Don't give up so easy. ... If you tell us what kinda root method did u use it might help us to help you figure it out what is your firmware. ....MF3 use jortex method to root. ...(format your sd card to exfat and use terminal emulator)......If already on 4.3 MK2 u should use SAFEROOT METHOD from Verizon forum. .... follow my thread..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080.... it will get u back on track. ...... If u are MF3 just use MF3.tar files from first post. ....If u think u are Mk2 using that one click tool..... (Most likely u are MK2 already. ... Since u said u upgraded to 4.3 and root doesn't work anymore).... Then u should go to post#3 follow the guide. .....u should be ok..... save that money.... If u need more help PM me......

Im having similar woes. I had problems installing a ROM, softbricked, tried restore to 4.2.2, wouldnt go, tried updating (stupidly) to 4.3 got obKNOXious (had no clue then about knox) tripped knox by trying to go back to 4.2.2 and got firmware update fail. Stuck with no recovery, nor any way of repairing. I tried many versions of ODIN, both kies emergency firmware update options, and heimdall. Heimdall seems promising as i have been able to flash a custom recovery with --no-reboot and reboot using pwr+home+vlup, and i get a warning about tripping knox but it boots into custom recovery. I am able to flash (CM11 for example) but it gives me kernel trips on knox and shuts down on boot. i saw your other thread about the mf3 and mk3 but im not sure if they would work for my variant. no matter what i try i cant get this paperweight to its former glory. local repair center said they wont do anything as knox warranty = tripped. no best buy samsung centers in my area. someone please help.

OK im shocked but somehow i made this work. i used to kies to download firmware by using firmware upgrade and initialization under tools and grabbing the firmware from windows user/appdata/local/temp folder after kies finished downloading (as it starts decompressing)(faster than waiting to download from sammobile). i then pulled all files out of md5 using 7zip, and used heimdall to flash all files to their respective partitions/mountpoints. rebooted still no recovery nor boot. tried again and nothing. i then tried a custom recovery and it gave me seandroid enforcing RECOVERY and restart. so then i tried flashing custom recovery again using heimdall with --no-reboot switch and rebooted with volup+home+pwr and then i was able to enter custom recovery. so i wiped data and cache rebooted got nothing, no recovery no boot just dl mode. so i then reflashed stock rom through heimdall and rebooted, got stock recovery which would try to do something (progress bar appeared) and bootlooped. so i reflashed custom recovery again wiped cache and data and /data /media option (which took longer even though no extsdcard present, which puzzled me) and this time i tried to mount system in recovery and got an error. so i formated /system and it mounted fine. rebooted no boot no recovery. flashed custom recovery wiped /data /media, /cache, /dalvik, formated /sdcard, /system, /data, /cache, mounted /system and rebooted right into download mode and flashed stock image but this time with --no-reboot switch and once finished i manually rebooted into recovery. recovery did its thing and i finally i got a boot animation and glowing led, left it for 10 minutes and it was at samsung setup screen. unplugged my phone instantly died. no boot no recovery. repeated last step but once in samsung os i went to settings backup and reset menu and reset the phone from there. it went into recovery on its own, erased and rebooted and it seems to work fine now (fingers crossed, its only been ten minutes (relatively little compared to this 2 week ordeal.) Oddly enough kies downloaded a bell version although my phone is fido
Please lend a hand to help me rectify a problem.
Started earlier today by CF-Auto-Root my New Rogers SGH-i1337m, installed without incident via Odin 3.07, followed up with TWRP 2.7 install, again via Odin, without incident, then created NANDROID backup to ext sdcard.
First issues started cropping up, but culminating in what appears to be soft bricking:
1st) Could not mount internal memory (was attempting to browse in Windows) via TWRP. Every time I would select internal memory it would mount the sd card contents only. Weird, but pales compared to further issues.
2nd) Was preparing to install Custom ROM, boot into TWRP, attempted factory reset but this just constantly restarted TWRP. Thought this was strange so I figured Id use Goomanager to update TWRP, occurred without incident and I went back to attempt to factory reset, but then trouble started.
3rd) Boot looping, could not boot back into the OS. Decided I would attempt to restore my Nandroid backup, TWRP loads fine but restore didn't work. Figured Id try flashing back to stock rom (obtained RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040 via links in other comments. This is where things got out of control:
A) Restore via Odin 3.07 failed, device restart failedbut loaded the "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue..." screen.
B) Attempted redownloading the stock rom, new usb port, new oem cable, reinstalled drivers, and with each Odin would fail as follows:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_I337MVLUEMK6_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<ID:0/004> system.img.ext4
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
C) Briefly TWRP would not load, so I reflashed 2.7.0.1 for openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-jfltecan without incident, TWRP reloaded fine, could now do factory reset, but often end up getting could not mount /system. Now using TWRP to restore theNANDRPID from earlier seemed to rebuild the partitions and said it was successful, and the device will boot to a static Samsung screen, but after 20 mins of waiting, would not boot farther.
D) At this point tried to reflash w Odin 3.07 the stock, but still get that error.
So here is where I'm at, with what appears to get me the closest to booting/flashing with stock:
1) Reflashed openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-jfltecan.tar with Odin 3.07, immediately following this:
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/004> RES OK !!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
..and the device hangs @ "Samsung Galaxy S4" black screen, letting that sit for 15mins without any change (didn't expect it to, but may as well be complete).
2) TWRP is bootable (load screen says Recovery is not SEANDROID ENFORCED and Set Warranty Bit: recovery) and functional, rebooting recovery states "No OS installed, are you sure you want to restart? ". Interestingly with 2.7.0.1 now installed, i can factory reset but with errors "E: unable to mount '/system". In TWRP, i have tried restore of my NANDROID backup, it completes successfully and appears to rebuild the partitions, but even after completing the restore and rebooting, still end up hanging at the static Samsung screen for >20mins without a change. I could transpose the entire log from the restore if needed.
3) At this point I would try Odin 3.07 with the above stock image, and the failure when attempting to write system occurs again.
Ive been searching for hours and hours and attempting to reflash but not making any headway.
Could anyone help point me in some better directions? I just finished attempting KIES emergency restore, but it too failed when it tried to upload to the device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You've done all the right things. The only other thing I can think of is using a different firmware version in Odin.

