why are you using any slot other than AP in odin? Just get the tar.md5 appropriate for your phone, load it in the ap slot in odin and flash it with the phone in download mode.

go with the no wipe factory restore... The file is big, but thats probably the only thing that can get you working.

I have the Original 4.2.2 Stock Firmware for you. I sent you a Pm awaiting your response. The links will be sent to you after the response.

Wrong ROM, constant rebooting, recovery not accessible!

hi guys,
I downloaded this ROM which now I know was not the right one for my phone, I flashed it smoothly through TWRP, (this was my 1000th time flashing custom ROM's on different phones), rebooted the phone and from there on I have this constant rebooting which happens so quickly that doesn't even allow the first page's logo to appear on the screen before it restarts again, i have a vibration every 7 seconds or so. I have tried every mean I know of to get into the recovery but no luck, the download mode however is reachable, I used odin to put the stock rom back but the phone is still not booting up and acts the same, please help me if you can. I also tried flashing a recovery only image on the phone through Odin, but it doesn't allow me I think due to my bootloader still being locked.
thanks a lot.
I have a i337.

when I press vol up + power button it vibrates once now I have tried two things, one I left it right away and it goes to the rebooting cycle, but if I keep holding the buttons combination nothing happens, the weird thing is that even for getting in the DL mode I have to release the power button first while still holding the vol dn so it would get in there, and the page to the dl mode renders very very slowly, also the page after that after I press the vol up.
Recovery mode is vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the phone vibrates
You were able to successfully flash a stock ROM back? If so, see if Kies will recognize it and do an 'emergency firmware update' or something like that.

the flashing goes through properly, it also gives the green message of passed at the very end before it reboots into the cycle. I am downloading Kies, never used it before so we'll see.

I can get into dl mode, I went to sammobile but didn't see anything compatible with mine, there were mostly international versions of it, or different regions other than the US. do you have a link I would love to try a new firmware I think that should do it although I am not sure why the stock rom isn't getting it in order
one more thing I forgot to say is that I erased the system folder through twrp before flashing the last rom, something that I had done before and was corrected by the odin.

Go to sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip. Extract the .tar.md5 file from it using 7-zip. Use that in odin. It's the stock firmware

That's not a good sign that it's not working. The next thing to try is to flash the factory firmware. See the attached. You'll want to download the all in one file and flash that in odin.

You'll download a .rar file, use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in the PDA slot in odin.

Download Odin and the all in one onto your computer. You'll run Odin from your computer. Boot your phone into download mode then plug it into your usb cable. Odin should show that your device is connected.

Start it up. You'll see a PDA slot where you can browse for a file. Browse to where the.tar.md5 file you downloaded is. Then boot your phone into download mode and plug the usb cable into it. Odin should have a com in the upper left hand corner turn yellow or blue, it depends on the Odin version you're using. Once you see that your phone is being recognized by Odin and you can hit start. If everything goes right it should take about 10 minutes for it to do its thing. If it's successful boot into recovery and do a factory reset

I don't want to steal your thunder JD. Sketchy do you live near a BestBuy? If so some have a Samsung Experience Shop which they can do that for you if you are unsure how to use Odin. Tell them Kies broke your phone and ask them to reflash it. Its free. Try not to show them the custom logo.

[Q] S4 Bricked?

So I installed the hyperdrive rom and was having trouble with the wifi so i downloaded the kernel in a seperate zip. went back in recovery, and installed everything, kernel kept erroring in recovery while installing, I decided to restart, and it asks if i want to prevent stock recovery from installing. Not sure what I hit, as I was clipping on the back, but whatever i did, now when the phone boots up, it vibrates for about 1 second, the screen stays black. It does this about every 10 sec. I can get into download mode so i tried installing the stock firmware with ODIN but i still have the same problem. Any suggestions?
Can you link to the kernel you installed. Also are you on mdl firmware and was Odin successful out were there errors?

yes. i think it bricked because when i rebooted, the recovery asked if i wanted to prevent the flashage (is that even a word?) of the stock recovery, and atm i was putting on the back, so i may have hit yes.

if you can get into download mode and that's stable and not rebooting on you. I'd look at then using Odin once in download mode and the cf-auto-root tool to get back to a working phone. you may lose data but may get out of the bricked state

These are no details. Where is that guide? In what section of Odin did you put it. What options did you select in Odin etc etc etc.

So whaddya think about that guide? Rooting was fine but the CWM screwed up
So I used the jig and flashed 4.2.2 stock firmware
Jig worked like a charm. Thanks a million guys!
