All of these are 4.2.2, mdb, mdl, mf3. If you have the first two there's hope. If you have the last one, which I'm guessing you do, its no going to be so easy.

MF3 - and I'm learning that I might just have to be patient until someone releases a stock/bootloader MF3. Sucks to have this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fukenbiker:
Or perhaps the creeps in charge at AT&T will unlock the bootloader, that would get everyone up and running again. I've done my part to send them messages to that effect...(perhaps I should have not called them creeps, but I can't come up with a nastier term that is able to be printed politely.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Sankex:
Good afternoon people, i was the same problem and i can fixed.

my method is simple:

plug-in the cable in the computer and the phone, it dont charge but try to put in recovery and it stay in logo, then out the battery and when u see the letter blue of recovery, put on the baterry.

make factory reset and wipe cahe.

make software again with odin (rom original).

sorry for my english (i can talk whashinton too) jajajajajajaj
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrthink:
Confirmed?

Has anyone confirmed if this does, indeed, resolve the problem? If so, can that someone provide more specific details (i.e. step-by-step instructions with specific ODIN etc.)?

Odin will work if you don't have mf3 firmware. If you do, Odin will probably Bork your recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Shatterbox:
Best Buy now has the Samsung Experience area's at their stores. I can confirm the the techs there have the ability to force flash your phone back to factory unrooted settings. They use a program called Samsung Smart Tool which requires them to log into an account and connect to samsung servers to restore the phone. However I did it yesterday and it has worked and fixed all the errors that are associated with this issue. I can get into restore/recovery mode again and all is good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trusteelfan:
This fixed my S4 from trying to flash a recovery. I was stuck in download mode and could not flash the stock firmware through Odin. It kept failing. I flashed this fix in Odin and my Phone booted right up. Thank you very much. Spent several hours trying to fix this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Atrix2destroyer:
I had also flashed a recovery when rooted on MF3. I got back into my phone within 2 minutes of being brought back to odin mode. All you have to do is restart your phone into ODIN mode using power button and down volume key, then instead of proceeding to ODIN mode restart your phone. BAM back in!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] keywork:
Still no luck for a fix for this? I also flashed a custom recovery while on MF3, and now I'm having the same issues as OP.

I'm assuming my phone will fail during the next OTA update...is that correct? Any way to get the stock recovery back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] x3phyr:
Go and install safestrap recovery, it's fairly easy to find. I got a new phone today on an insurance claim and stupid ass me didn't do any research whatsoever and repeated what I did to work my older s4. Of course, ended up in no recovery. I installed that MF3 bootloader fix and then installed safestrap recovery and I have a fully functional phone that boots like a champ and has competent recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] navy2012:
How about using a usb jig, get into the download mod and flash a stock rom back onto the phone. Then can start over.

Will this work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SystemErrorOne:
you say

... so your saying you have a custom recovery installed on your att s4 ?

please explain
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Leavism:
USB jigs would not be useful in the situation. There are two things you can do. One is possibly go to a nearby Bestbuy and go to the Samsung stand where they can flash you back to stock and recovery. Two, you can jtag from mobiletechvideos.

MK2, having same problem.

I used Rom Manager to flash CWM, that took me to stock recovery every time. Then I tried TWRP using Goo. That actually caused my phone to fail boot, and go into Download mode. Flashing with Odin failed every time, but the Boot Into Download Mode, Cancel workaround worked to at least get my phone back into working order.

The fact that I started on MK2 rather than MF3 - does that make a difference? Do I have more options here? Odin still seems unresponsive...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Sina Irvani:
The Important point is the order:

Vol up then Home Then Power and after all that when u see the saumsung logo jus RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON!

hope i have helped...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chrispysaid:
No, you haven't really helped. Order isn't a factor here, the phone returns to Download Mode with the message "Could not do normal boot" even after following proper procedure for Recovery Mode. I think the recovery is either inaccessible or broken due to attempted flashing of custom recovery over a completely unwritable one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
It would be best if you slowed down, took your time to do some research. Then you would know that you can NOT flash any custom recovery to mk2 build other than Hashcode's Safestrap. version 3.71. Nothing else will work. IF your phone is really messed up you can now Odin back to stock as we now have FULL tar files available.

Please Read the following it will help you.

I just went out to get a Nexus 5 because of this same issue. I tried everything i could to get the phone to update or factory reset.

I guess the only solution to this is to be careful of what carriers you buy your phones from. Now i have a beautiful brick sitting on my desktop that's stuck on 4.2.2. What a waste. :(

Hi

Sorry for the dumb question, I dont want to root my phone (the Barclays app, I know it can be worked around) but do want to play with ROMS. All the instructions I've read say to root the phone, but do I have to to be able to put new ROMs on. Thanks a lot in advance.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ectoplasma22:
Yes you obviously need to be rooted to unlock your bootloader, to flash a recovery and to flash ROMs
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Allex42HD:
If you want to install Stock custom Roms like MagicRom you will need only root

but if you want to instal a Custom Rom like cyanogen-mod, miui you will need root and unlocked bootloader
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
It's true only if the rom doesn't have a custom kernel and most roms do. If the kernel changes, you need to unlock the bootloader. Also, you can't flash a custom recovery without unlocked bootloader.

Hi Faryaab,

This is a great ROM, love the Nexus experience,

but I noticed that the camera does not record stereo sound in 1080p video.

I noticed that on the S3 you have enabled stereo sound recording.

Could you please enable it on the i9100 as well?