Perhaps I should try flashing a custom rom? Maybe something like CM 10.2?
I think the problem lies with a possible permission problem with the system partition, but I don't know how to go about checking those permissions, let alone correcting a possible fault.
Thoughts?
Did you factory reset in stock recovery before you installed twrp?

I believe so, but it has been several iterations of different attempts to fix things that I cannot be certain any longer.
Let's pretend I didn't, for arguments sake. Implications?
Furthermore, I have created some life back into the device; however, still having problems.
1) Using ODIN 3.09, I successfully flashed TWRP back on to the device.
2) With TWRP, I successfully flashed CM 10.2. The device loads completely into the OS--the only thing I cannot confirm yet is full telephone functionality as my backup phone is what was reconnected to ROGERS. So.....there is life in this thing yet.
3) With TWRP, I have successfully created NANDROID backup of the device under 10.2 and used it to restore after a few failed attempts at getting to stock.
So here's a problem for right now: No matter what source stock ROM I have been using, I337MVLUFNC1_I337MOYAFNC1_I337MVLUFNC1_HOME.tar.md5 or I337MVLUFNC1_880525_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI (both are what were claimed to be stock 4.4.2 for sgh-i337m ROGERS), it consistently fails in ODIN when flashing system.
I can easily then reflash TWRP (because the ODIN flashing the above stock breaks the recovery image), get into TWRP and restore the CM10.2 NANDROID, and at least back in business there.
I'm about to try flashing (again, but likely fruitlessly) RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040.zip from samsung-updates.com via ODIN 3.09. I don't have much hope that ODIN will get it onto the device.
Seems to me like perhaps ODIN can't get the stock roms onto the device for some reason!? Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps someone can point me to a stock 4.3 (or 4.4.2) ROM for ROGERS SGH-i337M that is known to work (or at least deemed reliable) that I could try? Perhaps ODIN is messed up for me?
I'm pretty frustrated as I would think if I can install via TWRP a custom kernel and custom ROM, I should be able to get the stock ROM/etc. back onto the device.
Perhaps I'm missing a step?
TWRP: Wipe> Factory Reset then wipe Cache.
Reboot into Download Mode
ODIN 3.09: Added!! --> AP Select my stock ROM (any of the above), only have Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time selected, start (then fail in my case).
Perhaps I should find another computer!? I have two OEM cables, tried both ports......
This is ridiculously frustrating.
Which bootloader are you on?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
Just wanted to say that I got burned by TRWP a few days ago due to the same issues.
1) Flashed a custom kernel days before. Was working fine but didn't like the performance of the new kernel so I decided to restore my backups of /boot and /system.
2) Did the restore. Cleared /cache and dalvik. Reboot.
3) Stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 bootloader screen.
4) Tried to reboot into TWRP, but didn't work. Would just cause phone to automatically restart and hang at the bootloader screen.
5) After many many reboots, was able to finally boot into TWRP.
6) Flashed a custom ROM based the original stock ROM I had installed and that got me up and running again. No data loss as I never touched /data with TWRP.
I'm currently experimenting with CWM and Philz. TWRP, never again.

