If you were on anything other than MDK then you should not have installed TWRP. Installing a custom recovery that is not compatible with your phone is the quickest way to make a 600 dollar paperweight. What is your baseband version or what version of Android were you on?

Yes, it is resolved. I booted into download mode, and it must have unlocked, or unfroze it from recovery mode. Thanks for all your help.

Hey guys,
I thought I would come here because I have tried all other options besides going to Bestbuy. My Samsung Galaxy S4 model SCH-I545 is currently without an operating system for it seems in the Odin process to flash it back to stock it failed and now I am in quite the bind. I cannot access the stock recovery mode or boot normally. Whenever I boot my phone I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I'm kinda stuck at this point help would be much appreciated
I can still access Odin mode and the computer still recognizes my phone so that is a plus
Thanks,

Dog,
What did you do to fix it, specifically?
All, I am having an issue very similar to this, I'm on MJ7 and have the developers unlocked phone. Even thought the bootloader is unlocked the root functionality is not enabled. In trying to achieve root through flashing a file (it failed because of signiture validation error it went into a boot mode where it sounds like it is booting normally but there is no visual indicators and the LED light is a pulsing blue color (don't know what that means). Does anyone know where i can find an original factory firmware file and instructions to flash it successfully? I noticed there are several people in these forums who say they have had luck with a couple of the restore methods yet none have succeeded for me. If this is a developers edition why is the bootloader unlocked but not rooted? Thanks for any help you might be.

****s ****ed.
I have a gs4 was on me7 running hyperdrive 9.1. Hyperdrive had been bugging me to update for months, so I finally did. I had installed 9.1 on my stock rom slot so I wiped and tried to update to rls 15 of hyperdrive. I got a black screen with a pulsing blue led. so I wiped and tried to go to rls 14 same thing. I wiped and created a new rom slot installed rls 15 and got stuck in boot loop. Rls 14 did the same thing here. Then I tried to restore my stock rooted back up and just call it a day, but it didn't work everytime I tried it said failed. So then I went to Odin and tried to flash the stock firmware, being very cautious to pick the verizon one every time. I would say I have downloaded three separate firmware files with no luck even tried a one click stock restore with no luck. Please if you have any thoughts. I just need my phone to work.

Thanks for the reply but I have already solved the problem.
It wasn't that I couldn't follow directions. My **** was soft bricked.

Hey guys --
I just was messing around with my S4 trying to get custom recovery on there (now I realize I can't), but I tried to install TWRP using TWRP manager. After it installed, I tried to boot into recovery and it says "cannot do normal boot" and gets stuck in download mode.
I then have to shut the phone off, boot into download mode, and choose cancel or else I'll get stuck in a download mode loop.
I just want to get back to stock recovery now; I'm not opposed to flashing back to stock.
Also, could I flash to safestrap? Or should I go to stock and then to safestrap? Can I use safestrap to flash to one of the custom 4.4 roms?
Thanks for your help.

I've got the verizon version, 4.3 on build VRUEMJ7. I've come to realize that this build is very prohibitive; is there any easy way to downgrade and then install a custom rom from there?

Unfortunately you can't downgrade firmware at all. There's no custom recovery for MJ7 right now, although Hashcode is working on Safestrap for it. If he can get it working, you can only run builds based on MJ7, so you won't be able to get a 4.4 ROM either.

You're right joshm there should be a sticky somewhere addressing all these MJ7 questions. I don't mind answering and helping out but it just seems like it's everyday.
Maybe that'd help.

Yeah, I'm sorry to be a bother, but it seems like this usually is posted in some consolidated way and I can come across the information easily. This time, I realized the answers to my questions as I was asking them. But I still have one question:
Whatever it is that I did, when I try to boot into recovery mode, I can't. It says "can't do normal boot" and puts me in a download mode loop. Is there anyway to restore my stock recovery using odin or something like that?

Hey you're not a bother no problem..
Here is a link to a no Wipe mj7 file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507217
There's also a link in that thread to a full wipe, so up to you.
I'm not entirely sure what's going on with your phone but if you can get into download mode that'd probably be you're best bet.

