I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo with MJA bootloader and stock recovery.. is there anything I can do to have a working phone again? Restoring back to stock MF9 in Odin doesn't work for me because of the MJA bootloader.. or at least I can't get it to work. Please help, just want a phone again! Thank you.

Would you mind mirroring that stock Odin file of MJA for me?!
OOPS.
I flash an international ROM before realizing what I did!
The ROM was EchoeROM, 4.4. Custom recovery is TWRP.
In it's current state, I cannot boot to recovery. I CAN boot to download mode but Odin fails repeatedly.
I attempted the firmware recovery via Kies, but (as we know) it's ****. Kies asks for a S/N and no matter how correct it is (lol) it's not valid to Kies.
With ODIN I've tried 2 different kinds of 1-click flashes, one is stock w/ root, the other without root. And also the traditional ODIN3v1.85 with L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME that I got from stockroms.
so, help? anyone? :crying:
Had you taken the 4.3 OTA? If so, you will have to Odin the MK2 of MJA tar to get back to stock.

+1 That's what I was thinking too. I'm pretty sure on the E4GT if someone flashed the International version they needed to use a JTAG service to fix it. This is the first time I have read about this problem on this phone though so maybe not as bad???
As long as download mode boots, it's fixable.

Yes, I did have 4.3 before flashing. What is "MK2 of MJA"?

I'll try flashing anything I can get that works lol Part of the problem is all the different things I've attempted to flash via Odin have all failed. I'll try this and report.
EDIT: Is this the best mirror for this? It's terrrrribly slow.
I have bricked my phone by wiping data on the stock ROM with safestrap. I immediately regretted that decision. It was hung on the Galaxy S4 screen. I could get into recovery and download mode. I tried to flash the stock MF3 files using Odin, but it fails during write. Any ideas? I'm trying to find an MK2 stock image.
Thanks!
Edit: Found the TAR here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
Get the mk2 tar files and flash with odin. You'll be good as new.

Glad that u got your phone back..:good::good:
Is the mja Knox-free?
If it's yes....could I flash it alone without flashing whole stock mja .tar file?
I have mf9 bootloader at the moment.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
It has KNOX. And I am not sure what flashing it alone would get you anyway.

By flashing it I want to test it with kikat 4.4.2 of android.

I am running Negalite ROM and just recently updated my firmware to NAE using Odin, and now my signal is terrible, the data keeps cutting out. Is it possible to flash back to MJA using Odin, or can you not rollback? Or is there some update or change I can make to the APN or something to fix it? Thank you for any help you can provide.
Only modem is reversible via Odin. Anything else is NOT possible.

Thanks, does that mean I can flash the MJA or MK2 modem from post 2 in this thread and it should rollback fine? Thanks again.

The NAE modem package is not complete. If you skipped over MK2, you need to go back and flash it, then flash NAE on top of it. Otherwise, your reception will misbehave.
