Stuck At Sprint Screen, Cant Unroot! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Guys,
I tried to install the free wifi that QBKING had in his youtube channel. I was on MJA. What happened was I got stuck at the sprint screen.
Now I tried to Unroot the phone through downloading the tar file from QBKings website for sprint L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME.tar.md5
I checked the MD5 of the zip file once it was downloaded and it matched.
However, Now I don't have a dam phone because It keeps on failing in odin. I checked a few different usb ports.
With the message
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , Binary : 1
Can someone please help me!

First of all, you need to know what you are doing before you use old videos to update your phone. The latest software which was MJA, but is now MK2, you can't go back to older firmwares. MDC was the original firmware that was released with the phone when it came out in May. The best thing to do at this point is to download the MJA full tar file from sammobile.com or from the development section here. Odin it to your phone, you may need to do a factory reset afterward to get it to boot. Once your phone is on MJA you cannot odin any firmware that is older than MJA or you will end up bricked again. After that, you can reroot your phone using cf-autoroot and install a custom recovery. Then, find the MJA odexed hotspot mod here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256950 and flash that in recovery. Then you will be where you wanted to be.

Thanks for the reply,
As far as the Wifi hotspot. I just followed his advice on his website but instead downloaded the system files from the MJA Odexed zip found on his website here. :http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-get-free-native-wifi-hotspot-on-the-sprint-samsung-galaxy-s4/
I didn't think I would mess up my phone this bad
Is this the correct file for sprint?. The file I am trying to flash in odin. is Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 VPUAMDC (Android 4.2.2) – Download found on QBkings website http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unroot-and-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/.
But my phone keeps on failing in odin with the message I reported in my Original post.
So I should download the MJA file not the MK2 update? I really don't want to mess up my phone anymore then it already is. Could you please provide a direct link to the correct file to download in odin.
All I know is the tar file that Qbking is providing isn't working and keep on failing in odin.
Thanks again!

It sounds like you downloaded the correct hotspot mod in the first place so it shouldn't have failed. Very often, the odexed and deodexed files get mixed up and that is why it is best to download the file from the original post here on XDA.
As far as the tar file, yes you have to download the MJA tar file and odin it. The MK2 file is only an update file and must be applied after the MJA tar is odined. After downloading the tar file extract the zip and then use a newer version of odin. I believe odin 3 ver 3.07 works best. Put your phone in download mode and connect it to your computer and verify that the com port shows up in odin. Run odin as administrator in windows and load the file in the PDA spot. Uncheck all the check boxes except for reboot and it should work. If you need the MJA file I can send you a link to my dropbox via PM.

It looks like you are trying to install an old MDC tar, when you need to install the MJA tar, you can download it from here http://www.yourfavoritepainter.com/MJA_HOME.tar.zip
or you can go to http://sammobile.com/firmwares/ and find the latest version

It's still trying to install the MDC tar, I will pm you the link to the MJA tar.

Please forgive the ignorance
I'm stuck as well, I keep seeing "Odin this to your phone" but the file is a .zip file. How can I use Odin with a zip?

It likely needs to be extracted. Or maybe it's a one click?

OK, I now believe Odin referred to "Odin one click." I used TWRP to flash the zip and everything is working fine...

I am also having this problem, if i could have the link that would be greatly appreciated. I guess this QBking seems to be a hit for new rooters. Also i am downloading the MJA tar file that the other person posted on this thread. Is that a good idea or not?

If you have already installed kit kat aka 4.4.2 or NAE, you cannot Odin an older version. Since the MJA software you are trying to Odin is failing with an Auth error, that tells me you are already on NAE and must use the NAE full tar file to restore your phone. Look for it in the development section in a thread from Random45. His links have great download speeds.

[Q] Need PIT file for Galaxy S4 I9505

Hi Everyone
I've bricked my S4 stupidly by trying to install CF Auto Root without having USB Debugging enabled.
No my phone starts up telling me there was an incomplete upgrade and to continue it but kies can't seem to find anything.
I've tried reflashing the stock firmware but I keep receiving a error saying it can't find the PIT file for mapping.
Does anyone have one for the S4 I9505 INTL (UK) Variant.
Thanks

I've just downloaded your pit file. The problem here is I can't get back into my phone and I can only go into download mode. Initially I set USB Debugging as off and tried flashing. So now I'm stuck with a bricked phone.

remove pit file from folder and put it on desktop and the firmware and odin
use odin 3.07 or 1.85
change usb port and use original cable
if you can go in recovery (i doubt)make a wipe)
retry

glad to hear that, but usually it is flashed with the firmware if you would try again you will succeed......any way you make it :good:
Same happened with me, no matter how many times I tried flashing the PIT with the firmware, it just wouldn't have it at all.
When I flashed the PIT on it's own, it flashed fine, said reset, then booted back into android.
Glad you got it sorted though! It's scary when you see FAIL in big letters when flashing stuff! haha.
Read more, Learn more.....

but in some cases where there is a serious firmware issue, pit file will work only with flashing firmware
Please help, I need the PIT file for M919 (T-mobile), anyone have it? Pleaseeeeee.

reflash with i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4
wipe all
reflash with pit CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2 and pda I9505XXUAME2_I9505OLBAMDM_I9505DXUAME2_HOME.tar
Just a word from me guys.
Please don't underestimate power of changing USB port and/or USB cable. I've just been sitting on soft-bricked s4, nothing seemed to work, ODIN 3.x or 1.8, original firmware or third party ROM/recovery etc, PIT file, nothing could be overwritten. I restarted PC and instal/reinstall drivers.. nothing.
I've changed the cable and USB port to the rear one et voila, all worked as a charm.
good luck.

