I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 through AT&T (which I'm beginning to think was a huge mistake). The phone recently was supposed to receive and update through AT&T update service. The update is about 730 MB and takes about an hour to download, however upon restarting and the update getting to 25% completion it fails and reboots. This wouldn't be a huge issue but my Gallery app has since complete stopped working and the phone is generally acting screwy since the failure.
The first few times this happened i eventually gave up and looked into installing CyanogenMod onto this worthless brick but I can't seem to find any way to get ClockworkMod Recovery onto it.
As of right now I'm sitting here with an $800 POS that I'm stuck with for about another year and 8 months so any help either getting through the update or moving to CyanogenMod would be amazing.
Yeah you cannot install that on your phone, even on MF3.

So does that mean I'm just stuck? Is there any custom ROM I can replace this with or any way to force the update through?

Have you tried Odin MF3 from the md5 thread in general section. If not give it a go and if it flashes you back to MF3 then re root and install Supersu pro to use survival mode and take the update again.

i had the exact same problem. i ended up backing my phone up with titanium, flashing mf3 with odin and then rooting and restoring. then it took the update.
I tried flashing back to stock with Odin and just keeping getting a FAIL! Auth message on my phone and in the desktop application

@uchua Did u try follow my thread for MK2 tar .....u can upgrade to MK2 from MF3 easily or unbricked your MK2. For guide on how to check on POST#2 with image guide....GOODLUCK....let me know how it go.....:good::good:
EDIT: Or u can try this MF3 tar. But remember MF3 and MK2 CAN'T install CWM or TWRP RECOVERY.....u ended up BRICKED.....U CAN ONLY INSTALL SAFESTRAP RECOVERY
Actually it ended up being that the .tar.md5 file I was using was invalid. Upon finding the right ones I managed to reflash the original image and update to MK2. So I guess now my issue is resolved.
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:
Hey......first of all search before you post but I can help you I have the recovery files on my computer I have to upload them later today at like 1 or 2 central standard time because I'm in highschool so I can help but I don't remember where I got the files but I'll upload them to google drive when I get home....I'm sorry this happened to you...you can friend me so we can stay in contact...I try to help with problems that I know how to solve.....help me understand what you phone is doing.....can you go into download mode? I would like to help you but I need a bit more information.

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.

Ok so I have a mje stock note 3 that is stuck in a loop. I tried kies to stock odin w firmware and pit and still nothing. The phone boot sometimes but shoes only the top bar with the drop down menu and a blank home screen, shortly after it displays an error about something unable to work and reboots again and the loop begins until it deckdes to half ass boot again.
Has anyone encountered such a problem? It happened after I noticed misbehaving of some stock apps that kept crashing and I resorted to stock restore the phone with kies.
Thanks for any and all help.
The knox hasnt been tripped and its sjpposed to be intirely stock.

so u have tried to download your MJE firmware from samfirmware and flash via ODIN I believe.
Have you tried to go into stock recovery after finish flash from ODIN and to wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition ?
I have no idea about verizon N900, but I guess it should be the same. You may not follow my suggestion if you are unsure about this, as I have no idea about this device. Just give an option of suggestion you may try, because on N9005, this wipe / reset sometimes is quite useful to solve bootloop on stock firmware.
Nope stock recovery no root.

I have not tried samfirmwares as they take too long to download, but I will take your advice and post results.

okie.
I just tried your advice Sonic. I flashed N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_N900VVRUBMJE_HOME.tar.md5 from samfirmwares and I used odin 3.09 and still no success.
It now doesn't lag at the verizon logo its a little smoother but it still stays there and then it reboots and the loop continues.
Any other suggestions guys?
Is it safe to repartition with the pit file being flashed as well or will the phone be worse off afterwards?

