Hi everyone.
I apologize for my ignorance here, I own the S3, i am helping a buddy with an s4.
he attempted to root and is now getting an error message in his notifications. His wifi won't turn on and his SD card appears to me non-accessible.
Ultimately, we are trying to get a custom recovery installed to flash a custom rom. I have flashed CFroot via odin, but its not working, we do not seem to have root.
There are a few things i am looking for, and am having a tough time finding:
A full md9 stock odin tar
a odin flashable recovery (so we could just odin a recovery and flash a custom rom)
Remember we dont have root right now so we cant install recoveries via rom manager or goo manager.
I am really familiar with Galaxy devices, i think i just need some help from s4 regulars to find the files i need.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Here is the link for the Stock MF9 firmware. Its in a zip when you download. Just unzip and you will see the tar file. Place it in the PDA section of odin.

Hello,
After successfully rooting my S4 and installing 4.3.3 I wound up screwing things up and now have the yellow triangle of death when I try to get back into recovery or boot the rom.
The only thing I seem to be able to do successfully now is get back to download mode.
Trying to flash a new recovery via odin results in a nand write failure. I've tried philz, clockwork and twrp, all do the same thing.
Since I can't boot the rom there's no way to use an adb based utility like casual, which is what I had used to originally root.
From what I can find it doesn't appear there are any odin flashable versions of the loki utility.
Any help with ideas on what to try next appreciated.
Thanks for any help

Tried flashing a stock rom with Odin, data factory reset and reroot?
Hello, my phone has a rom installed that will not boot up. I use flashify to flash the custom recovery to backup/restore/flash files. Now that I cannot boot up my phone, I cannot use flashify. Odin will not stick TWRP to my phone, and I cannot get adb to recognize my device. I really need some help to get the custom recovery to stick so I can restore my backup. Please help if anyone knows how to fix my problem, thanks in advance!
Nvm, I fixed the problem. For anybody else having the same issues, all you have to do is download the stock firmware and install it through odin. Stock firmware can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27867
So far, all i've been able to do is root my s4 via towelroot. I want to flash cwm but the flashimagegui app tells me that my device isn't supported. The only other way i know to flash cwm is through odin, but then I found out that my device might have a locked bootloader.
Could anybody explain to me if I would be able to get cwm and cm11 working on this phone? It's running 4.4.2 build :KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
I apologize if these questions have already been answered, any help would be greatly appreciated however.
Thanks
You have a locked bootloader which prevents the stock kernel and recovery from being replaced. So, cwm will not work. Only working recovery is safestrap. More info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
Hello Guys, recently i was trying to install CMW recovery on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 via odin and it is not working so i researched and found that i can use "FLASHIFY" from playstore to flash the recovery. I flashed it successfully but when i rebooted the phone, it only boot to recovery. Nothing else just the recovery. I can't get out there. So i tried to flash firmware from sammobile and still it doesnt work. I really need your help.
Sorry for the bad English.

Do not use CWM it's outdated. Only use TWRP recovery.

Post the Odin log here.
For twrp, flash via Odin.
Before flashing, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash and, when you see reset in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, boot into twrp using buttons.
