I rooted my device using the motochopper (thank djrbliss!) and all was going fine, until one day I rebooted my device and I couldn't boot to Android! Odin mode and recovery (Vol down and up, respectively) work, but when booting normally, the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo shows, and then fades to black. The phone is not off, because the blue LED comes on after about 30 seconds, and stays on. I thought I would go into recovery (Vol up) and choose factory reset. I did, but the problems stayed the same. I have the i337m (telus/koodo) and I thought I could download a stock image and flash via Kies or Odin, but can't find a Canadian dump! I don't want to flash an AT&T version because I'm afraid it may mess up my radio or lock the bootloader (I heard the bl was unlocked on 'm' variants) Please help!
EDIT: Not even Kies' Firmware upgrade and Initialization is working, it says "Please check the model name and enter it."
EDIT 2: Even Samsung's Call Centre rep. says to return it to the Koodo retailer.
EDIT 3: Finally! I installed TWRP via Odin, and CM 10.1 via TWRP. Now all I need is the stock Canadian recovery image.
Fixed. Mods please delete this thread.
ahhh man. this is scaring me a bit since no one really reported a brick. I dont recommend flashing anything but the version meant for you. hmmm might need to patiently wait a little. or try the international version but is your version the snap dragon or the octacore.

The Canadian Snapdragon
Ah okay, I installed TWRP in Odin and then CM. It works, but Wifi and a bunch of other stuff is borked. And Kies still returns with the same error message. I can't get stock at all. If anyone has a stock i337m image, please help!

Hmmm TWRP does work on your device right now which is good. Maybe you can ask someone with the device. (your friends or what ever) and create a back up of their phone. after that you can flash it back onto yours.
or yeah with a stock i337m
edit : if u dont want stock . but wants it fixed.
" CM10.1 Now available for Canadian Variants "
Okay, it's fixed. Kies doesn't work on Windows 8. Mods please delete this thread.
Why do you wanna have your thread deleted ?
Why do you wanna have your thread deleted, it might be useful to some people like me trying to find information about the KDO galaxy s4 SGH-I337M, which seams to be pretty scarce around.
That said, i need help to root that phone, i cant find the right version of CWM to flash. is the Canada/Bell one work on the Koodo s4 ?

Hi , thanks for offering help.
so i'm looking to root my koodo sgh-i337m, i've root other phone before, and i know a little adb, and cwm, but up to now it didnt work flashing cwm with odin and that cwm that i found for the i337m. I'm still searching
I use CF-Auto-Root to root my i337m and it works great. I have had no problems with it.

That is fine my friend just a matter of time there are many things I too donno and take my other expert help
And ya i also can't say exactly what cud have caused bootloop may be some bad files £ apps etc
It won't be under clocking as u did stock flash and was stuck so device was trying to boot in new os u installed
May be something u removed after rooting could have caused boot loop

SO i was a fooled and i tried to flash my MF3 S4 with TRWP. Make a long story short my phone was soft bricked. I was unable to go into recovery mode, only Odin mode. So after reading a bunch of posts and thinking that my phone was bricked until samsung released official MF3 recovery image , i gave up. My friend at best buy called me and said that they now have "Samsung Experience Centers and they can Flash your phone to factory stock. I called Samsung and verified. i immediately brought the phone over and after explaining that "Kies" Ruined my phone they were able to flash my phone now it is working. I will go into more detail soon. But those who were in my situation, rest assured there is a solution now.

It would be great if you could check with your friend at Best Buy and see if he has any details about how the MF3 firmware is being flashed.
I will ask my friend if he can get more details and possible pictures. From what I know special "Tools" where provided by by Samsung. Initially the Best Buy rep that flashed my phone did not know what to do he then called Samsung technical support and they were able to remote control his PC and finish the flash. I wasn't able to see the program he was using as I was behind the PC screen and could not get around.

Its called "Samsung Smart" its what the att store uses I got the guy to tell me what it was. He said that samsung reps came in and installed the software on all of there computers. I hope we can get someone who works there to throw the software on a usb stick. It needs to be leaked. I am soooooo pissed off right now because I just got a new one from the device support center yesterday and it came with mdl on it. Then the damn thing updated itself within 24hrs. It downloaded it and installed it without my consent. Im going to brick it on purpose and take it back to the att device support center and they will probably try and reflash it but it wont work cause all they have is the samsung smart exe program with the mdl fimware and im sure its nkt going to downgrade it so they will end up giving me a new phone again and hopefully it will have mdl on it first thing in the morning.
Struck out at my nearest Best Buy this evening. The guy at the Samsung counter didn't seem to know much about them, he did plug it in but never launched any applications to try and reflash it all he was using was a laptop and stock USB cable. There are several other stores in my area (Houston TX) I'll run out tomorrow and try my luck again. I'll report back on any applications they use and will pick their brains for info if I'm successful getting it restored to stock. To be continued.......

Try calling a few Best Buys before hand and ask if they are capable of flashing your Samsung S4. When i called i said that Samsung Customer Care informed me to go to a Best Buy with a Samsung Experience Shop and they would be able to Flash my phone back to stock. Good luck.

I messed up my MF3 rom and now my phone is bricked. I need to sales rep at the samsung center at best buy to flash it but on boot my S4 shows the custom boot with a lock unlocked on it. I AM STUCK IN A BOOT LOOP. Anything I can do? Any stories I can tell? I was going to tell them I got the phone online and updated it via OTA update and then it got bricked, but idk PLEASE HELPP!
Can you boot into recovery? If so go into it, do a wipe and try flashing the ROM again. Alternatively, you can flash stock using Odin to return it back to stock and recover warranty. Theres a thread around here that tells you how, called "how to unroot/unbrick your phone" something along those lines.

Need to post in the at&t forum for help not the international forum. A quick fix is stated in the at&t forum but you'll be updated to the newest mj6 firmware but the good thing is you won't have to take it to best buy and have them fix it, you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Bad thing is its a leaked official version but its very stable and you won't be able to root it yet but you'll get your phone back to normal.

As many of you know 4.3 just released on the CSPIRE variant device. I have went through currently 2 phones because they messed up after messing around a bit with kies and "other things". It's like it doesn't want to read from the sim card anymore and refuses to program itself. So with that said here is the stock 4.3 Full restore from sammobile.com so you can hopefully either fix yours or take it to the store.
P.S. They cannot fix it
This will change the Samsung Software to : Official

I got no sim inserted on a loop on my 2nd phone. It would try to activate then kick off and go to no signal and say no sim, then try all again. Go claim the warranty on it! Just as long as you use this file and odin it should go samsung official. They cant say nothing to you for their crappy programming. Because as far as im concerned im not touching it again, and gonna hope they come out with kit kat soon.
Cheers I will do thanks

Getting this thread bumped back to the top, people are looking for it. If anyone has any information as of why the CSpire variant keeps losing its cell data completely. Please help us get a fix going! Thanks
Anyone figure out a reason why the phone would forget the network and not activate??? Causing a useless phone.
