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.

Well I would do that but I factory reseted it so I don't think it will work if I'm not mistaken.

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

Well I would take a look at it but the link you provided is invalid :/
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. Thanks XDA for all your help and I plan to make a home out of this wonderful community .

Now I can't flash anything in Odin or from the SD card without getting a .jar error on the phone and a FAIL on the Odin. Please help! Ive tried to search and I have tried several things. Don't know which route to go at this point!

Thank you thank you!
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.

When you say "the tar file"- are you talking about the third one on the of the link you sent, the kernel?

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
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.

How would I go about doing that? I have tried copying the jellybean folder from the mf3 tar files on to my phone and going to install in SafeStrap, but I cannot install them as they dont even appear. Should I be going to a different place to install?
The modules are in the SS development thread. It is a zip file.

So now, is there any way I can get my phone back to stock? because my calendar and my dialer and contacts still don't work for me...
I think something happened when i installed the rom over my stock rom. whoops.
There are MF3 tar files. You can flash with Odin.

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.

Do you have a PC? The VZW installation software has a repair function as well and will completely wipe and reinstall latest stock version. Took me about 20 mins or so to do when I botched a root attempt. Hope this helps

Does not work with custom roms/safestrap installed.
Nobody else has help? I am surprised a community as large as this one has no help.
You will need to remove SS completely and it should work after that. Strange it didn't work for you. Have you tried the emergency recovery in kies3?

Well, this is my problem: Last day I was trying to delete carrier name from top left notifications bar, so I found a thread that shows how to do it, specifically modifying 3 lines of build.prop system file. After doing this my phone won't boot up anymore. It shows Samsung Galaxy S4 logo an then stays black.
My phone has stock firmware i337UCUFNC1, and rooted with towelroot.
Actually I am only able to get to stock recovery and download mode.
I've tried some options but getting no results since bootloader its locked I guess.
I made a backup of the original build.prop, but unfortunately I had no external sdcard at that moment, so the backup its on internal memory.
Any ideas where to get this solutions? Adb? Flashing bootloader?
There's always Odin. You're not going to be able to use adb with the stock recovery.

Thanks for your answer.
Well, I bet I did'nt use the proper stock firmware via odin, it fails at begining. I've tried with MDB and NB1 stock but get fail after NAND writes start (Auth). Until now I Can't find NC1 stock to flash it.
Any other suggestion to bring my phone back?
