Bricked. I believe. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi, so Im very new to this, and thought I had done my research, but I found out that i hadn't gone far enough, and chose to root with king root, and read somewhere to then switch to supersume. which is where things went wrong. so now my phone wont load past the Verizon screen, I can access the boot menu and tried the recovery option there, but no success. I then proceeded to try and flash it, by using Odin. well I cant seem to get the right combinations of downloads in order to get it to work correctly.
Do I have any luck trying to flash it back to its original firmware? or is it a paperweight that has a battery and a screen...
I am currently downloading some firmware from: www .rwilco12.com/ downloads.php?dir=Files/ Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy% 20S4%20%28Verizon%29%20% 28SCH-I545%29/Stock% 20ROMs/ (being a new user, I cant post urls, so hopefully this works with all the spaces. sorry)
and we'll see if they work...
and any input or suggestions would be much appreciated.

You must not have seen this then.

you also have to delete the 'install-recovery.sh' file at /system/etc, don't forget that step!
what version of cwm?

i'm using 5.0.2.0 installed from Rom Manager. I've never heard of deleteing that file, unless you use Rom Racer.

I am using rom manager and i dont even get the option of backing up roms...nor the ability to turn off protection on packages ect..
i just tried deleting the install-recovery.sh (rather i renamed it, so i could get it back. And still no cwm after restart? Any other ideas? Did i do something wrong there?
ok...so nothing that you guys suggested works...I have no idea how to get CWM to work fully....now i am stuck with the lame motoblur...yay..
Are you guys 1000% sure you're rooted?
1000%, i have super user app, and i run titanium backup. Everything gets granted root just fine that ask for it.

strange thing happened. I deleted Rom Manager application. I redownloaded it. It already detected that i was on latest clockwork recovery 5.0.2.0, but i went ahead and flashed it anyways. I then restarted with volume down. I picked "Android Recovery" and it worked just fine. Booted right into cwm!!!! every subsequent time - it doesn't boot into CWM (it boots into what must be motorola's recovery menu).
Wow! That's so odd! I'm glad you found a way to work it at least once though, even if you have to reinstall Rom Manager every time to work it, hopefully this thread is still on page 1 when the experts wake up!
But that is going to suck if i have to reinstall it everytime to use it. i feel like if I can't get into from startup it would be too risky to put any rom on my phone. If i got into a boot loop or something, it seems like i would be so screwed.
After that file has been removed, reflash CWM and it should work. At least that's what got me going.
That did it. Delete the file then reflashed. Awesome. Thanks Guys!
I'm just a noob, mobileweasel helped the most (too bad i'm limited to 5 thanks a day, it's 1:18am here and i've used them up already )
I haven't even got the phone yet but i'm still trying to learn about it and hopefully, help others along the way too See you around!
Well guys the most i can say on this one is, I had somewhat the same problem my first time around. Except mine said, failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode.
the problem that i was having was that i hadn't unlocked my bootloader, which i found that if you want the most recent rom builds, you need to have an unlocked bootloader. there is a sticky for it in the android development section. still should be first thread. says Pudding.
take a look at that. as i thought i had everything ready to go when i got my atrix. i was wrong but a couple of the atrix guru's got me set straight and working with recovery and roms within ten minutes.
any questions, go ahead and PM me and i will give you what help i can. the atrix was the first device to elude me especially since now instead of tefnars recovery we actually have a full working cwm.

[Q] Read until my eyes hurt....I'm sorry i have to ask....

