[Q] not sure if this would be considered bricked or not..... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

this guy had the same problem i am having now. except he was upgrading from 2.3 to ICS. I was on MJ7 and one of my genius stellar friends told me i could odin back to MI1. well i actually did it, so im obviously just as much of a genius as he is. Nonetheless his description of his problem is identical to mine. that said, the solution offered up for him was obviously applicable to the builds he was working with. With knox being present in the MJ7, i believe i may just be screwed. Im stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." screen even after I reboot. it just reboots on its own to that screen after i turn it off. any advise? Id like to get it to a reasonable sellable state if possible so i can put any money i get out of it towards the nexus 5. Ive also tried all the Kies suggested troubleshooting multiple times as he did.
"Now the phone shows an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
When i connect the phone via the cabe, to the computer, using Kies, it gives me error saying "Device not responding. To resolve the issue, reboot the device."
This is how I tried to resolve the issue, but with no success..
I have rebooted a number of times without success
I clicked on 'Troubleshoot connection error' and reinstalled the driver multiple times, but without any success"

Same happened to me today. Find the MJ7 Modem Odin file and flash that and you'll be good

You need to get back into recovery and reload the ROM. Are you having an issue getting into Recovery Mode?

Help with bootloop

Hi all.
Would really appreciate some help here. I'm trying to unroot/back to stock my S3 before selling it. I was running CM10.1 on it. Here is what I did:
- downloaded a zip from "Samsung updates". Unzipped it and it had a tar.md5 and another file called "SS_DL.dll"
- downloaded Odin 3.07
- started Odin, then plugged the phone while in Download mode. The ID:COM turned blue.
- loaded the tar.md5 in PDA and clicked start
-the image flashed and said successful at the end
now I'm stuck at boot loop. Was the flashing procedure correct?? Or was the image corrupted or something??

Before flashing through Odin anything you got to make sure you have the right .tar files. That being said, you searched for the .tat file corresponding your device?
Edit: Another thing, when you plug your phone in download mode the right color is yellow. It doesnt matter what is says it has to be yellow before continuing.

[Q] Unauthorized Software Screen

I know there is an answer in this section somewhere, but I did not entirely understand the one I found. Also, I believe I am having trouble installing the drivers/not sure where to check if they are installed.
Also, I have windows 8 if that changes anything
thanks for any help!
You don't give any details on what you were doing or anything, but I think this is what you want to start with before trying anything else.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35265728
Sorry about that, I ran CASUAL, but i guess i had a problem with that, I thought I was unlocked and rooted after completing it, but it turns out I was only rooted and I tried to flash a ROM without and unlocked bootloader.
Your bootloader is locked.
You must Odin back to start and redo the whole process.
I root then unlock then flash twrp then ROMs
I never had a problem.
Or you could start at the very first post here. That days questions about soft bricks

THANKS
I have tried to go into recovery notta.......there was an image recovery downloaded. SHOULD I HAVE USED CWM????
Your bootloader wasn't unlocked. Use Odin to flash back to stock and make sure your bootloader is unlocked before flashing clean rom.

Did you put it in download mode? Hold volume down+ home while powering on the phone.

You may also need to download the drivers for the note 2 so the computer will recognize it
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Odin is reconizing the drivers cause there is 'com' number so from what i understand the drivers are installed.
Heres my problem , Odin is going down the checklist (or whatever it is doing) when it gets to the sboot.bin it stops and says
< ID: 0/005'Complete write/ operation failed'
<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0 / fail 1)
I would assume the ID is bc the 'com' nuber was 5
I think i have found evry thread out there to try and fix this via Odin.....but you guys are the experts
I dont know what else to do P L E A S E help all I want it to be is restored------
I downloaded the correct drivers directly from samsung
I had the same error /problem after installing twrp without realizing my bootloader was still locked. I followed the instructions in this link (1b directions) and flashed back to 4.1.1. Then took the 4.1.2 update and used Adams casual utility to root and unlock. I'm not an expert by any means but this worked for me.

Also make sure to use the "Alternate Restore" file as it does not contain the bootloader. It's a. Xz file and you will need to unzip it with 7zip or something else.

Yea I saw this thread- bottom line which download do I take? the : Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12
or: Root66 stock VRALJB 4.1.1 12/2/12
and Im not sure of the "alternate restore" file you are referring to...Im sorry
I am not an expert either....especially with the note II since I just got it via 3rd party SWAPPA bc of not wanting to loose my unlimited data. I was told it was unlocked and obviously I was F'd
Also- I saw this thread last night I downloaded the (Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12) and did the instructions to the "T" and still got failed-did I miss something...
I hope you or some others are out there to help me ....I would love to get this up and running
On the thread with the official there is a download link below the official and mirrors titled Alternate Restore. It doesn't contain the bootloader and I believe that is the file you need to use. If your bootloader is locked odin fails at the point where the file you're downloading tries to download the new bootloader, hence the need for the file without the bL. Does that make sense?

here are the steps. Flash root66 which will bring back your note to life and the software would be 4.1.1. Use Jailbreak tool to unlock the bootloader and you will be golden.

Yes it sorta does (i am still learning) and WOW i read the the bold print about the alternate restore but never ever saw the download file ( i wasnt looking)
Is that the file you used??? and then went to Casual and let that do its thing? (which I have already downloaded to my laptop)
That is what I did. I read about the method droidxrooting said but can't personally speak for it (but I'm sure it works too). If you use the file I used just remember to unzip it even though it's not labeled a zip file and make sure you use the correct casual method.

btw- rashone i want to aske did you also put the file (SCH-I605_16gb.Pit) in the PIT section like it was suggested???
My files were in dl folder too after unzipping. It seems like I flashed the pit file too becuase I had it on my computer. I believe I had to check the repartition box in odin when using the pit file too. I was about to throw my phone before doing this so hopefully it works for you too...

[Q] My S4 is missing recovery!!!

Okay I hope someone can help me! This is what happened, I had a rooted MDK version and wanted to upgrade to ME7 since there was a root for it so i upgraded then re-rooted now running ME7 rooted. But i tried to install a custom recovery (forgot that ME7 bootloader isnt unlocked -_-) so now i basicly DELETED my recovery. My phone turns on fine but for example if i hold POWER and UP it boots to download mode and on top is says "failed to boot" So basicly can somone please explain to me how to install the original recovery WITHOUT losing any of my phone data? THANKS!
You should have done some reading first, but you've now found out you can't flash a recovery when on mf3. Join the many others. It probably boots into download mode. When it does can you cancel that with vol down?
Edit, as far as getting the recovery back, you can't afaik

No nothing works when in that mode, I have to take the battery out and back in and turn it on normal and it boots up fine just the recovery mode doesn't work. This isn't a crazy concern just annoying so your saying there is NO fix? I just have to wait until the find a way to unlock the bootloader then install a custom recovery?