I am desperate to use a non-Samsung ROM but not being able to record stereo sound is a deal breaker for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] projeto56:
Are you sure the stock ROM records in stereo? AFAIK the second microphone is exclusively for noise canceling, and works paired in low level with the main one to do it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] David-B-737:
Yes I am sure, it is the reason I picked the GS2 over a Nexus, I find it odd how I'm the only one who noticed.

The JB and ICS stock Samsung ROMs for the i9100 have this enabled, it was only disabled on GB.

Here are a couple of videos I shot with a stock Samsung ROM and kernel.

Video 1

Video 2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] projeto56:
That's interesting. Did it work on previous AOSP roms?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] David-B-737:
I remember CM9 for i9100 has it enabled, but it doesn't work on any CM10.x, I think they just haven't noticed, I posted about it once on their thread but I got no replies.

As for SuperNexus, it does not work in v2.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just use the link in the firs thread, and you should be fine. I use this ROM as my daily driver for 5 months now, and I also used it when I still had my S1 (9 months total). Very good ROM, but I still haven't flashed the 4.3 version (this) as it seems to have too many bugs. The developer is developing this ROM for a few devices, so he is quite busy. He doesn't really post much on this thread, which kinda sucks, but most problems you can find solutions for on the first few pages of this thread.

Overall, flash away. Best ROM I have tried for the S2. If you find it buggy, then install the 4.2.2 version.

Hope I helped.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aharnick2013:
What's going on with this thread? Faryaabs been promising a build 2 but hasn't done it. Has he abandoned this rom? Seems like everyone is abandoning his roms and using cm or aokp. Seems pointless for this thread. Or could someone take over to update it? Faryaabs been saying graphical glitches are because of Samsung, but how can that be true when cm10.2 builds work better. If 4.3 r3 latest build is used it might fix a few things. I'm no developer but we want 4.3 aosp please.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gaosphappy:
Thanks for your opinion! Frayaabs is ONE YOUNG GUY who has a go. Feel free to do better when your ready. Open your own thread build a rom for more than one device and keep it Up to date when the rom you based it on doesn't even exist. (4.3 on 9100) good luck with that look forward to trying it and giving you some constructive feed back just as you have here. WELL DONE!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aharnick2013:
Thanks for the encouragement. I did all of what you suggested. Its funny how a couple of minor build prop tweaks fix so many bugs. No graphical glitches now. Faryaab should take a look at his own build prop before passing the blame to Samsung. Their are now no graphical glitches and the gallery now supports jpg images. Feel free to ask me to upload my changes. Might even throw in new reading glasses as no one saw the original build prop errors.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Found this on Faryaab' twitter from 21 September: "I haven't stopped work on #SuperNexus but these days i'm just too busy to fix bugs and compile it."

My hopes are partially restored.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RusherDude:
It was like 3/4 weeks ago that he said "tomorrow Supernexuss 3 build 2!!", and since then SILENCE. A single input on Twitter and 0 activity on this thread sux :(

There are roms out there considered dead with MUCH more activity from the dev than this one (and imho its a real disgrace since this was for me the best 4.1.2/4.2.2 by a huge margin, a single reason to have android).

If ya Faryaab read this, take it like it is.. as a Dev you deliver usually an AWESOME 10/10 product, we all are extremelly gratefull for your work. But in terms of "public relations", it seems that there's no one at the lead of this rom :(

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Actually its against the rules since the dev hasnt "officially" abandoned it and so but.. really nice try. You're completely doing what I asked for pages ago, just fixing the small bugs like graphics (like cm did) would be a decent build 2, but faryaab doesn't seem to ever use his room..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
We're all grateful for the free ROM, but it would be preferable to under-promise (or not promise) and over-deliver, rather than to not deliver.

One option would be to sell your SGS2 on eBay and buy a Galaxy Nexus on eBay. Similar specs, and you'll get a vanilla experience with timely updates, including Android 4.4 in two weeks. I'm starting to realise that it's not worth buying non-Nexus phones.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RusherDude:
Don't mix things up :P

Android wouldn't dissapear without this rom, even if for me it has been the best in previous versions. If you search you will find other roms that suit you, so you can still live without nexus.

Also are you sure that galaxy nexus is gonna get 4.4/5.0 the next week? (Yes I say 5.0 because I still think that the next version is 5.0 Key Lime Pie and Google is trolling us hard with the 4.4. KitKat joke :laugh:). Nexus S was abandoned at 4.2 launch... so don't count on Galaxy Nexus getting 4.4/5.0 now, and if it does, be happy because it will be the last one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
It will be 4.4 KitKat. In Australia, we already have Android branded KitKats in the supermarkets as part of the promo, so sorry to burst your bubble.

Also, Google has made references to "older devices" receiving 4.4, so I believe the Galaxy Nexus will receive the update. Who knows, maybe even the Nexus S. And yes, I agree that it will likely be the last update for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RusherDude:
It would still be possible that all the 4.4 KitKat is a trolling move and the next version is 5.0 :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Pumpino:
Even when Nestle has spent money on branding KitKats? You're dreaming. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] RusherDude:
Nestle already got a alot of advertising worth A LOOOT of money with this.

They have already recovered their money and much more, so they wouldn't give a damn if the new version isn't that one.

And Google likes to troll so it wouldn't be rare.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] igor45:

Glad to hear that this ROM is not dead yet. I've searched far and wide and this is the closest thing to vanilla AOSP that is available for i9100...

All other ROMs I've looked at or tried are too tweaked for my purposes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
The best thing you can do is flash SuperNexus 2.0 M1 which works beautifully, and wait for a fairly bug-free 4.3 or even 4.4 release. That's what i'm doing anyway.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Zamrock:
That is an option but this is the only AOSP roms that supports exfat, on my 64gb
