[Q] Bricked i337 -- URGENT - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi everyone,
I am new to android mods and such and I may very well sound like an idiot. However, even though I know little to nothing of what I am talking about I am in dire need of help. I never did any heavy modifications like custom ROMS but I merely rooted it and installed some tweaks via the xda installer. After toying around with one of the tweaks I seemed to cause an annoying random reboot which would happen when I would sometimes go to unlock my phone. Fine, I could deal with a few reboots here and there. However, my phone recently got stuck on the AT&T loading emblem and stood in my pocket for 2 hours draining a lot of battery and has not been resolved since. I am unable to enter safe mode and I tried a few guides to flash it to stock but I honestly have NO IDEA what I am doing. I am aimlessly following guides here but there is so much variability therefore I feel as if I would have the most success with personalized help.
What do I do? Please use simplified terms along with (relatively) full steps. For example, if I were to flash something I would go into recovery mode with home + vol up button factory reset, and the AT&T logo would still be there, frozen.
Things I have tried but have probably done wrong:
Factory reset
Install custom ROM
All and ANY help is appreciated at this point, I am desperate.
Thank you,
Suprr
Also, my ultimate goal is to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520418 this mod, or at the very least get the stock ROM working so my phone is usable.

I am assuming that you havent yet taken the OTA update to NB1 and your base is MK2. Or, do you have a MDB/MDL bootloader?
If MK2: You have to flash the full stock Mk2 firmware using odin. Download the "Full odin tar files" from the All things ATT thread
if MDB/MDL: Download the stock firmware from sammobile and flash using Odin.

He must have determined you are not on mdl/mdl firmware. Those firmwares would allow you to easily flash custom roms, nb1 is not as easy and limited to touch wiz based roms. Do you know if you had a custom recovery, twrp or cwm?

Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. That should get you past the bootloop
Ps, the first boot is going to take longer than normal. Give it a good 10 minutes

You're on mk2 firmware now. You'll need to root it using safe root and then put safestrap on in order to flash that rom. Look in the general forum for index, all thing mk2 and nb1. There's a lot of info there so read it carefully

Galaxy S4 Recovery mode not working

So, first, I'm running the stock 4.2.2 rooted on the ATT SGH-I337.
I installed ROM manager shortly after the root, and recently downloaded CM 10.1.3 for the att model of my phone. However, I couldn't find it in the recovery system to flash it. So, I install goomanager and flash over to TWRP, thinking maybe TWRP's easier interface will help me to find it. I reboot into recovery, and if I attempt to enter recovery mode, it gets stuck on the "Downlaoding, do not turn off target" screen. So, I re-flash CWM back on it, and reboot to recovery, and get stuck on that same screen again. If I just boot it, it's fine, jumps right back into 4.2.2 TouchWiz rooted. However, as you probably know, I can't install a ROM without recovery mode, and stock TouchWiz is poo.
I'd like to get CM running asap, although I'm just glad my phone still RUNS for now (my experience installing CM on my S3 was a NIGHTMARE).
So yea, any reason I would be getting stuck on that screen and unable to enter recovery? Like I said, I'd like to have CM as soon as I can.
Also, if someone can link me to a guide to install through CWM w\o needing a computer, that'd be wonderful. Thanks!
I'm assuming you're running on the MF3 build version. Read up before you brick your device. Your only option for a custom recovery is safestrap. Come on people.
Cheers.

You never saw twrp. You saw the stock recovery. Mf3 won't allow a custom recovery.
Edit, you did see an i337 in the you tube vids, but it had mdl or mdb firmware. You can put a custom recovery on with them. Unfortunately it's not possible to downgrade the firmware.

And also, I did, in fact, read past rooting, and found several people running CWM and TWRP fine, so I figured it would work. Now maybe they didn't have MF3,and I wasn't paying extremely close attention, but I'm pretty sure there were some on the same model and firmware as I am.

So, at this point, it's a waiting game for someone to find out how to put a recovery mode on an MF3 firmware, is what you're telling me?
Also, I may have been in stock. I don't remember EXACTLY what clockwork looked like. I just know it wouldn't let me select the gapps and CM files,which is why I tried TWRP. Though I did have CWM recovery flashed when I booted it into recovery those several times.
Dude you never booted CWM. That was MF3s stock recovery. MF3 does not allow any custom recovery but Safestrap.