Uncertain at this point -- any way to determine that or just flash a known decent one?
Interestingly: CM10.2.1 everything works except for calls and any other sound on the device. ......this is ridiculous.

Upon more research, I guess I have a knox bootloader since I have a Knox 0x1 trip.

Without knowing exactly, theres more trial and error ... so ill give you an example: you can't flash 4.2.2 firmware.tar.md5 over a 4.4.2 bootloader (which sounds like you may have )in odin anymore due to knox. What I can suggest to you that should work is go to sammobile.com and download the latest 4.4.2 official firmware for the 1337m and follow the instructions precisely on the download page.

Once you download it and its installed make sure to turn off your phone and boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset and if you really want to be clean flash the firmware again and all your problems should be gone

Ok, I'll give it a go and report findings as follows (decided to try a different computer to eliminate that fact too):
1) sammobile.com --> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26590 - PDA - I337MVLUFNC1, CSC - I337MOYAFNC1, etc.
2) Downloaded and installed fresh 3.09 from sammobile per instructions.
3) Successfully flashed this firmware, phone returning back to normal as official kernel and official rom, knox warranty tripped still, but that's the way it goes.
SO: Moral of the story - ensure that not just using any kind of virtualization software to try and do flashing, use a proper PC. I hope somehow this finds its way to some other schlub that messes this up.
ROGERS is sending me a new phone anyway other problems involving sound and I was within 15 day return. Lucky me I guess...
I guess the next time around I'll need a closer look at avoiding knox tripping...
It works for me

Thank you!! It works for me. It's very important to do a clean flash. :good:
I am having a crazy issue I can't seem to fix with my i337. I am trying to revert back to stock and I ran odin I get a pass notification but when I reboot my phone prompts that I have unauthorized software on my phone an to contact AT&T. I can't seem to make this work and I can't boot into recovery. Any ideas on what may help. Feeling pretty lost at this point.
Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!
It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

I am trying to flash NAE tar and have tried the NG2. Both result in the errors mentioned above.
I also have gone into stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

can you post the log from odin? Also what version of odin are you using? have you tried flashing Phil's Recovery and maybe just installing a ROM?

There's the log. I can't install a custom recovery either. It acts like it is installing correctly, but when it reboots it is still stock recovery.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.
have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I got philz custom recovery finally, and was able to flash NG2 pre-rooted, but the baseband version is old and wifi/data isn't working. I'm trying to flash the NG2 Modem.tar under the phone tab in odin, but i receive fail auth still and secure check fail: apnhlos.
I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?
Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.
So i thought i had a back up of my stock recovery on my SD card but it seem i left it on my phone. lol
does any on have a back up of the stock recovery for S7 edge ATT (SM-G935A).
been trying to look around cant find the stock recovery keep finding a stock firmware and not recovery.
any help would be appreciated. thx. Would even donate if i worked.

