You need to use Odin to install a recovery. ..and a rom...

You are currently in limp mode. ..

Be careful. ..you are 1 step away from a brick. ..

Go to the development section and study up with ODIN. ..then prepare the PC to run it. ..

Once Odin functions...prepare the device. ..

Your goal is first a working recovery. .. (TWRP or CWM)....

Then a suitable rooted stock rom...

For now. ...make no more attempts until you understand these functions. ..or you "will" brick the device. ..

I'm not trying to be rude or condescending. ..I'm trying to save your phone. .g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdeazy:
That is the problem I dont have a recovery to use! so wut do i do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
He just told you, you have to use odin to push a recovery. That shoulldve been the first thing you did, but it's what you need to do now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rsfinsrq:
Maybe use Kies firmware update and initialization to restore to stock and start over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdeazy:
i have all of that stuff but the phone wont connect to the odin. I downloaded the drivers from samsung and I now have a recovery file Odin just wont pick up my phone at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdeazy:
is there a way to load a recovery from my sd witout using odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
I don't think so, you're going to have to find out why odin isn't recognizing your device. Maybe Gregg can chime back in but until he does I would suggest re-downloading the sammy drivers and see if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] el_chiefo:
Are you putting your phone in Download Mode ? Turn off phone, hold down the HOME key, Volume Down and Power Button. You should boot into Download mode, this is what you should be in order to use Odin. Then follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 to return you to stock or flash a custom recovery if you like to stay in a custom rom.

Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Agreed. ..

If the device drivers are correct. ..and Odin can't see the device. ..then Kies is a last resort. .

You should also try another cable as well. ..

Cables must be OEM...or of the same quality. ..and for the same device. .

If these attempts fail. ..continue to try again. ..

The device isn't dead...and if download mode exists...You will beat this issue. ..

Never give up. ..just keep at it. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jon3sh:
If Odin can't see your device it only means one thing you don't have proper drivers for it. Reinstall drivers and try again, as long as you can access download mode you are good.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
Odin was created by a samsung dev.

It was originally used.....for basically the same thing we use it for . So basically sammy made it.

U think there will be a new version soon?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
Hard to say really . I mean even the recent updated version w/e it is isnt much diff from the previous other than the interface changed a bit.

I think chainfires mobile odin has been the only real advancement/new version.

I tried to research odin once and theres not much info other than what i know about the odin software used to run windows nt programs natively. Odin was and is initially a windows based program and afaik our odin is the same or based on this. Someone should start a real odin thread ( theres a couple but there just peeps asking what is odin :p)

im actually interested in its history now that ya brought it up. Afaik the story is a sammy dev leaked it to someone to flash a rom or something? I wonder if [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] knows the true history behind odin and how it got into the hands of xda devs and noobs like me. :beer:

Can anyone help with unlocking this device? Also looking for a ROM/radio upgrade...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chrisngrod:
[YOUTUBE]iZCWBXFdU8Y[/YOUTUBE]

I recently had the pleasure of checking out this case from Jison. After opening it up images of purse and furniture stores popped into my head. The materials looked premium and it passed the new leather smell test.

Anyways, prior to this I have only had my hands on some Spigen products as far as leather products go. It seems that Jison is very focused on a certain market, and they appeared to have produced a rather delightful product for that market.

The design gives you the S-view opening (although slightly obstructed towards the edges). Some of the device may be subject to damage during the event that it comes down on the top edge or bottom edge. However, the people that it was probably marketed towards may not be tackling mother nature while using it.

NFC works (not perfect, but it can get the job done) and my QI pad can still charge the device.

I'm so tired. I think I covered the rest in the video.

Manufacturer's Description:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Takenover83:
So many... My head is spinning. Between Touchwiz and AOSP, there must be atleast 50 different roms.

I have tried a couple of both, but I never will get around to trying some that truly deserve my time.

I know I can answer my question myself. Which ever fit's my need's best. But that does not make the task any less daunting, when you have entered a self indused mine field.

I have decided to stay on Touchwiz. As going to AOSP is actually a downgrade when it comes to features. Is there a De bloated, blacked out (inverted) TW I am overlooking? Currently on Synergy which is a very fine rom in it's self.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PenguinxEnjoi:
Use your phone extensively and whenever you see something you don't like, write it down, (or put in your memo app), and once you get to 10 things you don't like or wish you had, look for a rom that has most of the things you wrote down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
My advice - Flash the most supported, professional, and popular TW ROMs (there are only a few) and try them to see if you like them. Make sure to make TWRP backups before flashing another one so you can just restore on of your backups once you've decided which ROM you like best.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon12:
I had the same dilemma a couple weeks ago when I rooted and flashed.

I simply went with the original and the most frequently updated - CyanogenMod.

