My phone was rooted then it updated to the 4.3 and when i reset it because the galaxy play store was not working i tried to re root it and it got stuck on a screen upon boot that says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. But when i go into Kies it just tries to connect and does't not recognize my phone. I need help on what to do please, I have tried everything.

Sorry, should have read a bit closer. I was going to recommend that you use CWM to flash ROMs back but you don't have the i9295. Where did you purchase it from? I'm from Australia, so I'm not sure about the US, but I think I've read in other threads that some Best Buys(?) have Samsung stores in them that have reflashed the stock firmware free of charge without actually checking your warranty. Maybe you want to look into this?

The problem with your S4A is that it has a locked bootloader, so you can't flash firmware yourself, sorry!

If you don't want to go to Best Buy right away you can try flashing the firmware yourself.

If you took the official OTA for 4.3, ML2, there is no known root exploit available. Odin is easy to flash with - there are 1 clicks that do all the hard work for you, all you have to do is put your phone into download mode and the app does the rest on your PC. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed. Best way I found was to download the software suite from Samsung for the phone. Without the proper drivers Odin won't see the phone (I found this out the hard way.)

No worries, I heard they were pretty good in the US. Remember though, you can't root it on 4.3 (yet). If they've set it back to 4.2.2 then you can root again and not update to 4.3. If they've set it to 4.3 then either you will have to follow @Devo7v's instruction to flash back or wait it out as a root method is currently being worked on.

Download the full ML2 Odin, check the MD5 to make sure you didn't get a corrupted download. MAKE SURE all the files are in the right place in Odin and flash away. It should put the stock firmware back on the phone. Then you can proceed from there.

The MD5 is sort of like the fingerprint for the file, so you need the MD5 of the file you downloaded to match the MD5 that was posted in the thread. Download WinMD5Sum from the website here. Under File Name load the ML2 Odin zip package that you downloaded. WinMD5Sum will generate the MD5 of the file you downloaded and you can compare that to the MD5 the uploader posted in the thread. If the MD5's match then that means you downloaded exactly what was posted. If the MD5's don't match exactly, then you have a corrupted download and need to download it again.

Hello xda developers
I am wondering if someone can answer a few questions i have about rooting my samsung note?
I'm in Australia and just got my note with vodafone on Saturday. I have been doing some searching in the dev section and I haven't found my kernel version (2.6.35.7-N7000BDULB3-CL977082) to download from dr.ketan I have also searched for it on sammobile.com with no luck also.
So from the above statement does anyone know where i can get a copy of it from or know how i can backup mine from my phone atm?
I have found a root solution however It is for the GT-N7000 model which is at rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-method-2odinheimdall
If I followed this above method would I end up bricking the phone as the phone version are different? I found nothing on a search when comparing the two
Sorry for an the essay of a post too.
Looks like you're the only guy in the whole wide world with the exotic N7000BDULB3 GB, mate.
https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=N7000BDULB3&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Anyway, you can always flash and root and older Rom, then upgrade to whatever you want whilst keeping your root. Here's a little guide to downgrading and rooting I wrote some time ago, hope it helps.
You'll have a rooted KK9 rom after you're done. Then you can download any new GB version (LC1 is the latest) from here and flash it with Mobile Odin, with Everroot and Inject Superuser options ticked. That will keep your root.
Good luck.

Thanks so much, and your posts are one of the easiest to follow and gives a great head start for noobs! Great Job really!
I used this method and now I see a yellow triangle.
1. Will this yellow triangle during boot up, disappear if I follow your unroot method?
2. Will my phone can be updated to ICS once Samsung officially provides upgrade to ICS for Galaxy Note?
3. I tried SetCPU, the phone became very hot, when I over clocked and it just hang. I brought it back to normal.
4. What are all the other useful, important things we can do after root, other than installing Titanium Backup etc.

With the KKA firmware when extracted I get the 2 files like you said the .tar.md5 and the dll file.
In odin do i just select the .tar.md5 file under the pda option? or do i have to put the dll file in an option as well.

