After flashing 4.3 leak on my I9500 using Odin 3.09, it doesn't boot up as it should, I have wiped data/cache, but to no avail. I even flashed the Russian official 4.3 firmware, but it just doesn't boot up as it should.
When I turn on the phone, the phone stops right after the "Galaxy S4 I9500," screen. I see a black screen right after that.
I tried to downgrade my phone using Odin 3.09, 3.07 and 3.04, but it keeps failing. My S4 shows "unsupported version," when I try to flash stock 4.2.2.
I am guessing this is probably happening because of the newer bootloader, the newer bootloader is making it impossible to downgrade to an older version.

ok try this first use the cf root provided in the cf root thread and then dload the latest 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html from here and flash it see what happens
Solved.
The problem was that I didn't flash the stock rom that came with my phone. I flashed that and my phone was restored to its factory settings. However my imei was messed up, it was showing me 0049. I rooted, flashed twrp recovery and used twrp to restore from a backup and I got my imei back along with my data.
I will wait for 4.3 to become flashable and see how it goes then.

i had this issue on my gs3 , try to move the odin md5 rom file and the odin folder to C: or my documents . maybe one of those directories where u have them right now are too large (odin has issues with long directories)
i was having reception problems, thought maybe if i flashed the modem file and NON-HLOS file it would fix it. but now i got no sound, also made a backup, restored backup no change. So what i did was flash to stock 4.3 touchwiz got sound. then i realized i could not root this. so what i did was did some research and follow this. so now im back on GE 4.2.2 and still i have no sound!!!!!!! but i had with 4.2.2 touchwiz help please help please.
Last night i flashed back to stock 4.2.2 and reset my flash counter to get the bell update to 4.3.
All went well with the update. Untill i started playing.... Removed too many bloats... Wanted to start again...
FORGETTING that ATT users and others have been unable to flash back to 4.2.2 after installing 4.3
Trying to ODIN back to 4.2.2 was a mistake, it flashes the bootloaders, then fails at the kernel...
Phone stuck without the 4.3 odin file.... (not posted on sammobile or samsung-updates yet)
Long story short, we are able to flash back to 4.2.2 by flashing I337MUMUAMI1_I337MUWAAMI1_CDR from the domnican republic, then rooting by cfautoroot, installing recovery thru rom manager, then flashing a custom rom/restoring backup.
KNOX warning at bootscreen!!!!
Waiting for odin flashable file of bell 4.3 to be proper again.
Link to Dominican republic 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/device/?i...axy_S_4_Canada
WARNING!!!! Microphone and wifi no longer work without proper modems.
fixed it, seems like all you have to do is download the old modem files.

I gave my wife my GS4 which I had on CM11 and she did not like it as it is constantly dropping her data connection and stopping her texts from sending receiving. I downgraded to CM10.2 and still the same issue. She absolutely hates it, so I am now looking to revert the phone back to 100% original form with stock firmware and ROM.
Is there a guide on XDA for how to do this on an AT&T GS4? I know that I will have to do this through ODIN, but want to make sure that I do everything precisely so that the phone doesn't get bricked.
Can I download the stock MDL ROM from here: sammobile. com/firmwares/3/?download=14623 and just install with supplied instructions via ODIN and be back to stock? Will those go ahead and overwrite CWM bootloader and all of that at the same time?
The phone still has the MDL baseband on it if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can d/l the stock mdl rom from sammy and yes it will erase Cwm recovery and replave with stock....after you flash the stock mdl rom be sure to root and freeze the update apps....

Thanks for the confirmation. Just reverted back and she is already much happier with the stock ROM. Thanks again.
Hey all, I need some help trying to troubleshoot what went wrong. Note between every flash I did clear cache and full formats of the whole phone.
I was on SACS 4.3 ROM, MK2 and already had CWM recovery
I ODINed the NAE modem, it stuck - my baseband and software say L720VPUFNAE
I flashed SACS 4.4.2 ROM, it went well booted up and setup, but could not provision the network (I had wifi)
I reflashed SACS 4.4 a couple times, same problems. Tried AOKP 4.4, glitchy and froze a lot.
Flashed stock NAE from sprint, installed, but stuck on provisioning again. I checked and it didn't show I had NAE, it showed my baseband and software was UNKNOWN.
Flashed back to SACS 4.3 and everything works well again. Still shows NAE as the baseband and whatnot.
I would have thought I had a bad modem flash, but everything works and shows NAE. What is the issue?
Have you tried a complete ODIN of NAE firmware?

go to the Phone dial pad and punch in ##786# to pull up the RTN screen, It'll show you more accurate info on than what your Baseband and Software ect. The first time I flashed Sacs 4.4 V1 I flashed it using Phils 6.0.4.7, had the same problem. got it to flash flawlessly using the same process, but using Philz 6.0.4.6. just to be sure that was the issue i repeated process using 6.0.4.7, same problem, wouldnt provision network, just wifi, everything said unknown. couldnt make it work using 6.0.4.7. Tried again using 6.0.4.6, and again everything worked perfect ALSO try flashing the stock NAE.tar.md5 first, then Sacs 4.4 v2. Ive read that worked for many, Your problem is most likey CWM. flash Philz 6.0.4.6 then re try, let me know how it goes

If you were on MJA/MK2 bootloader you CANNOT Odin to anything before that - MF9 etc.
You'll need to PC Odin MK2 full tar to get back to stock. That tar is here.
For the others if you have a MK2 or NAE bootloader why not flash the full .tar of either one (MK2 or NAE) - both are available here. Full .tar will restore baseband and ALL partitions.
The for both the above root via CF-Autoroot, install recovery via PC Odin or goomanager - I'd go with Philz via PC Odin.
Then install what ever you want following the developer's instructions.

