really need help. think I really did it

So I tried alot of ways to root my samsung galaxy s4 I337. After multiple attempts I got it to root. With the program called: kingo android root
I wanted to put cm10 on here but I needed a custom recovery i tried odin to put twrp on and It kept on failing giving me errors over and over.
so I found a program called: casual that did a root and custom recovery.
well after that it said reboot. So It did and then It got to odin downloading saying error cant normal boot.
I cant restore my phone, get into recovery, the only way I can get on my phone is if I press power down and the home button. Then it boots up.i want it to be fixed without going through all this haggle.
is there anyway besides kies cuz that aint working to fix my phone.
I check root checker basic and I am no longer rooted.
like I said odin is not working for my phone for whatever reason.
maybe if I wait for 4.3 on the 13th and do the ota update will that help.
im so lost please help me someone.

Need to know what firmware you're on. Mf3? Most likely

This might work, but it will delete everything on your phone and reset it. I hope this works :fingers-crossed:
Follow these steps (On your own risk):
1) get on your phone
2) Make sure you have unknown sources enabled (Settings--More--Security--Unknown Sources)
3) install Safestrap 3.62 (download given below)
4) Open app and click "Install Recovery"
5) then press "Reboot to Recovery"
6) It should boot into Safestrap, if not then turn off your phone and the boot it up as you would to use it and then click the menu button on the phone.
7) Then click Wipe
8) Swipe to Factory Reset
9) Reboot
10) Enjoy!

You are most probably on MF3, therefore you cannot install TWRP or CWM recoveries. You can only use Safestrap as of right now.

firmware 4.2.2. originally. but after doing whatever I did and connecting to kies it says: Current Firmware version: PDA:MF3 / PHONE:MF3 / CSC:MF3 (ATT)

You can't install Cyanogenmod. Read through the Safestrap thread and the Q/A thread to see what works.

You can't. On MF3 you cannot run AOSP/AOKP/CM/MIUI based roms. Only custom TW.

Thanks guys,
This means a lot with the help. Now if I can get the WiFi to work on the hyperdrive rom. I'll be good as gold tell y'all what from. Going from a jailbreak iOS themer to android rooting user. It's very different and a lot of looking into and reading.
Now back into looking to get this WiFi to work. Just wanted to say thanks

Did you flash the ATT compatibility package zip that you should have downloaded along side of the Hyperdrive rom ,after those two zips did you flash the MF3 kernel module zip.
I use the Hyperdrive rom now and don't have any issues

When you downloaded the rom it is in the same page. You need the compatibility package and the MF3 kernel module on Safestrap for it to work right.go back to the Hyperdrive thread and search for it

here is my issue now.
I rooted with kinggo android root. Then for custom recover I have Safestrap. I rooted to see what all i could do but after trying different Roms I have noticed I don't care. Much for it.
I unrooted via the kinggo app. And verified with root checker.
But i want to go back to full stock. I noticed Safestrap is still there running in background. But the custom logo is gone.
I just want to go back to stock and have nothing to do with root.
I used the code to remove safestrap. and used kingo to unroot. but when I get the offical files for odin and try to push them into my phone. yes I am in download mode when I enter download mode i get:
odin mode
product name: SGH - 1337
current binary: Samsung official
system status: official

when I enter odin put thi the tar file for 4.2.2 I get a pass then a fail. the message log says: <ID:0/003> File analysis..

[Q] Canadian i9505 no sound, wifi, calls

Let me start off with I'm an idiot. Now that that's over with let me explain what I did to end up here and what I've tried to do to fix it, to no avail of course.
I was running Android 4.3 rooted with cf-autoroot. My software was messing up and with the news that kitkat was available I wanted to unroot and upgrade.
Using a guide I found online I flashed a version of 4.2.2 android. the file name was I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC.zip
Of course when it finished I had the no sound, no wifi problem because i reverted back to the wrong android system.
I then using twrp flashed VANIR and got wifi but still no sound/calls.
As per other threads I tried flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU with ODIN but every time i would get the error:
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
The only somewhat success I had was i was able to flash RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040 using ODIN 1.85 which is a 4.3 version but still no wifi/sound/calls.
Other files i have tried to flash are GSM_Modem_XXUFNA5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUFNA5(under phone), I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX_FREE-ODEX-FULL and even tried a pit file: CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit
Everytime i get Complete(Write) operation failed.
I've put CWM on but still no luck. I need suggestions or a fix please and thank you.