This is my very first smartphone as I have been to poor to get one before now. I have Att SGS2. From what i have read i have made a bad decision when doing the factory upgrade to uckk6.
The thing is I want to root the phone, put on custom mods....but I am having a hard time grasping it. I don't want to mess anything up and I dont want to lose my photos and such that are on the phone.
I dont know where to even start.....backup program? or? what all programs or apps i need?
before I upgraded, i downloaded a super1click program and it said it was rooted...then i tried to use the phone and there was soooo much lag in the response time..... i hit the unroot button and tried to use the phone and same thing...restarted phone and it was fine. While it was rooted tho, the damn superuser part asked for money before i could even do anything, that was second reason for unroot and of course thinking i may mess up my phone.
I have tried asking all my friends and to no avail have succeeded in finding anyone that has rooted a phone and/or flashed custom roms.
Like I said in the title, i have been to many different sites even trying to read up and I would rather be safe than sorry. If someone could plz help me out here I would be very grateful.
I am hoping I don't get spazzed at like i seen in a few other posts of other ppl.
And i have seen where someone sent ppl to:
[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root
but that doesnt get my foothold on where to start at.
Please don't write me off as a lost cause because I would like to enjoy the benefits of having a rooted phone and custom roms as the rest of you that are intelligent enough to do so. At one point I'm sure you were where i am. I am very eager to learn and can't wait!
While I was writing this i downloaded the Uckk6_stock_rooted.tar.7z not sure if i need it or what though.
Thanks
Follow this guide TO A TEE, and you shouldn't have any problems. It also won't trigger the flash counter so you can take it back for repairs and Samsung won't know you've done anything to it. Use (2C) Entropy's version using windows to root as the others won't work with the OTA update. If you have a MAC, use 2D. Folow the directions EXACTLY how their written. This will get you rooted. Drop down to 3B and again, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY HOW THEIR WRITTEN. After this is done, you have a Entropy's kernel with CWM. You can then download any COMPATIBLE rom to your internal SD card and flash the rom with CWM.
To save your pics and such, just hook your phone to your puter via the USB cord and copy/paste, or drag and drop to a file on your computer.

I just don't understand why people who can't comprehend the process of rooting or flashing even try. It's not like this phone sucks stock that they just have to mod it to make it workable. None of this is rocket science, but if you don't understand it beforehand then JUST LEAVE YOUR PHONE ALONE! It will be 100 times harder to fix it if you don't know how you messed it up in the first place. It really isn't fair to expect people in here to bail you out when things go wrong because you didn't know what you were doing. The warnings aren't there to keep you from the good stuff. They're there so that you'll think before doing and only do once you understand.

I've read everything in your thread so far and it sounds like everything is fixed. If wifi works and you have root, cwm, and superuser you should be good to go. Go install roms and enjoy. Really doubt your wifi is going anywhere. I'm far from a programmer or anything like that, and from my experience, if you follow the instructions it's hard to **** this phone up beyond repair firmware wise so freaking out is pointless.

Please Help!

Hey, everyone. I know this is probably the last thing you want to read, but I could really use some prompt help.
I tried the method posted in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686551
I got to step 3, but it didn't let me choose recovery. It just started installing the update. However, when it rebooted, it never got past the white HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery, pulled the MicroSD card, went back into the bootloader and tried running Factory Reset. Same result - stuck at white HTC boot screen.
Some more information:
1. Device is completely stock - no customer bootloader, stock Gingerbread OS. (2.3.4. That's why I wanted to try this in the first place. According to HTC, my IMEI number block hasn't been updated for ICS, yet.)
2. I renamed the file "update" as per the thread.
I'm hoping that the devs and contributors here will have mercy on a lowly noob who's having problems. I'm hoping to either return to stock and wait for the ICS update, or get to the point where I can install a custom ROM found here. (I was thinking SpeedROM). But, as my device has Gingerbread (or, potentially nothing at this point), I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks so much for any suggestions. You guys are the best, and I love this site.
Not sure if you've tried this yet, just name your file as PH85IMG.zip and place it on your microSD. Boot into bootloader and let it run the update. If this is what you did, then I have no clue what happened.
Just out of curiosity, why didn't you get the official OTA the official way if you're completely stock?
PS - This question belongs in the Q&A subforum. Remember that next time if you don't want to get flamed =)

