aandrichaci · Jan 11, 2014

I have a AT&T galaxy s4 SGH-I337 that i bricked. i was trying to install cyanogenmod 11 but i accidently flashed the zip to the stock. the operation failed and now i cant boot to the stock. i can boot into download mode and recovery. im using safestrap 7 as my recovery, but i dont think it is working properly. i need help asap thanks

What firmware did your device have installed? MF3, MK2? You'll have to use odin if on MF3, or the mk2 unbreakable zip if you're on mk2.

There's only safestrap 3.65 and 3.71. In the future read more, because safestrap is only capable of running touchwiz roms, not cyanogenmod. This has to do with the kernel. Now that you flashed to stock slot your recovery is borked. Do what he said above.

There you go. If you had 4.3 mk2 you should be able to recover.

Copy it to the root of your SD card. Reboot into recovery mode (tutorials are out there) and apply update.zip

I have about the same problem. I recently rooted my phone then downloaded a root required app. After the download, it made me reboot and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with stock recovery mode and download mode. I've tried everything I can since I'm limited to only using a mac. Please help ASAP. Thanks.
