I downloaded a 2.9 rom for att only
1. I wipe factory reset coming from different rom
2. I install liquid smooth
3. I install loki
4. hit reboot
5. it ask for fix for root, i slide it to fix.
6. bam! screen went black!
If all of this cant be fixed, I have to take it back to att for replacement and act dumb. I have last day to return today. 14 policy is about to expire 11:59. I had it since July 15.
If you can't even get any power and can't get into down load mode then you probably are not going to get it fixed. Have you tried odin and seen if it will recognize the device?

Odin do not detect my phone. It SOL! I went to att today. They told me it was SOL too because this device won't boot into recovery or download. Nothing was turning on. So it was replaced by warranty. I told them I rooted it (not playing dumb here at this time) and they replaced it.
Does rooting void warranty right? I don't get it? But I remember on another forums said rooting does not void warranty? Unless they see custom device and unlocked boot loader void warranty?
Can someone explain clearly?

In almost any situation, operating a device in a way other than the manufacturer intended will void the warranty. In the case of AT&T's warranty, they may have explicit clauses against jailbreaking, rooting, and firmware modification in general. In the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, they might even allow for root, but I'm not sure on this. I once saw someone (reputable dev) post that rooting by itself is not an automatic void. They have to prove that what you did broke your device (which it sounds like what you did probably borked it).
If someone has a rooted device, and suddenly the battery explodes or the LED light stops working (on an otherwise stock rom), then it's kinda hard for them to point at "you rooted it" as being the problem.
But yeah, best to look up the verbage in the warranty, to be sure.
What ROM was on there before you flashed liquid?
And what recovery?
I ask because when flashing AT&T liquid on TWRP at least, you don't flash loki and you also don't get prompted to install root. Not even after a full wipe of EVERYTHING.

What is bricking phones is people trying to flash custom recoveries on MF3. You can NOT do it, but people keep doing it.. despite the 10000 warnings on here.
OP. This is a development forum. Yes we know what that is, we know how to use it. I suggest you read the sticky threads in all sections if you are interested in anything with your phone. If not, do not attempt to do anything at all. You will more than likely end up with a really expensive paperweight.
Btw, that is the warning screen before you get to Odin mode. Odin is a flashing tool for Samsung devices used on a computer.

Pushing up is how it goes to odin mode. Which at this time IF your on MF3 OTA firmware would be useless since there is no custom recovery anyways. So the ONLY thing for those on MF3 OTA firmware is if they were going into odin mode to flash the MF3 firmware again (for examole at the Samsung Experience inside BestBuys.
For those that have MDL or MDB firmwares then that is what you DO USE to get into odin mode (so that the odin application can be used to communicate and flash the phone to custom firmwares).
So LONG STORY SHORT Yes we have all pushed up and have seen it and installed custom firmwares (For those that have rooted and installed custom firmwares that is).
Also if you did push up the ohone goes into odin mode. It will not brick your phone. You can just hold the power button until it fully powers off and then restart the phone and your back to normal as nothibg wiuld be changed,flashed, or anything.

If I am correct it's because Odin doesn't recognize MF3. So my question is, why can't we fool odin to believe this is a i9505 or some other variant to initiate the odin reflash?

I am sure people are hard at work figuring out methods of downgrading and creating MF3 unlocking/recoverys. However the firmwire update (as said above) is coded to disallow a majority of this and usually ends up bricking the device, as the bootloader becomes rigged in MF3. Until Samsung's releases official MF3 support for odin/kies, development will probably be slow. You'll have to stick to safestraping for now.

The custom sign is there because you've rooted it. I'm assuming you're MF3 so no you cannot downgrade to the previous firmwire as of now.

This has already been discussed in detail, but because people won't read I'll say it again. The "SMART" program is a proprietary program that Samsung uses to complete an entire suite of tasks. One of those tasks is to re-flash the latest and current firmware to many Samsung phones. Each Samsung employee is assigned a unique password that is needed to access Samsung's servers for the needed firmwares. Each copy of the SMART program will only work on ONE PC once it is installed. The program is no good without server access and the firmware package it installs is no good without complete access to the SMART application. So you see, modifying the SMART application will do no good and accessing Samsung's servers without a functional SMART application will also do no good. Not to mention it is completely illegal to modify a proprietary program or access Samsung's servers without consent. If you did get a hold of the program and was able to install it on your PC, AND, you had access to a working password, it would still only work from that PC for a short period of time until Samsung disabled it.