I was replacing a screen for my friend and the phone (sprint sph-L600) was working just fine. Then it stated there was an update, I selected ok. Since then the phone has been looping Samsung Mega and vibrating 2 times over and over. I downloaded odin and flashed 4.4.2 and still the same issue. I can not get into samsung recovery as it does the same reboot over and over. I flash it with a different recovery, and then could get into the recovery mode,once I flash the stock rom, I'm back to square one, rebooting and no recovery. Before I did a flash recovery I did notice the KNOX was 0x1, which I'm not sure why. Any help would be great or I'm out some money for trying to be nice... thanks in advance!

Need more details, what bootloader are you currently on? Looks like if you need a stock ODIN image for your corresponding bootloader.

SS 3.72 is a recovery, but if you're on NC5, NG6 or something you can take a look at this thread and use ODIN to flash the stock image.

Checking it now, Download for the files taking a bit. I pray this works... Basically whats going on is the internal memory got wiped so it has no OS right now...
So I just installed the 0.2.3 cm 12 beta rom on and since I was giving my galaxy light to a friend I decided to do a factory reset so when I did that the phone rebooted and now its stuck at the twrp recovery splashscreen. I've already tried rebooting and re-flashing twrp but no luck. Could it be a cache problem or something? Thanks to all in advance who reply.

Im guessing you wiped device and if you go into recovery and try to reboot system it will tell you no os installed if that is the case you can plug device into computer and still use twrp as file manager thats if you had a backup stored on desktop or drag a CM zip to device .
other method of course would be to enter download mode and use odin to flash stock firmware for your device not sure if you have t399 or the N varient lastest beening OH2/OH3 you can find that in my filehost i have stock odin zips to flash.

I used the download from this guide by ShabbyPenguin: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-restore-your-galaxy-light-to-stock-mja.846767/
Hey guys...I did the same thing but my t399 must have lost battery charge because when I picked it back up, it was dead...I plugged in and it started flashing the Samsung screen slowly at me. It would not reboot. I did get download and twrp to show up and start to atleast work enough to flash and Odin again...I used Shabby's kernel source and it is still doing the same thing after flashing through Odin. Still stuck on Samsung screen slowly flashing and recovery shows no operating system. I'm about to put it back in a drawer but I feel it's so close that I had to ask for help. I flashed shabby work to root and recovery. I flashed twrp 2.7 and the cm12 beta rom. Then back to shabby guide to get it to recognize, it did..kind of..but still boot looped. Flashed 3 times... No changes. Can anyone help or is it time for a staircase? hA!
Oh yes .. I don't think the battery is bad.. I checked it with a meter and it reads voltage. It does get pretty hot while I'm working on it though and my pc shows its charged at 100% but the phone doesn't show that...it stays in like dead mode. Nit recognizing again. Anybody have suggestions? In recovery it also indicated it can not locate most of my files in read after I flash.. what am I doing wrong.
sgh-399n bootloop
It's taken me 2 months to cry for help. I'm not a complete noobie, but I'm completely exhausted. First of all, one morning I woke up and I thought that somehow my battery was dead. It wasn't. Eventually, I found it in a bootloop. This phone was working fine, running a "Tiger_Lilly" ROM the night before. I've tried everything using Odin, adb and fastboot (I'm not sure how to get the phone in fastboot mode and also, before using Odin, TWRP wouldn't mount/data.) I'm stumped. Would appreciate some help, thank you.

What was you using prior to it bootlooping and what rom was installed have you modifed anything else such as partions etc...
also list your method and link rom your trying. just wondering if its the lastest version for device. while in odin also make sure Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time is only selected and what version of odin are you using?
If your unable to flash any rom thru odin then there must be a major problem else where until we can narrow it down no one can assist you.
hi good morning, i actually dont know the prior version of the SW, i am using the available version on sammobile of the sw and i am trying odin to flash, ive already used odin 3.8 and 3.9 and the one that said it is configured to this phone in the thread.