1. Be sure ur phone is SGH-i337 or SGH-i337M. Take the battery off and take a look the label pls for avoid problems :highfive:
2. Wipe all and flash the latest FIRMWARE android 4.4.2 for ur phone (if is SGH-i337M) through ODIN.
3. When u finish, tell me how it worked. Hi5

Downloading now. It is SGH-i337M. Is it normal to be getting (<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.) errors when flashing with ODIN?

You shouldn't need to root before installing a custom recovery. I never have done on Samsung devices.

Yeah it doesn't matter what one you do first.

Is this a joke? I thought custom recovery was not possible on the S5.
Maybe my statement is only true for Vz.

Hi there.
I'm still fairly new to this whole android world (flashing, rooting,...), so I already apologize in advance for any odd questions from my side, or should any of them sound a bit silly So I was wondering the following: I had Philz Touch Recovery on my previous phone (I9300), and had no issues with it or whatsoever. I've been flashing the Lollipop updated successfully and keeping my device up to date. Which was also the reason why I decided to go with the same recovery on my newer phone model (SM-G900F), which I acquired a couple of days ago. I've done 2 backups already (the so called "nandroid" backup and the backup of the first rom version I flashed).
However...when I was checking out the folder files on my SD card later on I realized that the date stated on those folders is not correct To give an example...my latest backup folders got named "2014-01-26.09.06.40_cm_klte-userdebug_5.1.1_LMY48W" So I was now wondering: does the date on those folders have anything to do here, also can I come across any issue while trying to restore to those backups later on (in case anything goes wrong in any of the future releases)? Due to the wrong stated date on those folders I mean...
Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I just got a second hand SM-G00F a few days ago. I succesfully rooted it, installed the XtreStoLite INTL 2.2 rom it as per the installation guide in that thread. I was able to get into TWRP as normal.
However, today I saw that there was an update in the rom thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63522473&postcount=13226) with links to a 2.3 version, updated bootloader and modem files. After flashing the updated bootloader file with ODIN, i can no longer access TWRP (reactivation lock). I only flashed the bootloader/modem file, not the 2.3 rom. All via ODIN.
I then rebooted into download mode, and flashed the BL and modem files that was in the 2.2 thread again and the phone booted normally. But still, I can' t go into recovery anymore. Flashing anything besides bl or modem via odin seems to be impossible... I always get
Code:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
On the phone screen in download mode, it says reactivation lock: on, know warranty void 0x1. After trying to flash, the line "secure check fail: recovery" is added.
From reading around, I gather the problem could well be with the previous owner having enabled the samsung reactivation lock function. But how can I untick this function since i can't find it in the current rom? And because of the nand write errors, I can't seem to flash to stock rom at the moment. Would that be a problem flashing a PIT file might fix? I've been trying and looking around for sollutions, but I can't seem to find what to do now...

What about if this happens and I'm in a bootloop?
Offica said:

So if I'm looping when I boot up, and obviously can't get to the settings in order to enable USB debugging, how can I "untick" it from stock recovery or Odin mode? ADB will not recognize the device, and I can't flash any custom recovery because of the auth fail secuirty check message. I know it's got to be Knox because in download mode it says "Reactivation Lock(KK)n." It's Android system recovery <3e> LRX21T.G900PVPU3OK4. I have Ubuntu-Mate 15.10, and Windows 10 dual boot operating systems, so any help from the command line or terminal commands/shell commands would be loads of help if anyone out there could help me out. I'm totally fine with resetting the device completely, not just factory wipe/reset, but the big one that deletes all the partitions and everything if it'll do the trick. I can reflash the firmware at that point from Odin or Heimdall, if I could just get past the reactivation lock.

Can you get download mode. If so flash first stock rom for your device/carrier... Then turn off in settings.. I've seen issue/mistake like this before ...there's a few guides ...search on Google. For more ....

[Q] S5 SM_G900F lollipopXXU1BNL9 TWRP install fail

Please help!!!!
I have a SM-G900F S5.
Just updated to XXU1BNL9 Lollipop.
Not clean install, I upgraded it. All official releases from Sammobile, done with Odin 3.09.
Upgrade went all ok, fine, up & running.
Tried to install TWRP 2.8.4.0, also with Odin 3.09
10/10 times it fails with write error.
Any ideas???
Would like to root my phone, so this first step would be really necessary!
Thx!