Do you have Sammy drivers installed on your PC? This is important. From Dr Ketan's guide:
"Install Kies on your computer, connect your phone and make sure that all the drivers installed correctly."

Mum, help us, we're stuck here!
Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance
You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.
I'm requesting someone find the Odin files to flash to an i537 model for KitKat 4.4.2, as I can't find it anywhere. If I can't, I'll go to Samsung at Best Buy and uh..... Ask for the Odin files(they use Odin there XD)
Please help as ODIN is the only way I have been able to update, OTAs fail and recovery install from cache, external SD fails. Everything but Odin fails, so anybody help?

SGH-i537 AT&T running 4.3 Official Unrooted Stock

Considering we never got the Odin files for MF2 or MF3, we may never get Odin files for NC9.
Just do a hard reset (VOL+/HOME/POWER), boot your phone then do a Factory reset from within the phone with selecting format SD card option (back your stuff up!). Then go back, enable USB debugging and flash the stock ML2 firmware EXCEPT for the BL file! then re-enable USB debugging and download the 2400258.cfg file from here, rename it to update.zip and flash it via stock recovery, problem solved. As for the ODIN files, here's a good read on why @Devo7v is right with his assessment on not ever seeing them. More info on the stock SGH-i537 firmware here.

How are you forcing the update through Odin? We don't have the Odin files for 4.4.2, so I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean you can only flash the 4.3 files with Odin and you cannot get the cfg file to flash through stock recovery?

Did you check the MD5 to make sure that it downloaded properly? My suggestion would be to download it with a computer, rename it to "update.zip" on a computer, copy it to your internal memory on the phone, and flash it through stock recovery. This should work, what errors do you get when you try to flash it? You're on stock 4.3 when you try to update, correct? In order to flash the OTA you cannot be rooted or have modified the system in any way.

Good advice and I'll further add make sure when you rename the 2400258.cfg that you have known file extensions enabled and then right click and highlight the entire file "2400258.cfg" and then rename that to "update.zip"
Trust us, this will work.

Yeah, I tried that. I tried everything, literally everything. Like Samsung told me they couldn't help me unless I sent it in. (Probably just send a replacement or do a full reset with a new partition and data)

I'm almost positive you're doing something wrong since you're the only one that is having this problem. I know @jkeuclid has already walked one person through this process step-by-step, I don't want to speak for him but he'd probably be willing to do the same for you.

Thank you. UPDATE-
I checked, my Baseband version and Build Number don't match.... MF1 vs. ML2. So that could be presenting some of the problem. I'm going to try to find a partition file for stick 4.3 then rehash everything through ODIN and attempt an update. Any other suggestions anyone?

Did you ever figured this out? I'm having the same issue. Can't update using the cfg file.
Just my quess but the OP and others in this thread have possibly problem understanding relationship of Odin with Stock Recovery
If your phone is stock 4.3 and you have the 444 MB update renamed to update.zip already moved over to microSD card.....
See if this little video helps you

I'm requesting someone find the Odin files to flash to an i537 model for KitKat 4.4.2, as I can't find it anywhere. If I can't, I'll go to Samsung at Best Buy and uh..... Ask for the Odin files(they use Odin there XD)
Please help as ODIN is the only way I have been able to update, OTAs fail and recovery install from cache, external SD fails. Everything but Odin fails, so anybody help?

