[Q] soft brick help

im kinda new to the whole rooting/rom thing, i rooted my s4 successfully, but when i went to install the rom i thought it was on my usb retardedly, so i wiped my phone, hooked up the usb, and it wasnt there. it said my phone was unrooted and asked me if i wanted to instal s2 to root it i hit yes, and now the phone wont boot up past samsung galaxy s4 home screen. i was using TWRP but it wont even open ... help me please im freakin out, prolly broke my phone i just bought it a week ago.
edit: okay so after trying like 15x twrp finally opened up. i put the backup i made onto my pc. do i just load it onto my usb, hook it up and go twrp > restore > usb-otg and restore it?
edit2: i go to restore but it shows nothing in my usb.
im freaking out again help please >.< do i need a file to install/where can i get it to get back to stock?

Download Odin and a rom in .tar format. Hold the volume down and power button to go into download mode. Then connect to usb and see the com port pop up, then select the pda tab and browse to the tar file. Then flash that. It will install stock firmware and recovery or rooted firmware and custom recovery based on what tar file you download.
If that sounds like too much to take in, and I suck at writing this kind of stuff up, do a YouTube search for sprint s4 unbrick/unroot and it should show all the steps.

Yea you should return to Stock Firmware. It should solve your issue.

Always, read and double check, even triple check before you mess with your phone. You should be alright if you follow previous post instructions.

First thing you should do now is make a nandroid backup and backup your applications with Titanium Backup.

I rooted my phone and tried to flash a rom and something happened that told me I lost root permission and now part of the screen is unresponsive help! Please

Did you make sure the ROM you installed was for the sprint gs4 and not an international one ?

Here the MF9 tar stock you can odin it to go back to full stock if you want to start from fresh
Sent from my SPH-L720

Firstly b calm.
Panicking wont help.jst do as the op said. Flashing ur way thru odin.
Before that do double check the version dat it support ur device.pay attention to this.n do calmly.
N the more u try more r d chances of getting thru the prob.
Do search for s4 backup n restore it.
Or repair via kies.
Keep posted
Good luck.
Hit thanks if I helped u..

No not with pit file..it'll go even more deeper...don't mess with that..
Just simply flash the stock rom JB. which i guess u were using n flash it via odin.
it'll solve the bootloop...
:highfive:
N only flash stock rom for ur device model...
post the results and post the screenshots if u can would be helpful..

Do I flash kernel or is it inside the tar file?

The kernel is already inside the tar file that is inside the zip, the kernel is just there if you need stock MF9 kernel. If you can go back to stock with odin theres no need for kies.

My Fastboot Isn't Working Any IDEA?!

Hey guyz
My LG G2 Device is recently hard bricked
and I am stuck at fastboot
but it is not fully working
If I type fastboot devices I get
"? fastboot"
then I tried fastboot reboot n I get
"rebooting..."
But nothing actually happens and phone never reboots :\
Any IDEA Any ONE ?!

Do you know the exact model of your phone. Please check before you continue because toy can further brick your phone if you do not flash the right stuff. Also it would be helpful to know what ROM you were running previously. KitKat or lollipop?

Have you tried manually shoring pins to get into 9006 mode? There is a guide here somewhere that tell you how to do it.

Oh. One last thing, make sure your battery ribbon cable is disconnected and USB is connected to the computer when you are shorting the pins. Also, make sure every connector is connected otherwise you will risk break your screen.

Yeah I was able to get in qhusb_bulk mode and in windows 8.1 64bit it was showing lots of disks asking to be formatted.
Then I installed ubuntu on virtual machine and tried to flash images with dd command and those were successful. I unpluged the usb and put the buttons plate back and restarted the phone but still no download mode. I even flashed twrp recovery but NOTHING!
and something that i noticed today that my phones motherboard is once changed and its d801 tmobile and not d800 :\
and something about my ubuntu, on virtual machine it recognizes the phone but disconnect/reconnects after 10secs automatically.
How can I use SRK Tool?
And I have to add In my device manager it shows qhsusub_bulk with a yellow icon meaning its not recognized Is that a problem? do i have to find drivers?

Download these drivers for qualcomm it will change it to qualcomm ... 9006 mode instead of QHSUSBBULK. http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1308601930
Srk tool is very easy to use. What device model do you have? Also, go ahead and install srk tool in windows there is a thread for the dowbload link

Lg flash language is Korean I guess it shows me lots of question marks

V0.30 I think flashfire..Do you have verizon account? I allowed people to get files from my dropbox but now they limited my account.. have you been on rooted 5 for a bit? Jasmine is no big difference except for xposed

And they are in the midst of unlocking the phone so maybe just enjoy being rooted have you seen the thread for xposed? If you can put that on its the same as jasmine...I gave you all the steps earlier. .the only I could think of...can you screenshot your phone settings after you root and all?

[HELP] S5 will not boot

Hello all,
I have a completely stock VZW S5. Yesterday after restarting be cause it was a bit laggy it went into a boot loop. "Galaxy S5" screen comes up then about 7-10 seconds later goes black and I feel two quick vibrate pulses and it repeats.... Does this indefinitely.
I am unable to boot to normal safe mode or recovery mode. I can however boot to Download mode which brings me here.
What are your suggestions. I read somewhere that since I can boot to download it is likely a software issue. Thoughts? Suggest would be greatly appreciated.
And FWIW I am completely noob in this world of rooting so talk slowly! lol
Thank you,

Try pulling the battery then boot into recovery. From there you could try:
1. Clearing cache
2. Factory reset
If you absolutely can't boot into anything except download mode, you could try to use Odin to reload whichever ROM you were on. Good luck!

2. Factory reset
If you absolutely can't boot into anything except download mode, you could try to use Odin to reload whichever ROM you were on. Good luck!

I am thinking I have toe go the Odin route. I can't boot into anything other than download.
I have a mac so that makes things more difficult. I have downloaded JODNI3 and Heimdall in preparation that I will have to go this route. However since I cannot get on my phone, I can't lookup my version I have to pick a stock ROM. And I have no idea what I would do even if I could pick it.

If you can use Odin, you can pick any stock OEM ROM.

Where can I get them? The ones I have found are from files exchange sites and the download time is 15-20hrs unless I pay $20 for a "premium" membership.
And once I find a stock ROM where can I find info on how to use JODIN3? Like what section do I upload the ROM file to??

The are several places here to find the OEM ROM you need, but I can't help you with a Mac. Again, there are instructions here on how to use Odin for a PC.

And how can I find my Baseband Version if I am unable to boot the phone?

I've never paid attention to baseband version. I've just used Odin to load the OEM ROM for my carrier.

But if I can't boot and access my device how can I get the ROM version off it?

It's not that hard. I just used Odin and loaded PB1 LP followed by PD1 MM the next day.

You just need to put your phone in download mode then use Odin to flash a tar

If you don't care about rooting, just Odin the PD1 tar.

No the file: G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5
I am loading in the PDA slot. I do not have anything in the PIT slot. Is that correct? Again note I am using Jodin3 so not sure of the differences to Odin on PC.

Odin 3.11 AP slot
