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)
I am going to try safestrap and let you guys know if it worked.

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..

and then there is this in red on my phone:

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.
Hello peeps a Happy New Year to all!
I tried searching the forums and google but no luck on my case. I am trying to install hyperdrive and am following instructions, downloaded files multiple times on multiple computers and i337m itself. Aroma opens fine and works through fine untill it tries to flash kernel it says:
flashing kernel
file_getprop: failed to stat "/tmp/aroma/kernel.prop": No such file or directory.
So I thought it was just missing a kernel, so continued and installed the att compatibility pack and all i get is ODIN/download mode. I then tried flashing kstoonez kernel and same thing.
I am using Philz Touch latest version on Canadian s4
Any ideas?

The kernel message was no problem for me.using safe strap?

the kernel error is common just proceed as you did
did you wipe all including system before flashing? i don't usually wipe in aroma unless no choice given
did you choose your correct carrier--who is your carrier--that info helps us tp help you--
i don't have i337m so can't be specific on things relating to that phone. you say i337m and i337 is in your sig
if you have i337 you need to flash loki-doki after rom
maybe try twrp--i use 2.5.0.2--i have, and there is a flashable zip for it (i337)
got to go for now--

Thank you both for your replys, your help is very much appreciated.
So I wiped it with recovery not aroma.
Carrier is Fido (Rogers subsidiary)
Phone is Canadian S4 variant (SGH-I337m) I believe it is the same as i337 (The m being a canadian designation) but don't quote me on that.
I was under the assumption that Canadian s4 Didn't need lokidoki.
Can you elaborate on safestrap?
No matter what I try it goes boots to download mode. Even if I plug it in to charge not pressing any power button.
Canadian s4 doesnt need loki doki. And your not on safestrap if you have twrp.
As far as your problem. Did it complete the install of the rom even after it said it failed the kernel?
I suggest installing then flashing a 4.3 tw kernel for your device before rebooting system. You shouldn't need a compatibility pack as your not att. Plus im pretty sure the compat pack has loki in it which may cause problems. I also remember philz recovery as having auto loki. So I dont know if you've used philz recovery b4 successfully. If you haven't then id suggest trying twrp. Definitely just try a kernel for your device though. Ktoons worked for me. Other kernels left me stuck at spash screen

I believe that my phone's bootloader is unlocked (as with most other jtflecan models), but again don't quote me. As a result I have never used safestrap. Should/could I still use it if my bootloader is unlocked?

It seemed that way as that was the only error, and aroma proceeded through. First time I tried without the ATT compatibility pack, no go, then with and still no go. Then i tried with a few kernels and same thing.

I transitioned from cwm to philz for ntfs capability as my external sdcard is ntfs. I remember reading somewhere that autoloki was not included and some have complained about it so im not sure if it was added in a later build. In any case I just tried flashing twrp and got a mushy brick.
Now Im curious if I should restore to original and use safestrap or what as my phone does nothing but odin mode.
As always thanks for your valued input.
Your boot loader is definitely not locked. If it was you wouldnt have a custom recovery. So you don't need safestrap. Just restore and reroot and get a recovery. What you put on your phone after that is up to you. I know hyperdrive wouldn't boot for me with most kernels it was just stuck on the splash screen. But it booted for kt kernel. I would honestly find another Rom if I was in the same position
MINI UPDATE:
Phone was bootlooping so I tried to restore to stock 4.2.2 but ODIN failed continuously. Tried 4.3 stock (mk6) and odin failed, tried older odin and succeeded but it bootlooped and went to the kies upgrade error. Tried multiple Computers (2PC 1OSX) multiple ports and cables and all failed.
Trying to figure this out but not much help out there with regards to canadian s4, att guides ok? any suggestions? trying kies restore now but kies hangs after it downloads firmware. urgh

ODIN seems to fail at different points, sometimes in recovery, or modem or etc.
do i need to repartition?if so where do i find the pit file for my device?
im reading that im screwed and praying its not true.
Thanks for any help
You cant get into recovery? Only odin? Just keep looking around. I bet its because the aroma flashed a incomplete flash. But I dont know the difference between i337 and i337m so I dont know what to tell you. I suggest keep trying to Odin. If it doesn't work I believe theres a tool to force a stock image onto the phone but I cant remember what its called

no i only get odin.
phone only turns on when plugged in to usb on pc, otherwise unresponsive to hardkeys.
Every instance of ODIN flashing fails. No matter which firmware or computer i used, either write failure or PIT failure. both of which im attributing to an incomplete flash, and its making me think that the partition tables are chewed.
im stumped and phonless
any idea what that app was called? google yields no results
thanks for your help
Heres something to read. I dont know if you need the.Canadian pit or reg att pit. Dont just flash one. Get informed first

