[Q] [MF3] [AT&T] Soft-Brick Help?

Hey Everyone! Okay so here's what I got, I (very stupidly) Rooted my AT&T (I337) Galaxy S 4. Now that I was all fine until I used a flashing script (AS we have no custom recovery) to flash a "working" Google Wallet package. After I rebooted I would get "NCF Service as stopped responding". I managed to install SafeStrap but I couldn't seem to get anything there. SO I thought "Well let me just reflash to stock" so I tried KIES but KIES detects the latest firmware to be 4.2.2, AS we know it's not, and Samsung made MF3 rather impossible to downgrade. So I got the MF3 files used at BestBuy from here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003]. So I put my phone into Download Mode, Open up ODIN and select the platform software in the PDA section and click start. Odin will start flashing and it goes almost all the way through but at the end I get the error FAIL! (Auth). I shall post the code below:

SM-N910F won't install TWRP after reinstalling stock firmware

Hello, I wonder if someone will be able to help with the following problem please.
I made the bad decision of installing Quick Boot on my rooted SM-N910F with stock firmware and it rendered my phone unbootable. I couldn't get to TWRP or anything, so I went in Odin and installed my N910FXXU1BOB4_N910FOXA1BOB4_DBT firmware, but now I don't have a custom recovery anymore and I don't have root.
I've tried to flash twrp-2.8.7.0-trltexx.img.tar with Odin3_v3.10.6 (tried other versions of both as well), but it keeps failing.
The phone says:
Code:
SECURE CHECK FAIL : recovery

I really hope there's a solution, because I can't even back up my phone without root now...

Is your reactivation lock turned off?

no my reactivation lock is off. has anyone been able to root? dont want to try encase it ***** up
ok just did cf-root and this worked fine. anyone tried TWRP Manager from playstore?

I have been able to install twrp
First root phone with cf-root via odin and confirm root was successful.
Download the .img file from here https://dl.twrp.me/trltexx/
Then install Flashify from Playstore. Make a backup of your recovery first to be safe.
Now select Flash, recovery image and then choose file. Navigate to the .img file and flash away.
Job done, time for a custom rom

I'm a noob, I didn't realize it was switched on. Thank you! I've now been able to install TWRP and SuperSU :highfive:

S4 does not run anymore after flashing TWRP

Hey guys,
i gut some serious problems with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
I was running Cyanogen Mod 12.1 with CWM Recovery. After trying to update to CM13 and the appropriate Gapps i noticed some problems installing gapps with CWM. After searching the internet i decided to try it with TWRP instead of CWM. So i used the App Rashr Flash Tool to Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
After flashing TWRP i rebooted the device and got stuck at the Samsung welcome screen. In the right upper corner is displayed the following:
RECOVERY BOOTING. . . .
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Unfortunatelly the phone does not load the recovery or start the OS. The only option i recognized is to enter the download mode by pushing Home + Vol.Down + PWR.
So i tried to use Odin to reinstall TWRP correctly over download mode and this is what Odin puts out.

When i now restart the phone i got following message on the screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
After installing Kies it says that my device is not supportet...
So no i have no idea what else i can do to get my phone running again...
Does anyone has an idea?
Best Regards and thanks

Did you try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com?
Maybe use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP to see if you can enter recovery?

The solution is easy. Use a different usb port / different usb cable.

Well a different USB-Port got me one step further.
It seems that odin flashed the recovery successfully:

After that my phone booted back into my current android / cm OS
Unfortunatelly, if i try to reboot directly into the recovery, i get stuck in the samsung welcome screen again. Means i can not access the recovery...

Use a different recovery thats my advice, i have a same issue as you maybe someone could help me, i open a new thread there also

Try this: unchecked everything except f.reset time in Odin before flashing TWRP, connect phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "RESET" in the status windows, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone powers up, let the power button go but keep holding home and volume up.

somehow i fixed it...
i re-re-reflashed twrp and suddenly everything went fine.
Thanks for your help and real quick responses!
great forum!

sm-g935f (no pit partition) please helpppppp!!!!!!!

hi I messed up too I went to install a new rom but I had to flash a new twrp recovery and I flashed the wrong one and I cant boot in to recovery no more and then I tried to put the right twrp recovery back on there and it gave me a odin error {no pit partition} so I downloaded the sm-g935f pit file and tried to use the pit tab and got a new odin error {Complete(Write) operation failed} iv tried different usb ports 2.0 and 3.0 and tried different cables I need help someone please save me phone

Hi,
download a stock firmware from updato. In Odin select all of the files. For CSC file use the normal CSC file (not HOME_CSC).
In addition, select re-partition and flash.
Odin gets the PIT information from the CSC file.

Have you downloaded the correct firmware from updato.com? If you have g935f you need a 'f' version of the firmware.
Sorry, I have no further idea.

flash again and use your country home CSC i did that and works like a charm

I have downloaded the g935f and the uk csc BTU and still not working

Maybe you try a different usb cable and flash on another pc?

ive tried everything the phone has put itself in read only mode I need to know how to do a boot trap install or something if anyone know how to do that

Have you tried with re partition and NAND erase all ticked in odin? If not, try it. And please use latest version of odin. 3.11 or above.

ya ive tried everything I can think of it just cant get pass the pit file check an then my phone restart to the galaxy s7 edge screen an says on that I flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-hero2qltechn.img and it was that, that messed my phone up coz it was the wrong one I was ment to flash twrp-3.0.2-4-hero2lte.img and then I went to flash the the right one it said the I didn't have a pit partition so I tried the latest firmware for my phone (UK EVR an the pit files) I also used just the csc files but everything ive tried has gave me the above errors ive ready messed up this time

You can download the .pit file for your device: HERE

thank you joku1981 but I already have one but ill try this one
