[Q] Custom recovery on Galaxy s4 AT&T - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello. I have a rooted AT&T Samsung Galaxy s4 running 4.2.2. I am trying to flash cyanogenmod11 and have had no luck even loading a recovery. I first tried to flash twrp 2.6.3.1 from GooManager. It said that it flashed successfully, but when I tried to boot into recovery, it looked like it was in download mode and I got the message:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
CSB-CONFIG-LISB: 0X30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
The only way I can get out of this mode is by pulling the battery, going into download mode, then pressing cancel. I tried the same thing with ROMManager using both CWM and TWRP. Same problem.
Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks!

You're kidding right? Do some reading.

I have read up on this, but there's nothing I can find that works. Everywhere just tells me how to get it into the OS, not how I can load a ROM.

Where are all these noobs coming from just having phones that are already magically rooted and just automatically think they can flash a custom recovery. Great you just lost your stock recovery..... But no fear, search mf3 md5 files. flash it fresh through odin 1.75 and then root not using a one click. You don't deserve root if you can't format a card and run a few simple terminal commands.... Just my opinion. Oh is your gs4 red also....?

Here is a little tut I wrote some time ago. Providing everything for you besides the main files you'll need so you'll learn how to search.
You should realy read.... All of us on MF3 know that !!... That was one of the fist ways to boot back up. Safe strap is going to be a savior for you.... Basically this has been discussed a million times..... If you are on MF3 you cannot downgrade you can only upgrade or stay on MF3, If you want 4.3 sooooo bad I will link it for you. But I suggest staying patient. There is nothing really that improved over 4.2.2. So I would advise you not to upgrade but I will post the links and tell you how to do it. One if you were smart you would have made a nandroid backup thru SS and then when you boot into that you stay on the stock rom slot. Hit then go in and write your backup just the system folder.... So you won't lose all of your data. Now if you didn't make a nandroid backup. Then you can try flashing the stock recovery and fixing the permissions thru safe strap..... IF that doesn't work well you are just up the creek.....
HAHAHAHA. JK Get odin and get the MF3 Tar.MD5 files But your phone manually into odin mode and Go back to stock MF3. Seriously read, read, read. I will make it real easy for you this time. By posting links but you are just asking for it. So first grab these files: https://mega.co.nz/#!WEEzSA7Z!aB46731_AwM7P83eMdDlmFYd1hUZfFBcQAZjc1X7wAE These are the stock MF3 files that were contributed to the community by Shockndrop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003
Now grab Odin, I prefer this one: ODIN 1.85 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262272
Now put the MD5 files in their proper places in odin and and hook your phone up with a Good **** Solid Universal Serial Bus Cable: Like pitured here:

Put her down into a coma AKA, ODIN Recovery mode manualy by holding power, home, and volume down. Then when prompt after the warning volume up to continue. Flash with Odin to restore to stock MF3. Brand Spaking new!!!!
Use your favorite root Method, New root method is the only one we support here on XDA, Which involves an SD Card,and the Terminal from the Play store. Or if you want the fast and dirty way because you are lazy do the Kingo root, I don't indorse it, but I have yet to hear anything negative about it, other than speculation. Links: http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm - one click method Easy.
Old proper way: Quoting Jortex "HOWTO:
Use a card reader to format the micro SD card to exFAT (FAT32 or other formats does not work) in Windows. I haven't tried Linux or MacOS X, so they may not work.
Download the attached file (Root_for_ATTSG4_FM3.rar) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2165629&d=1375669716 and extract it into the root of your EXTERNAL microSD card using the card reader in Windows. (You can do the extraction using WinRAR, http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm or 7-zip, http://www.7-zip.org/download.html ).
Put the SD card back to the phone and download the Android Terminal Emulator app.
Open the Terminal Emulator app and run below 3 commands:
Code:
cd /mnt/extSdCard
./pwn
./script.sh
Then, open SuperSU and check everything looks good.
Then open a root app and it should be working properly.
Reboot your device once to confirm root is still working after reboot.
Come back to the post and press the THANKS button
Notes:
I uploaded a screenshot from the Terminal screen where the instructions are entered. Yours should be the same except you don't need to enter the "ls -l" command. It's just to show what files I have on the SD card. Ignore LOST.DIR directory.
Remove any SuperSU apps from your phone before following the above steps. script.sh installs it automatically.
You can use adb shell instead of a terminal app which is more convenient but requires Android SDK. Follow these steps only if you are about to use adb:
Download and install all Samsung Galaxy S 4 drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I337ZWAATT#
Activate Developer options -> USB Debugging mode. To have the phone show the Developer options, go to Settings -> More -> About device. Tap on "Build number" 6 times.
You have to use an external SD card. No other alternative have been found yet. Using the device storage, i.e. /mnt/sdcard, or /data/local/tmp, DOES NOT work.
Warning (suggested by rushi.1986): "We have root for MF3 but we neither have a working recovery, nor an ODIN back to stock package. Be very careful what you do with your root. At this point, there is no way to recover even from a soft brick. (unless you know exactly what caused the soft brick and can correct it using adb)"
For those who do not know how to format an SD card on Windows (thanks to jee'sgalaxy):
Insert the micro SD into the computer (may have to use a reader or a micro SD adapter).
Go to "My Computer".
Right click on your SD card that showed up.
Click Format.
Choose exFAT as the format.
Click "OK".
Don't forget to press the THANKS button.

