Hey there guys, I have the i337M Galaxy S4 (since then it has been changed to i9505), but I recently had enough of flashing roms and chose to go back to stock touchwiz firmware. I downloaded the right firmware for my device, and I tried flashing it with odin. When the flashing was done, the odin onscreen said "pass!", however, when my phone rebooted, it was still on the old rom, and nothing has changed. I tried a different computer, a different cable, everything, and I am very sure it's an issue with the phone.
I don't know why it does this, but now I have seen when after it reboots, it reboots into stock recovery, and there is a green bar that moves with the green android above it, but once the green bar reachs halfway, the phone reboots and it remains the same, as if there was no stock rom flashed onto it. I flashed a custom rom (CM11) through custom recovery, and then I used odin to flash stock rom. It seemed to work, but the bootscreen got stuck on the samsung logo(the samsung logo was just pulsing).
This is what it says on ODIN (When I flash the Official 4.3 Samsung update for I337M):

Funny thing is, I restored a backup I had, and the data works fine with that (rooted touchwiz backup). However, as soon as I try to factory restore it through the phone, it completes, but data stops working. The same issue happens with ODIN as described above if I am on the restored ROM.
Please help me!

Ok so it turned out to be that the APN settings were messed up lol, but I still don't understand why they get wiped after each factory reset, AND why when I try flashing with ODIN, nothing changes...

It fixes the issue, but I would like to know why the APN settings get wiped after a factory restore? Just curious lol, I know they can be put in manually, but before this they would automatically be there. It's a minor frustration

It seems to be a carrier-specific issue. Might have something to do with frequency. I know that when I sold my old S3, which was an original factory unlocked phone from T-Mobile, detected my APN settings fine on the Bell network here in Canada. However, when I put in a Wind SIM (same frequency as T-Mobile), I needed to re-configure the APN settings. Which is a bit ironic, if anything.

Hello from the UK!
I saw on SamMobiles website that they had 4.4.2 for my Note 3 (SM-N9005) with Vodafone... My phone is a Vodafone so I downloaded it used Odin 3.09 to flash it onto the phone... That didnt work it failed on system.img.ext4 with this

Ive tried downloading Jelly Bean 4.3 again and using odin to re install it but as soon as I click start it fails...
Kies will not recognise the phone either...
Ive attached the screens I am able to get on my phone... This is it, it will not boot and I get no other things on screen but these...
Does anyone have any advice? How can I fix it? Im expecting calls over the weekend that are really imporant so desperately need this working.
Thanks Jono

Well, first of all, your bootloader has been upgraded to Kitkat's.
So you can't flash a JB ROM.
Keep trying different Kitkat ROMs.
Try the leaked one.
And if you are willing to trip knox, you can use a custom ROM.
Got it working! What I did was
Download the Firmware you require, in my case for the UK Vodafone Version for the SM-N9005 4.4.2 I used this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=25990
I then downloaded Odin 3.07 as 3.09 wouldnt work for me!
http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/
Now this alone wouldnt work for me then I found a similar thread that provided some info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662373
On this thread they link to a .pit file to flash with the stock ROM, I used this along with the Firmware I downloaded earlier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50614669&postcount=77
So now it would work and I am succesfully on 4.4.2, now once its all running and I got the the Samsung Logo I took the battery out, booted in recovery mode, cleared the cache and the performed a factory reset... Once the phone resarted I went through the normal process of setting it up and viola...
Ill add that although it says it was UK Vodafone mine was spanish? I dont know wether that was because of the .pit file? Ill let the experts decide on that one..
Simple thing though, change the language and remove the vodafone app that came with it in spanish...
Hope its of some help to people.