The official update just never showed up. I literally lost count of the number of times I went into Settings > About phone > HTC software updates > Check now.
I've been on probably 4 chats and 4-5 calls between T-Mobile customer service and HTC tech support. The general consensus is that my phone's IMEI number is in a block that hasn't been authorized for the ICS update, yet. But, I really wanted to upgrade, and I think it's ridiculous that it's been 2 months since the update and my phone can't.
Ok, so I'm first going to apologize, since I've heard that double-posting is very much not accepted by forum communities.
I've tried several times to fix this. I renamed the file as was suggested, and went back into the bootloader. It (apparently) scans the MicroSD card for files, and says "Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]" (It attempts to load PH85DIAG.zip, says no image, and PH85IMG.nbh, and again says no image)
After this, it says "Checking..[PH85IMG.zip]" (That is the only thing it says)
Then, I get the options:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
If I go into FASTBOOT, it doesn't really help - just reboots either the bootloader (repeating this process, obviously) or the phone, which goes back to the white HTC boot screen it's hanging on.
If I go into RECOVERY, there's not option to install the .zip like the other page suggests, but if I try "Install update from SD card" it gives me "Illegal operation" and reboots.
If I go to FACTORY RESET, it acts like it's reinstalling, but leads to the same problem.
I'm thinking that I just nuked the phone's internal storage, and completely deleted the original OS. Any ideas on how to resolve that?
Or, if that's not the problem, where should I go from here?
It's funny....I troubleshoot computers for a living....but I'm lost right now on this phone.
Thank you for the continued help, gents! I'd really like to not have to throw away a $350, brand new phone....
I would guess you have one of the 3
the wrong carrier's ruu
A bad download of ruu
Renamed wrong (maybe you added ".zip" when it already had the ext but is just hidden by windows 7)

Hm....well, it's not the third. I doubt the first, unless the wrong file was linked in the thread I mentioned. I'll try downloading the file again.
So, if this still doesn't work for me, let's attack this from a different angle. Are there any other options? Could I change the bootloader, install the leaked ICS ROM, then install another one after that? Like I said, I had been considering trying out Project Butter Speed ROM. I know that the instructions for all that are in the Amaze Bible thread, but there's such a large volume of data there, it's hard to sift through.
Edit: Re-downloaded the file; no change. Any more suggestions?
I've been away a while, but if my memory serves me correct, to install it using ph85img, you must first relock your bootloader. are you locked or unlocked right now?

I never unlocked or modified the bootloader in any way. That's why I thought this would work. My impression was that basically everything had to be stock.

I think you need to reconsider the name of your file. If it shows up as PH85IMG.zip, more likely than not, it is actually named PH85IMG.zip.zip
This is due to how Windows reads files. If the file is of a known file type, it will not show up the extension (even though it IS there).
Try renaming it to PH85IMG and then put it in the root directory of the SD card and then boot into bootloader. It *should* read it.

I'm a computer support tech. Trust me, I did not add an extra file extension, lol. Windows does indeed recognize it as a zip file, so I know the extension is properly set. Name is just set to "PH85IMG"

I understand that, but if you read through the Q&A section, you'll know why I imperatively make that statement. Can you link me to which file you're trying to flash? I'm thinking it might be a wrong file you're trying to flash.
When you flash or update via a stock ruu, it may seem stuck but it isn't, first boot always takes time, read through this thread properly when I get home, the guys seems to be here, so I'm not needed anyways.

[ROM][ODIN][4.4.4] SM-G900P NI3 - Full Restore (Modem/Kernel/Recovery)

First off I would like to please ask everyone to thank the anonymous donor for this file because we wouldn't be seeing it today without them.
For all those that have been waiting, it's not the official release - but it is stable enough for daily driver use.
I haven't had much time to test this but the only issue I had with it was flashing it.
If it gets stuck trying to get to recovery pull the battery and flash again.
I am marking this a full restore because it looks like it wiped data, including pictures. YMMV.
At the moment I'm only putting the original file up.
I'll try to get an Odin one-click and a nodata version up later.
Link to NI3 folder:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S5 (Sprint) (SM-G900P)/Stock ROMs/NI3
Steps:
1) Download EXE file, double-click to extract.
2) Put the phone in download mode.
If you've never done this before, easiest way is to shut the phone down completely.
Then hold Vol Down + Power until you see a warning screen. Press up to proceed.
3) Open Odin (I used 3.07), place in PDA slot and flash.
4) Profit!
Please feel free to leave feedback on the flash and ROM but please keep in mind I have no special contact to relay that feedback.
Do me a favor please - if you're going to reply don't clutter my thread with spam. Thank you.
Reminds me of that old Monty Python skit. LOL

There is a problem with the screen not turning off when making a call. Other than that it seems smooth so far. Wifi calling is only new feature that i have tested, and it seems to work fine.
You cant root with towelroot you have to use cf-autoroot which trips knox. Since i had tripped it already WTF not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51421067&postcount=2
Screen shots please?

