There is no original file for mf3. Safestrap is new and I'm curious how you recover from what you did. Hopefully someone else is more helpful but keep us posted on your outcome. It could help someone else.

The SafeStrap instructions CLEARLY state to not touch the stock ROM. So now, you have to treat it like any other bricked MF3 S4. You can try putting it into download mode and then manually canceling out to see if it will boot, but you probably will need to go to a Best Buy and see if they can re-flash it for you.

Take it to your local Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience kiosk. They can restore it to MF3. Tell them Samsung tech support told you to go there and if they have problems to call tech support.

thank you all for the help . im going to attempt to reflash the firmware from odin. (i have a warranty and i will get my phone replaced even if it doesnt work. i wanna find out just in case other people make the same mistake)

i attempted this guide:http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/06/how-to-unroot-unbrick-galaxy-s4.html. says "failed" everytime. trying a new .tar file

Samething happend to me and best buy n my area doesn't have samsung expereince so I'm trying thngs out my self if anyone happens to have the mf3 update.zip that would be very helpful

Well I'm not an expert here... but if you have MF3 baseband which one from here http://www.androidrootz.com/p/galaxy-s4-stock-firmwares.html are you trying to flash because I can't see the MF3 ... And that could be the reason why it's failing

There is no ODIN/Kies for MF3 unfortunately. This has been discussed for the past weeks since MF3 came out
Your only option now is either take it to a Best Buy Samsung Kiosk and get it flashed to stock MF3 without the need to warranty:

If you're on the mf3 firmware you are not going to be able to flash mdl. When the firmware is updated a qfuse is blown on the internal circuitry which will not allow it to down grade the firmware. You're just wasting your time. Take it to best buy.

I just got bk from there they asked no question I told them I messed my phone up tryna update and handed it to the rep already in download screen

I'm having a similar problem, i went to best buy and told the samsung guy that my phone won't boot after kies tried to update and if he could flash the firmware for me. He put it into download mode and tried something and said it wouldn't go through. Then he tried to do a factory reset through recovery which i told him i have already tried and it didn't work. Then i asked if he could call samsung for assistance, after doing so he put it back into download mode and was asked by samsung to read the information in the top left corner, after he read the part that said custom the guy at samsung said there was nothing that could be done because its rooted... The guy at best buy obviously had no idea what he was doing, should I try a different best buy and ask them specifically to flash the mf3 firmware? (I rooted my s4 and accidentally wiped the stock rom, now it wont boot past the samsung logo with the unlock icon underneath. i'm able to go into odin mode and recovery mode but recovery shows android with red exclamation mark. I tried recovery through kies and that failed also.) If best buy is able to flash the mf3 firmware update would that fix my phone?

how it

I'm not exactly sure, but this sounds similar to the problem I had. You can read my post here to see if this is the same problem. I solved my issue via this post. Downloading the files took a couple tries (the website kept freezing), but flashing them through Odin worked the first time. Turns out AOSP-based mods won't work with SafeStrap, and you shouldn't write over the stock ROM. I made both mistakes. Here is a thread with a list of ROMs working with SafeStrap.

Shockndrop got all the MF3 files to flash with Odin from a Best Buy.
Make sure to thank him if you use it. He saved a lot of people by taking the risk getting that.

