One thing you must understand is that your problem is not unique.. which means if you search you will find . My two cents, Make you have both the correct .PIT file and make sure you are selecting PDA when you flash the firmware or it will fail at the half way mark.
This will return your phone to stock nothing to enter just click

Im trying to put cyanogen mod on my GS4 but whenever i try and boot it into clockwork mod recovery it just boots into normal recovery (android system recovery <3e>) i just need a way to either get CWM to work or another way to get cyanogen mod on my phone. Im already rooted, iv checked so dont ask if i am. I think my build number is weird because it was harder to root than normal. My build number is JDQ39.1337UCAMF3 i really need help soon

I won't ask if you rooted but I will ask you to read post #2 in this thread before you brick your phone.
You're on MF3 and there is no way to get CWM on your phone just yet.
Safestrap is your only alternative.

You need to read the "pinned" threads in the general and q&a sections. There are also threads about "SafeStrap" in the general section. I suggest you do a lot of reading before doing anything to your phone or asking any more questions. Good luck.

You are wrong. Again, take a few days to do some reading and research.
Hey,
I was flashing me S3 today I did everything correctly, but when I finally got to the home screen I noticed a caution circle where my signal should be, I thought it was just a glitch but when I reset my phone a few times saw it was there permanently.
Here what I mean http://gyazo.com/f64104214e8eb8a044f726317225f322
I look around online before coming here and most required dailing a number but I couldn't do any of that.
Have I really messed up my phone or is this a easy(ish)
I am now downloading the stock samsung 4.1.2 as I have read flashing the stock rom can sometimes work.

My GS4 i337 keeps rebooting. I flashed Wicked v10 and everything went well except I had no wifi or data. I also noticed that the model number changed. I then proceeded to flash Wicked v10 and it said it was succesful, but when I started it up it would say safestrap enabled and then when it actually tried to boot up the screen went black and after a while it would vibrate twice and try to boot up. I have the AT&T GS4 (i337). What do I do?
Do a data wipe. Sounds like old user data is interfering with boot. Factory reset/data wipe should fix you up. If not, reflash with a dif cable. No data bc most roms require you to manually enter the apn after flashing. I woumd follow a guide while flashing if you're new at this. Dont mean to imply you are. I always wipe after every new rom flash, can fix a lot of "bugs".

I tried to do a data wipe but it says
E: error opening '/datamedia/media'
E: error: No such file or directory
Also I didn't use a data cable I just flashed it from safestrap recovery. Also I have done multiple factory resets, just doesn't boot. I'm gonna see if I have to do a different rom slot.

Idk much about safestrap as im on a Canadian variant and dont need it. You didnt overwrite your default slot tho did you? Can you boot into stock at all? I have seen a lot of safestrap issue threads and fixes, any luck searching the threads?

Yes I overwrote my stock (Yeah I'm a dumbass I know)
No I can't boot into stock.
I didn't really think it was a safestrap issue but I did look for some threads and found someone with the same problem on a different device though.

Would it be a problem with the model number or anything? It has a weird model number now.
and BTW: I'm not THAT new but I wouldn't say I'm an expert. I've rooted multiple devices (GNex, HTC Evo, Kindle Fire), but this is the hardest (Stupid AT&T)

Not sure of the implications of this, bc again, i dont use safestrap. Can you use odin yo flash your device back to official stock, and stock recovery. Reroot, reinstall safestrap etc? Might be your best bet. If possible. I wish I could be of more help, but i really am of no use with safestrap. Dont worry, weve all made mistakes, you arent hard bricked so must be recoverable.

Samsung-updates.com has all the stock firmware for all devices. Make sure you read the safestrap faq to ensure you flash a stock compatible with it. I know 4.3 with safestrap is giving ppl fits, may be best to go 4.2.2. Use the firmware archive for older firmwares. I uploaded 4.2.2 to the android section of the thepiratebay.org or thepiratebay.se a month or so ago, as many had requested it.

Wait scratch that
I might not be an idiot.
I have the i337 (snapdragon)...
Which is essentially i9505
So I download the i337 right?
But the regions are canadian...
And there is no MK2...
So does this website have it?

I9505 works on i377m, dunno about the i377. Gimme a sec, ill see if i can find your mk2. Big difference that kittle m makes. Your bootloader is locked, hence safestrap, mine isn't (i377m). Not sure if the Canadian wilk run on yours, gimme a few minutes and ill see what i can dig up. If it is compatible, you could just use csc changer to set proper carrier. You will also want to lookup and identify your apn, thats what gives data on roms, without it, no data. Proper region stock has proper apn set auto. Back in a few.

These instructions assume you started with MJ6.
First, make sure you can boot into recovery. If not, download and apply the MJ6 recovery.
recovery-mj6.tar.md5
It should apply without error. If not, report the failure.
Download and extract the following files...
mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5.7z .....>>>>>MIRROR<<<<<.....
If you don't already have it, download the mf3-mj9 update file...
update-mf3-mj9.zip
1.Start Odin, connect your phone and boot into Download mode.
2.Flash mf3-emergency-part-1.tar.md5 which contains modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin and system.img.ext4.
3.The flash of system.img.ext4 WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
4.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
5.Flash mf3-emergency-part-2.tar.md5 which contains cache.img.ext4.
6.The flash WILL FAIL at the end. That's OK.
7.Force Reboot the phone back into Download mode (Voldown+Home+Power) and restart Odin.
8.The phone should now reboot to a black screen with the pulsing notification LED.U need to install recovery-mj6.tar.md5 or i337MK2stockRecovery.tar.md5 (also confirmed work with some users) via ODIN first if u stuck between step 6 and 7 since u are on DOWNLOADING MODE....and then force reboot to get u back to recovery if u coming from MK2 by using combo button (VolUp+Home+Power) or use this Odin Force Reboot .tar File to reboot
9.Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update via adb and open your adb command from computer and use MF3>MK2 update zip files from OP .....HOPE THIS HELP......
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
I recommend sideloading instead of flashing from sdcard because the sdcard method reboots the phone whether the update was successful or not and you lose the error messages.
10.Reboot the phone and let it initialize.
11.You should now have MK2. and last step is to Hit THANK button......

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505G which I flashed a custom rom on about a year or so ago.
I have since tried to update/flash it again with no joy. My baseband version is (meant to add my baseband when my phone loaded, it didn't.... Its something like MEA on the end.
I tried updating it so many ways, all different roms, stocks, baseband updates, god knows what else and I spend a lot of time on it also.
When ever I try to flash a stock rom using ODIN it fails. I recently tried to flash 5.1 I9505GUEUDOH2 Full Restore hoping it would just solve all my issues but now I seem to be in a boot loop.
I honestly don't know why this has happened.
Please can some one give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advanced

Okay, so I managed to sort a sort of fix, I guess.
I used odin in download mode to flash twrp recover using BL. I launched into recovery and installed a I9505 rom onto my phone. So its currently working and I will probably leave as is in worry that if I continue to mess around I may brick it for good lol

My guess is you were flashing the wrong roms. You probably have an I9505 and not an I9505G.