I have that screen on while on a call problem with my not yet rooted S5 on NE5 from time to time. That one may not be new. I wonder if its possibly a hardware issue?

First off I would like to please ask everyone to thank the anonymous donor for this file because we wouldn't be seeing it today without them.
For all those that have been waiting, it's not the official release - but it is stable enough for daily driver use.
I haven't had much time to test this but the only issue I had with it was flashing it.
If it gets stuck trying to get to recovery pull the battery and flash again.
I am marking this a full restore because it looks like it wiped data, including pictures. YMMV.
At the moment I'm only putting the original file up.
I'll try to get an Odin one-click and a nodata version up later.
Link to NI3 folder:
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S5 (Sprint) (SM-G900P)/Stock ROMs/NI3
Steps:
1) Download EXE file, double-click to extract.
2) Put the phone in download mode.
If you've never done this before, easiest way is to shut the phone down completely.
Then hold Vol Down + Power until you see a warning screen. Press up to proceed.
3) Open Odin (I used 3.07), place in PDA slot and flash.
4) Profit!
Please feel free to leave feedback on the flash and ROM but please keep in mind I have no special contact to relay that feedback.

I would also like to know this, I just downloaded it but dont want to attempt to try it and not have a phone until I can get back to my place later
Finally getting around to deodexing and rooting this build.
Wish me luck.
If anyone has it ready to go and is just going through testing, let me know so I don't spend hours getting it ready.
Has anyone tried to go back to ne5 after update?

I now have a bootable odexed version. I probably wont do deodexed right away, its not worth the extra effort. Going to try getting one done that is rooted with busybox to post later.
Edit: And it seems to be fine with the NE5 modem too so no worries there.
I'm on my way home I may deodex it. Will post back if I do.
Oh great, I was just getting my rom ready to release an update, lol. Thanks for working on this guys.

( Stock Firmware) Release For Galaxy S4 (I545PP) OH7

after a long wait for the firmware to be released of the S4 running OH7 , it still has not been released. However i decided to make it myself and now we finally have it. I have tested it on my S4 that came with OH7 build originally. So here you go guys, Firmware containing OH7 running lollipop 5.0.1 with stock kernel 3.4 of mon Sep. 7 2015.
little guide to help you install the firmware if you need it.
you will find the firmware link below that i have uploaded and as for odin you can just google it. now im sure you can use other versions of odin but always safest to be up-to-date.
you will need: OH7 firmware file (Download link at the bottom), odin 3.10.7, WinRar and USB data cable
steps:
1. put phone into download mode by holding the home+vol up+power keys at the same time.
2. plug your phone into your PC (be sure drivers for the phone are installed correctly)
3. open up your handy tool of Odin
4. open up the firmware file you have downloaded in Winrar and extract it, you will then be given an MD5 File containing the firmware
5. click on "AP" in odin and browse for the file (odin might not respond after that but be patient, it will)
6. after the program responds, double check that F. Reset time and Auto Reboot are the ONLY ones ticked/checked
7.Go ahead and hit start and sit back for a few minutes and let odin do its thing
8. after all goes well and in the top box says "PASS!" then your phone will reboot and be good as new.
Just a heads up that this firmware is meant and made for the prepaid variant of the Verizon S4. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the postpaid S4 for the postpaid firmware has negative effects on the prepaid variant so id assume it have the same outcome on postpaid variant. Also im not responsible like anyone else out there if you brick your phone by not following the steps correctly or flashing it incorrectly in some way. Just a disclaimer that everyone puts out on here. hope this helps everyone. enjoy!
If the link becomes a broken link, let me know and i will update. i just need to move the file from time to time due to high data traffic

now that i have released the stock firmware of OH7, i am trying to Deodex this also but keep getting failed start ups. i used LBD 2.5 to try an deodex and followed the guide but i hear start up sound not even a second and it stops and it dont show the verizon logo. i used flashfire to flash the deodexed files. so that being said, could some actual dev, deodex this firmware for i cannot? id really appreciate it and id share the deodexed firmware on the thread as well with of course giving proper credit to whomever can deodex it. thanks!

