Hi
I'm here in Canada where I have a Samsung S4 SGH-i337M and need a tar file. I believe I need I337MVLUAMG3. It's for a Bell Mobility (Bell Canada) phone. The sticker on the ROM has the following info:
091011
T04B
V04D910J6
A-KKMR
VLUAMG3
At the moment it boots up with the Samsung S4 logo and in blue at the top Recovery Booting...and hangs for ever.
Any help would be so much appreciated.
sammobile.com. Get your ROM from there.

Hey...the file is not there, does anyone else know where I could get one from?
Thanks.
You didn't look hard enough.
Thanks for the info, however I don't see ROM version I337MVLUAMG3 For some reason I might not have access to see it, or it's not there. Could you please link me to that ROM?
Thanks...
No, because that letter combination does not exist anywhere for any I337M. Searching the Internet for that string of letters and numbers comes up with two entries on Google, both referring to this thread. Therefore, what you believe you needed in fact isn't what you needed.
Download the latest ROM from the link, and use that to fix your phone.

I have loaded all versions and still have the same problem. A little more info I got, it was unlocked, so I'm not sure what version to use at this point. Do I go back to the original provider and load that ROM or do I have to find out what provider they used when the phone was unlocked?
If the phone is unlocked, it doesn't matter what ROM you use as long as it's for an I337M. Thus, any I337M ROM from sammobile should have fulfilled your requirements. That means something isn't right here.
The first obvious thing to do here is to check and make sure your volume + control isn't stuck. Tap the edge of the phone gently against a table to loosen the buttons and see if you still have the recovery booting problem. If that doesn't resolve your problem, enter download mode and read off all the information in the upper left of the screen.

I have checked the buttons and they are okay. Here is the information before and after the download from the download screen:

Take your phone in and have it serviced. There is absolutely no reason for a stock ROM downloaded from sammobile to not have restored your phone, except one: you have a bad emmc chip.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to find an explanation for this but was not able to anywhere. Here is my problem, I had rooted my AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 and played with it for a few days flashing different kinds of ROM and trying all kinds of cool stuff. But then I decided to bring it back to stock. I unrooted and did everything including resetting the binary counter and the phone seems perfect and like new but accept for one problem. When I go to download mode I still get the famous yellow triangle but everything else looks right as follows:
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
The question here is, is the yellow triangle in my case a normal thing to see or something went wrong with the unrooting process. If the yellow triangle is not supposed to be there then I am hoping someone would put me on the right track to get rid of it. Thanks in advance.

I believe the yellow triangle is just there to let you know download mode is serious business. Your system status and current binary report offical, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Good news. Thanks.
Can someone with the same phone confirm that please.
I've made a bit of a mess and I need help please. My s4 is softbricked, but as softbricks go, it's rather hard.
I have an early S4 i9505 bought from Carphone Warehouse (UK, unlocked, pre knox). I rooted it, installed TBackup, greenify and got it how I wanted it. Then I downloaded a stock firmware from Sammobile and tested to see if I could get it back to 'warranty' condition, which was a success.
Confident that I could obtain warranty if I needed it, I re-rooted it, installed TB and greenify, and it ran sweetly for months from that point onwards.
I read about the arrival of updates (and knox) and concluded I didn't need them. It was working, leave it alone.
Then out of the blue, my nice stable machine broke. I didn't change anything I was aware of to cause it.
No normal boot.
No recovery.
Download only.
Using Odin, I tried allsorts, eventually getting the same Sammobile firmware to run.
2 days later, it broke again, same as before, but worse!?
Then I tried all sorts of stuff downloading no end of things trying to get it to boot or even go into recovery. The most promising approach was to reload the firmware along with a .pit file, but still no joy. I've lost track of the other things I tried, but I've been doing it for a week, so a lot has been done. In desperation, I even tried downloading the latest firmware, so I now have signs of knox of the odin page.
I now have the following symptoms:
Booting into recovery brings up the blue 'booting recovery' message then just blackness.
Normal boot is exactly the same as above.
Unpowered conection to my laptop gives a 5 second boot loop featuring the buzz only.
I can reliably boot into download and download stuff with Odin and change the little Odin page status messages. After (foolishly) trying the latest firmware, these messages say
ODIN MODE

If anything else is not working (especially, if you're unable to go to recovery) I'd call sammy service center. Your download mode says that you did not rooted your phone, and knox is untouched either.

Thanks for looking spamtrash.
I was wondering if I could get away with that. It does look good from the Odin display, but the flash counter must have a pretty high number in it by now! Won't that show up somewhere?
Do you think it does actually have a fault on it, rather than just some software that's messed up and needs tweaking?
Thanks

