Bought an ATT Gakaxy S4 today and I already managed to brick it by screwing up and installing TWRP...
Before the brick, it was on the NC1 Baseband (I updated it from NB1 to use towelroot).
I've hand no luck with Kies... And Odis has been a failure all around (see attached screenshot).
Currently, I can either boot it in ODIS mode or if I try to boot it straight up, I get the infamous yellow traingle "Firmware update failed" screen.
I dowloaded the PDA (.md5) file from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784246
The ODIS Text on the phone reads:
(black text is white on the screen)
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR]
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY LOCK: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30
[COLOR="Gray"]WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"]START [224,1440]
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 5 , Binary : 1[/COLOR]
I imagine ODIS is my only hope... What am I doing wrong? Suggested file download?
(I hope I don't have a $22/mo paperweight).
Not sure if this matters... but on one of my linux rigs, in ODIS mode, it shows up as an SII, not an S4 (lsusb).
You are flashing MDL firmware. Search for the NB1 firmware in the all things at&t thread. You will be able to recover your phone

Hi guys. I'm having some problems with my Note 4. I previously have rooted the phone, but tried to use SuperSU to unroot it. I was getting errors loading some apps telling me that phone was still rooted so I attempted to do a factory reset on the phone. Somewhere along the road I appear to have messed up the firmware.
Basically, when powered on my phone states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." If I open the recovery menu on my phone (power+home+vol. down) it says
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N910F
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 (4)
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
AP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START
I have tried using Kies (both versions) which say that my phone is not recognised in the emergency firmware recovery options, and the firmware upgrade option fails.
I have also tried using Odin using firmware N910FXXU1COJ3_N910FO2U1COJ1_O2U and N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FO2U1BOC1_O2U.
I am totally stuck for ideas. Is my phone bricked?
Unfortunately I can't upload screen shots due to my account status.

Do you use Stock Kernel or custom Kernel?

I'm not sure. I assume stock.

Judging for your answer I assume that you are kinda "new" to this ROOT & flashing ROM stuff?
Am I correct?
If you are "new" to this stuff....I suggest you read & re-read everything before "plunging deep into the abyss"
Now the answer,
ROOT & Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop Kernel is a NO GO!
By updating your KitKat 4.4.4/Lollipop 5.0.1 into Lollipop 5.1.1 (BTW COJ stock update IS Lollipop 5.1.1) will remove your ROOT access.
Re-ROOTing it will cause a bootloop....IF you didn't change your kernel into a "Permissive" one.
Try flashing a custom permissive kernel if you are going to keep ROOTed.
It'll fix your problem.
Download ODIN, then go to samfirmware and download some software for your phone. Use Odin to flash whatever firmware back onto your phone and start again.
Got a FreedomPOP SPH-L720, but it had issues with power cycling on boot.
During this, I activated TWRP 2.7.1.0 and "fixed permissions" and "factory reset"
Then made the mistake of "Formatting" after which the phone would reach the splash screen and go no further.
Attempted to resolve with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134
Wound up with:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 8X8
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 8X1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 8X30
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMNC BURST MODE: enabled
With the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
However, all versions of Kies I tried were unable to connect.
Also, one of the message outputs upon entering TWRP was "SEANDROID RECOVERY NOT ENABLED"
You probably need to find the stock rom for your carrier and Odin that.
Using katodragon's OK3 ROM, and everything's fine now
Please Help me I don't Know the right FIRMWARE For this device. Here's an Information that I saw in my device. I'm really Confused what ROM to download. I used Safestrap App and Wipe My Device and It turns out Stuck at Samsung Logo with a picture of Padlock (that is Unlocked) and below the padlock it says "Custom". All I Can do is to go to DOWNLOAD MODE. I hope someone can Help or Give me Information. TIA
1.) When I try to update the software, my screen goes to AT&T Update screen, So I think it's an AT&T Device.
2.) When I go to DOWNLOAD MODE, Here's what I see:
Odin Mode.
SGH-I337
Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write protection: enable
eMMC burst mode enabled
3.) Please See these Attachment Pictures (I use Sammobile App to Identify my device Info.)
Your device is what download mode says.
The pad lock screen is only on the AT&T s4 which is the sgh-i337. The phone has a locked bootloader and can only run custom ROMs that can be flashed using safestrap. You will need to re-flash the stock firmware.

Hi all,
Please bear with me, I'm in way over my head here and don't understand most of what I've done. I was experimenting when I probably shouldn't have been.
So, I installed DarkLord's Note 7 kernel and rom. I found it to be quite buggy and am now wanting to wipe my phone and install Phronesis-N9005-N7-v6.0.
Problem is, when trying to boot into TWRP, I'm met with the the following:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SM-N9005
Current binary: Custom
System status: Official
Reactivation lock(kk): Off
Knox Kernel lock: 0x0
Knox warranty void: 0x1
Qualcomm secureboot: Enable (csb)
Rp swrev: S2, T2, R2, A3, P3
Write protection: Enable
UDC start
Downloading...
Do not turn off target
I've had it on for hours and it didn't do anything.
I managed to reboot it and it ran as it did before, in Darklords rom.
I read I have to install the official firmware and install it via Odin but I can't find anything about my device. On the back of it, it says:
SM N9005
FCC ID - A3LSMN9005
SNN - N9005GSMH
When I enter it into sammobile, nothing comes up.
Have I got this wrong? Should I be looking for something else?
You are booting to download mode not recovery .
Boot to recovery TWRP
#N9005 model firmware are on sammobile etc.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/samsung-galaxy-note-3-sticky-roll-t3237249
Booting into recovery via TWRP manager just results in the same Odin screen for me
As for the firmware - I'm not really sure which region I should pick out of those. I just thought this was an international model, but then I downloaded an app called Phone INFO and it tells me it's Vietnam. Could this be because of the rom already on there? It does also say it's a Note 7, so I'm assuming it's incorrect.
TWRP manager
DO NOT USE just boot to recovery via the vol up home and power buttons as normal .
Copy Phronesis to ext sd card and flash as per instructions .
You have N9005 Pick your area /network where you are .
Phone Info can only go by what's on your phone and you flashed DarkLord's Note 7 firmware .
Booting via manager was a last resort. I was trying the usual way and it also resulting in the same thing.
Boot to download/ Odin mode flash stock rom .
Thanks JJEgan, I figured out how to use Odin3 and Odin mode, then install Phronesis. All is good now
Hallo,
I got a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) from a friend of mine. He did'nt know, what happens. The phone became very hot, made vibration-Noise and was not able to start it anymor.
I also tried to start the phone, but it got a boot-Loop.
So I thought to reflash the phone.
I am able to start the Download-Menü (Vol - + Power + HOME). The Recovery-Menü did not start finally. It hang.
So first I wanted to put an original Samsung-ROM to the Phone. But where can I get the right one?
On the sticker in under the accu is written:
Model: GT-I9505SSN: -I9505GSMH
When I start the Download-Modus and connect it with ODIN, I can read the following:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0KNOX WARRANTY LOCK: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enable
I searched this forum and the net, but I did'nt get a Firmware-Image, the I was able to flash finally with ODIN to the phone.
I start ODIN with ADMIN-Rights and the KIES-App is deletet from the processes. The Samsung-USB-drivers are installed and the phone was found in ODIN.
Could anybody of You give me a way-sign where I have to read the solution of the problem? Or could anybody of you explain the process of flashing?
THanks a lot for your help.
with best regards

Sammobile.com for the firmware. Unzip the firmware, select "AP" in Odin, and point to the extracted tar.gz image. Odin should then flash the image.
