[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
Hello,

I've been reading as much regarding this issue before I've posted this thread. Please don't attack me because of my lack of knowledge, I'm trying. Thanks.

I recently rooted and installed a custom rom on my SGH-I337, Slimrom was the name of the rom. It worked perfectly, until I decided to upgrade the rom version. I downloaded the update on my phone, rebooted to recovery and flashed the zip. Rebooted my phone, and I'm stuck in a boot loop. No Logo, No recovery, I do have download mode.

I had read that odin flashing the stock rom would fix my issue, so I had done that. I flashed I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT successfully. Odin auto-rebooted....to a boot loop. No recovery, No image on my screen while charging, etc.

I had also read that odin flashing TWRP might fix the soft brick I'm experiencing, I downloaded the latest .img from TWRP and converted it to a tar using Cygwin. Attempted to flash it to have Odin tell me it failed.

Does anyone have any idea's or advice how I could get back to a working environment recovery?

Thank you for your time reading this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
when you flashed the rom update, did you do any sort of wipe as well?

when you flash the stock firmware via odin, you have to boot into the stock recovery afterwards and wipe data/factory reset to complete the process or you will be unable to continue. you may want to try that process again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
Thank you for the speedy response.

When I originally flashed the rom update, I did NOT wipe anything.

When I flashed stock firmware, I could not get into stock recovery via three buttons.

Thank you.

Pull the battery, put it back in and try recovery again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
Thank you for the advice, I have done that countless times. I'm hoping that it changes one of these times though.

I took your advice regarding re-flashing the image and ticking the bootloader update option, odin stated it was successful and auto-rebooted. I pulled the battery and tried to enter recovery, no cigar.

Perhaps try the Heimdall route: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2374441
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
When attempting to flash TWRP recovery, my phone says in the top right hand corner:

Odin Mode

Product name: SGH-I337

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

CSB-OEM_CONFIG_LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled

SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery

Don't know what that means.

I haven't tried the heimdall method yet, not sure if I wanna give it a shot because it seems a lot more complex only to accomplish the same thing odin would. I can imagine something is stopping odin from putting a bootloader, or kernel. That same thing would stop heimdall. But, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Waiting to hear more advice before I make the hole I dug deeper.

Thank you for your time guys.

Try flashing the loki patched recovery from this thread. Link is in OP.

Just extract the img and make it a odin file. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
After flashing stock via Odin, when you use the 3 button combo to access recovery, are you releasing just the power button when the device vibrates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
Thank you for the advice Febby, I have downloaded the file you suggested. This was actually the first recovery I had when I had tried to update my rom version. I converted it successfully to a tar and attempted to odin it over to my phone. I'm receiving the same error I had earlier, Secure Check Fail: Recovery.

Thank you for the suggestion though, as I think this is in the right direction of what I need to do, I don't know how to get past that secure check though.

Correct, I am.

I am receiving absolutely no image on my screen other than when I enter Download mode.

Thank you for the suggestion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
damn im sorry it didn't work. Samsung is just making this device more and more unpleasant to own. I actually considered switching to a ONE today.

You can always try exchanging it via att warranty (free). :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Indeed the "easiest" way to correct this would be via a warranty claim... but would take a couple days.

Otherwise, when you said "updated the ROM" ... How did you go about updating it? I assume you downloaded a .zip from the forums here, and installed it through recovery. But if you somehow, by some miracle, managed to download the MF3 update OTA... that would explain many things.

Also, there's an MDL recovery located over in this post. It's odin-flashable, and works on my device pretty well. Maybe it will get you back to at least having a recovery?

Also, Odin will reject the installation of TWRP like that. Tried it myself once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
No no, no need to apologize, I have been looking in the ONE as well haha, but I'm already looped into two years, so its probably not going to happen. I have a tiny cracked screen so they won't allow me to exchange it. =( Thank you for your ideas though!

Correct, I did update my rom via a zip file, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a MF3 update as I am familiar with the problems that's been causing.

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...mo/3774-slim-d2att-4-2-2-build-7-5-weekly-596

That would be the link to the exact download I tried to update too.

I'll give that a shot with your link and let you know.

Thanks again guys.

EDIT: Tried the MDL Recovery, No Cigar. Though that thread is pretty interesting, gonna give it a read when I have the time. I need to get out of the house, this problem is driving me bonkers. Thank you guys very much for your advice and support, I would have went crazy hours ago if it wasn't for the intelligence provided by this forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Te3k:
Hey, don't despair! Last time I was here I used Odin to reflash my stock firmware, and also the stock kernel. Did you try reflashing the stock kernel yet? That got me right out of it.

Strange that you can't get into any sort of recovery menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Does kinda sound like a kernel problem, I think... Might try just flashing to Kernel to see if it gets any further. You could do that via Heimdall (if you have it setup), or by modifying a copy of the MDL Odin package (e.g. delete everythine but the "boot.img" kernel file, and remove the .md5 extension).

