t mobile galaxy s4 totaly bricked

I tied to flash the pac-man 4.2.2 ROM to my rooted s4. It worked but all the Google apps did not come with it... so I downloaded an app package off of GooManeger. Anyway after reboot it was obvious the app package was not compatible. Wiped phone, then no ROM, no OS, no nothing. Device doesn't get past initial boot screen. I can get into download and recovery mode. Not really sure how to download anything on my phone right now as my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. My recovery mode is TeamWin. I'm sure there's more you want to know so please ask and I appreciate your help.

You need to start from scratch using ODIN and flash the stock/non rooted Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 firmware.
(using download mode in the phone)
Here is the download link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213469534/9ff06bd/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip.html
After the odin flash you will need to root the phone unless you want to keep it stock.
Good luck!

You may have wiped the /system folder which may explain why your phone is stuck on the booting sequence. As the poster said above, use Odin to flash the stock MDL and root again. As far as your computer not recognizing it. Put the phone into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power), plug the phone into a different USB port (and let the drivers install if it's the first time you're plugging your phone in that port for Windows users), and then open up Odin and flash the stock firmware from there. Let us know if Odin recognizes your phone.

If you can still get into download mode and recovery, you are NOT totally bricked.

Recovery is not working
Got phone back to normal, then accomplished root access. Downloaded clock work and now recovery mode does not work. I downloaded CW from hot file. I was sure to download the right one for my phone... anyway I cant factory reset at the moment, it just sticks at recovery boot screen. What I'm trying to accomplish is download CW, pacman 4.3 ROM, and Gapps.

You gotta be careful where you're getting your files from man.
Try Philz CWM flash via Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322676
You could also Odin back to stock (you know how to do that now:good
Root again and use ROM Manager to install CWM.

Start using and MD5 hash checker to make sure your downloads are not corrupted. :silly:
Odin back to stock and re-root. IIRC, CWM should be available from the Play store where you can then open the app and install/update the libraries. Didn't Pacman ROM include CWM?

Thank you guys for the advice. Super usefull
I was under the impression I needed to download a download a recovery mod first. Where is the best place to get my ROMs? I'm real interested in the pacman. I extracted the pacman files but it wont plug into the PDA in Odin. Also MD5 hash checker is something I've never heard of..

What? You don't install Pacrom through Odin. You flash the zip in recovery.

The app in the Play Store is call ROM Manager, you can use it to install CWM recovery.

You need to have a working custom recovery first. Like Skipjacks stated, you flash ROM in the custom recovery.
I think you should start from the beginning and take it step by step.
I assumed at this point you're rooted on the stock ROM with stock recovery?
If not lets get to that stage and we can go from there.
-Stock ROM rooted with stock recovery
-Flash custom recovery
-Nandroid backup
-Flash custom ROM<<You are here
Let us know when you're ready for the next step.:good:

Derp moment. CWM != ROM Mgr. :silly: Thanks for the clarification.

I did it all with exception of flashing the ROM. Every time I try to flash the pacman 4.3 it fails. Any suggestions on how to fix that or should I turn my attention so a different ROM. I'm going for optimization and complete customization, without needing a launcher. Or maybe a suggested ave to customize touch wiz to the fullest.

See if there is something you are skipping,make sure you have the latest PC drivers

Your not rooted. Reroot using odin 3.0.9 you might need to reinstall stock rom. If you read skynote thread your answer is there as well as download links... your welcome

I re-ran odin and I am now rooted, my phone wasn't in debug mode... and the instructions didn't say that but I tried it and it worked.
Now my problem is when I try to start my phone in recovery mode the galaxy note logo flickers up and down the screen and the phone completely goes dead and i have to take out the battery to get it to start again. I have followed both sets of instructions to a T for clock work mod recovery and it hasn't worked.

And on the clock work mod recovery instructions, now when I click to download it it says failed download error...

I re-installed clock work mod recov 4 times and still when I try to start in recovery mode the screen flickers n theres lines across the screen n then the phone goes dead and I have to pull the battery to restart.

Try it with TWRP
http://tinyw.in/16LP

I installed that but it is an image file and odin will not open an image file?
Is it the same instructions to run this as it is to run cwm?

It says it needs to converted to a .tar file. How do I do that?

The link I provided is for the tar file. If you downloaded it do not extract it.
Look here, end of the page
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/124

Maybe this doesn't apply to you, or maybe it's too late, but some flavors of Samsung Android 4.x have a file to restore stock recovery at boot.
With the phone rooted and a root capable file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer look in the /etc directory. If there is a file in there called install-recovery.sh rename it and then try re installing cwm or twrp.