SGH-i537 AT&T running 4.3 Official Unrooted Stock

Please I need your help, I was trying to upgrade to 4.4 from 4.3 ML2, on i537, but when i did, I lost my wifi and camera and media, (I mean , I cant play any song, show me a message that cant play, "File not Suppoted') anyways, the help that I need is if you can help me with your stock rom, so I can flash my phone with your files, please. Im downgrade to 4.3 again and I used one backup that I did before upgrade, but still not work wifi and media, I already flashed the moden.bin from xda to fix wifi, but still not work, I want to try to flash a Real stock rom, and see what happen, cause Im very stress...
Help me out guys i really need save my phone.
i have been trying to update my 2.3.6 to 4.3 (Jellybean) through Odin since I always got some weird stopping at 69% on Kies, but i seemed to fail on odin, Odin was failing to do it so i tried other odin ver and got stuck on the ''NAND Write Start'' thing, i exited odin and then tried something else i'm very stupid so i used a pit for the wrong version of my android to..help in whatever it was i dont remember, together with the ROM.
i didn't check if my phone was aleadry bricked after i force closed odin in patching in the first time so i don't know the root of the problem.
and i don't know if this is Soft or full brick but i get stuck at Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue, Kies does not help in it when i type the cellphone info into that option, it gives me a error so no way through kies. i didn't do any way yet to try to save it i'm really unsure what to do i checked really a bunch of different posts so its really confusing, i really get in panic when stuff like this happens so forgive me, i hope anyone can help in somehow, also, if better i need to save it in a way without having to wipe my stuff because most of my apps data are in the phone, but i dont mind if theres no other way than using wiping in one of the steps.
i don't really know how to follow if you link me over a thread so its better if you post the explanation here.

You must do factory reset when you go from GB to JB. That is why you get a bootloop probably.
So to make it short situations is like this:
1. You had problem with Kies
2. Tried with Odin and got force close of odin in Windows?
3. Retry with Kies with same ending
So what Windows do you use? Do you use 8? I read some had problem with Odin and 8.x. Did you use Odin 3.0.x?

Yeah, forced closed odin 2 times, kies like stopped and disconnected everything on 69% leaving only the android on downloading screen but that didnt brick it, i use windows 7, odin 3.09 only gave me fails so i used 3.07 where it got stuck on nand thing.
also, any ways to backup things even though the thing is bricked? i can go to download mode fine and i think i can go into recovery too (never tried it on this phone)

Your internal data (on internal SD) will be there, but Factory reset will delete your apps and its data.
Or try to flash GB with ODIN and see what happens.

It is probably soft, you can go to Odin. Way to unbrick it is to flash stock firmware with Odin - like you did. Find GB firmware and flash it with odin like you did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
If your phone is I9070 then use firmware for I9070, if it is I9070P use I9070P firmware. If you miss this you will hardbrick phone, and not be able to use Download mode.
And do not use Hong Kong firmware.
sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com are sites where you can find firmwares.
You were on custom ROM when you did update with Kies?

I am not 100% sure about that. Maybe try other ODIN versions. But I used 3.0.7 without problem. Search for nand write problem to see what is it about.
P.S. Redownlaod firmware maybe, is it the same size as shown on the page when you started download?

Yeah um it was, as i said Odin 3.09 only failed while 3.07 got stuck in nando. isnt there someone that knows about that nando thing? i readed alot but i dont think i can really find a good answer.
alright so, downloaded a 2.3.6 firmware, i download which odin? i do need download that ''odin tools'' from that link you linked me ? because it has a very old ver of odin but skipping that it has a PIT file that i dont really know what it is for.

I am not sure if that method formats internal storage. And if you get adb shell you could do it with command or with total commander with adb plugin (for that go to my profile, to all threads I started and you will see one about it).

Odin. Like you did now, just with JB firmware for your I9070 model (P or non P, if you miss that you will hard brick, for example if you flash P firmware on non P phone, and otherwise).
Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
Simple as - put firmware in PDA, hit flash. And check if you have unchecked/checked as it is written there.
Probably Kies was the problem, because that nand write error. He messed up, and now this fixed it.

Full ODIN stock ATT files.
Download one file, unzip to 4 files, put in ODIN and flash.
I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong. You don't need to be on certain baseband to flash this, you can flash this directly from any baseband version to this.

Thanks you repaired my phone !
This worked for my phone but now im getting an error with my recovery menu saying it doesn't exist. I saw an earlier post with the same problem.
I bought this phone used and now its saying that i am not the original account signed in to the phone. I took it to the 2nd hand shop i bought it from and they want to charge me money to fix the problem when i remember signing in first thing to the phone. Im not to savi with these things but did installing this firmware change my user data?
