I have tried everything to unroot and go back to stock and no matter what I flash or odin and restored my nandroid I still have MF9 under software version and baseband version. My WiFi is broke and I cant for the life of me just get back to MDC or MDL. My Kernel will change and my Build number just not the other things. So right now I have Software Version MF9, Baseband MF9 Kernel 3.4.0-529760 [email protected] #1 Sat Apr 27 18:12:21 KST 2013 and my Build is MDL. I don't care about wiping everything I just want to get back to MDC or MDL. I tried QBKING77 Unroot/Unbrick method also. IDk what to do, this MF9 is locked down.
Find a stock sprint rom from before the MF9 update and flash. Do NOT install the update afterwards- just know that the "update installed tap to download" will not go away unless you switch to a new rom. I might still have the pre MF9 file you can flash with Odin. You WILL be complete fresh out of the box. You will NOT be rooted. You WILL have to call the reactivate number (##72786#). You may actually be able to get it fixed with just the number. Let me dig for a few and if I find it I'll post it for you.

What I read is that MF9 is NAND locked, meaning that once you've updated you can't go back. I could be wrong, but it sounds like that's what you're running into if even Odin doesn't work.

Tried this and it said failed? I'm rooted with custom recovery right now should I try stock recovery? Not sure why that would make a difference?
*EDIT It is flashing now. I just closed Odin unplugged and reconnected my usb and reopened Odin and it started flashing immediately. We shall see.

This did not work. WiFi is still broke. And I still have the MF9 Baseband and Software Version. WTH. Well I will flash a TW ROM and then try this maybe. Or maybe with stock recovery and no root? Will report back.
Well I did the manual update to MF9 and it fixed WiFi as I thought it would. Might see if I can revert later or tomorrow to use Triangle Away while on MDL.
I know theres a sprint firmwares thread I just can't find the forsaken thing on tapa so try a search, usually google will deliver. I can't upload my zip as its too large.

Already downloaded the mdl one from Sammobile site it was a no go. Im okay for now and I think I can figure it out I was just hoping it was an easy fix I was overlooking. I had a terribly long night and day today. I just needed A WiFi wirking because my phone is usless in my area without it on 3g so I'm content for right now. Thank you again everyone.

I sure hope someone comes up with a successful unroot process. I have root, TWRP 2.6, and obviously cannot use Triangle Away to reset my counter.

I resolved the issue. Flash a mdl based rom. Then install the firmware and modem for mdl. Then use triangle away and then return to stock through Odin.

2. Then flash the MDL Firmware/Baseband here http://d-h.st/sCX (From Unknownfore's thread found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919)
3. Then flash the stock Odin file from SamMobile or here (This is the MDC file) http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unroot-and-unbrick-the-samsung-galaxy-s4/
4. Wipe data and boot up then root and use Triangle away. Then unroot and you should be good. :good:
The Knox Bootloader is.... Annoying
Anyone know if I could flash the MF9 tar in ODIN and revert back to the 4.2 Bootloader
do not you will even cause bigger problems stay cool untill a tar is released they are working hard to see what they can due the only choice you have no is to go to a ROM that is 4.3 but that I know of it is still un heard of KNOX is a whole new monster that I have a feeling is gonna tick a lot of people off love love love Samsung phones but they need to realize this could hurt them....

Don't worry......it's only a matter of time. If u need a stable rom, I highly recommend sac23's custom 4.3 rom. V3 will be out soon. This rom has made it easier to cope with 4.3, well easier for us who are stuck with the Knox......check out his thread. You'll love it.

I'm not sure what any of you are talking about. I updated to 4.3 a couple of days ago, then wiped and flashed a MDC tar with ODIN and brought it back to MF9 with OTA updates. Everything is fine.

