Not sure how to fix but flashing a modem with mobile Odin can be scary with this phone cuz of Loki if u can get into recovery wipe everything and reflash ur ROM kernel and maybe the stock modem
Otherwise u need a windows PC and run Odin
For future reference its way less trouble some to just flash a modem in recovery works just the same

You really don't have to flash a kernel thru odin? Are you even booting at all?

My phone very often lost mobile network It also catch edge when others phones get 3g.
I tried to flash modem from latest stock rom for my region.
Mobile odin ver. 3.76. It's really strange that it flash something.
Now when I start it got "unsupported device"
I had WanamLite and KT kernel when I flash. Device shows as i9505. May be it is reason why it flash.

get into recovery and flash a kernel made for your device. it will boot.

check the bootloader you have and flash the .tar firmware using odin.
get this app called phone info from the market "link"
check the bootloader : MF9, MDL, MK2
after that look for the firmware.tar that matches your bootloader file and flash it using odin, it will wipe your phone clean! once you get the samsung and sprint boot logo you may get stuck on that. since your phone is not longer rooted use the stock recovery " power + Vol up " to clean cache and do a data wipe. and reboot. once the phone boots you can root and start all over. :highfive:

what baseband did you flash???
if you flash the .tar for MJA should restore your baseband. Try this tar file : here

uhmm well last thing i would try is yo flash the MK2 tar back to stock and go from there.
here
Instructions:
1. Download tar.md5 from above and download Odin
2. Put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted)
3. Open Odin (right click > open as administrator)
4. Load stock tar into the PDA slot
5. Start flashing
6. Grab some popcorn because it will take a while
7. Profit

[Q]sgh-i337 or i9500?

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

910f 4.4 -> 5.0.1

Hi. I have a NOTE 4 running ANK4 android 4.4 rooted with CWRP.
My question is: In order to flash a STOCK 5.0.1 tar from sammobile, what are the steps I need to follow?
Do I simply have to get the tar file and flash it through Odin?
Do I have to unroot/remove custom recovery first?
Do I have to factory reset and reset cache?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

hi,
your first question is correct
if you flash you will automatically lose root and recovery.. (no need to unroot and remove custom recovery..)
read my post #2 in this thread.. see link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3068738
for snapshot and more details
lastly it up to you if you want to factory reset etc.. it is not necessary
good luck

Download the file from www.samfirmware.com, make sure you have the CORRECT firmware for your SPECIFIC phone model.
While you are on the download page, there is an instruction, which I copied below:
Instructions:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.09
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
You don't need to root or do anything, just MAKE SURE that "Reactivation Lock" under Settings>Security is DE-ACTIVATED.
You don't necessarily have to do a Reset, but if you are having problems with force closing apps, battery drain etc... then do a Reset.
Good luck

Ok I just did that, ODIN said passed but literally nothing happened to the phone? lmao. It still shows android 4.4

I'm sorry, I'm a retard. I had a 4.4 backup in case things went south and I flashed that instead of the lollipop. All is good now, lmao.

[Q] Please Help! Cant Flash Recovery!

Ive been going so crazy trying for about 15 hours total now trying to root and get a custom recovery on my phone, for some reason, nothing will work. I do have alot of experience with rooting and ive done just about everything, attempting to get this phone to flash a custom recovery.
ATT SGH i337
4.4.4
KTU84P.I337UCUFNJ4
I am currently rooted, but i cannot get a custom recovery. I have just tried this method,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297033
with that tool, however after running it, it successfully flashes the recovery, then boots me into the Odin Mode Download screen with the picture of an android. Same thing with trying any other method of flashing a recovery. Can someone please tell me how to get past this, im so exhausted trying to fix this. I tried factory reseting my phone from the phones settings and even that brought me back to the download screen with a picture of an android. I cant get into any recovery at all! Stock or custom it sends me back to that screen.
How can i flash a custom recovery and get this working? Thank you guys in advance

You're on nj4. Safestrap is the only recovery you're going to be able to use. Read the stickies in the general forum

i installed the proper NJ4 safestrap apk and pressed install recovery, however it still says it is not installed "reboot to recovery" is greyed out. Upon booting into recovery, i am still stuck in Odin mode. Anyway for me to stop odin mode from continuing to come up instead of recovery?.

