Tried to root and install TWRP on my i605 and all i get is this message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I rooted using Framaroot app.
Then installed GooManager and let it install TWRP recovery.
I did NOT unlock the bootloader, and this could be the problem.
I also tried adams' root/recovery steps and Odin says "Failed" each time. It fails in Odin when it's trying to restore "Recovery"
Can someone please tell me how to save my $700 phone???
please, please.

hidden.img
modem.bin
param.bin

shoot.bin

Then you didn't follow instructions. If you did you would have seen to use the alternate restore download from here. It doesn't flash sboot. Wolf there it is again!

I didn't use the "alternate" download b/c it says "Return to stock but keep an unlocked bootloader".
I did NOT unlock the bootloader before rooting/installing twrp or at any time.
I'll try using the "alternate" download file and see how that goes...still 18 minutes to download.
btw, thanks a ton for your help.
i'm so nervous i'm about to shat myself.
if this works...i smell a donating coming.

Ya it says that because it doesn't overwrite the boot loader, but the ll4 update blocks you from writing any boot loader. So you use that file and it restores everything except sboot.
You'll be good. This will fix your phone

ok...still waiting for download.
so you're saying to use the "alternate" download, NOT the "Download Me" or Mirror 1 or Mirror 2 files that are listed above the "alternate" download?
going to try that now...brb
ok. downloaded alternate file, opened oding, clicked on PDA and the file does not appear!? Yes, i'm in the right folder.

HELP, i've downloaded countless versions of the Stock recovery MD5 file and none are working to unbrick my Verizon galaxy S4 Firmware ver:*VRUAME7 (came stock with this firmware when purchased) and nothing is working. I was trying to install the recovery files from "sxtpdevelopers"
After successfully rooting using the microSD card method, I stupidly installed GooIM and then tried to install twrp.. I forgot that this version of firmware didn't have the bootloader unlocked yet and when the I booted into recovery it took me straight to " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." *I already tried KIES recovery but it asks for serial number. THERE NO DAMN serial numbers anywhere on the phone, battery, or box that work. (including IMEI)
I then figured DOWNLOAD MODE worked so let me flash the stock odin file but I keep getting a FAIL installation every time.
FYI; I'm using parallels for mac and windows 8 to run odin. all the com ports are ok and I know there isn't a connection problem.
Any help would be appreciated. THANKS.*

THANK YOU SO MUCH!.. The funny thing is I had downloaded "SCH-I545_VZW_1_20130613171315_24s13crny1_fac.zip" already in my trials and tribulations. Probably the one I downloaded was corrupt because this one installed with a breeze. The one located on that site worked instantly. Now if we can just get that bootloader unlocked. I wish was a programming genius sometimes, I would unlock it; then take that ransom and donate it. Thanks again
Just wanted to say thanks. I was able to use that link + Odin3 to get my friend's Verizon Galaxy S4 back to normal. Best Buy and a Samsung rep at the store were unable to handle this lol

Fused 5 means you need to flash either mj7 or mk2 .
I'd do the full wipe at this point. If one doesn't work right at first... Try the other. Do you recall which your phone was on prior to this?

OK well if you can get back into download mode then flash the MDK tar . I'm not really sure if you were flashing a rom in Odin or a custom recovery but in any case if all else fails.... Odin mdk
Sent From My Verizon S4
With the new knox security trying to flash a prior firmware will trip the flag so it's advised to be careful when flashing images via Odin. Flash an earlier version that doesn't take and you'll lose the warranty on your phone.

I have to admit, I am really confused by your posts. I have no idea what you were, or are, trying to do. Are you SURE you were on MDK? If you weren't on MDK, you need to Odin back to the build you were on.

The OP says that it said "Fused:5" means he is on MJ7 or MK2. It may have been on MDK and Loki'd at one point, but it's now MJ7/MK2 and needs to be recovered using one of those ROM images - NOT MDK.

