You flash it with an incompatible recovery, try with latest CWM.

I have no idea since the list is so long.
Try reading the label on the box it came with
And match some letters and numbers.
But to be honest: I have no clue.
Maybe kies can help disaster recovery back to stock

Anyone using CWM recovery?

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone was using CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery as opposed to TWRP.
I noticed there's 6.0.3.2 version available for the S4 (Bell/Canada) variant on http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Any feedback would be great and will this work on the Rogers variant of the i337m.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it installs and works with the Rogers & any Canadian Variant of the i337m
So I just installed CWM via ROM Manager... Works great!

I did the same. I have a Koodo phone but when I select "reboot device" from the CWM menu the phone just switches off..Also has the issue where the date of backups is wrong (1970 think)..
I rooted my phone first using the motochopper method.

That would make sense right? You are trying to install the i337 cwm on a i747m.....that would crash your phone for sure.

CWM recovery installed on my Telus Galaxy S 4 , the ony problem that I have found, from the recovery, phone will not reboot, just turns off but it will reboot as soon and you power on the phone. Backups works and so do restores from ext sd card. Seems to work better than other recovery.

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?

because im scared. because some people says that if i flash to stock firmware there is possibility that the baseband again will corrupt (sorry for bad english)
That is a very rare chance. Just make sure you have good downloads and when using ODIN, do not touch the phone until it is complete.

Just keep your MODEM / BASEBAND version in mind. Write it down before updating.
If baseband unknown happens, just flash your previous modem version, not whole rom. It will be fine then

Download it from here
Search your phone's model number..
You can choose any country you wish to. But do not download any firmware that has a carrier written next to it. Dont download a network specific rom.
EXAMPLE: You have to download Brazil instead of Brazil (TIM)
Then flash it via Odin v3.09 by selecting the downloaded file in the PDA section
You can find many guides regarding how to flash via odin here.
And if you have the old bootloader then download any old file relating to your phones model number.
Remember if youre once on android 4.3, you cannot go back to 4.2.2
And if youre once on 4.4.2, there is no way you can revert to 4.3/4.2.2.
Bdw can you send me a screenshot of your current android version and baseband version? (Settings-->About phone)

No dont download the unknown ones.
Personally speaking, Ive never tried them and wont ever try them
Download any, but without the carrier specified for i9505.(Singapore,Brazil,Slovakia etc.)
And you can do a data wipe first and then flash or vice versa.
I used to enter the rom first and everything used to crash
then performed a data wipe via stock recovery amd everything was back to normal
But anyways, anything would do.
About the bootloaders. If youre already on 4.4.2, you have a knox enabled bootloader. So you won't be able to flash anything below 4.4.2.
Download and flash stock firmware and see if the same happens repeatedly.
At times flashing twice has also solved issues.
And pressing thanks is more than saying thanks

There is no point in reflashing the stock firmware.
You need to fully wipe in the custom recovery and reflash the custom rom.
If you still have problems then try a different rom, preferably a non TW rom, like CM.
If you then still have the problems it's probably hardware failure.

Now IMO youre flashing the wrong Omega/Pheonix Version that is why the FCs are there.
Because there have been drasctic changes from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
Either update to 4.4.2 or CM

No, go to Samsung updates.com or Sam Mobile and download a firmware for your phone. Firmware is an orginal "rom" for your device From Samsung, and flash it using odin. Your problem could be with the efs files, I had that issue Too with my note 3, you should always back up Your efs files.
Goodluck!
The rom on the phone is probably not compatible with the phone's current modem and or bootloader.
I recommend flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, make sur everything works, then install twrp and a custom rom.