I would guess the system is looking for stock recovery, and it isn't there any more due to your flashing the CWM OUDHS recovery and/or TWRP. You probably need to put the stock recovery back.

I know and I've been trying to find out a way to do that. Could you help me if that's what I need to do? Once I reinstall stock recovery will safestrap work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app

I would suggest that you flash nb1 then nb4, root and install safestrap. At this point, a clean install is your best bet. Refer to this thread in the general forum.

U can get stock recovery back by either flashing the whole stock firmware via odin or extracting the recovery image from the firmware and flashing it by its self via odin I don't know anything about safestrap as I'm on Canadian version some one else can hopfully help u out with tht

I read what you posted and I don't entirely understand. Could you point to me to a download a maybe dumb it down a bit?

You are on NJ4 (I337UCUFNJ4). There is no flashable "whole stock firmware" for that version. There is a flashable whole stock firmware for the NJ1 version (I337UCUFNB1). Also, there is no easy way to "extract the recovery image out of the firmware and flash it by its self via odin." The reason for this is that you need a .tar archive to flash in odin, so if you extract just the recovery, you then need a Linux box, or a Linux virtual machine running on your windows pc to make the tar file from it.
This is why I suggested that you flash the NB1 full stock firmware, and then flash the upgrade to NJ4 from stock recovery, as outlined in the guide I linked.
As you asked for a little more detailed help, I'll try to walk you through following the Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Safestrap Guide.
First, read through post #1 and the FAQ in post #3. Next, you need to decide what version you want to end up with. Let's assume that you want to end with NJ4 -- KitKat 4.4.4. (If you want to end with OC3 -- Lollipop 5.0.1, then the instructions are a little different.)
In post #2, under the section titled NJ4 -- KitKat 4.4.4 expand Step 1 - Odin to stock. The files you need to download are at the top of this section. Follow the steps; they are pretty self explanatory. Part 1 installs full stock NB1, and Part 2 installs the upgrade to NJ4.
You are now on fully stock NJ4. If you want to root and install Safestrap, expand Step 2 -- Root and Install Safestrap. The files you need to download are at the top of this section. Again, the steps are pretty self explanatory.
That's it. If you want to now install custom firmware, you are ready, or you can just stay on stock if you prefer.

Yes and i did everything under the NJ4 Kitkat 4.4.4 section. I am rooted and everything worked except for safestrap. I open it and press install recovery and everytime it finishes it says "state:Not Installed". And reboot to recovery is greyed out. Upon manually rebooting into recovery mode, i am in normal stock recovery.
I cant use the selinux mode changer it says. To root i didnt use towelroot because installing the NC1 kernel disables my wifi connection, and since the phone has no service, i had to use KingO Root. I have confirmed root access using root checker. But Safestrap wont work.
What do i do? Is safestrap not working because i didnt root with towelroot? I assumed it didnt quite matter how i rooted. If it is because of towelroot, then how do i get towel root to work while on the NC1 kernel with no wifi and no cell service?

Update: I found a selinux Mode changer apk on xda and installed it. I tried it and safestrap still would not work and said "not installed". I also reflashed the NC1 Kernel and the same thing happened. I booted into recovery for confirmation.
I guess its maybe because i didnt root with towelroot? But it is impossible without phone service because flashing NC1 disables the wifi. Please reply as soon as you can

I can't help with your current issue with safestrap because I don't own this phone. I have worked on my son's S4, and a couple of others that have come through my hands. I have performed the exact process you just used with no issues.
I would suggest you post your issues in the guide thread where someone who has more experience with safestrap can help.
