Don't give up so easy. ... If you tell us what kinda root method did u use it might help us to help you figure it out what is your firmware. ....MF3 use jortex method to root. ...(format your sd card to exfat and use terminal emulator)......If already on 4.3 MK2 u should use SAFEROOT METHOD from Verizon forum. .... follow my thread..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080.... it will get u back on track. ...... If u are MF3 just use MF3.tar files from first post. ....If u think u are Mk2 using that one click tool..... (Most likely u are MK2 already. ... Since u said u upgraded to 4.3 and root doesn't work anymore).... Then u should go to post#3 follow the guide. .....u should be ok..... save that money.... If u need more help PM me......

Im having similar woes. I had problems installing a ROM, softbricked, tried restore to 4.2.2, wouldnt go, tried updating (stupidly) to 4.3 got obKNOXious (had no clue then about knox) tripped knox by trying to go back to 4.2.2 and got firmware update fail. Stuck with no recovery, nor any way of repairing. I tried many versions of ODIN, both kies emergency firmware update options, and heimdall. Heimdall seems promising as i have been able to flash a custom recovery with --no-reboot and reboot using pwr+home+vlup, and i get a warning about tripping knox but it boots into custom recovery. I am able to flash (CM11 for example) but it gives me kernel trips on knox and shuts down on boot. i saw your other thread about the mf3 and mk3 but im not sure if they would work for my variant. no matter what i try i cant get this paperweight to its former glory. local repair center said they wont do anything as knox warranty = tripped. no best buy samsung centers in my area. someone please help.

OK im shocked but somehow i made this work. i used to kies to download firmware by using firmware upgrade and initialization under tools and grabbing the firmware from windows user/appdata/local/temp folder after kies finished downloading (as it starts decompressing)(faster than waiting to download from sammobile). i then pulled all files out of md5 using 7zip, and used heimdall to flash all files to their respective partitions/mountpoints. rebooted still no recovery nor boot. tried again and nothing. i then tried a custom recovery and it gave me seandroid enforcing RECOVERY and restart. so then i tried flashing custom recovery again using heimdall with --no-reboot switch and rebooted with volup+home+pwr and then i was able to enter custom recovery. so i wiped data and cache rebooted got nothing, no recovery no boot just dl mode. so i then reflashed stock rom through heimdall and rebooted, got stock recovery which would try to do something (progress bar appeared) and bootlooped. so i reflashed custom recovery again wiped cache and data and /data /media option (which took longer even though no extsdcard present, which puzzled me) and this time i tried to mount system in recovery and got an error. so i formated /system and it mounted fine. rebooted no boot no recovery. flashed custom recovery wiped /data /media, /cache, /dalvik, formated /sdcard, /system, /data, /cache, mounted /system and rebooted right into download mode and flashed stock image but this time with --no-reboot switch and once finished i manually rebooted into recovery. recovery did its thing and i finally i got a boot animation and glowing led, left it for 10 minutes and it was at samsung setup screen. unplugged my phone instantly died. no boot no recovery. repeated last step but once in samsung os i went to settings backup and reset menu and reset the phone from there. it went into recovery on its own, erased and rebooted and it seems to work fine now (fingers crossed, its only been ten minutes (relatively little compared to this 2 week ordeal.) Oddly enough kies downloaded a bell version although my phone is fido
Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!
It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

I am trying to flash NAE tar and have tried the NG2. Both result in the errors mentioned above.
I also have gone into stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.
have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I got philz custom recovery finally, and was able to flash NG2 pre-rooted, but the baseband version is old and wifi/data isn't working. I'm trying to flash the NG2 Modem.tar under the phone tab in odin, but i receive fail auth still and secure check fail: apnhlos.
I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?
Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.

Have you tried it yet? I have an Australian SM-G925I bought outright from Harvey Norman. Haven't found a way to root it yet.
I flashed the g925t on my g925i and it went smoothly and I'm now rooted. The downside is that I'm now with "KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1" haha but who cares

Hi there
I am in Saudi Arabia , I pre-ordered the device and I get that version SM-G925i.
Since that time I was upset because I was waiting for the international one , you know most developments are going to the international one.
My question is , are we going to get support and development for ours ( ROMS,MODS..etc.) ?
thanks in advance.
I was thinking about developing my own rom. I was gonna wait though. Im a bit of a perfectionist and i dont really have the time to dedicate what would be needed to fulfil the project

Phone said it was up to date when I first set it up. Here is the screen shot.
Yeah its the same as mine. What machine did you use. I used a friend's windows vista machine i was cleaning.
So, I upgraded my phone yesterday from the Samsung Core Prime to the Galaxy On5 and the phone was great. I used it through out the day and then proceeded to root the device last night using an app called Root All Devices, which is supposed to detect your phone and tell you what to download and how to root that specific phone. Well, its obvious that it didnt work or else I wouldnt be here. I cannot even get into recovery mode. The phone only allows access to the downloading screen, nothing more. I have searched all night looking for a ROM for SM-G550T1 to use with Odin, but came up with nothing at all. I did try to use the SM-G550FY (Indian version?) but that had the exact same result in Odin. When i tried to root the core prime I had similar problems, but once I located the stock ROM for it it worked perfectly. From past experience with my Core Prime I knew to turn on OEM unlocking (FRP lock is off), allowed unknown sources, turned on USB debugging, and the USB drivers are already installed, so everything is great as far as that goes. My carrier is MetroPCS also. Below is the failed result from Odin:

If someone or anyone would be kind enough to create and upload the stock ROM for the SM-G550T1 (MetroPCS), I would be extremely grateful and I know many others would be as well. Thank you guys. Please help us.
I've been trying to root my on5 sm-g550t with no luck, no methods work. I think this is because this phone is not well known. My carrier is t mobile and can barely find any info on the U.S. device. So I guess try the Indian root on the phone? I have such a hard time and I just want to find a method to root it.

