[Q] Please help me - ICS TO GB - DO NOT WANT TO BRICKS :(

I know that this is probably another post in a series of desperate to get back to ICS for GB, but please understand me, I did not want to get my phone is a brick
I used the CheckROM NoteHD ™ V6. I tried to go to Criskelo LPY V3's ICS ICS. I restarted my phone into recovery and I flash: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip
Then I reboot and recovery (the recovery RedTouch) I did factory reset, wipe and wipe cahce Dalvik cache and then and flash Criskelo LPY V3's ICS ICS. When the flash ended (I did not have any information about errors) successfully I restarted my phone. My phone Restarted a few times and finally started to Criskelo's ICS ICS LPY V3.
But I wanted to return to the previous rom. Perhaps I did wrong, but I restarted my phone into recovery and I tried to flash again: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip (I thought that this way I can upload my copy of the rom GB) .... but after the approval of the progress bar stops, and after about two minutes, the phone reboots again it's ICS ICS Criskelo LPY V3
Just notice another problem, not sure if it is when I tried binary updating SU.

Screen was made by another user, but for me it is exactly the same.
Everything indicates that I have root - titanium works and I can copy and delete any file in the system
Now the question:
How should I go back to GB (whether it is better not to do it?). Please help me what should I do step by step?

Don't panic mate!
Go into Recovery
Flash abyss 4.2 or Franco 10
FULL WIPE (factory reset,cache,davnik cache)
Restore backup or even better Flash a clean GB ROM
Edit: of course you can use PC Odin in download mode and flash a pre-rooted GB From.

Its not the "wrong way".Flash a clean Rom now,not your backup. Maybe your backup file is corrupted. If you want try Pc-Odin as I said before. Your choice...
Anyway, hope you'll figure it out.

After flashing the AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip you rebooting the phone or rebooting the recovery ?

not because the flash: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip is not succesfully -> my phone freezes during this operation, and then restarts

I sincerely fear you may have the dreaded Superbrick mate. All the symptoms are there.

He can still ODIN, right? I haven't read where he said he can't access download mode. He was just trying to do stuff in recovery. Can we confirm you can not access download mode either?

you're right, I have not written anywhere that I can not enter download mode .. but have not tried ... charge the phone at the moment - in the evening I'll be ready ....
or should I do as I wrote above - this example ROM, and my description is OK?

Okay cool, that's fairly good news because if you CAN enter download mode you are not bricked and you can ODIN a pre-rooted GB rom or a stock GB rom. If your phone will charge, let it charge up and then ODIN away.

Not sure. Can you try another ROM file on that thread? That doesn't look promising, but maybe someone else can help that knows more.

It might just have been a bad download, but the MD5 checked good it looks like so I don't know. I'd like someone else to say something to try to help.

Try repartitioning the device. To do so use simply set the right pit file in odin.

and i will move step by step in this tut as i will Root my device as well, I've Unrooted it so i can show you every step
ok, so first of all there is some files that you need to download first:
1- you must have the ADB drivers for your phone and you do that by downloading Samsung kies
just google it and you will find it
2- download this rar file here
Ok so lets get started
- After Downloading Samsung Kies connect your Phone to the pc so the Kies can detect it and install its drivers.
- grab your phone

}
( its really advisable to be fully charged, or at least 90% or so ) things can get really bad if the phone turns off while rooting :silly:
- Trun off the phone,Boot your phone in ( Download mode ) you can do that by pressing Vol (down) and Home and power key all at once, after that you should get to this screen:
just press the volume up to ignore the warning To proceed.
Then connect your phone to the pc and open Odin3 v1.85.exe from the rar(mini2.rar) that you downloaded and extracted
then press the PDA button and choose the other file called ( clockworkmod-5.0.2.8.tar.md5 )
ok, before we continue you should take care of something
if you get Exactly this screen, then you did something wrong
as you see in the rec circle Odin did NOT detect your phone
-its either not connected probably or its drivers is not installed
so make sure you check both of these things
now if you get THIS screen with Oding detecting your phone then you are ready to go
press the PDA button and load the file called ( clockworkmod-5.0.2.8.tar.md5 )
then press start,If you see pass with green background make sure you did it right
after that CLOSE, you must COLSE odin, just exit it.
Now turn off your phone again and boot it in ( REcovery mode ) you can do this by pressing both of the volume buttons and the home and power key, so basically you just press all the buttons at the same time.
as you see it will say GT7500 but its ok, :highfive:
You should get this screen
remember your phone is still connected to the pc the whole process
Now open the other file
AGAIN, if you get this kind of error ( device not found )
Then you you probably did the same thing and proceed without making sure of finishing the prev.step.
But if you did it correctly, you should see this:
it MIGHT (probably will) fail the first time, just exit and run the file again to make sure.
Then you are ready to go
now you will be automatically on the first option ( reboot system now ) just press the home key and the phone will reboot
open the app menu and you should see ( super user ) installed on your phone
to make sure you are rooted just go to the google store and search Titanum backup
install it and you will see it Require the super user request to proceed,
or you can just search for any root checker app as well
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=burrows.apps.rootchecker
many thanks to the people who find out the way to root the phone :highfive:

This is great. Thanks for posting this! Now we can feel a bit more confident playing with the phone knowing we can restore it.

After having previously flashing the 4.3 OTA I flashed this 4.3 MH1 with ODIN to try out the new radio. Everything seemed to flash fine but the phone is still showing MFD baseband.

I flashed just like the OP. I ended up flashing your 4.2.2 MFD restore, fully unrooting, locking bootloader, and then just taking the 4.3 update straight from Google over the air, settings/about/system updates. Now I have the MHL radio.
I'm not sure why my phone wouldn't take the modem but your 4.2.2 restore worked nicely. Thanks.

