I am desparately trying to get S-OFF to work.

I have tried revone and moonshine ... several times varying results. I have changed ROMS various times as well

- revone always gives me a "-1", "1" or "6" depending on what variation of desperate steps I take in attempt to make it work.

- moonshine always gives me some sort of snarky comment indicating it has failed (also at various steps)

I think the root issue for moonshine is ADB not recognizing the device when it is supposed to.

revone i have tried from adb as well as strictly on the device via terminal command

at a complete loss at this point :confused:

You are @ unsupported update you need to be 1.26.502.12 and you are @ 1.26.502.15 you need to downgrade but foe that you will need to relock bootloader if you have unlocked via htcdev

FYI - Bugsy's site is down indefinitely so I got the RUU for 1.26.502.12 from this site http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/

what a wild ride this HTC One took me on. There should be more disclaimers on the S-OFF guides relating to this update rather than the HBOOT version - imo. That would have kept me from posting the question....

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmastahJay56:
Hi everyone I just recently purchased a used S4 the GT-i9500. Everything seemed fine until I got home. It detected my T-Mobile Sim fine but I could only access 2G data and could not connect to any WiFi network I came across. The rom was stock 4.2.2 and the phone was rooted pre purchase. So after fiddling around for a few minutes I discovered the previous owner had flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0 as his choice for a Custom Recovery. Now at this point I had decided to flash on a Custom Rom and of course I first made a backup before flashing on WanamLite. Now after attempting to flash it I immediately received a failure. I tried turning off the signature verification and it did not flash. Now in my frustration i attempted to wipe everything and tried flashing Omega Rom v14. Now i was able to go through with the installation and choose what I wished to install and when I pressed Install things went along smoothly until I hit the app SecSafetyAssurance.apk where it freezes. This is a bump that I've run into at least 5 times already. I changed certain options I wanted to install and eventually made it past this and I am prompted to reboot. Now when I do this to my dismay I just receive a black screen. Upon pulling out the battery and attempting to reboot I still receive a black screen. when I boot back into the Recovery and attempt to reboot the system from within TWRP it warns me saying No OS Installed Are you sure you want to reboot. Im at a loss of what to do. I have read about other members suggesting to use ODIN but I am very confused about how to access Download Mode in order to flash a stock rom from SamMobile.com. I could use a few tips or maybe a few options that I'm left with in order to obtain the operation of my phone again. I would like to get my phone back and Im sure some users can relate to how Im feeling so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advanced!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Well first thing is get the latest stock firmware for your variant from my sign and get odin 3.07

For download mode power off phone unplug,, press volume down home and power all together till something pops up and release then press volume up and connect to pc

Open odin click pda and select that firmware u downloaded start the process

For more info check my sign help thread link it has more options on the same

.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadeshmagic:
Flashing through odin is one option.... some users have reported that there were some hiccups when installing omega 14 because of the aroma script.....try a different rom...there are many others to choose from....or you could flash stock via odin as said on the earlier comment :) good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmastahJay56:
Feedback

Today I attempted to use ODIN to flash now I am still currently attempting this. When I press the volume down key, power, and home button it takes me to the custom recovery TWRP instead of download mode. The phone did this when I first purchased it. When I still had what appeared to be the stock rom it would always take me to the recovery. When I would use the volume up instead of down it would take me to the factory test mode now mind you this happened when the OS was still installed. When i try that combination now i just receive a blank black screen. Are there any other ways to boot into download mode?

I rooted my galaxy s4, OTA MF3 updated, I accidently installed Chainfire 3d and tapped 'install CF3D driver', and instantly the device reboots and stuck at at&t logo. i tried latest stock firmware to flash with Odin 3.07, but it says

<NAND write start>

<FAIL(Auth)>

.

also did factory reset but it stuck at the at&t logo every time.

what should i do!!

I sent my device to MobileTechVideos for JTAG brick repair and ROM/root upgrade.

do you think they can fix it with JTAG?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Please tell me this isn't the same guy from a few days ago with a different username.

