Hi everyone.
I apologize for my ignorance here, I own the S3, i am helping a buddy with an s4.
he attempted to root and is now getting an error message in his notifications. His wifi won't turn on and his SD card appears to me non-accessible.
Ultimately, we are trying to get a custom recovery installed to flash a custom rom. I have flashed CFroot via odin, but its not working, we do not seem to have root.
There are a few things i am looking for, and am having a tough time finding:
A full md9 stock odin tar
a odin flashable recovery (so we could just odin a recovery and flash a custom rom)
Remember we dont have root right now so we cant install recoveries via rom manager or goo manager.
I am really familiar with Galaxy devices, i think i just need some help from s4 regulars to find the files i need.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Here is the link for the Stock MF9 firmware. Its in a zip when you download. Just unzip and you will see the tar file. Place it in the PDA section of odin.

Hi all,
I'm looking for the original Stock Recovery for the Galaxy tab 7.7 P6800 3G. I can't find it in all the XDA post and i need this 'couse i soft Brick my Tab.
Is possibile to have the Recovery for the XLA4 ROM and for the ZSLA2? I need the file for Odin flash if possibile 'couse is the only way to falsh the recovery in my tab now.
I Think the original recovery will be useful also for other user
P.S: i can't flash an original rom in Odin so i need only the recovery like the .tar file with the CyanogenMod Recovery.
First off, this is the dev section, not the help section; this is not a development issue. With that out of the way...
I don't really understand what your issue is. You're softbricked but you can't flash firmware via odin? There's already a thread with all the released firmwares for the tab, or you can get them from samfirmware. If you just want stock recovery and not the rest of the firmware, you can download the firmware version you want from there and pull out the recovery file, though if you can't flash a full firmware with Odin I don't see how you expect to flash recovery either.
Also, why are you talking about CyanogenMod recovery? CyanogenMod uses clockworkmod recovery, not stock recovery, and there is no working CM for the 7.7 anyway. If you just want CWM recovery, there are several images avaialble--this thread has both an image file for heimdall and a tar for odin.

NOTE: AT&T variant. Phone is running 4.2.2 with MF3 baseband
So I'm helping a friend root his phone and run a custom ROM. The root went successfully (motochopper) and we installed SafeStrap and then we did a backup and wipe and then installed a 4.3 Google Play edition ROM (first mistake as we meant to download the 4.2 version)
I have the stock firmware zip for the phone and figured that that was the way to fix it, but I can't figure out how to get it to install. Through ADB it gives me an error after starting DAEMON. I converted the zip to a .tar and tried to use ODIN but ODIN stops working as soon as I tell it to run. I made sure I had the most current, correct drivers and am running ODIN3 v1.85. I thought maybe if I put it on the SD card I could install it though that method via the stock recovery but it says there is an invalid arguement.
What am I doing wrong?

What stock firmware zip do you have? You have to have the mf3 .tar.md5 file if you're trying to use odin
How does he have mf3 and motochopper works? It shouldn't. Also you have to have a custom recovery to flash the gpe rom and we don't. The closest thing we have is safestrap.

I'm not sure. I just used the first method I found and it worked. Then when it came to the recovery part that's when I found out about his baseband

I'm on the SamMobile site trying to find the firmware and it says that they don't have it. I find that weird that such a popular model doesn't have the firmware needed to do this. I put in the correct model and country
EDIT: nevermind.
I just put my AT&T s4 back to stock with ODIN. I am on the MDL version. I now can't get any custom recoveries to load. Have tried goomanager and rom manager with no luck. Can't seem to find the right .tar files for ODIN - they all fail. Any help would greatly be appreciated! I am afraid to do the OTA from AT&T as I don't want the MK2.

Root using CASUAL. It will automatically flash a working TWRP and then you can use flashable zips to update to the latest.
hey guy!
could really use some help.
im looking for a way to put twrp on my s4 nc1
the only recovery i can find is safe trap.
tried the twrp manager. never works or freezes.
and cant find a tar to flash in odin.
could any one help or direct me in the right form
The ONLY working recovery is safestrap.
Hi there, I rooted this phone a while back and for some reason decided to also load a custom recovery (Pretty sure it's TWRP) even though I was using stock firmware and just wanted root. Now the phone's trying to do an OTA and it won't work of course because of my custom recovery. I was wondering if someone had a link to a stock recovery I could flash via ODIN/Heimdall? Thanks!
P.S. If you could include a step-by-step on what I need to do, that'd be nice. As far as I remember it's just putting the phone in Download Mode and flashing the .tar file via ODIN.
