Hi Guys! I have a rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2. If i initialize it via kies 3, will there be no problem? Will I be able to root it again?
What do you mean initialize? Like perform a reset? Root has been achievable in every android version for this device so I think that answers your second question

Yes, I want to perform a reset. By the way, do you know how to flash back the stock recovery?

You can flash it back with stock firmware.. If you want to reset I suggest you use Odin instead of kies.. Download 4.4.2 firmware from fenny and flash it with Odin.. Flashing the firmware will also flash stock recovery

I'm gonna try it, but my real problem is I can't access my recovery by holding the three buttons... Whatever the recovery I install... I can access it only via a rom manager... Do you know how to fix that?

why are you trying to boot to recovery? press and hold the power and volume down buttons and let go of both as soon as you see the blue 'recovery is booting' message

I usually use the recovery to install roms and others... that method wasn't working... I fixed it, now it works perfectly. Thanks!

Hi All,
Couple days ago I tried to flash my note2 with mobile odin back to stock rom but something went wrong and since I have not been able to get past the welcome screen *Samsung Galaxy Note 2*. I can get into a recovery screen but I am unable to choose a new rom to flash with.
I ve tried to flash it with odin 3.07 and via kies but no joy.
At this stage I am quite desperate to get this resolved. Can anyone help me?
Download correct stock rom to pc. Mount SD Card in recovery. Transfer file. flash from recovery.
Flash stock rom via pc odin
make a nandroid bake up as soon as you root your phone next time.

Unfortunately I do not have that option. I only have volume up to continue or volume down to restart. When I go volume up the phone goes into download mode.
Yeah. Then you have to flash stock firmware.

True but i had to use Odin and every guideline said the filed had to color yellow while for me it stayed blue but i figured heck at the moment it's just a paperweight so I don't have a lot to loose.
Now Rooting it again and placing my nandroid back up back and I am all sorted.
Thank you again!

I lost my data anyway I had backed it up with titanium but ran into problems restoring it... Lesson learned to create an image of my Android once I got it sorted again.
Thanks
I had the same problem and almost had a heart attack thinking I bricked my phone when downgrading back to 4.1.1... Needless to say I just had to do a factory reset in recovery and it worked fine
So here is my deal, I have been flashing custom ROMs on my TMobile Note 2 and I think I may have made an error one ROM in particular. WanamLite ROM. I have TWRP and noticed that ROM uses CWM instead. Now I cannot load any ROM as it either upgrades itself amsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen. Is there anyway I could get out of this mess?
I think that rom is made for international note 2 but you should be able to use what ever recovery you want, what are you trying to flash, or you just trying to get into recovery?

Okay, I just did that and it just had the android logo with it saying downloading, do not turn off target! So I guess I'll wait for it to download whatever it's downloading.
No you need Odin now to install either a stock or rooted firmware , do you have Odin on your computer? Can you get into recovery or no? volume up power and home at the same time,

No, I do not have Odin on my laptop. I have TWRP as my recovery and can actually get into it by doing the volume up, power button and home at the same time. I'll check the site to see if I can Odin.
If you have a way to download Jedi onto your SD card you don't need Odin

This. All of the Odin talk was on the assumption that you couldn't get back into recovery.

No OS. TWRP was installed and I thought I had ROM on SD card no. So now I have no OS. I tried the Volume up home on button but just says Galaxy Note 3 and that's yet.
I read some other posts but where do I get recovery image and how do I get to bootloader? via Odin?
How do I recover?
Where did the os go that you was running.you know it is power home and vol up at same time to get into recovery.

If you have to ask questions like that it really would be worth reading up on how to do this stuff. Unsure if you can truly brick it but better to be safe than sorry.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
You can't really brick this way, although I'd consider it a soft brick. No os is simply that, no os. Uninstall your pc os and everything is still there, all your data is fine (given you keep your os and data separate. I.e partitions, which is android.)
Flash an os and you're fine

CWM nor TWRP will install
I succeeded in getting back to stock. I put the TWRP & CWM installed via Odin (Odin passed) but when I 3 button turn on it boots to the screen that says up volume to install OS and I go into Odin screen.
What gives?
3 button boot is for download mode...

For realizing I'm a moron! Somehow I missed the Vol up part! LOL
Seeing as how I haven't flashed a recovery, I've no reason to attempt recovery. Thought it was still Vol - and power like the s3.

I have a problem with my S4 m919, I installed Android 4.4.2 (Sammobile version) but now I have a problem, the phone won't boot and I got this message: " System software not authoryzed by Samsung has been found on your phone".
Also at the top (right) red letters says: (Secure Fail: Keanel)
At this moment I can't go into recovery mode, but I can in download mode.
Please help, What can i do?

ok here is the thing i rooted my phone. it works but i believe i that i used the wrong baseband version which was m919uvufnb4 instead of M919UVUAMDL. also kernal version is 3.4.0-g4224a08-dirty fenny. i did not know about the knox counter. and my problem is i cant hear my phone ring, can't make a call, can't listen to music. i would like to just get it back to it's normal state can someone help me please:good:
I would guess the best thing you could do is flash (thru Kies) the stock NB4 firmware, that should get everything back to standard, then you can still root and everything from there, but it should get everything back up and running right for you. As far as Knox goes, if it's tripped (0x1) I don't think there's anything you can do to really reset it. I know at one point you could use triangle away think it was and that could reset it but I think I remember that's not working so well anymore, tho I could be mistaken.
good luck.

thanks for some insight MoodSwinger now i have kies but it's not reconizing my device
do you have the stock firmware full DL, It's something 1.5GB IRCC? If not, get it.
do you have a custom recovery installed? You said you were rooted so I'm guessing yes. Can you boot into recovery?
if you can do those try flashing the stock thru the custom recovery.
search how to fix a softbricked device there's a thread and answers in this (T-Mobile SGS4) section just find them, and you should be able to recover at least to get back to stock. Then you should be back on track.

For our devices always use PDA to flash stuff.

I shall try it once I get home. Should I uncheck anything thing like auto boot , repartition, reset time

You did flash the tar file right? If so try flashing it a second time and don't use mobile Odin.. If it still doesn't work you can try flashing a 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM and see if that helps.. If all this fails its likely a hardware problem
