I got my s4 (i545) from verizon about 1 1/2 months ago and I did receive the lastest ota when i got my phone. Once i came across a new method to install custom roms using safestrapi believe i used the me7 version of hyperdrive. Once I installed the custom rom, everything was fine and dandy. I rebooted and got a message from verizon saying you been messing with your phone. So than i researched how to fix a soft brick and came across this site to use
rom - SCH-I545_VZW_1_20130613171315_24s13crny1_fac.zip
rom2 - SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore
Note: It appears the site i used to install safestrap didnt include FLASH HASCODES FIX OVER TOP OF ROM.

I am trying to find a stock rom that will let me re-flash. I hope someone has came across this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You need to find the me7 Odin restore file. You can't downgrade from me7 to mdk that is the reason safe strap had to be created

Your running out in PDA slot in Odin and only have auto-reboot checked? Your Odin print out looks like it's trying. What version of odin are you using? I've had best luck with 1.85
Yes that is correct.. auto-reboot is the only one checked.. and i have used 1.85 and the 3+ versions

Have you been able to fix this? I have the same setup as you: VZW GS4, Odin fails in the same spot, I am using a Mac and Fusion 7 with Win7 VM.
Thanks.
*UPDATE: (Oct 21)*
I was able to successfully flash/recover stock ME7 using ODIN on my Win7 laptop, instead of connecting to Win7 in a VM on my Mac.
Thanks for the reply I ended up sending it to a service on ebay

For a Mac, you should be using Heimdall, which is a OSX native application that does what Odin does on Windows.

Information about my phone first off:
Phone Name: Samsung Galaxy S3
Carrier: T-Mobile
Locale: (US)
Model: SGH-T999
Update (01:38PM EST): ROMs from the list I was using were bad. Loaded a customer ROM and had no issue getting it resolved.
Update (08:54AM EST): I attempted an install and the error that came back when trying to install OTA_T999_UVALJ4_UVDLJA.zip. Said an MD5 file was missing.
Update (08:42AM EST): I'm downloading the OTA Update fro UVALJ4 - UVDLJA and will report back shortly once it finishes downloading.
Worth noting: I have backed up anything important to me from Titanium Back Up so I am not to worried about loss of data.
So I thought I'd finally jump up to Jelly Bean and keep my rooted status on my phone. I initially started out having an issue just downloading an OTA update from T-Mobile thinking my rooting was doing something to prevent it from updating. I searched and found a way to update via Kies, but lost root in the process. I attempted to use a root option which apparently wasn't the correct one and I found myself no longer booting into my phone. It displaying an error about needing to access Kies and trying to the recovery option. I ran its recovery option, but it was not seeing my device on the list so I pulled the software and drivers from my machine, rebooted and tried again to no avail, Kies was still not seeing my phone and any chance of recovering from this felt like it was going down the toilet. I still have access to the boot screen for downloading and my recovery program TWRP on it. I ran into issue attempting to install new firmware with Odin getting failed errors. I looked up said errors relating to ext4 and came up empty. I am certain I deleted something important but I am still in a position to load from my external SD card and Odin on my machine can make attempts to push firmware over, but I am at an impasse here because about most of the way in, it fails. I tried using the root firmware listed here. I downloaded T999_UVDLJA at the top of that list and only had Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time per instructions noted in that topic.

Have you tried flashing a custom ROM based on stock? That way you might be able to re-install the drivers and other such important system files.

What drivers? I tried a OTA, but no luck. It complained there was no MD5 file and when I got one with an MD5 file, it says it couldn't open then the zip file.

How does a ROM vary in comparison to the firmware that Odin uses? I am assuming not, but TWRP seems to use ZIP files to do their installs instead of tar files like Odin. How am I supposed to be packaging these?

The custom ROMS found the development sections are either based on CM10/AOSP/AOKP or Samsung's Original touchwiz. Most of these ROMS have been modified to improve stability, performance and battery life. They also come prepackaged with SuperSU (root).
Example
Download this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804260
Copy it to your sd-card, pop it back into s3, go to TWRP>Mount> Use External SD. Go back to the main menu and Install the ROM. This one comes with an aroma installer so you can further customize what you want to install.

illmatic24, it appears that ROM I was using was just bad. Though that makes me wonder if I will ever be able to find the original if I ever decide to sell this phone. That ROM you linked me to is amazing, there are more options there than I know what to do with.