I wiped everything in TWRP, and rebooted into download mode. Then flashed the tar with 3.07 and a PIT file. Uncheck reboot. Check Repartitition, Nand erase, and F. Reset Time. When it reboots it wiil update in recovery with the little andy dude, and then reboot to load up. I pull the battery and factory reset. It works fine. I updated to 4.3 friday morning. and decided to go back to MF9 so that I could use The HotSpot Mod and Reboot Menu. F**k 4.3...it was disapointing.
EDIT-----> READ ALL OF THE FOLLOW-UP POSTS BEFORE YOU TRY THIS.... MY PHONE HAD A UNIQUE SITUATION AND THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR MOST EVERYONE ELSE.

There is one problem. Now it won't update to MJA. Something is different, but I'm not sure what. I don't care if you don't believe me. I did it, and that is how I did it. There was one other issue. It kept redownloading the Sprint Default Configuration over and over and over. Like more than 50 times back to back.I finally deleted the apk to get that to stop. Outside of that, my phone works fine. I believe their are remnants of 4.3 and that is why it says the system is up to date on MF9 and does not prompt me for the 4.3 update. I really don't know, but m phone appears to be working perfectly.

The OTA. It doesn't recognize any update as being available anymore. It went from MDC to MDL to MF9 just fine. Then stopped. It says it's up to date now? I'm not sure what's going on with it, but I rerooted it and it works fine. I even innitialised it on KIES to set it all the way back to stock MF9 but it still won't show any update as being available for 4.3

I tried it just barely as I want to go back to my mf9 rom with the stock kernel. You get a secure error on pit and also a firmware revision error "fused 4 .... 1" can't remember what the word was where the dots were. It was a no go for me. I tried to odin back to mdc like was mentioned in the previous posts.
:EDIT Definitely don't try this. Caused my data partition to get corrupt. Couldn't format it. Couldn't pit restore it. Philz recovery couldn't mount it. Finally found an option to format data and sdcard. This allowed me to format data and restore. Once again Definitely don't try if you have the mja bootloader. (I'm back up and running and will let other figure this out.)
I just found out why I was able to go back to 4.2.2!!! When I updated to 4.3 via OTA a couple of days ago, I plugged it in to KIES 3 and noticed it said "PDA:MJA, Phone:MF9, CSC:MJA".... notice the phone says MF9! I don't know how that happened, but I didn't question it at the time because it was OTA. I thought it was supposed to be that way. Last night before I went to bed I manually flashed the 4.3 update zip after using KIES to initialise my phone back to complete stock. (It wouldn't load the zip when I was rooted) Anyways.... Well this morning I plugged it in to KIES 3 after flashing the 4.3 update.zip last night and it said MJA on all three. I'm not sure how that happened, but I only got part of the OTA update a couple of days ago it appears, and thus being, it is the reason I was able to revert. Sorry if I got anyones hopes up. I just went back and edited a warning in my first post with instructions.
Bummer!!! lol i was getting all excited.

I'm having the same issue that you had with the data partition being corrupt. I had stupidly tried to downgrade stock MJA to MF9 before checking with the forums if it was possible. It got stuck in the Firmware error message (can't remember what it exactly said), but got to restore it to a stock MJA. And now its data partition cannot be recognized in any computer. IE: Whenever I plug it into the computer it used to show that it is connected via USB and give me the MTP option. Now it will not even do that and I cannot access its data partition via the computer. Kies won't even recognize it.
How did you get to format data and sdcard?
EDIT: OK, dont know how, (I'm blaming crappy cable) but now I do have access to the phone. In other words it's working normal. But in case that this were to happen again, it would be awesome to know how to format data section, so as it can be recognized by the computer. Thanks in advance.
I downloaded the official OTA update. When I went to install it the phone needed to reboot and now I've been stuck looking at the Green Android screen saying Downloading... Do not turn off target!!! and in very small writing could not do normal boot, Odin mode. I am rooted. Please help
What version is the phone? I'm reading up on things in preparation of updating myself. I'm on MF3 and for what I've read I need to Odin back to stock before updating since I'm rooted. This may not be your case figured I'd toss it out there.

