Hello everybody,
I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V ( Videotron) 3 days ago worn. This one worked on the version 5.0.1 of Android. I wanted it to be unlock. I saw the technique of * 0011 * (http: // bit.ly / 1ipFgwB), but it did not work because, according to what I read, it worked)only before Android 4.3. I thought that maybe if I flashed Android 4.3 I will able to unlock my S4 and go back in 5.0.1.
I rooted my telephone with no problem with CF-Auto-Root. I then installed TWRP. I did not made a backup. Then, I downloaded a ROM of Android 4.2.2. I put my telephone in Recovery Mode and I tried of wipe it as in tutoriels. Accidentally I pressed on Factory restore. I realized that the ROM was not on my device. I closed my phone and I reopened it. The screen was stuck on the logo Samsung. Because of that, I tried to restore it completely. I tried with TWRP, but it did not work. I tried to install the ROM that I had put on the micro-sd. I tried to flash with TWRP, but it did not work. I tried with ODIN, but it did not work too and the little box was red and had spelt FAIL. Since then, my telephone shows " Firmware upgrade encounteredand issue". I cannot go recovery mode. Kies does not recognize my telephone.
I tried to glash my phone with several other official ROMA than I got at Sammobile and of other site. I also tried with ODIN 3.07, 3.09, 3.10. I have the last drivers Samsung also.
I would send screenshot if you need it
Thank you very much
You can not downgrade that phone below version 4.4.2. Believe me, I tried. Try using 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. I unlocked my phone using the steps I outlined in this thread-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/unlock-method-m919-m919n-t3138503
Going to anything less than 4.4.2 gave me the same error. Now with the Google Play roms that are floating around, you can downgrade from those to 4.42 and 4.4.4, but again, nothing below.
SamMobile.com has those for download here---> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/

Hi,
I had my galaxy note 2 with stock android 4.3 firmware. Phone is unrooted. And I decided to downgrade to 4.1.1. Took stock firmware for my region, took odin, entered download mode and flashed my phone with this firmware. Odin completed without any problems, phone rebooted and stuck on splash screen. I entered recovery mode then, wiped data and cache partition and phone booted without any problems. But here goes my major problem - my phone can not register onto my mobile network. When I search for the networks - phone can see them but when I select network phone simply refuses to register onto this network Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Its a problem with the radio incompatibility . Did you download the firmware for the correct region ?
Just to test try flashing any of the custom firmware in 4.1 framework . See if the network registers . If it does then ur flashing a wrong version of stock .

Hi, it seems that I was able to find solution. As I've been on 4.3 official rom it seems that EFS partitions were modified and when I flashed stock 4.1.1 it seems that the modem can't access info on this partition. So I flashed modem from official 4.1.2 firmware and everything started to work. This thing was mentioned somewhere on this forum.
But here comes my another problem When I flashed to 4.1.1 I saw knox warranty void 0x1 But it was too late when I saw what this does mean But the problem is that download mode says that my phone is in custom state and that I loaded custom firmware 1 time. Well... I've tried to root the phone, installed triangle away and tried to reset flash counter. When I entered download mode I saw that flash counter was set to 0 and that the phone is in official state. But when I rebooted phone till Android OS and went to download mode after that I saw that flash counter was set to 1 again but the phone is in official state. Why is that? I have stock recovery and stock rom. As I've read there must be no such thing. Could it be because my bootloader is from 4.3 version? And one more thing - I was not able to enter recovery mode when I rooted the phone Phone stays at the flash screen forever Is it expected thing with stock recovery?
And one more question. Lets imagine that I have 4.1.1 official rom, I'm rooted and want to flash 4.1.2 official rom with odin. Do I need to unroot my phone at first or can I skip this step? Thanks.
If you are on 4.3 then Triangle away will not work due to knox . Its recommend you unroot the phone before flashing a new rom using Odin.
I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 on my S3 about a month ago. Yesterday, I got a notification on my phone stating that an update was available for CyanogenMod. I let it install and when the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the bootloader for at least an hour or two. I figured that I must've bricked the phone. I can still get into recovery mode and download mode.
So, I tried to reinstall the stock AT&T GS3 ROM as I had never particularly liked CyanogenMod. I thought this would be a great time to reinstall the stock ROM. I factory reset the phone and flashed the stock ROM (which I downloaded from another thread) using Odin. It automatically rebooted, the Samsung logo flashed for a second and the CyanogenMod bootloader showed up and it has not gone away since. So, what have I done wrong here and is there a way to save my phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Where did you get the ROM you flashed? Did your phone have the 4.3 bootloader? What about Knox?
If your phone has the 4.3 bootloader, you cannot flash the 4.3 ROM via Odin as it was never released as a complete ROM, only as an update. THis might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Experienced Galaxy rooter here. I used Odin Mode on the Sg3 as well as my gf Pro tab 8.4 and my 10.1 as well. Ive never had problems until now. So here's what happened today:
This morning
I decided to install Twrp using Flashify. Having been rooted for months, it worked. I then installed Cm 11 using TWRP. I wiped cache and installed gapps from goo manager. Everything went smooth. I played around with it for about an hour. No problem.
Then I installed Team freezes ROM. I used flashify. Everything seemed normal, then I realized I couldn't get past Samsung title screen. So i plugged up to Odin and installed stock Recovery. Nothing. Reinstalled TWRP... can't get into Twrp. Used Odin again to install Phillz.. Nothing.
Once again I installed original stock through Odin. Here I am again stock at the Samsung boot screen. I can only do three things 1. Turn off 2. Reset 3.odin mode
What do i do?
I just want to get this thing to boot so i can see what happened or at lest into some sort of recovery where i can load from sd
If you're in Download (Odin) Mode....
Make sure you have S/N on hand.
Enter Download Mode and run KIES3, choose Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
Enter model number and S/N
Returning to bone stock may take an hour, so make sure the battery is fully charged. Moreover, YOUR TAB WILL BE TOTALLY WIPED AND GO BACK TO BONE STOCK!

