[HELP] Bricked phone, now Odin and Kies rejecting firmware reset - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Last night I bricked my phone, trying to flash the stock modem (NAE) on mobile Odin. As of right now, it does not boot, simply being stuck at the SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 screen. It will not boot into recovery, instead rebooting to the same screen once more. Kies will not see the connection, and I have reinstalled it, the drivers, etc.
Odin does the same thing, but sees the connection. All I get is this after trying to flash the firmware (both with Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time on and off)

And the firmware that I am using is the "L720VPUFNAE_L720SPTFNAE_L720VPUFNAE_HOME.tar.md5." I don't know what to do, and I was thinking that someone could help me here.

Were you on NG2 perhaps? If so, you cannot go back to NAE and that would explain the Odin failure.
Go to www.sammobile.com and download the NG2.tar and give that a try.

If only I had thought of that (which I couldn't have)! Thanks, this worked. I was on the NC6 version of the ROM, and have downloaded/installed this. It works like a charm except one thing; the data seems to either not be working, or extremely slow at times. That, and the messaging does not appear to work. Wifi is the same way at times.

If you were on NC6 you have a triband model (720T) and need NG5.tar.

Only will boot into downloading mode

I've got a sprint galaxy s4, was running 4.2.2 and I had added the hotspot mod by overwriting some files to make that happen. I was attempting to go back to stock in order to update to 4.3 via an Odin3 flash and something happened. I can only boot into the download mode, I can't get into recovery mode at all. If I try to get into recovery, I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Kies will not recognize my phone. When I plug it into my computer via usb, I hear a notification. Kies attempts to connect, but never does successfully. I have no way of getting my serial number as I can't boot it and it's not listed under the battery cover. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers with no success. I have tried to uninstall Kies completely and flash via Odin3 but get a failure below

I hope I've provided info on what I have tried. I am not an expert by any means, but would really appreciate any help. At this point I'm looking to just get back to stock and have a usable phone. I don't care about losing any info and am willing to wipe/flash whatever I can. Thank you for any input! I'm hoping to not have to take this to the sprint store
You just have to odin the stock mf9 tar again. I would try a different version of odin, a different usb port, or a different usb cable. Odin will fix your problem, don't use kies. I used odin 3 version 3.07 but I've also had a lot of success with odin 3 ver 1.85 that is included when you download cf autoroot. Also, make sure you are running odin as administrator.

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to flash the stock .tar but I'm not having any success. I get the error messages I listed above. Any clue what those mean or what I could be doing wrong? That looks like greek to me. I really don't know what any of it means.
i would just use the CF-autoroot odin......this has saved my ass twice !!! seems to be the " mirical odin " program

wow. Finally figured it out. I tried 3 different USB ports, none of those worked. Tried a 4th on the back of my PC and viola, finally got Odin to work. THanks for your help!

[Q] Soft-bricked Verizon Galaxy Note 3

(Previous thread can be seen here)​
Hi all,
Thank you for whom reads this thread. - Very recently I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The method I was using was the Kingo application that isn't prohibited on the forum which I now know. At this point I am unsure what to do, besides flashing this but I am unsure if this method will work. Plus I do not know how to flash this or where to even begin.
Basically in short, I tried doing the following:
Root with the Kingo root application that I got from the official site.
After I used Wanam Exposed to customize my stock ROM.
Played on my phone for a bit and then I got a random error: "Unfortunately, System Ui has stopped"
I posted a thread about this issue (without much detail on what I was doing) and I was recommended to flash these stock files which didn't work. Here is the following errors while I try to flash the file in Odin:

At this point I do not know what to do. I am not hard bricked but I assume I am soft bricked because my phone will not boot into my system because of the error I posted above. If anyone can get me on the right track this would be great. Thank you.
the same thing has happened to me before and i plugged my phone into the computer and used the built in verizon upgrade center and went to the repair section

Could you please link me to the software
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda app-developers app
I think your phone may have had firmware that was later than what you were trying to flash. From what you posted you were flashing mi9 which was the first one with initial released phones. They would explain the soft brick. Then there was update MJ7 and now there is MJE. I would suggest finding the MJ7 tar file and try that and see if that will fix the soft brick. If same results then try MJE.
Hope this helps.

