I need help to revive my ME7 SCH-I545 VERIZON. my device was rooted and had a twrp recovery. accidently I installed 4.3 on stock slot in TWRP. Now I can't boot anymore into sys or recovery. I tried to flash stock rom through ODIN but it failed with "no pit partition error".
I loaded a pit file (which I am not sure is compatible with ME7) and it failed again.
I don't know how to remove the TWRP recovery while the device is dead. It seems to me the logical thing to do because of pit error in odin.
Any idea?

Well it's impossible to have TWRP on ME7 so that might be you're first problem.

As far as I know I had a twrp. I installed it and got a recovery which I encounter the first time: first an option to choose if to continue to system or to recovery. press recovery and then you get all the options like boot options, install, wipe and so on. I had my stock rom me7 installed on the stock slot and I installed a custom rom on slot 1. My mistake was to install the new ver 4.3 on the stock slot instead of an new slot.
I hope that I convinced you. I still need a help! my device is dead!

Oh you had Safestrap not TWRP lol but sorry I never used Safestrap, you should ask in the thread for it.

joshm.1219 thank you for trying.
I finally found an uncorrupted tar file. I flashed it with odin and everything is working now.
I can say now with certainty that most files out there are corrupted which is very bad news for us users.

Hey Guys,
So I was running the google experience rom v3 and I decided to head on over to another rom but forgot to wipe before hand and my phone got a little wonky. I eventually ended up doing a complete Odin factory flash which brought me right back to VRUAMDK, when I went to install the OTA update to VRUAME7 my phone would reboot but would not apply and changes and I would get a notification telling me I cant update. I used an Odin flash to the VRUAME7 stock rom and that worked but for some reason I cant flash any sort of recovery now. Booting into recovery just brings me to download mode. I've tried flashing a recovery with Odin with failures on the write. Did I seriously F&#$ up my Nand? I just want to be able to run a recovery and have my GE S4 back Any help would be majorly appreciated.

The VRUAME7 firmware patched the Loki exploit and therefore you can not install a custom recovery. Right now all you can do is root the device also there is no way to go back to the VRUAMDK firmware.

Wow, am I really that oblivious? apparently.. any reason why this might not work on VRUAMDK either? pretty sure I tried flashing through goomanager on that and ran into the same issue..
mark,
I have messed up my device. It has phil recovery on in and beans b7 version in there. I can boot into recovery but every time after beansintall it kicks me back into download mode. I have done a twrp like backup using phil recovery but I get and error ( is prob corrupted),
Any ideas how to bring this back to life? I have an MI1 version on it. with a Y it was.
Maybe there is an aroma setting in which I can flash and boot.
Any odin tar images?
I have tried the tar below but it cannot get the aboot.
thanks

Yes it is a developer. I have tried only the tar in the link above. it did not get pass aboot.bin and some other file.
the recovery is intact and I have beans b7 rom in a zip on the phone. I was hoping that maybe there is an aroma combination I can use.
Also in Phil's cwm there is the option to disable the loki at the dev ed does not need this.
I was wondering if there are any factory tars out there for the dev edition
thanks

No there isn't. What was the error message on aboot? Try flashing another rom in recovery.

ok so i know the SACS thread is closed. i was reading on youtube that the reason that V4 was giving people (including me) network problems is because of the baseband. its saying to be on version N900PVPUCNC5. i checked and im on Version N9000PVPUCNAB. im just asking for a little help. i really like sacs. so is there any way to revert to N900PVPUCNC5 so i can make v4 work? any suggestions will help. thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715034 nab is the old version. You are most likely having problems because you need to upgrade (not revert) to nc5. Read through that link then grab the file and flash in Odin. After you Odin to nc5 you will need to reinstall a recovery so make sure you have that file ready. After you install recovery you need to wipe everything including your internal sd and system. Reboot recovery and install sacs rom. Not much to it just sounds like there is a lot.

Hey so I followed the thread. I'm now on NC5. But my phone isn't rooted. (Or not rooted properly from what root checker is saying) I tried rooting with Odin. I even flashed the recovery twrp through odin. Nothing. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

When I first got my second GS4 (about 6 months ago) I rushed to root it and install a recovery (forgetting that the MK2 build has a locked bootloader) I attempted to flash CWM with ODIN and now if I boot to recovery it goes straight to the ODIN Downloading screen. The phone is still fully functional other than the recovery and it is rooted. Since screwing it up I've been looking for a way to fix this I know that i should have used the LOKI method to flash CWM. Is this something that i could fix by flashing stock firmware? or am I out of luck? Thanks.

If your phone is NOT mdk base...you can not use loki or goo manager or rom manager or twrp. Safestrap only can be used. To clean up the mess mostly requires odin of the clean image of your firmware mk2.

Thanks Tulsadiver I'll give that method a try ... and Thanks to decaturbob for the warning about LOKI, I must have missed that when I was reading over the thread ... I probably would have screwed up my phone again.

Use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp. Then use twrp recovery to install custom ROMs.

I tried using Odin 3.10.7 to flash the twrp, but, it is not working, any further suggestions. I read something about an MD5 file....what is it....do I need that

There are no errors, as such, I flashed the twrp recovery 6.0.2 . Then it rebooted, i tried to get into recovery, but, it didnt work.
Earlier I had used odin 1.85 . This time I used odin 3.10.7 .
