Hey guys, I'm trying to flash [ROM][ODIN]SPH-L720 MF9 (MF9 Modem/Kernel/Bootloader/ROM - No Data Wipe - Rooted) by rwilco12. This is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486134 . I cannot proceed with flashing because I have run into a bit of a problem. I am trying to flash to unlock my phone but at step 8 I've run into a snag. After I press start it fails. I see the yellow com box and everything but it still fails, I am also in Download Mode. I will include a before start picture and then what happens when it fails..see attached. TY.
Are you on MK2 or NAE by chance? If you are you cannot go back to the MF9 bootloader and that would explain the Odin failure.

Ok I just did the MK2/NAE tar which is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619 . After I did that I tried to flash the One click again and it still gave me the fail...why?
Try the non-one click with Odin v3.07 and just the .tar file.

If you are on MK2 or NAE currently, you cannot use that one click program. It is only for use with the prepackaged MF9 rom that it comes with.

Where would I get the non one click, I've actually have been surfing around and looking I'm not a total nub but I just can't find it anywhere.
Is it this link? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471

Here is the NAE .tar file (The download for it is in the big blue section) you need to make an account before being able to download it tho.

Ok I have successfully flashed the rom NAE .tar you just gave to me...But what does that do for me? To domestic unlock my phone I have to revert back to MF9 touchwiz rom. And according to frostedunit I cannot flash to MF9 when I have NAE as my current baseband.
You can still flash MF9 ROM/Modem but you cant flash the MF9.tar file because it includes a non-KNOX bootloader

I know im being really nooby and annoying you with questions but the TW Rom for MF9 is located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471 but which one do I download? Is it the stock MF9 Recovery?
None of those include the modem.. just ROM. Idk to much about unlocking phones but are you sure you need the mf9 rom and modem or just the modem to unlock your phone?
Honestly I'm not positive but in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610 he says that he reverted back to the MF9 touchwiz rom so Im just trying to be a robot and follow directions...I'm really just doing this for a friend and know little about the S4 community let alone this is a dumb Sprint phone. I have a OnePlus One myself.
Here is the MF9 modem https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23321874045862587

That file is the ROM but you need a custom recovery to flash it.

Ok so far I flashed the recovery, the modem, and the rom successfully does this mean I can now flash using the one click rom?
No you cant flash because you have the new bootloader but cant you go ahead and do the unlocking now?

Hey Ive been running infamousness alpha s4 rom. Tried to flash 9.0 but go stuck in a boot loop. So I looked into it people said it was twsp recovery. So I downloaded philz recovery and flashed it. I forgot to flash Loki doki and I put my phone into recovery mood and now the exclamation mark keeps popping up saying system not authorized by AT&T. Idk what to do can anyone help??
Ok managed to restart the phone by holding all volume down and home and off. But now I don't know what to do about the recovery. If I go into recovery it will probably happen again. Is there a way to go into the system files and delete

Oif you can't get into recovery then you going to have to odin back to stock. Since you have a recovery I assume you're on the mdl firmware?

I've including a link to a guide. It is not for the i337 so don't use any files referenced in it. But it's a good guide. You're going to want to get the firmware from sammobile.com. You have to register but it's free. Download the firmware for your specific device. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file. Use that in Odin, PDA.

Someone, for the love of god, help me.
I rooted my gs4 on att (i337) (Ucuamf3) using the sd card/terminal emulator exploit. It worked just fine, and have full root access. I then proceeded to install safestrap to get some custom roms going. Safestrap installed and I booted to recovery just fine. Then I flashed a few safestrap-compatible roms, none of which worked. they all booted to a consistent black screen. Thrn, I looked for a more up-to-date safestrap version, which I did. So I installed it, and now I cant boot into safestrap at all. Like literally, it just skips over it. And it says its installed...please, please help.
The newer ss is for mk2 firmware. You need to flash the mf3 tar files in odin and start over
Could you post a download link and a tut for flashing via odin? Im relatively new to this
And couldnt I just flash the custom through odin? Or does that not work with this firmware version (or whatever)

Boy that could be bad...
BUT if you get to Download mode you may be able to grab the full MK2 Odin-able .tar you should be Okay.
Please note that the sph-L720 is NOT the L720T. If you have that version and you flash this .tar you'll be hosed.

Make sure to Run Odin 'as administrator'.
From the zip just extract the .tar.md5 and place that into the PDA slot. Odin 3.09 seems to be working the best for most on this device.

Yup just downloaded that odin actually, but i have to wait about an hour for that mk2 file to download. And thanks i know I've actually done this before but on mf9 so it was a little easier. Will this bring me back to stock?

You'll be stock everything - baseband(modem), kernel, recovery and ROM.
You will have the knox bootloader, so when you flash a custom recovery you'll 'trip' that. But not really a big deal. You can remove the 'Knox software(s) if you want - there are some removal scripts here in the forums. Only thing is you can't Odin back before MJA/MK2.
To root you can use CF-Autoroot or Saferoot, then use Goomanager or find a recovery zip here and install custom recovery of your choice.

Ok when i try to open the mk2 file it keeps saying the md5 hash is invalid. Ive tried 3 different odins to open it and i get the same result..
You don't open the .tar.md5 file.
You place this file - L720VPUEMK2_L720SPTEMK2_L720VPUEMK2_HOME.tar.md5 in the PDA slot.

have you tried heimdall? its unbricked me a few times, and its way easier to use too. i think you can use ob both windows and mac, i used on mac. if you are familiar with how to use a command line tool or terminal, this is the way to go. just my humble opinion.
so i bought a used att already rooted and had recovery.
dont know what kind of recovery and i flashed TWRP through goomanager.
installed went great rebooted, now its stuck on start screen with RECOVERY BOOTING.
any help?
i can still go into download mode
should i just start new and reflash with odin? can someone point me to the right direction please.

Need more info to be able to help you, like what firmware are you on? mf3 or mk2? Once you figure that out the just Odin back to stock with the tar files posted here on XDA. Boot loaders are locked on both mf3 & mk2 so no CWM, no TWRP. Safestrap is the only recovery that works. I suggest Odin back to stock & start fresh.
i really dont know what firmware i am on...
which files should i flash??

Lol depends what firmware your on.
If you were on mf3 or mk2 with locked boot loader than that's why your stuck.
download amdl and mk2.. Bc the bootloader isn't all locked up its worth a try. If amdl fails in Odin then try mk2 and you should be good. But your boot loader will be locked tighter than a nun from a convent.
You really should have read around or asked questions before trying anything. Could have been avoided

Okay that is the leaked version of Kit Kat 4.4.2. So you need to Odin back to stock with the above tar files for mk2. You can then use this guide & either root, install Safestrap recovery & then a custom rom of your choice listed in the guide or you can take the official OTA 4.4.2 Kit Kat update. Good luck.

Do NOT flash NB1. KEEP MDL. NB1 WILL LOCK YOU FROM SLIMKAT AND ANYTHING.
Make sure you wiped data in recovery before you tried booting. The modem would mess it up but it should have been flashed over with the full tar. Just try wiping in the stock recovery first.
