Did you check the MD5 before flashing? Are you absolutely sure the ROM your flashing is compatible with your device? Were you on the latest MF3 firmware before you started flashing?

it appears you have flashed an ATT rom for the i337 and not a Rom for the i337m -- you now have several options to restore your phone
1. flash the Loki'd fix to allow the kernel and rom you flashed to boot your phone or
2. flash a cutom kernel that does work with your phone such a Ktoonz kernel (read the install instructions, for your i337m you need the TMO version of his kernel) or
3 download the stock firmware package for your phone, I'd recommend MG1 either from a link on xda or from samMobile or Samsung updates and install using Odin -- this will completely reset you phone and then you can worry about root and custom recovery after
If you do decide to install fresh factory stock MG1 I can recommend using CF-root to root the i337m and then installing Philz Recovery rather than regular CWM as it installs more easily and plays nicer on the i337m in my experience.
Remember each phone is different but do not attempt to install ATT designed roms on your i337m unless you have the loki patch also on your SD card ready to flash also.
There are many great roms available that do fir the i337m and are specifically set up for our phone.
But first, let's get you out of the download loop. EIther of the 3 options above will do. Personally, I would recommend the Odin install of the stock MG1 firmware and start over with a factory reset and a clean phone.

okay got it back to stock, now quick question for the philz do i flash the .tar with odin? or do something else with the .zip?

Its not the ROM that's incomparable its the kernal your using. Find one for a i337m then flash it immediately after you flash your ROM and see if it works.

so i flashed to the origonal versoin with odin
that worked
then i rooted it using CF root
now i got 2 files from philz and i'm not 100% sure what to do with them, i got a .tar what i assume i flash with odin and a .zip i'm not to sure what i do with they are both named philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltecan.tar.md5 and philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltecri.zip
then once i get into recovery i know how to flash roms, its just this whole kernal thing thats got me confused.

READ THIS FIRST:
MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MF3 FIRMWARE ON YOUR S4. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO RIGHT NOW. IF YOU DO, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY.
You don't have a custom recovery already that's why. Did casual not install TWRP for you? If not try installing Goo Manager from the app market and try installing TWRP that way. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU INSTALL IT, IT SAYS YOUR MODEL NUMBER EXACTLY! I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! When you have TWRP installed, then flash philz with TWRP and you'll have that custom recovery instead.

do not use the zip you quoted it is not for your phone
use odin flash the tar philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltecan.tar.md5
now you have stock updated MG1 firmware with the latest baseband
root by CF root
Philz Recovery
Now follow the next steps:
1. set up your google account play store etc.
2.next, go into the recovery and do a full nandroid backup -- this gives you a stable base you can restore when needed
3. go flash a custom rom, I highly recommend the latest version of Goldeneye -- updated, well maintained, great developer, clear install instructions
4. try itt then again, use recovery to make a 2nd nandroid, this one of your custom rom install -- try different kernels, every phone is different and someone's favorite kernel just may not like your phone -- doesn't make it a bad kernel just makes it the wrong one for your phone, flash a different one
5. theme if you want -- this is where your recoveries become important as themes are notorious for not always sitting well and all is ok if you have a backup you can return to
6. NEVER flash a baseband from another variant -- stick with your MG1 from your carrier until your carrier updates stock firmware

[Q] HELP! Stuck in soft brick!

Can someone please help me get out of this soft brick because I am really stuck. Currently I am getting the error message that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." but I have done that and it has failed on both mac and windows 7. I have also tried flashing stock build UCUAMDL 4.2.2 firmware via odin 1.7, 1.85 and 3.07 and I have also used the PIT files along with re-partitioning and F. Reset Time. Every single time in odin it has gotten to system.img.ext4 and then failed immediately following. A couple of times I have been able to get into stock recovery mode and it stated an error that the /system partition could not be accessed and I wiped cache/system/data and then tried rebooting and it stayed in the big white galaxy s4 letters and didn't even go to the boot logo. Based on this can anyone help me please???? If there's an existing thread can you please let me know? Thanks!

Which model do you have? What firmware are you on?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

sounds like you wiped your phone when you wiped system/data, why did you do that
you have nothing to boot
kies don't work with iMac
yeah give all the phone info you have, model, build, etc. build may be on your box
i think you can now only flash stock firmware thru Odin to recover, but if you were mf3, you may need to go to bestbuy and see samsung reps to flash phone. don't have any experience at that or using odin
stay on windows pc to do this
may be tomorrow till you get some help from others
good luck

Sorry I forgot to mention that it's a SGH-I337 as well and I was running the jamal 4.3 AOSP ROM

well then you are with what custom recovery?
and you are not mf3
sounds like the mf3 update was trying to flash. did you not delete the update files with Titanium so the Update would not run
can you boot into recovery and restore a nandroid

but, please don't say you don't have a nandroid--
i think this is fixable--:good:

restoring a nandroid backup could solve your problem, did you try flashing with fastboot instead? When you installed AOSP ROM were you using a toolkit? If so did you flash a temp recovery?

I don't have one, although do you think that I can flash a custom recovery with a PIT file because that seems to be the only thing that works. Also I do not have a nandroid backup. Is there somewhere that I can download someone's already made?

That's close enough. That means you aren't on mf3.
Edit, have you tried to odin the stock firmware? Never mind I see you have
I would download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and try Odin again on a pc. Either version of odin is ok, 1.85 or 3.07.
When you use Odin only have auto-reboot checked, Don't check re-partition.

also, if you are running a custom rom you have a custom recovery
cwm or twrp?

