Anyone know if a certain version of mobile odin works for our phones?
I miss beyond able to flash a modem on the fly and kernel. Well kernel flashing works in recovery at least.

Edit:
You can use it to flash everythig BUT MODEMS
I saw modems and that was why I was quick to respond.
I haven't used it since my S3. But it has the Sprint GS4 under supported devices. I'm not usrr up to what software version though.

mobile odin and modems
In every post about flashing a new modern you have to completely power down and go into download mode and flash to get it to stick. Mobile odin
Does not power off to flash it works like a recovery and just flashes and reboots. So no it will never work to use mobile odin to flash modems.
Why they don't stick unless you power off i don't know

I don't have access to a computer to root my att S4. Is there any way to do it without a computer?

No, you'll need a computer for at least part of the process. What firmware ate you on?
I have a deathly slow xp laptop available.
Firmware is i337UCUEMK2

Well luckily rooting isn't that system taxing. I rooted mine on a 2006 laptop...slow but worked
Just read this guide:

and use this method to root:

Call me a moron but I am stuck in download mode after not following the instructions for the recovery. I used goo manager to install twrp. How can I recover from this?

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.

Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.

You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp
I tried doing it with goomanager and it tells me there isn't a version for my phone. How come?

probably because it hasnt been updaed in GooManager to support the L720T.
I believe there is a TAR file that you can flasg via ODIN. Philz has a great recovery that works and is based on CWM.

check here...use ODIN 1.85 to flash the latest .tar

Thanks! So is my Galaxy limited when it comes to ROMs and stuff then? OR can I use the normal s4 roms?

You can use any s4 rom I believe, but you will lose the Spark function of the T model if the rom doesn't support it.
Main thing, have a good Nandroid of your working touchwiz system, flash new rom, if you boot loop, nandroid back to your working system.
Before you install a ROM and after making a nandroid. Restore it to make sure it backed up correctly.

Make a note of your firmware and baseband as you may need to reflash to the correct firmware in order to have the best experience. I'm still on MK5. I have decided to be patient and wait. The spark is very noticeable compared to my s3 (i had).
I wanted to install the stock rom on my Sprint Galaxy s4. I installed mobile odin lite along with the proper kernel. I downloaded the stock rom from http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...axy S4 (SPH-L720)/Stock ROMs/MK2/Original TAR It's in the form of tar.md5. I transferred that onto my phone. When I launch odin and click on that file I get the message Partition could not be found in file. What am I doing wrong?
The proper way to do it would be on a PC and use Odin rather than mobile Odin. Use version 3.xx to have good results.

Something is wrong with the cables I'm using or the computers since windows doesn't recognize the phone. I downloaded and installed the latest drives, but still can't get the phone recgonized. That's why I wanted to use mobile odin
hello everyone,
yesterday I flashed the x-note rom on my note 3 and for some reason it got stuck in a boot loop so I flashed the official uk 4.4 rom and when it booted up I found out that my phone was absolutely no sound and as a result I cannot receive or make calls. I also tried flashing the volume boost mod and it didn't work.
help me please.
I'm desperate.

flashed the ne4 and the nc2 modems
didn't work
any other ideas?
Are you using an Nordic/Scandinavian variant? - if so, flash back to stock. There is some issues with them particular variants and has been since 4.4.2. - Even if you aren't I'd go back to 100% stock to be 100% sure first to determine if it may be a hardware issue also.
I'm baffled and have no idea what to do next
I flashed an mdj modem IIRC, and lost sound.
Running stable CM11
Current modem is MK6 currently.
I tried to flash through Odin back to stock but it failed twice - even though it was for my Rogers device 4.4.2
Im lost

Anyone know what the solution is?.
Do I need the stock kernel? Do I need to reflash modems?
If not and you guys think I need to Odin to stock can someone link me to the proper file and some steps?
I can't seem to ever get any stock roms to flash in odin

Odin can be finicky. Try different usb cables and ports. You should be able to get the firmware for your device at sammobile.com

It's not a connection port issue it's a Fail Auth when the stock firmware is almost done installing
Thank you for replying