I'm glad it worked. Cheers and don't forget to thank the developer of the ROM.
I am having nearly the same problem with my Samsung SPH-l710. This thread seems to indicate the OP had a bad file download. I may have a new problem.
Today, I tried the process linked here:
http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-sprint-sph-l710.html
I had used a similar one about a year a go and it worked great.
This time, the process failed.
The phone will no longer boot (gets stuck on the logo screen). I can still hold "vol down + home + power".
I did a search and found this thread. I re-downloaded the file hoping my download was bad, same result.
So, then I got the latest stock rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737859
It fails also - here is the (last part) of the output window from Odin3:
------------------------------------------------------
<ID:0/003> system.img.ext4
<ID:0/003> __Xmit Write fail
<ID:0/003> XmitData Fail..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
------------------------------------------------------
I think it said that same thing, or similar, the first time.
It fails here for any rom I try.
What am I doing wrong? Surely all these roms aren't bad?
Thanks for any help.
Also, I have tried several brand new micro USB cables, and different USB ports, as suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761870
I tried one more thing - I killed Kies as suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082081
STILL it didn't work...
Then I moved to my windows 7 laptop - problem fixed!
I spent like 7 hours on this, and all I had to do was move to my laptop.
What a major pain...I found one more forum for a Samsung galaxy note (can't remember what version) who moved to a laptop and it worked. I will post the link if I can find that thread again.
Update: Root has been achieved, and Safestrap works - See here
This is a new update for SCH-1545 taking users to VRUDMI1. This is the stock factory image, taken straight from Kies. At this point only download for research or curiosity because this build has not been tested again for root access and you very well may loose both root and custom recovery by flashing this. So far I see a lot of Knox related stuff. Also, If you need to go back to stock for whatever reason I suggest using the VRUAME7 (or MDK) factory image instead. Both VRUAME7 and VRUAMDK stock Odin tars contained 14 partitions over which they would write over. However, in the newest build VRUDMI1, only 13 partitions are wrote over because it doesn’t contain a persdata.img.ext4.
Changes so far in this build:
1. VRUMDI1 DOES NOT WIPE THE PERSDATA PARTITION! (persdata.img.ext4)
2. ROOT METHOD FOR VRUAME7 NO LONGER WORKS ON THIS BUILD! - NEW ROOT METHOD here
3. New system apps are included, read more here
Nonetheless, if you want to rose root and recovery (maybe forever) then,
1. Unzip the file and you should have a tar.md5
2. Select the tar.md5 in Odin under PDA and keep Odin's default settings
3. Click start and wait for it to say pass

Once you are on MK2, you can't flash an older release. MI1 is older than MK2, so you're trying to flash backwards.
What are you trying to accomplish? Since you're on MK2, root it, install Safestrap, then flash a custom ROM.
I suggest you read the following sticky thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501
And this thread as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578569
Flashing without understanding what you're doing will quickly brick your phone if you're not careful.
Good god I'm ashamed... I thought it was a newer build LOL explains alot!

Believe it or not I know what I am doing, I miss read something and thought I1 was above K2, and thinking that I couldn't understand what was happening. It's very hard to really brick an S4 if u are moderately educated in the subject you can get out of most situations. Even doing numbskull things like what I did. Was a long bad day of work, working on old out of date servers for 12 hrs can really melt your brain.

Using big fonts doesn't help. :laugh:
You tried to flash ME7. Why? What build were you running prior to your failed flash? What did you try to flash that failed?
Probably CM, AOSP, or some other build that's never going to work..
At this point, I'd suggest installing Samsung Kies and using the emergency firmware recovery.
Then, before flashing ANYTHING ELSE. reading at least the stickies in this and the general forum.
What you did was completely avoidable.

I don't know why i was trying to flash ME7. I found it on another thread on here and a lot of people said it worked for them, not for me. I was running 4.3. I tried flashing SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5 two other unknown recoveries I found here and there.
I tried installing Kies. I got it installed and everything but my phone will not connect to Kies. I have tried multiple different downloads for drivers and the troubleshooting in Kies. It just won't work.
Any ideas??

First idea would be stop flashing random builds. You need to find out what build you are on, and flash that through Odin. Once you update to a newer build, you cannot revert back to an older build.

couldn't help yourself?? This is a $600 phone and you have to be sure what you are doing before you proceed. Not sure how to direct you from here.

