I had another thread for this, but I figured it would be good to repost it since I didn't know what I had stumbled upon at first.
For all of those who have soft bricked their phones, I present to you to the MF3 TAR files to flash it back to stock via ODIN.

And for those that aren't sure as to where to put the files when flashing via ODIN, while it should be obvious, I have attached a picture that @xrandallx posted to help those that need it.

It's known issue with MEGA, it works best if your using Firefox or Chrome. If the download keeps freezing keep reloading it will eventually work...
Once somebody can grab the files I suggest they be uploaded to several locations, and perhaps a torrent file.
---Edit---
Maybe a mod can edit the title to include something like [Release]? As is stands now people might miss the thread by thinking it's a question being asked.

AWESOME, simply fantastic! It seems that the picture has been moved, however. Any chance we can get a re-up?
EDIT: The only reason I'm asking is because I have been on MF3 since I purchased my phone. I assume, that if anything happens, I can use the existing guides for MDL, and just replace the files with MF3, right...?

The files are pretty self explanatory. Platform in PDA, modem in Phone, csc in csc, bootloader in bootloader. Only have auto-reboot checked. Ignore the dll file.

No, if you on MF3 and attempt to load any firmware below it such as MDL you'll end up with a brick (which this will fix, grant it). This has more use for people brick their MF3 devices using MF3-based firmwares.
Don't mind me, I misread your post... - Thanks for clearing that up @jd1639.

You won't end up with a brick and the Odin guide for mdl firmware will work just fine. It's a guide. If you don't know what you're talking about don't post
worked perfectly. trading this phone for an lg. I'm on windows 8.1 pro 64bit and used odin v1.85
This worked great for me as well. The only issue I have is when I first boot up my phone, it hangs in the middle of the AT&T logo until I pull the battery then it boots fine. That only happened in the first boot after odin and first boot after doing a factory restore.

so, with this MF3 image, are we that much closer to a custom CWM or TWRP for i337 MF3s?

Hate to burst your bubble, but this doesn't seem like the case. Although we have access to the TAR files now the fact is the MF3 bootloader remains locked. Unless we can convince AT&T or Samsung to hand over the keys it's going to be a long wait (if ever) before we find a means to circumvent it's encryption.
What about us Mac users. Will Heimdall work with this?

I have to say u are a life saver! I thought my phone was bricked for sure. thanks

To everyone using Mega, I thought it was crapping out in the middle too, until I realize that Chrome wanted to ask permission to download large files. After I allowed that permission, everything works fine.
Works perfectly! Thanks a lot! Had been waiting for this from long time! :good:

I do not take any responsibility to what you do with this, if you brick your phone, that is not my fault, you must understand what this tool is and how to use it. This CONTAINS a bootloader and can brick your phone if you flash this coming from GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADERS (i9000-->JVB, JVO, ect. Captivate-->KF1)
First of all, this must be credited to C3P0LOL, as he is the one that first uploaded this a long time ago for the unlucky people that had their 3 button combos removed.
The reason I'm posting this is because of the fact that for me being a Build 1010, when I use Odin One Click it frys my 3 Button Combo, and it wont boot, thus I need to use a jig to flash again with Odin and the JH2 firmare, and then use the One Click Root Me tool to then get ROM Manager, which will then get me the 3 Button Fix.zip I flash from there.
^^So obviously from reading that, that's a 20-30 minute process just to get the 3 button combo...
WARNING:
IF YOU ARE COMING FROM STOCK GINGERBREAD WHETHER IT BE i9000 or the new Captivate KF1 bootloaders you MUST FLASH Odin-One Click, to flash your bootloaders back to stock
WARNING #2:
FLASHING BOOTLOADERS CAN BE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL AND ESPECIALLY ONLY FLASHING ONE (*SBL in this situation). THIS IS SIMILAR TO IF YOU WERE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK WITH ODIN ONE CLICK BUT JUST REMEMBER YOU CANNOT FLASH THIS FIRST COMING FROM GINGERBREAD BOOTLOADER IT WILL COMPLETELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
After you flash Odin One Click and your 3 Button Combo is disable flash the below .TAR File with the Odin from the link below and the .512 PIT file from below and you'll be on stock 2.1 JF6 with the 3 Button Combo.
How too flash coming from Gingerbread Bootloaders:

***Note name change the new name of the .tar file is: PDA fix.tar***
For Build 1010's [+] that CANNOT use Odin One Click and coming from GB Bootloaders
1. Flash Back to stock with Odin One Click to get the 2.1 Bootlaoders
2. While your stuck in the boot loop use a jig to get your phone back into download mode.
2.1: You can build your own JIG
2.2 Or you could buy one from MobileTechVideos
3. Open Odin from below and put the .512 pit into the PIT, and the PDA fix.tar file in to the PDA
4. Click Start
5. Voila you will be on stock JF6 with 3 Button Combo working.
Again I understand that this may not be super helpful anymore but I have noticed a lot of people including myself are wondering where the 3 Button Fixed Odin is, well here it is hope you enjoy!
Again one more time ALL CREDIT GOES TO DESIGNGEARS FOR CREATING THE 3 BUTTON FIX.zip and C3P0LOL for creating this extremely helpful 3 Button Fixed JF6.tar
Download link will be courtesy of echelonMCRhartgrenade. Thank you so much, mine just wouldnt upload, but here it is:

Thank you! But again I am super sorry I posted the thread and it should have finished in what MegaUpload said 15 minutes.
Then some bad weather came and the upload froze. It should be done within the next hour but Im SUPER sorry for the delay for the 3 Button Fix JF6.tar
But hopefully since the download link isnt there people will just re read the warnings as this is a very helpful and very productive flash but it is also a risky one.
Download link is up!
Enjoy!
If you have questions PM me.
I could have used this thread 2 weeks ago! Oh well....
Why isn't this in DEV?
Moved to proper forum.
Have you bothered to read through development at all? This is the 2nd repeat of a discontinued thread.
On top of that the new ATT bootloader package fixes the 3 button fix. What you are posting is only going to cause more hard bricked phones.
If you need to go to jf6 stock, use Cezars safe method in my sig. No bootloaders are involved. Then flash the ATT gingerbread bootloaders. They are backwards compatible, and they fix the 3 button problem.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD TO FIX ANYTHING.

I understand but I have given proper warnings and people should understand the risks. I only made this in the general sections because of the people that need this (like me) and a couple other users this will be very helpful.
Sorry this isnt helpful too you but it is helpful to someothers, and for users that havent taken the leap to Gingerbread yet this will be very helpful to them.
But if you flash the new bootloaders, you won't need it either. Just because they are gb loaders doesn't mean you have to run a gb rom. They will run gb, eclair, or froyo roms.

Alright then I didnt know that. I'm sorry, but thats also part of the reason I put this in general.
Me, and plenty of other people were just looking for the 3 Button Fix. You can ask the mod to take it down but I made this because I thought it would be helpful for people that wanted/needed this to have it again.
Yea this is really only for people still running 2.1 or 2.2 builds that flash back to stock and lose the 3 button. (Like I used to) I needed this a lot back in the day but not anymore since GB.
I apologize if I sounded like an a$&##$. That was not my intent. I merely wanted you avg those to realize this was no longer necessary

Your best bet is to start over by flashing the stock MF3 files using ODIN. From there, re-root your phone, reinstall SafeStrap, and try again. You most likely flashed a non-TW based ROM... remember only TW roms work with SS right now.
If you have any other questions, I'll try to explain it in more detail.

First off, download ODIN 1.85 it seems to be the one that most people have the best luck with.
Grab the MF3 TAR files
Extract the MF3 files to a folder, say on your desktop. ie. MF3
Open ODIN and refer to this picture...

