I would try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50667360
Go to the second post in the thread. Start with step 7. You'll want to side load the update.zip through adb. To do that you'll boot into recovery and side load the update.zip file. Follow the instructions to side load only.
Edit, if that doesn't work I would Odin the mk2 files again and attempt the ota again.

during the sideload i got an error message that read signature verification failed. I never thought it'd be so hard just to update my phone

It shouldn't be this hard. You have something funny with your phone. Why don't you try to Odin the mk2 files again.

Yes, that's the right file. And if odin didn't give you any errors then it flashed correctly. I'm kind of stumped right now. The nb1 update.zip you downloaded has an md5, did you check that to make sure the download was good?
EDIT, What a minute I see the problem. you need to use all 4 of the files. Put the AP file in PDA, BL in bootlaoder, CP in phone and CSC in CSC of odin.

the nb1 update zip has multiple folder including META INF, patch, recovery, and system. I cant find an md5, does that mean i have the wrong update zip?

No I ment the md5 check sum it's unique to the file and can be used to verify the file integrity. But see my edit above. That's the problem.

HELP!!

Hey Ive been running infamousness alpha s4 rom. Tried to flash 9.0 but go stuck in a boot loop. So I looked into it people said it was twsp recovery. So I downloaded philz recovery and flashed it. I forgot to flash Loki doki and I put my phone into recovery mood and now the exclamation mark keeps popping up saying system not authorized by AT&T. Idk what to do can anyone help??
Ok managed to restart the phone by holding all volume down and home and off. But now I don't know what to do about the recovery. If I go into recovery it will probably happen again. Is there a way to go into the system files and delete

Oif you can't get into recovery then you going to have to odin back to stock. Since you have a recovery I assume you're on the mdl firmware?

I've including a link to a guide. It is not for the i337 so don't use any files referenced in it. But it's a good guide. You're going to want to get the firmware from sammobile.com. You have to register but it's free. Download the firmware for your specific device. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin, PDA.

Sprint s4 sph-l720 help!!!!

Ok so I was running CM 11 while i was on MK2 firmware....i flashed a wrong file now i am stuck, I can get into download mode.

Boy that could be bad...
BUT if you get to Download mode you may be able to grab the full MK2 Odin-able .tar you should be Okay.
Please note that the sph-L720 is NOT the L720T. If you have that version and you flash this .tar you'll be hosed.

Make sure to Run Odin 'as administrator'.
From the zip just extract the .tar.md5 and place that into the PDA slot. Odin 3.09 seems to be working the best for most on this device.

You'll be stock everything - baseband(modem), kernel, recovery and ROM.
You will have the knox bootloader, so when you flash a custom recovery you'll 'trip' that. But not really a big deal. You can remove the 'Knox software(s) if you want - there are some removal scripts here in the forums. Only thing is you can't Odin back before MJA/MK2.
To root you can use CF-Autoroot or Saferoot, then use Goomanager or find a recovery zip here and install custom recovery of your choice.

Ok when i try to open the mk2 file it keeps saying the md5 hash is invalid. Ive tried 3 different odins to open it and i get the same result..
You don't open the .tar.md5 file.
You place this file - L720VPUEMK2_L720SPTEMK2_L720VPUEMK2_HOME.tar.md5 in the PDA slot.

have you tried heimdall? its unbricked me a few times, and its way easier to use too. i think you can use ob both windows and mac, i used on mac. if you are familiar with how to use a command line tool or terminal, this is the way to go. just my humble opinion.

[Q] SPH-L720 problems!!

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.

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:

using the file "I9505 Pit zip file" works the phone again?
I have already flashed the stock firmware 4.4.2 and crashes the same on the "SAMSUNG"
The pit file is only used if your partition is corrupted, and it is not the stock firmware. The firmware files are in the second post of that thread. If you haven't done so already, download the correct file from the second post, extract it, and flash the tar file using odin

[Q] Odin One Click Problem...

Hey guys, I'm trying to flash [ROM][ODIN]SPH-L720 MF9 (MF9 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - No Data Wipe - Rooted) by rwilco12. This is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134 . I cannot proceed with flashing because I have run into a bit of a problem. I am trying to flash to unlock my phone but at step 8 I've run into a snag. After I press start it fails. I see the yellow com box and everything but it still fails, I am also in Download Mode. 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.

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.

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?