No, download the full tar file from Random45's thread in the android development thread. His has great download speed.

Go back and follow the instructions exactly: Here they are so thanks them and i'll take one too:
thanks goes to travisw0204 and GhostTac for this
This is a step by step instruction guide for those having issues flashing this ROM using a MF9 Bootloader and wanting to keep their bootloader Knox free. This should only be attempted if you have tried the first install option multiple times and are following the instructions completely (unless you are already rooted) and are getting hung up at the Sprint Splash screen. Read these instructions carefully and all the way through BEFORE you do this processes and make sure you are not cutting corners.
1. You need to be on MF9 bootloader
2. You need to flash a stock MDC .tar file. Once downloaded you have to extract the .tar file using 7zipper or a program similar. I got mine from RWilco's site found here..
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.ph...9/Stock ROMs
3. Once you have the stock .tar file you can then boot to download mode to prepare for Odin. Power down completely. Then press and hold Power + Vol down. You will see a warning page and then press vol up to get to download mode.*
4. Now plug your phone into your computer and open *Odin. I use 1.85 but some may use a later version. They all work.
5. Once connected to Odin the box in the middle to upper left should be yellow to let you know your phone is connected.*
6. Now click on PDA and find the .tar file for the stock rom that was obtained from rwilco's site. Hit start and let it run its course.*
7. Once Odin says Pass, the phone will reboot and you WILL get a yellow Sprint screen and nothing else. Don’t freak out. Press and hold the Power button and reboot the phone. Then press and hold power + vol up to boot into the stock recovery. From there do a factory reset and then the phone will boot up.*
8. Once fully booted you will have a small OTA update followed by the MF9 OTA update. This is the last OTA you should take.*
9. Once you go through those 2 updates you can then root using cf auto root through Odin (do the steps to get to download mode from above). Let it do its thing and the phone will reboot.*
10. Once you're booted up check to make sure you're rooted by looking for the super SU app in the app drawer.*
11. Now it's time for your custom recovery. Go back into download mode as mentioned above, plug the phone into the computer and open Odin once again to flash the CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery.*
12. Let the phone boot back up after the recovery flash.*
13. Now power down fully again and boot back into download mode.
14. Flash the mk2 modem found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2338919) through Odin and boot back up.*
15. Go to Settings and About Device and make sure the baseband and version both match and end with mk2.
16. Now power down again and boot back into download mode. At this point it's time to flash the NAE modem to get you ready for Kit Kat. That modem also can be found at the above link for Unknown or in the OP in this thread.
17. Once you flash the modem through Odin follow Sacs instructions on how to flash the 4.4.2 rom.
It sounds like a lot but really isn't and it will assure you that you're starting with a clean slate and a Knox free bootloader.*
*You can use PDA for all your .tar files for this process in Odin or AP for later Odin programs.*
**This process will also work for those on MJA and MK2 bootloaders with Knox. You can follow the same steps but instead of going back to MDC you have to go to MJA and work up from there. There will only be one OTA update taken and that's from MJA to MK2. Once on MK2 follow Sacs instructions on how to flash the rom and you'll be good to go.
Thanks go out to Unknown and rwilco for their hard work and dedication

What modem/baseband are you on?
[Q] Flash Stock Rooted NAE, now Baseband & Software Version are unknown. Need Help.
So I flashed Unknownforce's Stock Rooted NAE Rom, now my Baseband version, Software version, IMEI number, etc. are all unknown. I've tried using odin to flash the NAE Firmware again, and no luck yet. I tried to do some googling and didn't find anything. Any and all help is much appreciated.

Try going to the app store and get a program called device info and it will answer all your questions. Also not sure what you flashed but you flash the modem then you install the stock rom from Philz or CWM as in the instructions. Hope this helps...

Some phones don't like the NAE firmware for some reason. (Mine is one of them) I would try flashing the MF9 firmware via ODIN with auto reboot unchecked. Make sure you turn off your phone, then boot into download mode. Don't restart directly to Download mode. After flash pull battery, then boot back into download mode and flash again. Then start regularly and see if your baseband and software are MF9.
I am running an NAE rom (Negalite Wonderom) with MF9 firmware. Runs great!

It's weird, I have the exact same problem as the OP no matter what I do on stock NAE, but on a custom NAE such as Sac's or Nega's everything works. I'm gonna flash stock nae and see if odin'ing MF9 firmware will work (I'm also on MF9 bootloader).
