Yes, thats actually the first thread I was following to get it done and it failed right off the bat.

Then I was wondering if I had the wrong thread or files so, looked elsewhere.

Phone was working perfectly before I decided to do this and that is where it started..downhill sense then.

I probably did that thread 3-4 times..all ending the same way but I can try it again if you think it will do any good

I also tried to run the VRUFNC5 Full-Wipe Verizon SCH-I545 4.2.2 562219 Stock Restore.tar.md5 in 3.07

and now its crashing ODIN..didnt do that before.

Runtime error application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way

The VRUFNC5 file might not work if mine is a VRUAMDK? just a guess?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
You are sure you are on MDK and 4.2.2?

[Edit]: The reason I ask is because it is failing at aboot.mbn which leads me to believe you are not on MDK. To be on MDK would mean you bought the phone in like the very first week of its release and never took an OTA, is this the case?

Sent from my Empty Galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tarheelbuc:
positive on the mdk...pretty sure on the 4.2.2 but, I cannot be sure at this moment

to my knowledge, he never did any other upgrades without me but, that might not be true!

Problem is, there is no way I can determine or check that with the phone in the condition it is right now...correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
If you are positive you are on MDK then you're on 4.2.2 as well and no, the NC5 files won't work. Try booting into recovery and wiping cache and wipe data/factory reset then try booting into download mode and running Odin again. Or if you have a backup in zip format on your external SD card you could try side loading that through recovery mode just select "install from zip" or whatever it says.

Going backwards now...YESTERDAY after this issue arose, I was still able to get into the ASR..today after trying to flash it again, not happening

NOW, yesllow triangle..firmware encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again

Of course trying that with Kies, it doesnt recognize the phone now.

Am I fighting a losing battle here? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
No. Plug it into Kies and try "emergency recovery" and "upgrade firmware"... One of those options you need to put a serial number in from under your battery, make sure you do that. Both processes will fail but that's ok. Immediately afterwards, try booting into download mode. I've gotten that stupid yellow triangle a few times and you pretty much just have to keep trying until you can boot into either download or recovery. I wish I could do more to help but it's more difficult to try to fix a phone that isn't in my hand, ya know. You'll be ok though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tarheelbuc:
Hey man, Iappreciate what help you have given whether it works or not lol!

After losing an entire day yesterday, it was good to get someone elses mind on it so whether it gets fixed or not...it is much appreciated. Just wished I had gotten on this earlier since it seems we are going to lose the trade in on friday but, oh well.

Now then, Kies has showed me what I hope doesnt mean what I think it means

After entering the serial and info, it says initialised version PDA:NG6 PHONE:NG6 CSC:NG6

Is it pulling that info from the phone or what it is trying to install?

However, when going to the firmware upgrade and initialzation and checking all the buttons to agree..start upgrade stays greyed out..like it is now not recognizing the phone

Going to reboot everything and try again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
You should be using Kies 3, just letting you know. While the phone is plugged in, go to tools/reinstall device drivers or whatever. Agree to everything and see if that gets Kies to see your phone.

Sent from my Empty Galaxy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tarheelbuc:
its a good morning!

Never was able to get Kies to recognize the phone, tried it on different computers, wouldnt complete the connection.

So, I went back to all the files I had dled and tried them again...all failed again. Then, I started trying random files for the S4 figuring it

couldnt get worse and I was looking at a bricked phone....oh well, S5 for 1.00 friday since its time for renewal for him and we lose the trade in.

No biggie.

After trying tons and tons of different files..this one worked

Took forever to go thru but, it finally took and passed and now she is booting up and from what I can tell, working fine. Has the samsung/verizon boot screen and seems to be fine! Now if I understand correctly, this will remove the "loki" exploit but, if this is going back to Verizon, cant see that it matters.

Other than doing a couple factory sets and wiping...is there anything else I should double check?

Thanks again for the help and hand holding, I was able to take a hammer to it to be quiet honest!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Good to hear. Sometimes brute force is what it takes and yeah, loki is no more if you upgraded the firmware/bootloader to NC5 but like you said, it's going back to Verizon anyway. In an earlier post you said knox counter was 0x0 so you should be good.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AVF Jay:
I picked up a Moto x (2014) and have noticed that headphones do not sit flush when connected to the phone and stick out a bit.

