I have the mk2 version of the galaxy s4. I had a rom installed using safe strap. I am planning on selling the phone to someone so i wanted to put it back to stock before I give it to them. When i loaded the default partition and ran the stock rom when I tried to do the newest update it kept failing. So I unrooted my phone and went into safestrap and deleted the 2nd partition I would not be using. I also did a factory reset and wiped everything else. Now when I tried to reboot the phone it is stock on the screen that says Samsung and says samsung with a lock. It will not go past there. PLEASE HElp!!
also when I do hold volume up, power and the home screen I see a flash of blue at the top left of the screen like it would go to recovery but it just resets and gets stuck.
In before the lock

i like thor better but odin will work. but if you need something magical, best go with loki.
If I'm not mistaken, you should just be able to flash "MK2VZW-downgrade4rooting-AIOdin-gogolie.rar" from the "4.x to 4.4.2 SAFEUp&Downgrade w Root n SafeStrap feat. 1File/Flash&Done!MK2-NC2/NC5" thread in ODIN and you'll be back to stock MK2 without root. From there you can do whatever, root it, leave it as is, upgrade to NC5, etc.
(anti-spam system won't let me use URL links, sorry!)

so, I was trying to update the OS on my Galaxy S3, it was rooted, so I couldnt just update, I had the stock rom on, and wanted to go back and remove the root, but im an idiot, and deleted everything, lost the backups too.
so now my phone has nothing. going into recovery goes to team win recovery project v2.3.3.1. even when its plugged into my computer, it wont allow me to access the sd card.
ANYONE, have any ideas on how I can get the stock rom onto it?

The thing is that you need to re-flash Sammy Stock 4.1.2 ROM thru Odin and when the phone boots up, you can go into recovery and factory reset your phone to stock settings and UI. Simple as that!
Don't forget to wipe cache also so nothing weird happens with your S3!

I suggest taking a look at the safestrap thread in the general section. Hashcode is working on a method for me7 romming. Its a wip at the moment. Also take a look at xposed framework and the wanam module on the play store. Youll atleast be able to do some general customization. I use it and its pretty damn awesome.

Don't mean to jack the thread, but I've got a related question.
While rooting my friends phone I attempted to flash a recovery... But the phone is on ME7 so it obviously didn't work. Now there's no working recovery. With that, can't do a factory reset because it boots to the Odin screen on reboot.
Any way to reflash the stock recovery?

There was some stock recocery images posted here on the forums but I dont have links. If you cant find them you coulf always reflash the stock me7 image via odin. If you have apps and their data you dont want removed there is also no wipe stock images as well. Both are posted in the dev section.

**********************MK2 and Newer Firmware Only*******************************
I'm back I have had time to totally rework the process. I have attached a PDF that contains the instructions as well as I link to all the files you will need.
All I ask if that if you have a problem with the process post or PM me if you dont think the instructions are clear enough please PM me so I can get it resolved first.
I have uploaded all the files that you will need and put them all in one place.
Added Screenshots of what to put in Odin!!!
Instead of using the rooted NC5 rom towards the end of the process, can I just use some other NC5 rom like HD16?
I haven't tested it yet with hd16. I would use the nc5 rooted and then make a backup in safestrap. So you can go back and forth.

Made my first error on the first step... Quick notes for first timers so far::
- push UP to get in to download mode
- ODIN will not recognize your com port until you do so.
- Make sure that re-partition IS checked when you're flashing the first PIT file(the image in the pdf shows it unchecked so that's what I did)
- Whoa, totally missed when the phone turned itself off to reboot and was stuck at the Verizon logo. Unplugged phone and pulled battery then powered and pressed up to get in to recovery to wipe data/factory reset
I'll keep updating this post as I make more mistakes lol
Down went to download mode for me and your right but the image was blank without files. Just to show the version.

Once you pit the pit file and the other files the repartition should be automatically checked. Also up should go to recovery.

Yep, I'm on 4.3 now, going through saferoot... I clicked 'yes' on accept but I don't see it doing anything. Been sitting here for about 5 min. Going to unplug and re-plug and start saferoot again. I have my phone connected as a camera as suggested.
edit:: That worked in about 2 seconds
Installed recovery with safestrap, now installing stock rooted NC5 rom.
flashing last file (csc), phone rebooted and installing something and went directly in to recovery now. Just hit reboot and that worked.
humm... stuck at the red verizon logo now... been on here for a few min.
Really dumb question... I don't see any option to select slots or anything like that. I know that I can't select any different slots but it just flat out wasn't an option to pick where to install the rom.
Edit:: Well... that was weird. I was stuck at the Verizon logo so I went back in to SS Recovery and flashed HD16 and that worked (made sure to flash SU before rebooting). Everything is working now.

AWESOME!!!!!

Thanks for posting your instructions. Other than a few of my own mis-steps this worked perfectly. Is it now possible to try other ROM's? If so, any tips to avoid problems?
I am running hyper drive 16.1. It's important you backup the roms in safestrap. I have the rooted rom and hyper drive on the same sd card and just alternate between the two by restoring.