Did u do factory reset / full wipe?
If u have the correct pit for ur model nd firmware, shld be fine.
Sent from N7105, DN3 with AGNi kernel.
I did a full wipe/ clear cache and then full firmware flash from sammobile then one with pit but still no success.
What did work was using a uart box and the phone in DM to reset the efs and then rewrite the fullflash from sammobile. Now the phone works perfect just has an invalid imei 00/0 but it still works. I am going to extract a QCN from another 900V and edit it with my phone's info tomorrow and write it to see if that fixes the no IMEI and No serial number issue. I will post results afterwards.
Thank you guys for the input.
OK solved with a donor QCN now all is good on this note.
Thanks to all for the assistance.
ok, so I am not a noob on rooting and such, but this one has me stumped. Have the i337 on mdl baseband. Wanted to return it to stock. I tried to Odin (v3.09) the factory tar from the samsung site, i got a failure, then it went to recovery mode saying to connect kies. I have tried kies 2.6 and 3.0, neither recognize the device. I have tried redownloading samsung firmware thinking it was corrupted and mk2 firmwares in odin, neither worked, they go immediately to fail when i try to execute Odin. I can get into download mode or the kies recovery mode, not sure what to do since it will not take odin. Any ideas?

1. Kies and Recovery mode aren't same thing. Kies never will recognize your device being in Stock Recovery Mode. Don't mix things.
2. Find the error now is difficult coz maybe you update your bootloader with the MK2 firmware (that's android 4.3 no android 4.2.2).
3. Get me the errors or one screenshot that appears in ODIN when you try to flash the MK2 firmware pls.
I'll see what I can do, it happens so fast I don't think anything updates, and it shows me no errors, just fail

Maybe Kies was in your task bar when you tried to flash through ODIN?
Not the first but maybe the last ones, what does that do?

1. Try other version of ODIN. I recommend you the latest one -> HERE
2. And pls.... MK2 isn't firmware for your device, it's for i337M. Don't mix things. Flash MDL again if you had that baseband and show me what errors you will have in ODIN. Good luck
Still failed. Let me know what you see. thanks
Bump, anyone see what I is wrong?

Pit file
I see youre trying to flash the mk2 file but you dont have the pit file for the repartition head over here and download the mk2 pit file and then rerun it I also see that you have auto reboot checked, uncheck the auto reboot and then once iit finishes flashing and say reset unpluget you're device and pull the battery then put it back in and go into stock recovery by holding volume up power and home all at the same time and wipe data factory reset and cache partition http://d-h.st/5gz
Thanks, but that did not work either. I have never had a problem I couldn't odin out of, but I have tried everything I can think of and still nothing will work. I just want to sell the phone so I even tried the nb1 which should install no matter what bootloader I am on, and still nothing.
Hi, I am currently stuck where i was trying to download from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 to unlock my phone. Currently Odin is not even downloading my phone 4.2.2 and i am stuck. I don't know what else i can try. Can somebody guide me through even if it starts from having a stock rom. I have went through many threads and spent hours searching. But have been unsuccessful.

If the sgh i337m is anything like the sgh-i337, then you can only downgrade to certain firmwares.
Why don't you try flashing a 4.2.2 modem in a custom recovery or Odin and using region regionlockaway. I'm not that familiar with the i337m but that works on the i337

Can you boot into recovery? Do a factory reset there
Edit, also it can take a long time to boot after using Odin so make sure you give it enough time, 10 minutes
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
to which firmwares, do u know?
I know how to do into downloading mode press all 3 buttons then vol up. But how do i go into recovery?
I gave it 15 minutes to boot last time. i'll give it 30 minutes this time.
i can make a cup of tea on my phone, it's that hot right now.
Can i get some support from somebody on how to unbrick my phone? Or how do i go into recovery mode to reinstall the firmware like one person mentioned here???

Can you get into download mode?. If so Odin the 4.4.2 firmware. You can get that at sammobile.com for your device.

While that gets downloaded, in the meantime, i am in recovery mode now, and i have the following options :
reboot system
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache.
Did i miss any of these steps when i tried to downgrade the firmware to 4.2.2, is this where i messed up and bricked my phone?
