It sticks on the yellow triangle screen. It will go into download mode but fails when trying to load software. Software or possible hardware issue.
What was your firmware? If you had mf3 this is why. You can not use odin on a phone which had official mf3 due to the new bootloader

if the firmware is mf3 we can't do anything??
if the firmware is different you can solve?

What I'm hearing is that if you have the new firmware, MH8 for example, then you can't downgrade firmware using Odin.
I am wondering if we can upgrade? Or once we've triggered the KNOX warranty status 0x1 are we stuck on the same firmware?

It seems to suggest that you will not be able to use odin to flash stock firmware , whether upgrading or downgrading . But you could still use custom recovery or you have to remove the bootloader from the tar archive to flash using odin

Yes that's what I thought, damn.
Not that I ever use the stock firmware but I like to flash it to my device because it comes with modem and updated camera drivers.
Do you know if we install custom firmware that is based on stock ROMs that we get the camera drivers included?
hey brah! I tried downgrading from MH8 to lower version firmware UBMG5 to be exact.
and odin shows failed! now I cant use the fone. says "firmware update encountered an issue." tried flashing the same MH8 firmware again but no avail. tried using a PIT files but failed.
please visit my thread hope you could help me out. thanks!

I upgraded to 4.3 last night. I greatly dislike it, and want to downgrade back to 4.2.2
I tried running my phone in Odin mode and installing an older version of 4.2.2 (from May, I believe), but every time I run it, the FAIL box appears. Is there a another way of downgrading, or I am doing it wrong?
Thanks for any and all help!
At this point you are stuck on 4.3 ( I'm guessing Mj6 leak) until there is an odin flashable rom for mj9 the Mj6 update contained knox security among other things that prevents the downgrade (blown qfuse and such) hope that answers your question

No you cannot downgrade from 4.3 back to 4.2.2

I believe he took the OTA update that AT&T pushed overnight. But yes, your correct that he will be unable to downgrade for the foreseeable feature due to Knox and what will likely be another incremental qFuse. I'm staying on 4.2.2 with SafeStrap on MF3 for a few more weeks to see what developments take place due to the release of 4.3 finally.
We need to be more specific when stating limitations. We can assume MJ9 incremented the qfuse based on past updates. So what that means is you cannot revert aboot/BLs to a prior version. It remains unclear as to whether MJ9 BL's will boot prior kernels. I havent had a chance to look at the MJ9 files yet.
What about taking his phone to Best Buy to have them flash MF3 on it?
Could be they still have it in the computer maybe.

The blowing of a q-fuse means it is literally impossible to downgrade, even for Best Buy. Once you're on it, that's it. All they can do is take the new 4.3 build and flash it.
I received the OTA update.
Anyways, thanks for all the quick replies. Is there a way to re-add the "Mobile Data" toggle? I don't like how they removed that, and limited the toggle tray to 10 (instead of being able to scroll through all the toggles).
EDIT:
Is there a way to re-hide the apps in the App-Drawer? (I liked being able to display only the ones I wanted)
awsomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can start by going to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ to check if you are using the correct firmware.
Once you got that, head to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 and find the firmware and flash it via Odin. And make sure to read the instructions, whether you need to flash both GSM and LTE modems.
yaa. but i'm from bangladesh and my s4 is importe from HK. now is there any modem driver for my carrier 'teletalk' ?
BTW what if i flash my I9505 with a 9500 modem, cause that version has TML, which is code for bangladesh.
If you updated to 4.3 via an OTA or Kies or flashed a stock odin rom you'll have a knox boot loader. Once you have a knox boot loader you can not downgrade to any lower version. You can flash modems though there is a thread in the S4 General section with various modems have a look in there.

Hello,
I have tried to downgarde S4 i337m Bell Canada from 4.3 to 4.2.2. Sam Mobile version - and the flash crashes at 2% (fails) using ODIN. Using Odin I can flash back to 4.3 and it works.
Is this an issue with the firmware file itself, or do I need to root and prep the phone in any other way?
I think the file is the cause, I don't see how the Phone's 4.3 would 'block' the flash.
Thanks,

I believe it is ALL S4's that took the updates to 4.3 and IF you try flashing back from 4.3 to 4.2.2 you can brick your phone. Check out the international S4 forums and see these results. The bootloaders do NOT ALLOW going backwards any longer. The same thing is happening on the S3's that updated to 4.3 as well. At least with the S3's they can still get a custom recovery and flash any Roms, including 4.2.2 based Roms that do not flash bootloaders.

Use mobile odin and flash the old firmware. MobileOdin does not flash bootloaders. Also I have seen 4.3 bootloader mixed with 4.2.2 firmware disables wifi for some reason.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi everyone,
My phone was acing kind of wonky after the 4.4.2 update so I wanted to start fresh from MK2 and OTA to 4.4.2 like I did before. I tried to odin back to MK2 via Odin and the stock MK2 tar but it immediately failed and now it states Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select Recovery Mode in Kies and try again. If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. I'm pretty sure the stock 4.4.2 tar would fix it right up but I dont see it on Samsung Firmware website yet. Thanks.
I don't think you can Odin back to a previous firmware, in this case from 4.4.2 to 4.3. I believe this was the same issue with going from 4.3 to 4.2. You will need the 4.4.2 NAE tar file to recover your phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
kevin is correct there is no way I think it is due to keys of going back ( not sure if its keys but think it is heh ) anyways what you need to due is install the newest update before kitkat threw odin then you can update to kitkat now that the ota file is available for download.

Which version of Odin do you use. You must use odin 3.09 our newer. I don't know if this will work, but older versions will definitely fail.

That might be true. Was just trying to say you don't always need the latest to get it to work. Ex. I've used MK2 on 3.07 and 1.85 I believe. But yes he might have luck with the newest.

I was in this situation yesterday. Here's how I got out of it:
1) I downloaded the (unofficial) NAE tar from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!55cWBB6a!v1L7J2MfLMe-gjybYpNSbnDapIVaKtbEJngRQmBcsKU
2) I used Odin to flash it. It failed at the end of the system partition, but it appears to have succeeded for all of the other partitions.
3) I then used Heimdall to flash just the system partition again, and it succeeded. I rebooted, and all was well. You may try Odin a couple times to see if it succeeds, but I didn't have the patience.
Hopefully that will get you up and running again.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for all your responses. I was able to recover after finding muniz_ri post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50345826&postcount=224 I used his Tar file and easily recovered from there. It rebooted twice while setting up but everything has been smooth sailing after that. Hopefully others can benefit from this information as it was kind of lost in that thread. Again, thank you to everyone for your help.
