I have T-Mobiles Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919). I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 yesterday, rooted, and was removing bloatware when something I deleted screwed up my gallery so I decided to re-do everything (go back to stock) and start all over. Of course that was a fail and now my screen says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." (didn't work)(cannot get into download mode or recovery) tried restoring through Odin (did this with an Galaxy s2 before and it fixed the problem) But did not work either!!! At the top of the screen it says:
Odin mode
Product name: sgh-m919
Current Binary: custom
System Status: custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warrany Void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
START (224, 1440)
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , Binary : 1
I had originally thought that Knox was just a app, but know better now. I am downloading the 4.3 firmware (6 more hours to download) to flash through Odin, but expect the same results. Any ideas on how to fix this issue or do I own a new paper-weight??? I have read through many forums and cannot find a solution.....
Odin flash the 4.3 stock tar and root with Saferoot Verizon method or CF-Autoroot (recommended). If you want autobloatware cleaner, search for TrulyClean. Good luck

I downloaded the 4.3 stock tar and tried to flash, but didn't work. I think there was something wrong with the file so I am going to try to download it from another source and try again.... wish me luck!!! I like to use CF-Autoroot.... I will look for truly clean and try it, because the one I've been using doesn't work on 4.3

Yeah, with large downloads like that sometimes they mess up. You can run a MD5 hash/checksum to make sure the file you downloaded didnt mess up. But download it again from somewhere and give it a shot. No reason why you won't be able to Odin

Once you are back to stock 4.3 and not rooted all you need to do to root
the phone is to download and Odin flash cf-autoroot.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot in case you want to root your phone:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Unzip cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your computer's desktop, use
Odin which is also included in the zipfile to flash cf-autoroot in pda slot.
Once you are rooted you will need to flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp.
Good luck!

If he is flashing ICS via the Odin tar he should NOT need to wipe anything. The tar could be bad (maybe a bad download) or something. The screen he saw though is normal on first reboot as I've seen it also but it reboots within a minute (or less)

The 1 clicks are not bad to flash. I do have a EG30 tar but it's to big to put anywhere without breaking it down into smaller parts. But using the 1 click flash able tars should do the trick regardless.
i flashed a el29 tar and everything worked in odin but when i boot up after the boot screen i goes to an android guy with a box. any ideas guys? I really dont want to go to sprint and have them give me the run around . I need some help!

I've seen the Android guy with the box but even after a tar install it loads that for a minute or less like I said above does a few more things then reboots. When you flashed the ICS tar did you have ANYTHING but auto reboot selected at all?

after unplugging the phone from usb with that screen this is what reads on that screen.
E:failed to mount /data (unknown error 0)
update logfile does not exist
then it did a data wipe and something else.
it rebooted and after the boot screen it went kernel panic upload mode.
any ideas now?

ok that's odd. I've honestly never seen it do that with mine but I have seen the Android guy a few times (mostly with the ICS builds) Maybe someone with a bit more experience could chime in on the matter and maybe have a few ideas as to what you could do. Someone like sfhub or one of the devs maybe.
Edit
If I had to take a guess however it almost sounds like something is corrupt however. Maybe I'm wrong like I said just taking a guess on it.

go for it im willing to try anything and id appreciate it alot if it saves me the hassle of dealing with the idiots at sprint. If it doesnt work ill just take it to them say it was a bad ota update and order a new one. I went in today and I told the guy I rooted it just because Im an idiot, He said it was good because it still had the samsung official binary, not saying anything about my custom binary counter which is somewhere above 30

The files are being uploaded now. Once all 3 are done I'll pm you the mediafire links to download them. The rar has a recovery record so if something happens (by chance) you should be able to recovery it (incase of a bad download)
Here is the thing this is a STOCK EG30 no root nothing. I use sfhubs auto root package to regain root on the device when I use this (which is often lol) I hope this does work however.
I'll pm you in a few once it's all done uploading.
edit.
Pit goes in the PIT option for Odin. Put the TAR in PDA.
I wouldn't mind having those files too if you could pm me.If not it's all good.

I've got a note 2 at&t on official 4.4.2 that I want to unlock to tmobile but my issue is rooting it.
I've read towel doesn't work so I went to cf auto root and that seems to be where my issue is.....
I flash it thru odin and it passes goes thru with the whole updated rooted recovery....reboots and then SuperSU says "Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped working"
SuperSU is installed as a system app as its supposed too but I'm not rooted.
The market does not give the option to update. ...only open.
I sure could use a helping hand...thanks in advance
Also when I go back into recovery I'm back to the stock recovery....I've tried multiple times flashing cf but the end result is the same....nowhere

Good question from the looks of the information found in the link its still 4.4.2 just with some security updates. From a view doesn't seem like it but also wouldn't hurt to see it offers some improvements.
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Software Version: E98020h
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: KOT49I.E98020h
If your own E98020g then the update is just only 5mb
E98020g -> E98020h: 5.15 MB (Wi-Fi not required)
Then again after the stunt AT&T pulled graying out the APN in the last update its pretty much at your own risk at this point.
Alright, I went ahead and let the update download and install. Upon the phone rebooting, it is now stuck in CWM recovery. I can't seem to get out of it. I guess the update is not friendly with custom recoveries.
Anybody have suggestions on what to do? I found similar posts on the LG G2 forums, but they talk about connecting the phone to adb while still in CWM. Every time I try that, I get "device offline" and can't send any commands.
This sounds the same as last update three months ago.

bro, backup all app/data, then make a factory reset, wipe dalvik, then configure again your phone, download update via wifi, then restore your data, then root.... that's it
you look, your phone have is better and run perfect with 4.4.2 updated

I used this method with this image the last time I went back stock.
I may just pass on this update as it is too big of a PITA to go back stock and then re-customize everything.
Saved my life!

