So I just downloaded Illusion ROM a little bit ago and went into CWM and wiped and flashed. I have been flashing multiple ROMs for weeks with no trouble and I've been flashing since the HTC Incredible about 3 years ago, so I kind of have an idea on how to flash properly. So after I install the gapps and reboot I get the yellow triangle and it tells me go to the verizon store because it can't verify software. So when I try to boot into recovery it will not load, so I can't even flash my back up. I did not install any OTA updates or hook my phone up to the PC. When the Samsung splash screen comes up it still has the unlocked icon. So any help would be appreciated on how to fix this because I am going to be steaming if I wasted $300 on this phone. I knew I should of waited until the Nexus 5.....
Flash the stock image in Odin. For future reference, this happened becauseyou flashed something without a loki patched boot.img.

Can you please post the link for the stock factory image. I can find every carrier except verizon. I tried the no wipe one or whatever and it said the file was incomplete when I tried to extract it. Still said it after multiple downloads

I downloaded and deleted it 3 different times and tried two different mirrors and 2 different zip extractors and it still says there are files missing and when I load what I did extract Odin says its corrupt or something
If you rooted your phone you should have a MDK kernel image laying around somewhere or be able to find it on your own. And as said above it happened because your boot img was not loki'd for you. This could be because you are running a recovery that doesn't loki for you, the boot.img in the ROM was not loki'd making it a boot.lok, or you tried installing something that was not for verizon and thus the boot.img was no good.
SO:
boot into download mode
-powered off state, hold volume down and power until it shows you the splash screen
Open Odin
uncheck f. reset
click pda
navigate to your MDK kernel file
Open it
connect device
wait until it says it found it
Then hit start
Profit

HELP, i've downloaded countless versions of the Stock recovery MD5 file and none are working to unbrick my Verizon galaxy S4 Firmware ver:*VRUAME7 (came stock with this firmware when purchased) and nothing is working. I was trying to install the recovery files from "sxtpdevelopers"
After successfully rooting using the microSD card method, I stupidly installed GooIM and then tried to install twrp.. I forgot that this version of firmware didn't have the bootloader unlocked yet and when the I booted into recovery it took me straight to " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." *I already tried KIES recovery but it asks for serial number. THERE NO DAMN serial numbers anywhere on the phone, battery, or box that work. (including IMEI)
I then figured DOWNLOAD MODE worked so let me flash the stock odin file but I keep getting a FAIL installation every time.
FYI; I'm using parallels for mac and windows 8 to run odin. all the com ports are ok and I know there isn't a connection problem.
Any help would be appreciated. THANKS.*

THANK YOU SO MUCH!.. The funny thing is I had downloaded "SCH-I545_VZW_1_20130613171315_24s13crny1_fac.zip" already in my trials and tribulations. Probably the one I downloaded was corrupt because this one installed with a breeze. The one located on that site worked instantly. Now if we can just get that bootloader unlocked. I wish was a programming genius sometimes, I would unlock it; then take that ransom and donate it. Thanks again
Just wanted to say thanks. I was able to use that link + Odin3 to get my friend's Verizon Galaxy S4 back to normal. Best Buy and a Samsung rep at the store were unable to handle this lol

I did the OTA update from M1I to MJ7 and read somewhere that the M1I root method would work. It made my phone unbootable. Obviously the M1I file I have won't work now. I need the MJ7 odin file now or else my phone is a paperweight until then.
Someone else did this 2, you can't use this method because it FLASHES A ROOTED Ml1 Rom....... Odin file still has not been posted yet

thankfully i have an iphone i can use for now. surprisingly i went to boot up my phone just now and it went through almost the whole boot process. it's stuck on the verizon splash. last night it would just go straight into odin.
I am not so lucky as to have a backup phone
I should look for a cheap 4g phone to keep in a drawer for such occasions. Hopefully an MJ7 file is made available soon so I can recovery my files before my new phone arrives.

You might be able to get it into recovery and manually use the update.zip.
It is reported that at least a few people have been able to get out of the state you are in my using a manual update.

Untested, but you can unzip the attached and flash it in ODIN - it's the stock MJ7 recovery. With a bit of luck that'll get you repaired.
If not, flash the no-wipe MJ7 ROM from the Android Development forum, but that'll probably cause you to lose root.

Awesome
You know... I don't post much if at all on xda. Mostly im an intel junkie but I have to say after bricking my 24 hour old MJ7 s4 and fully recovering it using this post you guys are ****ing AWESOME!
FYI The exact steps I took were as follows using windows 8.1 pro x64
downloaded Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0
downloaded Odin3 v3.07
downloaded ALL_I545VRUEMJ7_I545VZWEMJ7_1937946_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
Install Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0 drivers
Ran odin as administrator, left defaults checked and chose PDA ALL_I545VRUEMJ7_I545VZWEMJ7_1937946_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
(Windows hangs when trying to first browse the file, WAIT)
plugged phone in and got instant com green and hit start. Waited 20 mins and it all went through successfully.
USERS NOTE:
The first computer I tried just absolutely would not flash this phone. Drivers where correct etc it just seemed like it dropped connection. Tried 3 separate usb ports one even off a powered hub and all failed on the system flash. Changed computers and followed the same setup and went first try. If it fails try and try again. Changing different ports, computers, and or drivers helps if you get failure messages.
Thanks to all of you!