If not. You did not accidentally install it! You have to click install and accept in the play store then install the drivers through the app. You intentionally installed it but you were too busy NOT reading anything that says that it is only compatible on specific hardware. Now you are screwed and have no way to fix it.

You are on MF3. Thee is no custom recovery on MF3. There is no ODIN flashable MF3 ROMs, there is no MF3 on Kies.

I installed Clockworkmod recovery and did the factory reset. isn't Clockworkmod recovery a custom recovery? so that means, i have to collect 400 dollars and switch the mainboard at at&t or should i wait until odin flashable MF3 comes out? i just bought galaxy s4 a week ago.

anyway i'll find my way to solve this even if that means i have to switch mainboard. thanks for replying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
If you are truly on MF3,you would not be able to install CWM.

It means that you have a $650 paperweight for the time being until you

A: Get it replaced

B: Get a new motherboard

C: learn ADB and can fix it with that

D: Try a J-Tag repair

E: Wait until the bootloader gets unlocked. If it is even possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
A: Yep

B: Would be better off getting another phone. I'm not sure if the NV memory is located on the Motherboard or not?

C: ADB might not be able to connect if he can't get the phone booted.

D: So far JTAG is a no-go on MF3.

C: Yep, but hopefully Samsung will release the full MF3 firmware (hopefully through KIES as well) that will be able to reflash the firmware to the phone.

I would say replace it or be screwed until MF3 firmware drops.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryujeff:
Noooooooooooo

Why did AT&T updated to MF3!!!!!!!!!! do if MF3 comes out, does that mean i can flash that with Odin?

i should say MF3 stands for Mother+F word times 3. anyway thanks for replying.

I sent my device for JTAG yesterday. they might not fix it :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
I'm sure AT&T views MF3 as a complete success. It's just the people interested in customizing and modding their phones (XDA minded people) that hate it.

When Samsung releases the full MF3 firmware, you should be able to use ODIN to flash back to stock. However, no one will know for sure until it is released. It has been a while since the MF3 OTA started to roll out, so if Samsung is going to release the full MF3 firmware, it should be soon.

As far as JTAG goes, I haven't seen a successful flash yet. I think the JTAG people are waiting for the firmware release as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
I thought J-Tag works for flashing MF3 but doesn't work for downgrade. It doesn't work for both?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryujeff:
Yay! thank you so much for at least giving me hope to fix my device. i was very experienced developer of galaxy a, you may never heard of galaxy a. it was released only in Korea. i thought galaxy s4 might be similar to galaxy a. i should've studied more. in Korea, we used to make custom roms flashable by Odin. XDA doesn't seem to have roms that are flashable with Odin. i used to make my own roms. please could you help me fixing my phone when MF3 releases? i don't know a lot about galaxy s4. again, thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
XDA is full of ODIN flashable Stuff. MF3 is just locked tight. We are working on some stuff to make it better for now until there is a bootloader unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryujeff:
Didn't know that! thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
This is from the thread when Aou was trying to JTAG his device...

well i finally got in touch with mobile tech and got a refund/explanation of our problem it seems the qfuse being blown is the main reason this is happening..

Unfortunately, we were not able to repair your device. The device's onboard EMMC controller was in a non-responsive state. It is advised to try out warranty replacement if possible or to search for a parts device and use it's mainboard for the swap.

The blown fuse is the reason JTAG (or ODIN / KIES) for that matter) can not revert the device to a previous firmware.

Once the full MF3 firmware is available, it will probably be possible to restore the device via JTAG to MF3, but as we know, the MF3 firmware is not yet available. Therefore, it can not be done (yet). And once / if it is released, there is no guarantee it will work until it is tried.

The quote from Mobile Tech above mentions swapping mainboards, but I don't think it will work due to the NV memory I mentioned before (but maybe it can?).