I want to thank you very much!
The only reason I even created a profile on this forum is o thank you! Yes, clicked the thank you button!
Worked like a charm! I never heard of towelroot until now, and it took about 3 seconds to download and another 3 to install.
Worked like a charm no issues sir.
THANK YOU AGAIN!
That is the easiest root I have ever done in my life!

Sounds like you're in the same boat i was. Sucks.
I ended up using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44983841, but i needed to do it slightly differently. It gave me a lot of grief last night, but I ended up getting it to work if i pulled the usb in and out of the phone when the lgflashtool showed that it was "ready". I can't fully remember the exact combination that worked, but i finally got the kitkat tot to flash and then update and towel root. If you have any more questions, let me know and I'll try to step through it when i make it to my laptop.

For what it's worth I am stock rooted and was able to do the update with no problems. I would suggest if your not sure of what your doing to look through the forums and find a safe way to unroot, go back to factory rom and then do the update. It will save you hours of trouble. Good luck
Lol I must have hit the button while sleeping ..... Buddy called me and I remember hitting the notification area ...boom stuck recovery loop... Its all good now I got it all figured out and restored my stock kk. Pain in the ass lol. Is that update even worth it ... What all is in it ? Nothing major I'm guessing

Reminds me of the Knox issue bricking phones after taking the MK3 Firmware on the S3 (SPHL710) and trying to odin back to an older version. Samsung never stops trying... Stock/AOSP needs to be based on BOB7 and earlier if this issue cant be resolved or the threads are gonna be a nightmare.

yep....that's what I got
So if you have OE1, you can't use Odin at all or only if the boot loader is locked?
Does updating to OE1 lock the boot loader?

If you have the correct .pit file, and re-partition, would that fix it?

From ob7 maybe
Same problem
That is what I suspected. I have been researching literally for 6 hours why my Note 4 wouldn't Odin back to stock. (stuck on CM too ) Looks like I wasted my day. Waiting for a Nandroid backup.... thanks everyone! :good:
EDIT: I have an extra Note 4 as a backup just in case. It is still on 5.0.1, rooting it now and making nandroid backup and will post link since I have no data on it. Sit tight!

Hello XDA community,
So I've owned the Note II since it came out basically. I used to ODIN custom recoveries and flash ROMs to it all the time. After the last update (4.4.2), I ODIN my phone back to stock to get the update; which of course included the dreaded KNOX. Afterwards, I just left it be due to the KNOX security and fear of messing up the phone. Long story short, I've been out of the loop for a couple of years and recently I've had the urge to try some of the newer ROMs and what not. More than likely this urge has spawned from the fact that I'll be doing away with my Note II soon, as it's very old and dated. So the fear of messing it up, has some what diminished.
So my question is... Is there anything special that I have to do before attempting to load a custom recovery after the 4.4.2 firmware update? Do I have to downgrade my current stock firmware first? Or is it still the same as it was before 4.4.2, just using ODIN to push the recovery and reboot? Any help is greatly appreciated! :victory:
Even with knox there is a chainfire setup. Trips knox but your out of warranty anyway. Just follow threads for your note 2. Mine is att.

Wow, Thanks for the quick response! Would you mind looking through these instructions right quick, and see if I'm safe to go with this method?
ROOT AT&T GALAXY NOTE 2 AND INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY
1.) Download and extract CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip to your PC. You’ll get an Odin flash-able file in the .tar.md5 format.
2.) Flash the CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.tar.md5 using Odin. You can follow our exclusive guide on flashing firmware using Odin
3.) During the CF Auto-root process, if the device is stuck at bootlogo, remove the battery and boot into recovery mode manually to start the rooting process.
4.) Once the flashing process is finished, reboot the device and open the SuperSU app. If you encounter any KNOX warnings, then follow the instructions given in our KNOX disabling guide
5.) If everything is fine on the rooting end, download the latest Odin flash-able TWRP recovery from the Official TWRP page
6.) The recovery is in the form of .tar package, flash it using the Odin guide
7.) Reboot the device into recovery mode and check if the recovery is installed properly.
That looks like the right one. Been awhile my note is still going. Getting oppo r7s soon. But yes looks correct. Good flashing.

Not sure where I went wrong. I factory reset my phone before I even started. Pushed the ROOT using ODIN 3.10. Everything went fine, the phone rebooted and came back with "SuperSU stopped working" ,"Youtube stopped working", "Maps stopped working." Unable to open any of those apps. I factory reset again, and cleared the cache, but still no luck. Any suggestions for me?
Only thing I can think is su needs to be re flashed

Tried to re-flash SuperSU, but still no luck. However, after all the other apps finished updating - I can use youtube and maps again. yay! lol.
By re-flashing stock, do you mean using ODIN to push a stock firmware back over to the phone? Did the stock 4.4.2 firmware ever leak out after release?
By the way, I really appreciate your advice on all this.
I did a 4.3 stock. Then I flashed DN3. But yeah gapps can be a pain too. Slipped my mind lol.
Yw for the tips but you're doing it . lol Have fun.
