I am root on MF3 and I can not turn on WiFi
That's nice. A little more info would be helpful. Are you on a custom room or stock. Did it just start doing this.

That's your problem. You can't flash kernels on mf3. You'll probably have to odin the mf3 tar files.
Ok thank you I just restored. Is there any way to update from MF3?

First, what firmware are you on? Mf3, mdl, ext?

Ok, so you're probably on mdl and can use Odin. Others have used odin on a Windows vm on a Mac. There's threads that discuss this. If I can find one I'll link you buy try searching. You'll want to flash the stock firmware in Odin, PDA.
Edit, fyi it'll return you to stock and you'll lose all your apps and have to start with a like New phone.

Holy cow this is wayyyyy to confusing for me! Is there a tutorial using the frontend of the application?
Hi All,
I tried installing CMW on my AT&T galaxy S4 and now the the device is stuck on boot showing 'recovery booting...'
I have tried holding down vol up + power + home key but issue still persists.
I followed the steps in this link: galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-install-cwm-recovery-on-att-or-verizon-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sch-i545/
Attached is a screenshot to further clarify: sdrv.ms/16drSEy
Only way to turn off device is to disconnect the battery.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
It's too late now but don't go to galaxys4root. Use xda. Do you know what firmware you were on? Was it mf3, etc?
If you were on MF3, you hosed it.

Definitely will not go to galaxys4root again. I do not think I was on MF3 but I am not sure.
The firmware was the same as when I first bought it on release date. Not sure if that helps.
Can I unbrick it with odin?
Unless you froze or deleted the files for OTA, it is impossible for you to still be on the same firmware from release. MF3 auto updates after 3 days of it being downloaded.

If you're not on mf3, yes. Do know if it ever updated itself after you got it.

I am not sure to be honest. I never activated the phone with at&t as I was wanting to install Cyanogen before activating it.
I have downloaded apps to it so it was connected via wifi.
By default would it auto update to mf3 via wifi and not connected to at&t yet?

Probably not. At this point out probably won't hurt to try to flash the mdl firmware with odin
Edit here is a link. You can get the mdl firmware at sammobile.com. the link has mdb firmware. I'd recommend downloading mdl and using it with the guide in the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40976805

Awesome. I will give this a try tomorrow morning as it is getting late on my end. I will update this post tomorrow with the results.
Thanks for your quick reply. Much appreciated.
As long as you never connected to AT&T cellular network, you are good to flash and attempt to fix it.

UPDATE: These steps worked and my phone is now operational again! Guess I do not have MF3 firmware.
Question, is how do I get cyanogenmod installed at this point? I followed this guide on cyanogenmod site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflteatt
but got into trouble while trying to install ClockWorkMod.
Should I use the steps on cyanogenmod and request assistance for CWM OR is there a better method?
BTW, just want to say thanks to jd1639 and graydiggy. You guys know your stuff!
Thank you......

Nice. I'll give this a go. Thanks
Alright, so I've been doing rooting things for a long time...and never have I had this many problems. I posted something here earlier about rooting my S4, installing ROMs and having it hang on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Screen. So I figured I would try booting with Odin and re-installing a stock image. No luck. I keep getting this show up on my Galaxy S4 when I click start -- "secure check failed" and Odin shows a fail.
I don't even know where to go from here because I'm looking at an expensive paperweight at this point. Has anyone ever seen this before or even know where I can start. Any help would really be appreciated...at this point I just feel defeated.

I always get firmware from sammobile.com. Download the firmware ending in mdl. It'll be a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it and use that in Odin.

I'll download the firmware there and see if that solves my issue. Is there any way this could be related to the kernel? If I restore this firmware I will lose my root, correct?

You will lose root. Odin should put everything back on like it was new. You do have to register on sammobile to download the firmware, but it's free.
