Hi everybody!
I think I soft bricked my Galaxy S4. I had MF3 firmware, flashed Safestrap and Installed custom ROM. Everything was Okay before I decided to flash another one. I flashed Alpha v10 ROM and it didn't boot.
Right now I'm stuck with Galaxy s4 writing and accessible Download Mode and stock recovery mode.
What should I do now? I know that we don't have MF3 firmware available but is there any possibility to boot this phone?
Thanks in advance
There is a script on here that you can flash with odin to make your phone boot normally its in the android development section for our phone. Try looking for it there. Good luck.
Edit: heres the link to it.

Hi.
When i got my i9500 i tried rooting it with a guide i found. It didn't work and i ended up flashing the phone with a stock rom, and re rooting with an updated and working guide.
Rom manager says i have two custom recoveries installed but when i try to boot into a custom recovery (CWM) it will not boot, instead it is booting straight to stock recovery. I think they may not have been removed when i flashed the stock rom.
Could someone please help by giving me instructions on how to get it working again.
Thanks for you help

Just Switch off your phone & Then press Power On+Volume up+menu button. You will go to recovery.
In the post i said that it will not boot into any of the custom recoverys that i have. Is there a way to remove them?

on top of stock rom, my stock rom was JeallyBean 4.2.2 i337 mf3 not mdl and i read there are no mf3 files for odin
So i managed to fix this problem just by downloading stock rom for my phone and flashing with safestrap: Galaxy S4 rooted Stock ROM AT&T SGH-i337 MF3 (i found that on google)
The rom i downloader is rooted. and it said to install Loki after finishing flashing rom but i managed not to.
after you finished flashing you need to install also: jflteatt-MF3-modules(attachment) : this will make your wifi to work.
Every thing i just said, worked for me! do this at your own risk! im not responsible for any damages!!!
Wait what if you flash MDL with safestrap, and use goo.im for TWRP? It could possibly brick but just an idea.

It wouldn't. The bootloader is still MF3 no matter what you do to the system, and so it will still be locked with no way to bypass it.
Can someone please point me to the right link. Installed safe strap on my att s4 and is stuck on the Samsung with the padlock unlocked screen. Was trying to install custom Rom. Running mj9. Thanks

you can't unlock it. If you have MDL firmware you can use an exploit but if you are on MK2 of MF3 its completely locked down

Okay so I spend hours trying to get recovery on my samsung galaxy s4 AIO SGH-1337Z and I finally do it.

I know its hard to guide you since you dont see too many guides for your specific phone. All i know is that I have an AT&T phone on Aio.
I follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52289782
I Odin full nb1 since i was stuck on download mode.
Then I downgraded to mk2
Once you are on mk2 you saferoot
Then install safestrap.
Unfortunally we can not flash custom roms since the bootloader is locked. We can only flash TW roms.

I called the Aio representitives and they told me that 4.4 kitkat is coming for S4 in July (this July) and the note 3 is coming this month may.
Let's just wait and see !

You can't have KitKat on your version until the official one is released because you can't flash our bootloader

He's already on the same boat, his doesn't work with Loki so he only gets Safestrap and doesn't even get 4.4.2 or anything.
