:( Hi guys, I'm new to this site. I have a specific problem that I can't seem to find the answer for.
My phone: At&t Samsung Galaxy S4 (I made a typo in the title... :()
Model: SGH-I337


I had MF3 version/4.2.2
I used various threads to eventually root my phone.
I was very happy.
I had to use safestrap
I was happy with safestrap
I had my stock in the stock rom slot
I had [ROM] Google Edition 4.3 [Clean][Deodex][276MB][2013.11.21] in first slot.
I was very happy with it.
Here is the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47718525#post47718525
I made a stupid move when I was finally done, I had my phone rooted, I had everything I needed, but it wasn't enough...
I did something in the mount options area in safestrap.. switched my sd to internal memory
My phone has been in a boot loop ever since on Samsung Image
I had Slot 1 active when this happened.
When I'm in recovery mode, all the options, including wipe data/factory reset doesn't work
I tried using a pit file in Odin to fix/failed
I tried using Odin 3.09 with stock firmware I found in some threads to try and get factory/failed
I get this in Odin along with fail "All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
I really want to fix my phone.
Preferably I would like it to stay as mf3
Does anyone have a solution?
A link to a thread I missed?
Something more recent?
I also tried Kies, but it was giving me trouble, I'll try it again as a last resort.
I hope there's a solution.

hoorah!

The solution. FINALLY.
The file order goes like this...
AP gets the biggest file size
The one that starts with Base Loader goes in BL
The one that starts with CSC goes in CSC
The last one goes in CP
[solved] happy

Joey, thanks for the resources as there are so many broken links out there.

I'm having the same issue; however, I'm finding very little success flashing with Odin to return back to stock.

Following the same steps you've outlined above, I receive a the following from Odin:
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

and the following from the prompt on the S4 screen:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4, Binary : 2

I've tried multiple prescribed methods, including the one you outlined, using Kies, and using nkhater's method for Unbricking I337 posted here.

I'm not entirely sure what steps to take next but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4, Binary : 2 error means you are trying to flash an earlier version than your phone had before. You'll need to flash the same version you were using before, either MK2 or NB1. You can find the ODIN TAR files for them in the General section.

Thanks for helping that guy out,

I have a question...
What ROM would you recommend for a 4.2.2 MF3 At&t Galaxy S4 SGH-I337?
I've been using the ROM found in here.
I am new to the rooted world.
It's the first ROM I tried and I love it.
I can go a whole day with, at most, losing 25% battery life.
I love the minimalist aspects of it.
I don't know how to keep track of new ROMs for my build though.
I don't really want to change ROMs at the moment, because I have everything I need with this one,
but if you can give me some cool advice, that would be awesome.
Any help, information, would be appreciated.

-Joey
