Hey everyone,
I just got my s4 a half an hour ago, and i rooted it and tried installing twrp, but it now says update failed, and kies doesent connect to it, and odin wont work with the stock files i use it always says failed. Please help!!!
If your on me7 then your not able to flash a Custom recovery yet. But Make sure your drivers are up to date and you have to Odin back to stock me7.

I got the "verizon has detected unauthorized software" soft brick earlier today, i since have been trying and trying to flash stock in odin to no avail. now, instead of the "detected unauthorized software," i get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies & try again." Kies doesn't do anything and odin fails every time. Can anyone help me? I don't know what else to do.
So you can still get into download mode successfully?

Update I accidentally put a ROM on that was meant for T Mobile
There's a thread by Adam Outler that has the stock 4.1.1 firmware and a .pit file you need to flash in Odin with the .pit file in the partition slot. Then update using Verizon's OTA till your on 4.1.2 then use the newest CASUAL to root and unlock boot loader.

+1. Happened to me on my tablet. The phone is stuck in download mode with that message so just flash the stock firmware and the .pit via Odin and start over.
I was rooted with TWRP. I flashed stock using VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar. Phone boots and runs fine, but when in stock recovery I see a red triangle in the androids belly, When trying to install the new update, I get a update failed, error 402. Any ideas?

All I know is that you need to be COMPLETELY STOCK. My assumption would be that NoWipe is leaving something behind that may be causing the problem. Otherwise it could be the flash count. I was getting the same problem and didn't want to risk trying triangle away so I called it quits.

I was stock rooted with cwm....I was also getting 402 after using no wipe..I wound up biting the bullet and flashed the full stock kernel...lost all my settings...hooked up the phone to the pc and installed the verizon update program...the new update came down with no problem....I did of course have to re customize my phone..no biggie since im a firm believer that you should do a factory restore after each update anyway
I was completely stock and rooted and updated whole retaining root.

I'm having the same issue. Had the pre-release kernel and stock root just to freeze apps. Got the error on the update so did no wipe which didn't work. Tried doing complete .tar and .pit restore then update and still getting the error. Checked the count in TA and it was at 0. Tried tether update and failed. Now i'm trying the tether repair tool which is currently running.
Forgot i even tried installing just the stock kernel as well with no effect.

I think ive have tried every possible way to flash used every usb port and still cannot get my phone to flash on odin. Does anyone have any suggestions.
what ive done so far:
Used Odin3Excutionv1.81 (flashes SCH-I45 MDK Stock Restore)
Failed
Used Odin3Excution v1.81( flashes SCH-I545 MDK Kernel)
Successful
Used Odin 3.07v
Flashed Modem
Flashed Recovery
Flashed Kernel
These had to be run through odin a couple times before it would flash or pass.
Then after I tried to flash Stock Restore and that fails.
Im all out of options have, and have put many hours into getting nowwhere please if someone has any suggestions I would love to think that this isnt a 700 dollar paper i have sitting here.
When booting up I get a message that says," Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.(Tried that also)
Which version of the firmware were you on prior?

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 ME7 build that has been rooted with Safestrap and working fine. Today I wanted to unroot it, so I used Odin v. 3.07 to flash this file: I545VRUAME7_I545VZWAME7_I545VRUAME7_HOME.tar.md5. This failed in Odin (attached is screenshot of Odin dialog). I took out the battery and tried to turn the phone back on, and got the download screen with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". Unfortunately, I did all of this before uninstalling safestrap and I don't know if that's the issue. I can still get into Odin mode, but don't know what to do from here. Please help! Thanks!
U can't flash through Odin in me7 that's the whole reason safestrap is on our phones to begin with

So, is there any way to fix this?
Have you tried the "no-wipe" recovery image? I believe there is one available for your build.

The image I tried to flash via Odin was no-wipe, but I don't know how to flash it if I shouldn't use Odin...Are there any options for me to get my phone functional again??

SOLVED: I don't know what I did differently, but after trying for the millionth time, I got past Odin mode and my phone rebooted.
Hey guys, I recently got a replacement device from best buy because my old ones screen broke. I successfully rooted the new device using the towelroot method. I just tried to install the loki recovery via goomanager and when I rebooted it just boots into odin mode and says that it "could not do normal boot." I've tried everything I can think of but cant get it to boot. Any help?

Have actually research what firmware you have and what recovery can be used. You do know that unless you have mdk...you can't use goomanger or twrp or Cwm right?

I believe you are going to have to go with SafeStrap 3.72. You don't have an unlocked bootloader but Safestrap isn't bad. You can still install some really good roms
The problem is that I can't boot my phone now. It just boots into Odin mode. When I got my phone originally it wasn't mdk so I didn't have to deal with safestrap. So I didn't know there was other options.

if you can get into download mode and have Odin, flash a full wipe or a no wipe tar and start over.