[Q] [NOT FIXED- GS4 Lots of issues with radio signal and calls!!!! PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi guys, first of all let me share al my specs in order to place my question properly:
PHONE MODEL: Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (the original stock kernel was: Build Date: 30.05.2013 -> Region: TCE (Mexico) PDA: I337MUMUAMDL Changelist: 518267 Android: 4.2.2)
Actual Rom: CyanogenMod -version: 10.2 10.2-20130923-nightly -jftlecan
Compilation number: cm_jfltecan-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G eng.jenkins.20130923.022829 test-keys
Recovery Mode: CWM via Rom Manager Pro app
So saying that I will say this: I came from stock to CM wiping Factory Reset and data/cache only and I used Odin for rootint the device....no problems at all, runs like a charm...
MY ISSUE #1: A couple of auto-updates ago (via Rom Manager), I start to notice that the radio bars (telephony signal, mobile internet signal bars) were from 1 to 2 bars in places I always get full bars (I live on a 7th floor with excelent signal at Mexico City). I searched on the forums (XDA developers and here) and it seems that ROOTED DEVICES SHOW THE REAL SIGNAL PROVIDED BY THE CAREER---->can someone confirm this? Is my phone showing the real signal strenght?, eventhough, keep reading to see that low signal bars are only the beginning...
So as i said, I didnt worry pretty much, because if the bars are little low, but i have a good quality service, who cares? but the REAL PROBLEM appears when another update came and when Im trying to use my mobile internet (4g or 3G, doesnt matter) the signal cuts exactly at the moment of loading a page or any info....it as happened with almost all apps (specially Facebook, Waze and Google Maps)
It happens as follows:
1.- Open any app, like Dolphin browser or Firefox
2.- Page starts to load info (LTE showing download and upload state)
3.- LTE-3G or whatever, shuts down (I see only the telephony signal bars and there is no internet signal)
4.- Wait few seconds, LTE-3G whatever is back...have to try again and agin until LTE remains steady (sometimes it wont until I reboot)
ISUE #2- DURING CALLS:
- Sometimes people cant hear me, but I can hear them...restart the phone and the issue fixes it self...buts is very annoying to restart my phone every single time somebody calls me and they cant hear me
I dont know what to do guys? Shall I wait until final CM10.2 comes to light? Somebody has this bug also? Is this bug part of CM? or there is another app making this rare behaivour...(do you recommend me another ROM for this model of GS4??)
EDIT: I tried to flash the original modem.bin (via ODIN) which is used by my carreer (TELCEL, son of Slim AKA "The richest man on Babylon :silly: is the company´s name). So until now, I can tell that in my first attempts of opening pages or facebook, the randomly LTE turning off-on continues...I will keep testing with this "orginal" flashed modem....

It's defiinitely a modem issue. You can flash new modems and try. (backup efs before doing so, actually if you dont already have one - do it before now and save yourself some grief)
If that's not fixing the issues...
I'd backup what you need and start fresh. It would be the easiest way to resolve all your issues. Maybe even try a different kernel set for your region and phone.
Kies has a useful firmware recovery option that sets you back to stock.
The Kies will use your model number and serial to get you your stock firmware and reset you back. Id wipe all data under settings then do it. After its done, do another factory reset in recovery.

Thanks for that advice, i guess Im going to do all that if a new kernel doesnt fix the issue (I havent found any kernel for my region which supports Android 4.3, only 4.2.2, and someone told me is not correct to install such a kernel). Good day to you!

So after done all the "back to stock" steps, I still get this questions:
1.- Would I still be ROOT but with stock firmware (Touchwiz) and cool features originally made for Samsung GS4? (such as air gestures, etc etc)
2.- If im "unrooted" by the steps described in your link, can I upgrade to 4.3???
Thanks you are so kind!

Check out GoldenEye ROM or MDOB ROM in the development forum. They are extremely stable, super fast, tw and excellent battery life. CM is awesome, but is seriously way to flawed for our S4's right now to use for day to day life.

Thanks. I successfully installed stock Rom (Touch Wiz) and the signal has been impecable (full vars and excellent internet speed). I have to say that stock Rom is faster than CM in its current state I'm having a better experience right now ( and didn't had the time to explore all the Samsung apps in their depth) thanks again for your kind help!!!

Well I just went back to original stock firm ware via Kies, and now the radio signal issues are gone!! CM 10.2 didn't work well for me as the stock rom is now working in my phone. Something tells me that some times it's better to just rooting (for enjoying cool apps as Greenify) and not installing custom Roms (because all this kernel carnival is just to much, and appart of all we have to install radio firmware? Just no!)

loss vibrat in i9500

Hello every one ...I got new problem in my new phone s4 i9500 ..suddenly loss vibrat touch during using the phone in custom rom ...I flash sokp at first custom rom and got that issue then flash hassan rom based on stock at first flash the issue present but flash it again and then work after that flashed aicp rom and after some days today the vibrat gone even in recovery mode ...what can be the problem ? My phone still new 1month ago ..can it be from kernal philiz ?? Thanks for any suggestion

any suggestion or throw my phone from window ......software or hardware problem ?????

Hi Ammar,
I think your problem is in software. If I were you, I install cwm or twrp recovery, do all wipes including system, preload and internal memory, then flash the latest official firmware with Odin. If problem stands still, I do all wipes agaün and install the latest official firmware again. Even if this is does not work then I decide the problem is hardware based.

Well I cant comment on what went wrong.
I was on slim rom once and my vibration Intensity was tooo too low. Because of that was missing calls.
Or you can download an app for checking vibration. Once my proximity sensor and speaker stopped working, i ran a test and everything was back to normal.
Try test you android from the playstore and see if that test works.
Well here is the app
But again as I said, let us know if this is happening on the stock rom.

