Hopefully you are not in the same boat I am in. Don't try to Odin another Rom it will not work. Try to Odin CF Auto root. That worked for me until my phone stopped responding to anything. If that doesn't work you are with me which is in purgatory. No way out at this present time.

Yeah that is what I was saying. Don't try to Odin any other stock roms it won't work. Once you are on MJA you are locked out of Odin with the exception of recovery. Your only option to get back to stock is to wait for a working zip that you can install via recovery.

Install the ota again. I know it sounds stupid but sometimes it takes twice to update properly. You will sometimes get only a partial update. You can get the update zip from general.

Check your about phone to make sure your baseband is MDL as well. I had to take the ota 3 times before MDL baseband stuck. The build number was MDL, the baseband was MDC, and wifi was borked. If that's your case, Odin back to MDC, then take the OTA again. Check to be sure both build and baseband are MDL

No problem. Ok good. Then head to the dev section and look for my stock MDL thread. Download the Odexed no data wipe rom. Download the stock firmware complete. Copy those to your phone. Also copy a custom recovery zip on your phone if you don't have one on there already. Go to recovery. Install the firmware. Don't reboot. Install the Rom. Don't reboot. Install custom recovery again. Reboot.

Hmm that is odd. And I noticed you said the wifi was stating it estimates several hours to download. So is it downloading? Usually wifi is either working or dead completely. Since your system is also MDL just do the firmware and custom recovery first to see if that fixes it. If not then try the Rom.
Edit: ok I just saw your other post about your computer being slow and the phone taking forever. Sounds to me like you are having internet problems and that the phone is working. Since your pc is slow that means your phone will be slow also if it is using the same internet. And 3G might not be much better depending on your location and the Sprint network there.

When you ran Odin did you 'run as administrator'?
Also re-download the file you were trying to flash and check the MD5sum. Then try again
Your using the wrong file ....you need mdc or mf9 file....and your using mga wich is not for the sprint version
Yeah didnt caught that damn. You could totally brick your phone with that file.

So to confirm, you're NOT using a Sprint SPH-L720 but instead an international I9505, correct?
And are you using the most current version of the stock tar or same that you last had on there?

Cannot flash stock firmware??

Hey all ive been trying to flash my orginal firmware for my galaxy s4 at&t i337. Ive been using odin 3.07 but I keep having a fail to complete error. It boots up fine and I attempted to root it but it seems like it works but I run root checker and it tells me that it has rooted incorrectly. A lot of other people have been saying that samsung block this exploit in 4.2.2 and im basically screwed till the new update comes out. Ive tried everything, help would be appreciated

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "
So I got a new phone and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn how to do things on my own with my phones, Lucky me my new phone (Nexus 5) is way easier to root and do the fun stuff... but not my Galaxy S4
trying to odin back to stock I got stuck in Download mode and later i got a msg saying "Software not recognized by AT&T was found in your device" and on the top line in red said "Secure Fail: Kernel"
How can I flash the kernel and the new recovery ?
remember I am a Noob trying to learn, so go easy on me
What file were you trying to flash with odin? Do you have a link? Also, what firmware version was your phone on? The version you're trying to flash in Odin had to be at least as new as what your phone was on.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The boot loader is locked. This means that the stock recovery and kernel cannot be replaced. Also, you cannot Odin flash firmware that contains a boot loader with a lower version than the one you are currently running.

If it's running show I would flash the mdl firmware again without the pit file. Then root it with motochoper and put twrp on it. Then flash a custom rom.
