Thanks at one time I had them all.. When I got rid of my S3 I must have deleted them..
Finally. I've tried to keep everything I've ever needed, just for this type of situation. Got lucky and found it.

so i have been working on my friends phone for a while now and cant get anything to flash to it.after an ota update it bricked.i tried to redo his phone because he did not have insurance and it wasnt under warranty.but i tried everything on here and i get nothing odin says no pit partition sometimes so i tried finding a fix for that.but after reading on here yesterday im wondering if im flashing the wrong sprint s3 files.are the files the same for the android it came with and the ota it got 2weeks ago? im guessing it was 4.2 and the ota was 4.3 since thats what was rolling out to the phones

If mk3 OTA was accepted Knox will not allow any previous versions to install... as I understand it

Did this phone have custom recovery or stock before he took the OTA?
EDIT: nevermind, it doesn't matter.
no it was stock unrooted.
I recently got the OTA 4.3 update and accepted it, but i felt the need to root it which i but after the rooting process was finished i booted my phone and instantly got a message saying superuser has stopped working. So i kinda panicked and decided to flash the stock MD4 rom and once it finished i tried to reboot the device but didnt get a response from it. I then pulled the battery out and tried to boot into recovery but still nothing not even a vibrate...Im most likely thinking its bricked but just to be sure im asking for your help. Thanks.
You hard-bricked it. When you update to MK3/4.3 via the OTA, you update the bootloader, which adds KNOX which prevents (by bricking) downgrading to anything lower than 4.3 versions. Good luck my friend.

Yea i figured i did lol. You think my bestbuy total device protection will take care of it? Also thanks for the clarification.
I could say go in and play dumb, because they won't be able to get it to boot under normal circumstances. I also could say be honest and see if it's covered. Your judgement call. Glad to have helped.
By chance can you get it into download mode?
GS4 Stock Rooted MJA 4.3,Philz Touch CWM,HotSpot Mod,Transparent Weather Widget...
Nope nothing like I said the phone didn't vibrate when trying to boot it up

If you can return it to Best Buy as defective or DOA and have them replace it on the spot, do it. I doubt they've got the gear to check out the software/firmware status if it doesn't power up. However, if you are forced to go through Samsung directly then you may or may not be SOL. Good luck amigo.

Call Samsung and tell them you tried to root and bricked it. They won't care. they will reflash it for free. They will email you a return label and all.
I know this because I just bricked mine yesterday too....

My roms in my sig have it 4.4 with mk3 without knoxs pre-baked in.
Alright guys I've been having issues with my phone for quite some time now, I think they started since the release of JB 4.3, I don't recall havving issues with 4.2.2 but who knows, ever since I upgraded to 4.3 I had the following I'm almost certain that it my device that is defective cause I read thru quite a few threads and I didn't see people complaining about the same issues as me, so Here's what's going on maybe someone out there is going thru the same.
Please know that I had the same issues wether I use TW or any google or AOSP rom.
1.- Phone calls, somewhat often when making/answering calls I cant hear the other person, it seems that they cant hear me neither, so I just hang up and re-call again and it goes thru, this happens both during wi-fi calling or just using regular signal.
2.-Camera won't focus I open my camera and and the image is blurry, I tap on the screen to focus but it won';t do it, so I just close it and open it again sometime I do this couple of time and then the camera works fine.
I guess all I'm looking for is a confirmation more than anything, since I have insurance, I can always take my phone into a t-mo store and get it replaced for $5 and get it replaced within 24hrs...
Currently running Darthstalker X1 with latest Modem...
Thank you guys and appreciate any info, opinion, or whatever u can offer!!
Have you tried just going to plain stock with Odin to see if it also happens?

You know that's about the only thing I haven't tried, I just don't want to deal with the Knox Security.. but I guess that I have to do it to find out for sure...
Or should I try to odin back to 4.2.2??
\
I think I'm going to try that...
If you're still on 4.2.2 bootloader then yeah Odin to 4.2.2 otherwise do 4.3

You were able to downgrade to 4.2.2 via Odin? That was pretty risky, I was on the s3 forums before my s4 and quite a few people kept bricking their phones attempting to downgrade to 4.1.2 in Odin from 4.3.. Don't know how it is with s4 though

Weird.. I also had the s3, well mi wife still has it.. I didn't know, but If I have to guess if would have something to do with Knox Security.. I upgraded my s4 the XDA way... not OTA, I flashed a knox free Rom, and later I odin the modem.. so probably that's why... any way.. it worked I downgraded successfully, now about my issues I think it's the phone, I opened my camera to a blurry screen and it wouldn't focus.. so I'm stoppin by T-mo store to get it exchanged...

Oh then yeah you still had the 4.2.2 bootloader so that's why it was ok.. Sounds like the problem is with the phone so yeah you need to exchange it

If you're going to exchange it anyways, why not Odin back to a 100% completely stock 4.3 TW and see if you are having those issues. Just remember, it's better to figure this out and learn from it just in case this ends up happening to you again. See, because if you go Odin back to 4.3 TW, and you still have this issue, then you can confirm it is a hardware issue. But if you Odin back to 4.3 and you don't have those issues, then you know something in your ROM or services was modified or corrupt. My suggestion, go back to stock and test it out. :good:

Yeah, definitely a HW issue. Good thing it was under warranty. And in most cases, they update the FW before shipping it out, so here's to hoping. :highfive:

Yeah, CF-AR (ChainFires Auto Root). Won't trip knox flag but flashing a recovery like CWM/Philz/TWRP will cause your flag to trip.

Hi folks,
I tried to trade in my note 4 at best buy and the girl recognized that it wasn't stock and wouldn't take it. Is the easiest way to return to stock from CM via odin and the stock firmware? Or do I have to relock somehow first?

Yeah I've done that a couple times. I used that stock restore file on hsbadr's thread, but I suppose if your turning it in it doesn't really matter which one.

Yeah I was looking for a couple posts where people were discussing it, but couldn't find it. If I remember right the fix is just flashing Oscar kernel but it's been I while since I've done it. I could be wrong.

yea it worked. just have some strange issue i had hoped this would fix. everytime i go into download mode it says installing system update like something is corrupted , not from your posted rom had it before think it might be hardware related. thanks
I have that exact same thing happening on my device as well. It is as if they pushed an update but did not complete the install or has some left over files that are causing confusion.
did anyone get it working. Mine works, loads form odin and then goes into a bootloop
