Hi, could someone help with my phone.
Well my problem is that i cant load any firmware now after i was trying to install XWJM7 that was posted here from someone. Just followed hes guide thoroughly but still cant load any formware now. Mine is asian galaxy s i9000, so it should be running smoothly rite?
Thanks!
you are using odin?
try reading up the stickies on how to flash your firmware.
Yeah!
And nevermind, i figure it out my self anyway. Didn't know that the connection of where to put the usb data cable matters! LOL! I just transfer it in port 7, so that i get "com7" or sumthing then its all good.

Hi i have a t-mobile wing and i tried to update my rom version. im currently running 4.17.405.2. i used the update from the t-mobile site but it wouldnt work and said to check my connections. i also tried on my laptop and it wouldnt update it from there. i then tried to flash a ROM using flash center and i made sure to install the enablerapi files and clicked the herald-uspl, but it still wouldnt work. it said something about not detecting the rapi. i installed the rapi to both device and storage card but still no go. please can anyone help me i would really appreciate this.
title says it all. running stock rooted. turns out, it has gone out of date. i am not running an alternate rom bcuz i need to return my evo in a few days (little bro cracked the screen). i just tried to unroot today, and got the main version older fail. i am on a mac, so any help would be much appreciated.

pretty noobish just read alot recently with my prob
I know about these exe files. They are the sprint ruu files, and are common knowledge. The problem is, I don't have a pc. It would be great if I got a Mac fix.

Dont know if this is what you wanted but i've unrooted fine using this file just put in sd card and enter bootloader. I got it from the how to unroot thread in the dev forum the name of the guy i got it from escapes my mind at the moment.

Do you know ...did it wipe recovery and all ffrom what ive heard they havent been looking real close but i dont believe in luck but i dont seem to get away with much these days this phone was from fist day releaseits beat up, but i did the 60 step toast method about 20 trimes getting it rooted too work but i hate idea of parting with it thamks for info though much appreciation
I rooted my GS4 yesterday and had no issues at all until i tried to flash a MOD to obtain wireless hotspot, but what i didnt notice was the MOD was for a Sprint version GS4. I know know if thats exactly what made my phone brick but im pretty positive because it was during the reboot that the phone got stuck on the TMO screen and apparently remaining soft-bricked. I spent the rest of the night and all of today reading and researching how to fix it myself before coming here to ask for help, so please bare with me.
I have already attempted to flash the official stock firmware using Odin, but it displays an error everytime saying it failed and something about AUTH. Sorry if im sounding vague, i am on a back up phone to use the internet and forgot to right down the exact message.. Anywho, i tried wiping everything and redoing the process and i even tried to flash the appropiate PIT file that i found but it still displays an error and says failed because of some AUTH or SEC problem.
Ive been at this diligently for almost 12 hours. My brain is filled with all these suggestions and methods that i have tried to use to restore my phone back to factory, but none of them have worked. I can still get into recovery and all that, so im assuming that there is still good chance i could fix the problem?
Also i am starting to get myself more and more confused about whether the firmware i downloaded is the right one i need for my phone, it seemed so at first but now i see theres TONS of region codes that can determine the firmware version?
Sorry if im all over the place, but i just dont know which step to take next..
I appreciate any help that is given, and im even willing to pay (some) bucks or maybe even (btc) for someone to walk me through what i need to do or what im doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance
Have you followed every single thing in the return to stock thread? Including updating your drivers, using the USB cable that came with your phone, running Odin as admin, etc?

No i havent tried that threads strategy, although i have done the same exact steps but only difference i see is that the firmware file name is:
M919UVUAMDL
While the one i was trying to use earlier was:
I9505XXUAMDM
This is where im getting very confused because i cant find a cut and dry way of knowing which firmware is the correct one..

You do have the T-Mobile SGS4, correct? Any files with I9505 in the name are for the international version, which is what you flashed (not the right file). All of ours will mention SGH-M919, M919, or jfltetmo in the file name. Pull the one in the thread I linked above and push that.
Crossing your fingers while doing so couldn't hurt...
Edit: I'd recommend using the "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR" in that thread as well, not the "stock tar (original)", since the MDL is official.

Thanks so much, i feel stupid for not realizing the difference between the two haha. Im d/l the firmware from the thread you referenced as we speak so i definitely will keep my fingers crossed and let you know how it turns out!
Thanks again. Im not sure how to give a thanks on here or credit for you help but your help is definitely appreciated.
error post
If you can get into download mode i would suggest flashing stock with that then rerooting that way the program downloads all of the nessacary stuff on its own.

I need Help. I have tried all day to figure this out. I am about to chuck both stupid ass computers and my phone out the window. I need to return to stock and locked to return my phone to Verizon as I received a CLNR device.
I started with the Return to Stock thread. Followed the instructions (downloaded the most recent version i could find since the link in the op isnt working) . Re locking the bootloader went fine. But when I go to flash the RUU i get an error everytime. It gives the loaded target size then I get error cannot load *filename* : no error . No matter what i do. I have tried every version of RUU I can find, flashable , exe whatever. I cannot get anything to load. If any one can be of any help I would appreciate it . I cannot figure out what the hell im doing wrong. Or if you have an easier to follow guide with current links. IDK Im lost at this point...