Thank you very much for that link. It summed up everything i have been reading for the past 24 hours, but alas i have yet to figure out which pit to use, whether I can use the att pit, wind (different provider, uses aws (2 different frequencies from gsm standard) as opposed to gsm although they may have changed that recently),find a rogers pit, since they and fido are essentially the same network or continue searching for a fido pit.
Knowing what the pit does, would it really be carrier specific (asides from the difference in radios between fido/rogers and wind)? Is it ROM version and android version specific?
Update:
-Have Tried all options for recovery in KIES on multiple Pcs and Multiple Macs
-Download/Odin Mode Reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337M
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB; 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
START [224,1440]
BAR [240,1440
Questions:
Before this whole fiasco ODIN didnt show KNOX. I assume thats from the 4.3 revert i tried?
Does Write Protection have anything to do with it? I do recall being able to odin flash with this before.
eMMC Burst is new to me, havent seen this before
BAR pops up before failing but not seconds before, maybe a minute before.
Still Stumped
Edit: Even if i were to find the pit file, i cant seem to find modem, csc, and bootloader to add to odin. (unless they are all combined in that md5 file) so i wouldnt be able to flash until having all the necessary items as pit rewrites the partitions and all data is lost.
i also remembered one odd thing, may or may not apply here, but just before flashing to hyperdrive, i was not able to properly format. it would take a few tries to format data or whichever for example, before files were actually gone.
tried reverting to MDJ got vibrate loop
trying again to MK6

Hi, I am currently having this problem after trying to install RLS15.
After trying to flash the new ROM, phone would not boot, and I was no longer able to install ROMS or Restore backups.
When I would try to restore a backup, it would get to Restoring Data, and immediately fail.
When installing the ROM and its kernel, I got the same message as you:
flashing kernel
file_getprop: failed to stat "/tmp/aroma/kernel.prop": No such file or directory.
I've tried:
flashing kernels before flashing the ROM
re-install of Loki + TWRP + Motochopper Casual (Did not revert back to stock before doing this)
flashing the AT&T Compatibility pack.zip for RLS15 Before and After flashing the ROM
Fixing permission
I've noticed once or twice, when trying to restore a backup, a message in TWRP saying that SuperUser was not installed, and it asked if I wanted to install it. So I did the "Swipe to install" in TWRP, but the phone quickly reboots and again doesn't get passed the boot logo.
Sooo, I'm not too sure where to start on this one

What variant do you have?
So I figured out my problem. In TWRP recovery, I went to mounts, and mounted my micro SD card. It was mounted to internal memory and I guess that was screwing up flashes. Hope this works for you too!

I'd flash TWRP or CWM and wipe it through that but if you haven't done so already this will trip your Knox warranty void as these recoveries are custom.
Better to try this than leave as a brick..

It is like something prevented the phone to get to the part that contains the rom but at the same time if I had a problem with emmc I believe that odin would report failure but everything goes right and odin says pass but the phone dont boot.
for links I erased my browser history recently because my computer was stuffed.
If i can get stock rom with files separatly like pda modem ans csc instead a single tar file i'll try this.

I Have some sort of issue with my device.
One day i restarted my device as a rooted device.
Then it appears systemui crashed at boot so i had to reflash stock firmware.
Once i flashed id had repaired my phone.. But i could not get into recovery as some sort of lock is locking me out.
I can not seem to flash any recovery using ODIN.
And i cant find a PIT File that will help me re-Partition my deivce.

you can't do a Wipe data factory because you havn't got acces on recovery?
you can try flash recovery with MOBILE ODIN PRO if not working
download stock Leaked N9005XXUGBNL8 or try flash a Moded SystemUI for "fix" it
Ive jsut reflashed stock rom again, System status shows Custom after flashing complete stock.

No (don't check box Phone Bootloader update)
after flash rom just verify you have GBNL8 baseband (on about device)

okay thanks
hello all,
First of all, sorry about my english, if something isn't clear just tell me.
Device : sm-n900
OS : 4.4.2
For various days I tried to install a custom rom, and when it showed no success I tried anothers.
After that I tried to install the russian Lolipop stock rom(odin) just to try to get some results, but with no success as well.
While trying I didn't manage to install recoveries other than CWM.
All I can "install" are the 4.4.2 stock rom, CWM(and root), restore backup of the 4.4.2.
I assume that there is a connection between the inability to install the other recoveries, Lolipop stock and the custom roms, but I couldn't find it.
This post(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613169) showed me some possible direction, but still not a full one(philiz doesn't work and cwm does and after other recoveries flashing there is no recovery to go to until I flash CWM again).
Thanks in regard for any help .
What kind of errors are you getting with roms. How do you install the recoverys. Do you flash the correct modem and bootloader?

When trying with CWM there is no errors in the script, after "installing" nothing happen(I should see something called aroma installer if I got it right) and the phone get into boot loop.
For CWM I used Odin(worked)
TWRP(app, odin, by CWM recovery - no success in any method)
Philiz(by CWM - no success)
Basicly, I didn't saw in guides to flash bl and modem seperatly. In some experiments I tried to flash BL(I am pretty sure the correct one - In download mode and in the setting>>about phone, I saw the difference).
OK I use twrp recovery. When selecting the twrp from there home page be sure to select the correct one as they got a few versions and only one of them will work with odin. The bootloader is a must if you want lollipop builds and without that you will end up in bootloops. If you got Cwm then just stick with that.
Try flashing hyperdrive rom and see if it works. Hyperdrive is kitkat. It's a very stable rom and it works perfectly for me.

