I rooted my GS4 yesterday and had no issues at all until i tried to flash a MOD to obtain wireless hotspot, but what i didnt notice was the MOD was for a Sprint version GS4. I know know if thats exactly what made my phone brick but im pretty positive because it was during the reboot that the phone got stuck on the TMO screen and apparently remaining soft-bricked. I spent the rest of the night and all of today reading and researching how to fix it myself before coming here to ask for help, so please bare with me.
I have already attempted to flash the official stock firmware using Odin, but it displays an error everytime saying it failed and something about AUTH. Sorry if im sounding vague, i am on a back up phone to use the internet and forgot to right down the exact message.. Anywho, i tried wiping everything and redoing the process and i even tried to flash the appropiate PIT file that i found but it still displays an error and says failed because of some AUTH or SEC problem.
Ive been at this diligently for almost 12 hours. My brain is filled with all these suggestions and methods that i have tried to use to restore my phone back to factory, but none of them have worked. I can still get into recovery and all that, so im assuming that there is still good chance i could fix the problem?
Also i am starting to get myself more and more confused about whether the firmware i downloaded is the right one i need for my phone, it seemed so at first but now i see theres TONS of region codes that can determine the firmware version?
Sorry if im all over the place, but i just dont know which step to take next..
I appreciate any help that is given, and im even willing to pay (some) bucks or maybe even (btc) for someone to walk me through what i need to do or what im doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance
Have you followed every single thing in the return to stock thread? Including updating your drivers, using the USB cable that came with your phone, running Odin as admin, etc?

No i havent tried that threads strategy, although i have done the same exact steps but only difference i see is that the firmware file name is:
M919UVUAMDL
While the one i was trying to use earlier was:
I9505XXUAMDM
This is where im getting very confused because i cant find a cut and dry way of knowing which firmware is the correct one..

You do have the T-Mobile SGS4, correct? Any files with I9505 in the name are for the international version, which is what you flashed (not the right file). All of ours will mention SGH-M919, M919, or jfltetmo in the file name. Pull the one in the thread I linked above and push that.
Crossing your fingers while doing so couldn't hurt...
Edit: I'd recommend using the "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR" in that thread as well, not the "stock tar (original)", since the MDL is official.

Thanks so much, i feel stupid for not realizing the difference between the two haha. Im d/l the firmware from the thread you referenced as we speak so i definitely will keep my fingers crossed and let you know how it turns out!
Thanks again. Im not sure how to give a thanks on here or credit for you help but your help is definitely appreciated.
error post
If you can get into download mode i would suggest flashing stock with that then rerooting that way the program downloads all of the nessacary stuff on its own.

First of all I would like to say this is my first post and I am feeling very optimistic as I have seen all the great things you guys have done over here! I understand in order to solve my problem I will have to be as detailed as I can, but please bare with me as I am a noob to this stuff and seem to have run into some trouble
Okay so I got a new S3 Last week and wanted to try it out on some new custom roms, I flashed it to CM 10.1 nightly using the roms downloaded via GooManager, all was fine and I had no problems until i flashed to a newer version of the nightly build and lost my signal, it always said Emergency calls only.
This happened to me once before but I solved it by flashing a modem file via Odin, since then I had to preform full system reset as I was considering selling my phone, it didn't come to that and now I am back to square one and once again I have no signal.
I have tried flashing the same modem file as I did before with no effect this time round
I have since tried many different modems and completely forgot which one has worked in the past. I have no back up files what so ever so I need to know what it is that is causing it not to get a signal. Could it be the kernel I am using? or is there a pacific modem for my ROM which I need.
I understand this is my own fault and stupidity, you guys are my last hope, I have also tried stock firmware which also has no signal.
It is an international i9300 with UK T-Mobile.
Please help me save my phone!
I hope you didn't flash a Tmobiles modem, because international gs3 and SGH-T999 aren't similar I believe other than looking the same. And more than likely you've lost your IMEI. Please goto settings and check your IMEI. Please do not post it, just verify if it's 0 or a 16 digit string.

Welcome to the forum! Albeit not quite the right one.
You need to post this in the international forum. This is for the US/Canadian models only. They are very different from yours, and not many people here will know much about it.
Do not flash anything you find here! It is highly likely to brick your phone. If you flashed our modems. Consider yourself lucky and now you know why it isn't working. Check with the guys in the other forum for your next step though.
I wish you luck!

As stated, incorrect forum. I'd give you the proper link if I was at a computer. But thank you for the detailed panic free post. It's seriously appreciated.
You're going to end up having to flash the modem that's for your phone, or maybe Odin stock.
You are right I have no imie number just a 16 digit string :/ sorry guys for posting in the wrong arearly next time I will make sure I will post correctly.
I am strating to get concerned, is this an easy fix? I dont mind wiping any data or using a certain Rom I just don't know which modem to use, some modems show me my bars but it still wont get any service. This one currently just shows a circle and cross icon with no bars at all. I am running stock.

