Try manually installing the drivers in Device Manager, usually that works for people.

All you can use on anything past MDL is Safestrap. You'll only get other Touchwiz ROMs.

Mk2 ★ full odin tar files ★ mk2 ★ | ★ unbricked

Just happen to find this while searching for MK2 TAR ODIN files on XDA Forums. Hope this helps those that took the OTA from MF3 to MK2 and soft bricked their S4's like I did. I was lucky that I was still under the 14 day best buy return policy and got it switched to a new S4 no questions asked. I'm still running my AT&T I337 stock rom. Don't forget to thank Ted77usa for posting this stock rom and all who have contributed to it. They well deserve it. If anyone flashes these files please post updates or a video actually flashing to see if it worked or not. Thanks MK2 ★ FULL ODIN TAR FILES ★ MK2 ★ | ★ UNBRICKED

So I've been a good little boy and been doing a lot of reading, but I still have one very big question I would like verification on.

I rooted my phone the day I got it last April. I am on MF3. Can I use Odin to flash my phone to MDL?

And then can I root my phone, install CWM and a custom ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
No you can't go backwards on firmware. You're stuck on mf3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nemesis500548:
Now I've read you can't go backwards if you did the OTA to get to MF3. So you still can't go backwards if the phone was shipped with MF3 installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
No the firmware trips a qfuse and you can't flash an earlier firmware

Hey guys - virgin noob post, but an avid follower,...

Have an I337 on MF3, rooted it but was a dumbass and deleted the Chaton which messed up the text to speech files,.... Tried to factory reset it before, but text to speech failed as if the app was not restored. I believe that I re-downloaded the app but I think the downloaded app file is not located in the correct folder.

Will the ODIN 1.85 and the current TAR files allow me to factory reset correctly?

Also, I really wanted to get the latest version of Android software,... is it worth the time for the upgrade? Or should I say is the software have enough features to make it worthwhile? Love to root and custom rom - but if I can't, want to at least have root on the latest decent version.

Thanks in advance !!

Can I Flash This??

I had updated to MK2 while I was rooted but no custom recovery. The MK2 update worked well but I still have the unlocked symbol at boot even though it is not rooted. Now the 4.4.2 upgrade downloads but stops at about 27% during install. It boots back into MK2 and says upgrade failed. Can I flash this firmware over MK2 and hopefully be able to install the 4.4.2 update? Thanks for any help.

Bricked AT&T Galaxy S4

I have an AT&T S4 that I purchased on its release date last year. I rooted and flashed CWM to load custom roms. I am currently running Liquid Smooth 3.0. I bought my wife an S4 so she could ditch her iPhone this fall. This morning I backed everything up so I could root and get her on the same setup I am as Touchwiz was less than desirable.

I first tried rooting with Motochopper, but quickly figured out that this didn't work with 4.3 being on it. So I then rooted using Saferoot. Once rooted, I tried to flash recovery with TWRP (didn't work) then CWM (also didn't work). Did some reading and was able to get Safestrap to load as a recovery. Thought I had it licked as I watched Liquidsmooth 3.0 appear to load, but quickly realized it didn't work. Did some more reading and found out that Safestrap only allows you to load custom Touchwiz roms. I apparently overwrote my main system rom slot, so I now only had the ability to boot into Downloading mode. Since I wasn't having any luck so I thought I'd revert back to stock rom. I downloaded stockfirmware from this post:

Would someone help please?

<SOLVED> (I went to AT&T and they brought it back to life for me)

So I downloaded Odin. I downloaded the MF3 Tars from this thread. I followed a guide recover my rooted phone to stock however during the Odin flash, it ran through a few functions and said "Fail" in red at the top of the Odin window. When I restart my phone it now shows the yellow triangle with the exclamation point and reads "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"

So...am I officially bricked? Would someone be so kind to steer me in the right direction to get this thing back working? It's my work phone :(

It's an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 that was rooted, and had 4.3 on it.

Thanks so much!

Not working for me :(

Hi all,

What a bunch of talented people you all are. Please allow me to tell you what I have going on and if there is a work around.

I downloaded all the files as posted in this thread. I had to use ODIN 1.85. Shortly after starting it fails and does not allow me to continue.

DEVICE : SGH-I537 (S4 Active)

Android Version : 4.2.2

Baseband Version : I537UCUAMF3

I had rooted the device to allow for the usage of the hotspot with ES FILE EXPLORER. I now pay for hotspot through AT&T which actually lowered our bill believe it or not and allows us 10GB of data. I did follow the unroot option using SUPERSU

My device has never been above 4.2.2. Can anyone help me, can it be reflashed back to stock so I can use the ATT hotspot rather than ES file Explorer?