System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone

I have a Verizon Note 3 that I rooted then unrooted. Verizon pushed a ota to my phone and now all I get is System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. I tried odin toflash back to stock but that fails. Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks
Once you go to 4.4.4 you are out of luck with downgrading and rooting
I,m just trying to get working again. It tells me
software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Go to the nearest vz store. Only they have never seen it. At this point I don't care if I trip the knoxs . I'll run a custom if I have to.
Do a factory reset. Or just ignore the warning
I tried to do a factory reset. It won't let me. The best I can tell is vz locked it.
This is what I get when I try

You are trying to install an older firmware nc2. You cannot go back. You need to Odin nj6 4.4.4, if Vzw sent nj6 ota to your phone.
Or do a factory reset like I stated.
Factory reset would not work.
How did you try a factory reset?
I couldn't do a factory reset. The only thing I could do to the phone was put it in down load mode. The home button did nothing. The vz dealer said volume down, home button and power should do a reset. When the odin screen popped up they didn't know what to do.
I wasn't sure if i was on 4.2 or 4.4. Before the ota came through I was on 4.2. I could not get 4.2 to download with odin. I went to SamMobile and down loaded 4.4 . That did the trick. My phone is back working again.
Now when I put the phone in download mode now it doesn't say anything about the knox or warranty. Before it said knox 0x0 and warranty 0x1 . I'm not sure if it reset that part or not. I do know I will not let it do another ato again.
I want to thank everybody for their help. I could not have done with out this forum.
I would also like to thank edfunkycold for moving my thread to the right spot
Ed
Factory reset will delete user data, not system data.
Do a factory reset under settings

S4 GT-I9506 is stuck on Firmware upgrade encountered an issue

this model seems difficult (gt-i9506)
i tried to root it via towelroot, then kingoroot, these failed but then now the reboot is stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
ive tried Kies firmware recovery but the download fails after 80%,
ive tried the sammobile download the ROM this too fails, network drops out tried this 3 times
i want to try Kies emergency recovery but cant find any recovery code
im stuck i dont know what to do now been researching for 4 hours cant find solution :crying:
could anyone please help?? am going crazy over this spent 2 days researching and finding nothing
Download a complete stock rom and flash it with ODIN. You have to uninstall KIES beforehand (they are conflicting).
thanks for reply...
i took kies off and this is what Odin is giving me...

well the first ROM was 4.2 android (bottom of ROM list), so then tried 4.4 (top of ROM list) android it failed again but with different Odin errors...

can anyone see the fault here...?? no error came up on the device, only on Odin this time
Did you restart after KIES de-installation? Was USB driver successfully missing (so you had to install one manually for ODIN)? If not, you probably still have drivers/files running from KIES.
Otherwise, try a different computer to double check its not the system.
If you originally updated to Android 4.4.x or later on this device, you cannot install 4.3.x or lower as Knox within the bootloader will actively prevent Odin from functioning. As to Odin, make sure you're using the original cable, are not using a hub, have Kies disabled or uninstalled, and use a different USB port. Odin sometimes is picky about the ports it uses.
If you can get the ROM issue resolved, use CF-Autoroot to root, keeping in mind that you will trip the Knox flag in doing so. Towelroot and other one-click root methods don't work on your device.
FIXED IT!!!!!!! :laugh::silly::good::cyclops:
Moved all operations to a different PC running XP with no kies on it
The error still occurred "write fail"
So instead i tried Odin 3.09 instead of 3.07 but most of all i changed usb cables, found an original cable off my mates Nokia
then boom!!! she starting writing!!!
Thankyou so much you legends, you are now my best friends forever!!!
Strangely the new flash, all my old previous data & apps are still on there??? somehow the network is not locked either which i was fearing being a vodafone ROM
still want to root it though
Flashing a ROM through Odin doesn't wipe the data partition, which is why your apps are untouched.

unroot galaxy s4 Odin fail

I am trying to return my Galaxy s4 SGH-1337 to the original - to unroot it. I rooted it but then the wifi didn't work. I tried to fix the wifi issue but after many hours of trying, I decided to just reinstall the original firmware. I downloaded the I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT.zip, expanded it and ran it with Odin and it failed. Following is the message stream from Odin.
If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it. BTW - I can't download anything directly to the phone because wifi is not working.

Audit13,
How do I unlock the bootloader and get a more recent ROM? Thanks.
The bootloader on the i337 cannot be unlocked once it has been locked.
