Things I tried to unbrick with
1.flashing a pit file in odin
Not tried
1. BestBuy, gonna trip out there after my college classes.
2. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unbrick-Ser...t-/271267344770?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 would like to do this only as a last resort as i am broke right now.
I'm posting on XDA for some help/suggestions on what i should do. (please note I have no custom recovery)
Also I saw someone say they put their phone on T-Mobile and took a T-Mobile OTA to replace the MF3 and then bootloader unlocked the T-Mobile update.
Edit: I do have the SGH-1337 sim unlocked currently running on airvoice going to make the switch to T-Mobile sometime this week.
Don't mess with the pit file. Best case, it didn't do anything, worst case I'd it messes up your phone worse that it is. You never mentioned what state your phone is in. Did it boot? Boot into download or what.
I think your best bet is best buy. They seem to be able to flash the mf3 firmware. It's basically the same thing jtag would do and it's free.

Wasn't thinking straight, it bootloops at the AT&T logo so I can hit download and stock recovery. tried factory reset from recovery, no dice. I'll be hitting up best buy asap. and do you anything about OTA'ing to T-Mobile and possibly unlocking that build?

You can use the Samsung kies program to do an emergency recovery. It should work. I'd try that before bestbuy.

thanks for the suggestion, just put my phone in download I'm guessing?
Samsung sure does think they're protecting me by locking my bootloader. locked bootloader just creating problems ;-;
Kies just sorta sits here...

Except kies doesn't have mf3...and more often than not makes the phone worse than before as it does a partial flash of (older) MDL until it gets stopped due to bootloader

You'd probably be better off going to a Best Buy that has a "Samsung Experience" booth. They can flash it back to stock MF3. The normal BB service counter will have no clue what your talking about.

Just cam back from my local Breast Boy. Phone got returned to perfect stock. The guy knew what he was doing and tried a few different things to get my phone on MDL/MDK like i asked and hes said the program wouldn't allow it. (I watched over his shoulder, no hope sadly :/)

SO i was a fooled and i tried to flash my MF3 S4 with TRWP. Make a long story short my phone was soft bricked. I was unable to go into recovery mode, only Odin mode. So after reading a bunch of posts and thinking that my phone was bricked until samsung released official MF3 recovery image , i gave up. My friend at best buy called me and said that they now have "Samsung Experience Centers and they can Flash your phone to factory stock. I called Samsung and verified. i immediately brought the phone over and after explaining that "Kies" Ruined my phone they were able to flash my phone now it is working. I will go into more detail soon. But those who were in my situation, rest assured there is a solution now.

So how is it?
Yes it was the MF3 the latest att over the air update. I used Loki to root and that worked. Then I used "Goo manager to install clock work/TWRP and that's when I got stuck in Odin mode. I was no longer able to go into recovery mode.

Also if they guy looks like he doesn't know what he is doing have him call Samsung technical support. The best buy rep that did mine initially said he couldn't do, then he called Samsung technical support and they guided him through the process and it finally flashed.

Dude, don't try to flash a custom recovery. You're only going to be able to go back to best buy so many times before they catch on.

We need to find out what method Best Buys is using to flash MF3. It is possible that Samsung has made available (to Best Buy Samsung locations) full MF3 firmware, but what are they using to flash it with...ODIN?

It would be great if you could check with your friend at Best Buy and see if he has any details about how the MF3 firmware is being flashed.
I will ask my friend if he can get more details and possible pictures. From what I know special "Tools" where provided by by Samsung. Initially the Best Buy rep that flashed my phone did not know what to do he then called Samsung technical support and they were able to remote control his PC and finish the flash. I wasn't able to see the program he was using as I was behind the PC screen and could not get around.

Its called "Samsung Smart" its what the att store uses I got the guy to tell me what it was. He said that samsung reps came in and installed the software on all of there computers. I hope we can get someone who works there to throw the software on a usb stick. It needs to be leaked. I am soooooo pissed off right now because I just got a new one from the device support center yesterday and it came with mdl on it. Then the damn thing updated itself within 24hrs. It downloaded it and installed it without my consent. Im going to brick it on purpose and take it back to the att device support center and they will probably try and reflash it but it wont work cause all they have is the samsung smart exe program with the mdl fimware and im sure its nkt going to downgrade it so they will end up giving me a new phone again and hopefully it will have mdl on it first thing in the morning.
Struck out at my nearest Best Buy this evening. The guy at the Samsung counter didn't seem to know much about them, he did plug it in but never launched any applications to try and reflash it all he was using was a laptop and stock USB cable. There are several other stores in my area (Houston TX) I'll run out tomorrow and try my luck again. I'll report back on any applications they use and will pick their brains for info if I'm successful getting it restored to stock. To be continued.......

Try calling a few Best Buys before hand and ask if they are capable of flashing your Samsung S4. When i called i said that Samsung Customer Care informed me to go to a Best Buy with a Samsung Experience Shop and they would be able to Flash my phone back to stock. Good luck.

Are you on MF3 firmware. And have you read the several threads available about the problems with Kies and ODIN with MF3 and any sollutions there might be?
The "pinned" threads in the general and Q&A sections are a good place to start. Also make sure to read any threads about MF3. Good luck.
If you are not on MF3 firmware, I still suggest you read.

