Like an IDIOT I accidentally Odin'd the international (GT-i9100) bootloader over the stock/rooted FH13. The phone works but in download mode Odin does not recognize. I've tried everything I could read others have tried (drivers, etc) but no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I out of the Odin business permanently?
Thanks.
I remember hearing of someone else doing this before as well and I think I remember the only thing they could do was send it off to have the flash reprogrammed via jtag. My suggestion is find a rom you like. Flash it and stay put. Can't risk a soft brick.

If I recall correctly times_infinity posted how to flash the bootloader using adb / terminal, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah I can't remember who it was but there is definitely a thread on it.

Doesn't the international boot loader make the USB port on our phone not work anymore? Which is why when you go to Odin mode, a computer won't recognize it? That's what I remember

Ya there was a guy who did this a day or two ago, he sent it for JTAG, no USB after the flash so JTAG is your only option afik

Sorry didn't read your op thoroughly, interesting situation.... I'll keep an eye out for info, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some adb magic you could pull to fix it since it still boots...

Even if usb wasn't working you should be able to copy the bootloader into the phone and run a terminal emulator to run the command from the phone. But there is a how to specifically for this issue somewhere.

That post might have it with the instructions. I don't know for sure what it says. But you can grab an Odin tar and extract the bootloader out of it.

I'd love to but have no idea how to. Remember I'm the idiot that installed the wrong bootloader! I was even able to restore my nandroid but that didn't change the bootloader version.
I am trying to do this from the phone or I would be more help. Search our forum for sgs2 bootloader or flashed wrong bootloader or something and see if you can find the thread on this issue.

Ok try this. If your computer can see the phone booted up there its no reason why download shouldn't see it. Uninstall your drivers. Download the drivers from Samsung again. Install them. Put your phone in download mode. Connect to pc. Let drivers get loaded completely. Unplug phone from pc. Plug phone back to pc. Open Odin. See if it gives you a com port. Report back the result.

Thanks. I've tried this but when I'm in download mode my phone is not recognized at all (by neither the computer nor Odin).
I was mistake this was about the kernel, not the boot loader. Regardless here's the link

Then you might be out of luck. I am not sure you can fix it without Odin. Here is a bootloader if you get Odin working. If you didn't try all of the steps I posted please do it again. Also switch cables even though it works for other functions.

Thanks. Yes, I found that. I've been reading about this all day and I think I can safely say that I am not going to be able to undo this without sending my phone for the Jtag. Luckily My phone still operates normally, I just won't be able to flash anything by Odin and when my phone boots it says it's a GT-i9100. I did find a good thread about this for anyone else in the same boat:

Okay, I'm not sure what you flashed with Odin. Download twrp and flash the recovery img in the past, with everything unchecked. Once you boot into recovery you have to flash the root file in the twrp root kit on that site.

OTA requires stock recovery, not custom recovery. It downloads, then but reboots expecting stock recovery.
Odin or Kies as mentioned above.

Yellow COM indication is an older (but usable) version like v1.85. You must have used v..3, where blue is the new yellow. It's ok.

Alright so my dad just got a S4, and I did the same steps I did when I rooted my S4, except this time it didn't work. I flashed CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3.2 and flashed the root file via recovery. Now when I reboot it gets to the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, and just gets stuck. In the corner it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing". I'm doing my best not to panic, but I could use some help fixing this.
I can:
Get into Recovery
Get into Download Mode
Any tips and advice would be amazing, thank you!

No clue. I just assumed it would be the same as mine. I'd make the safe assumption it's 4.4.2 as the android version, as that is what the website is telling me. As far as Baseband I have no clue. Is there anyway I can find out without booting in?
I've actually done this same exact thing about a year ago with my last s4. All I did was flash the latest firmware with odin and start over. The fact that you can get in to recovery and download leads me to believe everything should be fine, except you may lose all you saved data like messages, pics, etc..

No problem. I'm glad I could help.
Just for future reference, you dont need to hold the HOME button when booting into Download mode or Recovery. Other than that stickboy is right. If you have to, just go on YouTube and find a 4.4.2 root video tut if you feel you need it.