If it came with VRUAME7 then you didnt use the Loki method to root. If you want help you should post more logs/info. Like your last sentence "Ive tried using mj7 and mk2 as well but I can't find one that will work" can you elaborate on that? Saying you cant find one that works suggests you've found ones that dont work. But what does "don't work" consist of? It could be "write error", md5 mismatch, "PIT partition not found", "SW Rev check fail..", wrong file etc.
Check that the Odin tar file name says "VRUEMJ7" or "VRUEMK2" in it and ends in tar.md5 and make sure the md5 matches. If that fails then post back with logs/info that will actually assist us in helping you troubleshoot

Driver issue 99% of the time make sure you've uninstalled all Samsung drivers. Use windows' control panel option to uninstall programs and make sure all kies, samsung, and verizon related stuff is uninstalled. Then reboot the pc, let your phone install the drivers for your pc, and try using a different usb port with the stock oem cable. Also make sure adb isn't running in the background

Ok, so I think I'm having issues because I don't have the right firmware.
From what I've been reading is that there isn't a firmware released for the i527 for AT&T correct? Or can someone point me in the direction for that ROM.

I found these files by chance in the forums somewhere, i repair cellphones and was working on a work around for the replacement screens not working for the i527 At&t, these files will put fix your current softbrick and restore you back to 4.4.2
Using odin v3.09 place each file in each location Pit in Pit, BL in BL, etc. And let finish, everything should be back working once complete. I do not take credit for these files, as stated before i found these on XDA somewhere and cant remember exactly.

Using odin v3.09 place each file in each location Pit in Pit, BL in BL, etc. And let finish, everything should be back working once complete. I do not take credit for these files, as stated before i found these on XDA somewhere and cant remember exactly.

This worked great for me, I had to leave off the PIT file though. :good:
Does anyone have a working 4.4.4 download link?

There is a link in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/4-4-4-inbound-t2871557
page 5 or so I posted the md5 of what downloaded here when my phone pulled the update. So if that link posted in the thread has matching md5 I'd say the file is good.

The file that Omar04 posted is definitely corrupt. I tried many different way to open and fix. So someone else will have to post it. I will soon as I get the update.

Go and check the md5 from @Omar04 upload and see if it matches the one I posted.
Everyone that's tried to extract the update that their phone has downloaded has had the same issue.

md5 I got for update is:
D2EC5D31A1F786CA7E95D7FF63D9893C
unpacks \update\META-INF\com\android\metadata with contents of
Code:
post-build=samsung/hltespr/hltespr:4.4.4/KTU84P/N900PVPUDNH7:user/release-keys
post-timestamp=1409206131
pre-build=samsung/hltespr/hltespr:4.4.2/KOT49H/N900PVPUCNC5:user/release-keys
pre-device=hltespr
Then overwrites this file with an over 2mb elf file of the same name.
I'm thinking that binary takes care of the rest of the unpacking..? It would seem so I guess.

I downloaded the OTA, but when I reboot it fails in updating. I am on rooted stock nc5 with an engineering bootloader. what do I have to do to get the update? my knox is tripped already.

You need to Odin stock NC5 bootloader then flash back to 100% unrooted stock.

No you need to flash the stock bootloader. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tef6vr2iuieasqq/NC5_OEM_BL.tar.md5?dl=0
Then flash stock Unrooted NC5 because the update will still see that you were modified and not stock. There is two places to look if you are official. 1st place is under settings about phone. The other place is in download mode. If both places don't say official or Samsung Official then it won't update. Here is a stock one click nc5 rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51848277

Thanks, i'll flash the bootloader first (hitting bootloader icon in odin) then the nc5 rom next (hitting pda in odin). the last question is when I flash nc5 rom i won't actually lose anything right? such as my current config or files.
Thanks,
John
First thing I forgot. In order for the bootloader to stick do a cold boot into download mode. To do that completely shut off phone the wait about 30 seconds after the button lights turn off then hold power+home+volume down button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo.
And about the one click I would back up everything! You might loose stuff. Can't promise. I used the one click earlier and didn't loose anything. But you I took a chance. I also made a nandroid backup.