Did you buy the phone in this condition? Because I can't imagine how any thought process would allow someone to do ANYTHING to a phone if they didn't at least (and I mean at the very least) know what firmware the phone was running. And actually, much more than that needs to be learned before the phone is ever touched.
So you bought it from someone like that?

Try manually putting the phone into ODIN (download) mode and then manually cancel out of it (volume down button...I think). and see if it boots up. There is also a thread in the general section about "a fix for KIES", you might want to check it out. Also, apparently Best Buys stores can reflash MF3 phones if you ask them nicely. All of this might help if you were on MF3.
If you were not on MF3, try to ODIN back to stock. Only do this with MDB or MDL firmware.
Good luck.

Mine working
Just to let everyone know I flashed to stock firmware MDL and when I rebooted it had a software update which I did without thinking which MF3. I then rooted with know problems and at this point I used goo manger and attempted to install CWM bad idea. Should have read but didn't but I read for a week trying to figure out and try everything I could think of no deal. I saw that people talked about going to best buy so I went to one close to me and system kept showing device not found the person told me he couldn't do anything so I called AT&T who wanted me to travel clear across the city to have it flashed or replaced. Decided that was to much so I went to another best buy and his system said not supported. He called Samsung and they wanted me to send it in or take to there Samsung repair center which was only couple miles away which I did. They had no problem flashing it funny thing they used Odin which they have the files for. I tried to get the guy to give me a copy of the software but he said he couldn't oh well I tried but it does prove that there is Odin files for it just have to wait. I know this is long post just thought that maybe it will help others.
Hey everyone... so I have a problem and im not sure if anything will work... so I tried the free unlock method but it didnt work...but then my phone updated to the mf3 baseband... and when I got an unlock code it was denied.. I looked it up and its because I tried the free method... anyone know how I can get back onto mf3... would kies emergency recovery fix anything... quick replies would be appreciated since i just flew to england and need my phone
Afaik, if you try the free unlock too many times the phone permanently locks the ability to unlock it. There is no way to get that ability back.
I only tried the free unlock mode once, but now I can't get it to unlock with the unlock code I have. And I know there is a way if you have the old firmware to fix the problem, but I was wondering if Kies emergency restore would revert it back to the old firmware, or using Odin and a sammobile firmware would fix my issues

Don't listen to other forums. Stick to the real deal Xda att s4 section. There is no way to Odin, kies restore, etc to an older firmware if you took the official MF3 update. As to unlock, you can try fastgsm. They charge $15 via remote PC. Many folks used it since using the free unlock method toasted their unlocked via code method.

Odin Restore with AT&T SM-G930A G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary files NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooooooo tried everything to restore my S7 AT&T SM-G930A with the "Supposed" G930AATT1APB5_User_Binary files that are floating around the threads. I'll answer the question "Why are you doing that?" first.
well because i am a flashaholic that gives ZERO **cks and is pissed off that this bootloader is locked and has OCD about flashing S*it. soooooo...... whatever. And yes.... I KNOW I shouldn't have bought a branded phone. But I did soooooooo..... Rant over, anyway, Figured I could try to flash the restore shizz just in case i ever needed it for some drastic reason or Just because i just wanted to flash ****. but to no avail Odin is giving this error on the phone itself while in Odin Mode, **Odin protocol version error!** tried it in Odin Mode with oem unlock switched on and tried it switched off. Nope same error. tried in the bootloader screen also with same settings, Nope same error. Sooooooooo not sure what is going on except maybe it has to be something with the lockdown of the phone. Just thought i would drop this info down here and see what happens.
Peace OUT!

Rant over, anyway, Figured I could try to flash the restore shizz just in case i ever needed it for some drastic reason or Just because i just wanted to flash ****. but to no avail Odin is giving this error on the phone itself while in Odin Mode, **Odin protocol version error!** tried it in Odin Mode with oem unlock switched on and tried it switched off. Nope same error. tried in the bootloader screen also with same settings, Nope same error. Sooooooooo not sure what is going on except maybe it has to be something with the lockdown of the phone. Just thought i would drop this info down here and see what happens.
Peace OUT!

Sorry for the delay, no I don't. Did you root already? Hope you did. I got rid of a bunch of crapware and can tell the difference in speed and battery life!!
Had to take my phone into Bestbuy just had them factory reset and now I have the June update.

Why are you trying to go back to pb5 when there are two newer FWs out? APF2 and APG1. I think I remember that people weren't able to restore to pb5 after updating to apf2. Could definitely be wrong about that tho.
Anyways, pg1 has wifi calling and advanced messaging.

I found out the fix by myself. I don't understand why nobody thought of it but here it is. All I did was reboot into recovery and factory reset the phone and my phone booted up like normal without root.

Now I'm trying to reboot it and I flashed the boot tar for it that I flashed in the first place to achieve root but everytime I download superuser it keeps force closing it...what am I doing wrong now lol. Like I must be the most unluckilest guy on the planet. This thing is a nightmare. Am I missing something after refreshing the rooted g935x boot .tar?