Just an FYI. Whenever you take an OTA from the Carrier it's written so you cannot revert back to an earlier build or a soft and possible hard brick can occur. This has been discussed numerous times in various forums. You were lucky this time.
Hello,
I am hoping someone can direct me as to how I can unbrick my device.
I have been using JellyBomb for about a month now and decided to upgrade to the newest version. I downloaded 3.0 and put it on my external SD card via usb. I backed up what I needed to onto google drive and dropbox and did a factory reset. Upon installing the ROM, however, I received an error message saying that the ROM had failed.
I tried another old file after another factory reset (old jellybomb version) and this got stuck in the middle of flashing it. This is when the trouble started as when I rebooted my device I could not access Recovery.
I have since reflashed my recovery to Clockwork and now I can get into that menu. I have tried to download the stock ROM from sammobile and after that 10 hour download (and I am not sure if I'm doing this correctly) it does not flash the entire 1.3 gig file. It looks like it only does something to the recovery. I am putting the .TAR file into the "PDA" section of ODIN... is this not correct? I can not find a TAR.mp5 file like the tutorials say so maybe I have the wrong file type?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you for your time.
Drew
To clarify: The only screens that I can get to are recovery and download mode. If I go into recovery and try to flash something it does not work but gets stuck in a freeze. In download mode my computer is seeing it when I am in ODIN but I am not sure that I have the right stock ROM file.
Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm on my 3rd Note 3 because of all kinds of issues with rooting....I've used CF auto, and Kingo. Had exact same issue of not being able to restore android, and soft bricking. Once was able to push MI4 from sammobile using ODIN 1.85, .tar in PDA. If it took you 10 hours to download, you probably have a bad download. I have not rooted this device because of all the problems almost everyone is having sooner or later, and STILL have to reboot, battery pull, wipe cache from stock recovery etc. Knox/selinux kernel Samsung has started using seems to be the culprit(s). Just look at all the posts for problems, lack of new development, and the fact that a Note 2 costs more with a contract than the 3....If you can successfully flash stock,I would stick with it for now. Good luck!:good:

NICE. Going to give this a try. Thanks!
I received this verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a gift and a project, but haven't been able to make any progress.
The tablet was bought from a taxi company that used it was in car entertainment. When booted, an app immediately starts up and removes the navigation bar. If you are fast enough, you can get to the settings and uninstall this app before it starts, or what I have found to be easier, just use shell commands to hit home and uninstall while the app tries to regain control.
The table is currently running 3.2, and cannot update over wifi, nothing happens.
Root was gained by an unknown method, but the SU app won't open up. I can access su through the shell however.
I have tried flashing a cwm recovery through ODIN which says is successful but if it is booted straight to the recovery it is still stock.
Flashing ROM's through ODIN appear to be successful, but just boots right back to the original rom and recovery.
Adding anything to the SD card or anywhere else accessable to the stock recovery does not work either because the SD card is reformatted to the original contents every time.
This also occurs with any apps that are installed, each one is removed when rebooted except for SU. And Rom Manager FC's when CWM is attempting to flash.
nvflash will not work either because the bootloader is locked.
I don't know much about the boot sequence for android, but I looked for any init. files that are out of the ordinary and cannot find anything.
I'm giving this tablet away when I finally figure it out, I just want to fix it. Any help would be awesome and let me know if I've left something out.
Even if no one has any specific suggestions, can someone post a PIT file for a SCH-i905? I have seen the stock firmware that can be flashed through ODIN but it does not stick on my unit.
Thanks!
Excuse my English but my original language is Spanish.
The default verizon tablet brings in recovery an option that reloads the original recovery. If units installed CWM via Odin must access the recovery option (Vol +) on 1st boot and enter the option to leave cmw (reboot) will give you the option of not recovering the recovery.
The other alternative is to flash via odin the original software look it by google "PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708"
in this case the tab stay with the factory version.
if the team does not have SIM must type top left - top right - bottom left, bottom right and then vol + to unlock.
good look

i had the same problem but pulling the sim and unlocking as mentioned above helped a lot then went through the whole rooting process through odin and have not had any issues with anything reverting back to stock. only issue now is not very many roms for our model "bummer" all in all still a good droid tablet for what i paid lol if you still havent got it going let me know and i will give you all the directions and steps i used
I have tried installing PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE2011070 4_0708 through Odin3.
I do boot directly into recovery after installing CWM, the stock recovery still persists. I have tried several times because I know sometimes it does not stick.
I have also tried flashing the factory image linked in that xda post "[ROM]EG01 - Factory STOCK ODIN Image - VZW LTE Tab 10.1".
Boots right back up and starts the same taxi cab show case media software it normally does.
One thing I did not note in the first post. I do have root access when the tablet is booted into the os, but I do not when the tablet is in recover. I dont know if this is unusual or not.
I can also install busy box, but have yet to find out his would be useful.
I also do not have access to nvflash, but I think this is normal because the bootloader is not unlocked.