If you had searched (and done a minimum amount of reading) you would have found that this subject has already been covered. Your laziness does not make me a ****. Start following the XDA rules and guidelines before you call others names. When you made this thread, a list of "similar topics" was also offered to you. You clearly ignored those as well. The others poster's comments about the "SMART" program were already covered also. I was still nice enough to take my time and repeat that information again.
You are not above the XDA rules and are expected to follow them the same as everyone else. I agreed to this when I made a user account, as did you. If having this pointed out to you pisses you off, you might want to find a place with different rules and expectations where people that follow the rules are considered "dicks". I would suggest "Facebook" or "Twitter".

Trying to load a custom recovery on a locked bootloader could mess up your phone. Safestrap was made for our phones. Read up a bit you'll see we can't do normal custom recoveries and we can't flash normal roms cause we're locked. Only thing we can do is root and safe strap. I'll suggest odin nb1 update to nc1 root. The reason I say odin to nb1 is because right now you don't have a recovery at all due to you trying to install cwm or twrp.

Do you have an AT&T S4? If so then no. It will not load if you try. Until someone figures how to crack the locked bootloader, we are stuck with ROMs that use stock Samsung (you'll also hear them referred to as TouchWiz or TW) kernels. I believe CM uses their own custom one.
I am able to use the Google Edition one because a user modified it to work on aTouchWiz kernel, and even then things like USB file transfer does not work.

Odining back to NB1 will not trip Knox. Also, I believe downgrading to 4.2 will not touch your bootloader, if it were that easy we'd all be rocking CM.
You could run this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767026
Its technically not a TW ROM, but it has its quirks. It was never intended to work on locked bootloader phones, but it has been retrofitted on to them.
Wrote this if you would like a guide on how I got 4.4.4 version up and running, it's kind of tricky.

Nb1 and nc1 are the same. Nb1 is just a small update over nb1, there isn't even a tar file for nc1 because it's such a small update. You won't be able to odin back to anything prior to nb1 unfortunately without bricking. Now I do understand the hatred of touchwiz but once you're rooted you're able to delete a lot of the garbage bloatware put on by Samsung and AT&T. This makes the phone so much better along with super long battery life. I've been able to get 4.5 hours of on screen time and about 16 - 17 hours of off the plug time like this.
When deleting bloat you can easily Google and find lists of what people have deleted off their phones using titanium backup (amazing app, let's your freeze or delete what you don't want). Also one thing I found out which is dumb. Deleting Samsung hub breaks auto rotation (what one has to do with the other I'll never know) but you can download the file needed to fix that here

Ps: No one answered my question. If I don't care for tripping the bootloader being that I'm on no contract. Is their a way to trip the flash counter and get on a recovery? I don't care for Samsung security knox or their bootloader security.

Nope. Bootloader and knox are completely different. Knox will just give annoying messages once tripped. Bootloader without unlock we're pretty much dead in the water. There has been some talk about ways to possibly unlock the bootloader so it's definitely being worked on. I've also read that the black hat even (hackers convention) might have something promising. Also anything that is done on the s5 could very well apply to the s4. It's all just a matter of time

Sounds great that the s5 and s4 integrate . Also there's a bunch of stuff online which shows how to disable certain aspects of the bootloader using linux (Ubuntu) . Do you think that'll work. It's a huge risk.

If it hasn't been done to give us anything I wouldn't do it. Only thing we have right now is safestrap. Which is similar to a dual boot

Similar to dual boot but can't load any rom you want on it

I have the att note 3 that was 4.4.2 and I am ready to sell it but my phone was rooted and I uninstalled some of the stock programs that came with it. I tried to flash what I thought was a stock rom through Odin but it failed and now I just see firmware encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies. When I go to kies it just tells me that I cannot recover the device. If anyone can help me that would be awesome and thanks in advance.

Root it and flash it again with odin
The phone doesn't even boy anymore and I'm pretty sure that you don't need to be rooted in order to flash with Odin. Also I don't want to just try and root and hope it works because as of now Knox is not tripped

You root one time and your Knox is modified even if you flash stock after...
Start again in dl mode and flash again but check md5 before
The method I used did not trip Knox see the picture. And I have used Odin before a lot of times before I have tried to reflash many times if you Google it you will see that a lot of people are having this issue but nothing has worked for me so far figured I'd ask here. It is also very hard to even find the att stock rom