Next install your only way as of now to run custom roms period in your current situation and you should be incredibly grateful instead of saying that you want 4.3 soooooo bad....... really not tooo many benefits at all. Now 4.4 KittyKit lol is a different story..... So grab the latest and greatest version of safestrap from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=1814&task=get
After Flashing Any Compatable Rom flash these every time Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=508
They are the MF3 modules you will need them for wifi to work.
Transfer to sd card install just as you would a regular unknown source APK File..... Tick that in settings Security tab. Also hit your build number 20 times to unlock developer options and always have usb debugging on.
Now boot into safe-strap and dump a nandroid backup and you will be good to go. All thanks to the HashMan aka HashCode, And his sexifing SS. Okay now that you have a backup do anything of your hearts content. Just don't be fooling around with the bootloaders code.... this can really turn your cell phone into a paper weight.
Now here is a list of known compatable roms with SS:

As for the 4.3 Odin files...... I think you can find them yourself it would be ignorant for me to post them for you.

You are right. I am a newb at this. My last phone was a Motorola Triumph, and I had no problems flashing ROMs on that. So I would flash the md5 file (d-h.st/AuY) through odin 1.75 and then flash CWM? My phone is white. Didn't even know they made it in red.
Thank!

I was just giving you a hard time... LOL. That is why we are here is to help not bring you down. I remember my first line of code.... Boy! jk. Any questions. v 1.85 works best for me. But just make sure you have a very good usb cable and strong connection. I have bricked a phone with Odin on MF3.

Are the only supported ROMs the ones listed, because I want to flash the cm11 nightly for KitKat?

Only SafeStrap recovery works with MF3 4.2.2. Currently there is a test going on for 4.3 MK2. It only flashes 4.2.2 if on MF3 or 4.3 on MK2. Only Touchwiz roms can be flashed although certain GE roms also do work.
You wont be able to flash kitkat roms or any aosp roms sadly.

The closest you will get to the pure vanilla android we all have become accustomed to is the GPE roms. Just Usb does't work. Personally my fine was on hyperdrive. Originally a Verizon rom but made compatible to all other variants. It is an awesome rom. Anything with 4.2.2. will work so just look for those in the link's in the dev section on the titles of roms. Make sure you flash those modules after. Good luck.

cannot load the MF3 modules
Hi all,
I have been trying to go through the whole process multiple times only to be blocked when trying to load the MF3 kernel modules.
- I have a AT&T MF3 S4
- installed SS 3.65
- tried a couple ROMS, ge4.2.2clean-20130907, INTIKA.LOCKY.MF3.MH8.ST.DEODEX, I9505_-_Google_Edition_Final-v1_by_Jamal2367
- all boot, even if only after a couple minutes
- LTE 4g works
- Bluetooth works
- installed the MF3 modules. I even checked that they are identical from the modules used in the Stock ROM.
- None of the modules can load within the custom ROMS. To verify, I tried to insmod manually, I get this error :
insmod: init_module 'dhd.ko' failed (Exec format error)
Looking at the messages :
4>[ 3120.892608] TIMA: lkmauth--launch the tzapp to check kernel module; module len is 620372
<3>[ 3120.898956] QSEECOM: __qseecom_get_fw_size: error with request_firmware
<3>[ 3120.899200] TIMA: lkmauth--cannot get tzapp handle from kernel.
This happens with any modules, not only the dhd wifi driver. I verified that I could rmmod/insmod everything fine when running the stock ROM.
I researched this as much as I could. There are comments about non-signed modules, but here, the modules are the exact ones from Samsung stock image.
Has anyone seen something like this ?
Since it seems that many people are successful with this, is there something that I am missing ?
Thanks,
Philippe

Try downloading the modules again. I've never had issues with any of those ROMs. You got the module zip from the Safestrap OP?

Do we need to restore the original kernel as well (boot.img from stock) ?

When using safestrap it never touches the kernel, so your stock should be in place and you can't restore it except by reflashing the whole MF3 system, which you may have to do. I'm not sure why it would be blocked. You flashed them right after installing the ROM and before booting into the ROM right?

