1337m rogers (need help updating) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey there,
A few months back I was ****ing around with lots of different ROMS but since I had the 1337m I had a lot of MODEM issues and settled on the DEFAULT.
I forgot about it and recently I realized 4.4.2 is out officially for my device!
I wanted to upgrade OTA and it says "Your device has been modified" I tried to do a FACTORY RESET and that didn't work, still same message.
What do I do?
Do I flash another ROM? or what's the steps?
I'd appreciate some advice/tips!

Have you try installing an original from sammobile??

You'll download a zip. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file. Flash that in Odin on your pc. Google Odin 1.85. You'll use the PDA slot in Odin. Phone needs to be in download mode and connected to your usb port.

I have the latest ODIN
do I need to download that specific one?
because the latest one doesnt have PDA

3.09 Odin is recommendable, in the download page says so, maybe u can use that one.

If you have the latest, that's ok, use pa slot instead of PDA.

It this official firmware is loaded : Will it lockup the phone from being rooted and custom recovery from being installed??
Model: SGH-I337M
Model name: GALAXY S4
Country: Canada (Rogers)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 880525
Build date: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 16:41:46 +0000
Product Code: RWC
PDA: I337MVLUFNC1
CSC: I337MOYAFNC1
MODEM: I337MVLUFNC1

This happened with me too, but my device was not rooted or anything at the time. I just ended up going to Kies 3 and it asked to update, and worked perfectly fine.
If that doesn't work. try finding a stock rom, but other than that, the Kies method should work perfectly fine.

.....

...Yes, but by updating via Kies or from Samsung Mobile Firmware, will it then lock up the phone and prevent
rooting and custom recovery?

I'm not to sure about that, but when my phone had that message, I updated via Kies, and then I could root right after and everything was working fine as can be.

Anyone load the 4.4.2 official from Samsung mobile yet? Did it prevent rooting and custom recovery?
I am having problems with my 7500mah battery (ZeroLemon). Plugged in for 4 hours and it only charged to 75%. The 7000mah on my S3
would fully charge in that time from approximately 10%.
Not happy with my S4 to this point.... Running the Skyfall ROM and the vibration is VERY week....... Anyone??
Suggestions?????

I installed the original 4.4.2 stock Samsung rom. I ****ed something up hard and flashed that rom via Odin and everything seems to be working just fine. Also, I don't think it prevented rooting, as after I installed the stock rom, I rooted again and it worked fine.
Also, custom roms seem to be very buggy on GS4s for some reason. I know on certain roms sound, calling and texting all don't work. But the vibration might be a problem with the rom.

what you do for the wi-fi issue..

What's the worst case that could happen? As I understand I should be still able to return to my stock by flashing p7501 firmware with odin. Or maybe Odin denies flashing the p7500 firmware. Than nothing will happen.

Got it sorted. i didnt have to flash cwm just booted into stock recovery and wiped............ and hey presto it worked.
I just a mild noob moment
ROM ZIP files?
Perhaps this is a newbie question, but doesn't ODIN use .tar files? I know Mobile ODIN does, The downloads for the P7510 are zip files? Mobile ODIN doesn't recognize the zip files?

S4 At&t i337 will no let wifi or bluetooth turn on

I bought a s4 from someone on Craig's list. phone looked and powered up so I paid him for it when I went to Best buy to update my account to having a S4 and not an iPhone we tried to get wifi to come on it would go lite green then turn gray same for the bluetooth. I tried find the guy I got my phone from his phone # is disconnected. long story short I found he had rooted it them wiped it back to stock. I have tried a lot of thing I searched. I tried all the file I could find. Now I have the phone rooted with saferoot with knox disabler and installed safestrap ran jfltatt-mk3-modules.zip. my baceband is NC1 but my buil is MK2. PLEASE HELP.
Thank you,
Treydawg
You could first try flashing the MK2 modem.
If the above doesnt work, download and flash using Odin the full MK2 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
My Baseband is NC1 but my build number is MK2 do I flash MK2 modem or NC1 modem
I have safestrap on the phone now flash it with safestrap or odem.
sorry for all the questions

On stock rom, all firmware components have the same version. So, one could say their firmware version by looking at the baseband. But, actually, the baseband is the modem. Since you build is MK2, you should flash the MK2 modem to make everything compatible.
If the file is in ".tar" or ".tar.md5" format, you flash using Odin. If the file is in zip format, then you flash it using recovery.
As per the All things ATT thread, the modems are flashable via recovery.

It was a zip file but didn't help. Im about to think the phone is bad and give up. I was think of doing the 4.4.2 upgrade with the wifi fix and see if that helped. whats your thoughts on my next move?

You will love this one. I upgrade my Rom and the phone worked (not wifi or Bluetooth) for a little bit I went to load BL, AP, CL with Oden like it told me to. Oden locked up on BL and my phone locked up saying upgrade fail connect to kies to recover something like that. I had to down grade back to MK2 reload a rom I had. But now the build is MK2 but the baseband is MLD. I was able to root it with SafeRoot but I can't load SafeStrap on it. Plus still no WiFi or Bluetooth. Don't know where to go from here. Help please!
Flash the NB1 firmware from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 thread under return to stock section. There is one version which is rootable with towelroot.
can you post your screengrab on here?
I've noticed that lately, there has been more clones that has the same issues.
Either the person who had the phone before you either attempted to flash modem and failed or it may be a clone with older firmware and newer baseband.
Also, upon the bootup, if you see the android icon instead of that Samsung logo, it might be a fake or has custom roms.
Oh, and I also encounter this same issues. You're better off flashing NB1, then updating to NC1 for root method. But if you're still on MK1, try reflashing it or try letting kies do a recovery on your phone.
Also, check the imei on swappa.com and verify that your phone isn't on the blacklist.

