[LG Optimus G (International)] RodneyBR:
I rooted my phone and just tried freegee to unlock the bootloaded and now the phone is stuck at the LG logo. I somehow managed to get it into download mode, but have no idea what to do to recover the phone at this point :( HELP PLEASE

See attached image below.
[LG Optimus G (International)] RodneyBR:
Used the LGMobile Support Tool to recover the phone :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] davevinci:
Glad u solved ur problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeneyez15o:
Stupid question coming up.

1st of all I think this phone is Gggrrrreat its fast havent had any issues. . . But unfortunately it looks like we're stuck on stock roms or at least 4.2.2. Roms. Y is it so difficult to unlock our bootloader ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
THIS IS ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR USERS WITH KNOX BOOTLOADER [MJA+]

MF9 USERS CAN STILL USE THE APP SAFELY TO FLASH MF9/MJA FIRMWARE/RECOVERIES/KERNELS AS IT CONTAINS NO BOOTLOADER FILE

Also MF9 users should STAY AWAY from tz.mbn for now. It may contain Knox as well

Heimdall Suite is also a GREAT ODIN replacement, as it doesn't require you to make tar files. It will even flash .img files through download mode

If your dialer freezes and crashes when you make/receive calls, this will fix it

If you somehow can't get back to MJA baseband after the downgrade attempt to MF9, now you can!

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

ALL NEEDED FILES ARE INCLUDED! Bootloader NOT Included

1 - Download 'Heimdall Suite' with all files needed HERE: Heimdall_Suite-MJA_Firmware.zip

2 - Extract Zip to Somewhere Safe :)

3 - Put your phone into download mode and plug it in

4 - Click the 'Drivers' folder within the Folder you extracted and click on 'zadig.exe'

5 - In 'zadig.exe' Click on the 'options' menu drop-down and select 'List All Devices', Then From the drop-down menu of devices, choose 'msm8960', then select 'Replace Driver' and wait.

6 - Open 'heimdall-frontend.exe'

7 - Click on the 'Utilities' Tab and press the 'Detect' Button

8 - Select the 'Flash' Tab

9 - Select 'browse' under the 'pit' section and locate the 'jfltespr16gb.pit' file located in the 'firmware' folder of the extracted folder

10 - Press the add button and browse for the .bin or .mbn for the selected Package file.(All files Located in the Firmware Folder)

11 - Press The 'add' button again to add more firmware files(one at a time, select the package file code to the corresponding firmware file, then browse for the file)

12 - After Selecting All The Firmware Files, press 'Start' and wait for it to reboot

Firmware Package File Codes:

[COLOR=Lime]APNHLOS = NON-HLOS.bin
MDM = modem.bin
RPM = rpm.mbn
SBL2 = sbl2.mbn
SBL3 = sbl3.mbn[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Red]TZ = tz.mbn [/COLOR]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mudavo:
Thanks! So this will upgrade me to MJA modem and firmware without the new bootloader? I'm still on the MF9 bootloader and want to keep it for now!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
I left aboot out of the files for a reason ;) but this is mainly intended for users with the Knox bootloader who have the issues I've had. It will definitely upgrade/downgrade firmware files a lot more successful than Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tiger5969:
You don't want to do that because you would end up without sound stay away from mja modem and firmware and bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mudavo:
Right. Well aware of the sound issue. I just missunderstood and thought this was a fix for sound issue on MJA modem with MF9 bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Well although I do believe that is kernel related, you could always play around with the firmware files included, just stay away from aboot.mbn and you'll be safe from Knox bootloader

Edit: Although sbl2 and sbl3 stands for secondary boot Loader, I was able to downgrade/upgrade those. So I'm pretty sure they aren't the actual bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] linuxgod05:
this works great!!! thankyou so much your a life saver only one mod to the directions at lease for me I had to flash each one at a time. I was unable to add all and flash all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
[Q

I chose to use all of the files in the firmware folder. (modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl2.mbn, sbl3.mbn, and tz.mbn)

[/QUOTE]

I have had the sound and dialer issues as well as wifi issues. Seeing that you used all the files in the firmware folder, could this potentially fix the wifi issue also? I know of the wifi fix which I was planning on flashing but if this could fix everything in one go, I'd rather go with this.

Any suggestions?

Are you full mja? Bootloader and all? If so, go flash the stock Mja rom from the developer section, it works great

Wifi is 100% kernel related. That Wifi fix resolves wifi data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
I am full MJA, bootloader and all. I'll give the MJA ROM a try. I'm still learning all this (this whole fiasco has been an excellent learning experience).

I THINK I know how to do this but I'm guessing that I can flash this using PhilZ. Would that be correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Correct! Stay away from TWRP for it has a tendency to change your CSC to XAS instead of SPR
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cerj:
Negamann, just wanted to say thank you for helping us all out..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
Thanks for responses negamann. It is greatly appreciated.

I flashed the Stock 4.3 MJA ROM. It's up and running but I still have all the original issues, no sound, no dialing, no wifi.

I'm working through your guide and I have a question about step 10. Which firmwares go with which partitions?