I hope your break is refreshing. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
that would be the worst mistake of your life. my wife has a One. stock, its like an iphone. rooted, there isnt 10% of the activity/development in the One boards that there are here so that makes life with a rooted htc device even more boring than a regular day with an htc device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Te3k:
What I did is just google around for my stock kernel, which came in a .TAR file, and was immediately Odin-flashable. That might be even easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Either way. Also, if one fails, try the other of course. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
I converted the .img to a .tar and I sadly had the same results =( Thank you for the idea though, definitely helped.

Thank you, I attempted to reflash the stock kernel included in the MDL package. No avail. Same problem. Good advice though!

I just reflashed the stock kernel, no cigar =( It is very strange to me that I can't get the phone to respond to anything other than download mode. Especially considering that I odin'd to stock. I'm starting to think I made it worse by going back to stock after flashing slimbean's weekly update.

Thank you for your time guys, keep the ideas coming, I'm definitely trying to come up with my own ideas.

I have so far done the following:

Odin'd MDL, MDB, Stock Kernel, Stock Recovery (All through download mode, as I don't have access to recovery.)

I've also tried to odin TWRP but I fail in Odin since download mode blocks the illegal recovery.

Thank you again for your time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
Im not so sure how everyone just over looked this but the rom in that link is for the att S3. So you flashed an S3 rom to your S4. :(

D2att is the s3 for att.

Jflteatt is the att variant.

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/620-jflteatt

Thats the correct link to weekly roms for slim rom for our device. :( your partitions might just be corrupted in case maybe having a jtag or using the pit file for MDL would fix? :/ im not an expert haha just observations. :)

You sure? On the att one majority of devs dont post on the att htc one section but eather "HtC one" section since all roms work vice versa on that phone international roms > works on all models of the one. :p

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tom_callahan:
Trust me, try the heimdall method I had posted. I had issue upon issue with getting ODIN to work, so I finally gave up and spent time learning about heimdall.

Once I got it all figured out, heimdall fixed my issues on the first go around, no games, nothing. It's very easy to use, especially if you follow my sequence of commands.

If you aren't on a Mac, just remove "sudo" from the beginning of each command line I posted (sudo is a unix/linux command)

If you want any assistance, I can create a MS Lync web conference and walk you through it as well, let me know.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
damn... all those ROMs looked great I guess when you're on the other side till you're there. haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Just a quick note: if your device needs to be re-partitioned (using a .pit file), be absolutely, 100%, without-a-doubt sure that you've got a pit file for the correct device. Messing that one up would result in a hard-brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
+1. Don't mess with a pit unless you really know what you're doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
I appreciate the advice, the pit file I found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2323019

Looked promising, but as soon as I tried to push it to my device I got the same bloody error I did with trying to replace the recovery.

Secure Check Fail: PIT

Looks like my bootloader is still blocking my phone from being updated. =(

Do you think there's a probably signed samsung bootloader friendly PIT file that would be able to fix my partitions?

I had a giant smile on my face until it read "FAIL".

Thank you for your time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tr10:
Hello,

After hours of failing at ODIN, I'm going to give the Heimdall route a go, I'm trying to figure out how to flash a .pit file via Heimdall, I'm following this tutorial: http://andmod.blogspot.com/2013/02/tutorial-flashing-i9000-i9100-or-i9300.html

But it's not for a SGH-i337 and I don't know if the partition files are in the correct order for our phone. I don't wanna take the chance until I know for sure. Do you have any input on this?

Thank you for your time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tom_callahan:
The PIT file output you posted above looked fine, I wouldn't try flashing another PIT file. Flash BOOT, SYSTEM, and CACHE, then reboot into Download mode, and flash RECOVERY. See if that gets you somewhere.

If that fails, I'd literally try flashing each partition one by one with the files from the ODIN restore. ABOOT, HIDDEN, MODEM (btw, use --MDM for modem), HLOS and everything...

I notice that you need to delete and re-pair the bluetooth devices, in order for activeysnc to work. Sometimes even to the extend of delete/re-pair 3-4 times before it responds.

Hello,

I'm trying to get my phone working as a MIDI controller/keyboard for my computer (music software like reason 7 etc..) but I can't really find any good tutorial, except one on YouTube using the app musical pro but the app force closes when using his way. Anyways, does anybody know a way to connect it (WiFi/USB), I'd be so happy if I can use it. I also checked out an app called ''EMC easy midi controller v2'' (not in the play-store anymore), for that you had to connect your phone using Bluetooth to the computer, but my computer can't find my phone and the other way around as well (win 8) and I tried a lot of trouble shooting. So:

-Does anybody have a way to use my phone as a midi?

-Can anybody solve the Bluetooth issue?

Thanks in advance! (I hope this is the right forum to ask this)
