I'm running a totally stock Sprint Galaxy S4. I recently updated my firmware and I'm now unable to connect to Odin or use MTP for file transfer. My phone will mount as a camera. I have used various cables to rule that out. I also went to the Samsung website to get the latest usb drivers. I went so far as to wipe my phone too. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would like to root my phone. I have a stock recovery so I'm limited on what I can flash. I also downloaded official firmware but had signature issues. Please help Lord Vader. I must destroy Jedi Scum

I know it's the wrong section but must answer. My S4 refused to connect. I tried x3 cheap-o-usb connect wires (even a HTC wire which I was told was high quality) and as a last result I used my Western Digital Portable Hard Drive cord which is notably much thicker and it connected.

Try uninstalling the Samsung drivers then reinstalling? If Odin doesn't recognize it, it seems to be a driver issue. Or try to connect your phone to a different PC.

My S4 is currently running MF3, i rooted while in MF3 so it was that soft root stuff without the bootloader. i figured it was time for an update to 4.3 so when i went to Unroot the phone it literally just sat at the Samsung Custom Screen. I tried to access the TWRP and restore that way, Nothing happend, i took it to best buy and tried to reflash it that way, their computer couldn't see my phone.
So my last option would be to connect it into Odin correct? Would this work or am i wasting my time?
Try Odin. There is a thread with the correct files.
Also, please do not talk about smashing or purposely damaging your phone for warranty. That is warranty fraud and is not allowed on XDA.

Lol True , sorry bout that. I'll give odin a try, i have the thread...just hoping this really works
It should work. Make sure you have your drivers and your device in DL mode when you connect it to your PC. Also use a back USB port.

Do you have a PC? The VZW installation software has a repair function as well and will completely wipe and reinstall latest stock version. Took me about 20 mins or so to do when I botched a root attempt. Hope this helps

Does not work with custom roms/safestrap installed.
Nobody else has help? I am surprised a community as large as this one has no help.
You will need to remove SS completely and it should work after that. Strange it didn't work for you. Have you tried the emergency recovery in kies3?

Have you tried this one? And this should be in the Q&A section.

I'm on stock touchwiz, tried to root it using auto root, I enabled usb debugging, got into download mode, flashed using odin but failed. When I rebooted it showed firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use kies and use recovery method. Please help guys.

Change the USB Port, make sure you dont connect to USB 3.0, change the cable
If all of the above failed try it on another pc

Anytime bro
I've encounter this problem once before and this is what i did to get flash success through odin.
close all running program on your pc.. start odin and plug in your usb cable.. please do not use your pc while flashing stock rom on your phone because this is why it kept falling..flashing stock rom on galaxy s4 took pretty long time since the file is big.. just wait until the process is finish..
note : you can still use download mode when you get this message ( firmware upgrade encountered an issue )
p/s : i didn't see that it already has been solved.. i'm very tired when writing this so i think i might just post it here so other member can get clue when they encounter this problem
it took time when writing this, cuz my english is bad and i don't want to just delete it
I'm baffled and have no idea what to do next
I flashed an mdj modem IIRC, and lost sound.
Running stable CM11
Current modem is MK6 currently.
I tried to flash through Odin back to stock but it failed twice - even though it was for my Rogers device 4.4.2
Im lost

Anyone know what the solution is?.
Do I need the stock kernel? Do I need to reflash modems?
If not and you guys think I need to Odin to stock can someone link me to the proper file and some steps?
I can't seem to ever get any stock roms to flash in odin

Odin can be finicky. Try different usb cables and ports. You should be able to get the firmware for your device at sammobile.com

It's not a connection port issue it's a Fail Auth when the stock firmware is almost done installing
Thank you for replying

Hello,
I have s4 i9505 5.0.1 . I want to root it because i want to install custom roms or downgrade to kitkat. I have read many artical on rooting from pc but the problem is my pc windows 10/64 bit latest version didn't recognize my phone after i turn on "usb debugging". I have used kingroot & iroot but no result. if anyone knows any other method to root my phone or downgrade to kitkat plz share.
My phone touch is not so responsive,
i installed new battery but didn't give much higher result
& it heats up.
I think this problem is because of 5.0.1 version.
The best way to root is with a PC.
Have you install the Samsung drivers? Without those, the PC won't recognize the phone.
my pc is not even installing samsung driver
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I installed the drivers on a Windows 10 64 bit system and they worked.
I don't think there are any "No PC" root methods for Android 5.
Thankfully samsung driver is installed but now the problem gets bigger, my s4 is now completely not recognised by pc.

Can Odin see it? If it can, then it's no problem.
If it can't, then I suggest trying another USB cable and USB port.
Hi thanks for reply but i changed
pc,odin version, usb cable but odin is not recognizing.

If the phone gets really hot when connected to a charger, the motherboard is probably defective. I have an s4 that does the same thing and changing the motherboard solved the problem.

I used to have trouble with my PC recognising the phone. I tried 3 different cables and it would work 1 out of 10 tries if lucky. I eventually tried my PS4 usb cable and it works every single time i connect it now.
Thanks all for comments. I'm now rooted with kingroot apk app. Thread closed.
