Ive been searching posts and trying to follow all directions without worrying anybody as I know you all are busy. However I have finally gotten myself into a bootloop. I have a sprint Sm-n900p I rooted with chainfire method successfully. I felt confident after that and decided to try to setup to use with straight talk wireless (Which is the ultimate goal) I flashed the Modem.tar.md5 file to the phone via odin based on the thread (Domestic Sim Unlock For T-Mobile/AT&T or MVNO's Solved (N900P) and now it continually reboots.

Have you tried booting into recovery and doing a wipe then rebooting some times that and a power pull will get the job down if not then the only other way is to flash the full firmware for the phone again via odin

I rooted my verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 when I first got it with no problem.
A week ago I was misled by Verizon's sucky PC software to "repair" my phone. I inadvertently wiped the whole thing and it was returned to factory preset status, so the root was gone.
Now I'm trying to re-root the phone, but with no luck. I boot my phone into download mode fine. But everytime I try to get Odin to flash the "SCH-I545_MD2_423399_Kernel.tar.md5" rom, it fails at the first step! It just says "Fail", and that's the end of it.
I'm clueless about what to do. I've tried different USB cables, restarted both devices multiple times. I even tried unpacking the tar file before opening Odin.
Can anyone advise? I'm out of ideas.

Unfortunately, it seems as if you took the OTA Update, at this time I don't know if we have root abilities, or Loki/unlocked bootloader hack...
Many people have done this, you're not alone. Have patience, the great team of dev that are in this community are working on it.
Best of kick

Today I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605 to install a custom rom. After I got root access on my device I got overly excited to install my rom, I first downloaded rom manager to install CWM Recovery, I then go to reboot and I get this message,
"System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
Instantly I realized I forgot to unlock the bootloader.
Can anyone help me to get my phone back into working order? I've already tried going through odin and installing the stock rom. I think it didn't work because it wasn't the rom that made this message come up but instead it was clockwork mod recovery. I've been looking around online for about 4 hours now with no success. Any help is appreciated
Also I'm sorry if this post is out of place.

? is are you on the latest MJ9 firmware? If you accepted the OTA and you are on MJ9 there is no unlocking methods as of yet.. If you were on 4.1.2 you need to boot into Download Mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) and then flash RAMC3 with the pit file (RAMC3 goes in PDA slot.. Pit goes in pit slot) After this goes through then you need to re root and unlock your phone.. Post here if you have any issues..:good:

Thanks for your reply, originally I was on 4.3, I somehow managed to downgrade to 4.1.2, I should've stopped there because after that I immediately tried to unlock the boot loader and ended up bricking it 5 minutes after resolving the issue in this post. after much trouble and time I was able to get it working again by flashing stock MJ9 again. Still not rooted and unlocked but it's working.
You can root but can't unlock the bootloader. Downgrading to 4.1.2 doesn't replace the bootloader.

Thanks for this message I'll keep my eyes open for whenever the bootloader can be unlocked. :good:
I connect my Galaxy Mega (i9205) to kies and it showed that my phone have new update. Bear in mind that my phone is rooted previously (CWM). Kies updated my phone to I9205XXUCNA3. I update my phone with no problem (it took longer time only) but unfortunately KNOX ruined everything. It keeps on saying that SuperUser is trying to access the system. Furthermore, my Wifi is not working at all. I tried to click on the toggle button but no to avail.
So after searching, I found out how to disable KNOX - By flashing using vcoreroot-v2. Done flashing with this file, and now I can't see my interna; SDCard. I'm doomed and now I don't know what to do to turn back to how it was before.
Anybody that can help me, really appreciate it.

I see that so far you have found a way to disable knox AND cripple your Mega...
IMHO the best way to fix this situation is:
1. Download once more your newest firmware I9205XXUCNA3 (e.g. from Sammobile) and flash it by Odin to resolve starting position. Or try to restore your firmware through Kies.
2. Then BEFORE YOU DO SOMETHING read forums to find information how safely root firmware with KNOX. You have to be known so probably your warranty is already void and if not so it will be on the first attempt to root your unit. You are warned... There are some threads about rooting KNOX-ed firmware and even how to come back (partially) to previous build.
BEWARE! Do not attempt to flash older firmware lest you brick your Mega. New bootloader prevent from downgrading and if you try you will have endless bootloop. Upgradindg to newest firmware is one way trip.
OK I've followed your advise:
1. Re-download I9205XXUCNA3 from Sammobile and flash using odin.
2. Re-apply vcoreroot-v2
and after reboot.... WALLA!! My phone is back to normal again! And same goes to my internal SDCard, back as normal.
I have a problem with messaging where it keeps on crashing at first. But then I boot into recovery, clear cache and apply factory reset.
Now, all back to normal.
Anyhow, thank you so much for the tips. Now I can ease out a bit

