I rooted my me7 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

and tried to install open recovery script using goomanager. It put me into the download mode. I was finally able to get out of it. Do I need to do anything to clean up anything or just wait till the me7 is able to install a custom recovery?
Today I was using nav a bit and my device turned off on me several times. I don't know what's causing that to happen. Don't know if it has something to do with root or not. Hasn't happened before I rooted.

If your device is in the window it could be overheating. You could try uninstalling any updates/data and re update if that doesnt work then I would flash the me7 image through odin and re root and see if that solves the problem. Im on an me7 based rom and dont have that problem.

It was in my hand...
How do I do that? I can't use Odin because I have a Mac.

Hey Hexitnow...Didn't want to hijack the other thread but you said to reflash. Do I just do that by running the script in the terminal emulator on the phone again like I did the first time?

That im not sure about i dont think there is an odin version for mac. I could be wrong tho because ive never really looked either. There is another program called heimdall (google it and you can find it, instructions are in the readme) and you should be able to flash using that. But I would try uninstalling any updates/data before hand and see if that solves it.
Edit:
Rerun the script? Sorry im a little lost there.

How do I do that? ...and in the other thread you said I should reflash so I would have a stock recovery.

This is the method I used.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380325

I gotcha. You can do it through application manager. After you get me7 reflashed then yeah you just do the same process over to get root back.

I'm bit of a noob again. I had Android for several years but I've had an iphone for the last 4 or 5 years and I've forgotten everything. Could you give me a step by step on what I should do? And does reflash mean going back to unrooted?

If you go into settings, more, application manager then scroll to the app in question youll see the options. When i say reflash I mean flashing the me7 stock image. After flashing it it puts your phone back to how it was when you first pulled it out of the box.

If you took an ota while wanting to unlock your bootloader you probably shouldn't unlock. You'll end up bricking your phone

Hello droidstyle,
I also bricked my phone today. I searched the forums and found someone in virtually the same situation where there issue was caused by a locked bootloader. I assure you I did unlock mine before trying to flash the Rom that brought me to the "unauthorized software detected" message but I'm guessing the app I used didn't work.
You advised the other guy to download and flash the "restore" file from step 1b instead of the regular one from 1a. After downloading the file and clicking on PDA in Odin, the "restore" file doesn't even show up on the list of files I can pull into Odin. What am I doing wrong?

Ez unlock is for the s3 only. There is only one way to unlock the note 2 and is found in original development.
Also not to be a jerk, but why in the world would you think it was gonna work? There is literally not 1 reference to ez unlock in any of the note forums.

[Q] Stuck in Download mode

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4. Today I rooted it. It all went fine, but I wanted to install a custom recovery. I followed a tutorial online, which lead me to downloading the Goo manager, and installing TWRP via that. I rebooted, and it went straight into download mode. It would not leave download mode, it continuously loops back to that. I connected it up to Odin, and downloaded the stock firmware to flash. The progress bar came up, loaded for a few minutes. Then, I got a big FAIL message. (Using 3.04). Now, its still in DL mode, but it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Tried flashing the stock firmware again, but keeps failing. Tried different USB ports, but keeps failing. Any suggestions?

Can't find a tar file flashable via Odin. All I can find is the Loki method, which I cannot do because I'm stuck in DL mode. Waiting on a download of a different stock firmware.

Nope.
Turn your phone all the way off and then use the button combo for odin, decline and it should boot. DoubleCheck your firmware version because what youre describing is what happens when you flash a recovery on me7, which you cant.

Not a problem. Yep youre on the me7 firmware like I thought. Im guessing your trying to flash the mdk firmware thru odin? Me7 wont let you flash anything prior is why youre getting the errors. Youll have to download the me7 odin file (in dev section) and flash again. Once you get your phone booted again you cant flash a custom recovery or else itll do the same again. Theres a few people working on unlocking/bypassing the bootloader so hopefully it wont be much longer until me7 has custom recovery.

I am reaching out for help. ODIN not flashing, and bricked.

Hello fellow members.
I have an S4 SCH-I545
I feel as if I'm out of options, I have read many forums for the past 3 days and cannot find a method that works. I am currently soft bricked and cannot get ODIN to successfully flash anything. When I pull the battery and try to boot it immediately takes me to ODIN Mode, and I can't seem to get into anything but that. Just recently it has given me a new image that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I don't exactly know what it is referring to but I have Kies and there is only an emergency recover area and that does nothing.
Am I out of options? Any help is extremely appreciated.
If I left anything out let me know.

Verizon s4 that was on nc5 baseband-i don't know the bootloader, but it was 4.4.2 if that helps. Rooted with towel root and twrp through too manager. Yeah, I know that's where the problem came from. So now the phone is (hopefully) in a soft brick state stuck in down load or Odin mode. Odin recognizes the phone. I don't care to keep DAT or retain root, I just was it to function.

Then I flashed twrp 2.7.1 for jfltevzw with gooo manager and after that my problems began. Phone would not come out of Odin mode. I did try to Odin the nc5 emergency no wipe and it failed changing the Odin screen to the one that snoopy described.

Alright sorry to make you write that again.. I just now saw you included your quote from an earlier post.
Are you able to hop onto your PC and copy and paste what the Odin error is into this thread?
Trying to flash a custom recovery on anything other than MDK will certainly lead to a soft brick most of the time. However you should be able to recover your phone back.
Using the full wipe NC5 Odin file should do it.. However if that's not working for you only those errors being posted here will allow the right people to help you along.
May seem silly but have you tried simply trying another USB cable? I've seen people on here have Odin flashes fail just due to the cable.
Grab the Odin errors though if you can

Yep, from the thread you suggest.......... "The number one reason people brick their Verizon Galaxy S4 phones is due to attempts to flash recovery using Goo Manager, dd, and other tools without understanding when those will or won't work. The Verizon S4 is very locked down, and will reject such attempts in most cases."

So I followed what you said and ended up using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
I did the full wipe version, and it was successful, however I still cannot boot. It will give me the samsung icon with the unlocked padlock, and then just go black, I still can boot into ODIN mode but not into recovery. Any idea what's going on?

Try booting into stock recovery and do a Factory Data Reset and wipe cache then reboot.

Also once you're back to stock run Tri Angle Away to get rid of that annoying CUSTOM screen at boot lol can't stand that thing and on my phone it can make getting into CWM a pain as well.

I can't seem to get into stock recovery either. I tried re-flashing and I still get the same results, when I try to boot into recovery I get the Samsung logo with the unlocked padlock, and then it just shuts down. :/
