[URGENT] S4 completly stuck on anything I do - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have really big problems with my I9500 basically, everything is not working. From the day I got it, I couldnt do anything (reinstalling firmware), now I can REACH recovery mode - finally. But thing is I have no idea what kind of firmware it is installed there, because If I want to instal SuperSU - I can't, towelroot does not root my phone either, when I enter recovery and try to install from SD card newest official firmware I received Installation Aborted. Odin does not work either, Kies - nope. Please, there must be something that could help me to solve this.

I have Android system recovery 3e - there is option ADB (which I assume is DOwnload Mode, right?) I tried that one too still does not work

No download mode is something completely different.
You should read this thread first.

I tried that too, but it open only factory mode in chinese

you must reinstall a stock rom with odin.
For this you need to access Download mode by pressing the down+home+power buttons.

If you don't have download mode then you have a fake i9500.

It worked, thx. But now, I had a bigger problem. After I rooted the phone, it cant connect to the mobile network, I even can´t make a phone call. I write - No service. I tried 3 sim cards including my own, which worked in this phone before the root :-/ I cant install gapps, becose it write, that it cant verify the signature. Can this be undone somehow? Because now the phone is useless

[Q] Problem with ROOT, ROM and Recovery

Hi,
I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...
But I tried to start doing it.
I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!
At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.
He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.
Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:
"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."
What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.
And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.
Please, help me!
I don't know what to do and this is my first post.
Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.
Thank you!

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?
Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble
Do the following for now:
1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.
2. Download Odin 3.04 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.
3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)
4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.
5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)
6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.
Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.

By now I just need to get my normal Rom to recieve Samsung's upgrades!
What can I do to reverse it!?
I thought I did nothing, because it faild, but something happened...
And now I cant put on recovery mode!
I'm afraid to do anything!
Can I undo all of these and have my normal original rom without root?
and if I reset it, will I lose all my stuff?
It says on the "about":
"Device's Status: personalize"
It doesnt say its modified!
but when I look for upgrade it says...

Do as said in the post above first. Then install Triangle Away and use that to reset the counter, when its done go straight to downloadmode and reflash the rom you have now with Odin 3.04, after it boots do a data factory reset and you`re fully stock with everything Official.

Yes, you can go back.
The easiest way is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, search for the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252855 and follow the instructions.

Stuck on firmware upgrade encountered an issue restore

Please help!!! I tried rooting my device using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...utmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=1390275
and after clicking start in odin, the progress bar stopped moving halfway through. I didn't know what to do so i shut down my phone and when i started it back up, i got the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
Now im stuck on this screen but i can still go into downloading mode.
I am using t-mobile and my phone model is SM-900. I think the problem was because i used the wrong file in odin. Rather than using:SM-N900 (International Exynos) i used SM-N900T (T-Mobile US). Anyway to fix this or am i screwed?Please help.

No need if update through odin. Else need to unroot to get OTA

Tried FlashFire twice , no good...

I have a S4, I337 AT&T device and I think I bricked it by trying to install TWRP, it didn't work... I was trying Muniz_ri's "Update to i337 ok2 5.0.1 and keep root", I couldn't get the Flashfire to load, lots of stuff about rooting and no Supersu something... Any help..?
If you i337 is not on mdl or mdb bootloader you can not install TWRP.
If you phone is brick how could you install the flash fire?
Flashfire works well with stock rom. Are you on custom rom?
In note section of the muniz_is post , the #4 stated that "4. If you are not already rooted (or to unbrick) you must first flash the I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin.tar (use Odin's PDA slot (AP in Odin v3.09+), root with Towelroot, then proceed with the above process." . Did you follow that step?

