Do you have MF3 firmware on your phone? Have you read the information you should have read about it? If not, I suggest you start with the "pinned" threads in the general and q&a sections and then read the threads that have MF3 in the title. Good luck.

Knox Warranty Void: 0x1

I saw this on my bricked GS4 4.3.1(cyanogenmod 10.2) when I powered it on.
Any way to fix this?
It pops up on recovery mode and when I boot it up.
I really just want to get my S4 working again.
Can I just take it into some place like Best Buy or something and they'd help me?

If you can boot to recovery, then I wouldn't say it's "bricked."
As for a place like Best Buy helping you, well I don't know their processes but anyone who checks for a warranty claim can't help you in its current state.
Why not just flash a new ROM?

If your phone is "bricked" than your phone has the same exact functionality as a brick. If your phone can turn on and tell you which version of android your on, well... a brick cant do that.
Well I can't get into recovery mode. Being the idiot I tried to flash 4.2.2 over not thinking what I have done. Well, even before I couldn't get into recovery mode. I can get into download mode however. Is it possible I can flash official 4.3 or some other 4.3.1 rom over?
If you still having the problem..

Well friend,
don't panic.. as I know all your loses is that you lost your warranty but not your device..
You can install the stock original rom jelly bean 4.3
If you are interested go to www sammoblie com then (firmwares) then search for your device model (I9500) or (I9505) or (I9505G) or (I9506) then download the firmware for your country and carrier and follow their installing instructions
If you can boot to recovery, then I wouldn't say it's "bricked."

its fixed now , i had to move the stock tar to the same folder as odin, go figure
Haha mate you havent "bricked" your phone.
If your phone enters the recovery, it would be booting into the download mode too.
Try getting the official firmware of your specific phone model nom and just flash it via odin.
Dont worry.

Yeah that is because you upgraded to 4.3 which has KNOX bootloader.
It wont let you flash 4.2.2 anymore. Like a downgrade is not possible once a knix enavled bootloader is flashed.
Download 4.3 or 4.4.2 and flash. It wont fail.
Thanks if i helped.

Sounds nice and all although I tried to flash the official 4.3 from Samsmobile and it's fails.
4.4 is not available for mrtropcs customers because the company don't care about it's customers in this regard. LOL
Just for inquiry purposes only, I found a link to a Guy saying he used lunix to delete know bootloader from a tar filehttps://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=8PDgU7DSOZTdoATTkIKYDA&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D75DKAGNstbM&cd=1&ved=0CB4QtwIwAA&usg=AFQjCNE7yajeB0317RtOmlFeEIB1QgEOGA&sig2=oD8TmSaTKu19-kpy0AKFGQ
Just go to sammobile and find the latest firmware for your model (4.4.2 for example) and dont look at build number.
Just grab it and extract to desktop.
Put your device in recovery mode if you can, and wipe data/cache/system if you can.
Then put your phone in download mode and connect do computer, in ODIN choose AP and add your tar.md5 file from desktop.
Flash it.
Then pull out battery on first reboot when flashin. Put it back and get into recovery by pressing VolUp + Power. Wipe everything again and reboot.
Should be fine.
i was finally able to flash stock 4.3 by just moving the tar file into the same folder as odin, go figure , i still want 4.4!!LOL

[Q] won't boot normal or recovery [desperate]

Can someone help with a possible bricked an SGH-i337 4.3 UCUEMK2 build?
Got this on eBay & it "ran" great but this nagging voice kept saying, "it could be better on KitKat."
First let me say I’ve been rooting & flashing ROMs for years but this had me stumped.
After performing a successful "saferoot" I found RomManager couldn’t install ColckworkMod due to a locked bootloader.
I did install "Safestrap" but w/o fully understanding how to use it I may have killed it.
As of now I cannot boot into recovery, normal booting shows the Samsung logo with an unlocked padlock symbol.
Odin connects but with a locked bootloader I’m not sure if that will help since NAND write fails.
In download mode at the triangle screen this is what it reads:
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warrantee Void: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC Burst Mode enabled
Any Devs out there that can prevent this from becoming an aquarium chew toy please help.
I’ve been trying to fix it for 2 weeks & about to give-up.
much thanks, Rick
You will be able to flash the full MK2 firmware using odin

I've been looking for the modem/radio MD5 file but no luck so far. Even if I do find it I'm not sure if my locked bootloader will let me flash it.

