So I tried alot of ways to root my samsung galaxy s4 I337. After multiple attempts I got it to root. With the program called: kingo android root
I wanted to put cm10 on here but I needed a custom recovery i tried odin to put twrp on and It kept on failing giving me errors over and over.
so I found a program called: casual that did a root and custom recovery.
well after that it said reboot. So It did and then It got to odin downloading saying error cant normal boot.
I cant restore my phone, get into recovery, the only way I can get on my phone is if I press power down and the home button. Then it boots up.i want it to be fixed without going through all this haggle.
is there anyway besides kies cuz that aint working to fix my phone.
I check root checker basic and I am no longer rooted.
like I said odin is not working for my phone for whatever reason.
maybe if I wait for 4.3 on the 13th and do the ota update will that help.
im so lost please help me someone.
Need to know what firmware you're on. Mf3? Most likely
This might work, but it will delete everything on your phone and reset it. I hope this works :fingers-crossed:
Follow these steps (On your own risk):
1) get on your phone
2) Make sure you have unknown sources enabled (Settings--More--Security--Unknown Sources)
3) install Safestrap 3.62 (download given below)
4) Open app and click "Install Recovery"
5) then press "Reboot to Recovery"
6) It should boot into Safestrap, if not then turn off your phone and the boot it up as you would to use it and then click the menu button on the phone.
7) Then click Wipe
8) Swipe to Factory Reset
9) Reboot
10) Enjoy!

You are most probably on MF3, therefore you cannot install TWRP or CWM recoveries. You can only use Safestrap as of right now.

firmware 4.2.2. originally. but after doing whatever I did and connecting to kies it says: Current Firmware version: PDA:MF3 / PHONE:MF3 / CSC:MF3 (ATT)

You can't install Cyanogenmod. Read through the Safestrap thread and the Q/A thread to see what works.

You can't. On MF3 you cannot run AOSP/AOKP/CM/MIUI based roms. Only custom TW.

Thanks guys,
This means a lot with the help. Now if I can get the WiFi to work on the hyperdrive rom. I'll be good as gold tell y'all what from. Going from a jailbreak iOS themer to android rooting user. It's very different and a lot of looking into and reading.
Now back into looking to get this WiFi to work. Just wanted to say thanks
Did you flash the ATT compatibility package zip that you should have downloaded along side of the Hyperdrive rom ,after those two zips did you flash the MF3 kernel module zip.
I use the Hyperdrive rom now and don't have any issues

When you downloaded the rom it is in the same page. You need the compatibility package and the MF3 kernel module on Safestrap for it to work right.go back to the Hyperdrive thread and search for it

here is my issue now.
I rooted with kinggo android root. Then for custom recover I have Safestrap. I rooted to see what all i could do but after trying different Roms I have noticed I don't care. Much for it.
I unrooted via the kinggo app. And verified with root checker.
But i want to go back to full stock. I noticed Safestrap is still there running in background. But the custom logo is gone.
I just want to go back to stock and have nothing to do with root.
I used the code to remove safestrap. and used kingo to unroot. but when I get the offical files for odin and try to push them into my phone. yes I am in download mode when I enter download mode i get:
odin mode
product name: SGH - 1337
current binary: Samsung official
system status: official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30
write protection enabled
when I enter odin put thi the tar file for 4.2.2 I get a pass then a fail. the message log says: <ID:0/003> File analysis..

Hi everyone.
I stuck while installing Dr.Ketan ROM on my N9000Q, which is descriebed on this web site. And I need a help about this issue.
First I updated my N9000Q to Android 5.0 Lolipop using Russia Rom ( I downloaded it from SamMobile) and now it seems like N900 in about section in phone.
After this update, I used it for a while, but now i want to insall a custom rom. But when i try to install CWM/TWRP or try to root it using Odin, I get the error message "NAND Write Start!! FAIL!!" I used different version of recovery files like "n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1009)" , "n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125)" , "n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812)" , "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-ha3g.img.tar" or root file "CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.tar.md5". and also tried them with many different Odin version, like 1.85 up to 3.10.6.
Everytime I have tried, I got same error message. Did I something wrong, or what should I do?
Can anyone help me about this problem???
Edit 1: My Odin output.

I think that's an Exynos chip phone. Are you sure you are getting SW for that or are you trying to flash normal (Snapdragon) files?

It's normal that you are stuck if you don't know what device you are using. Do you own a N900 or N9000Q? Coz they are different phones. For root it ofc too:
1. CF-Auto Root for N900.
or
2. CF- Auto Root for N9000Q.

Thanks for your reply. I m trying your root files soon. but as i said in my #1 Message, I have a n9000q (Turkey version) but after i install Russia Stock Rom (and also Ukrain Stock Rom), It is written in version section in phone as "N900". That's why i try to install N900 root files. and also there is many threads that n900 and n9000q are same specification so that we can install both n900 root files.
Thanks again and again for your helping. But after your reply i have another question in my mind, that i can install Dr.Ketar Rom for n900 into my phone or not. I have doubt because i could already install n900 Ukrain and Russian Stock Roms.
Edit 1: I just tried to root with 2nd files too. but i cant root either and I got same error message.

That you can install custom roms doesn't mean that will work on your device. You receive NAND error in ODIN for that too.
*COUNCIL: I will flash the stock ROM and will root with this file via ODIN too if I was you and DONE!.