Is this normal or have I got a defect?

For reference I've tried different headphones and also tried the same headphones on an iPhone 6 plus, Galaxy s5, note 3, tab s and iPad 4 and it sits flush with all of those devices.

I've tried pushing down hard but gave up as I obviously don't want to break anything.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
Mine sits high enough that you can see some metal on the plug, but the sound is just fine.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcustom11:
It depends on the headphone casing but yeah probably. I have some Samsung headphones and quite a bit of the metal shows. It's mainly because the stereo port isn't recessed like in other phones.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AVF Jay:
Thanks a lot for the replies.

That's put my ocd to rest, I'd assume it's normal then.

Today I dropped my Nexus 6... And my case won't be here for another two days! The drop was from about 2 feet, the damage wasn't bad. Just a little scuffed up on the corners. Pictures below
[Nexus 6  General] land2634:
That just makes me cringe.
[Nexus 6  General] CaptainSpazzz:
When I ordered it from sprint they told me it was gonna be 1 to 3 weeks for the phone to get there that's why I didn't order a case sooner but the phone came in within 3 days.
[Nexus 6  General] rhug0323:
One drop, about 3.5 feet....
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Ouch! This phone is very slippery in dry cool weather and if your skin is dry. A little moisture and hand locks on like a magnet. Regardless, I'm looking forward to my case as I cling on to my N6 with a "kung fu grip" until it arrives
[Nexus 6  General] DukeBlue444:
I've had mine slip out of my shirt pocket two times on to a hard tile floor. It landed screen down both times. It's in a spigen slim armor case and there was no damage.
[Nexus 6  General] CaptainSpazzz:
Ouch. It must of landed on a corner pretty good. I believe mine landed backside down on the asphalt and slid. Fell out of my lap when I got out of the car. Hopefully its not to expensive for you to get a replacement.
[Nexus 6  General] rhug0323:
I don't know if getting a replacement is an option at this time. Probably putting it on ebay just to get it out of my sight.

Yikes. I bet quite a few people already have broken nexus 6's. Which would suck so bad.

Mine yesterday slipped out of my shirt pocket and landed on my foot. I was only getting up from my couch and the ground is soft anyway, along with my foot, so nothing at all happened.

Not gonna be putting it in this shirt pocket again. It's too big for the pocket haha
[Nexus 6  General] PaisanNYC:
It's funny, i was thinking the same thing earlier today. But I was expecting to see a bunch of "Google screwed us with a cheap screen. Only cheap glass breaks like this. I've never heard of any other phone screen breaking. This is not my fault in any wayl Google made the phone slip out of my hand!". But surprisingly, every one in this thread has acted civil. :)

[Nexus 6  General] kingsway8605:
Tell me the difference between the following:

(1) Dropping the phone, scratching something other than the screen, then putting a case on it so you don't have to look at the scratch.

(2) Always having a case on the phone just in case you drop it.
[Nexus 6  General] gorei23:
I CANNOT use cases or screen protectors, they will drive me insane.

If I put a screen protector on and it is visible in the slightest (SLIGHTLY off or the smallest bubble) then the whole thing is coming off, it's not happening.

Cases annoy me too, no matter how premium they feel it annoys me that I'm not using the phone how it was meant to be used.

The only case I think I could tolerate is Samsung's line of S-View cases as they feel like they're what the phone was meant to be.

I dunno, maybe I'm just weird?
[Nexus 6  General] 8Fishes:
I can understand the bubbles from a screen protector, but I don't understand how you can make something 'feel' premium. I don't even feel the 'premium' when I hold the N6 naked. Am I missing something?

For comparison, I've held pretty much every iphone as well. Along with cheaper chinese android phones. Windows phones. I don't know. they all 'feel' the same to me.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
spent one day with my N6 "naked", left the shipping screen protection on because i wanted to install the tempered glass protector on a virgin screen (that way you have zero bubbles or dust specks). This phone is so slick it's scary. It's also got a curved back so if you place it on any surface other than a perfectly flat or soft surface it can spin and slide off very easily. There is no way anyone can use this phone daily naked and not sustain a drop and thus damage.... You'll also have fine microscratches in the screen just from regular use if you don't have the screen protector on......

