[Q] New And Need Help

Hey Guys What's Up !!!!!!!
I an new so try not to bash me to hard.
I am trying to flash a custom rom to my AT&T Galaxy S 4 (SGH-I337) running Android 4.3 Baseband Version MK2
without any success at all.
I have root, I used saferoot and rootchecker says I have root as well as other apps, I also have rom manager premium v5.5.3.7. And paid for the touch option And here is where everything goes south.
No matter what I do when the phone reboots into recovery mode it boots into the standard android system recovery mode.( Manual Mode)
I see no clockwork anything.
I am dead in the water. Please Help.
The only modification other than root that I have done to the phone is change the tetherprovision.apk files with one I found out here
to reenable tethering. It worked like a champ (Sweet Thanks For That).

You would have better assistance here: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Anyways aside from addressing thread maintenance to staff, to my understanding you cannot flash a ROM for the AT&T S4 MK2 bootloader. The bootloader is locked and thus making it impossible to flash a ROM. There is however a Safestrap Recovery recovery for your device but no ROMs.

The only recovery available for MF3 and MK2 i337 is Safestrap here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925
You can only flash 4.3 touchwiz roms. No AOSP or such. The number roms that you can install is also currently limited.

Did anything get figured out with this? I'm bricked too and can't do anything about it because the 5.1.1 firmware isn't out and I can't figure anything else out to fix it.
I was able to acquire the following files...

Flashing these finally brought this hopeless nightmare to an end.
I had the Kingsroot + SuperSUME = FAIL brick condition and this saved the device (it wasn't even my device, I was fixing it for a friend). Let me know if anyone is interested.

If you are running the stock Samsung MM 6.0.1 firmware and you want to root
all you need to do is to flash the proper rooting kernel after you have odin flashed
the official stock Samsung mm 6.0.1 firmware.
Here is a link where you can download the "AudaxPlus M Kernel v1.1", it is pre-rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63161175&postcount=1
Look for the KERNEL download link.
Once you have flashed the rooting kernel successfully your phone will be rooted.
You will need to odin flash twrp or philz recovery before
you can flash any custom roms or flashable zip files.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

So your saying the kernel will root my phone?
And if i want audax 2.2 rom, what do i need to flash after the kernel?
Can you please direct me to a link that will fit?
Thanks...

Someone?

Hey, carefully follow MM SkyHigh kernel thread in Original android development forum. I have rooted my G928C several times with it.

You cannot downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop.
That's a fact.
I have already asked this question & have got the same reply.
Marshmallow bootloader prevents downgrade.
But, why would you want to downgrade.
There are many custom roms for A5 2016 based on MM, if you dont like the stock rom of MM.

if i put a custom rom, can i after flash original lollipop firmware?

You can give it a try but I am sure all the custom roms too are Marshmallow based, so you will have the same problem.
Any particular reason for sticking to LP, when there is already news that this device will get Nougat update too ?

I guess it would be possible to make a flashable zip with lollipop system/boot.

Search how to flash firmware with Odin, simple stuff and it should get you out of your pickle

Fully aware how 2 use odin but not sure how that's going to help I've installed 2/3 firmwares to no success m8No m8

Do you not upgrade firmware through Kies.
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

No m8 I don't really upgrade just either bang a rom on it or download firmware and odin it

Fully aware how 2 use odin but not sure how that's going to help I've installed 2/3 firmwares to no success m8No m8

Kies as in to fix factory mode .

You can download stock firmware from sammobile
These are odin compatible.
I had a similar situation when i flashed custom rom with latest twrp. (I used twrp 3.0) So i got stuck on download mode. After many searches i found how to use odin and flashed stock firmware. Then rooted it, changed recovery to custom and then flashed custom rom with twrp 2.8.7
Also provide your model no. and what you flashed so that more experienced guys can help you to come out from download/factory/odin mode.

Will do I've flashed a few bobcat and darklord to name 2 of them with same outcome I'll take screenshot on boot up

Just went ahead and googled for the heck of it... would "This" be a solution to your problem?
