My phone S4 sprint
newest cyanogenmod 11 nightlies
So heres the problem
phone started off not making or receiving calls which was weird because i still go data 4g LTE... so i read somewhere that i have to go back to stock and update my PRL or something...im not sure whats its called but i would know what to do once I'm on the stock rom... but anyway thats not the main problem anymore. my main problem is when i tried to go back to stock with mobile odin my device did go to the last step that odin need to do it , which was to boot back up in stock recovery... so now my phone doesn't not boot at all.. I'm only able to get in in download mode i really need phone i tried taking it to to the sprint they are trying to say its water damaged which i know its not
Maybe its because i was on android 4.4. and i was try to go down to stock 4.2 or what it is
If you can get into download mode, go to a PC download the tar file and Odin it through your computer.

Depends on what you were on before, mf9, mja, or mk2?
Do you have knox?,

I have no clue, all i know is that i was running cyanogenmod 11
Boot your phone into download mode, look at the lines of text in the top left corner. If you see anything that mentions knox warranty then you were on MJA or MK2 and need to download either of those tar files, If you don't see anything that mentions knox warranty then you were on MF9 or older and you can download the MF9 tar to avoid the knox bootloader. If you do need the MK2 tar, here is the best download of the tar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443

TRIED TO ODIN BACK TO MF9 FROM MJA. ODIN FAILED AND BRICKED MY PHONE. THE PHONE NOW SAYS, "FIMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES & TRY AGAIN.
IF ODIN FAILS THEN WHAT OTHER OPTIONS DO I HAVE?
I WAS ON A PURE STOCK MJA. WHEN I TRY TO DOWNGRADE SAYS I HAVE A BINARY OF 1 EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING SAYS OFFICIAL.
Why, just why?
Have you not read that at this time you cannot go back to MF9 once you accept the MJA update ?

SOLVED...I USED ODIN 3.07 "NEWEST" AND DID THE CF_AUTO ROOT THROUGH ODIN...HERE... AFTER THE DOWNLOAD HAD TO DELETE THE .MD5 EXTENTION FOR ODIN TO WORK...BACK ON 4.3...SCAREY WHEN ODIN FAILS.
THERE IS A UPSIDE TO THIS FAIL...IM ROOTED NOW
Glad you got it back up. I knew there was a way to bring it back. Just couldn't remember off the top of my head.

Thanks man
I had the same issue. I looked for talk about upgrading to mja and back to mf9, but I couldnt find anything useful. I didnt want to root from the new update mja, so I tried going back to mf9 and had the same issue you had.
I was worried.
I tried to use odin 3.07 to go back to mf9, but it wouldnt work. I instead used odin to root the f#cker and to my amazement it worked!
Now I am rooted and on 4.3!
I though I had to choose between the two.
Thanks again.
I updated my GS4 to rooted (without knox) 4.3 and now i want to flash Sacs Custom rom but i can't i've tried every recovery I could find none work for me even Philz, everyone is saying use that one and I did but when I flash it through odin nothing happens when I try to boot it to recovery the phone simply skips through and reboots( yes it does try to get into recover, the blue text) but if i keep trying it, it'll boot to stock recovery after 2-3 tries (assuming that's a fail safe?) I don't know what i'm doing wrong can anyone help?
Yes i have the drivers (Odin can do anything but get a recovery to stick)

Run Odin 'as administrator' and make sure you're flashing the right .tar - philz_touch_5.18.2-jfltespr.tar.md5

If you can get into recovery now (philz). You can certainly flash Sac's 4.3. If you want the mf9 modem that is in the dev section too. Check out Unknownforce's post
But I suspect you've taken the mja "firmware" and tripped that Knox counter, and if that's the case I dint believe you can Odin back to mf9.

Well my rom was pre rooted and wasn't supposed to have Knox I'll try it and see but is it okay to flash to 4.3 v4 from mf9?

My galaxy s4 is rooted on 4.3 MK2 for the Sprint SPH-L720, the phone will no longer boot up because i flashed a wrong file. The phone will go into stock recovery, and download mode. Any ideas on what to do to fix?
Doesn't seem like you searched. If you can get into recovery try and flash a ROM if you have one in your memory, or wipe data and see I'd that boots your phone. If none of those two work you can Odin MK2 tar and that will bring your phone back to life.

Odin should not be failing unless its a bad download, your computer doesnt detect your phone , or there is the chance the phone itself is done.

What does odin say when you try to start the flashing of MK2 tar?

Odin detects my phone and goes all the way through till system image. than fails.
So i am downloading a different mk2 file but its taking forever and hopefully that works.
You need to use the newest Odin which is 3.09 if you are on MK2, also make sure you are running Odin as administrator. With 3.09 you put the tar file in the AP slot. Also, here is where you can find a fast download of MK2 that is known as good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443
Here is a copy of Odin 3.09:

Hello.First post here.
I currently have been using CM11 for a few months now but miss some features on stock. (multiwindow, air view) so I installed Sacs ROM.
Everything was working great today except a known problem is wifi will not work due to radio opbstructions (i believe). So i attempted to change the baseband to MF9.
At first, Odin started then immidately it failed. The error read 'Fused 4 Binary 1'
So i assumed it was a connection error. I loaded back into download mode and tried again. Failed.
At this point i thought screw it, and took the battery out. tried to reboot and stuck at the soft brick "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I installed Kies. Plugged in my phone. Drivers installed but Kies will not connect. Try to do 'Firmware Upgrade and Initialization'
However Kies will NOT accpet my S/N number. i tried everything. writing it all out or with a space every 3 numbers or with 'DEC' at the front. nothing worked.
I even called sprint to double check S/N (ESN/DEC)
so basically I'm soft bricked and Kies is screwing me over. Any ideas?
Have you tried to odin back to stock?

Yes but it takes all but about 30 seconds to root again
You could go straight to sacs after rooting.

If you flash a full stock tar you won't have to flash radio.
Do a search please for the tar.

i searched around and eventually found a working .md5 file. its apparently is stock. got my phone to start booting but it got stuck at the yellow sprint screen. im going to try to boot into safe mode. any ideas how to access my recovery file? i have one form CWM and one from Ti Backup
which tar did you flash through Odin? MF9, MK2 or NAE?
IF you were on MF9 and flashed the full MF9 tar you can try and flash again. Just power off phone completely, go to download mode, attach and run Odin. (same for MK2 or NAE) BUT if you tried flashing MJA/MK2 or NAE you cannot go back to MF9. Things you should have read about already.
If it hangs on boot after flashing, power off completely, boot to stock recovery and do a factory reset and then let it restart first reboot can take 5 to 10 earth minutes.
You can then root via CF-Autoroot or Saferoot, install goomanager to grab a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) OR Odin said recoveries (Philz, TWRP etc.)

I think i fixed it.
Problems resolved.
The issue was i had Sacs v4 which didnt support wifi and i read that it needed MF9 firmware.
i had a lapse in judgement and without thinking tried to go back from MJA. didnt catch it until now.
I eventually found the correct stock file. eventually got into the phone. rerooted and in the process of install the proper sacs ROM (v5.6)
this was a simple error that i shouldve caught thanks guys!
hopefully this ROM will work with wifi...
BTW, all my backups were wiped
Your backups weren't on your external sd? Ooo, that sucks. Glad you got it.

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.
