You cannot flash a recovery to MF3. Your options see J-tag on mobiletechvideos.com or go to best buy with Samsung experience to reflash MF3
Edit: glad that is solved

You still do not have a recovery, by flashing a custom recovery and it failing, you lost stock recovery.

That will not work! There is no custom recovery for mf3. You still have no recovery, you will need to find a best buy with Samsung experience to reflash MF3 if you want stock recovery. Once again, you cannot install a custom recovery. Your phone booted fine but you will not be able to go into recovery since you don't have one. I believe you will go into Odin downloadable mode.

Need to send S4 back to Samsung, What is required to make sure my warranty is valid?

So, my S4 wont read my simcard anymore, and I have to send it back.
What do I need to do to make sure that Samsung accepts and replaces my device.
It's Rooted, has a custom recovery and ROM.
Thanks.
EDIT: Its a Canadian S4.

Remove flash back via Odin find stock factory image for YOUR DEVICE (I337m) I take it you didn't update it so find the Odin files that correspond with the fw that your phone officially came with

So I went back to the Official Samsung firmware, and used triangle away. Now when I boot into download, both say official. However, when I check device status, it still says custom.
I have removed Root and have a custom recovery installed. Found a Sprint S4 recovery, but I can't find the Canadian. Will the sprint one work?

Only other method I could think of is using Kies (if you don't have it downloaded it) to restore it completely.

Well, Can I not just flash the stock recovery with ODIN?

I'm not too sure. You could search it

If you have an i337m you can flash the stock firmware with odin.

See, I cannot go back to stock and do the triangle away method as SIM card is required to activate the phone, which currently won't read a simcard. Can I not just flash the recovery? Or is there a way to bypass simcard activation? Thanks

Need Help! Galaxy S4 won't boot

My phone was working fine and then it rebooted on it's own yesterday morning and now it is stuck at the ATT logo screen. I hear the ATT music play but it stays on the screen with the logo. I have rebooted many times and it still does the same thing. I have searched everywhere and no solutions have worked. I have NO idea where to start.

Was it rooted? MK2? MK3? NB1? 1337m or regular? We need more information

It was never rooted. Everything was stock since the day I got it. I think I did a software upgrade at the end of last year but that is it.

Contact Samsung.

I would boot into recovery and do a factory reset. It'll wipe everything so I hope you have a back up somewhere. But it should get you going again.

[q] [bootloop]

Okay, I've messed up real bad. I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 by using this method.
I followed it through, Used the correct download (SM-N910F (International, Qualcomm)) andeverything.
Odin reboots my device, but all it says is
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : Recovery

What am I supposed to do? I've tried to pull the battery out, reflashing it, manually put it in recovery mode and everything.
Still, I Get the annoying bootloop.
I know there is ways of fixing this without wiping it.
Thanks - Mackedack
EDIT: I don't actually care about not wiping it now. (If I have to wipe it, I will)

Hey buddy!! same issue here is that fixed????

Custom logo on boot?

Hey guys, I just restarted my suit edge and was surprised when the Samsung logo popped up,it had the word custom underneath with the unlocked lock. I know when it's happened in the past to other samsung phones is when we flashed other kernels or roms. Any reason why would this happen on a stock phone?

Does it happen everytime? Maybe you somehow unlocked your bootloader. If it just happened once then it just might have been a fluke. Everytime then try to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) with ODIN.

It's something else . Prolly an app or a website that u visited . It has been discussed here a few months back . Someone got this custom thing under the boot logo and he posted it on Reddit.
