I am trying to sell my galaxy s4 on ebay, I have it rooted with towelroot on android 4.4.2, when I factory reset it goes to screen that "software running on phone not authorized by at&t". When I restart it, phone is same and not reset. Is there a way to factory reset it? Do I need stock recovery? I tried flashing CWM but didn't work because bootloader is locked. So did that mess it up and I need to flash stock recovery? Any help?

CWM does that since you can't use it on NB1. Use the NB1 ODIN files.

Used odin and now it's factory reset and unrooted. So it is safe to list it on ebay now?

I have a bell i337m galaxy s4. I installed a google edition rom. Now I need to sell my S4 so i need to go back to stock touchwiz. I can't find anything. I need the touchwiz rom. Please reply as soon as possible!
Grab the firmware for bell here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269304 and flash with Odin. You may find yourself in a boot loop after. To fix boot into recovery and factory reset
As you are rooted running custom recovery you most likely triggered the flash counter. To solve install triangle away and reset the counter before you boot into download mode and use Odin

I don't know what is wrong with my root either. Superuser is on here. When I go to an that needs root. It says I'm not rooted. Then superuser pops up a notification saying i need to update binary. When I press install I get an error
I rooted like 7 times today. Sti I get the same error

I have superuser but it says I'm not rooted. Should I use the i337m root or GT-I9505G root. Because when I boot it shows i337m. But model number shows up as GT-I9505G. I am so confused!

Download full firmware then flash with odin. But the last update for grand is 4.2.2, so why do you want to update?

Greetings all
I recently tried the root process that was developed by geohot (http://towelroot.com/) on my s4. It worked to get root and unlock the bootloader (I thought). When i tried to flash a custom recovery to it, it failed and now the phone won't even boot normally at all. Can still get to Odin but can't get to Recovery. When I tried to Odin the stock ROM to it, it fails immediately.
Got any ideas on things that I can try to do to fix it, or you think that it's hardbricked now?
You will be able to Odin flash the full NB1 firmware. The link is available in the all things at&t thread

Also, towelroot only roots. There still is no custom recovery, the bootloader is still locked

Hello.

thing is i want to know how to fix this....
i want to factory restore my phone so i can upgrade to kit kat...
the firmware version is a MK2
You need to get into Odin mode and then I'd flash the nb1 tar in Odin. Pull the battery, put it back in and then use the key combination to get into Odin mode.

EDIT: Sorted it, flashed TWRP in odin and it worked this time.
I have rooted my i9505 (5.0.1 stock Baseband i9505XXUHOD5) using CF-auto and Odin but I cant install a custom recovery. When I try in odin it says pass but then gets stuck in a loop at reboot. When i go to recovery its still stock and the only way out of the loop is to factory reset abd then try again. It looks like a Vodaphone Germany rom thats been unlocked installed. Any ideas please? I want a custom rom to get rid of the Samsung crap in the background.

As you have solved it,like this you open this thread for nothing
And also, CWM and Philz are outdated and out of support(only for this device), always use TWRP[emoji6]
