HELP Unbrick Galaxy S4 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

​I tried to install cm on to my rwc sgh-1337m but it failed halfway through the download so i then tried to reflash and older 4.2.2 rom that i know worked on this device before but this time I kept getting fail(auth) in odin (3.07 & 3.09). I tried a different rwc sgh-i337m rom it didn't fail but it got stuck on the samsung splash screen the last time I tried to reflash I checked nand erase all (I read a couple sources that said it might help) but that did nothing. Before I tried to put cm on I had root with kt sgs4 kernel and stock touchwiz. Any suggestions there's still a year contract with rogers on this phone so I obviously don't want to have a bricked phone.
if this helps the roms I tried to flash were:
I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_I337MVLUAMDJ
I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_I337MVLUEMK6
I also still have the kernel is not seandroid enforcing and warranty bit kernel in the top left when booting.

Cannot Flash or Recover Galaxy S4 I9500 due to system.img failure

Dears,
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 with below details:

But I am located in Iraq and the phone had warranty, but now not
the S4 hanged, and when we took out the battery and put it back, it hanged again, then it went to boot loop.

I called verizon and told them it failed during an OTA update. They are shipping me out a new phone under warranty.

If you have a Verizon Note 2 which is SCH-i605 then I can tell you why Odin isn't working. You flashed a bootloader for the GT-N7100.
These are what I've tried flashing:

N7100XXUFNE1_N7100BTUFNE1_N7100XXUFND3_HOME.tar.md5

You see all those files that say N7100. That is for a different phone. Not the i605. That is why your phone isn't working. There are a couple of ways to fix the problem in the general section of this forum for the Verizon note 2. I just don't have the time to find them. Also there is mobiltechvideos which I believe can fix this problem for a fee.

Ah, my phone starts up and said n7100 so that's where the confusion lay. I already have my replacement phone and all is well.
I was having serious restarting randomly problems with the old phone and it needed to be RMA'd anyway so no biggy. Thanks for all your help.

Can't Flash Stock Rom With Odin

So I was gifted a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. I decided to factory reset it and wipe all data/cache. That was successful and I booted into the phone. I got stuck on the Samsung reactivation lock page. I had trouble logging, and there was an SSL error (caused by the unset date/time). I decided just to flash the stock rom, but this only caused more trouble.
I went into download mode, connected the USB, started Odin (tested with version 3.04, 3.09, 3.10, and 3.12), and tested 3 roms from these two pages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289325

I've used different USB cables, USB ports, versions of Odin, roms, I tried using a pit file, disabling my antivirus, but nothing is working. If I try to boot the phone normally or go to the volume up menu it redirects me to this page: http://androidcentral.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Firmware-upgrade-error.png
Verizon and Kies (they were both off during the Odin flash attempts) are unable to see the phone in download mode and the error page above.
Some additional information. In the top left of the device it displays this:

I had a friend give me his cracked S4 and I just swapped out the parts. Everything is working fine now, can a mod close this?

Odin failed to flash stock ROM to Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010 old version)

I had a n8010 with a custom ROM flashed into it and it was operating Android 4.1.2. In order to be able to receive the latest updates and revert to the original ROM (which I did not back up at the time) I tried flashing with Odin 3.12 after booting the tablet into download mode. However, the process failed and the Odin log is as follows:

I tried a second pass and it also failed in the options tab only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" were clicked and AP type was ticked for the ROM ending with "tar.md5". I think my tablet is in the state what is called soft brick, how can I recover it and install the default stock ROM?
The device also has an SD card and when I unplug it Odin is stuck at "SetupConnection" step; I think this is an important observation. The Odin mode screen has the following information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT MODE: GT-N8010
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official ---Yet it still refuses to update so I attempted all of this.
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
AP SWREV: A2
EDIT: After removing and inserting the SD card Odin was able to perform an installation of the stock OS. I hope it is a clean install and still have no idea why these problems occurred.
Thanks in advance
