I screwed up my phone about a week ago by not flashing Loki-Doki.zip after a rom. I decided to Odin back to stock UAMDB, and now I am not rooted and I have stock recovery. I realized soon after doing this that I didn't get any OTA updates, so i connected my phone to my computer to see if I could update with Kies. It seems I can update to UCUAMDL with kies, but I was wondering if I would be safe to do this with my phone being previously rooted etc. Thank you for any help given.
Yes you can I did it!

I used odin to flash ji6, but I'd like to do the kies update instead. Can I flash back to stock without repartitioning? Can I flash jfd over the top of ji6?
No mods, no root, completely stock.
Thanks

My vote is for yes, since I just completed it myself.
I was using an Odin'ed JI6, and Kies Mini would not allow the upgrade. I Odin'ed back to JFD (did not check "re-partition), then Kies Mini did the update to JI6 smoothly. I did lose some apps and have to re-download them, but did not lose any data from /sdcard.
Is the kies ji6 any different? Better?

is Exactly what i just did, i flashed back to stock checking re-partitioning and then once phone was up and running i used KIES to get the update. Im thinking something that i had done to the phone previusly had screwed up the update and put the the phone Froze on "Dumb Mode". but anyways, i did flash with odin and then kies
Hi. It may just be coincidence. I rooted yesterday everything was fine afterwards. I started looking into updating to MDL since I didn't take the OTA update before root.
I updated via Odin on pc but hadn't noticed that my wifi had turned off until about a hour after.
Its thru the bar and the settings. It will NOT let me switch it to the ON position.
Thinking maybe I am going to need to unroot. Take update ota . Then root again...
I screwed up somewhere since I've seen no body else seeming to have this problem. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Note: I was getting the SEANDROID notification after mdl update to which I went and froze in TiB

Just factory reset in stock recovery then go straight to download mode and odin back to mdl, it happened to me before something stays behind and causes issues mine was bc of kernel didnt fully overwrite in odin.

Flash the updated kernel that's IN Crawrj's thread. You don't need to freeze the Seadroid app anymore. Newest update to SU fixed that issue, so open up SU and you'll get the popup to update the binaries. Good to go

Just flash a new kernel, be it stock or custom, you'll be alright afterwards

Wow. I love you guys. . That worked. Thank you so much.
I did open SU but it didn't prompt me to update binaries though but I have my WiFi back.
I'll be sleeping better tonight.

I downloaded the official OTA update. When I went to install it the phone needed to reboot and now I've been stuck looking at the Green Android screen saying Downloading... Do not turn off target!!! and in very small writing could not do normal boot, Odin mode. I am rooted. Please help
What version is the phone? I'm reading up on things in preparation of updating myself. I'm on MF3 and for what I've read I need to Odin back to stock before updating since I'm rooted. This may not be your case figured I'd toss it out there.
brought to you by my not so sexy GS4 MF3

Same with me. I'm stuck at the emergency firmware recovery screen. My phone was at 4.2 and it did the OTA to 4.3.3 and froze. What do I need to do to go back to stock rom?

You i think you should use Kies to go back they actually have a feature for that. Mine won't even be recognized by the computer or anything.

Any way today I installed my nandroid back up of stock ROM 4.2 Att gs4 sgh 1337 let it boot up any settle in 10 min..when I looked at phone I saw the Att redwhite arrows in task bar I quick shut down WiFi and now under settings status it says update continue or something .now my back up is mdb never ota before. so is this update mf3 the one u that is bootlocked or is it the 4.3 update?? I read some were Att was to start with 4.3 update yesterday what u guys think I should do? Thanks in advance ..

Ok I am going to try to go back to stock by using a firmware DL and Odin v3.07 If it works I will tell everyone. If not I may be screwed.
I'm currently on MF3 and had rooted my device previously and would like to upgrade to the new OTA. Would someone be so kind to link me to ODIN and the stock file,so I may return to stock and apply the OTA.
Thank you,
Did anyone go to recovery and factory reset?

I'd recommend it but it's to late for me.
This worked for me to unroot.
To unroot, try this. It worked for me. I'm back to "official". However, I've downloaded 4.3 like 5 times already. I can download 100%, but when it reboots to install it stops at 30% then says update failed.