Rooted, not updated in quite a while, what not?

So, I am still running MF9. I am rooted, and sporting a custom rom, albeit a fairly old one: Sacs_Custom 4.X with the included kernal. I want to flash a newer rom, especially since new bugs are starting to crop up. I know that newer ones are on MJA (right?) and are based on 4.3 or 4.4. So, assuming I have selected my Rom, can I simply factory reset and then flash the new rom? Or do I need to take factory updates after reset, then re-root the device to flash these newer roms?
Go get the MK2 modem without the bootloader from development section. Odin it and flash whatever ROM your heart desires

This seems very helpful, and I will tackle it as soon as my battery recharges. The one thing I want to be sure about first...I of course have TWRP recovery installed already. Flashing Philz without removing it (I assume Philz would overwrite it?) is fine, right?

You can flash Philz right through TWRP and vise versa. Flash, wipe cache and dalvik if you want. Reboot to recovery and it'll change.

It depends on if you want to keep mf9 as your bootloader and knox out of your hardware. If you want a little more flexibility in the long run, use the guide you linked to. If you don't care about your bootloader then follow the steps in this thread

Minor question, what's the difference between this and the super user that I had before that had like a superman triangle logo?

Throwing in the towel, I need help.

Hey all, I just acquired the SGH-I337 as an upgrade to my Galaxy S3. I can not for the life of me get a custom ROM running on it. My goal is SlimKAT because I like the ROM and have been using it on every phone since my Samsung Vibrant. Any time I'm flashing something in ODIN that has anything to do with ABOOT, it fails, soft bricks the device, and I have to reflash in ODIN all over again.
Please let me know what information I can provide to help with this. I've never had so much trouble with a phone before.

Please tell us the firmware of your phone (baseband, modem, etc..)
I337 has locked bootloader if your firmware is MF3 and above (MK2, NB1, NC1). You have to use the safestrap as a recovery if you want to flash the custom roms. If you want to flash SlimKAT you have to the SlimKAT safestrap version if they have one.
If he had to use Safestrap he can't use Slimkat as it's AOSP and he can't change the kernel. Chances are if he was getting issues flashing aboot then he's on a newer version. Confirm it in the about phone section of the settings though.

You can't go back to older bootloaders ever. Sounds like you are updated to something that you can't flash custom anything to. So safestrap is the only way to go with modded touchwiz based roms.

I was able to successfully unbrick the phone by using Odin to get it to MK2, although Wifi didn't work. Now I'm trying to get it back to the latest firmware so that I can sell it.
UPDATE!
Phone had been successfully reflashed to firmware NB1, with everything seemingly working. This phone seems so much more complicated than the S3 was, thanks locked bootloader.

[Q] can't flash recovery

OK. I'm trying to install cyanogen mod on my at&t gs4. I am new to root, obviously. I've been watching wwjoshdew do a 30 minute install video that seems to go really in depth but my problem lies with the custom recovery I installed, PhilZ. I installed extracted it and tried doing a manual recovery. I got the message software found on your system has not been authorized by at&t or something similar to that. I took out my battery and booted up into download mode and hit start device normally or whatever it says exactly. Then I tried using a flasher from the play store and same thing. I would like a fix to this (without Odin if possible). I am afraid to continue without help to avoid bricking my phone.
Thank you.
Hopefully I don't sound too stupid

My phone is bricked and need professional help

My device is on the factory ucuamdl bootloader and I was using SkyFall rom SF_UCUFNI1 for some time without any problems. I always use GoogyMax3 TW kernels flashing with Phliz touch recovery. A couple of day's ago I wanted to try a Ktoonsez 4.4 TW kernel and while flashing it the android guy with tools coming out appeared in recovery then I re-flashed Googy and rebooted the phone. When I try to get into recovery I only get a black screen and the battery keeps vibrating over and over. However I can get my device into download mode and tried flashing my factory AMDL using Odin 3.09 to try and reset everything. It say's that everything passed in green and reboots but Samsung's logo doesn't appear on screen with no os starting up, it's all in black showing nothing. However while in download mode it still reports that my system status is custom and binary is Samsung official. Can anyone please help because I'm at a lost with this.

That looks like it's for the s3 not the s4. It's never good to flash a kernel not for your device. I would try Odin again but flashing a kernel not for your device almost always bricks it. You'll probably have to check out mobiltechvidoes.com. They can jtag it.