[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.2.3 flashable zip (update 2012-12-19)

Hey Guys
I am sharing the latest CWM recovery images; CWM 6.0.2.3.
To be straight, I used Koush's Recovery Builder to build these
latest recovery images in touch.
And so I do not take any credit, all of it to Koush. Also, I didn't
publish a thread for this in development section since I didn't
perform any development on this.
Download link:
ClockwordMod Touch 6.0.2.3-p3100
ClockwordMod Touch 6.0.2.3-p3110
ClockwordMod Touch 6.0.2.3-p3113
How to build on your own?
Visit the Recovery Builder
Click on the "Existing Devices" tab.
Now under the Existing Devices dropdown, select "p3100" or your device.
Tick "Touch Recovery" option if you desire for the touch variant, otherwise do not touch it.
Now click on the blue colored "Build" tab.
The page will then prompt you with a reference build ID, take note of it.
Now continue to build server.
Look for the corresponding build ID.
Once its done, click on it.
You can now download your "recovery.img" build.
How to flash?
Flash through CWM recovery.
Updated the OP with the newer version and a flashable zip.
Hope you enjoy it.
If You like just hit the thanks button.
I did instal on my tablet and worked without any problem.
I just want to say I´m not responsible for any brick, damage or anything else that happens to your tablet.
i need to sign in to the site to download right ?
any other testers here ?
thanks a lot for sharing...have you wiped and flashed files from it ?
You don't need to wipe. You flash it with Odin as another cwm recovery.
After installed I flashed some goodies and made a backup and worked perfectly.
If someone else test it will be great if and some feedback for other people.

I went thru the steps for the p3113 (my version of the 7" tab 2) and it outputs a recovery.img file after about 5 minutes to build it, how do I make that an Odin flashable .tar like you have?
I have attached the recovery.img to this thread for the p3113 if it's simpler for you to do it then to walk me through it, any help would be appreciated.

No It won't.
I did an update to the thread with link for .tar images files to p3110 and p3113. Thanks to @daniel644 to build the image file for p3113 and @monfro to build the image file for p3110.
Here is a guide to build a .tar file to flash with odin.
You have to use the commands below with Linux. Just make sure you are in the correct folder to make the commands. It's good to put the file in the personal folder as the terminal always open in this folder.
$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar
$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5
I have downloaded the 3113 version twice. Odin always says md5 does not match and then fails the flash. Any ideas?

Finally decided to flash CWM and Root and ROM all in one night, wanted to see how long the stock ROM on a full charge would last using it as strictly a music player for when driving (22 DAYS for the record).
Honestly, as much as I like being able to TOUCH what I want to do it's just ugly and you have to scroll to see anything, but here is another user confirming the build for the P3113 works perfectly.
Now running this ROM as my first Custom on this device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028663
Now all I need is for Supercurio to release his Voodoo Sound with Tab 2 support, he said when he releases the one for the WM1811 in the S3 it will also do our Tab 2's, OH YEAH!!!
Op Updated with the newer version.
Tested for p3100 end works good with no problem with the flashable zip.
If someone can test the other zips and say it's ok I'll be really grateful.
You can also get this CMW Recovery by downloading ROM Manager and let the app update it by itself.
Can You update the ClockworkMod Touch Recovery for p3100, p3110, p3113 to the version 6.0.2.7 ???

if you need 3110 then just build the recovery.img using the link in the OP and use winrar to "insert" that recovery.img into the zip replacing the one in the zip, thats how the p3113 builds where made.
I have a problem with flashing. I want to flash AOKP, but first I need CWM and root (obviously). I set USB debug settings. I'm using Odin, and I flash CWM, Odin says PASS and everything is green. But when I restart and boot into recovery the stock rcovery shows up. I'm on stock JB rom btw.
Other methods say that I should use Rom Manager which needs root which needs CWM in the first place.
I'm baffled here, what am I doing wrong?

your VERY FIRST boot up that you do has to be straight into CWM after using Odin to flash the .tar, which is why your supposed to uncheck auto reboot and f reset time in Odin, if your tablet boots up it will automatically revert back to stock recovery.

[Q] hyperdrive rls12 install problems

Hello peeps a Happy New Year to all!
I tried searching the forums and google but no luck on my case. I am trying to install hyperdrive and am following instructions, downloaded files multiple times on multiple computers and i337m itself. Aroma opens fine and works through fine untill it tries to flash kernel it says:
flashing kernel
file_getprop: failed to stat "/tmp/aroma/kernel.prop": No such file or directory.
So I thought it was just missing a kernel, so continued and installed the att compatibility pack and all i get is ODIN/download mode. I then tried flashing kstoonez kernel and same thing.
I am using Philz Touch latest version on Canadian s4
Any ideas?

the kernel error is common just proceed as you did
did you wipe all including system before flashing? i don't usually wipe in aroma unless no choice given
did you choose your correct carrier--who is your carrier--that info helps us tp help you--
i don't have i337m so can't be specific on things relating to that phone. you say i337m and i337 is in your sig
if you have i337 you need to flash loki-doki after rom
maybe try twrp--i use 2.5.0.2--i have, and there is a flashable zip for it (i337)
got to go for now--