I apologise thank you for the link, if I run into anymore trouble I will post to the correct section. I am glad to inform you I have solved the issue. It turns out I installed a bad modem which actually changes the file type of type of the efs folder. Causing roms to not reading it properly.

I fixed the issue by installing a stock firmware found on this post...
http://50.23.216.69-static.reverse.softlayer.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
This firmware carries a modem file which can read the modified efs folder, and in result restoring my IMEI Number and signal even after I flashed the rom to CM 10.1.
I hope some one else can stumble on to this and it helps them, please be aware though I have an intervention Galaxy s3 and this may not work in the states or other parts of the world.

Congrats, I'm glad you rectified the problem! Remember for next time, when you're not able to access data or you're stuck at 2G that your IMEI has most likely went! For future reference, I recommend making an EFS backup. We've all been there before and we know the scare!
And btw, welcome to XDA, enjoy the stay lol.
Yeah I have double backed up and thanks for the tip I will keep that in mind thanks again dude!

Yesterday I flashed S4 Revolution v8.0 [ROM][4.3 MJ9] then I lost my signal and imei and the baseband version is empty although I wipe my cash and data before flashing this rom.
I don't think that's a Rom we have for our device, unless I overlooked it.
Googled it and came up as an I9300 Rom. If this is what you flashed consider yourself extraordinarily lucky it's not hard bricked!
Odin flash the firmware for your model only! Hopefully that fixes it.....
And NEVER flash a Rom not for your model device.

Hi XDA Community
Well i just need your help. I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide phone more than a year ago and now i think its time for flashing some ROM's since ICS is getting too old for me plus it is really battery and ram hungry. My phone really needs updating and i dont want to mess it through some wrong steps or process.
As i stated i am a noob and my only experience is Rooting my device with the help of XDA threads only.
I was hoping if there are people willing to help me in suggesting and flashing a good ROM (whether 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 if any) because i was reading all the threads related to flashing and seemed kinda lost. Please can anyone help in explaining and directing me in steps (from backup to full flashing of ROM). For now i cannot afford to buy a new phone so keeping up with my buddy i927 glide.
Please Please Please, any help will be appreciated.
Simple step will be Good enough.
Thanks in advance to the XDA community.

The first thing you will want to do is get a custom recovery like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) or CWMR (Clockwork Mod Recovery).
You can find TWRP here. It includes all of the information you need to get started using a custom recovery, and its a touch based recovery program.
If you'd prefer CWMR, you can find it here.
Now, you will need access to a computer (and ODIN) to install the first custom recovery you want to use.
Download the (newest) ODIN version (onto your computer) of TWRP or CWMR from their respective download sites, and place your phone into download mode by restarting it, and then holding the [UP] volume button when its rebooting.
Now, assuming you rooted your phone already, you should know how to use ODIN.
After ODIN completes, reboot your phone into recovery mode, and you should see that you are in the recovery that you wanted!
The next step is to get Nandroid Backup and make a backup of your phone.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE REQUIRED TO BACKUP YOUR DEVICE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESTORE YOUR PHONE!!!
Now, you should be able to download and install a ROM, and install it via recovery.
Note: You must wipe your phone! All of it! Otherwise the ROM may not work!
For TWRP, just place the Custom ROM you want to use in either the root of your sdcard or in your ext-sdcard, and select that file in TWRP. Flash the file. If the ROM comes with custom gApps (Google Apps) as well, you need to flash them after you flash the ROM.
I have to go now, and will edit this later.
This is why I made my guide check it out in my signature!

Thank you all for your replies, it really means something to me.
Well i found the guide you all are talking about after a few days and my phone is now loaded with Android KitKat 4.4.2.
Thanks again to each and every one who replied and all the Xda community for such impressive work.
I've been reading and some of the links are broken, and some I just don't understand. Could somebody please explain how I can to get back to a samsung stock rom from cm 10.2.1. I have a sgh 1747, and I've tried multiple things, but none of them are working. I hate this rom, and with my flickering screen, I just can't read some of the things going on. I'm sorry for those that are taking their time to lend a hand. I've been really depressed, so it's affecting my brain, just can't comprehend much these last few days. I'm just so frustrated, and am about to throw my phone in the trash and just say **** having a phone. Sorry for small rant.
Try flashing the latest available firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmwares
You flash this in Odin. There are lots of guides for how to do that so I won't rewrite one here. I explain how in my firmware thread linked in my sig. Its a T-Mobile thread so just don't use the firmware I have there. But the how to flash part should be enough to help you flash yours.
If you want or need something newer than what is available on sammobile there is a thread in General with the 4.3 MJB firmware.