Some are obvious and some I'd rather be safe than sorry. Let me know if I'm correct (Partition Name = firmware):

APNHLOS = NON-HLOS.bin

MDM = modem.bin

RPM = rpm.mbn

SBL2 = sbl2.mbn

SBL3 = sbl3.mbn

TZ = tz.mbn
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Those are correct. I'll update the first post later tonight, thanks :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
Thanks again Negamann.

I just realized that next to "File" in the "Partition Details" sections, It lists exactly which files are needed for each partition. I'm feeling a little thick.

I've got sound back and I can make calls again. Now onto the wifi fix.

Thanks again for all the help.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Uh oh. The phone was great, I just needed to try the wifi fix. Shut it down. Tried to start up in recovery. Nothing. I've been messing with it for the past 10 minutes and nothing. I think it may be bricked.

I'm learning a lot from this series of unfortunate events.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Does it boot into download mode? try plugging it in and wait for the battery icon to pop up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
It does nothing. Even plugging it in produces no charging light. It is dead. I've pulled the battery and letting it sit for awhile but I"m not hopeful. I'm searching around for ways to unbrick it, but it may be time to look at the Sprint website and see what I can do there. Maybe other people have been having issues with the OTA update and they'll replace it. It's worth a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
So what exactly caused it? just simply booting into recovery? did you flash anything after the firmware? did you select anything in the Heimdall app when flashing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
I'll recount everything that I've done with my phone:

Bought phone

Rooted phone and installed CWM

Used phone for several months

Updated to 4.3 OTA (I've learned my lesson)

Wifi stopped working on restart and after about a day of usage, sound and dialer also stopped working

Factory reset - still had the same problems

Rooted phone again using this guide.

Successfully rooted phone (again) and installed PhilZ recovery

Flashed the Stock ROM (Rooted) found here.

Restarted phone successfully. Still no wifi, sound, dialer

Flashed firmware using this guide

The phone was plugged in for about an hour before this attempt and had about 75% charge to begin with so it should have been on a full charge.​

As far as I know, I followed the guide to the letter. I didn't check or change anything (that I know of)​

Restarted. Sound and Dialer were functional again.

Shutdown to implement wifi fix

Could not restart. Nothing. Phone gave no response to any combination of button presses, battery removals, etc.

That's everything that I can think of. If I remember anything else I'll let you know.

My poor phone... :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
wow that's just crazy. did you try holding the power button for 20 seconds? just a long shot haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
I just tried holding the power button for 30 seconds. It didn't work.

It was worth a shot.

I'll be driving over to the Sprint store tomorrow. I'm hoping that other's have been having issues with the 4.3 update (regardless of rooting) so they won't look too closely at my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Well if it doesn't turn on, they can't tell. If they ask anything root, just play dumb and you'll be fine :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crios42:
I have no problem playing dumb.

Guys I'm so utterly confused I'm on android 4.2.2 MF9 running negalite just wanna get to android 4.3 with negalite can anyone just give me a clear answer sorry I'm kinda a noob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CyberpodS2:
Ok, first off there is no 4.3 Negalite rom yet. As for getting the mja modem installed but still running the 4.2.2 negalite (x-r10) that's another story. I did just that using the method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277480

Personally, Anyone that is waiting for their favorite rom to get updated to 4.3 might wanna wait on the modem. If your not completely sure of how to use the Odin method listed in that thread, odds are an easier route will come along in short order.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nissan52:
Thanks another thing do you know where i cnn download the 4.3 samsung keyboard with emojis or do i have to wait for the update? Or if you where can get the 4.2.2 keyboard that would be great too

I am on Sacs V3 MJA everything and I was wondering if this would get rid of that annoying message on bootup in the top left corner that says seandroid in red with yellow text underneath it which mentions something about the kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nfamisnme:
Whoa whoa whoa.......wait a minute..lol...am I going crazy or did u just say mja users with the Knox bootloader can downgrade back to mf9?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Absolutely not. Currently Knox bootloader is locked down. This is intended to fix issues when MJA bootloader users try to downgrade all other firmware

To be more clear, MJA bootloader users can downgrade any firmware with the exception of bootloader, but I don't suggest doing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] spincycle76:
I am trying to fix my phone using this method, After clicking to replace the driver it says it completes, then I open up the heimdall-frontend.exe and when I click on detect it says "ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device." Any advice on how to fix this? I really need to run this fix as I can't use my phone or speakers.

Thanks for any help!!

Got it to work on another USB port on the laptop, thanks for putting this out there for us, saved my tail! :):)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DirtyDavis:
Sorry if I sound like a complete noob. I try and not be but there is very little on google (edit: for the SPRINT S4) about the dialer/no sound issues thus far. I have been flashing for a long time but just recently got an S4. Was oldschool up until now... lol.

I am not familiar with Heimdall or any of the files it flashes as I came from an E4GT. Is there any way I can flash these with Odin?

I keep getting error 0xc000007b when I try and run the frontend. Before I copied MSVCR110.dll to sysWOW64 folder I was getting this error.