Thank you both for your replys, your help is very much appreciated.
So I wiped it with recovery not aroma.
Carrier is Fido (Rogers subsidiary)
Phone is Canadian S4 variant (SGH-I337m) I believe it is the same as i337 (The m being a canadian designation) but don't quote me on that.
I was under the assumption that Canadian s4 Didn't need lokidoki.
Can you elaborate on safestrap?
No matter what I try it goes boots to download mode. Even if I plug it in to charge not pressing any power button.
Canadian s4 doesnt need loki doki. And your not on safestrap if you have twrp.
As far as your problem. Did it complete the install of the rom even after it said it failed the kernel?
I suggest installing then flashing a 4.3 tw kernel for your device before rebooting system. You shouldn't need a compatibility pack as your not att. Plus im pretty sure the compat pack has loki in it which may cause problems. I also remember philz recovery as having auto loki. So I dont know if you've used philz recovery b4 successfully. If you haven't then id suggest trying twrp. Definitely just try a kernel for your device though. Ktoons worked for me. Other kernels left me stuck at spash screen

I believe that my phone's bootloader is unlocked (as with most other jtflecan models), but again don't quote me. As a result I have never used safestrap. Should/could I still use it if my bootloader is unlocked?

It seemed that way as that was the only error, and aroma proceeded through. First time I tried without the ATT compatibility pack, no go, then with and still no go. Then i tried with a few kernels and same thing.

I transitioned from cwm to philz for ntfs capability as my external sdcard is ntfs. I remember reading somewhere that autoloki was not included and some have complained about it so im not sure if it was added in a later build. In any case I just tried flashing twrp and got a mushy brick.
Now Im curious if I should restore to original and use safestrap or what as my phone does nothing but odin mode.
As always thanks for your valued input.
Your boot loader is definitely not locked. If it was you wouldnt have a custom recovery. So you don't need safestrap. Just restore and reroot and get a recovery. What you put on your phone after that is up to you. I know hyperdrive wouldn't boot for me with most kernels it was just stuck on the splash screen. But it booted for kt kernel. I would honestly find another Rom if I was in the same position
MINI UPDATE:
Phone was bootlooping so I tried to restore to stock 4.2.2 but ODIN failed continuously. Tried 4.3 stock (mk6) and odin failed, tried older odin and succeeded but it bootlooped and went to the kies upgrade error. Tried multiple Computers (2PC 1OSX) multiple ports and cables and all failed.
Trying to figure this out but not much help out there with regards to canadian s4, att guides ok? any suggestions? trying kies restore now but kies hangs after it downloads firmware. urgh

Thanks for any help
You cant get into recovery? Only odin? Just keep looking around. I bet its because the aroma flashed a incomplete flash. But I dont know the difference between i337 and i337m so I dont know what to tell you. I suggest keep trying to Odin. If it doesn't work I believe theres a tool to force a stock image onto the phone but I cant remember what its called

no i only get odin.
phone only turns on when plugged in to usb on pc, otherwise unresponsive to hardkeys.
Every instance of ODIN flashing fails. No matter which firmware or computer i used, either write failure or PIT failure. both of which im attributing to an incomplete flash, and its making me think that the partition tables are chewed.
im stumped and phonless
any idea what that app was called? google yields no results
thanks for your help
Heres something to read. I dont know if you need the.Canadian pit or reg att pit. Dont just flash one. Get informed first

Thank you very much for that link. It summed up everything i have been reading for the past 24 hours, but alas i have yet to figure out which pit to use, whether I can use the att pit, wind (different provider, uses aws (2 different frequencies from gsm standard) as opposed to gsm although they may have changed that recently),find a rogers pit, since they and fido are essentially the same network or continue searching for a fido pit.
Knowing what the pit does, would it really be carrier specific (asides from the difference in radios between fido/rogers and wind)? Is it ROM version and android version specific?
Update:
-Have Tried all options for recovery in KIES on multiple Pcs and Multiple Macs
-Download/Odin Mode Reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337M
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB; 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
START [224,1440]
BAR [240,1440​
Questions:
Before this whole fiasco ODIN didnt show KNOX. I assume thats from the 4.3 revert i tried?
Does Write Protection have anything to do with it? I do recall being able to odin flash with this before.
eMMC Burst is new to me, havent seen this before
BAR pops up before failing but not seconds before, maybe a minute before.
Still Stumped
Edit: Even if i were to find the pit file, i cant seem to find modem, csc, and bootloader to add to odin. (unless they are all combined in that md5 file) so i wouldnt be able to flash until having all the necessary items as pit rewrites the partitions and all data is lost.
i also remembered one odd thing, may or may not apply here, but just before flashing to hyperdrive, i was not able to properly format. it would take a few tries to format data or whichever for example, before files were actually gone.
tried reverting to MDJ got vibrate loop
trying again to MK6

