Did you check the MD5 before flashing? Are you absolutely sure the ROM your flashing is compatible with your device? Were you on the latest MF3 firmware before you started flashing?

it appears you have flashed an ATT rom for the i337 and not a Rom for the i337m -- you now have several options to restore your phone
1. flash the Loki'd fix to allow the kernel and rom you flashed to boot your phone or
2. flash a cutom kernel that does work with your phone such a Ktoonz kernel (read the install instructions, for your i337m you need the TMO version of his kernel) or
3 download the stock firmware package for your phone, I'd recommend MG1 either from a link on xda or from samMobile or Samsung updates and install using Odin -- this will completely reset you phone and then you can worry about root and custom recovery after
If you do decide to install fresh factory stock MG1 I can recommend using CF-root to root the i337m and then installing Philz Recovery rather than regular CWM as it installs more easily and plays nicer on the i337m in my experience.
Remember each phone is different but do not attempt to install ATT designed roms on your i337m unless you have the loki patch also on your SD card ready to flash also.
There are many great roms available that do fir the i337m and are specifically set up for our phone.
But first, let's get you out of the download loop. EIther of the 3 options above will do. Personally, I would recommend the Odin install of the stock MG1 firmware and start over with a factory reset and a clean phone.

okay got it back to stock, now quick question for the philz do i flash the .tar with odin? or do something else with the .zip?
Its not the ROM that's incomparable its the kernal your using. Find one for a i337m then flash it immediately after you flash your ROM and see if it works.

so just to go over the steps to make sure i dont mess this up,
so i flashed to the origonal versoin with odin
that worked
then i rooted it using CF root
now i got 2 files from philz and i'm not 100% sure what to do with them, i got a .tar what i assume i flash with odin and a .zip i'm not to sure what i do with they are both named philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltecan.tar.md5 and philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltecri.zip
then once i get into recovery i know how to flash roms, its just this whole kernal thing thats got me confused.

READ THIS FIRST:
MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MF3 FIRMWARE ON YOUR S4. THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO RIGHT NOW. IF YOU DO, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY.
You don't have a custom recovery already that's why. Did casual not install TWRP for you? If not try installing Goo Manager from the app market and try installing TWRP that way. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU INSTALL IT, IT SAYS YOUR MODEL NUMBER EXACTLY! I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! When you have TWRP installed, then flash philz with TWRP and you'll have that custom recovery instead.

do not use the zip you quoted it is not for your phone
use odin flash the tar philz_touch_5.15.0-jfltecan.tar.md5
now you have stock updated MG1 firmware with the latest baseband
root by CF root
Philz Recovery
Now follow the next steps:
1. set up your google account play store etc.
2.next, go into the recovery and do a full nandroid backup -- this gives you a stable base you can restore when needed
3. go flash a custom rom, I highly recommend the latest version of Goldeneye -- updated, well maintained, great developer, clear install instructions
4. try itt then again, use recovery to make a 2nd nandroid, this one of your custom rom install -- try different kernels, every phone is different and someone's favorite kernel just may not like your phone -- doesn't make it a bad kernel just makes it the wrong one for your phone, flash a different one
5. theme if you want -- this is where your recoveries become important as themes are notorious for not always sitting well and all is ok if you have a backup you can return to
6. NEVER flash a baseband from another variant -- stick with your MG1 from your carrier until your carrier updates stock firmware
so i bought a used att already rooted and had recovery.
dont know what kind of recovery and i flashed TWRP through goomanager.
installed went great rebooted, now its stuck on start screen with RECOVERY BOOTING.
any help?
i can still go into download mode
should i just start new and reflash with odin? can someone point me to the right direction please.

Need more info to be able to help you, like what firmware are you on? mf3 or mk2? Once you figure that out the just Odin back to stock with the tar files posted here on XDA. Boot loaders are locked on both mf3 & mk2 so no CWM, no TWRP. Safestrap is the only recovery that works. I suggest Odin back to stock & start fresh.
i really dont know what firmware i am on...
which files should i flash??

Lol depends what firmware your on.
If you were on mf3 or mk2 with locked boot loader than that's why your stuck.
download amdl and mk2.. Bc the bootloader isn't all locked up its worth a try. If amdl fails in Odin then try mk2 and you should be good. But your boot loader will be locked tighter than a nun from a convent.
You really should have read around or asked questions before trying anything. Could have been avoided

Okay that is the leaked version of Kit Kat 4.4.2. So you need to Odin back to stock with the above tar files for mk2. You can then use this guide & either root, install Safestrap recovery & then a custom rom of your choice listed in the guide or you can take the official OTA 4.4.2 Kit Kat update. Good luck.

Hello everyone. I was trying to get Cyanogenmod 11 on my Galaxy S4. I read a guide and followed it to a T, but I guess it must have been a bad guide, and I can't find it now.
At any rate, I have 4.2.2 with NC1, and I used Geohot's TR to get root. I installed SU, and that's working. Then (because I used to use this on my GS3) I installed Rom Toolbox pro, chose to install CWM, and I kept getting errors. So I decided to use another, ROM installer, and flash TWRP.
So now, when I reboot my phone, I just get errors that say "Odin error".
What do I need to do in order to get a custom ROM? I've read in these forums that safestrap is the only way, but I don't want to do this until I know that I can move from what I'm currently at, to safestrap. I don't want to dig my hole any deeper.
Thank you so much.