They key word here is that I WAS running a custom recovery when all of this started. It was actually the recovery that started all of this. What happened specifically was I tried to update TWRP via goo manager and whenever I tried to go into recovery it gave me the error that at&t has detected unauthorized software on my phone which I thought was weird because I believe that goo manager auto-lokis. Anyway I tried using other apps to add a custom recovery like ROM manager by clockworkmodz and nothing worked. I then tried to flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 via odin and that's what sent my phone into the state that it's in now. Something that confuses me even more is is that whenever I plug in my phone a battery logo comes up that I don't recognize and then freezes.

When you flashed twrp with odin are you sure it was for your device? I think you might have borked your partitions.

That is possible, I know what is causing this has something to do with the partitions being messed up since I can't access /system in the stock recovery mode

[Q] Need help installing Custom ROM on SPH-L720 MK2 Baseband

I used to have Verizon Gs3 and played a lot with Custom Roms.
Recently changed to Sprint Gs4.
I am on L720VPUEMK2 baseband.(Most recent Stock 4.3)
I did root my device by flashing CF-Auto-Root and Phil Touch Wiz 5.18.2 ( ODIN mode)
Here comes the challenge:
When I try to flash any custom rom using Recovery mode I am getting stuck at Boot screen with error.
Funny thing is If i use Cyanogen Mod Installer directly from My Laptop to flash 10.2 version.
I am guessing it has some thing to do with Samsung Knox Boot Loader.
Can some one help me with getting around this to flash custom Rom?

its been my experience with philz recovery once you factory reset you have to go into power menu and reboot into recovery again and then flash rom

So you are saying that Once I flash the Rom
1. Go back to Recovery and Do a factory Reset
2. Re-Flash the Desired Rom.
I tried this too.
Its not just Philz Recovery. I user CWM Recovery as well and having similar issues.

Use PC Odin to flash Philz latest recovery.
But in Odin don't check the "Auto Reboot". When Odin is finished unplug the phone and hard power it off or batter pull.
Edited for clarity - Meant AutoReboot

So when i did install custom Rom I am stuck on Samsung Galaxy s4 Screen
With Error
KERNeL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING ( RED color)
Set Warranty Bit : Kernel (Yellow Color)
Its about 10 Minutes now and I will leave it that way for 1 more hour.
Update: its been 30 mins and am still stuck in that screen.

I'm curious as to what ends up happening with this. I was reading how to flash a custom rom, by using Clockworkmod Recovery.
It looks like the CWM is flashed in via ODIN after the root as a .tar.md5, then you factory reset/wipe data, then wipe cache, then wipe davilk cache, then install from .zip extSDcard. It seemed simple enough, and I have the same model as you, but it appears there are hang ups that you are having which I'll wait until I try it.
I also have stock ROM and MK2 GS4 with Sprint.

If you root with safe root you are correct, you won't trip the knox warranty flag. But you can't install a custom rom without flashing a custom recovery which is what actually trips the knox flag not root. So safe root is only good if you are going to run stock rooted and not install a custom rom.

My sprint s4 with Philz does the same exact thing, gets stuck at the same screen. Sometimes it takes a few then boots up , other times I have to manually reboot it.
I've tried many things myself and still this problem confines.
I've asked in other threads about this but no one had an idea of way.
The phone was on MK2, rooted with CF Auto, and has latest Philz.
I'll be checking in here to see if we can fix this... If it's even fixable. I think it has to do with Knox /new security.. But I'm no programmer so maybe a pro can chime in.

hello i ran into some problems when installing cyanogen mod 11 on my s4 using ODIN. i putted the cm11 file into the BT field in odin, now my phone is not booting, is my bootloader broken? i can not find the BT file anywhere. is there any other solution. also it sometimes goes to the cmw recovery and sometimes it does not. i don't know if this info can help. thanks

BT file ?
Cm11 through odin?
Are you kidding me?

Download an unbranded KK rom. The last is for Uk but it doesnt matter the country. Look at s4 general forum there there is an topic with all the firmwares availables.
If you dont have sdcard it doesnt matter to. You can flash via cwm from internal storage any custom rom. If you fix that root your phone, install philz recovery and then try to flash cm11 via CWM

After Flasing NC1, Cannot Boot to phone?

So i wanted to upgrade to lolipop. In order to do that i followed this tutorial http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-to-lollipop-and-keep-root/ and they said to flash to NJ4. (using this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56453108&postcount=2 ) Since i was already rooted and had safestrap i followed STEP 2 and after these
1. Reboot into Download Mode
2. In Odin, and flash NC1 Kernel file in the AP slot
3. Phone will reboot

instructions i cannot boot to my phone now , it only shows that "boot to safestrap recovery or to my phone". If i click my phone it just blacks out and shuts off.
I tried to factory reset in safestrap recovery and after than i tried to boot into system but it says no os found? are you sure you want to boot..
Another note:- i used ODIN 3.09 since it was stated in STEP 1, now i can see how dumb i am since it was for I9505 :|
Auto reboot and F. Reset times were checked. Android Version was: 4.3 , Model: SGH-i337
Please help me with this,
Thanks - Ninetailz

First, there is no specific Odin for a specific phone. It's the same Odin for any Samsung phone. It sounds like you should flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and start the process all over again