Hi, I am currently having this problem after trying to install RLS15.
After trying to flash the new ROM, phone would not boot, and I was no longer able to install ROMS or Restore backups.
When I would try to restore a backup, it would get to Restoring Data, and immediately fail.
When installing the ROM and its kernel, I got the same message as you:
flashing kernel
file_getprop: failed to stat "/tmp/aroma/kernel.prop": No such file or directory.
I've tried:
flashing kernels before flashing the ROM
re-install of Loki + TWRP + Motochopper Casual (Did not revert back to stock before doing this)
flashing the AT&T Compatibility pack.zip for RLS15 Before and After flashing the ROM
Fixing permission
I've noticed once or twice, when trying to restore a backup, a message in TWRP saying that SuperUser was not installed, and it asked if I wanted to install it. So I did the "Swipe to install" in TWRP, but the phone quickly reboots and again doesn't get passed the boot logo.
Sooo, I'm not too sure where to start on this one

What variant do you have?
So I figured out my problem. In TWRP recovery, I went to mounts, and mounted my micro SD card. It was mounted to internal memory and I guess that was screwing up flashes. Hope this works for you too!

Difficult Soft Brick - Need Urgent Help

I think it's a soft brick because I can get into download mode. Flashing anything in Odin fails. I posted this in xBeerDroidx's All In One Guide:
I went through the entire process of
1. returning to stock MF3 (I was using SafeStrap 3.65 and Hyperdrive 10.1 successfully...wanted to try the MK2 > SafeRoot > SafeStrap 3.71 > HD Rls 12)
2. Ran Update.zip successfully, got to MK2
3. Ran SafeRoot - successfully rooted phone
4. Installed SafeStrap 3.71 APK - no issues
5. From SS Recovery, installed HD Rls12 went OK but had an issue with the reboot menu
6. Installed the AT&T compatibility pack, still had issues with reboot menu, so I thought I'd re-run the HD RLS12 install
7. Went into SS Recovery, did a wipe but this time I did a system wipe...this is where I FU'd, I think
8. Still in SS recovery, I then hit the reboot button...my OS was gone so it stayed on the Samsung screen indefinitely.
I can still get into Download mode, but when trying to reflash the 4 MF3 files via Odin, I get a fail every time. I've tried to flash just the Platform, or all but the bootloader, (thinking this was where my write error occurred), and it seemed to go OK but still failed.
I'm stuck with a phone that can enter Download mode but that's it.
And was advised to get the .PIT file for my device. I found what was said to be the proper .PIT file for my build (MF3). I tried flashing the .PIT alone, and it seemed to do something, then reset my phone, but when the phone re-booted, it had a yellow triangle and a statement about unauthorized software. It would go no further. So I added the .PIT file to Odin, along with the other 4 MD5 files, and I get these results every time:

This is where you went wrong... once you update to MK2 it is IMPOSSIBLE to downgrade to a lower firmware due to hardware related issues caused by the MF3 update. Go back the this thread and read how to go use your semi-bricked MF3 device to upgrade back to stock MK2. As for running stock MF3 your never again be able to unless the bootloader is unlocked at some point. This was stated multiple times in many threads around the forum... please take your time to read and search before jumping into things. It can be assumed with any future S4 upgrades that you are committing to that update with no chance of returning to a previous one.
You are the man! I've already flashed the MJ6 recovery successfully, and am in the process of downloading the MF3 emergency files. Hopefully, before too long, I'll have my S4 back, humming away on Hyperdrive RLS 12!! As a side note, I see you're on GPE 4.2.2. When I first loaded SafeStrap and was able to load ROMs, I tried using a GPE ROM and was running into nothing but trouble. Hyperdrive 10.1 ended up being my daily driver until I caused this mess. Did you have to do anything special to get the GPE ROM working properly?

Nope, flashed it to the stock slot, then the MF3 modules. It's one of the many reasons I haven't updated to MK2 yet... I have no desire to have my phone locked down further. I'm just monitoring how Safestrap evolves, along with the BypassLKM exploit.

Thanks Ted. Would you mind giving me a hand with this? NightHawk pointed me to your thread, but I am unsure whether to use the "
MK2_UNBRICKED_METHOD_(HARD-BRICKED)" or the separate files to recover from a soft brick - "ONLY USE THESE IF U (SOFT-BRICKED)". I tried both, unsuccessfully unfortunately, but maybe I missed something.
When going through the soft-bricked files, "Stock Recovery" and "Stock Modem" seems to check out fine, according to Odin's MD5 verification. The last one, labeled "Boot" failed the MD5 check. I put Stock Recovery in PDA, Stock Modem in Phone and was attempting to put BOOT in BOOTLOADER. Maybe I did something wrong? Should I flash them one at a time?
Thanks in advance, and yes, I did hit your Thanks button, and will keep doing so every time I log in!!
John
Also, I assume Deadly Venom is a TW 4.3 ROM? Maybe I'll give that one a shot if I ever recover this wonderful piece of equipment!

