I recently rooted my S4, everything seemed like it was working just fine. Here is where it all fell apart.
1) I chose to reboot into recovery mode from the Goomanager
2) Phone rebooted into Odin Mode
3) Cannot boot regularly and nothing I have tried can get me out of Odin Mode.
I used Kingo android root to root my phone.
Im dieing please help me
You can't put on a custom recovery on mk2. You're going to have to Odin the mk2 tar file to recover your device

HI everyone. I think i accidentally installed the wrong firmware on my att sgh-i337 GS4. I'm not positive but that's what I think will happen. Appears that it is not rooted as I ODIN keeps failing. Also wireless does not work so I cannot get any internet connection to work. I just want to get back to ANYTHING usable. KIES does not see my device. Please help me get back to anything. I was trying to help a friend with his phone and ended up in this state so I want to get it back to him working in anyway. I've done a few of these and never had this much trouble. Help please. Thanks.
Just flash the correct firmware in Odin. Do you know what firmware version the device was on?

Awesome! Fixed! Thank you a million. Now, what's the proper way to root this device at this point? I spent at least an hour reading about how to root the sgh-i337 with 4.4.2 which it appears this phone is now running. I don't want to go through that mess again. If you could provide me this step now I would really appreciate it. Again, can't thank you enough.

Okay I will try that again. I did use that first last time and it would appear rooted based on the root checker app then I would reboot and it would say it's not rooted. Additionally things that required root said the phone wasn't rooted.

I know I"m killing you here but i'm treading lightly based on my last experience. The NC1 update I found is only 20mb. Not a full build obviously. The thread says this:
"irst you need to odin back to stock NB1, and then flash the NC1 update in stock recovery.
NC1 update zip can be found here.

Not sure how to do that at htis point. Thanks.

Hi, i accidentaly deleted my Hiddenmenu.apk trying to manually debloat it what can i do to get it back and getting it to work the way it supposed to be?.

Rooted, Unlocked

Must have been a hell of an accident. You can either hope someone will up load a copy of the apk and install it. Or, Odin and start all over.
Next time use titanium backup and just freeze the apk's until you're sure they aren't needed.