Exactly the same thing happened to me tonight.
What can I say - Thank you SO much for bothering to take to the time to write how you fixed it. It fixed it for me as well - I'm so relieved now!

hello everyone
i rooted my s4 a while back, then unrooted by flashing XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 through odin
then i decided to root it again, it worked but this time the wifi stopped working so i flashed XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 (same firmware) again, except everytime i do it, odin gives me a fail
i used a pit file to flash with XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 (same firmware again), except during the middle of this process, the connection between my cable and phone broke
tried pit + XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 (same thing) on odin 3.09 after the first attempt, it gives me a fail and this

Although this message your phone is in download mode
change usb port and try again
try different port
Fixed it somehow........
actually disregard all that, i flashed the pit file by itself in odin 3.09 and everything works again O_O
i'm missing an app which is weird...
i still can't reflash XSA-I9505XXUEMK9-20131212101727 through odin though, it still gives me a fail, which ends up ruining everything again, so i reflash the pit and now this happens
i did a factory reset, now samsung keyboard keeps crashing and the menu and back button do nothing
wth is happening ._.

Did you try downloading it again and trying with a fresh copy?

A LOT more detail about what you are trying to do, what you started with, etc etc etc would be helpful.
Was the phone working before?
Are you just trying to update it?
What ROM did you have before? Stock or custom?
Give us the bigger picture here.
If your phone was working before then what you've done shouldn't have killed anything. Pull the battery and reboot and it should start up as normal.
The next thing I'd try (After the 2 things I've already suggested that you didn't check yet) is to uncheck REBOOT AUTOMATICALLY in Odin. When it fails, immediately run the update again. See what happens then.
HELP!
i have before make this Cyanogen mod 10.2 and then i decided to flash to stock rom
now i make an Fullwipe per CWM and then i took The tar of the firmware of my old stock version.

A LOT more detail about what you are trying to do, what you started with, etc etc etc would be helpful.
Was the phone working before?
Are you just trying to update it?
What ROM did you have before? Stock or custom?
Give us the bigger picture here.
If your phone was working before then what you've done shouldn't have killed anything. Pull the battery and reboot and it should start up as normal.

As long as Odin isn't actively writing to the device, nothing will happen with a battery pull.
You shouldn't have full wiped the phone prior to this.
And please don't make multiple threads to discuss the same thing.
Just try the things I've suggested so far.
I've been rooting and stuff since 2012. I got a S4 AT&T I337. I rooted with Geohots app. I don't know what its called, but you just tap "make it rain" and then you install SuperSu. All that worked fine, it rooted and I took off the bloatware with TBK. And after that I tried installing TWRP. I downloaded the TWRP app and chose the right phone and model I have and flashed the TWRP recovery. Then I rebooted and It booted into download mode and I got a message in red at the top saying "stuck in odin mode". I then took the battery out and booted into download mode by holding volume Down and power and then pressed down to restart the phone. The phone works fine it's just when I boot into recovery mode It boots into this download mode thing with a message in red saying 'Stuck in odin Mode'
I installed safestrap and now when I restart the phone from the Device options. Power Off, airplane mode and restart. it gives me the option to continue and boot normally or go into recovery mode. But at the top off safestrap in says safestrap Disabled I don't know what that means.
What did I do wrong? How can I fix this? And did I make a big mistake?
I have a I337 NI1 running 4.4.2 Stock. I just got this phone off ebay so I know for a fact it probaly hasn't been messed with.
I also tired uning triangle away but that didn't fix my problem. I'm thing about just getting a Stock NI1 odin .tar and doing an emerency flash.
Do you have an i337 our an i337m? I'm not clear on that. Twrp won't work on the i337
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I got the normal S4
You're most likely gonna have to use the Odin to stock thread in the general section. Sounds like you meant 1337 on NI1 baseband, which can't use twrp. You're right to use safestrap but it sounds like you might have mucked your phone up a bit.
I tried that but it didn't work out to well. odin almost finished but I got an error at the very very end of the flash. But I can still get into download mode. I'm thinking about flashing the MLD since the NI1 didn't work out.
How bad do you think I messed my phone up? what would you do to fix it? This is my first time working with the s4. Every other phone I had and rooted and messed with worked fine. But this s4 is something different. Do you think you can tell me the do's and don'ts on the s4. Thanks! I need to get it fixed by Friday.