Same exact problem!
wading through threads for answer!
Ok I have my phone working again. I am not on 4.3 but its back to where it was before I started, which is better than nothing. After running Odin once and it failing like it always does (I have never seen it work) I was able to get the holding down volume, home and power button option to work and I just said no and to reboot and it worked. I then went into SuperSU app and unrooted. I will try to update to 4.3 at a later time. I am glad I wasn't the only one having issues. I usually pride myself on knowing technology and being able to figure it out.

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems.
So if I oden to stock again don't root Then hit the update it should go? Weird thing is I installed my back up today and it a stock backup fresh rich from a oden wipe and it stared DL on its own before I stopped it with killing WiFi. I s this 4.3 update or is it mf3 since I never did that update. ..help. Thanks

Take it to Best Buy. "Kies broke your phone" *wink*wink* and they can flash it back to stock without messing up your data. You can do it yourself. Plus they have this mysterious awesome SMART tool. Lol

Use the link in my previous post (post #13). That has the files and procedures for using Odin to get back to stock 4.2.2 and then you can do the OTA upgrade from there.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 through AT&T (which I'm beginning to think was a huge mistake). The phone recently was supposed to receive and update through AT&T update service. The update is about 730 MB and takes about an hour to download, however upon restarting and the update getting to 25% completion it fails and reboots. This wouldn't be a huge issue but my Gallery app has since complete stopped working and the phone is generally acting screwy since the failure.
The first few times this happened i eventually gave up and looked into installing CyanogenMod onto this worthless brick but I can't seem to find any way to get ClockworkMod Recovery onto it.
As of right now I'm sitting here with an $800 POS that I'm stuck with for about another year and 8 months so any help either getting through the update or moving to CyanogenMod would be amazing.
Yeah you cannot install that on your phone, even on MF3.

So does that mean I'm just stuck? Is there any custom ROM I can replace this with or any way to force the update through?

Have you tried Odin MF3 from the md5 thread in general section. If not give it a go and if it flashes you back to MF3 then re root and install Supersu pro to use survival mode and take the update again.

i had the exact same problem. i ended up backing my phone up with titanium, flashing mf3 with odin and then rooting and restoring. then it took the update.
I tried flashing back to stock with Odin and just keeping getting a FAIL! Auth message on my phone and in the desktop application

@uchua Did u try follow my thread for MK2 tar .....u can upgrade to MK2 from MF3 easily or unbricked your MK2. For guide on how to check on POST#2 with image guide....GOODLUCK....let me know how it go.....:good::good:
EDIT: Or u can try this MF3 tar. But remember MF3 and MK2 CAN'T install CWM or TWRP RECOVERY.....u ended up BRICKED.....U CAN ONLY INSTALL SAFESTRAP RECOVERY
Actually it ended up being that the .tar.md5 file I was using was invalid. Upon finding the right ones I managed to reflash the original image and update to MK2. So I guess now my issue is resolved.
Hi,
Ive got at present "S5363XXLK1_S5363O2ULK1_S5363XXLK1_HOME.tar.md5". Flashed to my gt-s5363 phone. At present its unrooted. I was only able to use "cwm blah_blah" before when I had the 2.3.5 official firmware. I think there is issues with o2 galaxy y. After getting my phone back to official upgrade 2.3.6 what can I flash without risking bricking it again? possibly odin 4.42 Ive just seen a video where someone as flashed a one file flashing. Is it ok or is there any more proven roms for my phone. At first it wouldnt root with the normal "update.zip" I had to use "Universal_GB_ROOT_v9.zip". I was able to back up and restore, but after trying the "[email protected]@xda.zip" it bricked it. Any advice please.
tg
Same here. My phone got bricked again =.= Maybe I missed a step. Just download a stock firmware.
Start off with Samsung Kies and restore the phone with it.

kies not working on s5363
Kies is proving a no-goer, what I did, was to update kies ,this put new drivers on pc, I then exited kies and ran odin 3.07 and downloaded a rom from tzar site. I ran a one file zip with "home" at the end. This unbricked my phone and installed offiicial 2.3.6 firmware. Then when I tried to connect kies with my phone it said "cannot retrieve information" ,,but Im not going to mess with kies if its being tempermental. I can still copy from phone with windows explorer.