[Q] How to root after the latest update ?

Hi all,
I've just updated my Note3 SM-N9005 via kies to Build number N9005XXUDMK2 and now I can't flash root, It fails every time...
My version is N9005XXUDMJ7 and my build number is N9005XXUDMK2.
I don't know if it has something to do with it, but when I enter download node I see a gray line saying: "Write protection: Enabled".
Can anyone please tell me how can I gain root access again ?
I'm tring to flash this file: "CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5" with "Odin3 v3.09.exe"
which I found in this site: http://true-android.blogspot.co.il/2013/12/root-n9005xxudmk2-galaxy-note-3-sm.html

Can you paste the Odin log after it fails?
Also you may have the new updated CF Root which has been adapted for KitKat and doesn't work with 4.3 anymore.

Can you paste the Odin log after it fails?
Also you may have the new updated CF Root which has been adapted for KitKat and doesn't work with 4.3 anymore.

Gave the same error using the original file you used from the first time? -- It is possible it doesn't like MK2, however it should work because I used it fine when I was on it.. Try re-downloading it again and trying again (I don't have it anymore, only the KK version )
Here is the log of the first file

PLEASE...Can you please help me to re-root my phone.
(And if you can, please send me a link to download root for the KitKat version so that I can re-root it when the update will rollout in my country.)
Just to double check -- you are flashing it via the PDA option correct? and you have unrar'd it so you can see the tar.md5 file ?
yes

Yes I am.
But in odin 3.9 there is AP and not PDA.
But I tried both in both odin versions: 3.7 and 3.9.
In odin 3.7 I am using PDA, and in odin 3.9 I am using AP.
Hmm I am stumped I'm afraid. Usually re-flashing it normally works. See if anyone else will chime in and know the answer.

Do you think doing "Wipe cache partition" can fix it ? I don't realy knkow what it means...
Can you please send me a download link for rooting after updating to KitKat ? So I could use it when the update rolls out in my country

When it rolls out it may be a different version of KK than is currently compatible with CR Root. Better waiting til it comes out then seeing what is available.
**[Side Note... If you want KK now you can flash the Official XEO version depending on your Model (IF Hong Kong then it won't work) - and you can root on that without issue after flashing, but you cannot go bac to 4.3 again]**
hmmm

I prefer to wait till an official KK will roll out and update via kies.
Can you please tell me if I do "Wipe cache partition" will fix the root failure probloem ?
I don't realy know what this wipe does...

On the settings page under security..make sure you have reactivation lock uncheck...
Than try again..that's usually the problem
It's always something so simple, Not turned activation lock on myself so never had an issue with it. Glad you got sorted thouugh.

Note 3 SM-N9005 Firmware Issue & Device Recognised As 'Samsung GT-S5690'

Hi all,
I've heard great things about this website and joined up hoping to God you could help me. I tried updating the firmare on my phone to 4.4.2 from 4.3 using Odin3 v3.07 and it stopped suddenly with an error message and now my Note 3 continuously displays:
“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“
I have looked extensively through the threads already started but couldn't find a solution particularly as Kies is not recognising my device anymore stating it is an unsupported device, furthermore, 'MobileGo' software is showing the device as being a 'Samsung GT-S5690', instead of Note 3??. I tried Odin to recover back to original firmware but failed both times and phone now stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.
My Mobile details are:

Thanks, once I have used Odin v3.09 to flash cwm recovery, will I still need to flash back to stock or will it simply work?

You will have to flash stock firmware 4.4 before your phone will work again. Simply flashing cwm will get you to cwm recovery but not a working phone.

Hi, I have found a tutorial on flashing ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5 but it states:
"Must enable USB Debugging first" and also "Must let Reactivation lock off first", is this absolutely necessary as I can't access my phone, let alone its settings? Can I still proceed with installing ClockworkMod Recovery?

Don't follow that one.
Go here and download the right file for your phone's model, put phone in download mode and flash using odin in ap/pda slot.
Btw, have you tried flashing 4.4 using odin v3.09?
When odin gives you the fail message technically you've already flashed the stock, but for some reason odin doesn't recognise it as a pass. .leave your phone plugged in, reset odin, put your phone into download phone and then flash recovery. . Hey presto your phone will wake up..