Anyway, the key seems to be wait until the full MF3 firmware is released or wait until / if the bootloader is unlocked. I think the firmware is the better bet and it isn't guaranteed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Switching out motherboards should be no issue. All that is being done is dropping it into the back of the screen, plugging in some flex cables, slap it back together and booting it up. I know why we can't downgrade, just didn't realize that a full system dump of MF3 was not enough for J-Tag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Well, be careful. The SGH-I337 (AT&T S4) has a locked bootloader, so only official firmware (signed by Samsung's encrypted key) can be flashed via ODIN. To complicate things, the MF3 update (which you have) made the previous firmwares unflashable via ODIN. Phones that did not update to MF3 (still on MDB or MDL firmware) have the ability to flash Custom recoveries and Roms because of an exploit called "LOKI". LOKI was patched when the MF3 OTA was released. So any phone on MF3 can not flash recoveries or ROMs at this point. ODIN is basically useless for the time being.

I highly suggest you read the "pinned" threads in the "general" and Q & A sections. Alsor ead the threads that have "MF3" in the titles. This will give you a good understanding of what your options are if / when you can repair your phone. There is a method being developed that would allow several custom Roms to exist on the phone (MF3), but it hasn't been tested or released yet. The thread about it is in the "general" section as well. However, again, it will do you no good unless you get your phone repaired / replaced.

I realize the physical action of switching motherboards isn't an issue, I was just wondering if it would do any good? If the NV memory remains in another area of the circuitry, or other memory remains that still has a part of the MF3 bootloader structure intact, switching the motherboard by itself won't do any good. If all structures of the MF3 bootloader are included on the motherboard, maybe it would work.

Also, last I knew, bootloaders can't be pulled via system dump. They have to be obtained via official firmware release. In the case of MF3, the bootloader parts from the OTA can't be combined with a system dump from a post OTA MF3 device because of signing issues. It just doesn't work. It's been tried. I know there are a couple of MF3 Tar balls floating around but they are only good for parting out. Aou has tried a bunch of this stuff. Honestly, I do not know 100% of the technical reasons why it won't work. I have a pretty good understanding but that is it. Truly, the MF3 Bootloader is the problem and until the full, official, MF3 firmware is released from Samsung (or a signing key is released / leaked) I don't see much happening in the area of repairing / restoring bricked MF3 devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
It shouldn't remain. The only other parts that are separate from the motherboard and screen assembly. Are the charging port assembly/flex,the camera, the softkeys/home button assembly and the back housing that just holds antennas. None of that should have anything on it that would hold any residual MF3 data. Even if something did, it would have to hold the whole update to possibly do any kind of damage in eras of installation and blowing the Qfuse. If it did not and it blew the fuse without updating, it would instantly render the device useless if the motherboard had MDL on it.

All data is stored in the motherboard.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
That ROM does not include the MF3 bootloaders. That is why it can be flashed and then the phone can be flashed back to any other ROM, including MDL based ROMs. There are a few MF3 ROMs (without the bootloaders) floating around and they are generally safe to flash. It gives users the benefits (if any) of the MF3 OTA without blowing the qfuse. You have to be on MDB or MDL to flash that or any other ROM at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ryujeff:
So...i can't flash this? is it impossible to extract MF3 stock firmware into tar.md5? i've seen people extract their ROM from their phone and make a Odin flashable ROM. Does the locked boot loader make it unable to extract or flash?

Make sure your carrier turns on 4g LTE. I swapped phones from my 4g Samsung captivate to the 4g LTE note and my speed was super slow. I went into ATT and they said they had to turn on 4G LTE that it used different towers. Right after they did that my Note was much faster on the web

I imagine you would need twice as much system memory available. And a recovery system that could handle two different roms.

I believe there's a dual-boot system for the Note-2. However, one of the ROM's must be the factory ROM.

On Atrix 2 and Razr you can use Boot Menu Manager from the play store. I've had 3 roms installed simultaneously, and it worked great. It boasts of more but in general I never really used more than 2 at a time. The great part was, that you could keep a solid runner on system1 and run your test roms on systems 3-6.

Hope this helps.