Ok I am going to try to go back to stock by using a firmware DL and Odin v3.07 If it works I will tell everyone. If not I may be screwed.
I'm currently on MF3 and had rooted my device previously and would like to upgrade to the new OTA. Would someone be so kind to link me to ODIN and the stock file,so I may return to stock and apply the OTA.
Thank you,

I'd recommend it but it's to late for me.
This worked for me to unroot.
To unroot, try this. It worked for me. I'm back to "official". However, I've downloaded 4.3 like 5 times already. I can download 100%, but when it reboots to install it stops at 30% then says update failed.

Same exact problem!
wading through threads for answer!
Ok I have my phone working again. I am not on 4.3 but its back to where it was before I started, which is better than nothing. After running Odin once and it failing like it always does (I have never seen it work) I was able to get the holding down volume, home and power button option to work and I just said no and to reboot and it worked. I then went into SuperSU app and unrooted. I will try to update to 4.3 at a later time. I am glad I wasn't the only one having issues. I usually pride myself on knowing technology and being able to figure it out.

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems.
So if I oden to stock again don't root Then hit the update it should go? Weird thing is I installed my back up today and it a stock backup fresh rich from a oden wipe and it stared DL on its own before I stopped it with killing WiFi. I s this 4.3 update or is it mf3 since I never did that update. ..help. Thanks

I then went into SuperSU app and unrooted. I will try to update to 4.3 at a later time. I am glad I wasn't the only one having issues. I usually pride myself on knowing technology and being able to figure it out.

Take it to Best Buy. "Kies broke your phone" *wink*wink* and they can flash it back to stock without messing up your data. You can do it yourself. Plus they have this mysterious awesome SMART tool. Lol

Use the link in my previous post (post #13). That has the files and procedures for using Odin to get back to stock 4.2.2 and then you can do the OTA upgrade from there.
Ok, I have a situation.
I recently updated from MF3 to MK2. I rooted and debloated. I should have froze the apps but instead deleted them. Anyways I put the phone on ebay and it ends up selling. So I:crying: try and restore to see if the stock bloatware would come back and it soft bricked.
Now I am stuck at screen with a yellow triangle saying firmware upgrade encountered a problem. :/
So my question is this. How do I get back to stock MK2 with bloat. Is there a file for Odin? Stock recovery zip? Anything? I NEED HELPPPPP!!!:crying:

cool, I did do some research. I tried the mf3 restore mentioned in another post that was known to fail but just to get to recovery. I can only get in download mode. NO RECOVERY. Also kies emergency did not work either. No clue what to do next.

Thanks guys for all your help, I ended up taking it into best buy. They didn't even know how to operate there system. So with my knowledge and they're system I was able to fix it correctly back to stock 4.3
Anyone have the MK2 files for I337? I accidentally did a system wipe with TWRP and can't ADB back.

Hey all, in need of a little assistance. I was running the tri-force 5.3 rom. loved it, but saw that 5.4 came out. I tried downloading it and got stuck at a screen where it said it had failed. i then tried to follow the steps by reflashing the stock rom and now i am stuck at the spash screen with the red and yellow words at the top. or it pops up saying System software not authorized by samsung has been found on your phone. with yellow triangle in the middle. Anyone know what i need to get past this screen? I believe i was running an MDL prior to this if it helps. I also can still get into the download screen (power + vol down)
If you were still in mdl then just odin back to mdl and start fresh again.

which files am i going to need to do this? if you could just point me in the right direction ill be able to figure it out. I appreciate it
We need to know what firmware you were on before you installed the custom rom. If you were on MF9 or older you can download the MF9 tar file and odin it to your phone. If you were on MJA or MK2, then you need to download the MK2 tar file and odin that.

im pretty sure it was MDL. i bought the phone in early january. is their a way to check without being able to go past the splash screen?
Alright I figured it out. All i was doing wrong was not installing the firmware in odin. got my phone back up and running. Now my problem is installing triforce 5.4. loved the rom, but everytime i flash it, it gets stuck at the splash screen. any suggestions?