One part I don't understand is in gtj0's guide, lines 7&8:
7. Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
8. The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install...
He says force the phone into Download mode, and re-start Odin. The very next line says 'the phone should now re-boot'. What happens after line 7 that we needed Odin for?
That was If you coming from MJ6 his original thread to go back to Mj6 and then use the MJ9 update zip..... Since we coming from newer rom MK2. ... It would stuck on download mode .... That's when u need to install stock recovery .... Either Recovery.mj6.tar.md5 or i337mk2 stockrecovery.tar.md5 (either way worked) and then u need to force reboot to stock recovery. ..and then flash mf3> Mk2 update zip. ... follow post#2 on how to update. .... There is two method. ....apply update via external card or using adb sideload...... Goodluck

I went back through Post 3, re-downloaded all the files, everything has gone as you suggest it would to this point. I am re-downloading the update.zip file (MF3>MK2) from post 1 and am about to do the final step in the process. This is the exact same process I used yesterday when I tried to recover this the first time, but once I got to the step of side-loading the update file, I got an 'Error 7' failure from the 'asserts' line in the update script. Hopefully a re-DL will make things right this time! Keep wishing me luck!
Update: New DL for update.zip completed late. Just finished final step with the same failure as before:
Verifying current system....
assert failed: apply_patch_check( "system/SW_Configuration.xml", "acdd86b773e13cca512e4bb4f7c88a8489640994", "428f3b805bef7bc04df9eab6b262ff39f416cc41")
E:Error in /tmp/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?
Update: I'm back to MK2. The process was a bit painful, but if you follow the instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618314, you will recover. Just read everything first!! I actually recruited help from a patient buddy that got me to MJ9, then I used the Update-mj9-mk2.zip file to takeme the rest of the way.
Special thanks to Ted77 for his patience, guidance and files!! (Yes, I will hit your 'Thanks' button!)

This thread saved my butt two nights ago. Soft bricked my phone and this got me back and running. I'd say this is the other "restore to mj5" thread. I had no ROM on my phone and rebooted then got stuck on galaxy note 3 screen. It's even way easier than the restore to mj5 method. Thank you so much, Carl!

since you did the MGL odin ver 2, you need to just odin install the NC2 firmware to replace MGL's apnhlos
NC2_Bootloader_N900AUCECMLG_VER_3 already had the correct NC2 firmware except the recovery, OTA will patch the recovery
also next time You have trouble with busybox uninstalling, just reboot the phone it will finish, when you try againg it shows it not installed, busybox app bug

My device was still on mj5. I used Odin and MLG ap and bl to run kk. I was able to revert to jb at anytime with a quick Odin flash. I now have used Carl's guide and upgraded to full NC2. I can no longer return to jb but the system seems to run better now and battery life is much better!

UPDATE!!!!!!​
Video Guide for Installing and Using Safestrap by Face_Plant
Installing Safestrap v3.72 by Face_Plant:good:
1. Download and install Busybox from the Play Store.
2. Download and install Safestrap v3.72
3. Open Safestrap and click on "install recovery"
4. Reboot and you should see a screen with a robot thing on it. Press the button on the lower left of the screen to boot into Safestrap
5. Make a backup of your stock ROM
6. Go to wipe and do a factory reset
7. Go to install and select the ROM you wish to install
8. Reboot after it's done installing
Tips:
1. I recommend saving all backups to your external SD card in case you accidentally wipe your internal storage
2. NEVER USE THE FORMAT DATA FEATURE!!! This will completely wipeout the stock slot on your phone and brick it. You will not be able to boot into Safestrap to recover (ask me how I know....)
You can use the ROM slots, but the reboot menu will not work. You have to pull the battery to shut it down. You will also get notifications that you're running out of storage. I looked at the storage info in settings after getting this notification and it said ~25 gigs were required to run the ROM as opposed to the 6GB or so that's normally required.

First Copy sec_csc.zip to your external SD-Card ( you have to get one if you do not have one)
Then install with ODIN the 4 files from NC2_Bootloader_Odin3_Install_N900AUCECMGL.zip
Make Sure Your ODIN Looks Like the Picture here
After Odin reboots your phone, Immediately Hold Down POWER + MENU + VOLUME UP BUTTON and get into recovery and install sec_csc.zip
You Cannot Use this Copy of MGL KitKat to down-grade to 4.3
Once You Updated to NC2 KitKat Your stuck cannot go back, your are burn to fuse 3
The Only thing changed in the BL_N900AUCECMGL.tar
is the [aboot] file
from the OTA NC2 Update. So this is not a FULL NC2 Firmware
I used sgs2toext4 (created by drphrozen ) to convert cache.img.ext4 to cache.img.ext4.img
then used ext2explore to unpack cache.img.ext4.img
UnPacked You find the sec_csc.zip and command files in it.
command file did this with original Install :
--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_factory
--wipe_data
unzipping sec_csc.zip we find security files and AT&T setup

