[Q] Galaxy S4 sgh-i337 Stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo

I was trying to install custom recovery on MF3 firmware, When I clear cache and all user data and hit restart from that time I am just stuck at galaxy S4 screen. Please help me guys.
You cannot flash a custom recovery on MF3. Your best bet to solve the problem is go to best buy and have them reflash MF3.

If you try to put a recovery on a phone with mf3 you'll Bork your recovery. The phone will only not into download mode. If you cancel download mode,vol down, some users have gotten the phone to boot. There currently is no fix for this, other than to get bestbuy or att to flash the mf3 firmware. The software they use is not currently available to the rest of us.

Galaxy S 4 SCH-R970X (C Spire) - Official 4.3 MK6 RESTORE

As many of you know 4.3 just released on the CSPIRE variant device. I have went through currently 2 phones because they messed up after messing around a bit with kies and "other things". It's like it doesn't want to read from the sim card anymore and refuses to program itself. So with that said here is the stock 4.3 Full restore from sammobile.com so you can hopefully either fix yours or take it to the store.
P.S. They cannot fix it
This will change the Samsung Software to : Official
As well as Recovery, etc, to Official

I got no sim inserted on a loop on my 2nd phone. It would try to activate then kick off and go to no signal and say no sim, then try all again. Go claim the warranty on it! Just as long as you use this file and odin it should go samsung official. They cant say nothing to you for their crappy programming. Because as far as im concerned im not touching it again, and gonna hope they come out with kit kat soon.
Cheers I will do thanks

Getting this thread bumped back to the top, people are looking for it. If anyone has any information as of why the CSpire variant keeps losing its cell data completely. Please help us get a fix going! Thanks
Anyone figure out a reason why the phone would forget the network and not activate??? Causing a useless phone.

Replacing My S4---ebay?

I got my ATT S4 wet and could not recover it so I am needing to get a used replacement on ebay. Will any "unlocked" S4 work on my ATT contract? My old S4 had MDB firmware when I purchased it so it was easy to use Custom ROMs and TWRP. With replacement phone I again want to use TWRP recovery and Flash ROMs. I keep seeing talk about how unlocked Verizon phone may or may not work with ATT and do not fully understand the differences in Carriers . Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
If it's sim unlocked it should work on at&t. But you'll probably not get a phone with mdb or mdl firmware and therefore will not be able to use twrp or cwm.

Thanks for reply. I know it going to about impossible to find MDB again. I have emailed each seller of a phone am looking at and no MDB or MDL yet. Hopefully I will find an XDA guy with old S4 at some point that has used Custom ROMs and still on MDB or MDL and he can ODIN back to old Stock.
Ron,
keep me in mind here or PM since mods may not let a buying thread go on long
I have an MDL S4 ATT 32gb, and obviously by my member info, rooted and with TWRP 2.5.0.2--the best recovery for us. Perfect condition and many xtras plus a 64gb Sammy sdcard.
I may, due to my son and his wife's pushing, get the iPhone 6 plus. Flashing is winding down for me and they want us all on the iPhone "ecosystem" (continuity). And time for a change.
Wasn't sure I was ready to part with the S4, too damn nice of a phone.
Since I am now subscribed to this thread I wil see your posts as long as thread is open. I need to do some quick decision making.

Try flashing a kernel on your phone. That's what fixed mine. I used a note 5 kernel on my note 3
Don't do that please you may brick your phone .

Same thing happened to me when flashed a stock 6.x rom. Got a quick fix using "All in one gestures" app.
Also a good time to flash to a good custom rom.
Stock 6 ???
No such firmware released .