[Nexus 6  General] golfinggino:
Yes this phone is slippery without a case so I put a cheap tpu case on it and it is much better now don't really care about the screen as it already had a few light scratches on it but I can live with them as only paid $400 for the phone - really like this phone
[Nexus 6  General] gorei23:
Because it's a discussion on device protection including protection from drops.

[Nexus 6  General] gorei23:
Agh! There's a small scratch on my screen D: at least it's near the edge.
[Nexus 6  General] trickster2369:
My N6 has been naked since November when I got it. In that time time, I've never seen it spin itself off of a flat surface. Spin in circles yes, but that's about it. I've also managed to use my phone without throwing it on the ground or against another object causing damage. It's really not that hard to just take care of nice things by handling them properly and using them, or not using them, in the proper situations. Fine micro scratches? See the last sentence. The phone is meant to be used, not to be an investment. It will never be worth as much as, or more than what you paid for it. Use it like it's meant to be used. Be happy. Buy the next best thing to come along. Rinse /repeat.

It gives it a more grippable back, thus protecting it from being dropped. Also protects from scuff marks on the back.
[Nexus 6  General] gtdriver0036:
Well it happened. I was sitting on the floor with the phone on my lap.

It slid off my lap onto a tile floor no more than the thickness of my thigh, which is to say not much higher than the phone is tall.

Result? A nice crack from the top right to the mid lower left side.

It's not so bad and i think i'll grin and bear it unless it gets worse instead of making a claim on my insurance.

Just goes to show that ANY impact can cause a break.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
oh come on. i have to admit i've been reading this thread with great amusement since it began, but i have to draw the line at this story. are you trying to tell us that you "dropped" your phone from a height of 6 INCHES and the screen cracked? really? :rolleyes:

i've had the phone since launch day. i've been super careful with it. it survived moving to a new home and minor drops of no more than 2ft onto a wood floor while eating dinner once or twice.

This event saw me sitting on the floor eating lunch, we had not moved tables or chairs into the house yet. while talking to my wife and mother in law i shifted and the phone slid off my thigh and hit a tile floor. It breaks my heart to see the crack but with so much going on with renovating I just don't have the time to fiddle around with unlocking rooting and setting up a new phone. it's not a spiderweb shatter just a hairline crack in the direction described. Top right to bottom left.

This is only the second screen i've ever cracked. I had a Galaxy Nexus before this and went from launch day in Dec 2011 until Oct 2014 without cracking my screen. Never cased a phone. The N6 is the first phone ive ever even used a screen protector on.

You don't need to believe it.... but it's my story and i'm sticking to it.

[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I dropped mine while on a call onto a tile floor. I fumbled it to about chest height before it finally slipped from my hand and landed on it's back before flipping to face down. There is a small scuff on the metal trim on the back and that's it. It must have hit the tile grout. I don't use a case. My wife thought for sure the screen was going to be shattered.

I am really not a fan of the shape of this phone nor the material used for the back. It's awkward to hold and spins and wobbles if you try to use it on a table. I loved my Nexus 5. I would really love a Nexus 5 refresh that is basically the exact same as the current Nexus 5 but with updated internals and front facing speakers.
[Nexus 6  General] germanmarky:
I have dropped mine on carpet with no scuffs, but I chipped the glass and it looks like a single crack housing the LED flashlight (most likely) due to carrying something else in the same pocket. It's not bad, but the first boo-boo on my lovely new N6. I've had it for about 5 weeks now.

[Nexus 6  General] Mudderz:
A work buddy bumped into me and I dropped my phone, about 4 feet fell face down into the hard tile floor. Shattering most of the screen, scratches and dents on the metal frame. Was not a happy camper.. But I saved up 200 for a new screen replaced it and was not happy as the screen didn't stay stuck to the plastic frame on the inside of the phone. So I used some rubber bands to secure the screen and did some searching on getting a replacement. Motorola sent me a new phone in box ;) now I have two fast chargers. I knew I couldn't get a free replacement from an accidental drop. And after I fixed it I just wasn't happy with the dents and scratches.