If you are looking for other roms, look for a mix between CM/AOKP/PA. Probably the best in terms of features

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WoodburyMan:
Looks like you didn't flash the proper version of TWRP and flashed one for one of the other versions of the S4, 9500 or 9505 which have unlocked bootloaders. A special version of TWRP is made for the SGH-I337 because of its locked bootloader which contains the Loki exploit to allow it to boot.

Download Odin and the Stock Firmware, install USB drivers for phone, drivers are included in Samsung Kies or you can get them seperately

Put phone into Download mode

Restore stock firmware.

Use this to Root your phone and install the proper TWRP in one blow. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297900

Use TWRP to flash any SGH-I337 Rom you want if thats what you were going to do, as long as it has the Loki patch. (Current CM10.1 does).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheZander:
Hello I have messed up my Sprint S4 quite a bit I am posting in case anybody would be nice enough to shoot me some pointers. I hope I following the guidelines here.

Things I did that screwed up my L720 :

First I installed the hotspot mod via filesystem on the phone. ( this didn't seem to harm anything though but worth mentioning )

Second I took it upon myself to delete some system apps ( this is what seemed to messed me up)

Third I factory reset the phone ( now all is hell)

Notes:

The reason I factory reset the phone is that when I would try to install a new app from the play store that would not work.

Now when the phone boots it optimizes 122 apps then goes on to give me an alert box I believe for each one saying it is busted overlaying the samsung account wizard thing. And it doesn't let me past the boxes.

I never enabled USB Debugging

Attempted Solutions:

I tried to re-root it with the CF Auto Root thread using ODIN but that doesn't seem to help.

Then I wanted to download that Samsung-Updates.com-SPH-L720-SPR-L720VPUAMDC-1365579188.zip file from that thread and follow that tutorial but hotfile lost connection and is now having me wait 30 minutes before I can attempt to download it again.

I figured during this time I would post my problem seeing if anybody had a quick fix. That I am not thinking of, possibly some kind of recovery deal. Not that I have ever backed anything up.

Thank you for any suggestions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
Pull the power plug on your router for thirty seconds then plug it back in again. That will give you another ip address. Restart browser and make sure you clean all history and cache and cookies. Now go back to download mdc again or try a mirror. Flash in Odin then reboot back into stock recovery and do a full factory reset wipe. That should put you back to stock. Next time, don't be as careless removing things or you'll be in another mess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TheZander:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You really shouldn't be doing anything heavy while the phone is recharging. If you're simply texting or browsing it should be okay. There are no methods on how to safely charge a phone. Just charge it whenever you need to and there's no need to calibrate the battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] la0tzu:
The only safe way to charge your phone the first time is to charge it using an extension lead into the garden. Dig a hole at least 2 metres deep and sink a lead box into it. Drill a small hole big enough to get the power lead through then put your phone in the lead box, connect the charger then seal the box with a welding torch.

Fill the hole in with more concrete then build a concrete structure 6m x 6m on top.

Finally plug the extension lead into a power socket in the house, wait EXACTLY 191 hours and your phone will be ready to use, just dig it up and enjoy. :good:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxKINGxX2580:
Yes, you can. but be aware that you will lose t mobile features like wifi calling which is really useful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: wifi calling

He will NOT loose Tmobile wifi because he never had it, if he has an AT&T unlocked phone and

odin flashes any tmobile rom there will be no wifi calling because AT&T network itself does not offer it.

The only way he will have Wifi calling would be if he switched from the AT&T network to Tmobile network.

No one will have wifi calling regardless which rom they flash unless they have a tmobile sim card.

hope this clears things up a bit.

I have a T-Mobile phone I use on at&t network ...flashing at&t stock firmware wont lock my phone right ..and should be able to flash back to T-Mobile stock firmware if I wanted to right..wont relock sim or bootloader....thanks guys
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: locked/unlocked

Nope, it won't lock or re-lock your phone, once a phone is unlocked properly it will stay that way

regardless which rom you flash and regardless if you're on the AT&T network or Tmobile network.

Do not Odin flash the AT&T stock firmware on a Tmobile phone even if it's unlocked.

If you do you will not be able to make or receive any phone calls.

You can flash AT&T or Tmobile CWM/TWRP flashable stock or custom zip file roms because

those do not contain the radio/modem images like the Odin flash firmware do.

If you odin flash back to stock Tmobile firmware you will loose root unless you re-root after flashing.

As far as bootloaders go, a Tmobile phone requires a Tmobile bootloader, but you don't need to worry

about that if you flash the stock official tmobile firmware with Odin.

All the other tmobile and at&t cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms found in these threads don't contain

any bootloaders that's why they can be flashed on any unlocked and rooted tmobile or at&t phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kc2koj@hotmail.com:
so the hardware is different is that why you cant flash att stock firmware with odin on a T-Mobile s4