"The program can’t start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer." I can not for the life of me get this damn thing to work and I have a feeling this is just what I need to fix my no sound and dialer issues... I am almost literally pulling my hair out. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LastDeuS:
I just wanted to ask a quick question to make sure this guide applies to me.

I'm on stock 4.3 MJA so bootloader locked and everything.

Now I've tried downgrading to every firmware out there of course no luck so far but I really need to get at least an MDL or at least an MF9 modem on my galaxy S4 so can I use this guide to accomplish this?

Of course I also tried flashing the modem but same error as flashing the stock firmware 4.2.2

Thanks in advance and sorry for being such a noob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
You're probably just lacking the visual c++ redistribution files. try this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

I don't recommend downgrading anything. This app will definitely do it though, with the exception of bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LastDeuS:
Wow thanks for the fast reply well the thing is that I need to extract some info from the MDL or MF9 modem since the MJA won't allow me to

and then update once more to MJA

My last question is if I downgrade I can always go up to MJA modem if I experience the WIFI or SOUND issues mentioned in this post???

I can't imagine how a modem can cause this type of problems but I like explore every possibility before trying new tweaks.

thanks again!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Doing what your talking about will more than likely lead to the issues this thread resolves :)

hi,how can i use odin to flash fireware on my l720

when i used this,now , i can't found the device on odin
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Spider_Pig27:
Does the phone need to be on a Touchwiz ROM? or can it be on AOSP?

Im asking because im currently on slim and I tried it and it all went good but It still freezes while making calls and receiving.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
Sorry for the late reply, but Rom doesn't matter as this uses download mode to upgrade files

If I were on an early Lubuntu distro....what would be the syntax for heimdall from the CLI? Would it simply be be "Heimdall --modem modem.bin" ?

Something more like:

heimdall flash --resume --pit jfltespr16gb.pit --MDM modem.bin

need to restore mdc firmware with mja bootloader?

hey [MENTION=593681]negamann303[/MENTION] can i use this to restore back to mdc firmware on the mja bootloader i need to unlock leaving to mexico in a couple of days?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
you can! Bootloader on the other hand will be a no. Look at it like a different type of odin, except you don't have to make a package and can just flash individual files. the only downside is that there is no file verification(md5).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] omariscal1019:
Thanks... which files should i stay away from like the sbl... or just flash the mdm.bin and which one else... thanks [MENTION=593681]negamann303[/MENTION]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] negamann303:
If you're on mja bootloader, then it doesn't matter. If it's protected, it just won't flash(like aboot).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DanCandy:
I have 2 SPH-L720 phones.

Each running different versions of Slimbean. One is running 1773, the other 1760.

The odin method of flashing the firmware worked for 1773 phone.

It did not work for the other. Also, I followed the steps listed in OP, also did not work for this phone. The phone is able to vibrate, otherwise no audio whatsoever. You can open the dialer, you can dial, but when you place the call, the screen turns black and eventually the dialer will FC.

Any suggestions?

You must extract the files into a folder. I created a folder on my desktop and named it HeimdallSG4.

Once you extract it, follow the directions in the OP. Make sure you are on MJA firmware. I was on MK2 and did this. Almost bricked my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aktran9:
how about trying to Odin stock MJA. Then do a complete factory reset. For sprint, in the dialer ##RTN#. Let it reboot and reinstall factory settings. Then do the method at the beginning of this thread.

Did you try Odin back to stock MJA and then do a complete factory reset from your dialer, followed by the instructions in this thread?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] corsairius:
This was certainly the fix to a sticky problem

I've been at this for over 24 hours to get my phone back.

I switched to a new phone, but only recently moved data to a Sprint. I didn't realize that the PRL's aren't updated within 3rd party ROMs, but need the flexibility and control they give me. Downloaded ten ROMs and many modem files to attempt to recover the system after getting stuck in a Knox lockout. finally, lost sound and searched and experimented for hours to get here. Learned a lot, but would rather have read someone else' story. :) anyway, thanks!

After install the new rom, and choose the Basic mode, the O2 Active already installed (it won't show until you choose program---Active),

But once the o2 active show in the today screen, i can't remove it until i choose the `install type` to basic mode again..

Can't uninstall O2 active in remove programs

And I found out that After 'hardreset' , and install corparate mode, the storage is showing 4.85 MB in use

and SMS is work, but MMS and GPRS doesn't work..

And even the 'task manager' is not in programs

(by the way...the speed is much much faster than i choose basic mode)

Then i hardreset again and install in 'Basic mode'

Storage : 11.22MB in use

And SMS , MMS, GPRS..etc.. working fine

then i go to program---'install type'

and choose corparate mode without hardreset

Storage: 7.07MB in use

SMS, MMS, GPRS..etc..working fine (and the O2 theme still there)

but the 'install type', 'Active' and 'task manager' , Email and hotspot in programs has gone. The battery icon has gone also..

but the V2R o2ActiveUI v4.0 still in the list of ' Romove programs which i can't remove it.

So i just want to know what is the exact different between Basic mode and corparate mode?

Is it only the GPRS, MMS,e-mail setting and O2 Theme?

Does it worth to install Basic mode then corparate mode?(only 2MB different)
