When Kies upgraded the firmware it updated the bootloader. Unfortunately you are stuck on Official firmware MHG8 and higher. There are some roms out now with an official MH8 base and you might be able to flash the CM110 roms BUT at this point
Omega is MH1 base so you can't flash this...

Help!! I may have bricked my s4

Hello everybody im in a little bit of a crisis.
I tried to update my modem to MK2 and I used odin to do so. It turns out that it failed for some reason.
After that whenever I boot my phone it gives me a black screen and says Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
After that I followed this youtube video right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jyZ5QafAQ and downloaded this file to go back to stock: http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-l720vpuamdc_l720sptamdc_spr-zip/
But yet it still gave me a Fail in odin. Any help would be appreciated as I am Freaking out right now

Here is the message log directly from odin when it starts
Firmware update starts
aboot.mbn
NAND write start
Complete(Write) Operation Failed

I switched USB ports now Odin is saying there is no PIT partition

If your on MJA/MK2 firmware (bootloader) you cannot go back to MDC (the file you showed).
Also did you run PC Odin 'As Administrator'?
You can find the link to the MK2 here.

I am on MDC bootloader. What I did was download the tar file from stockroms.net for MDC. And I ran the 3.07 odin as adimistrator and it worked. Thank you cause I think that it was me not clicking run as administrator. Another question: Is it worth upgrading to MK2 if I wanna root again or should I just keep MK2. I have the geeksquad warrenty from bestbuy so it shouldn't matter if it trips the knox flag because I give them rooted phones all the time.

I wouldn't update to the knox bootloader (take the OTA or flash the full .tar) but that's me, for now.
Since you're on the earlier bootloader you can still update to any number of ROMs that have the knox bootloader removed.
Also I would definitely update the modem firmware - Unknownforce has a thread for that here.
Spend some time and read and you'll find loads of stuff you can do.
Good luck.

So I can use the files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 in odin to update. Also since I am on mdc could I just use the latest in odin or do I have to go incrementaly.

If you truly are on MDC and did not trip the knox bootloader you can Odin back to stock MDC. That will wipe the phone completely, giving you an all MDC phone - bootloader, recovery (stock), kernel, modem and ROM.
But I would just jump to MF9. It was the last official without the Knox bootloader. You can grab that here.
This is the FULL system tar. All stock, kernel, recovery, ROM Modem.
Extract the .tar.md5 and place that in the PDA slot and that's it. Make sure you don't check 'repartition'!.
Then use CF-Autoroot to root and again be careful NOT to check anything like repartition etc.
Once rooted you can then open up supersu, update the binaries. Go to playstore and download GooManager. User that to install custom recovery and then you can flash away.
I do suggest you spend some time here reading a whole bunch. You'll learn a lot about these methods and how and what you can do.
Good luck.

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for continuing your tradition of quality posting. It is responses like this that made the E4GT forums such a great place to be.

Ok I have upgraded to MF9 now should I use Unkown Forces links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338919 to upgrade the firmware and modem?

And when I try to root with CF auto root on MF9 it fails on complete write operation failed.
Strike that its all good

If you're on MF9 full rooted you can update your firmware/modem following Unknownforce's instructions.
HOWEVER PLEASE take heed about the MJA(MK2 too) Notes: ...
some people report better success with turning Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked. Do the same flash, but when you see PASS on Odin, unplug the phone and Hold the Power key for 10 seconds to reboot.

And read through the whole post not just the OP. Some people had to flash it a few times to get it to show up (in system info) properly - mainly because they didn't follow directions precisely and skipped the note part on MJA/MK2.
Since you're now on MF9 fully rooted (stock) you can install yourself a custom recovery (Philz or TWRP - the latest Philz;philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltespr, seems to be the most reliable for now) and flash some ROMs. Virtually all of the 4.3/4.4 ROMs require the MK2 modem so know that too.
One thing I would highly recommend is to spend some time reading through the sections to get a clearer understanding of how this device behaves vs others (HTC, Moto etc.). Every device has it's peculiarities and caveats and not paying attention to them could ruin you day.

People need to know the difference between soft bricked and hard bricked. Most say bricked and they mean soft. Hard is nearly impossible to get the phone back up and running. I have that same problem when I try to install a kernel. You need to reflash a ROM.

Same happened to me when i used mobile Odin. The bootloader wasn't updated.
Did you use Odin 1.85? And did you tick the option update new bootloader? If not do that.
If did that then wipe cache and data reset from recovery.

yeah i used the wrong version of odin. i used 1.85 now its working, but i didnt select update bootloader, how do i know if it updated the bootloader?

You know if the phone is up and running. Kitkat can't boot without new bootloader. So if the phone is working there is no issues.

just FYI,
if you want to flash TW custom ROM, the best you use is Chenglu CWM. So far I seldom see user complain got problem during flashing with this CWM.
TWRP, some users got problem, some are not.

my note 3 4G never boot with 4.4 why ?

hello i have a problem
every time i try to flash 4.4 with update boatloader it gave me fail in odin
try another firmware it boot but never leave the n9005 logo
what it the problem ?
i can install x-note ROM 4.3 with recovery and work fine
but x-note 4.4 boot but never leave the n9005 logo too
is my phone hate kitkat?

Is my due to bo you gi di eg?
Why even touch your phone when you can't basics or at least learn some by reading and searching and Google translating some. How about to sell your note and get a dumb phone.
What logo? Samsung?
Just clear dalvik cache and factory reset from recovery. Turn phone off. Pul battery out. Volum up, home and power button at same time and do it from there. You will be find after a reboot.

i did that
and i did every thing here

Hello.
When upgrade to kk with upgrading bootloader sometimes will have a bootloop. This is normal.
I read few website they all suggest same thing.
When u face bootloop just go to recovery do wipe data and wipe cache partition.
I upgrade few note 3 already from 4.3, all the same. Have to do wipe.
Some I use nb7 germany some I use nc2 czech. All have to full wipe.
Sent from N9005 NC2 ROM.

i tried what you told me but the same no boot to system whin tick update bootloader on not tick it
tried two firmware
no luck
back to xnote 4.3

Use odin 1.85, correct usb drivers, uninstall/kill kies. If you can still run a 4.3 rom like you said then obviously your bootloader hasnt been updated. Or 4.3 wouldnt boot at all.
Also you say odin gives you a fail, but you dont even give the details as to what fails? A simple copy and paste is all that is needed.

@BlackMonkey It happened to me several times. What I had to do: flashed the stock ANE2 rom from sammobile (it allows to download for free, but it is slow). Flashed the BL and CP from ANE2 (I don't remember where I found it but it was on google. Actually, you should try the next step first, as I am not sure that it is required). Rebooted in recovery mode. Wiped cache. Rebooted. Root with towelroot. Install mobile odin. Flashed rom with option everroot. And you got lollipop in knox 0x0. Once in lollipop, mobile odin as failed each time for me, the same as you describe. It could be an issue with rom that use AROMA which are not supported. I had to use flashfire which works great.
ps : i did that as I wanted to keep knox 0x0. If you don't, you should install TWRP.

Thank you for your answer. I alredy did exactly this because i wanted to use again my phone and didnt see other solution. I hoped for a solution without a factory reset but it was necessary. Lost some picture and messages and have work for some hours So at that point be warned:
DON'T USE MOBILE ODIN WITH LOLLIPOP!!!

The problem is MOP doesn't support Lollipop.
So if u want to save data flash via odin the same rom but stock.
