Odin the current firmware that you are on. Do you know what it is? Go into settings, about phone and look for your baseband. What are the last three characters?

Are you on att? Or do you have an i337m? The mk2 firmware on that link isn't going to work for you.

I337 is the AT&T, but since you said MG1 and that firmware never existed for us it's I337m (Canadian like you said). In any case, go to sammobile.com and you should be able to find your firmware.

So I guess go to sammob find firmware and then follow the link posted above

You might have to odin the firmware a couple of times. I usually odin the first time, reset the CSC code back to what ever carrier you are using, then odin again and then setup your accounts and such. If the new firmware has a new radio, it might take two times for it to grab.

Help. Tried installing CMW and now phone stuck in 'recovery booting...'

Hi All,
I tried installing CMW on my AT&T galaxy S4 and now the the device is stuck on boot showing 'recovery booting...'
I have tried holding down vol up + power + home key but issue still persists.
I followed the steps in this link: galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-install-cwm-recovery-on-att-or-verizon-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sch-i545/
Attached is a screenshot to further clarify: sdrv.ms/16drSEy
Only way to turn off device is to disconnect the battery.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
It's too late now but don't go to galaxys4root. Use xda. Do you know what firmware you were on? Was it mf3, etc?
If you were on MF3, you hosed it.

Definitely will not go to galaxys4root again. I do not think I was on MF3 but I am not sure.
The firmware was the same as when I first bought it on release date. Not sure if that helps.
Can I unbrick it with odin?
Unless you froze or deleted the files for OTA, it is impossible for you to still be on the same firmware from release. MF3 auto updates after 3 days of it being downloaded.

If you're not on mf3, yes. Do know if it ever updated itself after you got it.

I am not sure to be honest. I never activated the phone with at&t as I was wanting to install Cyanogen before activating it.
I have downloaded apps to it so it was connected via wifi.
By default would it auto update to mf3 via wifi and not connected to at&t yet?

Probably not. At this point out probably won't hurt to try to flash the mdl firmware with odin
Edit here is a link. You can get the mdl firmware at sammobile.com. the link has mdb firmware. I'd recommend downloading mdl and using it with the guide in the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40976805

As long as you never connected to AT&T cellular network, you are good to flash and attempt to fix it.

UPDATE: These steps worked and my phone is now operational again! Guess I do not have MF3 firmware.
Question, is how do I get cyanogenmod installed at this point? I followed this guide on cyanogenmod site: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflteatt
but got into trouble while trying to install ClockWorkMod.
Should I use the steps on cyanogenmod and request assistance for CWM OR is there a better method?
BTW, just want to say thanks to jd1639 and graydiggy. You guys know your stuff!
Thank you......

When you ran Odin did you 'run as administrator'?
Also re-download the file you were trying to flash and check the MD5sum. Then try again
Your using the wrong file ....you need mdc or mf9 file....and your using mga wich is not for the sprint version
Yeah didnt caught that damn. You could totally brick your phone with that file.

So to confirm, you're NOT using a Sprint SPH-L720 but instead an international I9505, correct?
And are you using the most current version of the stock tar or same that you last had on there?

Yeah, they should be but I think the 605s only has less LTE bands then 605. But im not sure, thank you anyways.
How to flash ? I download it and flash by ODIN twice both fail
video is actually long tap press issue, which exist in many many android devices caused by not properly calibrated or poor hardware it is not really related to new update
this file host is giving me issues. I've downloaded 893mb and now it has slowed to 10kb/s which i think will probably error out soon.
It doesn't tell me the size of the entire file, it just comes in as it downloads (does that make sense?). Maybe a checksum?
If anyone knows the actual size of the completed file, that would be useful.
don't flash this on a US p600.
with no odin pda for my model to flash back to stock, I now have updated the firmware, bootloader and recovery to the Korean p600 update. that killed my wifi unfortunately and possibly some other things I haven't noticed yet.
any ideas how to get the old firmware back?
edit: I'm downloading the Taiwan ML1 firmware. hopefully it'll flash correctly and work. I'll report back
edit 2: back in business after flashing ML1. whew. won't make this mistake again

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "

[Q] Help Please, stuck in odin mode and "software not recognized by AT&T "
So I got a new phone and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to learn how to do things on my own with my phones, Lucky me my new phone (Nexus 5) is way easier to root and do the fun stuff... but not my Galaxy S4
trying to odin back to stock I got stuck in Download mode and later i got a msg saying "Software not recognized by AT&T was found in your device" and on the top line in red said "Secure Fail: Kernel"
How can I flash the kernel and the new recovery ?
remember I am a Noob trying to learn, so go easy on me
What file were you trying to flash with odin? Do you have a link? Also, what firmware version was your phone on? The version you're trying to flash in Odin had to be at least as new as what your phone was on.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
The boot loader is locked. This means that the stock recovery and kernel cannot be replaced. Also, you cannot Odin flash firmware that contains a boot loader with a lower version than the one you are currently running.

If it's running show I would flash the mdl firmware again without the pit file. Then root it with motochoper and put twrp on it. Then flash a custom rom.

The thing is that we are only allowed to flash touchwiz roms, go check out the alliance rom in the att section download it, but if your are in oc4 lollipop or any other version youll need flashfire by chainfire ( google around) subsribe to the beta test then download it. but if your on AO8 just flash a lower kernel I.E NK2 so as to as to get safestrap working

I also don't see the 4.4.2 rom but if you want to use the 5.0 rom just install it with safestrap then boot directly into download mode from safestrap and use odin to flash the VZW 5.0 OC4 (firmware only) be sure its firmware only and just let it boot.

Just try it. Works for me. I'm using T-mobile though.
get the firmware only file here >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
Flash the 5.0 rom from the At&t thread in Safestrap or Flashfire however you choose.
Boot Directly to download mode. (if using flashfire be sure to select reboot to download)
Flash the OC4 retail Firmware only using odin once it reboots unplug from computer and wait for the rom to boot.
1st boot will take a while. Thats it.
