Hello Im having some trouble with my s4. I flashed a kernel that didnt agree with the system very well and now the phone is not working.
It will not boot into recovery
It will no get past the ATT splash screen when its booting
I have used oden to flash the stock rom and i still cant get it to boot. Im not sure what I should do from here
Seeing how I can get into download mode I was thinking that I should probably see if there is a TAR file of cwm and flash it through oden, but I cant find one for ATT s4
Pl
ease help!
Thanks for your time.
what version are you on now? MDL?
And if you can get into recovery try a different kernel first.
Also, go here and get the tar MDL and try odin back.
google....samsung-updates
Did the kernel include Loki?
If it didn't, or you don't know what that is, that's probably what happened. In that case, I don't think there's much hope for the phone (unless you can get your computer to recognize the device)

If you have CWM and can still access it, flash a ROM made for your phone (you never said what model). Just make sure it is a ROM / Kernel that is made for your phone and make sure it is LOKIed (or use LOKI-DOKI) if it is an AT&T S4. Or you can always go to SamMobile and get the factory firmware for your phone's version and flash it via ODIN, once it successfully flashed, do a factory reset in stock recovery.
If you don't understand any part of what I am telling you, it is because you haven't read enough, so before asking any more questions or doing anything else to your phone, take a while to search, read, and learn. If you have read, and you understand what I have said, Good luck.

Thank you Sir it worked Great!
You really need to read everything before you try just flashing something. Otherwise you will have issues like this all the time. Or search.
Ok, I have a situation.
I recently updated from MF3 to MK2. I rooted and debloated. I should have froze the apps but instead deleted them. Anyways I put the phone on ebay and it ends up selling. So I:crying: try and restore to see if the stock bloatware would come back and it soft bricked.
Now I am stuck at screen with a yellow triangle saying firmware upgrade encountered a problem. :/
So my question is this. How do I get back to stock MK2 with bloat. Is there a file for Odin? Stock recovery zip? Anything? I NEED HELPPPPP!!!:crying:
Hey......first of all search before you post but I can help you I have the recovery files on my computer I have to upload them later today at like 1 or 2 central standard time because I'm in highschool so I can help but I don't remember where I got the files but I'll upload them to google drive when I get home....I'm sorry this happened to you...you can friend me so we can stay in contact...I try to help with problems that I know how to solve.....help me understand what you phone is doing.....can you go into download mode? I would like to help you but I need a bit more information.

cool, I did do some research. I tried the mf3 restore mentioned in another post that was known to fail but just to get to recovery. I can only get in download mode. NO RECOVERY. Also kies emergency did not work either. No clue what to do next.

Thanks guys for all your help, I ended up taking it into best buy. They didn't even know how to operate there system. So with my knowledge and they're system I was able to fix it correctly back to stock 4.3
Anyone have the MK2 files for I337? I accidentally did a system wipe with TWRP and can't ADB back.

Hey all, in need of a little assistance. I was running the tri-force 5.3 rom. loved it, but saw that 5.4 came out. I tried downloading it and got stuck at a screen where it said it had failed. i then tried to follow the steps by reflashing the stock rom and now i am stuck at the spash screen with the red and yellow words at the top. or it pops up saying System software not authorized by samsung has been found on your phone. with yellow triangle in the middle. Anyone know what i need to get past this screen? I believe i was running an MDL prior to this if it helps. I also can still get into the download screen (power + vol down)
If you were still in mdl then just odin back to mdl and start fresh again.

which files am i going to need to do this? if you could just point me in the right direction ill be able to figure it out. I appreciate it
We need to know what firmware you were on before you installed the custom rom. If you were on MF9 or older you can download the MF9 tar file and odin it to your phone. If you were on MJA or MK2, then you need to download the MK2 tar file and odin that.

im pretty sure it was MDL. i bought the phone in early january. is their a way to check without being able to go past the splash screen?
Alright I figured it out. All i was doing wrong was not installing the firmware in odin. got my phone back up and running. Now my problem is installing triforce 5.4. loved the rom, but everytime i flash it, it gets stuck at the splash screen. any suggestions?
Bump
Hi,
So...I have a rooted samsung s4 for att running stock android rom and i've been wanting the lollipop update and i was looking into cyanogenmod 12 but i am still very inexperienced and I got a notification for the lollipop update and i tried to install it (just saying i know it wasn't a good idea i had a bad feeling about it from the start) and it downloaded and said it had to reboot so i hit install and reboot. It turned off and when it turned on it turned on into downloading mode. its been in download mode for a few hours now and i tried taking out the battery and booting up normally and i tried booting into recovery mode but that wouldn't work just kept on going into download mode...PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thank you

Do you know what firmware version you're on? Do you have a custom recovery, twrp or cwm, on your device?

Ok, I'm trying to make sense of what your current device configuration is before I tell you what to do. There is no lollipop for the s4 and cm won't work if you're using safestrap. I'm going to assume you have safestrap and you're on 4.4.4. If that's the card you'll need to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin to get your device working again.
Edit, see this on how to flash the nb1 tar file and return to stock.

Flashing it as AP?

Yeah, using Odin V3.09, I plug in my phone in download mode, it works fine, I put the .tar in the AP, it's all set to go, click start, and on one of the files, it fails after 3 seconds, the other it will try to do what it's doing, then it will still fail.
No custom recovery on g900v, you can use safestrap but that's only on KitKat, on L you'll need to flash an older kernel any time you want to use it.