Well when flashing the different recoveries. I was trying to get working it said back up current recovery in Flashify so I did but forgot to move it to my SD card. then i flashed it thats where i was pretty sure that recoveries were different files but written the same way as roms or AP's in ODIN. but then when I went to test it out my phone is stuck in a boot loop with no recovery and I've been trying to use ODIN to try and flash a stock on but it keeps failing.

That is your firmware , correct . Unrar it and put it in the correct ODIN slots and flash .
PB5 and newer versions have been posted for a while now. Flash the latest and you'll be fine
Yea thanks all the help guys. Called Samsung and acted like the phone just stated doing it then she was like take it to your nearest best buy and have them reflash it so after I took it up there they used there ODIN like program and then boom! it was working.
Ok ive never messed with android before, and have spent hours n hours etc reading and trying things... and have failed ;(
Tried to play with TWRP or whatever etc... that didnt work
Ive got a S4 ATT i337 that is on 4.2.2 it has some custom FW on it and its UNLOCKED.
I was using this a while back on TMOBILE so it IS unlocked (from AT&T)...
Ive tried to boot into recovery to SET IT BACK to STOCK (1st) then (so I could put it on 7.1)
I get a ATTENTION message that appears and says: System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off and goto the nearest at&t store... (not happing haha)
I Have found the original FW for my ATT I337...
If anyone can help me in simple english of HOW to etc It would be a big xmas present to me !!!
Thanks in advance
Is the bootloader locked? If yes, you cannot run custom roms based on anything other than a stock Samsung rom.
Could you tell me how I can check to see if the bootloader is locked ? and I will
I read something somewhere about the baseband it ends in MF3
and Kernal version 3.4.0-812098
I dont know WHICH or WHAT ROM is loaded onto it but it IS version 4.2.2 android

Download terminal emulator app from play store. Open it and type "getprop ro.bootloader" without the " "
It will give you some letters and numbers. If the last 3 are anything but MDL or MDB then your bootloader is locked and you have to use safe strap and can only boot Samsung ROMs.
Stoney: Thanks for the reply... So I got the terminal an it replied I337UCUAMF3...
Can you tell me the next step ?
(Ill google and get SAFE STRAP)....
what file would I use with safestrap ? Can I still put Android 7.1 on this ?
Thanks in advance !!

If the bootloader is locked, and it looks to me like it is, you wont' be able to install Nougat or MM ROMs.
understandable ! Thanks for the info !!
So I have android 4.2.2 on it now (remember at&t i337 S4)....
is there a newer ROM like android 5 or 6 I can put onto it ? (stock ?)
I DID get safestrap and installed that

Don't think there is any custom MM but there may be a custom LP but a custom LP may require an updated bootloader and modem.
I would consult the ROM threads located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-7-4-t3476519
well I screwed up LOL ;(
I did a backup of my ROM with safestrap (its on the SD Card) and tried to write the file and now phone is stuck on attention yellow symbol ;(
I CAN boot into the DOWNLOADING but odin just sits there ;(
I guess phone now = garbage ;(

the phone DOES appear in odin
Im using a motorla cable but does still fully work....
I also can get the phone into DL mode (pwr down,home,power)
and it WILL take a Download....
when it boots up it does says SAMSUNG and CUSTOM and a UNLOCKED Padlock...
But I guess I cant find the correct files ;( as it always goes to the attention from att detected blah blah blah software....
Id just be happy to get this to the newest ATT Stock FW and then unlock it I believe it is called 4.4.2 and im on 4.2
or IF it exists would be nice to get to at least 5.0 to use android auto

Bootloader is definitely locked based on Odin log.
This may help to restore the phone and upgrade the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814

I'm not sure how the phone had a custom rom and a locked bootloader and now has a locked bootloader.
Which rom was on the phone running?
I believe it was somewhat a stock firmware, nothing looked "fancy" compared to a regular at&t firmware but it was DEF unlocked as I used to have a tmobile sim in it ....
but it still boots up with SAMSUNG and a unlocked padlock and then the samsung ring animation, then the AT&T logo, now it just boots u the samsung unlock "custom" and then to the yellow exclamation point about non at&t software.
