When i check the version in settings, model number is GT-i9500, but when im in dowloading mode says model sgh-i337
First i tried to install a recovery for i9500 but now my wifi is not working. Also, when the recovery installation fails, appears the message "system software not authorized by at&t
any possible to install recovery?
it is a fake s4?
After all my attempts to install custom roms now i can't do a factory reset.
I would like (if is possible) to install rom to recovery the wifi in my s4
Thanks

No, it isn't a fake. The person you bought it from changed it to make it look like Ala I9500, but it originally a SCH-I337. Just download original I337 firmware and you're good to go. You can't install recovery like TWO OR CWM, you need to install safestrap. Cheers

I would recommend you first try to Odin mdl firmware from sammobile.com. you may have an older device where twrp or cwm will work. Worst case is Odin fails.

If you're on 4.4.2 mdl is not going to work. Flash the nb1 firmware in Odin

i did it and works great. But the wifi is still not working. I was reading and i found that my efs folder is empty. Fortunately, i copy the efs folder in the sd, also make a .zip, but now i cant copy to the empty efs folder, it show a message that i make changes in the phone and it will restart. do you have any idea how to restore the folder?
the message is "unauthorized actions have been detected. restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes"
Try flashing the nb1 kernel in odin

Can someone please help me get out of this soft brick because I am really stuck. Currently I am getting the error message that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." but I have done that and it has failed on both mac and windows 7. I have also tried flashing stock build UCUAMDL 4.2.2 firmware via odin 1.7, 1.85 and 3.07 and I have also used the PIT files along with re-partitioning and F. Reset Time. Every single time in odin it has gotten to system.img.ext4 and then failed immediately following. A couple of times I have been able to get into stock recovery mode and it stated an error that the /system partition could not be accessed and I wiped cache/system/data and then tried rebooting and it stayed in the big white galaxy s4 letters and didn't even go to the boot logo. Based on this can anyone help me please???? If there's an existing thread can you please let me know? Thanks!
Which model do you have? What firmware are you on?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
sounds like you wiped your phone when you wiped system/data, why did you do that
you have nothing to boot
kies don't work with iMac
yeah give all the phone info you have, model, build, etc. build may be on your box
i think you can now only flash stock firmware thru Odin to recover, but if you were mf3, you may need to go to bestbuy and see samsung reps to flash phone. don't have any experience at that or using odin
stay on windows pc to do this
may be tomorrow till you get some help from others
good luck

Sorry I forgot to mention that it's a SGH-I337 as well and I was running the jamal 4.3 AOSP ROM
well then you are with what custom recovery?
and you are not mf3
sounds like the mf3 update was trying to flash. did you not delete the update files with Titanium so the Update would not run
can you boot into recovery and restore a nandroid

i gotta call it a nite. maybe some west coasters can help since they are 3 hours behind us
but, please don't say you don't have a nandroid--
i think this is fixable--:good:
restoring a nandroid backup could solve your problem, did you try flashing with fastboot instead? When you installed AOSP ROM were you using a toolkit? If so did you flash a temp recovery?

I don't have one, although do you think that I can flash a custom recovery with a PIT file because that seems to be the only thing that works. Also I do not have a nandroid backup. Is there somewhere that I can download someone's already made?

That's close enough. That means you aren't on mf3.
Edit, have you tried to odin the stock firmware? Never mind I see you have
I would download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and try Odin again on a pc. Either version of odin is ok, 1.85 or 3.07.
When you use Odin only have auto-reboot checked, Don't check re-partition.
also, if you are running a custom rom you have a custom recovery
cwm or twrp?

They key word here is that I WAS running a custom recovery when all of this started. It was actually the recovery that started all of this. What happened specifically was I tried to update TWRP via goo manager and whenever I tried to go into recovery it gave me the error that at&t has detected unauthorized software on my phone which I thought was weird because I believe that goo manager auto-lokis. Anyway I tried using other apps to add a custom recovery like ROM manager by clockworkmodz and nothing worked. I then tried to flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 via odin and that's what sent my phone into the state that it's in now. Something that confuses me even more is is that whenever I plug in my phone a battery logo comes up that I don't recognize and then freezes.

Have you re-downloaded the firmware? It could be a bad download. Are you using the .tar.md5 file
When you get it sorted use twrp 2.5.0.2. I think I posted a zip for you.

When you flashed twrp with odin are you sure it was for your device? I think you might have borked your partitions.

That is possible, I know what is causing this has something to do with the partitions being messed up since I can't access /system in the stock recovery mode
NOTE: AT&T variant. Phone is running 4.2.2 with MF3 baseband
So I'm helping a friend root his phone and run a custom ROM. The root went successfully (motochopper) and we installed SafeStrap and then we did a backup and wipe and then installed a 4.3 Google Play edition ROM (first mistake as we meant to download the 4.2 version)
I have the stock firmware zip for the phone and figured that that was the way to fix it, but I can't figure out how to get it to install. Through ADB it gives me an error after starting DAEMON. I converted the zip to a .tar and tried to use ODIN but ODIN stops working as soon as I tell it to run. I made sure I had the most current, correct drivers and am running ODIN3 v1.85. I thought maybe if I put it on the SD card I could install it though that method via the stock recovery but it says there is an invalid arguement.
What am I doing wrong?

