hi guys
I have bought this samsung galaxy S4 I-9500, build number I9500XXUAMDK from someone, it was brand new and i rooted it successfully using Adam Kernel and ClockworkMod Recovery.
I didnt use it much, apart from downloading few apps and taking photos. The phone was then out of battery, i charged it fully and i switched it on and since then, stuck on boot (SAMSUNG logo)
I tried few things, among those: wipe cache, wipe data (using CWM) as well as removing battery but nothing helped
I finally followed the guide in this site to unroot the phone but wasn't sure about the country from which the phone was bought (I assumed Germany because it has the same build Germany MBC (May 2013) PDA: I9500XXUAMDK CSC: I9500MBCAMD6 Version 4.2.2)
I used ODIN to unroot and it passed successfully but i am having still the same issue (I also tried the wipe data and reset to factory)
I am running out of solutions and would be grateful if someone can help me or at least guide me to what to do and what i can test or try
many thanks again

I have followed the steps exactly as described and i downloaded these files:
I9500XXUAMDK_ROOT_ODEX
MODEM_I9500XXUAMDK
CSC_I9500MBCAMD6_HOME_MBC Germany
BOOTLOADER_I9500XXUAMDK
but the status is the same and i tried to wipe the cache in recovery but didn't help either
i am really worried now and don't understand why an original firmware cannot sort this issue?
I would really appreciate any suggestions if any
NB: I noticed after wiping the cache partition i get a green android icon with a red triangle (exclamation mark on it); is there some kind of issue with wiping the cache?
Also, in recovery mode i get 2 red lines stating: "failed to mount /sfa (invalid argument)" followed by 4 yellow lines MANUAL MODE,. Applying Multi-CSC, Applied the CSC-code: unknown & successfully applied multi-CSC

Try Philz Recovery first if that does not work
use the below link and get firmware from the second post for i9500 and [email protected] first FLash only firmware using PDA and incase still the same issue use pit file along with firmware and flash it using Odin
U can flash any country Firmware so take the latest and use it
Make sure to select the pit file @ proper place and leave this thread and ask all your query to the link I gave below he is the best guy to help in details also u can also PM him

Is there a reason why the errors are showing? Do i need to do anytging else?
If i wanted to stay on original firmware now the phone doesnt work
Try a factory reset, that helped me.

Method is to flash original firmware or your networks firmware or stock firmware and reset custom rom counter to zero via USB jig .
Kernel does not need a separate flash .

I tried with just the network firmware but those errors were there.
Will i do factory reset before i flash the original firmware back onto phone?
My understanding is that even with the USB jig Samsung can still identify if a custom firmware has been flashed. Dishonest to mess with the phone at a firmware level and then return it.

I agree withjadaress1,
After flashing a firmware, I always do a Factory Reset and Wipe the Dalvik Cache.
That ensures a clean system
If you have been flashing Firmwares/ROMs from XDA (or other sources) then you also need a USB Jig to reset the Binary counter.
Without it, Samsung Support can see that you flashed an unsupported Firmware and will deny your warranty claim (if that is the reason you are returning it).

Hi guys, I back my note 3 to stock and the recovery too. I used odin and my original rom from sammobile.
My problems is that when I try to look for update and tell me (snapshot)
All my phone is like factory one ...so why dont look for update?
My knox is 0x1 because I used a custom rom but I think that it not should be a problem to get update..

You might want to try to factory-reset again and eventually write again stock (right over the factory-reset).

Ok so I have a mje stock note 3 that is stuck in a loop. I tried kies to stock odin w firmware and pit and still nothing. The phone boot sometimes but shoes only the top bar with the drop down menu and a blank home screen, shortly after it displays an error about something unable to work and reboots again and the loop begins until it deckdes to half ass boot again.
Has anyone encountered such a problem? It happened after I noticed misbehaving of some stock apps that kept crashing and I resorted to stock restore the phone with kies.
Thanks for any and all help.
The knox hasnt been tripped and its sjpposed to be intirely stock.

so u have tried to download your MJE firmware from samfirmware and flash via ODIN I believe.
Have you tried to go into stock recovery after finish flash from ODIN and to wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition ?
I have no idea about verizon N900, but I guess it should be the same. You may not follow my suggestion if you are unsure about this, as I have no idea about this device. Just give an option of suggestion you may try, because on N9005, this wipe / reset sometimes is quite useful to solve bootloop on stock firmware.
Nope stock recovery no root.

I just tried your advice Sonic. I flashed N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_N900VVRUBMJE_HOME.tar.md5 from samfirmwares and I used odin 3.09 and still no success.
It now doesn't lag at the verizon logo its a little smoother but it still stays there and then it reboots and the loop continues.
Any other suggestions guys?
Is it safe to repartition with the pit file being flashed as well or will the phone be worse off afterwards?

Did u do factory reset / full wipe?
If u have the correct pit for ur model nd firmware, shld be fine.
Sent from N7105, DN3 with AGNi kernel.
I did a full wipe/ clear cache and then full firmware flash from sammobile then one with pit but still no success.
What did work was using a uart box and the phone in DM to reset the efs and then rewrite the fullflash from sammobile. Now the phone works perfect just has an invalid imei 00/0 but it still works. I am going to extract a QCN from another 900V and edit it with my phone's info tomorrow and write it to see if that fixes the no IMEI and No serial number issue. I will post results afterwards.
Thank you guys for the input.
OK solved with a donor QCN now all is good on this note.
Thanks to all for the assistance.

Hi, I am currently stuck where i was trying to download from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 to unlock my phone. Currently Odin is not even downloading my phone 4.2.2 and i am stuck. I don't know what else i can try.

If the sgh i337m is anything like the sgh-i337, then you can only downgrade to certain firmwares.
Why don't you try flashing a 4.2.2 modem in a custom recovery or Odin and using region regionlockaway. I'm not that familiar with the i337m but that works on the i337

I gave it 15 minutes to boot last time. i'll give it 30 minutes this time.
i can make a cup of tea on my phone, it's that hot right now.
Can i get some support from somebody on how to unbrick my phone? Or how do i go into recovery mode to reinstall the firmware like one person mentioned here???