I'm going to try one more time using the Odin Software (this will be the 3rd time) and then I'm gonna be done for now cause I don't want to kill my phone.

Any help is appreciated and yes I'm still looking through the forums and have read this entire thread which is why I decided to go ahead and attempt.

Thanks

Eric

I am trying to unroot my AT&T Galaxy S4 back to stock so I can apply the OTA updates. Currently I am rooted and running MF3 and cannot apply any of the OTA updates (fails at 25%).

So if I want to unroot do I Odin the MF3 tar files or would it be better to Odin back to the MDL version? Then I should be able to apply the updates?

You can't ODIN MDL as its an older version. It's better to just ODIN whichever version you want, MK2 or NB1.

No STOCK recovery

Hi folks,

I might have a problem that wasn't mentioned so far if I got this right. My S4 got stucked on bootscreen after I flashed CM11 from 10.2 so I did whats described in this thread here:

flash these files with odin I load up the files:

BOOTLOADER_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_ MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

CSC_ATT_I337ATTAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MUL TI_CERT.tar.md5

MODEM_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI _CERT.tar.md5

PLATFORM_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MU LTI_CERT.tar.md5

worked out perfectly, my phone is running without problems beside the fact that I can't enter the stock recovery mode (vol up + home + power). If I want to enter recovery mode the phone shows the blue text in the left upper corner for maybe 2 seconds but does a regular boot.

Does anyone know what went wrong here and how to get stock recovery mode back? I guess without the stock recovery mode I also can't do any updates to a higher stock firmware?

Thanks for suggestions

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
If you were running cm why did you flash mf3 firmware? You should have gone to sammobile and gotten the mdl firmware.

Oh well, you're now stuck without a custom recovery. You can always Odin a higher firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
You could always just flash a higher version through Odin, but otherwise just try the MF3 files again. I don't see why it wouldn't reinstall stock the first time but might as well try.

Back to Stock in Order to upgrade?

I have a rooted SGH-I337 running on Android 4.2.2 MF3. Since it's looking long in the tooth - I want to update to the latest- 4.4.2? on my phone

If possible I'd like to do the upgrade without wiping my data. I have a bunch of train tickets stored on MyTix that I will lose if I wipe the phone - they tie the tickets to the phone - rather than accounts -bright move :( I have the free version titanium backup but little faith I'll successfully restore MyTix.

I like having my phone rooted - (I use total recall) but that is a much lower priority I don't mind losing my root and bringing it back another time.

What's the best path forward? Do I need to return to Stock? If I use Odin I presume I lose all my data? Is there any safe way to completely backup and restore apps?

no not necessary but once the rom is up and running make sure u tick that option and enable developer mode as its considered good just like getting admin rights on windows.

I hope u understand for now , since any custom recovery is not working so no other option but to flash stock best is to get this dmg odex N7100XXDMG1_N7100ODDDMG1_N7100DDDMG1- Odexed - India it will help you in future too its just stock with root

if you already have other just proceed with that except a 4.1.1

are you sure that stock will flash, what if it fails like the twrp.

get into download mode and flash stock

What are you connecting over Bluetooth?

Most the 4.3 roms I've tried had little to no problem with Bluetooth. At most I had to reboot once a day to connect my Bluetooth stereo headphones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gunterm:
Just A2DP profile devices, my vehicle and 2 speakers and a set of headphones. After about 6 connections/disconnects is when it dies, usually after I connect and hit play; there's no audio and shortly after the app pauses and the BT status icon vanishes. Going into the control panel it acts like BT is off and won't turn back on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
BlownFuze's AOKP rom is supposed to be very good on bluetooth. At least that's what I've read in that thread. I'm just not a fan of AOKP so other than flashing it and going through the settings to see if it has what I want I really haven't used it more than a couple of hours at a time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joverclock:
unless something has changed in the last month it looks like new roms are all going to have this issue. It is my understanding that we dont have teh proper "driver" support for 4.2+.

i'm also not a huge AOKP fan, but it's the only rom i've used with stable bluetooth

Hi guys, I've been using AOKP for a week now.

I have the dreaded insane chip, that causes the sudden death syndrome.

A solution is to fill up the internal storage using the dummy file generator, that helped, but I'm still getting those.

I'd like to know if anyone has gotten AOKP to run stable on a I9300 with the insane chip, which version of AOKP are you running and if you did anything special to make it stable.

Kernels are always included in roms. This means if you flash a rom, you're also overwriting any kernel you had. So rom then kernel via recovery.