Yeah I am not sure why you had that issue I reflashed MH1 many times with no trouble making MH1 modem stick if I was on MFD.

Dumb questions... Do we have to put the phone in download mode? Or will Odin take care of that, also, does USB debugging need to be turned on?

Anyone has the CSC package from this firmware?
Or older firmwares?

Hi there,
Can someone explain to me why this can't be used to convert a standard i9505 into a i9505G?
I'm currently running a GE ROM on my i9505 and the phone is, for all intents and purposes now a Google Edition phone, it jas the same HW and can run the same software, so where are the limitations that stop us from flashing a package like this in Odin and getting an official i9502G with OTA support and all?

The partition layout is extremely different between the I9505/USA Variants and the I9505G, this prevents y'all using ODIN as it looks for a I9505G pit file, doesn't find one that matches, so it stops.

Hmmm...could we use a correct. pit file then?
Flash with repartition enabled? I guess we need proper GE factory restore images from Samsung, right?

It's been explored extensively already. PIT files are signed by Samsung for particular devices only.

[Help] Samsung Galaxy S4 5.0.1 SGH-I337 won't reboot properly

This is my first post so I'm sorry if I did not post this in the right place or didn't do something else regular-place to these forums. Please guide me in the right direction if I didn't. So I rooted my phone with Kinguser and then switched it to SuperSu pro using the in-app instructions ins SuperSu. My goal is to install Xposed onto my phone but part of the problem is that I have to boot and manual recovery with TWRP or something similar for Xposed to work on my S4 (specifications above). But every manual recovery app I download works up to the point I actually try to reboot. All of them can find my root access and say they install successfully, but when I hit reboot and recovery, it always goes into Odin mode (and in the top left corner of Odin mode it says cannot reboot normally). I can get out of Odin mode easily so the problem isn't that I'm stuck there. I just want to know how to proceed with reboot and recovery when every time I try it goes into Odin mode.

Easiest way is to go into download mode(Odin mode) and flash TWRP via Odin. In Odin make sure to uncheck reboot and f. reset once TWRP is flash unplug and pull the battery and reboot directly to recovery (power & volume+) once you get into TWRP it'll stay after that. Then just reboot your phone normally. Also within TWRP you can flash SuperSU.

Thanks for the response!! I found the twrp file on their website (one which is a .md5 and one which is a .img which both don't work). They would both just freeze in Odin. So I found a tool online that turns .img files to .tar file. Link to tool below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
with another thread that helped to fix the runme.bat file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42511844#post42511844
and that helped make a .tar file which doesn't freeze up Odin, but when I run the .tar file made from that tool, the manual flash using Odin runs through and fails. the Odin prompt is shown below.

Pretty much everything. I would not trust converting files like that. High potential for bricking your device.
The link I gave you is a .tar file that Odin likes. The md5 is at the top, yes, but you need the tar file just a little further down.
I linked you the latest one that is .tar. Newer versions are in .img that can be flashed in recovery.

I downloaded the .tar file you linked above and tried it and it still failed. So to be descriptive as possible the first thing I do is plug my phone (without twrp installed) into my pc. Then I turn it off. Then I try to reboot. Phone can't reboot and forwards directly to Odin mode. I download the .tar file you linked me above. I do not unzip the file. I have Odin3 v3.07 installed. I open Odin and uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I click on PDA and select the unzipped zip file for flash. Nothing is said in the message display after that and is still at.

Phone isn't bricked but it seems that the .tar file linked above isn't working as well. Is it my phone probably?? Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 5.0.1 Lollipop rooted with Kinguser and then switched over with SuperSu pro via in app instructions?

Thanks so much for all the help!! After that linked I found a bunch of conversations that helped. If you every help out with someone with the same specifications on their phone then I had there's not much I can say that can help as far as Lollipop goes. I could not find a way to get Xposed on my device as is. But if anyone really does want it, I found that if you find the right .PIT file and the stock ROM for a previous version of Android (I tried a few which all work, but I would suggest KitKat because why not) then you'll be able to do anything you want without all the heartache. After I used Odin to flash KitKat onto my device, I found that I didn't even need TWRP, Xposed installed quite nicely, and even though the layout doesn't look quite as nice as Lollipop, you can find a bunch of display modules in Xposed that fit the bill quite well.
All in all, Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 5.0.1 and want Xposed?? You're screwed. Flash KitKat.

Probably different firmware regions. Cache.img will be a different size.
Unpack the tar file with 7zip, remove the cache.img and then repack the rest of the files to tar with 7zip.

Open Developer Mode
Enter Developer Options
Find OEM unlock and tick enable.
Try upgrade again.

Maybe it's not working because your device is A510FD, from what i see in your baseband, and you try to flash A510F. In download mode what device name is showing? Also download latest samsung drivers, try with another odin version, another usb, another pc and so on.. Report here.

When the flash fails reboot the phone again in download an reconnect it to pc. Open tar.md5 file with 7zip, pull cache.img, add the image previously pulled into a .tar archive and flash it in AP tab. Reboot into stock recovery, wipe data, reboot and profit. Cheers!
Edit: at each flash uncheck "Autoreboot" in odin and reboot it manually.

I think you mean wipe CACHE. Wipe DATA will factory reset the device and wipe all personal files.

To avoid issues or bootloops is better to wipe data, and since he's playing with odin and several fw files with God knows what android version, he knows the risks. So i meant what i said.

He doesn't need to wipe DATA.
Samsung official upgrades don't usually require wiping DATA.
If it doesn't boot or there are issues afterwards then wiping DATA may fix it, but there is no need otherwise.

i think is wrong rom
