Hi!
I'm not really new to this, but still. I have SGH-i337 At&t. Galaxy S4.
I was using Imperium rom for like a 1.5 years. Couple of days ago, I decided to go on Lollipop 5.0.1
Downloaded Albe95 S6 port for S4 v 2-0. Did everything by rules, don't really remember what I was doing, but got the firmware installed normally. I was using my phone for couple of days.
I have a second S4 AT&T. I was doing an unlock to that one. Accidentally I have switched them and installed OC3 or NJ4 stock Kernel (don't remember) to the one I was talking about before, that had Albe95 S6 Lollipop 5.0.1 port ---> then my phone soft bricked.
Got scared a little, but figured things out and used in one thread soft bricked I337MK2_Combined_Odin_Tar to resolve soft brick.
Eventually I came with i337 mk2 (STOCK) v. 4.3.
Afterwards, I'm wanting 5.0.1 lollipop anyway. I want to return it. So I have somehow installed and got to i337 UCUFNB1.
From here I can't do anything. My root is ON. used TowelRoot v3. SafeStrap not working only two buttons are on. Install and Uninstall. Cant load to Recovery. Cant odin flash to MK2 again. "FAIL" comes up. cant do anything. need help. I want Lollipop 5.0.
When I try to flash through ODIN. Nothing except ucunfb1 firmware flashes. Only that one.
I've had that problem with Odin. Try going to stock recovery and wiping cache, you may have to do a factory reset. You may have to install busy box and SuperSU, then try to install safestrap.

Sup guys. I have a problem with my S4. I doubt anyone will be able to help me find a fix but its worth a try. I hope someone will help.
Anyway, I flashed my GT-i9500 (Galaxy S4) from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Now it doesnt boot, It just gets stuck at the 2nd boot screen. Its not even a bootloop. It just hangs there. The S4 sound that plays gets cut like halfway.
I tried flashing a lot of different ROMS, and it still does the same thing. When I rooted it, I noticed the boot welcome sound plays full, but it still hangs after that.
I used Philz Recovery and mounted all the folders etc, but efs says invalid. So that means the EFS folder is messed. I get that, but I cannot repair the EFS if I cant boot the phone, I need the Samsung MTP **** for Samsung Tool to work. I have an N7100 (Note 2) Where I repaired the EFS with Samsung Tool, I was able to boot the phone.
I looked ALL over the net including this forum and found nothing. Right now the phone is just worth nothing. This is my last option, to ask here myself. If it cant be fixed I just cut my losses and get another phone.
I also flashed a PIT file, CSC file, Modem file during the period I was trying to get this fixed. If anybody knows this problem, It'll be very helpful.
Thanks.
you could try upgrading to 4.4, i have all the files for omega v21
heres the link for all the stuff from my google drive.

instal the bootloader and phone file via odin, bl = bootloader cp = goes into the phone part of odin
then fash the rom via philz recovery, worth a try !!
good luck
That wouldn't work, thats for the Snapdragon variant I think. The i9505. I have the i9500. I'll download the Omega ROM for i9500 and try it anyway.
Thanks.
Still doesnt work.

Did you tried complete of phone, than power and vol up, at the buzz lose vol up and at loge lose power button.
and then flash with odin bl. and modem
etc.
I've flashed with Odin & Recovery.
I flashed another bootloader, XXUEMK8 & Odexed Knox Free Stock ROM XXEUMK8 & it still does the same. I dont know whats wrong with it.
Another thing I forgot to mention is if I root it using Odin, the welcome sound plays full and it hangs, and if I reboot it, the welcome sound goes back to cutting off again.
This phone probably cant be fixed. I dont know wtf's wrong with this phone. This is WORSE than hard bricked.
oh & as I mentioned before, I have a Galaxy Note 2 & had an EFS problem with it. I fixed it, the difference was this Note 2 actually booted properly with any ROM installed. I used a Z3X Box & Samsung Tool to fix up the EFS. Maybe this problem is only with i9500 or with i9500 & newer models.
Eeeer don't mean to point out the obvious here but you did do a factory reset in stock recovery after flashing stock 4.3 in Odin? That's all you needed to do at the start.
When I went from 4.2 to 4.3 I couldn't get it to boot at all unless I performed factory reset after flash.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
I came from a rooted Samsung org. rom 4.3 to omega v21.1 Android 4.4.2
After this i tried slimkat, and had from first start the same issue, no booting.
Nothing works
only starting with power and vol. up as descried above, I could flash XXUFNA5 bootloader & modems.
After this twrp.
And at last I flashed S4 Google Edition - 4.4.2, a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S 4
Thanks for the help people.
I gave up on trying. I tried everything even factory reset after flashing, different ROMS, different Android versions. 4.1.2, 4.2.2 & 4.3. Today I ended up selling the phone's LCD. Atleast I didnt everything. lol. Wouldn't be buying another Samsung EVER. I was thinking I need another box and stuff, like NSPRO but I dont have that.
Hello everyone, i'm a new member. I apologize if my english is not good enough.
After been driven insane by one pre-installed app from my Operator (Claro Peru) i decided that it was time to root my device to get rid from that pest. I'm a noob, so i started to investigate about the safest methods to not damage my phone. My Device's model is SGH I337m.
The plan was to update the FW from JB 4.3 that came with my phone to 4.4.2 and then proceed to root. I downloaded the Canadian 4.4.2 FW with build version I337MVLUFNC1 and installed manually with Odin. After the phone rebooted, my S4 was upgraded with 4.4.2 but Samsumg keyboard was going insane, so i went to the apps and solved that cleaning the cache/data. Then i noticed that the Wifi wasn't connected, i tried to turn it on, but then a message with a shield appeared saying that my device security stopped the operation. Beliving it was only a problem with KNOX, i installed autoroot (CF-Auto-Root-jfltecan-jfltevl-sghi337m) with Odin, open SuperSU and stopped it from working, but the Wifi still wouldn't connect.
So the first thing that crossed my mind was to unroot and do a factory reset, didn't work. The FW still was 4.4.2, so i´ve been searching solutions with this FW because i've read some cases of devices that stopped working completely after trying to do a downgrade. so i don't want to go to that route for now.
After a couple hours of search, some solutions i found on the forum were:
- Install Faux123 Kernel (Found on Youtube, this would be the thread i think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273437http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273437
- Flash a modem for i337m
- Safestrap recovery and bypasslkm.zip
- Downgrade
I haven't tried any of this methods because i dont want to get into a deeper trouble. In the first solution i'm not sure what to do because this is the files the author recommends for canadian models (i337m), but when i enter here http://faux.romhost.me/jflteatt/jb42/http://faux.romhost.me/jflteatt/jb42/ only jflteatt appears, and that would be i337 model, isn't it? I thought that installing it may cause more troubles, so i didn't do it.
For the flashing modem method, i'm not really sure if installing a modem from another country would get me in trouble, so again i didn't proceed.
I found the Safestrap and recovery method on a downgrade thread for the i337, so again, didn't do it.
So, is there a way to get one of this methods working on i337m to get wifi working again, or is there any other better method to get back wifi.
I would really appreciate any help you can give me guys.