Apparently, based on another thread, he's running MJ7. Hopefully flashing that will get it working.

Hey guys, I need some help. I was switching roms and I guess i must have deleted my storage. So I had no rom to install and no backup. I tried to odin back to stock and it failed. Now my phone will only boot to odin mode but it says firmware upgrade encountered a problem. I searched and searched for answers and tried many things but no solutions seem to work. I have tried one click MJ4 full restore, and one click NAB full restore and neither work. they fail. So what can I try next? I have been working on this for hours and I have to go to work in 5 hours and need my phone. Please help.

What was on your phone prior to this happening?
We need the back story up to when you started flashing 2 separate operating systems onto your device (JellyBean, MJ4, TouchWiz KitKat, NAB).
You mention that you were switching roms...what rom were you on, and to what rom did you try to flash?

I was on this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567499 and was trying to switch to this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696396
However I never even started the write because I deleted everything on accident prior to trying to write the rom. I was S-OFF and rooted and I believe I was on 4.3.
Oh then the first thing I did was try to odin this file: N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_N900PVPUCNC5_HOME.tar.md5
That failed, then I tried the 2 previously mentioned one click odin stocks.
Oh and I was on TWRP 2.6.1 but now I have no recovery.

The MJ4 tar would've worked had you flashed it (you were on MJ4, JellyBean, but on a prerooted rom).
Having failed at MJ4, going with the NAB and NC5 (both KitKat), may have sent your system into a nosedive of confusion.
Tell me if you can get into download mode at all home + power + volume down).
Your version of TWRP is old, but that has nothing to do with this. You need to put your phone back to stock, then upgrade if you want to flash a KitKat rom.
The MJ4 tar file will put stock everything back on your phone, even recovery, so your TWRP will be gone...but you can get it back.
Let me know if you can get into download mode, and we can take it from there.

I can get in to download mode, but it has a triangle with exclamation mak and it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. However the phone still comunicates with oden. The writting process starts but fails every time. I did the 1 click mj4 and it fails as well.
And I don't need to hold buttons to get to download, it's the only screen the phone goes to no matter what.

Please quote me when responding, if you don't mind. It let's me know that you've posted something.
As long as you can get into download mode, you can do something, hopefully.
A bricked device doesn't get into anything, won't even power into that screen. It's called brick for that reason.
What happens when you do volume up + power + home? Nothing, stock recovery, download mode, etc? Also, power down completely, and remove your SD card.
You can try...
1. Flashing the tar file via PC Odin in lieu of the one-click package (perhaps at this point not a possibility given that you've tried to flash the latest NC5 tar
2. Taking into Sprint where a root tolerant tech is available, and have them put the latest firmware on it for you, over-the-wire style (speak little, play clueless, Google around before going into the brick-and-mortar location
3. Flashing the NAB or NC5 tar, same way (you already have tried one or both of these I believe
Ultimately, option 2 may be your best hope.
Good luck!

remove battery from phone..... now with battery removed reinstall battery. boot to recovery by holding volume+ and power button simultaneously.
if you can access any type of stock recovery do a full wipe from it. not if you cant try rebooting computer . try usb in a different port. sometimes its something so simple. could even be a cord issue. do you have another cord to try? any micro usb will work.

I think either trying it from a Windows PC (shouldn't matter, but why not try) or carefully selecting a Sprint store (root friendly tech, knows what he or she is doing) for an over-the-wire update, are worth a shot.

Overnight, I downloaded the SM-N900P NC5 Full Restore Unrooted (Compressed Archive).exe. This morning, I followed the instruction in that XDA post, plugged the phone, hit start, and crossed my fingers. Fifteen minutes of sweating later I had a factory stock phone again and I let out that big breath I was holding. Now, I am deciding if I want to root again and try another wifi hack. Thanks for the help. You are a lifesaver...a phone save for sure.

Congratulations! Your Knox flag is still 0x1 though so you are not "factory stock". Once you root and/or install a custom recovery that flag is set and can't be reset, at least not on our phones yet.

Go into the Android Dev section for the Note 3. Freeza, Sac23, Joshbeach all have NC5 Roms that have the wifi hack built in. Also, Josh has a Mod section and has the hotspot hack itself.
