S4 Download mode wont go!! HELP!? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Gentlemen,
In an effort to update MK6 to NC1, I loaded the firmware from SamMobile. Now my Rogers phone thinks its a Bell Phone.
I want to install TWRP, but Goomanager is no longer available on the playstore.
On previous devices, and this one, I installed it via ODIN. This thing won't go into download mode
(Volume Down, Home and POWER). No go. Phone just boots normally.
Consequently, the baseband is still MK6 (Why, I dunno) but the build is NC1. Strange?????
Advise from the gentlemen here please?
Thanks
DSSKing

If you're rooted you can use twrp manager from the play store. It replaced goo manager.

Didn't work. Chose the D2CAN (Rogers) but it didn't work.
Strange it won't go into download mode .... Help?

I believe the d2can is the s3 not the s4

Okay, what is the designation for the S4? D2LTE?

I believe it's jfltecan. But make sure, flashing the wrong recovery can brick your device

Anyone using CWM recovery?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone was using CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery as opposed to TWRP.
I noticed there's 6.0.3.2 version available for the S4 (Bell/Canada) variant on http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Any feedback would be great and will this work on the Rogers variant of the i337m.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it installs and works with the Rogers & any Canadian Variant of the i337m
So I just installed CWM via ROM Manager... Works great!

I did the same. I have a Koodo phone but when I select "reboot device" from the CWM menu the phone just switches off..Also has the issue where the date of backups is wrong (1970 think)..
I rooted my phone first using the motochopper method.

That would make sense right? You are trying to install the i337 cwm on a i747m.....that would crash your phone for sure.

CWM recovery installed on my Telus Galaxy S 4 , the ony problem that I have found, from the recovery, phone will not reboot, just turns off but it will reboot as soon and you power on the phone. Backups works and so do restores from ext sd card. Seems to work better than other recovery.

you have the option of philz cwm recovery for canadian variant or you could use the method listed on the twrp site (shell commands) to flash twrp.

The site is being re-sync'd so will be down for awhile. There's nothing wrong with your device. I tried to download an image from their site earlier today.
Bell Telus rogers fido virgin koodoo mts sasktel all same devices trust me on that.
You can download twrp ftom somewhere else and use recovery tools from play store.
What works for bell will work for telus.

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "
So I got a new phone and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn how to do things on my own with my phones, Lucky me my new phone (Nexus 5) is way easier to root and do the fun stuff... but not my Galaxy S4
trying to odin back to stock I got stuck in Download mode and later i got a msg saying "Software not recognized by AT&T was found in your device" and on the top line in red said "Secure Fail: Kernel"
How can I flash the kernel and the new recovery ?
remember I am a Noob trying to learn, so go easy on me
What file were you trying to flash with odin? Do you have a link? Also, what firmware version was your phone on? The version you're trying to flash in Odin had to be at least as new as what your phone was on.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The boot loader is locked. This means that the stock recovery and kernel cannot be replaced. Also, you cannot Odin flash firmware that contains a boot loader with a lower version than the one you are currently running.

If it's running show I would flash the mdl firmware again without the pit file. Then root it with motochoper and put twrp on it. Then flash a custom rom.

Hello KidMarley,
if I do remember correctly, I downloaded the recovery from the webpage and then just flashed it directly from storage. I did not let the app download it for me. If that is what you are asking. And as nowadays there lots of new apps, can I suggest you use Rashr? I suppose that Rashr is the best for flashing...
Please provide me the link for the flash img

You can use ODIN with the sgh-i337 , just make sure it's version 3.07 I think it is. Or 3.08 or something. It has to be a certain odin version.