I don't think this is the case because when I first tried flashing from 4.3 to 4.4.2 it tried for a few seconds then failed and been stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“ despite resetting Odin and going back into download mode, tried reflashing but keep getting the 'FAIL' (logs posted in original first post).
Is there any reason why my phone is being detected as 'Samsung GT-S5690' in MobileGo? I'm thinking if Kies could detect it as the Note 3 again my problems would be solved.
I haven't tried Odin v3.09 because to be honest I thought the firmware file once extracted as a RAR file could only be read by Odin v3.07 is that not the case?
Soz everyone

looks like u r trying to flash 4.3 & 4.4 one after one, now dont try 4.3 at all, make sure kies is not running in baground, disable antivirus if any.
I had the the same issue with kies myself, tried every trick in the book before I tried the method I mention above.. maybe it's an issue with the phone itself, or a certain batch of phones?

The writing of stock 4.3 fails since your bootloader was updated by your failed attempt. You will probably never be able to write a 4.3 stock image.
The writing of 4.4 NB1 fails since probably it is for a slightly different region with a slightly different partitioning scheme. Ideally install the 4.4 for your specific model/region. If that fails you might need to write some 4.4 with repartition - there are some threads around (I think also the Hong-Kong version had serious problems with 4.4 because of that).

I saw the Hong Kong thread and to be honest got lost reading the posts, i'm beginning to think this is going to be a task beyond my capabilities as not the most technologically minded of people and need to be spoon fed. Is there an easy way to find out if I have a Hong Kong version phone? I brought it from e-cell on Ebay a couple of months ago?
If using a different version of Odin such as v3.09 once the firmware file is extracted where does it go as v3.07 is goes in the PDA section?
Many thanks

I don't think there is an easy way to see what the original version was as long as you can no longer boot the phone. I think the EU model is generally listed as N9005ZWE while the HK is N9005ZKA and that might be written somewhere on the box. Also it might be a different partitioning model even if it is not a Hong-Kong model.

I've taken the phone to a repair shop recommended by Samsung themselves, they've had it a week now and I rang yesterday and they said it is the first Hong Kong Note 3 they've received and are waiting to hear from Samsung as to how to repair it. BIG YAWN!
Will keep you posted - miss my phone
Note 3 SM-N9005 firmware upgarade issue
Hi , i am having the same problem in my Note 3 i upgraded phronesis rom and after the phone was not detected in computer. so tried to flash custom kitkat rom again then it got disconnected and then showing error as firmware upgrade issue,
tried to download firmware and update by Odin, tired cmw recovery and tried many firmwares, Odin shows Failure and Kies dosent shown code or phone in emergency recovery , all ways failed, is it possible to make the phone work normal.

[Q] verizon Note 3 odin error, soft brick?

Hello,
My brother has a 32gb Verizon Note 3 4.4.2. He managed to root his device and used safestrap, but somehow removed his stock rom and wound up in download mode to try to attempt to completely wipe it and install the original firmware. When following the steps in ODIN, there is a failed error. It reads:
Enter CS for MD5..

Anyone have any clue what the best route is to just completely wipe the phone and somehow get it working again? I'd really appreciate it.
Try the nc2 or nc4 firmware those are the 4.4.2 kitkat ones. Mi9 is 4.3 jellybean, it wont let you odin back to mi9

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the difference, how could I find out? I know it was updated to 4.4.2

It says MI9 in the firmware package. You downloaded the wrong one.

Yes you were on NC2 or NC4 kit kat and you tried to put a Jellybean stock MI9 rom on that will not work you have to find the NC4 tar file and flash in odin the letter n numbers that we refer to are the the last 3 of the actual tar stock file ex MI9 - MJ7 - MJE are jellybean stock/ NC2 - NC4 are Kit kat stock. You need to NC4 stock tar file…

[Q] AT&T Galaxy S4 Soft bricked phone-can't ODIN restore

I have been searching threads for 6 hours, but haven't found anything conclusive.
I rooted my phone a while back, but today I decided to install a new custom ROM. I backed up the ROM to my external SD and installed the new one through safestrap. However, when I tried to reboot, I just got stuck on a screen that says samsung and has an open lock.
I am able to get into download mode, but not into recovery. After I boot into download mode, it says write protection:enabled (not sure that is normal, but I thought I would mention it). I open up Odin and the drivers seem to load fine. I have tried a a few versions of ODIN and two different Stock ROMs, but it fails every time. On my phone, after it fails, I get a message that says SW Rev. Check Fail: fused 2, binary: 1.
In ODIN, I get the following:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Can someone please help me? I'm getting kind of desperate.
Have you tried another USB cable?.
I have actually. The original cable and just another one I had. Also, tried it on 3 computers.
Should I be loading a PIT file? some places say to do it and others say not to.

The problem is you're trying to flash mdl firmware and you're not on that version. It looks like you're on mf3. There is no Odin flashable mf3 firmware so I'd suggest you flash the nb1 tar file. See the general forum for the file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149