1. Are you able to go to recovery mode?
2. Assuming that your previous communicates were taken from the screen in download mode - you're clean.
If answer for 1 is: NO, and assuming 2: do not bother the flash counter. Flash counter does not means you messed with custom ROMs, it just means amount of the ROM update tries. As they are unable to prove that the counter was not increased by failed KIES updates, you're safe.
To go deeper, service will have to flash and wipe your phone.
One thing: remove your sd card prior to giving/sending it out.
Try a different usb cable.I was in same boat as you (after stupidly thinking mobile odin pro liked modems).
Luckily I had an unused cable off my tab 3.
I want to start off by saying that I kept digging my own grave because I'm stubborn. I have looked and tried everything and will try again after posting. There are messages and phone calls that I need to get to for college and this has really made me a bit stressed/ depressed.
I recently got an S4 SGH-I337 from AT&T and upgraded to 4.4.2 KitKat. I decided to root it and flash a rom (first phone I ever decided to flash a rom on, bad decision on my part). Everything was fine and dandy until I decided to install TWRP Recovery, it then killed all access to the recovery menu. I was still able to get into the phone via download menu (removing battery). I then decided to factory reset everything. I followed all the steps and images down to the letter.
I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 (Fails on Odin, every single time)
Afterwards, I would get the message: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." (Kies does NOT work since it doesn't even appear on the list when I hit emergency recovery. I even tried Firmware Upgrade.)
Then I used this on Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404970
It worked but it gave me the message "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone." I decided to download and use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49687770 due to him solving his issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52837496&postcount=203)... It voided my warranty and is back to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." Still cannot use Kies as nothing shows up when I hit emergency recovery. What voided my warranty was a stock image.
Kies and Odin don't work. I have no idea what to do. I'm honestly scared to tell my dad and way too stubborn to actually tell him about it. Hahaha. Since I voided the warranty, I really have no idea how much AT&T will charge, I don't want him wasting money. All my money sadly went to school. These are the files that I accumulated during my googling: http://puu.sh/ayQwm/e8d232b4b0.jpg

If there are info you need, I'll do what I can to tell you. Note, I can't get into my phone, but what I can do is get into Odin mode... I appreciate it if you can help, I'm very new to this.
*I do NOT know what the 4.4.2 version is, so I have no power over that. I didn't memorize it at all and am just going by what the Box says: I337UCUAMF3
Read the return to stock section of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
I found it earlier and downloaded the NB1 Rom. It worked. Thanks for helping though. I'll find the thank you button somewhere. :good:
[Q] Need Help With "Firmware encountered and issue" after trying to unlock S4 for GSM
I have an issue with corrupted firmware after trying to unlock my Sprint SPH-L720 for domestic GSM service. I hastily went through the procedures as directed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610. In hindsight I apparently should not have done this procedure due to the fact that my phone had the Knox kernel. (I surmise this from the ensuing error message I get on trying to boot the device since flashing. On boot I get a screen with the following details.
Odin Mode
Product Name: SPH-L720
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
EMMC Burst Mode: Enabled
Start [224, 1440]
SW Rev. Check Fail : Fused : 5 ; Binary : 1
Above info is listed in very small print at top left of screen
Then in middle of screen...
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery
mode in Kies & try again.
So here is what I need help with that I can not seem to find specific
details about. I need to get the device back in working order again
evidently by flashing the proper stock firmware and then restore the
factory image. I can not seem to find a thread detailing exactly how to
do this along with the links to all the software necessary to accomplish
the task. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there, I have a problem with my phone and I was ponited in the direction of this forum to see if anyone would be able to help out. Any assistance woud be very greatly appreciated
I am based in UK and I recently bought myself a Galaxy Note 4. 2nd Hand but as new condition. I tried to do an over the air software update to see if the phone would be able to get a more recent version of Android (it was running 5.0.1) and the phone wouldn't connect to the server. Also whe I tried to connect to Android Pay I got an error saying the device was rooted so I couldn't use the app on this phone. I therefore wanted to unroot the phone
I must stress my real technical knowledge of Android phones is basically at novice level but I tried to unroot the phone using SuperSU which I downloaded from the app store. I ran the unroot option and restarted the phone as prompted but this resulted in my phone being stuck in Bootloop. It wouldn't go past the Samsung load screen
I probably did the worst thing which was panic, went into recovery mode and attempted to factory reset to return the phone to out of box settings. I wiped the cache and did the factory reset but, of course, this hasn't resolved the problem. I then done a bit more reading and downloaded Odin and attempted to find the stock firmware for my phone (Model SM-910F), which i did, but unfortunately when I tried to flash this firmware back to my phone through Odin I get a failed error
So basically i'm on my knees trying to get some technical advice as to what else i can try or how to proceed. I did try taking it back to the Samsung Store and plead ignorance for help but the best I got there was that my main board would need replacing which would probably set me back another 200 nicker. For that money I may as well just buy a new phone. any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently left with a very expensive paperweight
Many thanks in advance guys

Go to odin download mode and tell me what exactly your model shows there? Maybe I can help.
Press 3 button combo while phone is turned off to go into download mode.(volume down+home+power)
Or even better if you can take picture and upload it while your phone in download mode.

Hello there.
Sorry to say but you dont have N910f international model.its refurbished and faked by n910F software.as you can see your download mode shows n910t that's the orignal motherboard model.and also it shows binaries and status custom and not official as it should.also knox is 0×1 it means it was rooted before and warranty was void.
You have sm-N910T that's T-mobile usa model.
You can download latest N910T firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares and flash through odin.
Dont try to flash n910f firmware otherwise it can be bricked and unusable.
Hope this will help.

You're welcome.
Make sure after flash firmware go to recovery by pressing (volume up+ home+ power ) while phone is off and do (data factory reset & wipe cache)otherwise it will stuck on Samsung logo at first boot.
First boot will take approximately 15 minutes.