Thanks for this. I lost my system due to System Cleaner 2 fudgin' it up on reboot. I was about to hassle Best Buy into an exchange but gave this a try. I thought I had it made by doing a factory reset but even that didn't work. Luckily Kies came to the rescue after I figured out they wanted a generic model SM-T320, not the rest of it. Again thanks to you mate!
So This is my first time posting on any forum site for help, and i was refereed to XDA by my roommate. so what happened is a few months ago i asked my roommate to root my galaxy s3 SGH-I747, after he rooted it through odin and all seemed well, BUT we never could get the phone to recognize the root and was still unable to access any root functions. so after a few different attempts we gave up. i assumed that my roommate had removed the root (bad call) but never gave it any thought. a few days ago at&t started bugging me with a software update. i just hit ignore and it would pop up again in a few hours and the icon would never go away. so i gave in and started the update. i didnt pay the phone any attention while it "updated" but later that morning i went to turn it back on and it would get to the Samsung screen then the next screen but after that it goes black and vibrates. i showed it to my roommate and he informed me that it was never restored back to official frimware like i had previously assumed. and that it never should have received the update bc it was still on a custom frimware. we tried flashing the stock frimware back on the phone and every time it would fail the nand write. i believe it was updated to 4.4.2 before i received the update from AT&T and we tried many different ways too restore it i even tried the recovery in Kies 3 but all it says is "connecting" then connection failed. so far nothing has worked. i believe that the update contained android 5.0 and maybe that is the reason none of the other ways we tried worked. i have been researching for hours trying to find a similar case but nothing matches, and i cant find a single working solution that doesn't involve possible making it worse. i can access both the recovery and download modes. please any information or help would be greatly appreciated.
Flash a custom recovery such as Philz Touch via Odin, install cm10.2 via your custom recovery. This should get the phone booted so you can determine the bootloader version on your phone. The NAND error is due to the fact that you are trying to downgrade the bootloader in Odin. Don't flash anything with Odin until you determine the bootloader. Doing so could hard brick your phone.

thanks so much man youve been a big help that worked.
I had TWRP 2870
i was running cm 11 cough made
everything was fine for a few days then realized that i could only receive text messages and my lte was always dropping out. So I verified my APN setting with my wife's i317 and made all adjustments as needed but no help. so i just got fed up with it all and reinstalled from a backup that i made of stock 4.4.2 everything worked then last night my phone received an OTA from AT&T but because I had TWRP it would not install. I am assuming that it was the stage freight update so (all the trouble began) I used a back to stock recovery using a back to stock sticky that i found and it worked it took me all the way back to stock recovery and 4.1.2 I think and then after installing all necessary updates I went to about device and check for updates and it downloaded a update I don't remember the file size but under 500 megs. then it restarted and installed it then rebooted and it would not go past the samsung logo I have tried everything but a pit file or something like that the only thing i have access to is download mode. when I tried going back to stock 4.4.2 using odin3 v.1.85 and flashed I317-UCUCNE5-Stock.tar odin says all is good and I get very happy but the stupid phone wont boot it gets stuck at the same samgung logo for 30mins. help me. please! Im stuck using the captivate untill i get this fixed.
And you cannot boot into recovery using the 3 button combo ??
If yes ....wipe data...factory reset the device...and wipe the cache as well...g
Edit:
The Update will put the device to UCUCNJ1 official and will lock you into the Knox bootloader as well.
The only 4.1.2 reverts from this point forward cannot contain the bootloader image or softbrick will occur....g