Not This copy, once you update to OTA kitkat you cannot go back
Nice. Hopefully this will help out people who accidently only updated to NC2 bootloader. By the way, once the full NC2 is released you should flash that so that you can get future OTAs

yes, been watching for it :fingers-crossed:
It works on a bricked Note 3 AT&T after stock KitKat upgrade
Nothing else worked for me - dozens of "unbrick Note 3 AT&T" threads had the same outdated info and files, which the new bootloader of AT&T KitKat would not take. The phone was simply stuck in boot loop - neither system nor recovery would not boot. The only thing I could do was enter the Odin download mode with Volume down + Home + Power keys. Carl helped me with this file, flashed with Odin as described at the start of this thread and my phone started working at once. The system was upgraded to the leaked KitKat Android 4.4.2. My data was not lost nor the phone was reset, even after I flashed sec_csc.zip under recovery (I used adb sideload method, but it's not relevant, flashing from SD card or phone memory would probably work the same).
Thank you again, Carl, for your patience, preparing and uploading this huge file for us!!! You are really a very smart person to figure all of this out and get us out of a tight corner!

I'll be rather watching for a root method for my phone, and when this is back, will see if I can get CyanogenMod working on my Note 3, or something similar (maybe OmniROM will start supporting it too?) Don't want anything from AT&T anymore, if I can avoid it! In the future probably won't buy another Samsung device.
Greg
This guide and method is really helpful when one accidentally installed NC2 bootloader before installing NC2 system.
Thank you! You are the man!

what rom was installed last? was it the official KK rom
if so try reinstalling the 2400258.zip from recovery, or sideloading with adb from stock recovery.
if all fails then you may be stuck with this MGL rom in this thread

tbh, it is late and I last tried this rom and it failed. how do I go about reinstalling 2400258.zip from recovery? the phone only boots up into "firmware upgrade encountered."

I'm uploaded AP_N900AUCECMGL_N900TUVUCNB4_NC2_BOOT.IMG_MGL_RECOVERY.tar.zip
try installing it with Odin, then see if you can boot into recovery and reinstall the OTA update, it will only work if your original OTA is still there and it can see in build prop
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/hlteuc/hlteatt:4.3/JSS15J/N900AUCUBNB4:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/hlteuc/hlteatt:4.4.2/KOT49H/N900AUCUCNC2:user/release-keys" ||
if it complains then you have to get this rom in this thread installed with odin
I was rooted, running NC2 ROM, made a newb mistake and had to use this so I'm on stock unrooted MLG. I never did the OTA to NC2 but I do have A3 status. Can I downgrade to regain root or no?

No if your download mode shows a A3 then your stuck. what NC2 rom where you running with root? Some DEV's have used the build.prop from a NC2 OTA update so your phone showed it was NC2.
This threads OP warned that it contains the new bootloader (A3), so installing it would have installed the new bootloader.

Can Samsung via best buy maybe flash it up to NC2 since nothing else is working. Being stuck might as well be current

I have Soft-Bricked my s5, and tried almost everything. what to do?

Hello there xdadevelopers!
Today I made the brilliant descision to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 ( SM-G900F ) with a tool called KINGO ROOT.
Aware of the fact that there is a risk while rooting your phone, I procceed forward and now im left with a useless, expensive piece of electronic..
The tool i used said root was successfully installed, but my phone got stuck on the "samsung loading screen". after 40 minutes i decided to remove the battery and try again, same thing happend. I tried to use the "remove cahce/factory" setting ( or what ever its called) and that did not help. I have also tried to install the standard firmware through ODIN, but that failed over and over again at "img.ext4"..
I've also looked through this forum to find a solution, but nothing matches my problem it seems.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. :crying: I really hope someone could help me out with this problem, im sure there is others that would benefit from the same help aswell
Really should have done some research here on XDA first, but let's try and get you back up and running
You downloaded the stock ROM from sammobile .com for the G900F ?
Download and extract this PIT file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2721101&d=1399024091
Put the phone in Download Mode from a powered off state: (Volume Down & Home & Power) release when text appears, and hit Volume Up to enter download mode
Make sure samsung drivers are installed
Connect phone to PC > USB
Ensure ODIN 3.10.7 says connected and shows the COM port at the top
Add the PIT file to the PIT section
Add the ROM (Extracted to .MD5) to the AP or PDA section
Hit Start
--
All being well, it should begin the flashing process, and complete successfully, rebooting the phone back into Android
--
To root - extract and flash CF Auto Root for the G900F with ODIN in download mode again (Some G900Fs need a different method, but try this first)

Hello and thanks for answering that quickly!
I have now downloaded the stock rom from sammobile, along with the PIT file and ODIN 3.10.7 which you directed me to.
However I did not manage to get the flashing completed.
I added the .md5 file to the AP section in ODIN, and the PIT file was added to the PIT section. I left the options untouched ( Auto reboot ticked, re-partition ticked and F. reset time ticked aswell. everything else was unticked )
It did start the flashing and it kept going for a couple of minutes, but at the very end it failed at 99% completion this is the log:

I have no idea what this log means, but Im sure you do.
What did i do wrong? I tried it several times and i ended up with the same result..
I also had this problem but got out of it By downloading an earlier firmware for my phone. This is a tips guide I donei after I soft bricked due to me leaving the activation lock on! http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/read-flashing-rom-t3145703 hope this helps?
Along with the above ^^, when you put your phone in download mode, does is also say the model is the G900F ?
Some S5s have conflicting info about exactly which model they are, the section you need to trust, is download mode, double check it says G900F in download mode

I have now tried a 4 different firmwares, some older than the other to see if it would flash correctly.
I tried to flash only the firmware, then i tried firmware+ the PIT file you suggested in your first answer.
I also tried the PIT file all by itself, this worked , after that i tried the firmware, but that did not work..
I keep getting the same " FAIL!" over and over again when I try to flash the firmware.
At the end of the log it says " <ID:0/004> FAIL! (Size) " no matter what firmware i try to flash.
Any Ideas ?

Ive tried this several times now. but the end result is always the same : FAIL! (size)
Maybe I have done this so many times that my phone simply dont have enough space to successfully do a flash ?
Is it any way to wipe the phone clear maybe ?

You could try flashing a specific version of TWRP Recovery with ODIN, version TWRP 2.8.7.0
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar
Flash from AP / PDA again, without extracting this time
If that flashes, try booting into recovery, Volume Up & Home & Power
If that is successful, try flashing a custom ROM from TWRP

TWRP 2.8.7.0 did flash without a problem. and now I did manage to boot into recovery - and now i have alot of options from Twam Win Recovery Project , and i guess im going in the right direction here hehe.
However I have no idea how to flash a custom ROM from TWRP. Do you mind walking me through the steps ?
you need to sideload a rom to your device or push it to sdcard

Great, OK well this is a popular ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
Instructions on how to install are on the main post
Basically copy the ROM to the MicroSD Card, and flash it using TWRP, but follow the instructions on this thread
Format / wipe everything apart from external SD from TWRP wipe menu
Go to the Install menu, and flash that ROM
Flash Gapps (Google apps) not sure if included, but not needed for flashing the ROM initially
Reboot, hopefully into the new ROM

If you don't have an adapter, you`ll have to buy one, they're cheap as chips - or find another device that works, you can use to copy the ROM to it with
You could try mounting the external SD (MicroSD) in TWRP, and plugging the phone into the PC and see if it is recognised, but I haven't tried that

YOU are my hero, my saviour, my new idol. it actually worked!

Pleased its working
No, that is not original firmware, it comes with benefits such as customisation, overclocking if the kernel allows, better speed, debloated (No crapware), more free storage, probably can install Xposed Framework for loads of tweaks and hacks and mods
Basically just about anything you want to change about your phone, you should be able to with a custom ROM, or at least request that change to the dev in that ROMs thread
But now that you have TWRP installed, you can pick and choose any custom ROM you want to try by using the same method you used to get this one installed
World is your oyster now

Ive now used it for a couple of days. and its just amazing! However I have encountered some problems with apps not working correctly. Snapchat wont load stories, and I cant watch any snapchat movies - but normal images works great when sending to my friends, which is weird. I get this errer " could not connect to server, please try again later". have tried to reinstall, clear cache etc but it seems it wont work. Ill read through the Xtrestolite thread and see if i find a solution now as Im a little more familiar with the forum
If I decide to install another ROM, is it any way that i can backup my whole phone ? so if i mess up again I can just reflash the one thats backed up, and all my apps and stuff will be just like it was ?
Yea sure, just boot back into TWRP, goto the 'Backup' section, and create a full Nandroid backup, tick all the boxes other than the caches
Make sure you have enough room on your external MicroSD (Select that as the backup location)
Once that is done, you can wipe, flash etc etc, play about with any ROM you like, and if and when you want to go back to your backup, just wipe the old one, and restore the backup from TWRP again, and your phone should be exactly the way it was when you backed it up once it finishes first boot
Very powerful recovery is TWRP

Thanks alot again!
Im experiencing some problems with some apps while using the Xtrestolite.
- Snapchat, wont load Stories at all, and wont open private video snaps, but normal pictures sent to my friends works. ( states that there was a problem connecting to the server, but when i use my Samsung S3 it works just fine )
- Dropbox - unable to preview any pictures and videoes
- larger apps/games that requires extra download ( like 3-500 MB ) wont open/load/download at all.
To me it seems that there is a problem with the phone writing temp files, such as snapschats, dropbox preview pictures.
Do you see any pattern here, maybe even some suggestions?

Did you do a FULL WIPE? Sounds like something went wrong, try SuperWipe, but make sure you have the Rom.zip on your external SD Card & not on you phone memory or you will not have nothing to flash & you will have to start mucking about. Hope this helps
