Search for JOdin3. I would have posted the link, but because I'm new to this forum, I can't.

Ok thanks I'll look in to it

I tried using it but all I get is a blank page on jodin3?
I downloaded the heimdall rebioted but the page is still the same??
So much for macs being better.....

I tried it already doesn't help.
Having the same issue, tried Heimdall and jOdin, no luck.
No thinking of virtualbox + Win7 + Odin

What browser did you try, I was reading on jodin and it said to try with firefox (I used chrome)
Cant try it yet as I am reinstallin heimdall and going to give it a try.

Kies not recognizing tab

Ok, first off, yes, ive searched through general and development, but havent found anything that helped me to get it working. Ive downloaded the latest version of kies, set my tab to the original launcher, made sure debugging is off, and connected tab to computer, win7 64 bit. It scans for a few seconds then tells me my device is not supported? What do i need to do?

dont worry - the forums are getting bigger by the second and even i cant find the four other threads where ive answered this question
to connect to kies you must be using the stock launcher so
1. install homeswitcher
2. use it every time you want to connect to kies
problem solved, have a nice day
Did that, several times. No go. Still tells me device is unsupported? I also just installed kies on my laptop to see if maybe it was windows 7, but still wont work. Are there possibly some drivers im missing for it that need to be installed on computer?

hmmm... try reinstalling drivers through kies (its in the dropdown menu), restarting and repeating as in my original post
With or without tab connected? Guessing without since it doesnt recognize my tab.
Edit, still didnt work.

My bad, not asking anyone. Just updating my thread. I know there were a bunch of people having issues with kies. Just posting that kies sees my tab now that ive flashed a different firmware.

I guess that the current version of Kies does not support the north american firmware version yet...
Oh well... hopefully they'll release an update soon.
Did anyone get this to work with CDMA equipment?
jtc442, did I get you correctly:
Kies didn't recognize you T-mobile Tab and you then flashed with a Euro firmware and now it works + that Kies now thinks you have a GTP-1000 instead of a SGH-TXXX.
Do you know if Kies will work to do future updates?
Reason for asking is that I have a T-mobile model and I want to make it a GTP-1000.
Yes, that is exactly right. Before i flashed the euro rom, i would constantly get the device not recognized or whatever. As soon as i flashed i decided to check again, and it found it immediately. Im unsure about future updates though.

[Q] Messed up my phone, return to stock?

Hello XDA.
I have a:
Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M (IT'S EITHER A BELL/ROGERS PHONE)
BASEBAND VERSION: I1337MVLUAMDJ
KERNAL VERSION: 3.4.0-1529758 [email protected]#1
BUILD NUMBER: K0T49H.1337MVLUFNE1
The problem is, I had rooted my phone long time ago and wanted to recently unroot and update to the latest KitKat version (I was on jellybean). It would not let be update because it said the device was modified or something of that sort. I tried to unroot by following a tutorial online and flashing with a stock rom.
I did exactly as it says but now my phone is totally messed up. My Wifi no longer works, the apps keep crashing and nothing is working like its suppose too. I do not know what to do to fix this. How do I return my phone back to factory settings as if it is brand new? I have tried flashing stock roms 3 times new (3 different ones using ODIN) and nothing seems to work. I have tried samsung kies and it is still doing the same thing!
Please help.

You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip. Use 7-zip to extract a .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin

The websites downloads are very slow. I am currently downloading it and will attempt to flash it. The problem is, I believe I have already tried this and might have somehow messed something else up such as the kernel or something.
Do you know if this could be the case?

No, it would not be the case. Odin flashes the entire firmware, kernel and all. Sammobile is an official site for the firmware so if it doesn't work you might have a hardware issue. But wait for the download.

So when you try to slide to turn on Wi-Fi it just pops back to off? The other guy had an i337 which is different than yours. What worked for his isn't going to work for you

When I try to slide the WIFI tab, it slides back to off by itself. My phone is i337M and mine and his have a similar issue but different phone type. I flashed 4.4.2 with Odin.
I honestly believe that it's a problem with the kernel/modem. Do you know of a way to change EVERYTHING back to factory settings?
Odin flashes everything back to stock, like new. Try the mk6 version of the firmware.
Edit, what version of Odin ate you using?

Not sure what else to tell you. If Odin isn't working you may have a hardware issue. Odin should return engaguing to like new. The only thing I can think of is you have an issue with the emmc memory, which isn't good.

Have you tried using your own wifi (to make sure the problem comes from your phone and not from the 4G network) ? If the download works with your wifi but not with 4G, you can assume that your 4G provider is blocking p2p ports. Otherwise the problem probably comes from the configuration of your app.
Yes I have tried using my wifi and the same problem comes up I was able to download with wifi and without before rooting. It started right after I rooted the phone. I have tried different apps to download torrents with no success.

Use a system app uninstaller from the playstore (a red recyclebin logo app) and remove all knox related crap
if you dont want your knox warranty to trip.
If it has already tripped.. i.e. if you are running a custom recovery like cwm or philz
Then...let me see what xda has for you..
try this if you are running a custom recovery to deknox but read the thread first.

How did you root? Because if you have the sprint version, then you don't have an i9505 but an SPH-L720.
Yeah that it like I said I'm new at this and still learning but I don't remember what I used to root it..... sph-l720 is what I got.... been searching all over the place see if anyone has had this problem and haven't been able to find anything

Need a little help...

I accidentally messed around with my build.prop and mistyped something causing my phone to brick. So the problem atm is I can't even use my phone with messages popping up such as "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped working" and "Unfortunately the process Home has stopped working." I tried to factory resetting which didn't work at all. Right now I am trying to fix it through flash but I can't since when I plug my USB into my computer, I can't changed my USB settings to MTP and since the messages shown above keeps popping up preventing me from clicking anything on my screen. Any help would be appreciated!

.___.
It is a modernised recovery menu,with easier,touch controls.
Basically a MUST when flashing roms.
I guess you dont have that...
Now the only thing you can do is flash the stock rom again with the kdz or tot method.
DO NOT TRY RESTORING IT WITH LG PC SUITE!
It will brick your device,because it had been rooted(LG made that on purpose-"kill dem rooted phones")

And if your phone won't ,you either have no drivers,or have bad ones.

Rooting custom rom and recovery on a mac

Hi all
How are you?
I'm wondering as to whether I can root and install a recovery and custom rom on my galaxy s5 sm-g900i using a mac pc I've read about the installation of Heimdall though it appears to be incompatible with my mac El capitan osx.
If I could get some guidance it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that.
I have though unfortunately I'm unable to install this Heimdall which appears to be incompatible with my mac version El Capitan. I think that I'll head over to mums house and download Odin and attempt to install TWRP on a Windows PC.
Oh, yeah man. If all it takes for you is a drive and for you to use your moms computer, just do that. Far simpler IMHO.
Thanks will do, I'll close this thread, I need to ask a separate question in another thread now as I'm still slightly confused (though for a different issue).
