Were you on mf3 firmware?

It would seem that OP was not on MF3 because of the mention of getting rid of a custom recovery.

Yeah I was originally on mf3 had Safestrap for a recovery. Pretty much tryin to get all original firmware so I can trade this phone in for that new Lg that's t I think blows this phone outta the water.

If you're on mf3 Odin is not going to work. You're stuck where you are.

@StlGucci you can take it to bestbuy and have the samsung guy flash the mf3 firmware

That blows. Just to double check, So theres no way to get the stock recovery back? Because I have no recovery at this moment. Playing with fire lol

No way other than bestbuy.

Sorry i know this isn't the forum for it. But hoping u might know. I got a Galaxy Tab 2 Hard Bricked trying to root. U mentioned that best buy guy can flash the firmware for the s4, Do you happen to know, if they could help me out by flashing the firmware on that also? And I've looked everywhere for a solution to the hard brick and all bad came up with nothin

What is your bootloader version? If it is higher than MDL, I think you are out of luck.

Looks like you are on nb1. You can't use custom recovery. All you can do is downgrade to mk2 and use safestrap

[Q] How bad is my soft brick?

I have posted to this thread before and am very thankful for the help provided.
Now, I have been doing LOTS of reading on unbricking a soft bricked GS4 from AT&T but have no luck.
I have read that unbricking a soft bricked phone is usually a piece of cake, but I guess I'm just really unlucky :crying:
I have tried many methods, from wiping data in recovery, flashing stock roms, and so on, but haven't really succeeded with any method.
Just now, I wiped/formatted the cache and data in recovery one more time, made sure my battery was at 100%, and flashed a
stock firmware in Odin 3.09 using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
The end result was as follows:

Your phone is higher than the amdl bootloader. You will need to try the mk2 or higher tar package. I think they might be linked in the general section.

So flashing an MK2 or NB1 tar in Odin should fix it?

Yep. Remember you will be back to full stock, no root.

[q] at&t s4 nc1 help

Ok so im not sure this is where to post this but I'll give it a try. I had a rooted galaxy s4 running NC1 update. I wanted to unroot it and set it back to stock so i can give it to a family member. I followed a guide that told me to flash the NB1 firmware and update to NC1, so i put the phone in download mode and opened ODIN and selected the NB1 tar file, right after i started it there was some text going on on the left of the screen, and after it said something like "boot.img" (I'm not sure what it exactly said but it started with boot.something) it gave an error and odin said it failed. I tried starting the phone up and it said that the firmware update was interrupted and to plug it into kies. I tried following the emergeny firmware update and it wouldn't go through. On the top left of the screen on my S4 it says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRENTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
If anyone can help I would be eternally gratefull, I'm not very android savy yet and i have absolutly no idea on how to fix this.
-Rob

Put the phone in download mode and re-attempt the NB1 flash through Odin. As long as the download mode exists, the phone can be recovered.

[q] i337 bootloader i9505 rom

When I go to ODIN mode my PRODUCT NAME IS I337. However when i go to the about section in settings it says I9505. The phone is from China and I have rooted it I want to install a rom on this (5.0 prefferably maybe stock). Please help out also when I try to OTA update it says AT&T and no new update while its on 4.3.
Please help

If its running a custom or none stock ROM the about section will show wrong. I would remove the battery see what it says and Odin that firmware from sammobile. Sounds like you have a i337 running international variant of the rom. If it does say i337 don't do anything above MDL.

Whatever it says in download mode is probably true. Go to the system and install terminal emulator and type getprop ro.bootloader and reply with what it says (at least the last 3 characters)

I'd say just find and flash the NB1 ODIN tar file from the general section then. Either find the thread for it or check the [INDEX] thread.

The boot loop is a soft brick most of the time you'll need to Odin it to get it to boot. I'd try MDL if it boot loops still that means your on a newer version you'll need to flash the newer tar file.

Yes, it'll update the bootloader too but you can still root nb1 and you'll still need to use safestrap as your custom recovery so no harm will be done.