Using TWRP you can install SuperSU to root. I had success with this method last night.

The link says it will "work" for metroPCS, but i dont know if it provides the user with t-mobile icons when completed or metroPCS icons.
i am in a similar situation i did not know about oem unlock, i cannot use my phone it only goes into download mode. i am in dire need of the stock firmware for the g550t1
on5 bricked now because of bad firmware
If anyone finds the T-Mobile firmware version, please let me know where it is located. The Indian version does not work. My on5 has became brick because of a firmware issue. The model number is SM-G550T. Thanks in advance.

Can you load the boot.img somewhere so that we can get it? There are ways you can convert a TWRP image to a bootable image, according to what I have read.

Tried to. Originally I couldn't get into recovery mode bc FRP was blocking me from using the TWRP recovery, but I just got a copy of stock recovery.img and flashed it so I can access recovery mode again finally. But I can't really do anything with it, no /system access, no USB access, so I can't wipe anything or do anything with recovery mode it seems.

Ok ive never messed with android before, and have spent hours n hours etc reading and trying things... and have failed ;(
Tried to play with TWRP or whatever etc... that didnt work
Ive got a S4 ATT i337 that is on 4.2.2 it has some custom FW on it and its UNLOCKED.
I was using this a while back on TMOBILE so it IS unlocked (from AT&T)...
Ive tried to boot into recovery to SET IT BACK to STOCK (1st) then (so I could put it on 7.1)
I get a ATTENTION message that appears and says: System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off and goto the nearest at&t store... (not happing haha)
I Have found the original FW for my ATT I337...
If anyone can help me in simple english of HOW to etc It would be a big xmas present to me !!!
Thanks in advance
Is the bootloader locked? If yes, you cannot run custom roms based on anything other than a stock Samsung rom.
Could you tell me how I can check to see if the bootloader is locked ? and I will
I read something somewhere about the baseband it ends in MF3
and Kernal version 3.4.0-812098
I dont know WHICH or WHAT ROM is loaded onto it but it IS version 4.2.2 android

Download terminal emulator app from play store. Open it and type "getprop ro.bootloader" without the " "
It will give you some letters and numbers. If the last 3 are anything but MDL or MDB then your bootloader is locked and you have to use safe strap and can only boot Samsung ROMs.
Stoney: Thanks for the reply... So I got the terminal an it replied I337UCUAMF3...
Can you tell me the next step ?
(Ill google and get SAFE STRAP)....
what file would I use with safestrap ? Can I still put Android 7.1 on this ?
Thanks in advance !!

If the bootloader is locked, and it looks to me like it is, you wont' be able to install Nougat or MM ROMs.
understandable ! Thanks for the info !!
So I have android 4.2.2 on it now (remember at&t i337 S4)....
is there a newer ROM like android 5 or 6 I can put onto it ? (stock ?)
I DID get safestrap and installed that

Don't think there is any custom MM but there may be a custom LP but a custom LP may require an updated bootloader and modem.
I would consult the ROM threads located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-resurrectionremix-5-7-4-t3476519
well I screwed up LOL ;(
I did a backup of my ROM with safestrap (its on the SD Card) and tried to write the file and now phone is stuck on attention yellow symbol ;(
I CAN boot into the DOWNLOADING but odin just sits there ;(
I guess phone now = garbage ;(

Im using a motorla cable but does still fully work....
I also can get the phone into DL mode (pwr down,home,power)
and it WILL take a Download....
when it boots up it does says SAMSUNG and CUSTOM and a UNLOCKED Padlock...
But I guess I cant find the correct files ;( as it always goes to the attention from att detected blah blah blah software....
Id just be happy to get this to the newest ATT Stock FW and then unlock it I believe it is called 4.4.2 and im on 4.2
or IF it exists would be nice to get to at least 5.0 to use android auto

Bootloader is definitely locked based on Odin log.
This may help to restore the phone and upgrade the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814

I'm not sure how the phone had a custom rom and a locked bootloader and now has a locked bootloader.
Which rom was on the phone running?
I believe it was somewhat a stock firmware, nothing looked "fancy" compared to a regular at&t firmware but it was DEF unlocked as I used to have a tmobile sim in it ....
but it still boots up with SAMSUNG and a unlocked padlock and then the samsung ring animation, then the AT&T logo, now it just boots u the samsung unlock "custom" and then to the yellow exclamation point about non at&t software.
