I think my S4 is semi-bricked. When switch on, the phone go into Kies recovery mode. When using Odin, the download just stopped half way.
Is there a way to resurrect my S4?
Any help appreciated.

Hi mate ,
If you can get into download there is still hope...
First thing i would do is a factory reset and see if it helps.
Please more detail , what S4 you have , when this started, what rom you had , what rom are you flashing, what errors Odin gave you??????

Managed to get the phone up and running again on a Win 8.1 system using Odin. Looks like my Win 7 Pro is not suitable for this.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Glad you got sorted. In future, before you make any changes to your very expensive device, make sure you read and know exactly what files you have and what you are doing :good:
Hey guys,
I know this is kind of answered in alot of different places but nothing is guiding me to the correct files, just want to be safe and figured this was the best place to make sure i hit the bullseye.
Just updated to poland 4.4.2 kitkat and was looking to install a customer recovery so i could grab the latest version of xnote and a few other goodies. Could someone please guide me to a download section/link for cwm? or maybe twrp? which ever would work easiest

Yes reset it with Odin, you have n900 ? try Russian firmware, after successfully reset make a factory reset from recovery, than root and flash custom recovery
would twrp 2.6.3.7 work on 4.4?

Kies 3 restore doesn't work.... It's incompatible with the new bootloaders... Wish people would stop giving oout this USELESS information...
If you were on any of the N**(NB4) roms ie Kitkat, you can't go back to the older jellybean roms ie m**(MJ7).
You will have this problem. Just reflash a kitkat rom onto your Note 3 and you'll be fine...

Actually, as he has installed MJ7 on his phone Kies no longer works... My "opinion" is fact...
If you can't stand being corrected because you're wrong then mate, you have a problem... Maybe you should start to read the thread before replying with pointless and useless information....

Hi
My first suggestion would be take it back to where you got it , is on warranty right?
When you flashed stock rom as suggested on the thread you posted , did it all go ok? what rom version rom you had on the phone , what rom version you tried to flash?...you know you cannot downgrade, you should use same or newer rom to re flash your phone ( odin)