What stock firmware zip do you have? You have to have the mf3 .tar.md5 file if you're trying to use odin
How does he have mf3 and motochopper works? It shouldn't. Also you have to have a custom recovery to flash the gpe rom and we don't. The closest thing we have is safestrap.

I'm not sure. I just used the first method I found and it worked. Then when it came to the recovery part that's when I found out about his baseband

I'm on the SamMobile site trying to find the firmware and it says that they don't have it. I find that weird that such a popular model doesn't have the firmware needed to do this. I put in the correct model and country
EDIT: nevermind.
Hello.First post here.
I currently have been using CM11 for a few months now but miss some features on stock. (multiwindow, air view) so I installed Sacs ROM.
Everything was working great today except a known problem is wifi will not work due to radio opbstructions (i believe). So i attempted to change the baseband to MF9.
At first, Odin started then immidately it failed. The error read 'Fused 4 Binary 1'
So i assumed it was a connection error. I loaded back into download mode and tried again. Failed.
At this point i thought screw it, and took the battery out. tried to reboot and stuck at the soft brick "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I installed Kies. Plugged in my phone. Drivers installed but Kies will not connect. Try to do 'Firmware Upgrade and Initialization'
However Kies will NOT accpet my S/N number. i tried everything. writing it all out or with a space every 3 numbers or with 'DEC' at the front. nothing worked.
I even called sprint to double check S/N (ESN/DEC)
so basically I'm soft bricked and Kies is screwing me over. Any ideas?
Have you tried to odin back to stock?

Yes but it takes all but about 30 seconds to root again
You could go straight to sacs after rooting.

If you flash a full stock tar you won't have to flash radio.
Do a search please for the tar.

i searched around and eventually found a working .md5 file. its apparently is stock. got my phone to start booting but it got stuck at the yellow sprint screen. im going to try to boot into safe mode. any ideas how to access my recovery file? i have one form CWM and one from Ti Backup
which tar did you flash through Odin? MF9, MK2 or NAE?
IF you were on MF9 and flashed the full MF9 tar you can try and flash again. Just power off phone completely, go to download mode, attach and run Odin. (same for MK2 or NAE) BUT if you tried flashing MJA/MK2 or NAE you cannot go back to MF9. Things you should have read about already.
If it hangs on boot after flashing, power off completely, boot to stock recovery and do a factory reset and then let it restart first reboot can take 5 to 10 earth minutes.
You can then root via CF-Autoroot or Saferoot, install goomanager to grab a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) OR Odin said recoveries (Philz, TWRP etc.)

I think i fixed it.
Problems resolved.
The issue was i had Sacs v4 which didnt support wifi and i read that it needed MF9 firmware.
i had a lapse in judgement and without thinking tried to go back from MJA. didnt catch it until now.
I eventually found the correct stock file. eventually got into the phone. rerooted and in the process of install the proper sacs ROM (v5.6)
this was a simple error that i shouldve caught thanks guys!
hopefully this ROM will work with wifi...
BTW, all my backups were wiped
Your backups weren't on your external sd? Ooo, that sucks. Glad you got it.

You don't flash ROMs through ODIN. You'll need to use ODIN from your computer to flash the stock firmware, reroot, install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, and flash the ROM through the custom recovery.

sammobile.com should have it. You'll need to make a free account, and search for your model. I'm not sure what firmwares you can and can't downgrade on i337m, so try and get the same one you were on before. You might also want to use a CSC changer to make sure it identifies with your correct carrier, but I don't believe it's necessary.

So i wanted to upgrade to lolipop. In order to do that i followed this tutorial http://www.droidviews.com/update-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-to-lollipop-and-keep-root/ and they said to flash to NJ4. (using this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56453108&postcount=2 ) Since i was already rooted and had safestrap i followed STEP 2 and after these
1. Reboot into Download Mode
2. In Odin, and flash NC1 Kernel file in the AP slot
3. Phone will reboot

instructions i cannot boot to my phone now , it only shows that "boot to safestrap recovery or to my phone". If i click my phone it just blacks out and shuts off.
I tried to factory reset in safestrap recovery and after than i tried to boot into system but it says no os found? are you sure you want to boot..
Another note:- i used ODIN 3.09 since it was stated in STEP 1, now i can see how dumb i am since it was for I9505 :|
Auto reboot and F. Reset times were checked. Android Version was: 4.3 , Model: SGH-i337
Please help me with this,

First, there is no specific Odin for a specific phone. It's the same Odin for any Samsung phone. It sounds like you should flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and start the process all over again