I have a verizon galaxy s4 (SCH-I545). I flashed the NC5 onto the phone after rooting it. I tried to install Philztouch onto it, but something froze up/crashed during the process. I now do not have ANY type of recovery, and the phone goes directly into download mode when trying to boot recovery. :crying:
I deleted and/or frozen anything knox from the phone... it still operates even w/o knox or a recovery in it!!
My situation is that I have used odin to try flashing twrp and other recoveries to the phone. odin says it was successful, but it still has no recovery or doesn't boot into recovery, and I want to install some custom rom's onto it. there is no safestrap and I don't want it.
So, how to put the stock or any other recovery on this phone so I can add new roms???

ok. my next addition/question is: will Surge's full wipe and/or pit file bring back the stock recovery so I can start over? this phone is cracked to now run on MetroPCS/T-mobile sytem and I don't want to go back to vzw.
So, will the pit file bring back my recovery... it does not have ANY recovery at all on the phone. here's the pit file I'm referring to: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199111
thanks.

Even if I wanted to put safestrap on this phone, there is not any type of recovery in it to use to install safestrap or any other rom or recovery on it.
I have tried odin and it says it worked but will not boot into recovery, it goes directly to download mode. the phone runs, boots and has wifi, data, etc.
I want to know before I go into this if the pit file will work and not mess up things or should I try the entire process? The phone is working but NO RECOVERY IS INSTALLED ON IT AT ALL. (needed to emphasize this fact).

If all you are looking to do is install safestrap then you can just towelroot/superSU/BusyBox/safestrap. If you mean recovery mode, as in holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone, I'm not sure how to get that back on if its missing.

Seems to me you had MDK boot loader and custom recovery prior. And that you have blindly flashed the full NC5 build updating everything including your boot loader to a nice new shiny LOCKED one. If the boot loader is NC5 you get to join the Safe Strap club.

I was on 4.3 then got the OTA update and tried to flash it back. it crashed the phone. Ii was stuck in download mode, and i flashed via Odin the NC5 full wipe on this forum then later rooted the phone. I tried to install Philz touch, but it crashed or froze up during the process... and viola!! NO RECOVERY WHATSOEVER IS ON THIS PHONE.
When I try holding down the power, home, and volume up buttons when booting up the phone, it goes straight to download mode no matter what button combination i use.
I don't care about stock or any warranty... that's over and I had this phone converted from Vzw to MetroPCS already.
I tried safestrap before and I don't like it. I need to somehow replace or install a recovery so I can put a rom into it. and I don't have to use safestrap if i can put twrp or something else into it. So, it is open for custom roms and i'm looking at SlimKat to install on this phone. Now, if somebody has a tar file I can flash with Odin... then it's all good.

If there was a way to go back from NC5, there would be a lot of happy people around here, but there isn't. Having recovery mode makes no difference because your on NC5 now. You can't flash TWRP, you can't flash CWM, Safestrap is it.

Download the stock recovery and flash it using flashify.
I did the same thing you did with a S5 because I didn't know about the boy loader issues and thought I had bricked it because it would only boy into download mode. But after turning it off for a few seconds I saw that it was able to bout into the stock rom. Luckily I made a backup of the stock recovery with flashify and flashed it back and it was fine.

So, are you saying to use Surge's full wipe and pit files and I can get back my stock recovery? or is there a link to what you are talking about? hook me up with that link.
I do not have any backups and I an get flashify no prob. but I am not sure it will work as you indicated.
how about Heimdall? will it work and do the things Odin isn't doing? I haven't used the program but have a copy of the files on my PC. I need a little guidance before I kill this phone forever.
l. tried flashify and rom installer... flashify says it found and backed up my stock recovery, but when I try to flash it back it says success and reboot. then it still goes into download mode and the little red letters say unable to do normal boot.
I can get back to normal boot and the phone runs. I tried the buttons to get into recovery mode, and it still goes to download mode. I also tried to flash twrp with rom installer and it also says successful but the same results>>> download mode only. WTF!!?
I seem to need a tar file for all of this to work and most of the roms are zip files except Surge's files. anybody have a link to tar files with the recoveries in it?
As has already been stated in this thread , if you're on the nc5 bootloader, you can't flash twrp or cwm or any other custom recovery. Even if you get the stock recovery back, it won't matter. SS is you're only option. There are a million posts on this issue. There are a number of custom roms that you can run, most are TW based though.
I have a s4 running nc5 with ss and eclipse ROM I went to flash giglies chaos ROM last night and did nothing out of the ordinary just looking for the most stock aosp look and it wouldn't boot after the fact so I booted into recovery and factory reset the phone and after that is stuck at the Samsung galaxy s4 splash screen. I've tried flashing the nc5 full wipe tar and even downgrading back tomk2 to just go from there but Odin gives !e an error after doing anything even selectung the file to flash.

The thread on Chaos warns that some theme choices could cause a bootloop and to wipe reflash if that is the case, for future reference. I would do as someone else suggested and get the newest version of odin. There is no reason why the full wipe method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 should not work. You could also try a different USB cable and a different port on your computer.
