Ok, So I was attempting to root a friends galaxy S4, and all was going well. But after a successful root, an install of Team win recovery through goomanager, and a reboot, I got a "failed normal boot" error or something similar that was displayed in download mode. The Phone would not go past download mode, so I removed the battery, and launched it into odin mode, to be greeted with what appeared normal to me...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1545
System Status: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
After putting it into odin, and attempting to flash the stock rom for it, ODIN (my desktop client, not the phone) gave me this error...
<ID:0/025> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

And the phone displayed this...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1545
System Status: Official
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
START [224, 1440]
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused 3, Binary : 1
Now I'm thinking the issue was caused by the fact odin is in write protect mode, and I'm thinking that this has been caused by me possibly forgetting to enable usb debugging. Whenever I try to boot the phone, it locks up and says that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mdoe in Kies & try again". I can't get it to boot the OS, or recovery, and I need to know if there is any way to fix this, and also if my friend may still be able to get if fixed for free, and if not, how much it may cost for me to pay. Any assistance that can be provided would be amazing, and I would be happy to provide any more needed info.
To sum up, I need to get odin to allow me to flash the stock firmware, even with write protection enabled. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Or if not, is there a way to manually repair it without flashing? Any means is justifiable now, I don't care how, or how long the process is, I just want to not betray the trust of my friend.
I wish I hadn't done this, and I feel incredibly guilty, even though I only meant well. I'm awfully tight on cash right now, and It would be great if this could be resolved without me having to pay for the repair, but I will if I must. I'll purchase whoever can assist me something on steam or whatever, if that helps. I Just desperately need help.
Thanks,
Chad.
you installed a custom recovery on me7 which you cant, that is why it softbricked. Then you tried flashing the mdk image thru odin, which you also cant do because me7 blocked the loki exploit and blocked installation of prior firmwares. You should be able to get the phone running again by flashing the me7 image via odin.

Sorry to be a bother, can I get a link? I'm new here.
Just flash it as a PDA in odin? I can get to download mode.
or im sure it will be in the short guide.
I edited my post and thru some links in for you. Yes you flash thru pda it explains it in the guide. The guide shows it for gs3 but its the same process for s4.

I'm interested in rooting my new Galaxy S4 but I also would like the original stock rom in case if I ever need to go back to it. Would anyone by any chance have the original stock ROM?
Model: SCH-I545
Android Version: 4.2.2
*If any other details are needed, let me know.
This is a Verizon phone fyi.
Also, could someone please link me to a tutorial/guide for rooting the S4 and some other links that have ROMs that are a "must-get".
Thanks,
Hydra
Read the development forums. The stock image is ready enough to find, as are step by step root instructions. As to your last question, that is the type of thing that gets a thread locked. Read the dev forums, pick a few roms that pique your interest, and give them a test drive.

I'm new here so tried my best to find the correct section, and did search for guides.
I'm currently using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 , but upon flashing the prerelease kernal, it failed.
http://i.imgur.com/MjbRPrK.png
Also, in case of anything, how can I leave ODIN mode on the phone? Do I just power it off and reboot?
CM10.1 has been treating me pretty well. Haven't had any crashes or anything and runs fast and stable.
The only issue I noticed is you can't get a GPS lock while Network & Wireless location is on. Once you disable it GPS locks right in.

The tar file is 1.8 Gbs, is this the only method? I have horrible download speed and going to take 3 hours to download it.
Btw, can someone educate me on what just happened? Did I brick my phone? Will I lose any data?

Nope, I'm working on trying Samsung Kies, maybe that will do it but I tried to get into recovery mode thru the phone but takes me to that same window.
I'm also downloading the stock firmware.
Did you try just flashing the stock kernel back using Odin? Everything you've done is listed in this thread, right? Technically if you tried to flash the pre release kernel and it failed nothing should have happened.