Now that sammobile has released the MI9 software I believe you can use kies to do an firmware upgrade and initialization. Which will actually downgrade MJ5 to MI9. You'll have to:
-open kies 3 without phone connected
-click on tools - firmware upgrade and initialization...
-type in all caps SM-N900A click ok
-type in the serial number
-put phone into download mode (hold home + volume down + power on)
-plug phone into PC
-click accept and continue without saving
No I haven't tried this yet. But the firmware is in kies now I can see.

Grrrrrr this effin bootloader schmoder crap! I've used kies for years with my note 1. I've soft bricked it a bunch of times. Kies made me feel safe that as long as I could get into download mode, I could recover with it. Now it's worthless. I don't blame Samsung, even though they are the ones that make kies. I blame Att for requesting samsung to lock the bootloader. It's all their fault. We need someone with a bootloader unlock leak, instead of a kit kat software leak!

Alright, so my AT&T S4 is on 5.0.1 lollipop and I need to root it. I don't have root access and muniz_ri's thread says that I need to flash back to NB1. Before I flash, I went to download mode and saw words that were in blue: Secure Download enabled. I'm not sure what it means, so I don't do anything yet, in case I mess something up. My point is that I need help on what that means and if it is safe to flash back.

Thanks man, but I'm not so confident in doing it. Not sure if it will work or not.

You won't brick it. Just remember, if it goes into download mode it isn't bricked, lol. You can always recover from there.

if something goes wrong, would this work to restore my phone? http://androidhost.org/QqPaj or https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552137

If anything goes wrong you need to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. Any update .zip is only flashable in the stock recovery. If something goes wrong you won't be able to boot into recovery, only download mode.
Edit, you don't need to search Google. Everything you need is in gutt13's Index, All things AT&T....

Man, you're worrying too much. You can always get back. Worst case is you ota back. It might take awhile as ota's come sequential. Just flash the nb1 tar in Odin. Boot up and it'll most likely want to ota right away to nc1. Let it do it. Then root with towelroot. Then use the keep root method to go up to oc3. Don't bother setting up the rest of your device, ie apps etc. Until you're back too lollipop.

Okay, sorry for annoying you but last question(hopefully), you sure the secure download enabled won't do anything right?

It do a lot!!! You can't load TWRP to phone via heimdall for example... You can flash it via Odin... if You have windows
Why not just use the KingRoot app or the PC program wondershare Go Pro to root?
I recently decided to unroot my Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 from AT&T using the methods and the downloads from this website here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/03/...xy-s4-sgh.html
Now, when I turn my phone on, neither my WiFi or my mobile data will work, and if I try to turn my WiFi on, I get a popup from Security Information that says "This device has detected an application attempting to perform actions that are not permitted. These actions have been blocked.
I've tried pulling out the battery, I've tried turning WiFi power save off from the dialer menu, but neither one has worked. Not to mention my device is so old now it's probably out of warranty. I'm not really sure what to do from here.

The unroot app probably screwed up your kernel. To unroot your phone you do not need another app. You can do full unroot from the SuperSU setting.
Please tell us your phone android version, Bootloader version, baseband version , etc..
Please backup everything. You might need to flash just a kernel or just a modem or full rom or full firmware.
I'm running 4.3, I believe my bootloader is I337UCUEMK2, the baseband is I337UCUFNB1. Do you need to know the kernel version?

If I knew the kernel it would help. You have jelly bean bootloader with kitkat modem. It appears that your kernel and modem are not communicating after the unroot.
It could be fixed by flashing the kernel and if it is not work or it would give you the softbrick, you might need to flash the whole firmware.
There is MK2 firmware on this forum. However, yesterday I was helping someone who has the same problem as you do and the MK2 firmware did not work. He had finally to flash the NB1 firmware to work again.

That is exactly what happened to the another person that I mentioned in my previous post. If you go read that thread you will see it.
You and him has the almost the same problem and I think you will need the same solution.
I could copy and paste what I said from that thread. But please go and read that thread and follow the instructions that I posted there.
If that is not solved your problem we will think of another route.
