Does it connect to the computer? Specifically Odin?

Download mode by itself wont do anything. You need to plug it in to the computer and use odin to odin back to stock.

Can somebody be specific about the odin download cause I'm clearly missing something.
ok I saw the Odin download. Is the verizon and sprint one the same thing?
For Odin, yes.
For the actual ROM, no.
Do NOT use a Verizon ROM on a Sprint phone.

go with the no wipe factory restore... The file is big, but thats probably the only thing that can get you working.

I have the Original 4.2.2 Stock Firmware for you. I sent you a Pm awaiting your response. The links will be sent to you after the response.
Hello everyone,
I recently tried to flash a kernel and it seems that it was a corrupted download or something of the sorts and no whenever my phone powers on, the phone sits on a black screen and just vibrates. I have gotten into download mode and ODIN'd it with the stock image but it put me right back at the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue and if so can itt be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
It would help to know what device you have, what firmware you where on and what kernel you tried to flash

I'm not for sure about it being hard bricked if you can still get into download mode. Did you use a jig to get into download mode becuz I think that would be the only way to get to it if it was hardbricked,if not you may be able to get the pit file and fix it

In settings, about device would show the firmware. If you odined and you were on the mdl firmware. You can't get into recovery right now? Only download mode? Did you try to flash a rom before the kernel? I assume you have an i337?

After odin says sucessful,you have to remove the battery cause it will be stuck stuck on the download screen and go into recovery and factory reset the phone and it should boot right up.I dont think your phone is hard-bricked if you was able to use odin.

yeah i have done the samething. i went from stock rooted and had cyanogenmod 10 successfully downloaded and running one night. The next morning i installed ktoonsez kernel 100% certain it was for my cyano and everything i was running and its 90% hard bricked. The only thing i can do is get it into odin mode. Ive also flashed my att ucuamdl file with odin to try and reset it and it has said successful. The only thing i had checked was t ime reset and reboot. So i pulled the battery to try and fire it back up and nothing happens but a black screen and a little vibration. Kind of pisses me of since im not the only one who has had this happen. So far ive still had no luck with anything about the phone. no recovery, no nothing. Anybody else know anything?

If you can get into odin mode flash the mdl file again but make sure you have nothing ticked such as the f rest time or auto boot.And once you done pull out your usb cord and it should still say downloading on the screen.So pull the battery and then place it back in but dont boot up go into recovery what i do to get in recovery is hold the volume up,power and home button until i see the recovery booting sign at the top left corner then i let go off the power button and hold the volume up and home button until it boots into recovery.but when you go into recovery it will download the install the mdl file so you might have to do the recovery part twice after it installs the file then factory reset your phone and it should boot right up.

I know that you would think that it would be the newbie mistake to install an tw kernel on top of a aosp ROM, but I made 100% sure to choose the correct ROM. I know the difference between touch wiz and also.
Also, sorry to hijack the thread I just saw it and figured since we both have the same problem we might all solve it together.
:crying:I am rooted using cf auto, i had twrp 2.6, but just now i put 2.5.0.2 zip on my sd card to flash, bc i was having problems with 2.6, i was about to flash my first custom rom, but i wanted to revert back to 2.5.0.2 first, so when i went to flash 2.5.0.2, i went into goomanager to boot into recovery, which was fine, then i went into my sd card to install 2.5.0.2, i swiped to install, then is said install successful, so i hit reboot, NOW i am STUCK IN DOWNLOAD MODE...i cant get out! please help...i took battery out, i dont know what else to do...:crying: :crying:

If all it does is go into download mode. Then you are lucky in a way because you can Odin back to stock which fixes almost all issues. This will delete you data, more than likely. Which is only apps, messages, calls, not your pictures on internal storage.

It sucks. But stuff like this happens. And being rooted you have to know the risks of flashing and modding your phone. And its not that bad. Its exactly the same as wiping your phone to install a new ROM. You delete all the same stuff. Not hard to get back up and running.

No do not do this! Just go to tarp site and get the twrp tar file for the version you want. Then use Odin to load twrp recovery. This way you won't lose everything. Also to boot to recovery you can just use power and volume up. More than likely twrp didn't flash correctly so you have no recovery. Flashing it with Odin may solve the problem.

He specifically stated he didn't want to wipe. Plus why return completely to stock if there is no need. You SPARKY need to settle down and try to give useful information for a persons particular problem. Running around like a chicken with its head cut off for a simple recovery missflash. Then to try and bash me because I actually helped him not to have to set everything up again. What if he didn't have a proper nandroid or hadn't ran a recent TB backup. Then he would have lost all data. Now all is well. Check post 7 if you missed the part where he is asking for a better way.

He didn't say he didn't want to wipe until after. He didn't say that when I told him to Odin back to stock. I am settled. Lol. At the time that was the only way I knew we to resolve this so I gave him that option. It was good that you guys knew about the tar version of the recovery.

Im wondering if someone can help me. I recently rooted my phone with odin and was adding a rom. I guess it didn't download completely or correctly when I tried to install it and said it fail. I accidentally rebooted my phone. I don't have a backup on my phone to restore it. I do have a backup on my computer but cant get it onto my phone. Now my phone gets stuck on the Samsung galaxy s4 screen, and will not boot the rest of the way. I can get to the download screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Easiest way is to download the full rom .tar file and flash with odin. pretty sure they are posted in the dev section.