I'm on 5.0.1 Lollipop, the second one From Aug 11 OTA by the seller I bought it from.... I was new to android and didn't know there was a download mode....
The baseband version is: I think it is called I337OCOG0C4... It is the stock rom that came on the phone.... I can't find the stock ROM to redo it( try to at least...) It's on 0C4... I AM rooted , by Kingroot... Verification says so.... Two different versifiers... When I go to flash..., it comes up with that message... I tried removing Busy box and reinstalling it... it was ok... I reinstalled Safestrap .... It loaded fine...
When I got to NC1 flash..., it says it can't see busy box or safestrap, either one might have a problem... They both loaded fine..... I tried flashing the Tar from above... Odin just sat there and finally said fail... twice.... I think the corruption is hurting the ability to enter recovery on the phone.... I can't enter "Recovery Mode" on the phone... It is damaged.... I thought flashing could do it...

If you followed Muniz_is instruction step by step I don't think you should have a problem.
I used SS (safestrap) when I was in kit-kat alot but not anymore. It is tricky to use SS in lollipop. So I can not give you any comment on using SS. I use flashfire app instead.
So every time I want to install the custom rom, I followed Muniz_is instructions. Odin the NB1, use towelroot to root, install flashfire and flash the rooted OC4, install flashfire again and then flash the custom rom.
Muniz_is post is updated to OK2 but I am still using the OC4 files that posted previously. If you want to stay on OC4 do let me know.
What do you mean you can not enter recovery mode? I am sure you know the key sequence (press power+home+volume up) for recovery mode. If your phone is bricked, then you need to press the same keys for at least 10 sec and then let the power button go but keep pressing the home+volume-up until you felt the phone vibrate and see the small blue label at the top of the screen.
To use the odin you have to be in the download mode. To get to the download mode you need to press power+home+volume-down.

Your recovery mode probably works fine.... Mine is corrupt... You must use Recovery mode in Odin... I tried... Failed twice... Tried 4 other .tar's.... No good... A FAIL for each... I guess you have to have Recovery Mode just to allow the device to do anything... I DO appreciate you guys and ALL of your efforts ...... Maybe we could put my device on Android Studio and look at what is hurting it... I'd love that....
I had got myself into same mess in early January 2016 but I got out and all is working perfectly fine with me. Can you successfully get your i337 into download mode? if YES contact me via PM and I can tell you exact steps I performed to get myself back into fully working condition. Believe me it's simple steps not rocket science - just that one needs to perform very carefully.

If someone knew how to view the devices program on Android Studio..., MAYBE something could be done with the programming.... I'm not sure if a "Cut and Paste " would work on there... I guess I need to get a book on Android Studio... I already have it ( Android Studio SDK ) on my computer....

It froze up.... It stopped moving foward to the lower potion of the Recovery program.... At the bottom..., you can choose the different ways to manipulate the program... Mine, both phone stop at the processing sign in....
It will require something more than a few buttons being pressed.... I'll have to learn to use the Android Studio and either rebuild the program from within or to reprogram it from outside..., like with a .tar flash....

I reflashed an At&t .pit file ( using Odin) and it rebuilt my file ( partition) for Recovery mode... Not sure how it did it... Now when I CAN get into recovery mode..., it doesn't recognize the SD card so I can't use the tools in Recovery mode to change the rom to something earlier, like Muniz_ri did in one of his wonderful fixes... (Double thanks Muniz_ri..)
Once Odin sees my device..., I set it up yo start a Muniz_ri renewing rom ( I337UCUFNB1_TWROOTABLE_FULL_ODIN.tar.md5 ) and it gets to "system.img.ext4" about 10% into it and then it freezes up....
Anyone have any ideas..?
If u are able to get to download mode - I strongly recommend first you flash ONLY Stock Partition file.
Then again reboot in download mode and then try the FNB1 file....this may work...but before all this flash proper pit file - refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517
stock partition file(s) are available on xda - search and download....

You need to download Odin, then download one of the recent firmwares like PD8 etc. Put your phone in download mode, hook it to your computer, open Odin, click AP then pick the firmware file you downloaded and hit start.
You should have Odin from when you rooted and you can find the firmware file on the forum here. Just search for PD8 or PG1.
You soft bricked your device. no big deal Samsung makes it fairly easy to fix. Download Smart Switch to your computer and use the Emergency Software Recovery/ initialization process to recover your device.
