If u have orignal bill and have not rooted the phone before,go to a Samsung care and have it fixed.
Dont mess with it anymore,u may trip Knox,resulting in warranty void

are u worried abt ur warranty?
coz if u flashed stock 4.3 then knox was installed too ..
and with knox tripped, u loose ur warranty ..
If u don't care abt that, wipe clean everything then flash any rom, it will do fine..

Hi, i have a problem when i try to install the custom recovery of philz. (The latest one for s4 6.53.9)
I have a samsung s4 black edition. I did all the steps on the guide, but when i install the custom recovery i only get "reset" on odin and nothing happened on the phone. On download mode it say that i have a custom firmware but the knox warranty flag has not tripped.
If anyone have an answer please help.

Can you please link the guide you have followed?
What black edition version do you have? I9500 or I9505, i understand there are 2 versions depending on region.
Is the bootloader unlocked?
What version Odin are you using?
Remember to reboot into recovery by holding volume up while turning power on after flashing.
Holding volume down gives you download mode.
Did you put the recovery package in the PDA tab?
I use odin 3.07 and used the guide of philz. I tryed with auto reboot and without auto reboot on odin, i put the tar.md5 file on pda without anything else. The only other option ticked was f.reset time.

Bump
Noone knows anything? Please help, I can't do anything with the phone in this state. I can't install the official firmware nor the recovery too.
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
if problem persists:
Different usb cable
Different usb port
Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
Already done all that stuff,
Any other suggestions?

In odin 3.07 I was putting the tar.md5 in PDA, where should I put it now? Because your file is in .zip.md5 and I can't put it in any slot.

Hi. I have a NOTE 4 running ANK4 android 4.4 rooted with CWRP.
My question is: In order to flash a STOCK 5.0.1 tar from sammobile, what are the steps I need to follow?
Do I simply have to get the tar file and flash it through Odin?
Do I have to unroot/remove custom recovery first?
Do I have to factory reset and reset cache?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

hi,
your first question is correct
if you flash you will automatically lose root and recovery.. (no need to unroot and remove custom recovery..)
read my post #2 in this thread.. see link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3068738
for snapshot and more details
lastly it up to you if you want to factory reset etc.. it is not necessary
good luck
Download the file from www.samfirmware.com, make sure you have the CORRECT firmware for your SPECIFIC phone model.
While you are on the download page, there is an instruction, which I copied below:
Instructions:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.09
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
You don't need to root or do anything, just MAKE SURE that "Reactivation Lock" under Settings>Security is DE-ACTIVATED.
You don't necessarily have to do a Reset, but if you are having problems with force closing apps, battery drain etc... then do a Reset.
Good luck
Ok I just did that, ODIN said passed but literally nothing happened to the phone? lmao. It still shows android 4.4

I'm sorry, I'm a retard. I had a 4.4 backup in case things went south and I flashed that instead of the lollipop. All is good now, lmao.
So i wanted to upgrade to lolipop. In order to do that i followed this tutorial http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-to-lollipop-and-keep-root/ and they said to flash to NJ4. (using this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56453108&postcount=2 ) Since i was already rooted and had safestrap i followed STEP 2 and after these
1. Reboot into Download Mode
2. In Odin, and flash NC1 Kernel file in the AP slot
3. Phone will reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
instructions i cannot boot to my phone now , it only shows that "boot to safestrap recovery or to my phone". If i click my phone it just blacks out and shuts off.
I tried to factory reset in safestrap recovery and after than i tried to boot into system but it says no os found? are you sure you want to boot..
Another note:- i used ODIN 3.09 since it was stated in STEP 1, now i can see how dumb i am since it was for I9505 :|
Auto reboot and F. Reset times were checked. Android Version was: 4.3 , Model: SGH-i337
Please help me with this,
Thanks - Ninetailz
First, there is no specific Odin for a specific phone. It's the same Odin for any Samsung phone. It sounds like you should flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and start the process all over again

Yes Because You are on Android Kitkat...Baseband Version Shows The Android version...So Cannot Flash Android's Same Base Band on Earlier Same base-band...
If You Do So than You'll be Again on Android Kitkat...
When You Update To Lollipop Your Baseband Will be Change To that N910AUCU1COC4....I Mentioned Base band Just because You can Know What's New...
There is No need To Worry just Flash With Odin & Follow The Steps Carefully You'll Get Lollipop..than in Lollipop Your Baseband will be N910AUCU1COC4....After That You'll Be able To Update Via OTA... Its Latest N910AUCU2COC5 update is Around 160MB You'll Get that in OTA..