I don't know if it will work but it's worth trying. The stock Odin should definitely fix your problem though. Yes it's in the thread.

Is what I get upon flashing kernel to the stock kernel. I am downloading the stock ROM as I type this. 1 Hour left to download it. Btw, does it matter what type of ROM I download?
Is there a difference from, http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/TAR and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 ?
I'm guessing it's the No Wipe feature?
And what's the worst case scenario with rooting the phone? Anything permanent? If this stock ROM fixes the current problem, then I'll attempt to root once more.

Are you using the factory charging cable to connect to the computer? I don't know why everything keeps failing.... Odin has never failed for me. Do you have another computer you can try this on? Stock charging cable, different usb port or another computer are the things I would try next. I don't know anything about pit files.

Tried two types of cables, a generic one and factory/original one. I tried two different computers with 2 different OS. Tried 3 different ports per computer.
Don't know what else I can do.
Since you're able to boot into Odin mode I think this can be fixed but it may require a pit file. Since I know nothing about pit files or why Odin kept failing for you I'm going to let someone else try and help you. I do not think your phone is beyond hope at this point. Good luck.... I hope someone chimes in with the help you need.

Youre on me7 trying to flash the mdk firmware. Once on me7 you cant revert back to mdk. You cant install custom roms on me7 or custom recovery. Im guessing you flashed a custom recovery and when you tried to boot into recovery it put you in download mode correct?

This is what I did...Battery pull...when you put the battery back in hold the down volume,power and home buttons. as soon as the phone vibrates release the power button and keep holding the other 2. when the prompt comes up"do you really want to do this" or something like that,click no. should boot up normally then.

My bad I mis spoke. Everytime you try to get into recovery itll do that. Reflashing me7 is still suggested so you will atleast have a stock recovery. I also suggest checking out the me7 safestrap thread because when its released youll be able to use custom TW roms then.

Like addiso said no romming for the moment. I would look into xposed ( google xposed framework) and the wanam module from the play store. I actually went from custom roms back to a stock deodexed me7 rom using the aforementioned and i love it. Youll atleast be able to make some mods to your phone that way.

You can see it in the log.
You know, it's my wife's phone. I was going to root it last night but waited. Maybe it updated from MI1 and I didn't check again. God I hope not. If that's the case, should it be fixable when the next root comes out??? Or could it be fixable now???

Go ahead and try the no wipe factory mi1 from the thread I posted.
If it fails you might have had a phone on mj7.
There is no data wipe for that as well. just a different thread in Android dev.
Is the phone soft bricked?

There is a root method already out there, but some people suspect it has embedded malware, but it's not confirmed. A lot of people have used it without issue.

this is why you always check BEFORE attempting root, no matter what even if someone tells me they didn't update their phone or their phone is running blah blah, i always double check because you can never be too safe

There is a root method already out there, but some people suspect it has embedded malware, but it's not confirmed. A lot of people have used it without issue.

Is this a method separate from the one allowing you to maintain root through the MJ7 update? Is it allowing people to root after taking the update without root?

I would say you could send me your phone and I could do the unbrick method for you. But I would feel terrible if I messed it up. It does work though. but i also have jewlers tools and all that jazz. Get it jtagged and be done.
I say it's fixable stop giving him a heart attack...
Odin a 4.1.2 stock rom on there with a .pit
Like the one you asked about before lol
Dude the guy that made the unbricker made it cause he did the same thing... it's not fixable without jtag or unbrick

Lacoursiere18 knows his stuff well. He suggested what I thought would fix it.
Previously last week Corean0213 had similar problem and got it fixed. My apologies I didn't see/overlooked he flashed GT-N7100 firmware on a SCH-1605 this week. Thinking he still didn't do the 4.3 OTA stock firmware I thought he could re flash with Odin. But guess he made a bigger boo boo then expected with wrong device firmware. uch:

Thanks.. I think the problem might be if that bootloader he flashed is locked down.. If it is then I don't think odin can write over it..
I wouldn't say jtag would not work. Best thing to do is call Josh over at mobile tech videos and he'll let you know..He is reasonable and a nice guy, he won't steer you wrong..

