboots.

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

Thanks a lot ShinySide!!! That worked great. I was reading the thread though and it says if you use that rooting method than you can't install custom roms, you have to use SafeStrap. I read the safestrap thread and there's like 5 versions of it for different models of s4.. I can't tell what version is for that phone.. I obviously need the one that matched t mobile... do you have any clue as too witch one it is? Any Idea's..?

Thanks a lot!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
We don't need safe strap. Only s4 I've seen is the att variant using it.

But either way you will trip your Knox flag soon as you install recovery or flash a rom. Knox has 3 bootloaders aboot sbl2 and sbl3 each bootloader checks each other and TIMA checks the authenticity of kernel and boot loaders. Soon as any are charged, TIMA locks the keys which trips your Knox flag.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lmax579:

i only see a stock mk2

is there an mja or mdl floating around that has been rooted already?

is this possible and please point me to a thread where those older stock rooted files

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
I have a question. I'm on 4.3. I rooted my phone.. then I had some trouble with it so I just now flashed the 4.3 Stock Firmware from the Samsung website. Now my phone is unrooted and back to stock.. Can I now return it if I need too? Or is there a way they can tell it was rooted at one time.. even though I did a complete restore with stock firmware on odin then even a restore on the phone. Main reason being is that 4.3 is buggy and causing some problems and I wanted no root so I could get the Kit Kat OTA when it comes out. I KNOW you can't get that with root..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knotrkr:
I just did mine..

Step 1 : I put phone into download mode by holding down.. Volume Down,, Home Button,, and power at the same time...

When the caution screen comes right up hit your volume up to put it into download mode..

Step 2: Open Odin,, and put the .tar stock firmware file into the PDA part on ODIN.

Step 3. Plug your phone in and make sure odin recognizes it.

Step 4.. Click start.. takes about 15 minutes.. leave it plugged in until it restarts and says PASS..

Step 5.. FOR me anyhow.. I put my phone into recovery by holding volume up.. home key and power.. then running wipe data/factory restet button.

when that's done just set up your phone and your good.. I'll get you a link to a tutorial.. you do it the same way as 4.2.2 but you use your 4.3 firmware...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jyZ5QafAQ

Follow the guide on that video.. the only thing at all you do different is use the 4.3 firmware you already have..

I hope that helps you out..

Torrent?!

I appreciate the link but with files this big I hate loosing the download to an interruption. Just a thought but lets start creating STOCK TORRENTS on XDA that way the files stay alive hopefully and can be downloaded much quicker, reliably etc. etc. And dont cost one persons account all the bandwidth. Cheers

Well I took my own advice!! But I cant seed for ever, I dunno, i wanted to try making a torrent :P Lets see how many people use it! Hit thanks if it works out for you :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
I'm seeding it with you now, I downloaded the zip file directly from the copy.com website and rechecked the files on the torrent client. My seedbox is upload-capped at 5 MBps or 40 Mbps. It should be fast enough for most.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dyangster:
Yeah, I got some results... I got 4.2 MDL from this post, but the 4.3 came from somewhere else though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
The zip file from copy.com or the torrent gave you md5 error?

I just placed it in odin and it didn't fail :0. Changing the name of tar.md5 file is enough for it to fail the md5 check.

edit: nvm, just checked, its the one hosted on mediafire
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CanadianKB:
The torrent is based of copy download and its good I ran it to use my unlock code now I'm back on custom. Regarding torrent that was my first lol. I'm working on uploading it to TPB but for XDA will work I will seed when I can but I have no dedicated computer I take my laptop to school on occasion and my WiFi is sketchy but when connected I can upload strong bw and I will share for a while to give back. I always have trouble finding stock fw. Everyone should always keep there basebands stock on hand. I've used it multiple times to SIM unlock. Even T-Mobile Sim codes won't work always in custom Roms as was my case. I have a feeling it's because my ROM is branded gt-i9505g not m919 anyway rambling lol... Night thanks for seeding file with me ! This way if someone has spooty WiFi like me they can do partial downloads and hopefully some ppl with band with can seed it n stop using copy mediafire etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joesixpack1:
Will this Firmware work with Triangle away?

Thanks for starting the torrent. I'll seed it as well.

I used the "Golden Backup" method to sim-unlock my SGH919 and that was enough to set the custom flag. I rooted to run "Triangle Away" and the status showed "Official" for a few days, but it was still rooted. Can I use this file with Triangle Away to remove the "custom" flag and then select this file to flash with "Triangle Away" to unroot it to return to stock to get the OTA KitKat upgrade?

Thanks,

Joe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
You are on the tmobile S4. Flash the NB4 tar file from fenny. You are willing to flash this MK2 tar file, why not flash the NB4 tar in one go and not worry about unrooting, going back to stock just to make the ota zip work?

But sure, use triangle away to remove the custom flag and if you are using supersu just unroot from within the app itself. But then, I don't see the point of flashing MK2 instead of NB4. Unless you have a reason to use the ota. They both accomplish the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joesixpack1:
Thanks - I used triangle away and then SuperUSerSU to unroot and the OTA was successful - sort of. The WiFi will NOT turn on. Just a quick flash of green and then back off. No error message. Also, I cannot set-up a PIN lock screen.

I'm sending the the phone back for warranty replacement now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] qxps:
Did you try wiping data? you can try rerooting (knox flag will be set), backup data with a custom recovery, wipe it, then reboot and see if that fixes the issue. Unless there is an issue like this with touchwiz kitkat, have to read upon that.

For the wifi, you could try reflashing the modems manually, considering the m919 has finickiness when flashing modems through recovery, wouldn't surprise me if it failed (i.e reverted) the modem part.

hey everyone!

i rooted my SGS4 using CF-auton root.

next, i installed WICKED ROM using TWRP.

phone was acting strange so i decided to go back to stock and just leave the phone alone. i followed the guide to the letter. now my phone wont boot. i cant get into recovery, ODIN wont see it. if it does start up, it gets stuck on the T-MOBILE 4G LTE screen, then shuts off. also, only appears to charge when connected to my computer. its strange. never had this happen before.
