So I tried alot of ways to root my samsung galaxy s4 I337. After multiple attempts I got it to root. With the program called: kingo android root
I wanted to put cm10 on here but I needed a custom recovery i tried odin to put twrp on and It kept on failing giving me errors over and over.
so I found a program called: casual that did a root and custom recovery.
well after that it said reboot. So It did and then It got to odin downloading saying error cant normal boot.
I cant restore my phone, get into recovery, the only way I can get on my phone is if I press power down and the home button. Then it boots up.i want it to be fixed without going through all this haggle.
is there anyway besides kies cuz that aint working to fix my phone.
I check root checker basic and I am no longer rooted.
like I said odin is not working for my phone for whatever reason.
maybe if I wait for 4.3 on the 13th and do the ota update will that help.
im so lost please help me someone.
Need to know what firmware you're on. Mf3? Most likely
This might work, but it will delete everything on your phone and reset it. I hope this works :fingers-crossed:
Follow these steps (On your own risk):
1) get on your phone
2) Make sure you have unknown sources enabled (Settings--More--Security--Unknown Sources)
3) install Safestrap 3.62 (download given below)
4) Open app and click "Install Recovery"
5) then press "Reboot to Recovery"
6) It should boot into Safestrap, if not then turn off your phone and the boot it up as you would to use it and then click the menu button on the phone.
7) Then click Wipe
8) Swipe to Factory Reset
9) Reboot
10) Enjoy!

You are most probably on MF3, therefore you cannot install TWRP or CWM recoveries. You can only use Safestrap as of right now.

firmware 4.2.2. originally. but after doing whatever I did and connecting to kies it says: Current Firmware version: PDA:MF3 / PHONE:MF3 / CSC:MF3 (ATT)

You can't install Cyanogenmod. Read through the Safestrap thread and the Q/A thread to see what works.

You can't. On MF3 you cannot run AOSP/AOKP/CM/MIUI based roms. Only custom TW.

Thanks guys,
This means a lot with the help. Now if I can get the WiFi to work on the hyperdrive rom. I'll be good as gold tell y'all what from. Going from a jailbreak iOS themer to android rooting user. It's very different and a lot of looking into and reading.
Now back into looking to get this WiFi to work. Just wanted to say thanks
Did you flash the ATT compatibility package zip that you should have downloaded along side of the Hyperdrive rom ,after those two zips did you flash the MF3 kernel module zip.
I use the Hyperdrive rom now and don't have any issues

When you downloaded the rom it is in the same page. You need the compatibility package and the MF3 kernel module on Safestrap for it to work right.go back to the Hyperdrive thread and search for it

here is my issue now.
I rooted with kinggo android root. Then for custom recover I have Safestrap. I rooted to see what all i could do but after trying different Roms I have noticed I don't care. Much for it.
I unrooted via the kinggo app. And verified with root checker.
But i want to go back to full stock. I noticed Safestrap is still there running in background. But the custom logo is gone.
I just want to go back to stock and have nothing to do with root.
I used the code to remove safestrap. and used kingo to unroot. but when I get the offical files for odin and try to push them into my phone. yes I am in download mode when I enter download mode i get:
odin mode
product name: SGH - 1337
current binary: Samsung official
system status: official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30
write protection enabled
when I enter odin put thi the tar file for 4.2.2 I get a pass then a fail. the message log says: <ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

and then there is this in red on my phone:

SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 2, Binary : 1
I know I changed the topic. but after thinking there is really nothing that bennifets me with being rooted. and personally I would rather be stock.
can you guys please help.
Let me start off with I'm an idiot. Now that that's over with let me explain what I did to end up here and what I've tried to do to fix it, to no avail of course.
I was running Android 4.3 rooted with cf-autoroot. My software was messing up and with the news that kitkat was available I wanted to unroot and upgrade.
Using a guide I found online I flashed a version of 4.2.2 android. the file name was I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC.zip
Of course when it finished I had the no sound, no wifi problem because i reverted back to the wrong android system.
I then using twrp flashed VANIR and got wifi but still no sound/calls.
As per other threads I tried flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU with ODIN but every time i would get the error:
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
The only somewhat success I had was i was able to flash RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040 using ODIN 1.85 which is a 4.3 version but still no wifi/sound/calls.
Other files i have tried to flash are GSM_Modem_XXUFNA5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUFNA5(under phone), I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX_FREE-ODEX-FULL and even tried a pit file: CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit
Everytime i get Complete(Write) operation failed.
I've put CWM on but still no luck. I need suggestions or a fix please and thank you.
1. Be sure ur phone is SGH-i337 or SGH-i337M. Take the battery off and take a look the label pls for avoid problems :highfive:
2. Wipe all and flash the latest FIRMWARE android 4.4.2 for ur phone (if is SGH-i337M) through ODIN.
3. When u finish, tell me how it worked. Hi5
Downloading now. It is SGH-i337M. Is it normal to be getting (<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.) errors when flashing with ODIN?

do not try to flash 4.3 it will not work you cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 as your bootloader gets updated and if you do then you will only endup trigring knox binary that will void your warrenty if you care....

try re install Samsung drivers
Hi there!
I recently tried to install the Echoe ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and now it is soft bricked and I cannot restore it back to stock. I have tried flashing it with Odin however it simply comes up with the error '<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed. <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)'. I have tried repartitioning the device with a pit file but still no luck. I have even tried disabling my firewall and antivirus in case that does something but I have still not been able to do it.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

No custom rom can be flashed with odin. You need a custom recovery for flashing a custom ROM.

Well you can't flash any custom rom through ODIN.
the only thing you can do is go to download mode root your phone again and see if you can restore a nandroid backup succesfully at least if you thought about creating a nandroidbackup before flashing a new rom.
if this is not working install stock rom first and then try to install a custom rom of your choice.
goodluck
My phone is currently stuck saying:
"Samsung Galaxy Note3
Custom"
History: installed rooted NC2 months ago, phone ran really crappy, had safestrap recovery, decided i'd sit down to install jasmine rom eventually
Today: followed Jasmine 5.0 directions, did a wipe, I believe the wipe told me "cannount unmount internal storage"
did this twice, and phone rebooted.
got a loop of "samsung galaxy note3 custom"
followed this: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-3.html
(Note: Jasmine never installed, i got tripped up when i tried to wipe cache, etc) I was on 4.4.2
Now I get "samsung galaxy note3 custom" without a loop.
---
I can boot to recovery, but I suppose I have nothing it can install to recover. I am not 100% sure what steps to take. I realize this topic gets posted often, I am sorry. I read through a number of "I bricked my phone" topics before posting this.

Go to sammobile.com and get the 4.4.2 firmware and use Odin (latest version) to install.
You'll have to reroot (which can be done on 4.4.2) and reinstall safestrap.
The above presumes you don't have a backup made with safestrap.

Which version of Odin are you using? I believe you need 3.09 or higher.
How did you make the backups? If via Safestrap...you have to use it to recover. The date of the backup is typically embedded in the file name.
Also if you haven't. ...read this thread

That means you're trying to install an older version of the software. You must load either 4.4.4 or 5.0 because the bootloader was updated to either 4.4.4 or 5.0 at some point.
That means you've lost root.

Thats what I feared, but I guess not the absolute end of the world... Should I essentially just stick with stock Verizon updates from now on?
I cannot get root back past the NC4 bootloader right?

Yes, that is correct. You can load either 4.4.4 or 5.0 via Odin. You can get either version on sammobile. And correct...no root available for either. So all you'll have is stock updates from now on unless someone magically figures out how to get root on those....very unlikely though.