Try different usb ports (use the ones in the back of the pc) and cables. Odin can be finicky. You're flashing the right file

That's what I figured it was. I'm on a little Acer laptop right now. I'm about to go use my cousins desktop. I hear those are better than laptops. I'll keep you updated man just stick with me.
ALRIGHT! All I did was go to my cousins house, install the USB driver! NOT KIES! And use his factory USB cable and it fixed it just FINE!!
I have a Note 4 SM-N910G that used to run on 5.1.1.
It kept bugging me for an update through OTA but couldn't cuz It was rooted
so I skimmed over the procedure and used TWRP and flashed my phone to CM13. Which ended up worse than before.
Sooo I flashed the stock rom for 6.1.1 using Odin aaand it was still laggy and now shuts down on its own.
Long story short, I re-rooted a couple of times. 30-ish. Aaaand now anything I flash my phone with keeps failing.
I know. I know. I'm an idiot.
It can still boot with VOL Down + Power button + Home though.
When I do the volume up procedure I get a "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
Am I screwed or is there still hope?
Don't give up mate, Your phone is just laggy, not hard bricked. There is no 6.1.1 stock rom for note 4, we just got 6.0.1!!! I have flashed (rom, mods, recovery, etc) thousands of times in my note 4 and your issue may not have caused because of rooting or flashing. As u have already tried mm stock, Try to flash 5.1.1 unmodified stock rom with odin. Check the battery too, Once my friend's Note 2 had boot loop just because of the faulty battery, in live power(battery removed after samsung logo with charger plugged) it booted without a issue.
I'm having exactly the same issue, nothing I flash be it stock or rom is stable any more. Lags, then shuts off. Sometimes reboots on it's own, other times it needs the battery pulling. Nothing I have tried works

So I left it without the battery on for a couple of hours and tried to flash the stock rom and it failed again. But halfway through though!

Use Kies to recover your phone. Choose firmware upgrade & initialisation and enter your full model number (for example SM-N910F) & serial number.

See if you have checked repartition. uncheck it if it is checked(Uncheck this just before you are about to click on start) and flash again.

It's always unchecked though. Still the same result. Messes up at system.img.ext4

Whenever I choose firmware upgrade & initialization it hangs when I search for my phone's model.
Ooookay. It said I needed a PIT File. I got one scouring the internet and did a flash.

Now I read somewhere that I need to enable something in my android to make the system.img.ext4 not fail.
But how can I enable that option if I can't even finish flashing? :|
If I boot it normally, I get firmware upgrade encountered and issue.

Kies 3. Make sure you use capital letters when entering your phone model.

I enter the phone model, SM-N910G, click ok, and says do not remove usb connection.
after the preparation for the update finishes Kies 3 just turns black and nothing in it can be clicked.
My phone's firmware is now 6.0.1
The errors I get are
system.img.ext4 fail
rpm.mbn fail
firmware encountered an issue
mmc read failed to boot normal
either of the 4 show up after flashing.
tried flashing with the PIT file + the stock firmware, PIT file only, firmware only,
system.img.ext4 fails. Always does. But last night I tried it again and it went halfway through! But still failed.
Here You go,
1. Use Odin v3.10, go to PIT tab and select your device specific pit file first.
2. Click AP on the right side and select the latest firmware .tar.md5 file.
3. Go to options tab and select Auto-reboot, clear nand partition, re-partition, F.reset time & bootloader update as you need to format emmc (nand).
4. Flash the device, wait for it to complete and give it 5 mins to boot.
5. Once rebooted you may get stuck at samsung logo, dont worry, just go to stock recovery by pulling battery and holding down volup+home+power and perform a factory reset and clear cache.
6. Might take upto 5mins, but works like a charm.

Thanks for the reply!
I used the PIT file you gave me and used
N910GDTU1DPD4_N910GODD1DPB5_N910GDDU1DPB4_HOME.tar and
N910GDTU1DPD4_N910GODD1DPB5_N910GDDU1DPB4_HOME.tar
but both still gave me the system.img.ext4 fail
I checked
auto reboot,
repartition,
f. reset time,
nand erase all
and phone bootloader update on the third try
but still failed and gave me a new error written in blue or grey not sure but it was something like
odin failed to write.
edit: I can now boot to android recovery!
but at the very bottom it says
supported api: 3
dm-verity verification failed...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
Still hoping someone could help me!