Was there a p4vzw twrp version some where in those links?
Looks like all of the ones referenced were 3g and wifi only.
Sidenote: I don't care if I keep 4g functionality or not, I will only be using this for wifi, if that makes fixing the problem any easier.

After downloading the odin flashable twrp, I tried first with Odin3, but it failed. Then I flashed with JOdin, this first pulled a PIT file from the tab then failed to repartition. If I ran it without repartitioning it said it was sucessful, but if I boot straight into recovery the stock android recovery still comes up.
I have a way to get a pit file now though, so that's nice.

I reset and tried several more times. I tried to use odin and flash a stock 4.2.2 ROM SCH-I545_VZW_1_20140330160240_yni63xq6zh and I also tried a 4.4.2 rom. Odin gave a an error and failed. I then tried going into the boot loader and flash the I545_OC1_Stock_DeOdexed_ROMwNK4_BL.zip also. Not sure if this was foolish or not but when I booted up I got to a black screen and there was a voice talking, maybe some sort of app that was running, but I couldn't do anything.
Right now when I turn on the phone it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I tried connecting it to my computer and opening kies but it doesn't find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to unbrick my S4 I would appreciate it. I know I screwed up.
as long as you can access ODIN you can unbrick. since your on 4.4.2 get the original rom and install. re root and install your rom of choice. from there if you have a previous backup in titanium you can restore

I was on 4.2.2. I tried downloading the original ROM for this but it didn't work in Odin.
Problem is I can't get into download mode now, or recovery mode even. It's just at that screen I mentioned above. So Odin isn't recognizing my phone.
thats outside my knowledge base. sorry. good luck

so if you hold down VOL- and power it doesn't go into download mode?
It won't be recognized in Odin until you get back to download mode. - in Odin then you'd want to flash the PIT file and the ROM you need.
The only other way to fix would be to get ahold of a copy of Verizon's Software Upgrade Assistant/Software Recovery Assistant, which looks like someone has uploaded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469615
The Software Recovery Assistant should fix it if nothing else does, I have used it before.
No when I turn it on it goes straight to the screen I mention with a yellow triangle and it does the same if I hold all the buttons down like you normally would to get in recovery.
I assume a battery pull didn't help. Since you have MDK, it MIGHT be worth it to get the JTAG dongle, which will boot the phone into download mode. It is about 3 bucks.
I tried installing in windows xp, windows 7 and windows 8 with no luck. I clicked the exe and it does nothing. I then tried installing on a MAC. It installed but when I went to run it the software opened for 1 second and then close with an error software closed unexpectedly. The I updated the software on the MAC and the software opened but the second I plugged in the phone it gave the same error. The MAC did find the phone though but windows did not.

Just plug the phone (on that screen) into your PC and see if it shows up in Odin.
If not, pull the battery, and hold the volume down and power buttons as you put the battery back in. Then choose Continue.
Did you read my post? I have done that. My phone is hard bricked. I can't get into recovery mode and therefore I can't get into download mode so therefore odin won't find my phone.

Which ROM did you flash, link?
Ahhh. The linked version of the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant doesn't work. Sorry about that.
I just pulled the .iso from my S4 and posted it up, try this one: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347780563
Per npjohnson advice I was able to get the phone into download mode. I misread your post at first so sorry about that. Now I need to figure out how to fix this. I flashed Lollipop originally so does that mean I can't actually go back to 4.2.2 using a stock ROM? Can someone point me to a ROM I should try to flash since the so called stock ROM's I have tried are failing in Odin.
I tried flashing this one:
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS4/SCH-i545/VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.zip
It came from here:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
As for the Verizon assistant that was just posted it does not install just like the other. I click it and the screen flashed and then it does nothing.

What lollipop did you flash originally? OTA?
I was rooted and then I flashed I545_OC1_Stock_DeOdexed_ROMwNK4_BL which I think is android 5.0.1. I used flashfire.
This was the thread I followed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i545oc1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3096558
Did the battery die on you? I think this is where you need the debrick image....

Probably should try the full factory image linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pment/odin-i545vrugoc1-factory-image-t3160125
That will put you on 5.0.1 OC1 including bootloader. You'll then root with Kingroot, use Super-sume to replace Kingroot with SuperSu and then you can use the NON-MDK ROM with FlashFire. (odex, or deodex if you want to use xposed modules.
