[GUIDE] How to Unbrick your AT&T S4 I337 OTA UCUAMF3
- Thread starter nkhater
- Start date
well like everyone else, rooted ... updated without knowing... rerooted with MF3. Didn't read the warnings... ran GooManager - script recovery.
Then... I did something really stupid. Ran Chainfire3D without thinking about compatibility issues. Installed- automatic reboot. Stuck on AT&T logo.
I tried to use your pit method... didn't work. Is there a way to wipe cache in ODIN.
Thanks in advance....
Dude, your way hosed. Look into jtag it may or may not work but at this point it's your only hope.
Do you know where the is stored. Graphics... at this point maybe I can flash a rom on and see what happens. What you think?
I need some help also. I was trying to unlock an I337 through NsPro, which I didn't know was incompatible with the new software. I needed root, so I tried Motochopper, and it failed to root. So, without checking, I tried downgrading the device with Odin. Odin failed, so I then tried downgrading with NsPro. That failed also.
The phone will factory reset in recovery, but fails on cache. And no matter how many times I do that, after I complete setup, the phone gets this notification that some unauthorized software is trying to do something on the phone and it asks me to reboot for safety. On top of that, none of the apps work. If you dial a number, the phone will freeze up. I've tried doing an emergency recovery through Kies, which fails also. And I flashed the PIT file in Odin, and it didn't do much really.
Any suggestions for me?? Thanks in advance.

Is there some sort of zip package I can try in recovery?

no, you've already done every possible thing to muck up your phone that I can think of. You're hosed and just making it worse.
Have you tried using Kies, make sure your phone is in Download MODE

I tried Kies... but can't get my cell to connect to it. I tried both Download MODE and to the point to where my cell get stuck on the boot. I un-installed Kies and re-installed it, just to make sure everything is good. I am however getting MTP USB driver not found. I downloaded the driver from online and still doesn't work. I'm going to try another computer when I get a chance. Hoping I get connected.
Yes, I've already tried that. I tried regular mode (where you type the serial) and it failed, and emergency mode failed as well.
But the customer just got the phone replaced by the Samsung rep at the Best Buy store, for $150.

I don't know what the hell Samsung is doing to even block a recovery, that is SAD
Just to be clear, downgrading to MDL using this PIT file isn't possible... right?
It will not downgrade you. It could brick you.
damn, and here I got excited over nothing. Thanks for the FYI.
This PIT file is not to be used to downgrade to any build, if you are on MF3, you are stuck for now, until someone is able to unlock the bootloader

Not true, it will not brick him, it will do nothing, he will boot normal,
