Argh...
I started with a rooted S4 SGH-I337 running 4.3. Was eating batteries with AT&T's OTA push failing every day so I decided to flash a new 4.2.2 ROM using "For MK2 Base Users (never took NB1 OTA)" instructions Here. After the reboot, the "Samsung Custom" splash stayed on for an hour until I rebooted manually. Now it remains stuck in the splash screen unless I boot into download mode.
I've tried flashing a new ROM and partition using these instructions and (I337MK2_Full_Odin_Tar.tar.md5) / (SGS-I337_16GB.pit) but have not seen any difference. Here is where I'm sitting now.
Kies doesn't see the phone at all.
Download screen:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-1337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSC-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE Enabled
After flashing, Download screen says:
Code:
Start (224, 1440)
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : Fused : 5, Binary : 4
and Odin says:
Code:
FAIL! (Auth)
Now it goes to a triangle/Oden download screen generally without going to the Samsung splash.
I've spent days reading threads and haven't found anything that seems helpful at this point. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions or links to a thread that may help?

If you are seeing this while flashing MK2, then you have a NB1 bootloader.

Good evening all,
Trying to recover back to 4.2.2 after a failed update to 4.3.
Kies is going through the normal download and recovery screens but fails, the GUI offers nothing on errors numbers or similar.
After a failed update / recover the phones displays;
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9506
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P0
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
UDC START
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [sbl1]Fused 1 > Binary 0
My usual Google Fu is failing me. Any ideas if I can stay within Samsung's walled garden and get back to 4.2.2 or up to 4.3?
Or will I have to flash / root / bootloader a new ROM on?
Cheers

You cant flash now android 4.2.2, you will have to flash android 4.3. But this "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [sbl1]Fused 1 > Binary 0" is what worry me

Thank you for the reply Joku!
Every attempt in Kies to update or upgrade fails, is this expected given the state of the phone?
What is so troublesome about "SW REV CHECK FAIL : [sbl1]Fused 1 > Binary 0" ?
Cheers

Go to sammobile website and download 4.3 firmware. I guess once u have 4.3 firmware you cant roll back to 4.2.2.

Hello everybody

firmware update encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.

In short, the video tells you to try again with Odin. What it doesn't tell you is to try a different USB port and don't use a hub. Also, the PIT file can be downloaded here in the forums, so please search for it.
I successfully installed Safestrap and it never really seemed to work (some ROMs would load and not everything on the phone worked, some ROMs just bootlooped etc.), so I just used stock.
I tried installing a rooted Lollipop stock ROM to a different safestrap partition, and when I restarted the phone Safestrap no longer started up. I could get into download mode and recovery mode (not TWRP/CWM just regular recovery), but the normal boot would show a screen saying "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone."
Since Safestrap was no longer loading, I tried flashing the stock jellybean kernel with ODIN, and is gave me a FAIL! (Auth) (Complete(Write) operation failed). I then tried repartitioning with the pit file, and it gave the same error.
It seems I can't flash with ODIN (I'm guessing because of Safestrap?) and for some reason Safestrap won't show up either. Any ideas?
Edit:
When trying to use ODIN, my phone displays:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH: I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNAEL LOCK: 0x0

You have to flash a higher version. The last line in the output indicates that the fuse count of the bootloader on the phone is 5 vs the one you are flashing is 4

According to your post, you phone has rooted in the past and knox counter was tripped one time (either could be caused by the flashing to the lower bootloader or installing the custom recovery).
The phone has locked bootloader as such you can not install custom recoveries like CWM or TWRP. To flash the zip rom you are stuck with either safestrap or flashfire.
To unbrick your phone, go here , get the files and follow the step to install the NB1 firmware.
Maybe this thread will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
I was trying to reflash back to stock and guess I've flash the firmware of an wrong model or something.
Now it shows me only a black screen after the Samsung logo. I can boot into recovery however there is no display (I can see the MTP enabled on my computer).
Also, I've tried to reflash other versions from my own region, Odin mode refuses to flash them.
Odin mode reads:
Code:
PRODUCT NAME: SM-J730G
Current Binary: Custom (0xd)
FRP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID (0x030c)
RP SWREV B:-1 K:3 S:4
Trying to flash from J730GUBSACTC5 J730GZTOACTC1:
Code:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: -1, BINARY: 10
Which bootloader is compatible with binary -1 anyway? Please help.
I have the same, any update?

Nope, my screen is fake/replacement and samsung's bootloader cannot be downgraded. What a load of bull.
I'm guessing 0xc or 0xd is the bootloader version so I'll try finding a firmware that has this. If this is a screen problem then this device is p much toast since I'll not be replacing it again.