I am glad you are successful. Sometimes you have to repeat two times, but no more: one for download errors, two for your errors. But if then you are not successful... then you have to look for another solution...
Can I know what rom u are using before updating to stock rom using kies?
Sent from my GT-I9205 using XDA Free mobile app
So I rooted/Bump'd my phone awhile back using StumpRoot and flashed this BARREN Odex & Deodexed and I also put in TeamWin's Recovery Project v2.8.0.0. I disabled OTA updates on my device.
Well, I recently did get an OTA for a newer version of my Android OS which I figured would be okay since I was basically using a flashed but stock ROM that was Android anyways. I let it download the update and after it restarted, it only loads up the TeamWin loader. I can't reboot to recovery or anything.
I used TeamWin to wipe everything except the system partition and my phone still isn't loading up to the ROM. I tried using this tutorial on using the LG FlashTool to get it back up and running and it keeps failing on step #20. I don't know what else I can do.
I am not very experienced with the whole bootloader/ROM/rooting/whatever scene so I am doing everything I can and nothing is still booting the OS. I figured the OTA removed the root on the device and is why the ROM can't load but I'm not sure.
I'd really like some help if anyone can provide it.
EDIT: Fixed it. nevermind. Used this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/fix-recovery-loop-twrp-computer-t2873386
Lesson learned huh, ota when rooted, especially these tricky devices is not your friend. Someone eventually will make the updated rom rooted

except now I just realized I have no cell service, just wifi any thoughts?
In the phone dial this sequence ##72786#
This should work.
Have a great day! from my LG G3
I had the same problem, you have to factory default your phone again and when wifi pops up uncheck it and itll ask to search for service or register device.
insert something witty here...

And it wouldn't hurt to update your profile and PRL, too.
i hope this works for you. i had to send my back because i was told the radio was dead. the sprint tech typed in things on the keypad to try and connect to the network and no luck. mine was stock for the moment, but rooted. it did have an OTA download, no intentions to install it, but my daughter had other plans......thankfully it was replaced. just got it today and it it stump'd, twrp'd and OTA's blocked.
Hey,
Sorry total noob at messing with my phone, buuuuuut I tried to (foolishly) downgrade my Verizon sch-i545 from OC1 because I hate it. I tried to flash back to MDK using ODIN 3.4, 3.7, AND 3.9 all of which failed. From what I can find it seems like flashing to anything from a Verizon sch-i545 running OC1 is destined to fail due to something contained in the update. Is this correct? Since the failed flash, I can't get my phone to turn back on normally, it just gives me the "Software Update Failed, use verizon software repair assistant..." which from what I can find is downloaded from the phone when you plug it in? But it didn't seem to do so for mine when I initially plugged it in to back up files. I can't find an online source to download the verizon software from. So basically I'm asking for help on just getting my phone functioning again? It doesn't seem like I've bricked it, but I don't know what to do after a failed flash? Can I download the 5.0.1 firmware and flash it using odin and it will actually work because it's 5.0.1? I'm tired of waiting 2 hrs to download a firmware to have it immediately fail haha. Or is there another much simpler way to get it out of this mode and back to just running normal ****ty lollipop? I can get the phone back into download mode, but that's it. Thanks for any help. Sorry if anything is silly or redundant, tried searching for hours without finding much.
Thanks.

Ok I have already gone down this road myself.
First can you get your phone into download mode ? If so re-flash the original firmware. This file is on the XDA site somewhere ,I remember seeing it. I loaded mine at a very slow download took hours , did it over night . I have had to redo my phone several times trying with Odin after countless lockups.
The OC1 can not be changed it has a locked boot-loader that can not be unlocked @ this time. So no downgrade changes of ant kind. You CAN NOT GO BACK I highly suggest you read more on this site to help you better.
There is only a handful of ROMs you can install & they have to be OC1 compatable

Thanks! That worked like a charm. If anyone else sees this and is in a similar situation, flashing the OC1 back definitely work the first time. I had to try and try again, different USB ports, pull the battery out, wait, and try again. Eventually with persistence it worked.