I fixed Odin fail with a pit file...
Download pit fie for your device...
Open Odin... Flash firmware
When Odin fail... Unplug cable... Plug it back... Uncheck that box with pda (and leave it there) ... Load pit file... And hit start even if the error is still there... After U hit start button It should finish and auto reboot
I USED THIS METHOD JUST FOR FIRMWARE FAIL... I DON'T KNOW IT WILL WORK WITH CWM FAIL in Odin
Also... You should try to download again twrp... Or another source... Version... Etc im sure that the error it's because of the cwm file

Thx for the ideas, I will try them.
I tried to unplug-replug cable, download other TWRP, also from different sources.
Seems as if it was some writing authentication issue of some kind - but no idea, why.

I tried everything else expect the pit file.
I did not find a pit file for the XXU1BNL9 version.
Also, I did not find ClockworkMod for Lollipop, only for 4.4.x
So, I triedTWRP 2.8.1.0 and 2.8.4.0 - both ending the same way: The recover flashing starts with Odin, and then it is almost immadiately fails with some write problem. It seems as if the recovery tar.md5 is not compatibl with the ROM version, or as if some mysterious Samsung protection would reject the recovery flash.
Strange thing is, that all forums (e.g. droidviews, ibtimes, xda, etc.) give a description about rooting this ROM, and not even one mentiones any phenomenon like this.

can't install custom rom/some recoveries/stock lolipop(sm-n900)

hello all,
First of all, sorry about my english, if something isn't clear just tell me.
Device : sm-n900
OS : 4.4.2
For various days I tried to install a custom rom, and when it showed no success I tried anothers.
After that I tried to install the russian Lolipop stock rom(odin) just to try to get some results, but with no success as well.
While trying I didn't manage to install recoveries other than CWM.
All I can "install" are the 4.4.2 stock rom, CWM(and root), restore backup of the 4.4.2.
I assume that there is a connection between the inability to install the other recoveries, Lolipop stock and the custom roms, but I couldn't find it.
This post(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613169) showed me some possible direction, but still not a full one(philiz doesn't work and cwm does and after other recoveries flashing there is no recovery to go to until I flash CWM again).
Thanks in regard for any help .

What kind of errors are you getting with roms. How do you install the recoverys. Do you flash the correct modem and bootloader?

When trying with CWM there is no errors in the script, after "installing" nothing happen(I should see something called aroma installer if I got it right) and the phone get into boot loop.
For CWM I used Odin(worked)
TWRP(app, odin, by CWM recovery - no success in any method)
Philiz(by CWM - no success)
Basicly, I didn't saw in guides to flash bl and modem seperatly. In some experiments I tried to flash BL(I am pretty sure the correct one - In download mode and in the setting>>about phone, I saw the difference).

OK I use twrp recovery. When selecting the twrp from there home page be sure to select the correct one as they got a few versions and only one of them will work with odin. The bootloader is a must if you want lollipop builds and without that you will end up in bootloops. If you got Cwm then just stick with that.
Try flashing hyperdrive rom and see if it works. Hyperdrive is kitkat. It's a very stable rom and it works perfectly for me.

Is there Hyperdriveis for sm-n900 too?¿ I found this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709867) and it's for n900t or for versions of n9005.
And about TWRP, you mean that there is the tar file which I can flash via odin. Does it matter which version, because there was something confusing in the home page("TWRP Install (Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed)" - contradiction )

Just flash the latest tar file. No need to have a previous version of twrp on the phone.
Just make sure that the version you flash matches your phone.

You said you can flash cwm. Flash cwm through odin. Then find flashable twrp and flash it thru cwm.
Or you can use terminal emulator to flash twrp. You can find the instructions in twrp page as well.

Tried thru CWM but it said installation aborted.
Tried thru adb(in ubuntu) as usual stuck in recovery on the boot image.
In the terminal emulator nothing happen(I assume it is my mistake, because it didn't even gave response to the command)

EDIT : In one of the previous replies I wrote that I thought I changed the bootloader, but I mistaked it with the baseband(only maybe the bootloader too, I pretty sure yes), sorry about this confusion

Tried thru CWM but it said installation aborted.
Tried thru adb(in ubuntu) as usual stuck in recovery on the boot image.

btw I saw in photos/vidios that when they get into recovery mod, there is a messege like "recovery booting". I don't see one, is that part of the problem?¿

Seems legit.
First post you said you managed to install cwm. Now you can't?.

I still can, but I assume that there is connection between the inability to install the other recoveries and the custom rom, so trying change recovry can make progress too.
The question is what the difference between the CWM to other recoveries, that make it the only one to be able to be installed