[Q] Galaxy s4 only working in download mode

oh lord, bear with me ya'll.
Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4-I337.
It updated over the air to 4.4.2
I tried rooting it, and it didn't work.
Now it will only work in download mode anytime I try recovery I get "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Okay, Ive tried Kies. IT DOESNT WORK. it wants to flash me back to 4.4.2 but when I got the update I was on 4.4.2
Ive tried Oden v3. 309 and Oden v1.85
using the one click zip to fix.
Nothing is working. I am really getting frustrated.
Is there a kind soul willing to help?
Also- all the updates Ive found are for NB1, My GS4 is NC1.
Please Help!!!!
It doesn't matter so much what firmware you flash back to so long as it finishes successful. You can always upgrade again. I was on NC1 when I got my replacement phone from AT&T. I went down to MK1 to root then used updates and things to get back up. Now there is a root for NC1 so no need to downgrade.

We do not have the full Odin flashable firmware for NC1. You can flash the full NB1 firmware and then use NC1 update to get to NC1

Ive tried flashing to full nb1, it fails in odin everytime. Ive tried several different versions of odin and several different usb cords, on two different laptops. its driving me insane.
Please post the error Odin shows. That might help people help you.

You might need to use a .pit file and the firmware. Using pit files isn't always recommended but in my case my phone got screwed up and I could go to download mode and even flash firmware but nothing would happen. Then I got a working .pit file and firmware and flashed them at the same time. My phone booted up after. The pit file has to do with the internal partition on the phone. Not sure if that will fix you, but it did fix mine.

The nand write protection is enabled and I guess I need to know how to disable it?
also, I've noticed when I try to boot into recovery mode Samsung Galaxy S4 pops up briefly then screen goes black altogether. Sorry for being vague guys, Im new to this

Help rooting and de-bloating Galaxy S4 SPH-720T

I think something is not right about my phone. I got this this phone 3 days ago and was running lollipop 5.0.1.
I tried to root it with this guide here choosing method one, because in the about section of the settings, it said Galaxy s4 GT-i9500. After flashing the downloaded CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 with Odin and it failed, it could only boot into download mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select ..........blah blah blah".
After failing to unbrick the phone, I took it to a repair shop where they flashed a new stock rom. The model now says Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T in lollipop 5.0.1. It used to be GT-I9500 and to make it more confusing, the sticker at the back read Model: SM-i9500, SSN: -i9500GSMH. And if I boot into downooad mode, the below info is what comes up. How can I successfully root this device and de-bloat it without bricking my phone again? I didn't have to spend the extra money for flashing a new rom.

Thank you. I'm rooted now. I was skeptical at first because I had attempted a root that bricked my phone. I need to remove bloatwares and make wifi tethering work.

I know that I can't use a 4.3 or lower Rom because of bootloader issues(trust me I tried and all the gibberish above is confusing. I would really appreciate a working link. And some Help:good::laugh::victory:
As far as I know, the 5.01 ROM was only available via OTA. This may help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814

So I finally figured out that the .rar file needed to be extracted. I have slight dyslexia and read it as tar after like three downloads. Now I'm going to figure out how to root with towelroot and flash android nougat on my old friend.
You can't flash Nougat because the ROM will need TWRP and TWRP cannot be flashed to an AT&T s4 because it has a locked bootloader.
It's carrier unlocked. Is there anyway I can unlock the bootloader?
There is no way to unlock the bootloader.
