I just got a GT-i9500 GS4 and I wanted to install miui on it but didn't noticed the release was for i9505, after the installation finished my phone didn't boot up and I think it's bricked. I tried a few unbricking methods like factory reset and cache wipe but nothing helped.
Any1 can help me please, also is it possible to get it to the store and get it fixed because I did a factory reset on it so it's not rooted ?

Thx for the reply but It didn't help.
After trying a few more things I installed CWD instead of Philz touch recovery and it had a restore point so that fixed the problem for me

Hello everyone it is unfortunate that this has to be my first post on this forum but I need some help . I have a Samsung galaxy s4 SGH i337m **Canadian version** It has been rooted and I have installed team win recovery project ... However I cannot seem to get any of the Roms I want to flash onto my device .. I HAVE managed to flash Cyanogen mod 4.4 KitKat to my s4 but I notice it is very laggy and also it will not allow me to over clock my device it just resets and goes back to standard CPU settings ... I would Either like to flash Gummy ROM 4.4 KitKat or stock ROM KitKat but it will not work for me ... The process I do is this ... 1 Go to the webpage and download the correct ROM for the Canadian S4 and I also download the Gapps ... 2 once the download is complete I reboot into recovery .... 3 I create a backup ... 4 I factory reset and wipe cache and delvik... 5 I go to the ROM and I swipe to install it ... and it FAILS every time it also fails for PAC ROM ... When this happens I restore my backup and connect the device to my PC and I go and delete the ROMs and Gapps that failed to install... I do not understand what I'm doing wrong this is nearly making me regret getting rid of my nexus 4 I never had ANY problems with it .... Can someone please tell me how to fix my problem.... Also if my problem is fixed I WILL be donating to XDA for all the help and support. Thank you.
You need to do a factory reset after your backup. Wiping just the cache and dalvik will fail 99% of the time.

Ok so i just did that i created a backup ... Wiped cache and delvik .... Factiory reset and went to flash the ROM and it says failed so i read it it says this file is for JfLteCan .... I have no idea what that means but I do know I am downloading the ROM for the SGH i337m Canadian Version
OK so I'm not sure if I stumbled across the problem myself or not ... After Rooting and installing team win recovery .. My model number appears to have been changed to SGH M919 is it normal for this to change? I'm downloading the ROM for the SGH M919 hopefully it makes a difference . if not I'll repost .
This Did not work . still said failed

Did you get the correct twrp for your device. Also get the latest version should be something like 2.6.3.4. Then in twrp do the default wipe, the one where you use the slider. Then flash the rom. Then flash gapps if the rom needs it. Then boot.
Yea I'm one of the ones who tried to install twrp on my sgh-I337, 4.2.2. I tried to install the new kitkat but when it finished downloading the update and it restarted to install, it just gets stuck on that downloading mode (do not turn off target). I'm trying to get rid of this and reset the phone to factory and keep it fresh and unrooted.
Am I able to use Odin and the at&t factory image with no problem? I seen this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279 but just want to make sure this will be a solution to the problem without bricking the phone or further problems.
I thought I read somewhere if I tried using Odin for this it would brick but just want to be 100% sure. Thanks in advance
Yes, that should solve your problem

I would suggest reflashing your firmware. To do this, go to sammobile.com and download the correct firmware for your device/region. Then go in to download mode on your phone by turning the phone off and holding Home + Volume down + Power button. Then loading your firmware into odin and flash. I think if I am not mistaken odin 1.85 is suggested for use (Please someone correct me of I am wrong). If I havent been clear enough how to use odin, please refer to many of the online guides!
Hope this solves your problem.

Hello, thanks a lot for the quick answer i was reading some posts and the firmware is already downloading.. so i think im in the correct way to solve it.. so thank you, i post later what happened.
Next time you have an ads popup problem, use MalwareBytes...
LOL... Factory reset wipes most data but when you format system you REALLY need to have a firmware ready to re-install... Is like formatting your system drive in your PC and expecting it to work without an OS installed...
I solve the issue, of course was the firmware that i didnt re-instaled. I have a question, i downloaded the firmware that is for my country AND for the cellphone provider.. and was jelly bean 4.3 BUT there was another firmware for my country but didnt say nothing about the company and it was kitkat 4.4 ... i installed the jeally bean.. but could i install the kitkat firmware?