Jtag will work. They would have to do the downgrade method where they remove the emmc Chip and flash it. Then proceed as normal

I shouldn't even of bothered but flashed a bootloader that was linked to me. Apparently the wrong one it's a n7100 and I have a i605. I've been told it's not locked and posted several times in the DN3 thread. What can I do?

odin restore back to either mdk or nc5. You can just do a simple google "odin nc5(or mdk) stock tar xda" on Google for instructions.

If you are definitely returning it I would recommend you to flash the nc5 full wipe file on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172. This will remove root, upgrade your base version to a more current one, and wipe your data. Beware though, if you flash nc5 then you won't be able to get your current mdk version back.

Very much the same problem...
Son is up for renewal and was going to trade his verizon s4 in for the s5 this friday but, cant use ODIN or anything else to get it to take
He had been using the hyperdrive aroma rom and the phone was perfect (we havent upgraded to the latest rom, think he was on 17?) and the phone was fine
only reason we were going to take it back to stock was to trade it in.
Have tried to use various methods (ODIN) on this forum and all have failed.
This is a 32Gb S4 if that makes any difference
The latest was trying to use the Verizon SCH-I545 4.2.2 562219 Stock Restore file and it fails everytime
Have used two different computers, 2 different usb cords (wife has one as well) and various versions of ODIN and tar files...all fail
best I can tell is the custom recovery is gone...however I can get into ASR but, all end in fails.
What am i missing here?

Assuming you have good downloads, what version (s) of Odin have you tried? Did you install the correct Samsung drivers? Is USB debugging turned on under settings/more/about phone/developer options? Do you have anti-virus running/active?

I have tried ODIN 1.85. 3.09 and 3.07 that I know of, may have used some others yesterday not sure..wasted about an entire day trying to fix this screwup.
Yes, installed the drivers a couple of times and also tried to use Kies
I cant get into the settings to check the usb debugging at this time because the phone wont boot after the initial flash yesterday
No av running on the computers I was using during the work
I have tried several of the guides on this site multiple times and nothing is working.
I dont know a whole lot about this stuff, usually I get brought in when he screws something up or its not working but, this one is on me trying to take it back to stock so we can trade it in this Friday....so, whatever was done wrong, I did it this time! lol
Couple things that might help someone who understands this more
If I just turn the phone on to "normal boot"..goes to yellow triangle

You said you were using the 4.2.2 files, this is the firmware version you were on?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
I am pretty sure thats what the phone came (4.2.2) with when he/we first got it.
Since then, we upgraded it to the hyperdrive rom and I think, not sure, he was on release 17
So, I believe that requires the phone to be at 4.4.2 but I may be mistaken

You can still run Hyperdrive if you are on 4.2.2 in fact, you can flash just about anything because of the loki exploit on the MDK bootloader. Did you use the files found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751461 and follow the instructions exactly as they are written?

You are sure you are on MDK and 4.2.2?
[Edit]: The reason I ask is because it is failing at aboot.mbn which leads me to believe you are not on MDK. To be on MDK would mean you bought the phone in like the very first week of its release and never took an OTA, is this the case?
Sent from my Empty Galaxy
positive on the mdk...pretty sure on the 4.2.2 but, I cannot be sure at this moment
to my knowledge, he never did any other upgrades without me but, that might not be true!
Problem is, there is no way I can determine or check that with the phone in the condition it is right now...correct?

If you are positive you are on MDK then you're on 4.2.2 as well and no, the NC5 files won't work. Try booting into recovery and wiping cache and wipe data/factory reset then try booting into download mode and running Odin again. Or if you have a backup in zip format on your external SD card you could try side loading that through recovery mode just select "install from zip" or whatever it says.