Once my Wi-Fi stopped working on a Cyanogenmod based rom. I flased stock firmware many times but it didn't work. Then I installed cwm recovery and do all wipes then it worked. As you understand, such wierd things might happen sometimes that we couldn't understand.

i sent my phone to company and told me that vibrate engine is broken and they change it and now work good but what is the problem that caused this i dont know exactly ...as they said either by drop the phone or by water but non of these happend with my new phone

[Q] Samsung S4 i9500, freezes and reboots after a while of use

hi, a friend of mine, here in El Salvador, had this s4 i9500, but for some reason an employee from TIGO company offered him to flash it with kitkat, the phone has no use, we downgraded the thing, no go, with three different version, Guatemala, Panama and Colombia, no go!!!!, if you use WIFI or 3G or simply opened an app. freezes and reboot, even we tried flashing it with cyanogenmod cm11, i dont know what else to do, the thing is useless, somebody told me that "KNOW" was related with this, because the previous JB stock rom had root and then tried with KITKAT stock rom with no root, i dont know about that, please help us
any help will be much appreciated
best regards

I think you might have a problem with the cpu...you bought the phone on second hand? Maybe someone forced it in overclocking mode. I recommend you to send the phone to an authorized service, but if you say you tryed everything, the motherboard is the problem..

Verizon Note 3 Wifi Problem (Greyed Out)

I have Verizon Galaxy Note 3, and my problem is that Wifi button is greyed out and simply wouldnt turn on.
I have done a lot of homework so far, and before, I had 4.3 Jelly Bean, and Wifi being greyed out started around 2 weeks ago (early Dec/2014 - until then, it worked fine).
So I updated to 4.4.2 Kitkat thinking software issue, but wifi is still not working.
I had already searched for hours, and did many things to try to isolate the problem.
*I tried Safe mode
*Reset Cache/Factory several times
*Battery in-n-out, SD card in-n-out, any external peripherals i had alrdy taken everything off and tried
*Tried Alliance/Jasmine/Eclipse ROMs, but still same
*Not router issue @ home since Phone Wifi simply wouldn' turn on
I thought of downgrading back to 4.3 Jelly Bean, but there were many articles saying I can not downgrade, so I think it's out of option.
I now think it's hardware issue, but can not confirm... went to Verizon store too, and the guy just feels it's more software by 51/49, but the ultimate problem is that I just can not 100% ID what the exact problem is - software or hardware.
I really don't want to spend $ for another phone... I also feel it is Kitkat since I also found many articles with Note 3 Kitkat wifi problem, and I read a lot of them, but couldn't really find any solution to my specific issue.
My understanding is that I have 2 options - wait for proper fix by Dev/Samsung for Kitkat firmware or get a new phone
I really did everything I can within my power, and making this post is my last resort...
Hope I can shed some light from experts or anyone who knows any more beneficial details so that @ least i can try to sort my options and situation more clearly...
Thanks much in advance!

Have you tried using Samsung Kies to return to complete stock? Why didn't the Verizon tech offer this choice and flash stock firmware?
My guess is you have a baseband/firmware mismatch somewhere. 4.4.2 firmware and baseband can be found in this thread.

Or flash nc4 in odin.

ok, i did already check out your thread before, and when i had tried to download 4.3 (1st one), it had me download like .exe file, and these kind of files tend to be virus/spyware so i just didn't... i also read many posts about how i can NOT downgrade to 4.3 from 4.4 so software wise, my current understanding is that I am **** out of luck until someone fixes firmware... or am i wrong? I guess I am trying to be proven wrong, and hope someone can show me a solution to my weird unique problem...
Btw, already on NC4 (I had updated to NC2 firstly, and Jasmine got stuck on bootloop, so I got NC4 and used Odin, then it fixed the bootloop)

You specifically stated in the OP that you went to the Verizon store. They should have just flashed the most recent firmware/OS at that time.
You need to just Odin the latest stock tar or use Kies to do the same. Somewhere along the way the baseband, firmware and ROM OS have been mixed which causes the wifi problem.

iam not like total expert on micro details on flashing, but from what i understand, baseband version and firmware are same, and firmware is like BIOS for computer while ROM is like Windows, Linux or an Operating System.

You have lots of things wrong in the above. So to keep it simple just get OFF of the alliance ROM, get back on the NC4 ROM and modem. If nothing else...go back to the Verizon store and have them totally wipe and reflash the phone. You can also do that at the Samsung section of a Best Buy store.
