I have to swap my phone, one problem is that you cannot connect the phone to a computer.
Can I remove TWRP and restore the original recovery without ODIN? Maybe flash the firmware if there is a zip version using recovery?
I belive toy can use Mobile odin. There may also be a flashable zip.

I swapped my phone, rooted and TWRP installed. Not one phone call. Not one charge. That was on AT&T.
But if you wanna be safe, do what he^^ suggested.

I think I should try that just to be safe. Do I need to flash the entire rom ( Im on amdl) or just the stock recovery?
Just the stock recovery. Best thing to do is to search the forums for triangle away, flash your stock recovery after running triangle away. Follow the prompts for that, btw. Then use SuperSU's built in unroot.

Thanks! Im searching for the stock recovery now....I have the amdl firmware but not the recovery.
Any idea where I can grab it?
Is the firmware a zip or an odin file?

I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5
mobile odin is saying that the device isnt compatible? It asks for a dump, I did that and it said successful.
I restarted the phone, and it still says the same thing?
Looks like mobile odin is not supported for the AT&T Model.

You could extract the recovery.img from the tar and then create a zip file from that. I think it would work, but I've never tried it.
I guess the only thing I can do now is either find an AMDL firmware or stock recovery that I can use a zip file to flash it using TWRP.....
Has anyone seen this anywhere?

Sammobile.com has the stock firmware. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in odin.

You should be ok, I don't think they really check anything. You might do more harm right now than its worth. I've sent two devices into them. Got a refurb back. Your biggest worry is it'll probably be mf3 firmware.

If you downloaded from that thread (which I pressume you did) you need to extract the file from that zip file. You should get a file with .tar.md5 extension. Just odin that. If you get any error just delete the .md5 extension and leave it with the .tar extension.

Your welcome. Btw if you are able to recover back to stock and the phone gets stuck at sprint boot then just turn off your phone, go to recovery (you should have stock recovery now) and just do a factory reset. Then reboot then you should be fine.

Using the back USB ports on my desktop instead of the front ones finally allowed me to unbrick my phone. I was getting a similar message about the PIT mapping and finally found this information, that got me past the error.
I successfully installed something like MF9HotspotMod last month and everything was cool until I did the Android 4.3 update. Then I attempted to root the phone again and bricked it for a day with in stuck on the yellow sprint screen until I did my next trick.
I went into recovery and installed jlftespr_mja_text2.zip after trying many attempts I read off of forums. This was the only rom that actually got my phone to work.
Everything looks good except for a had some issues with the phone not working in LTE areas. Sprint said to turn LTE off and set the phone to CDMA only (that really didn't solve the issue but got them off the phone.)
How can I get this back to as close to as possible stock rom, something that will run the Multiwindow App that uses Xpose Installater (the best thing to happen to phones since the G1 came out!), and get free wifi hotspot?

If you want to get back to stock you have a couple of options, download the full MJA tar from sammobile or a mirror site and install via odin, then root it with cf autoroot and install the MJA hot-spot mod. Or download the rooted stock MJA rom from the development section and install then install the hot-spot mod. Simon center you are having problems with your radio, I would recommend starting crash with the full tar.

You need to download that tar file and odin and just flash it. This will delete your internal memory and then try to perform ##27286# in the dial pad and try it and see if it works.

Nope not the kernel just the one of the other two zips. The kernel is built in the the tar file. Just download which ever one. Extract it, you just get a .tar.md5 file. Start odin and put it in the pda slot. Set the phone in download mode. Connect to the phone. Flash it. BTW THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY SO MAKE A SAFE! BEFORE ANYTHING! Once that is done. Boot into recovery. Should be stock recovery now. Just do a factory reset and reboot. And presto you should be stock mja. Just go to the dial pad and enter ##27286# and it should reboot a couple of times. And see if that helps you.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
So it all started earlier today when I tried flashing a custom kernel to my phone. Everything went fine but by WiFi refused to turn on. I then tried clearing the dalvik cache and fixing permissions but that failed to do it. I then tried doing a factory reset from the custom recovery but now when my phone boots up it's stuck on the Samsung Logo. I've tried using a few methods including Odin but they all fail for whatever reason. I would try going back to the custom recovery to see if I could fix it but since I did a factory reset I only have the stock recovery now. If anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it . (It's the I337 Model)
Well I still haven't found any working solutions to my predicament. Still looking for some help if anyone can offer it.
I'm no expert but if you are on MF3 I don't think you can flash custom anything without using Safestrap. You may want to do more research. Good Luck.

You need to follow this guide by gtj0. After you flash the emergency files, flash the Odin tar file or update to 4.3.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a fix for this after a tedious search. I just downloaded and flashed the files and ODIN magically worked. If anyone else is having the exact same issue as me just look at the link provided below. These files are specific to the I337 model just FYI.

Hi everyone, I have been a fan of the xda website for a long time and you guys have always helped me solve my problems with my phones.
This is the first time I need something that I haven´t been able to find. Forgive me if it is already answered but I cannot find it.
Basically my problem is that I was trying to rom my phone for the first time and it failed.... miserably. I did not brick my phone; it still works, starts up and functions normally except for a few key things: a few programs do not function any more, most notably the wifi, contacts and dialer app, the lock screen widgets and some others.
What I did was installed safestrap, then downloaded the gravitron rom. I put everything in the right place, created the extra rom slot, then is where the noob came in. I forgot to switch over to the rom slot and instead installed over the main rom... Wow much noob, right?
Anyway, what I want to know is if there is any way to salvage my phone? I am on baseband mf3 and with the research I have done, I have concluded I am screwed until odin files for mf3 come out. But if there is any way I can get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so very much.
Thank you all in advance for your help. I apologize if i have left anything out but I will give any info on request.
No love for the guy with busted wi-fi?
Please help me! I'm killing my data plan... and it's really annoying to not be able to use my dialer or contacts.

Sounds like you're on mf3 firmware? If so, I'd flash that firmware and start over. Google mf3 tar files xda
If on MF3 you will need to flash the modules provided in the development thread. If on MK2, you will need to manually place them because there is no flashable modules yet AFAIK. No need to start from scratch unless you want it back to complete stock.

I am on mf3 baseband, i forgot to add that to the op.
I have tried flashing them with odin already, it instantly fails. Though I did it again just now to be sure with the same results.
Any other suggestions?
You don't flash the modules in Odin... You flash them in the SS recovery.

Ok that's the one I was trying to do but it fails instantly. I downloaded the mf3 tar files from xda, loaded them up like the thread suggested, put the phone into recovery mode but it instantly fails.
Any thoughts on why?
Drivers, USB port, cable. My money is on drivers though. Check all three.
