Seems to be a kernel issue or a corrupt zip file. Try downloading again on your computer and copying it to your sd card.
[Galaxy S 4 General] virus1126:
I had this issue, to get around it, run ODIN again to flash CWM, then pull battery out when you see “PASS!” in ODIN, then boot straight into recovery by putting the battery back on and using the buttons, you should see CWM recovery now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aslak89:
First, you should flash CWM recovery of GT-I9500 via Odin.

stock recovery supports only the zip signed by samsung.

it is just change of displaying.

3G networks are largely seperated as 3G < hspa (H) < hspa+ (H+)

this is different as network condition of your location.

[SHV-E300S][NA2] Advanced Stock V4.1 PK with Leche™ Style

I just registered to say that I've been using this custom ROM from matcl.com for about 3 days on my SHV-E300S with no problems. I can't read Korean so I just used google translate to register. In fact it took less time to register for matcl.com than on XDA. I was already rooted on 4.2 so I downloaded it and saved to the sd card then flas'tnhed using Cofface CWM recovery v3.0

There is also a small update listed on the web page called "update-v4.1", I also flashed it but started to get random reboots so I started over and this time didn't flash it and have had no problems the last 3 days. Anyways sorry if Im not clear Im still somewhat of a newbie. Oh since I just registered it says I can't post link so just google this then : [SHV-E300S][NA2] Advanced Stock V4.1 PK with Leche™ Style

Sorry about that. I usually don't scroll down to the quick post. I just usually quote the last post. As for the 4.3 baseband problem no one has answered that since October that is why we are getting desperate. SHV-E300S already patched and 300S users are saying that the LTE problem has been fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Untitled795:
oh then it is my bad, and sorry about that. I see for the SHV-300's. could you explain the difference between s and k? you seem much more knowledgeabe than me. I shall be getting mine no matter what and ill answer when i get it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2ndcarpenter:
basically the only difference is the provider, K is KT, and S is SKT. so if these phones were using US carriers such as AT&T or Tmobile or Verison, they would be 300A, 300T and 300V
[Galaxy S 4 General] Untitled795:
Oh for real? thats good to know, i thought they put the carrier's name before the number. explains a lot now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
I was getting actual 4g lte on tmobile. I Don't know about now since the new updates have caused havoc for those outside of korea, but one thing you can do is to go to your friend and pop your sim card into it and make sure you are in an lte area. I was in clarksville, tn and had lte on all lte channels but the first one but setting it to auto still put me in lte mode.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Yup lunerceli is right. The best way to test it is to check if it still connects is to test your sim on an actual device. I know I got mine the very same month the Korean S4s were released and LTE was working fine up until the 4.3 patch. If you get yours in 4.2.2 do not update it to 4.3 because you will not be able to downgrade. Make sure to test your sim in an SHV-E300K with 4.3 first before updating it. There is a big probability that LTE will work if you don't update it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Untitled795:
Hey guys,

Sad news is my friend unknowingly updated it to 4.3....Will hspa+ work? And im sure there will be a ROM/update soon. Also going to my local carrier to get the microsim (Had an s2 with regular SIM). W'ell see then. I'll reply tomorrow!

E300K Not Working

So I uploaded the e300k firmware from the first post and now I cannot boot past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. I am able to connect it to the computer and use odin. My carrier is olleh. Im really lost and I want my phone back. I tried to get factory firmware and it says unsupported version. Please help. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kalifornia909:
No seeders. Any chance I can get this elsewhere
[Galaxy S 4 General] rgc_:
sammobile and samsung-updates website both show NA2 as the latest firmware avialable for the SHV-300S.

But Kies (latest download) still shows MH3 as the latest version.

Downloading NA2 and flashing via Odin issues the dreaded "knox images only" message.

NA2 is supposedly an official FW so how do I get it flashed on my SHV-300S?

I bought the phone in Japan (gray-market, unlocked), with a Japanese SIM card from Softbank.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kiemthu123:
Same question here.

Or is there any way to downgrade from Android 4.3 to 4.2.2? My S4 E300K does not install Knox, so can I root using this method?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Tried this before and got bricked. Once you have 4.3 I don't think you can downgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Ok, here is the skinny on all of this. Yes there is a way to root the 4.3 on our phones, but it voids the warranty though and is kind of tricky to do. What you can do is get the same version of 4.3 that you are currently running and put the 4.2.2 sboot and over write the old one. Then flash that tom through odin. J think the version is 3.09 but do not quote me on that one. This will allow you to root your phone like before, but it does trigger the knox warranty. Now, kingo app is working on adding our firmware tk the new version of their app which does not trigger the warranty. The Way that they do that is by installing a camera app and another app that has loop holes to allow root access. It is the same thing as when you could mod your xbox 360 bye using the game King Kong. Lol. Hope this helps as this is going to be the last time I explain it unless something changes. I have posted this throughout this forum post. So remember to read through.