This needs to be maken into a rom first as well before deodexed but i can do both actually if you don't know how to build a rom.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
Well if you could do both, I'd really appreciate it. I can't even begin to understand how to extract an md5. So confusing. Plus gotta get it to work with flash fire. I tried other roms with flashfire and kept getting system not responding. So I always had to Odin back to stock and on the custom rom I never get even a boot animation. So I'm not sure what's up with it

Flash fire is horrible. Use v24 seems to be the best atm. I can do both. In the middle of mod'ing the s5 rom I made. But after I build it I would have you test it 1st before deodexing as you want to make sure it boots 1st before moving on.

I think I tried your rom before. Your username was on a rom that I tried. It was non mdk which was said to use. I used flashfire beings I can't have safestrap on lollipop. It's all I could use to flash things thanks to a locked bootloader. But I'll try your suggestion and I can surely test what you put out for the s4. Just need an idea of what to use to flash things. And you talking version 24 of flashfire? Cause I already use that an got those outcomes. Also if it makes it any easier on you, could you just rebuild your ultranote5 rom for the prepaid variant? Whichever is easier for you. I loved the feature list that you had for it though I couldn't get it to get past the boot screen cause it would like freeze at the animation but at the same time there wasn't even an animation. Just a quick Samsung sound that doesn't even finish. Wish I knew more about rom development but it can get get complex I think.

Not sure if it's still an issue or not, but I had similar problems before. Flashfire didn't seem to be finishing backups or flashes. I think I was using v18 or 19. Setting the screen timeout to 10 minutes fixed it, no problems after that and I just set it back when I'm done.

My screen never shut off when I used flashfire. So I'm not sure. Could be something in flashfire being it was made for the s4. Not the prepaid variant. So maybe some code in it is different in the postpaid. Who knows

Ah, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure my screen would shut off and then reboot shortly afterward as if it finished properly. I also just remembered that flashfire used to rearrange the order that the operations were added and would move the wipe toward the bottom of the list, usually after the flash. I would double check that the order is correct before starting if you haven't already. Those two were the only problems I had. Hope those tips help in some way.

Well far as I know I'm using the up to date version which is .24. I haven't had the screen off issue or the rearranging problem. Flashfire showed what it was doing and what order it did it in. Everytime I used it, if the screen went black, it would say rebooting...after all was finished. So maybe the version you had was just buggy which the dev did say its a work in progress. Stuff like that, I'd be surprised if they got it to work perfectly with no bugs

I am more then willing to test any roms out as well. My new Galaxy S4 prepaid is only for tethering on my unlimited data, so I need a rom that I can install Xposed Framework on. Any rom that comes out and needs testing for OH7 based phones, I am onboard with.

Well I am looking to install xposed as well but we gotta wait for the dev to have free time to rebuild a rom to the oh7. Well at least he has two people willing to test now for him. How did you get unlimited data with Verizon? They so stingy with data
Sorry been busy. Will build it tonight. Already deodexed. Just got to build it. If all you doing is using it for a hot spot why waste time building a rom for it. Dl a app and use your hot spot. I use foxfi on my s7 edge. Works np.
Let me know. Thought this was for people to actually use.

Black screen means the order was incorrect and wipe was moved to the end.

I'm not looking to use it for the hotspot. I already can use it without any problems. I'm just wanting a custom rom/modded stock rom, I hate full stock and I love being deodexed. I'm sure more people will use your rom once they discover it.
If you believe that flashfire moved the order around, what can I do to stop that? The log in it says what it's doing and it says it's going in correct order so im not sure. Ive been using v24 which is latest I think

Flash Fire moves it on its own right before you flash. You have to press and hold wipe and drag it to the top. It does this a lot. Pain in the arse. Ok I'll build it then just wasn't sure

I did that cause it put it at the bottom at default. I moved it to the top but still got same outcome. Maybe it's something to do with the kernel an bootloader bring different? That's my guess

Well I tried out your ultra note5 and non mdk one. I believe the ultra note wouldn't show the boot animation and cut off booting sound after a second then did nothing. The other one which was the non mdk one, didn't show boot animation but made the Samsung sound correctly but after booting into the system like ten minutes later of waiting, I get a pop up of system is not responding. If I ignore it an let it load another ten minutes or so, the setup wizard opens but if I hit wait or close on the system not responding box, it all closes and goes to black screen again and just repeats