Since I don't have wifi and I put my sims cards in another phone I had to take a pic of the screen
I flashed the NB1 to the phone after 30 mins the wifi started working (about 2 hours) but when I was setting up my tv on watchon the wifi stopped working and has not worked since.
I checked on Swappa.com not black listed

[Q] Galaxy S4 can't send/receive calls and SMSs

Hello guys!
In the past, I faced some similar problems with my Galaxy S3 because I was a mad ROMs tester, so one time the baseband messed up with me and I lost all the network abilities, but I managed to deal with that..
Today it's my dad's issue, he likes to keep everything on stock, but rooted...
So he updated his I9505 to the latest Lollipop version, then he rooted it..
Today he told me that he can't make or receive ANY calls or SMSs, but the mobile data is still working as it should.
He can't remember if the problem started before or after updating.. So I tried the following:
• Did a factory reset.
• flashed a clean 4 files firmware through ODIN.
• took the SIM away and tested it on another devices, it works fine.
• Downgraded to KitKat and flashed the proper modem and bootloader.
Nothing helped [emoji17][emoji17]
So I wish that you guys, can do your best to help me..
P.S. The IMEI serial number is fine ( no null/null or imilar errors ).

The other place to get the full ROM is samsung-updates.com. However, for your issue, flashing just the modem and bootloader should be sufficient.

That's because one cannot downgrade.
There is a downgrade guide, but it is for the I9505 only.
So I guess you're stuck with official lollipop roms, or maybe custom KitKat roms.

Wrong!
Because the Marshmallow rom is NOT official firmware.
As I said before, you are stuck with official Lollipop firmware. But you can use any custom roms you like.

The problem was that he was trying to downgrade, not the cables and USB ports. He actually managed to do it but now his WiFi won't work.
I guess I was making my post as the op was editing his post.
I am not that familiar with the i9515 but I though the 9515 shipped with LP firmware.

Factory Binary - Successful downgrade from MM to LP

I stumbled across this file on the net and thought I would give it a spin.
I was on Firmware N910VVRU2CPF3 dated June 2016
I flashed the "Combination file" using Odin 3.10.7
COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_N910VVRU2APB1_VZW2APB1_2932719_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I then flashed N910VVRU2BPA1 firmware from here
It worked and now I am on 5.1.1
I wanted to go lower but, because of the Binary being fused at 2, I was unable.
Perhaps someone can find a way to get back to 4.4.4 with this so we can root with CF Auto Root.
For those that might be confused on how to use this..
1. Place your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin on your PC, select the AP button, and then select the combination file that you just downloaded..
3. After install the phone will reboot and it will be in a Factory repair or test mode.. feel free to tinker and explore.
4. Power off your phone and go back to download mode.
5. Go back into Odin and flash your desired firmware which would be 5.1.1 and above.

I'm pretty sure you can just use the BPA1 firmware to downgrade without flashing the "Combination file".

Perhaps ?
I have seen several warnings not to take any updates past a certain date on Android 6.0.1, otherwise you cannot go back, as the newer firmware prevents any downgrading in lieu of "security patch".
The Combination file enables you to install any firmware or newer than its specific binary.
In running this you will notice a bare bones KitKat 4.4.4 AOSP UI.
The Binary is fused for loading only firmware that includes KNOX, as it was first introduced as of 5.1.1 for the SM-N910V
Which is my belief why it is such a secret to go back.

unnecessary ! you can flash back to lollipop(5.1.1 bpa1) with Odin without the need of this binary and Knox hit the scene on jellybean final bud (4.3)
@mojoswagger1980
Please show me 4.3 firmware for the SM-N910V
The Verizon Note 4 Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 then to 5.1.1
Per Samsung the update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 installed Knox on the SM-N910V.
This Binary is very useful ..
But glad to know you don't like that I posted it.
Lol the sm 900v (note3) premiered on 4.3 essentially the same phone seriously. For the record you said Knox kept us from downgrading as of lolipop I then corrected that statement with mine . device model firmware doesn't apply given that Knox was universaly added to all android devices at that time
I downgraded successfully using BPA1 from the newest firmware just this last week. No issues or conflicts and rerooted/bootloader unlocked...easypeasy

Check to make sure you are not using a USB3 port. I always have issues with USB3.
Those of you that have downgraded back to 5.1.1. I have a question for you.
While on 6.0.1, did you have problems with your GPS with it losing signal? IF SO, did downgrading back to 5.1.1 solve this problem?
I've been having problems with my GPS for quite awhile now and I can't figure out if the problem is related to 6.0.1, loose screws or oxidation of the contacts inside of my phone.
Know what? I think all my laptop usb are usb3. I'll try my older laptop and let you know
i needed a pit file for the note 4 vzw i added that and erased the partition via odin and now im flashing 5.1.1 no errors this time
Anyone try this with build number: MMB29M.N910VVRS2CQB2 ????

I got it to work. Don't go doing anything just yet. I plan to make a new topic about it.

GPS Signal I believe is hardware related and I have that problem as well..
This appears to be the most feasible approach to fixing it and I will be attempting this shortly as it is not the same phone model but possibly the same cause for the issue.

Trying to downgrade as well and having the same issues.... cannot flash anything without it failing. The only firmware that worked was the combination one and nothing else. Please help! Thanks!
