I rooted my phone via Kingo and installed TWRP. Everything was fine. Installed various roms (CM 11, Jedi, Slim, Wicked, etc) Anyways I decided I wanted to go back to factory unrooted state. So I had put up a message on the forum asking how. Odin seemed like the popular and easiest way so I download the stock rom and put my phone into download mode. Clicked on PDA and selected the md5 file. Ran Odin and it said it was successful (Said Pass when done). Anyways my phone rebooted and now it goes through the Samsung logo and into the T Mobile logo where I hear the T-Jingle but it just stays on that screen. I did try and redo Odin and ran into the same results. I can get into Download Mode and Recovery Mode. By the way Recovery is back to the stock version.
Any help would be appreicated.
I figured it out. I went into the stock recovery and wiped everything and then installed the stock rom via zip and it worked fine after that .

Okay so here's the thing. I been following XDA for a while and I never had a problem with rooting and installing roms. Yesterday we received a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 from Sprint. I believed it's the T217S version but anyways I looked up info and found out how to root it and put a custom recovery. Everything went fine until I decided to install the Remedy Rom. Now I wasn't sure if I had to wipe anything but just to be safe I did except the SD card. After that I Installed the Remedy Rom but before I could install the Knox Remover 1.2 it had already rebooted when it rebooted it bricked on the Samsung Logo. Now I began to panic but I researched and found out running the Stock Rom from Odin would fix this little issue. After running it back to stock. I again tried to get into Recovery but this time I got a different Recovery it said no command in the background and in the top Android system recovery. I remember I installed TWRP. I'm not sure what went wrong but now I can't restore it back to how it was. I can't even get into download mode to re root it.
Can anyone help me with this dilemma?
Can no one help me with this issue?
There was a recent sprint update to this device as of a few days ago. It's possible that the older rooting and recovery may not be compatible.
You might be able to Odin back to the prior version, then try root/recovery.

Thank you for the reply. As I said I cant access download mode anymore so how can I run Odin through it? I can still boot into the Device itself I just can't enter recovery or download mode.
I've searched around for this specific problem and haven't found anything that will help me. I have the SPH-L710 model through Sprint that was previously running Android 4.4.2. That version killed the battery, so I attempted to root and install a custom ROM. I have rooted before, so superSU was already on the phone. I opted to follow the rooting directions from galaxys3root.com, which uses ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4. I did that and installed superSU again via a .zip file. When I rebooted the phone, superSU kept stopping. After some frustration, I found that there was an updated superSU v2.01 that I installed via CWM. Being an idiot, I figured I would just go right ahead and trying to install the custom ROM without checking anything. I then attempted to install the Carbon ROM 4.4.4 from galaxys3root.com without first making a backup of my existing version (again, idiot). There was some sort of error, and after that point, I was unable to boot up the phone...it would display the Samsung GS3 screen and then do a continuous bootloop.
I tried finding stock ROMS, but they usually have to be loaded from the SD card rather than through ODIN, and they so far haven't been working. I have downloaded more than one that claimed to be an MD5, but they turned out not to be. My wife has the exact same phone so I thought maybe if I use CWM to save a backup of hers to my SD card, perhaps I could restore that and boot up my phone. I got a bit farther this time and boot up made it through the Samsung GS3 and various Sprint 4g screens before getting stuck on the last Samsung screen.
If I can get the phone to boot up again, I've since learned that once you update superSU, you can have it disable knox, thereby allowing me to root, and thereby allowing me to install a custom ROM, but at this point I just need to get the phone to boot up so I can use it again.
Summary:
Attempted to root using CWM v5.5.0.4
Did not properly disable Knox first and had an error loading custom ROM
Phone stuck in bootloop
Did not back up phone first but have a backup of my wife's exact same model
Used that backup and it gets stuck on very last Samsung screen
Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank you. That image worked perfectly, and the recovery is a newer version than I was trying to use earlier.

i know lol but its the best one for stock ND8 honestly
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and for about a year and a half always wanted to root it but had no idea how. I had an iPhone a while back and used to jailbreak it I became an expert at it. Rooting is not so easy compared at least with the problems I've been experiencing
I started by watching hundreds of root videos and ended up rooting it with Odin and Kit Kat tar file im not sure of the specific file but I'm almost 100% it was my version 4.4.2 that I flashed.
After I did this I downloaded the basics and tried to get TWRP but gooManager wasnt working for some reason.
I tried to flash the Cyanongen 11 onto my phone using the installer for the comp and on google play store and it worked up until the end I got the dead droid symbol for a bit and it finished downloading to show the "ROM may flash stock recover on boot. Fix?" error message and I selected no and "Root Access Possibly Lost Fix?" I also selected no. My phone booted with no custom rom still rooted and most of my apps are unresponsive and close randomly except facebook and youtube.
I decided I wanted to return it to stock rom and try again but when I downloaded the stock tar file and tried to flash it I got this
I'm not sure what to do because I cant return it to stock rom, clockmod recovery has stopped working, and every video I watch about how to fix it is only making it worse.
If you have any idea what I can do or what I'm doing wrong let me know.
Odin failed because you cannot flash older firmware. Your best bet is to reflash recovery via Odin, then if you want stock go to enewman17's stock rom/system dump thread in development and flash the rom and factory reset.