I clicked on the link and then went to end of the page to download for Odin, but when you click on that link there are a million different files, I just want to make sure I am clicking on the right one. Dont want to brick my phone. Is there a difference between all of the different files?
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar.EjYLF6
is that the correct file?

Ok so I got TWRP installed.
Next question, I have been out of the loop for a few years so how do I get the latest firmware? Right now I have Android Version 4.1.2 and baseband version I317UCAMH3.
Is that the latest for the galaxy note 2? I have att and its the SGH I317
I didnt even plan to f with my phone but the other day my phone glitched and erased 300 pictures and videos from my newborn daughter that I just had and I was so upset and trying to find a way to recover them, someone told me to root my phone and try disk digger... so far I have had no luck at all with recovering anything... totally sucks and I am soooo upset!

4.1.2 is the latest OFFICIAL AT&T build. There is an unofficial leak in the Android Development section, but I honestly don't know how it performs as I only run AOSP roms.

I assume you did not install a custom recovery???
If you did you need to download the right firmware package and load from the recovery.
You may try Odin 3.7 if you can manage to get into stock firmware upload.

Its not bricked - your recovery is probably a cwm - flash twerp if you want to install cm11 - or stock recovery..anyway cm11 is great but no phone...so not great for us 5100

Thw note cannot be detected anymore in pc. How do I flash or root again :3

Download and install Odin 1.85 next search the stock firmware for your model here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Get your Note into download mode ( Press and keep holding the Volume Down, Home and Power ) and connect it to your PC, Odin should "see" it the first slot under ID:slot should turn a different color if so you are in good shape, now put the Firmware you download from above mentioned site click PDA*button and select the downloaded .tar.md5 file, Important: In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are enabled. Also, ensure that the Re-partition checkbox is not enabled and hit start and let Odin do the rest and you should be up and running in no time and now you can start over from scratch

In CWM, wipe data and factory reset. Then go to Download mode, use Odin and flash your stock rom. That should do it.

What ROM are you trying to flash? You must have missed a step. Make sure you read the instructions carefully before doing anything and use a custom rom for your device. Try again. I'm also new to Android and has softbricked my tab a couple of times now.
Go back to stock. Let your device boot completely. Install recovery again. Reboot again.

[Q] Nand write fail for rom flash SM-T805

Hi, I am in need of assistance. I have a Tab S 10.5 SM-T805 with rom XXU1ANF8
I am struggling to flash firmware for my sm-t805 using odin and stock roms downloaded from sammobile. I have tried various version of the stock roms as well as different versions of odin, but they all have the same result.
The result is either "NAND Write Start! FAIL!!" or "Setup connection.. Can't open the serial(COM) port." The order in which I do things might impact which error I receive, such as attaching the tablet first or selecting the ROM file first in PDA box.
Here is why I am desperate. Since this result was pretty consistent, I flashed TWRP successfully and wiped all the partitions, including the system partition. Now, there is no OS installed. Using TWRP I have attempted the 'Install' method of flashing ROMS, but now my error is exclusively the first type.
I read some of the other threads and attempted any advice relevant posted there. This is sort of relevant to what I am trying to do, but my system partition has been wiped. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/odin-flashes-fail-t3028264), so there is no relevance to enabling USB debugging for disabling reactivation lock. This is a guy who can do what I am trying to do. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/roms-flashing-advice-t805-t3031963)

Is activation lock off? That what causes it not to flash. The only thing I can suggest is transferring a custom zip rom and flash it with twrp. Or try another firmware from a different country.

It was my observation that this activation lock is off by default on the stock rom. In order to turn this on, you have to register with a Samsung account.

Idk then, I guess you got to wait for another firmware that comes to your country

Just flash the Swiss Rom then after it fails, boot into download mode again then Install and boot into twrp.
Twrp will wipe the cache and auto reboot. The device should then boot normally.

Is TWRP 2.8.6.0 chagallwifi ok for this procedur ? and can i flash the original swisscom ? or the cleared .tar without the two files ..... and when i in download mode ... wich kombo can i use for reboot in download mode again

Twrp for chagallwifi should do it. Flash swisscom odin firmware then flash twrp and wipe. Reboot into Download by holding power+volume down+ Home buttons

I have tested this procedure and it dont work for my tab .... i must wait for a no branding rom. It dont boot .... hangs on system.img in odin. Twrp is ok now i cant boot after flash twrp, it stay at samsung logo and no boot .... i have 30 minutes wait. Ok i will wait for a other lolipop rom

There is no branding in the system image. I don't see why it won't flash. Can you post a screenshot of Odin. Also what is your official firmware build number?

I had the same issue today, when using the UK 5.0.2 ROM. These steps helped and it worked afterwards, thanks!
