[Q] Unknown Problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello I have an Att Samsung Galaxy s4 SGH-I337 running 4.3 Jellybean. I have had it rooted but something went wrong when trying to flash a custom rom. I got it stuck in download mode and it took me a while to get it out. I had to do several battery pulls when it finally booted I unrooted the phone and it works normal. Except when trying to install a new update it tries to reboot but goes into download mode. So i try to boot into recovery and can only get it into recovery mode. I have no idea what I have done and I have tried to use kies and odin to no success odin just gives me an error. thank you for your help

What error do you see with Odin? What file are you trying to flash?

I try to flash back to original firmware using sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and when I try to use odin it says

It appears that you are flashing the MDL firmware. I took is as your phone has MDL firmware.
I used to have MDL phone and it went to boot-loop due to my error in flashing a custom rom.
I used that MDL firmware to flash but it failed. So I used MDB files to flash and it went through. My phone booted as MDB phone. That was my experience with that MDL file.

thank you for your reply I had the MDB file as well and just tried again. It gave me the same error as before.

You started from 4.3 so you need to flash the same version. Use the MK2 ODIN files.

[Q] Rooted phone, tried to to QBKing hotspot now stuck in bootloop.

Hello everyone,
I used QBKing to root my phone then I tried to do the hotspot mod, and more then likely used the incorrect odex file and have tried 4 different sprint ROM's to reset the firmware with Odin but to no avail.

[Q] MDL to latest OTA update..THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Hours of searching and I can't find a similar problem.
I haven't done anything to my phone in many many months and to my knowledge I was still at the MDL level, rooted. Wife picked up the phone and allowed the update....downloaded 728 MB and rebooted.
Now it will only boot to the odin screen.
I have tried reflashing the MDL tar(still had it on my computer) using odin and it fails every time and the phone screen reads "SW REV. CHECK FAILED FUSED 2 BINARY 1" The ODIN screen reads:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

Is this because it had already flashed some level of the new software before rebooting and now it won't let me "revert" to MDL? Do I now need to flash a newer tar?

Yes, you will have to flash MF3 (or higher).

As @jaboo stated above your need to flash MF3 or higher... it's highly advisable to use MF3 opposed to MK2 if your planning on using custom rom's. Once you get MF3 immediately root it, block the 4.3 update with Titanium Backup, install Safestrap, and flash a custom TW-based 4.2.2 rom in either a custom slot, or stock if your feeling adventurous. Must suck having lost your MDL...
I suspected the "SW REV CHECK" was a giveaway and you guys nailed it! Downloaded and flashed the MF3 tars and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
Although now that I may be able to run ROMs again, I'll look into getting my old favorite back....PACMAN!

Can't flash any ROMs, Odin keeps showing Fail

I've successfully flashed many ROMs to the device before this.
I'm in download mode.
I've tried to flash:
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505BTUFNB3_BTU
I9505XXUEMJ5_I9505OXAEMJ5_DBT
... in ...
Odin3-v1.85, Odin3_v3.04, Odin3_v3.07, Odin3_v3.09
They all fail very quickly.
When I restart my phone without booting into download mode, I get the "Frmware upgrade encountered an issue." message.
Odin shows:

I've heard I may need to flash a PIT?

[Q] Help Galaxy S4 stuck in firmware upgrade....nothing works to fix

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and tried to update the ROM a few days ago. ODIN crashed before completing and I am now stuck in the yellow triangle screen with " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue....."
I downloaded the stock firmware from Samsung and when I try to install i get the following message:

Also the phone has a red message in the left corner: SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE:3 BINARY:2
I have also tried with to ODIN with a PIT file and looked at various forums and tried different things however nothing seems to work. Is there anything else i can do or is my phone busted?
Why flash a 4.3? It isn't possible.
Just pick the latest version available for you phone and flash that.
You want to downgrade and that isn't possible.