I tried to flash cwm recovery onto my phone usb debugging selected and now odin doesnt even show that my phones recognized. This is so frustrating.
I suggest installing Philz Touch recovery via Odin and using Philz to flash a custom ROM to at least get your phone up and running.

If Kies is on your computer, remove it. Have you tried reinstalling drivers?

Hi:
My S4 (SGH-M919) started to give me an "Unable to detect you SIM Card. Your Device will restart to checkfor your SIM card" error unexpectedly. This became really annoying when I was getting the error 10 times a day. The phone was rooted but running stock ROM / kernel.
I stopped by a T-Mobile store to see if I could get a new SIM but they told me the first thing I would have to do is to install the latest software updates from Samsung / T-Mobile (I didn't tell them that my phone was rooted).
So back home I downloaded the latest (4.4.2 / M919UVUFNB4) and installed it using Odin. Then everything went downhill from there...
The phone would not connect to WiFi (would get a message "Checking the quality of your connection")
The screen would not turn off anymore
The soft keys would not light up
Etc...
So I went and rebooted in recovery (stock) and there I saw that I had the dreaded Dead Droid with the Red Triangle... oops!
So I did a factory reset / wipe on the phone rebooted to let the phone do it's things, logged into my gmail account... Everything seems to work fine, but when I reboot in recovery I still get the dead droid with the red triangle...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
4.4.4 nh7 is the latest firmware, you probably borked your root/custom recovery. You need to start over again, check your phone for root with app from play store and go from there.

Thanks for the answer. Couple of questions:
What's the best way to "start over"? (I did the intall of 4.4.4 using Odin, twice!, didn't root after the install, but the phone was rooted before and I ran Triagle Away before I did the update).
Where can I find 4.4.4 nh7? (when I run the "software update" from the settings menu on the phone it tells me that there are no updates available)
Thanks.

Stock firmware can be found here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508
This last link has instructions on the how.
You may need to ODIN the firmware once. Remove battery without shutting down - just pull it, and then flash again.
Rob
Rlichtefeld links are good and can get the job done, but since you had root and custom rom the only way the phone will run a software update and find it is if your stone stock (wipe with factory reset ) .
Your better off working with Odin on your PC.
Pp.
Thanks for all the help... Still not good, here is what I did.
The phone was rooted but running stock ROM.
Downloaded the NH7 firmware from sammobile
Uploaded the NH7 using Odin, pull the battery off, re-uploaded the NH7 firmware.
Rebooted the phone, let it do it's things. Phone boots correctly and everything looks fine.
Shutdown the phone and rebooted in Recovery mode
And in recovery I still see the dead droid with the Red Triangle!!!!!
Here is what I see on the screen
Anroid system recovery <3e>
KTU8P.M919UVUFNH7
Volume up/down to move higlights;
power button to select.
Followed by the standard recovery menu, then dead droid image and
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Appllied the CSC-Code : TMB
Succefully applied multi-CSC.
I am at a loss here...
Thanks for any help.
It sounds like your using the stock recovery, that may be broken. You should install a new custom recovery like CWM. There is an app in the play store that will install one as long as your rooted, Root Rashr - Flash Tool.
May need to install superuser if not installed.

Looks like this. I used this with no problems, it will give you choices on recoveries, CWM, Philz,and TWRP.
I'm using CWM.

Looks like it. I hope in the end that will cure the "Unable to detect your SIM card error".
Is there a way to flash the original recovery?
If not, I mgiht root the phone and install CMW. Is there a Odin installable version these days or do I need to do it via ADB or the original recovery? (I haven't done it a a while!).
Denis
Only way to get stock recovery is to go back to stock, if you use the app it will install a custom recovery if you have root. it's very easy to use vs odin. There is a video that shows you how to do it, look in you tube.

That android image at stock recovery is normal

I did go back to stock when I installed the latest stock ROM, which then, if I understand what you say, should have installed the stock recovery. In which case, my issue with the dead droid in the recovery screen should not be a screwed up recovery...
By "the app" you mean the CMW ROM Manager?
Thanks.

I was on stock /rooted NH7 two days ago, wanting to flash a transparent weather widget I located this app in the play store, installed it, ran it and had CWM recovery when finished, then proceeded to flash the zip file for the weather widget. PROFIT.
You don't want to mess with rom manager.