NJ5 Gear VR?
Is anyone able to confirm whether or not NJ5 stock works with the Gear VR on DE?
So would it be a bad idea to update just using the software update in the phones settings menu? Or should I do it by running odin? What actual difference does this make? Will this cause me issues once we do have a root method for this device?
would like to know, do I need to use a full firmware or partial firmware to update to lollipop?
Clarify instructions
Hello,
I'm fairly new to Android. That being said, I'm also new to flashing using Odin. I've searched for quite awhile for "detailed" instructions of Odin, but can't seem to find any. I did find a few things here and there but I would like to know what each and every entry does in the program. If someone can point me to the full instructions (link), I would greatly appreciate it.
Beyond that, the reason I'm posting here is that I'm a little confused by the directions given to use Odin in this thread. Line #5 states... "Add the *.tar.md5 file to AP / PDA". Looking at Odin 3.09, I don't see any "PDA" section anywhere. Is the reference to "PDA" simply something that AP used to be called before and is now not present in Odin 3.09?
Keep in mind that newbies like myself can get confused by small things. We don't want to make any mistakes we'll regret later. I hope you can relate and understand.
Attached a photo of what I'm asking about.
Thanks!

Had to restore and need to make sure I have the right firmware...Please help
It has been a very long time since I have posted to the threads. I have been with android since the very beginning and have flashed and done the custom rom thing quite a bit. I am stumped with this one though and I cannot find any information on it after searching for two days. I have the developer edition Note 4 and I had to do a restore on it because I did not like lollipop. I don't know if I have the right firmware. Even though everything is working alright, it just doesn't feel right. I am listing my firmware stuff below. Please tell me if I am right. I also don't know why my build number is NK5 and my baseband is NJ5. The way that I restored was flashing the stock NJ5 and then the nj5 to nk5 like for the lollipop update. The only difference is that I stopped there and loaded TWRP and root. Any help is much appreciated.
This is what I have currently:
BASEBAND: N910VVRU1ANJ5
KERNEL: 3.10.0

Only if you have a developer edition. You DO NOT want to update the developer edition with the updater in the phone or you will lock your bootloader. Otherwise I dont see a reason not to update with the phone. These files here are if you brick your phone and need to do a restore.

I pulled the trigger and all went well. I did get into three bootloops but pulled the battery each time until it finally gave in and booted up into KK. Not sure what went on there. Once I got through, I powered down, entered into the root menu, cleared cache/wiped data and restarted again. All is good, so it worked! Back in KK!
Lollipop does seem to run faster/smoother... and colors are nice... but I disliked the interface.
1) The notification panel is lighter blue in LP than in KK and so contrast is diminished. Old people have a hard time with contrast issues... and I'm OLD!
2) Don't like that LP phone number pad has no separators. No biggie but I like KK better.
3) Don't like how they added a floating icon in LP in contacts. It blocks some of my contact's info, so I have to scroll just to read it. Also, the icon makes the interface look "cheesy". Bad move in my opinion.
4) There are other things I dislike, but forgot what they were since I'm back to KK!!!!
Thanks for the help and reassurance!:good:

sir, what can i say .... in short i loose hope for upgrading into lollipop but your uploading help me

N910VVRU1BOAF Firmware
Hello,
I have a N910VVRU1BOAF that got updated to Lollipop but needs to go back to KitKat. I downloaded the Full Firmware from the first post and followed instructions from post #3. The flash runs without errors and shows PASS at the end, but when the phone reboots no changes have been made to it and its still running Lollipop. It looks like if all I did to the phone was just rebooting it. Sorry for the noob question. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
My bad. Just found out what I missed. N910VVRU1BOAF is lollipop, so I just need to flash N910VVRU1ANJ5.
Thanks to all.

I just have 2 question' pertaining to my story since i can't find anything helpful with the ni1 firmware/baseband. 1) do i need to unroot and use stock restore for NI1 to get back to full stock rom and firmware than update to nj5 firmware in order to get efs pro to work with my note 4 or can i just follow the single step update to OAF firmware from the NI1 firmware if i want to go to Mod57s pac rom 5.1? 2) if someone would be so kind to explain the order of operation of updating for firmware and rom.. (i. E) flash firmware before rom or rom before firnware? I only see mention of firmware updating losing custom recovery and root but not which order needed to be flashed? I apologize for the long trip but without having a backup of my aboot or efs i don't want to chance doing something the wrong way. Thank you all so much for your time

Note 4 Retail Version Root
I have seen some post stating that this is for Developer version ONLY. Simple question. Can I use these root files on Verizon Samsung Note 4 Retail version? I just upgraded from an S4. Would really like to root my NOTE. If so, i will document step by step on what I do and share with the community. - Thanks in advance - Jamey
How do I upgrade from CPD1 to CPF3? My bootloader is already unlocked. Will I need to unlock again?

I'm having spotty cellular connection and I'd like to try a different modem or two and see if another one works better.
I'm running CM14 on a retail edition (rooted obviously), can I just flash the modems only? Any knowledge of them working with CM14?
Thanks in advance.