ok so you have the i337m canadian version... making anything related to safestrap and the att i337 irrelevant, completely different methods so don't get them confused lol
you were updating from stock 4.3 right? your best bet is to factiry reset and reflash stock fw for 4.4.2 before you brick your device... kitkat is very different from 4.3, maybe read up on it a bit too...
for ex, the "message with a shield appeared saying that my device security stopped the operation" isn't related to needing to root, it's an option under security settings.
to enable superuser on kitkat you need to enable developer options, then enable superuser. I prefer supersu so manually install that from play store afterwards. I recommend checking and/or enabling this as soon as the phone completes booting up after flashing.
also I think there's a known issue w/ 4.4.2 and wifi not turning on until after 2nd boot completed if I rememebr correctly, been using 4.4.4 for awhile now though so could be wrong...
good luck and check out the help section :angel:
OK...I soft bricked my Note 3. Here are the specifics.
Verizon Note 3 Retail
4.4.2 OTA firmware
Had SafeStrap installed
Had GeoHot rooted
I started out wanting to throw a custom ROM on my phone through SafeStrap. I couldnt get the Eclipse ROM to load into SafeStraps ROM slots. After much failure and the ROM not loading I had wiped EVERYTHING. Not a problem as I figured I would start over. Now my Note 3 seems to be bootlooping in the Samsung logo. My question is this.
How do I get out of this softbrick?
And how do I finally get this eclipse ROM to be my daily driver? Had lots of fun with my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but this is giving me some issues.
Hi there! Recently I updated my phone after using KitKat for quite a while as I grew a bit bored of KitKat and thought Lollipop would do some good. Previously, I had KitKat then went to Lollipop but I didn't like Lollipop so I flashed to KitKat. Then, after some time I am where I am now, stuck on Lollipop. So I am trying to revert back to KitKat again, but on my computer after I load KitKat into Odin and press start, the console log gets stuck on aboot.mbn. Everything works fine until that point, which it then just sits there. My phone also displays a loading bar on the download mode, but sits at the very beginning. Something is wrong here. I would really appreciate any help.
Somethings you may need to know:
- Yes I have successfully gone back to KitKat before on the same phone.
- I have the correct Verizon Retail KitKat Software
- I have Odin 3.0.9
- I am running 5.0.1
- I have done a factory reset and cleared cache partition as well, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks, I look forward to your feedback!
Did you update OTA or flash the safe 5.0.1 update using odin? If you took the OTA upgrades then you are stuck, you will NOT be able to flash that phone again.

I did download a security update after the initial 5.0.1 update, so I'm guessing that's what's doing it? Right after I posted my thread I saw the warning in this forum area, so I think that may be the case. I guess oh well, think there maybe a solution in the future for KitKat? Lollipop isn't too bad after a reset but I would prefer KitKat over time.
Hi all
I am a silent reader of this forum since long but for the first time I feel like as if I am in a real trouble. A couple of days ago I got a Note 3 International version N9005 Snapdragon from a friend. It was running on 4.3 rooted version so I tried to update it to 5.0 stock using odin (Sammobile UK BTU firmware). Something went wrong over there and i got a FAIL message from odin. There onwards I tried searching all over the web but couldn't bring it back to life. One thing I never tried and won't do it that is use of pit file for re-partitioning. Now at this moment it has got a CWM recovery 6.0.4.7-kk(0125) installed but whenever I even try to flash a custom rom, it installs successfully but after reboot i am stuck again samsung logo. I have tried using a few kk custom roms with no success and also tried flashing 4.3, 4.4.2 and 5.0 stock roms from odin with again no success. Now my aim is to bring this thing back to life. Kies 3 gives a message that your device is not compatible with this version of kies.
Waiting for some expert opinions, I am ready to start from the beginning.
Regards
