Hey guys its been a long while since i posted ive been doing pretty good on my own, until today.
I need so help on a SHG-M919
tried rooting it and had problems with samsung KNOX blocking su so i wasnt fully rooted, i tried a couple other things like kingo app and motochopper still a no go.
I think my problem started when i did the update to 4.3 b4 i rooted it, i figured ill just flash it back to 4.2 and i would be good. WRONG
Now im softed bricked, i cant get in to recovery mode only download mode (odin mode). When i use odin the flash fails every time. so now i look at the phone while in odin mode i see that write protection is enabled. what do i do so i can write or flash to the system files. The galaxy s3 wasn't even this difficult.
Once you are on 4.3 KNOX, you can not downgrade to earlier bootloaders like 4.2. Go into download mode, odin flash a stock 4.3 recovery, and you will no longer be bricked. Then flash CF Auto Root (look for the threads in xda, lots of links). You will be in 4.3 with root. Hope that helps.

The stock 4.3 ROM can be obtained at:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-M919&details=Galaxy_S_4_T-MOBILE
Not much you can do about how long it takes. It takes what it takes and sometimes requires multiple attempts to get a successful download.

Just put it in Odin/flash in CWM depending on which you picked. If you Odin, I think you have to put the recovery.bin in the Phone slot, or you can just put the tar in either slot.

You cant let it boot. Booting reinstalls the android recovery. Maybe, have battery out, then try booting with the 5 finger combo, or uncheck reboot in odin.

The CWM files are in this thread:

Here are instructions to properly root your phone by flashing clockwork mod via download mode:

Then you will want to boot into recovery and install whatever ROM you want from the SD Card using the recovery mode.

Odin tars are .tar.md5 or .tar. its not a signature check, but if flashing that doesn't work, delete .md5.

Okay I end up following your advice on putting on the phone slot and not the PDA Odin did its thing I got the green pass message. Did as the instructions said on the YOUTUBE video ,got to the reboot screen after doing the 3 button thing only theres no Clockwork thing poping up just the same old Android system recovery screen 3e
oh and thank you for responding ive been going crazy going through all these instructions im on hour number 5 here
WAIT A Sec ok Im in the SDcard screen went to the FC09-BML File but its not asking me to install it just opens up to the files in it.Was I supposed to install this file as a zip file and not extract it? And if so what do I now which file do I go to?
So I was running Slimbean 6.2 weekly with ktoonez 6.8 kernel and decided to go into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.3) to fix permissions and clear cache since I was having some battery drain issues. After I hit fix permissions it started to do so and then all of a sudden my phone rebooted and gets stuck at the splash screen. Went back into recovery to try and fix permissions again same thing happens. Tried clearing cache and doing a normal reboot still stuck at splash screen. I tried doing a factory reset but it keeps rebooting right when it gets to formatting data. So essentially I can do anything aside from format data so I am guessing there's some corrupt file there that's keeping me from formatting it. I've tried installing different ROM's that I have on my SD card but they always get stuck at the splash screen. Doing a restore doesn't work as once it gets to restoring data the phone reboots. I checked report error or something along those lines in CWM Advanced and it said can't format /emmc which I'm not sure what that means.
I've looked around but haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Ok go into CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. Then flash any rom which you have on your phone storage. Does this work?

You never mentioned you started over by installing 4.1.2 Stock and then tried flashing ROM again, only that you went into recovery numerous times. Download Mode and Odin to Stock is what I was getting at. Then... Flashing 4.2.2

Even better, download one of the Odin 1-clicks. Connect your phone, open the 1-click and stand back while it does its magic.

I installed the OTA update and then Odin TWRP and then flashed super SU. Root is working just fine for me and still sticking after reboots.
You installed the latest security update OTA (190mb) and then Odin TWRP? It didn't seem to affect my installation of TWRP or at least I was able to get into recovery as before. Install SuperSU as before with no errors. Reboot and no root or SuperSU. May have to do a complete reinstall tonight. Glad to know root can still work after this little update.
Solved: installing the latest SuperSU 2.71 worked without a hitch, root restored

Hey, this is the forum is all about.
I did want to ask only in koops thread, but well, not much answer there. So i ask only once again here, definitely not every thread available.
Moreover, everyone's phone could have its own issues, which need troubleshoots. Not all are the same.
I have installed twrp so many times for so many phones, so that i know that might be something else.
Im using twrp 3.0.2-0 in koops thread on pd2 well, but it didnt work on pd3. So what might be wrong here?

I've had this issue everywhere tho. It does seem to be related to switching from 3G to LTE. But I can't say for certain that each and every time it dropped, that when it came back it was a different service.

I tried using Samsung Kies & Smart Switch to reload software with no luck. I even tried downloading from Sammobile and any other roms that were compatible with my model to try and regain LTE. Any help would be appreciated!

I flashed my T-Mobile Tab S 10.5 with custom roms and the LTE didn't work so I tried flashing to stock but now it prompts with
"Security Error This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost."

With the stock rom it gives me. "Security Error This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost."
With custom roms it just wont find any signal from tmobile and say theres no sim in the device.

Get a Linux VM and convert the tar into a flashable zip, then flash that.
EDIT: I can do it if you like

Will do. Firmware download is very slow from sammobile so may be a little while.

Thanks but I should hopefully have it done tonight
@P5King I need something from you.
What version of TWRP are you using? The build for T805?

No need. I have compiled twrp with factory firmware flashing support.
Just flash the system.img from the stock firmware using Twrp.

He's been trying thru Odin which is essentially the same thing in terms of flashing so maybe the zip will work better idk

It's not. Twrp doesn't communicate with the bootloader like odin does.
@P5King How'd it go? Did it succeed?