As far as the downgrade goes, you have to be running the 4.2.2 sboot. Sorry but there isnt any other way right now. And the rom in the OP only works if you are still on 4.2.2. Always remember that newer isn't always better.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

This does work as I cleared my s/n and imei number on purpose and did this. You can find your s/n and imei behind your battery. Just write it all down and do it. This is the same thing samsung does. I just made a friend not long ago that works for sammy tech support and services and he confirmed this is how they do it.

Only the korean E300S/K/L S4's come factory unlocked.

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Uninstall kies and then reinstall kies. If you are rooted already then you will have to unroot your phone. The easiest way is to let kies download and install the latest fw it shows and then it will upgrade to 4.3. Note that when it upgrades to 4.3 that you will have to upgrade kies to to kies 3 in order to talk to your phone.

I purchased a Korean SHV-E330S

Does that still count as an SHV-E300S?

(Sorry for the noob question but Android is relatively new to me since my iCrap got stolen.)

Can't seem to find a proper IMEI simlock check for it that doesn't cost money and I bought it prematurely without doing research because it was a good deal and needed a phone. Works fine here since I have SK as my provider.

SHV-300S and Kies

As I mentioned in an earlier post I'm having some problems with Kies.

NA2 is the latest FW for the SHV-300S but Kies would not allow me to update to this version.

Currently my phone has MH3.

And this is what I found.

This is the original version of Kies I had installed. This does not see the NA2 update. Kies and S4 communication is OK!

---

Kies 2.6.1.13105_7

PDA:MH3/PHONE:MG3/CSC:MH3

---

But there seems to be an update to Kies. I get and install the update but then Kies complains that the S4 is not recognized!

---

Kies 2.6.2.14014_5

The connected device is not supported by Kies 2.6.

Do you want to install Kies 3?

---

So I install Kies 3! But Kies 3 also can not communicate properly with my S4.

---

Kies 3.2.14013_45

The connected device is not supported by Kies 3.

----

The Kies for Mac that is available at Samsung's website can communicate properly with my S4 but it also does not see the latest FW. So it seems I'm stuck with MH3.

The reason why I asked is because some times your carrier will have your s/n on their system. Your imei is based off of your s/n and each phone has their own serial number. You could try to ask your carrier if they have it on file or not. Other than that, I would have to do some digging around for you to help you find it other ways. Btw…. Did you go to settings -->about device and see if it showed there??

im using E300S running in 4.2 already rooted..
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Root Android 4.3

Nope. I do not have kitkat. I have the E300K and it is not released for it yet. I wish. LOL. But I have rooted 4.3 though without a problem. It was really easy to do as well. The way you do it is to do the following: (and this may work on kitkat as well)

1) Go Here and download it to your computer then extract it.

2) Go Here and put this file on your phone.

3) Connect your phone to your computer and then put your phone into download mode.

4) Open up to folder that you just created when you extracted the cofface file and start up Odin.

5) Put the .tar file in the Cofface folder in the PDA portion of Odin and then press start.

6) Once it passes, reboot your phone into Recovery Mode (Vol up + home + power)

7) In Recovery Mode, go to root phone and click on new method.

8) At this point you can put a new kernel such as Immortal Kernel, which you can download Here in the .zip format for CWM.

9) THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!! WHEN YOU REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM FROM RECOVERY MODE MAKE SURE THAT YOU CLICK ON YES AND THEN YES TO THE WARNINGS THAT IT GIVES YOU. It will tell you that your rom will over write the new recovery, would you like to fix? and I can't remember what the other one states, but still click on yes. After this, you can now put any recovery that is compatible with your device. I personally use Philz touch since he stays up to date with all of his sources and builds.

I hope this helps you guys out. I am pretty sure that if you use this same method on KitKat, that it will work as well.

Oh, and to get rid of any Knox notifications, there is an app on the play store called Knox Disabler. This will stop those messages from showing up again. Now, I would suggest putting a different Recovery on your phone because the one that is provided to root the phone does not keep that setting saved for you about fixing the root permissions.

Hope this Helps.

With the method i posted you are not using anything other than the recovery image for CWM, this will not soft brick your phone at all. I have already done this method on a few people's phone already at work. All of which were running 4.3 and 4.2.2. So if you tried my method and got soft brick then there is something you are doing wrong my friend.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Ok, update your phone via kies to a proper 4.3 firmware. You may have a mixed firmware version. I have seen this many of times. But even if you do you a mixed version, you can still root your phone. You just can't flash a modded kernel. If you do then you will soft brick your phone. If you would like help and would let me know a time to help we could team view and I could show you how to do it from my end.

Then do this if you don't mind reseting your phone. Go into the stock recovery and factory reset your phone and wipe the cache. After that your phone should be good to go. Hook up to kies and see if if updates. If it does not, then get the stock mh3 fw and flash through odin. Then use kies to update. If none of that works, then I would take it to get repaired.