Is there Hyperdriveis for sm-n900 too?¿ I found this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709867) and it's for n900t or for versions of n9005.
And about TWRP, you mean that there is the tar file which I can flash via odin. Does it matter which version, because there was something confusing in the home page("TWRP Install (Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed)" - contradiction )
Just flash the latest tar file. No need to have a previous version of twrp on the phone.
Just make sure that the version you flash matches your phone.

I tried again with caution - I saw in some guides to tick off the auto reboot, flash TWRP, pull off the battery, return it, go streight to recovery
but the result is - stuck on boot screen while going to recovery mode
I used odin3 v3.10 and flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0

You said you can flash cwm. Flash cwm through odin. Then find flashable twrp and flash it thru cwm.
Or you can use terminal emulator to flash twrp. You can find the instructions in twrp page as well.

Tried thru CWM but it said installation aborted.
Tried thru adb(in ubuntu) as usual stuck in recovery on the boot image.
In the terminal emulator nothing happen(I assume it is my mistake, because it didn't even gave response to the command)
***********************************
EDIT : In one of the previous replies I wrote that I thought I changed the bootloader, but I mistaked it with the baseband(only maybe the bootloader too, I pretty sure yes), sorry about this confusion

I still can, but I assume that there is connection between the inability to install the other recoveries and the custom rom, so trying change recovry can make progress too.
The question is what the difference between the CWM to other recoveries, that make it the only one to be able to be installed

the only solution that works for me is installing cm 13 rom...is the only one that boots, i end in boot loop even after flashing stock with odin or kies, so, flash stock via odin, flash custom recovery via odin, flash cm 13 via custom recovery, flash apps via custom recovery....thats not a fix for the problem but it will leave the phone functional. like a nexus.

actually thats not an error, i mean, it doesn't affect anything at all.
to me its just a log showing overtime i boot into recovery mode.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------
how to solve boot loop after installing cm 13 on n910c and trying to go back to stock.
after reading a lot I've found a guy that actually fixed the issue.
you have to download:
the latest version of odin.
the latest version of ifs professional.
n910c pit files.
n910c coj5 boot loader and modem.
n910c coj5 firmware OF YOUR OWN COUNTRY.
the latest n910c twrp recovery.
steps:
enable adb on developer options on your device.
open efs professional on your pc or virtual machine.
backup your efs folder.
erase your efs folder.
install twrp with odin.
wipe everything including internal storage with twrp.
flash pit file and reboot. odin
flash boot loader and reboot. odin
flash firmware and reboot. odin
and you are done.
then root or install another rom if you want. thats optional.
after you do all of these steps, you won't loose your imei. only if you flash the coj5 firmware of your carrier provider on your country.

Execuse me sir. May you help me please. Here is my situation and Thanks in advance.
I dont have any backups except this cm 13 backup and i used dr.ketan tool to make efs backup although i dont know how to restore it
I downgraded my bootloader and modem to kitkat but flashing miui rom which is based on kitkat ends in bootloop.
Tried odin 3.9, flashed kitkat stock firmware successfully
And phone restarts But ends in bootloop.
This rom cm 13 by raymanfx is working and network is working
My Q is how to flash miui rom or even how to go back to stock 4.4.4 or 5.1.1 (i have the 3 firmwares
my phone is not entering recovery so i think it is a hardware issue , maybe charging usb flat cable error ?! i will try to replace it and post result .

If Something happens To Your Device Am Not Responsible , Anyway i think this is the only way around to fix your phone , if it's Note 4 N910C <<< ONLY
Then You Will Find That Your Device Have A Custom Kernel And It Have Been Rooted , It may boot up one time successfully , but then you will find your self with warnings in your home screen and when you restart the device it will be in a bootloop again.
So How To Fix It
1.Download The Recovery First As It's Very Important >> This Is A Good Version Of A Custom Recovery , Flash It With The Latest Version of ODIN
2.Flash The Kernel Boot-UP The Device And Continue the steps .
2.Your Phone Will Start Telling You [ Unauthorized Access Detected Please Reboot Your Device To Fix It ] < Am Not Really Accurate Cause I Don't Remember The Error
3.Reboot Your Device And You Will Find A Red Warning When You Try To Boot-Up Called [Kernel Doesn't Enforce seandroid] Now Your in a bootloop again
4.Download The Sixperience Rom It's Really Amazing And The Only Rom That Worked With Me .
5.Move The Rom To Your SD CARD then enter your recovery mode and flash it , wait few minutes , Then It Will Tell You Rom Successfully Installed
6.Now Reboot Your Device And Be Aware It May Take More then 10 min To Flash At First Regarding ART RUNTIME AND DALVIK ,
**** This Only Work For Note 4 910C And Am Not Responsible If Something Happens After This Steps Or Before
**** Don't Forget To Backup All Your Data , an in case you don't know technicals recommend that you contact customer support