You can only use Safestrap. Boot into download mode and then exit from it (I forget which button you hold) to get back in to the system. Then install Safestrap after using SELinux Mode Changer. You'll probably also want to find the recovery image for NC1 and flash that. Check the NB1-NC1 keeproot ROM thread you can find in the index for that
If you need anything else, ask here, but next time you have a new question, start it in the q&a section please.

I have seen that everywhere. Out of desperation, is there ANY way I can get CyanogenMod on here?
Secondly, my phone is having issues and I want to restore it to factory settings. When I choose this, it reboots and I get the ODIN error. I then have to power down, then I have to hold down while restarting, then hit cancel, then it boots normally. How do I remedy this?

Give up or get another phone-- NO CM at this time--there is a GE rom in General, I believe, for SafeStrap.
Not sure on other issue, maybe Odin back to stock--someone else may have suddestion--Read up on things in General and Q&A on SafeStrap. And a couple other threads like All Things MK2 etc--:good:

Has to be TouchWiz rom. To me it is not worth the effort. I just stay stock for now.
I was hoping to get some help.
I installed SafeStrap, used SELinux, and then installed GoldenEye Rom on slot 1 after taking a backup of my current rom to my external SD card. I then installed update-supersu and att_nc1_modules through safestrap.
I reboot into system and it just boots into the exact same rom as my stock rom... but the only difference is that my networks don't work. So I've booted back into safestrap and changed my boot device back to stock and all is well.
What step am I missing?
Edit: Yes, I've made sure that Rom Slot 1 is active before booting into it.
Don't use SS so not sure what you missed--

Do you have time to explain what all of this means?

Does this mean use Odin to get back to Nb1, then use the built in samsung updater to get to nc1, then start again with TR and SS?

Use this file in Odin, it's the nb1 tar file. After you download it you'll need to extract it using winrar or 7-zip. You'll get a .tar.md5 file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149
Use that in Odin pda/pa slot depending on what version of Odin you're using.
The either just ota, over the air, update to nc1 or there is a nb1 to nc1 zip file that can be side loaded in the stock recovery.
Once on nc1 you can use tr to root.

If you restored your backup I would try to flash your rom in the stock slot of safestrap first. Only do the Odin if you can't restore first.

I will include a before start picture and then what happens when it fails..see attached. TY.
Are you on MK2 or NAE by chance? If you are you cannot go back to the MF9 bootloader and that would explain the Odin failure.

Try the non-one click with Odin v3.07 and just the .tar file.

If you are on MK2 or NAE currently, you cannot use that one click program. It is only for use with the prepackaged MF9 rom that it comes with.

Here is the NAE .tar file (The download for it is in the big blue section) you need to make an account before being able to download it tho.

Ok I have successfully flashed the rom NAE .tar you just gave to me...But what does that do for me? To domestic unlock my phone I have to revert back to MF9 touchwiz rom. And according to frostedunit I cannot flash to MF9 when I have NAE as my current baseband.
You can still flash MF9 ROM/Modem but you cant flash the MF9.tar file because it includes a non-KNOX bootloader

I know im being really nooby and annoying you with questions but the TW Rom for MF9 is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471 but which one do I download? Is it the stock MF9 Recovery?
None of those include the modem.. just ROM. Idk to much about unlocking phones but are you sure you need the mf9 rom and modem or just the modem to unlock your phone?
Honestly I'm not positive but in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610 he says that he reverted back to the MF9 touchwiz rom so Im just trying to be a robot and follow directions...I'm really just doing this for a friend and know little about the S4 community let alone this is a dumb Sprint phone. I have a OnePlus One myself.
Here is the MF9 modem https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23321874045862587

Ok I successfully flashed the modem fine. Now the Stock_MF9_Firmware_No_Boot_Recovery file you gave me how do I flash this recovery onto my phone? And where should I get the MF9 Rom from? Thanks again.

That file is the ROM but you need a custom recovery to flash it.

Ok so far I flashed the recovery, the modem, and the rom successfully does this mean I can now flash using the one click rom?
No you cant flash because you have the new bootloader but cant you go ahead and do the unlocking now?

Did you uninstall safestrap before you use flashfire?
Do you use the rooted lolli rom mentioned in the guide or the custom lolli rom. If you use custom lolli, is that rom mentioned that it is flashfire compatible?
I understand you are on NC1 bootloader so in order to OC4 working properly, OC4 bootloader need to be flashed via odin.
If you try everything and did not work, go back to NB1 and start from there. Use the NB1 firmware that I mentioned before.

So dude, when I went into download mode, everytime I tried to place that ALLAT&T file into the AP slot, it would cause Odin to freeze and not respond. Naturally, I got angry and decided to reboot into system and magically, I could use the OS again. Now I think I'm going to flash the bootloader like you said

I am sure you did extract the .md5 from the .rar. The latest odin is Version 3.10.7 but I am using version 3.10.6 for that .md5 and it went well too. Try with different odin then.

Wow, NC1 flasher is to use safestrap in lollipop. It only flash the NC1 kernel.
Are you in Kitkat or lollipop. If you were in your lollipop you need to update your lollipop bootloader.
As I said before, if your phone went to softbrick just flash the NB1 firmware via odin.
I swear, you are a legend, an absolute god. The amount of help and experience you have given me, if only I could pay you (I'm 15, so I can't make a PayPal yet) Right now I'm on Albe95's Note 5 port rom.
