Help Please. I was updating my phone and know I'm messed. Phone is stuck in download mode with Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Tried to use Kies to fix it but it just downloads a bit then hangs there and does nothing. Tried to Odin 4.3 stock but the Knox bootloader won't let me. Any advice besides using it as a paperwait.
Update:
Fixed the issue. Firmware is I337MVLUEMK6 .Just downloaded stock firmware and used Odin 1.85 and used upgrade bootloader and placed file in bootloader section only.
First off give some more details. What were you updating to when the problem arose? Which 4.3 were you trying to flash in Odin? I saw another individual who needs the mk2 Odin file. If someone is able to provide it I would say that is your best bet for now assuming you were already on a non-MDL firmware, which I would gather is the case.
Also, XDA does not condone any type of fraud. Take that talk elsewhere

Hello guys, I have recently abandoned stock firmware in favour of liquid smooth 4.4.4 which works flawlessly.
This is a SGS4 i337m Telcel Mexico, and for some reason I am stuck to the baseband version I337MUMUAMDL. I have tried everything, flashing the modem file through odin, through heimdall, wiped the phone and installed the whole firmware containing the 4.4.2 baseband, but nothing to do. The baseband for some reason will remain the same.
Now, on samfirmware it looks like the latest version of Android available for this phone is the 4.3 I337MUMUEMK6, instead I am trying to update the baseband to the 4.4.2 Canada (Rogers) (Black Edition) I337MVLUFNE1 since as far as I understood these two models should be the same.
Does anybody know why I am stuck to this I337MUMUAMDL baseband and what could I do to fix the issue?
Additionally, is there a specific baseband recommended for this phone?
Thanks,
Pietro

I had the same problem initially with my i337m not accepting the updated baseband. I flashed it and nothing happened. After reading and re-reading this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324667) I found the solution there.
I downloaded my modem file from that thread. You may have found a newer version of the baseband. If so, use that one and these instructions should still work. I tried flashing from mobile Odin but it did not work so I moved on to Odin on my PC v 3.07 and that eventually worked for me. The first time I flashed it I restarted the phone and nothing had changed, so I paid careful attention to the following section from the thread I referenced above:
"Method 2 Odin
Unzip contents to your computer.
Put your phone into download mode
Open Odin
Connect your phone to your computer
Place modem file in PHONE section
make sure to untick autoreboot
flash
Reboot"
AND ALSO
"If it doesnt change the baseband, try again and make sure that you:
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,
unplug then reboot device manually."
I know it seems like you're repeating the same steps a bunch of times, but it worked for me when I flashed it twice before rebooting the phone. I hope this helps!
Hi All,
I have a strange issue, I have upgraded my phone to kitkat(I9500XXUFNE4) thru odin, but the modem is missing and cause of that IMEI is showing as "null/null", so I tried flashing only modem from the zip file of I9500XXUFNE4 but didn't work, and now only way to get modem back on my phone is when I flash "GT-I9500_Modem_XXUEMJ8", the only problem with this is, if I tried to install Paranoid Android my modem again goes missing and even though I flash "GT-I9500_Modem_XXUEMJ8" thru odin still it doesn't, it's like only if I flash Samsung's official firmware then only flashing "GT-I9500_Modem_XXUEMJ8" will bring back my modem and IMEI#.
I should probably mention this also- previously I had installed leaked firmware of open asia "I9500XXUEMJ5_I9500ODDEMJ5_I9500DDUEMJ5_ODD", since then even though I update my phone via official Samsung's OTA or kies, it just updated my "AP" and "CSC, but I have to flash "GT-I9500_Modem_XXUEMJ8" in order to get back my modem.
Please help me, as I want to use my S4 with AOSP or AOKP based roms only.
P.S. I had three generations of Galaxy S series starting from I9000 and since those days I'm flashing my phone and using Custom roms.

Hi There,
I just bought a Rogers i337m S4 yesterday. This is my first experience with a S4. I have used a Note 2 in the past with some experience with Odin/Samsung however.
I want to flash the Google Play Edition 4.4.4 rom on it to get rid of Touchwiz.
First step is to root the phone.
I downloaded ODIN 3.07, download the CF-Auto-Root, extrated to get the .tar.md5 file, and followed the steps to a T... the update failed and now my phone doesn't turn on. It goes directly into Download mode on the phone when powered on.
I'm sort of freaking out as I can't afford another phone right now. Anyways with the Note II, I could simply flash the complete firmware from SamMobile via Odin.
Any ideas why this failed? I used a Sony Xperia USB Cable - would that be why?
I am downloading the NE1 4.4.2 Rogers Firmware now - and just downloaded Odin 3.09 now. I will dig out the Samsung Cable as well. If I flash this in ODIN should this at least get me back to stock and up and running again?
Just flash the firmware under PDA with nothing additional checked, correct?
Sorry for the panic
I downloaded the stock firmware and flashed, it fixed it. I then tried the CF-Auto-Root again and it worked fine this time.
Weird. Must have been the Xperia USB Cable? Only thing that changed.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) It's unlocked and currently using it on T-Mobile's network.
It's running Android 4.4.2 and I am trying to update to Android 4.4.4 but it always says "Software Update Interrupted" & when I try to update again it says "Software up to date, try again in 24 hours".. I contacted AT&T and they said to turn data off and leave WiFi on and try again. I did and this time it did take longer to look for update but it said the same thing again. I contacted Samsung and they told me to try the "Samsung Kies 3" method, I did but it said " 'SGH-1337' does not support initializing." I told Samsung & they told me to go to a local Best Buy and ask them to upgrade the software for me.... But I don't really have time for that, so can somebody please tell why it's doing this / how can I fix this problem? / how can I update it?...
By the way, no , my phone isn't rooted.
Reset
Try removing youre sim card and doing a factory reset and go through the setup only connected to wifi and then check to see if it will upgrade that way

Are you rooted? Once it downloads it probably won't flash correctly.
Do you have a ATT SIM card? I believe you HAVE TO be connected to ATT to get the update. It won't update if your on T-Mobile network.
What firmware are you on? Depending on what firmware you are on you should be able to find the stock .cfg file here in this forum somewhere. You MAY need to INCREMENT each update manually though. For example if your on NB1 you would need to flash in stock recovery the .cfg file for the next firmware to NC1. THEN flash the next .cfg from NC1 to NJ4 (or something along those lines with each firmware). NJ4 is the newest so you will end up there.
Give more info on what your firmware is? If rooted or stock? If custom recovery or stock? Any other info so others can help guide you better.

Hello, about 30-40 days ago, I updated my android to lolipop. I was having alot of problems so I decided to Flash my phone back to kitkat 4.4.2. Long story short this didnt work and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop with no firmware on it. I've spent about 12 hours trying to fix it, doing things such as a factory reset (wont work b/c no firmware) and yet again flashing kitkat, which fails in odin every time. I recently heard from my carrier and a samsung rep that I cant downgrade. However I've scoured the internet and cannot find a .tar file for lolipop. I found a Rom .zip file with an assortment of folders and files but I cant flash that with odin. I have a Galaxy S5 from AT&T, (sm-g900a). Im unsure the specific version of lolipop, as I said I updated about 30-40 days ago. If someone could provide help and a download link For a .tar file of the lolipop firmware for g900a, I would appreciate it immensely. I don't have a micro sd card atm, but can get one if theres no other way to fix. also, what version of of odin should I use, I have 1.85, 3.09, and 3.10.
