I have bricked my phone by wiping data on the stock ROM with safestrap. I immediately regretted that decision. It was hung on the Galaxy S4 screen. I could get into recovery and download mode. I tried to flash the stock MF3 files using Odin, but it fails during write. Any ideas? I'm trying to find an MK2 stock image.
Thanks!
Edit: Found the TAR here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279
Get the mk2 tar files and flash with odin. You'll be good as new.

I'm stuck on the Samsung boot logo with MJA bootloader and stock recovery.. is there anything I can do to have a working phone again? Restoring back to stock MF9 in Odin doesn't work for me because of the MJA bootloader.. or at least I can't get it to work. Please help, just want a phone again! Thank you.

You can odin the latest mja tar file and just reboot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot and done.

Hi,
My S4 got bricked a while back and at that time the 4.3 leak was the only thing available to revive my phone.
I'm on 4.3 MJ6 firmware. I was wondering if there was a way to root that or update to a different version and root that instead.
Trying to get safestrap back on my phone as well, missing it from MF3 :crying:
Thanks in advance! :good:

either go with Heimdall or do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47586777&postcount=135
This will wipe data if the other method doesn't, i don't know though.
hi guys this morning i woke up and i had the 4.4 update ready to install, but i did not knew that it would not install as i am rooted,
cant find an unroot method for the 4.3, the only thing i found was Qbking77 method but it has the 4.2 tar files, would it unroot my phone with that file or would it brick my phone??
btw, i have been on this forum more than 2 hours trying to find a solution

I am running stock AT&T 4.2.2 MF3 rooted with Motochopper, I believe.
An OTA downloaded on my device today, NC1 I guess? I knew I couldn't install it because either it would fail after detecting root, or I would potentially brick.
I wanted to update to stock NB1 or NC1 (maintaining or re-establishing root afterward).
The MF3 update threads I have found seem outdated.
Please let me know what the safest way to flash the latest stock that is rootable.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Sixftsix, I am in the same boat as you. MF3 rooted wanting to upgrade to NC1. Did it successfully work for you? The files say NB1 to NC1 not MF3 to NC1 so I was just wondering if it worked. Also what version of Safestrap did you use?
Thank you very much!

I haven't upgraded yet, I'm still confused on what is the proper/safest method.
I am not sure if we have to go from MF3 > MK2 > NB1 > NC1... or if we can go directly to NB1 with this: "NB1 STOCK -- Get to NB1 Stock from NB1 or earlier... I337UCUFNB1 4.4 Stock Odin Tar & System Dump", then use the NB1 to NC1 method.
Let me know if you attempt anything and the results, I will do the same. I did lot of reading with no clear answers.
If anyone can confirm the best method, I would appreciate your help!

Apparently you need to upgrade to MK2, root, then do MK2 to NB1, and then NB1 to NC1. Its a process. I think I'll just stick with 4.2.2 until a root method is available for KitKat then I'll just upgrade to KitKat instead of flashing because I always have bad luck when it comes to soft modding...
Good luck.

If you want NB1, you can flash straight to it with the ODIN package. If you want root, you can flash to either MK2 or NB1 but going to NB1 adds in the downgrade steps.

Thank you! One question. I use Linux so I wouldn't be using ODIN I would be flashing with Heimdall. Same thing right?

Slightly different. You'll have to extract the partitions to flash from the ODIN file since it doesn't work with ODIN packages directly. Alternatively, you could try JODIN3.
I am running Negalite ROM and just recently updated my firmware to NAE using Odin, and now my signal is terrible, the data keeps cutting out. Is it possible to flash back to MJA using Odin, or can you not rollback? Or is there some update or change I can make to the APN or something to fix it? Thank you for any help you can provide.
Only modem is reversible via Odin. Anything else is NOT possible.

Thanks, does that mean I can flash the MJA or MK2 modem from post 2 in this thread and it should rollback fine? Thanks again.

The NAE modem package is not complete. If you skipped over MK2, you need to go back and flash it, then flash NAE on top of it. Otherwise, your reception will misbehave.