1. Try to flash via ODIN this ONE. Your device is using Hong Kong (TGY) and I think you can't flash european firmwares on it.
2. Install this APP and add screenshots if you can't.

My phone is currently stuck saying:
"Samsung Galaxy Note3
Custom"
History: installed rooted NC2 months ago, phone ran really crappy, had safestrap recovery, decided i'd sit down to install jasmine rom eventually
Today: followed Jasmine 5.0 directions, did a wipe, I believe the wipe told me "cannount unmount internal storage"
did this twice, and phone rebooted.
got a loop of "samsung galaxy note3 custom"
followed this: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-3.html
(Note: Jasmine never installed, i got tripped up when i tried to wipe cache, etc) I was on 4.4.2
Now I get "samsung galaxy note3 custom" without a loop.

I can boot to recovery, but I suppose I have nothing it can install to recover. I am not 100% sure what steps to take. I realize this topic gets posted often, I am sorry. I read through a number of "I bricked my phone" topics before posting this.

Go to sammobile.com and get the 4.4.2 firmware and use Odin (latest version) to install.
You'll have to reroot (which can be done on 4.4.2) and reinstall safestrap.
The above presumes you don't have a backup made with safestrap.

Which version of Odin are you using? I believe you need 3.09 or higher.
How did you make the backups? If via Safestrap...you have to use it to recover. The date of the backup is typically embedded in the file name.
Also if you haven't. ...read this thread

That means you're trying to install an older version of the software. You must load either 4.4.4 or 5.0 because the bootloader was updated to either 4.4.4 or 5.0 at some point.
That means you've lost root.

Thats what I feared, but I guess not the absolute end of the world... Should I essentially just stick with stock Verizon updates from now on?
I cannot get root back past the NC4 bootloader right?

Yes, that is correct. You can load either 4.4.4 or 5.0 via Odin. You can get either version on sammobile. And correct...no root available for either. So all you'll have is stock updates from now on unless someone magically figures out how to get root on those....very unlikely though.

You should have done a little reading around these forums first. It would have saved you a lot of time and trouble. You are on PB1 and the bootloader is locked down tight. You cannot downgrade from there to a previous version like the two you tried to flash. To get your phone back working you will have to flash the full PB1 stock software build.

After I flash the full stock PB1 build, Can I then downgrade in order to root the device? Oh and where do I find this build? search is not helping.

Thanks much for the link. I read through it and was able to get the phone rooted. I did run into 2 minor issues that I need to research in order to fix:
1. Swapping Kingroot for SuperSu does not work as SuperSU can't download and install the binary. I keep getting told to reboot and try again. I reinstalled Kingroot and it's working.
2. I'm getting the error about unauthorized activity. I know it has to do with KNOX and want to remove it, but can't manage to get safestrap to install. The installation app tells me that the installation completes successfully, but when I reopen the app, i am told that safestrap is not installed. Without it I can't install the 2 zip files in the instructions. For now I'm just ignoring the warning in notification screen and all is fine. I'm a little hesitant to monkey with KNOX for fear of voiding my warranty and not being able to take advantage of my extended protection plan.
Other than those 2 issues, everything is working great. Thanks again for the assistance.

2. I'm getting the error about unauthorized activity. I know it has to do with KNOX and want to remove it, but can't manage to get safestrap to install. The installation app tells me that the installation completes successfully, but when I reopen the app, i am told that safestrap is not installed. Without it I can't install the 2 zip files in the instructions. For now I'm just ignoring the warning in notification screen and all is fine. I'm a little hesitant to monkey with KNOX for fear of voiding my warranty and not being able to take advantage of my extended protection plan.
Other than those 2 issues, everything is working great. Thanks again for the assistance.

I know issue #1 now that your king root is working try again with SuMe, it should work, don't download Su apk SuMe will do it.
issue #2 I am not sure about it, but here's something that may help you 7. Install This zip Knox_Removal_SU_BB_INIT.D.zip If you dont want a custom rom your done!
8. If you want to flash a custom rom make a backup In safestrap. Then in safestrap Click Wipe then Click Advanced Wipe Then Wipe System,Wipe Data,Wipe Cache Then Install any rom of your choosing as long as it is a Verizon S5 TocuchWiz Based Rom CM builds will not work! If you want you can try this it is stable. If for some reason you get an error flashing zips install this zip G900V_Fix Safestrap.zip in safestrap then you will be able to install roms. That zip wipes system and formats it so you will need to install a rom or backup before leaving safestrap
VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V8.zip This is a fully stock rom just like you had except it is Pre Rooted Knox free Deodexed with Tethering Fix, SDWrite Fix. Other than that all the bloat is still there but now your rooted you can remove it or flash different rom whatever
9. After flashing any rom I would head over to my Safestrap Thread and flash the latest version of Safestrap

For # 2 I read that security Log manager is the app that actually causes the messages to popup. I went into System APK manager and froze the app. Going back in, I notice that the Frozen screen is blank. I hope I didn't do something wrong.

Just install the rom with flashfire... the deodex one... and download the originaltar.img just in case something goes wrong or that you mess something up.

I purchased SuMe and it did it's magic. I am happy. good program. Also I have not received any warning messages about unauthorized activity. I will have to remove knox at some point, but for now all is good.
