I had been running cwm on my i7337m s4 and decided to change to twrp because I was having problems flashing cm11
twrp did not work to flash cm11 either so i decided to go back to cwm using the app. I tried to boot into cwm recovery using the app but each time it went back to twrp recovery. So I thought I could use mobile odin pro to flash the cwm .tar file. When i tried to flash cwm using mobile odin my phone soft bricked. I think it's a soft brick at least, I can get into download (odin) mode but not into any recovery mode. I know how to fix a soft brick using pc odin but for some reason my s4 will not connect to my pc. I don't believe it is a driver issue as I have other s4's and s3's that will connect. I use the same cord and same usb port but have tried changing them.
Any advice is appreciated
Edit~
I tried connecting to another computer and still nothing. Both computers recognize my other s4 and s3

My sim card wasnt working and to fix that i decided to format my phone by flashing Stock ROM using Odin [I had root], running on Cyanogenmod. While doing so, it was taking a hell lot of time and I didnt know what to do, so i pulled the cable and restarted the phone and this message came on: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
So i did that using kies, followed the procedure..downloaded the firmware to the computer, blah blah, but while "transferring that to the mobile phone" procedure, it got stuck at 0% and for hours it wont move!!
I tried using Odin again, but it just dont work!!
Please help me!!..I cant even go to my phone now..my (Home + Power button + Volume down) is accessible, but not recovery.
Hi,
Asking here in this help thread in your device section would be best,

A couple ideas too.... Try a different version of Odin. Also, Odin usually fails if Kies is running. End all kies processes in the task manager on the pc. Try a different cable and USB port on your PC. And forget kies, it won't work if your rooted or are not completely stock.
Again, for more help, ask in the thread I linked above.
Good luck!

Is there any modified recovery I can flash form ODIN/Heimdall and that will boot into itself by default? Device is I9300.
Short version of problem: Stuck in bootloop, no way to enter recovery. Flashing stock ROM = still bootloop.
Long: After downgrading BlissPop 5.1.1 to an earlier version I got into a bootloop (due to not wiping everything that I should have properly).
Was rooted and had CWM recovery.
Flashed stock ROM 4.3 (NEE-I9300XXEMG4-20130809155048). But now I have bootloop with this ROM instead. Flashed again, same thing. Flashed an earlier version. Also flashed the original 4.0.4. Waited 10 minutes more with every bootloop, pulled battery.
Can't enter recovery to wipe due to power switch beeing physically scraped off from the logic board. Cell phone repair guy could not solder on a new power switch, nor was he able to put electrical current into it by a cable. So repairing is out of the question.
Found some info about how to enter download mode and from there get into recovery by pressing button combination, this does not work for me.
I can get into download mode by using USB JIg. I can also start the device by inserting it and removing after 1-2 seconds.
Is there an alternative way to perform a wipe? How do I get out of this mess?
Doesn't ODIN performed a wipe when flashing stock ROM?
How do I take Blisspop and make it flashable from ODIN?
Hi there,
You must ask in the dedicated forum for this device, but first you must see what exactly model of S3:
Here is general forum for Q&A dedicated to Galaxy S3 I9300/9305:
> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Or ask directly in this thread: [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S3 Ask any question.
Good luck
I tried flashing a rom using Safestrap (obviously didn't read into everything enough :/ ) So I seem to have hard bricked my device. I have no recovery, I either turn it on and get stuck at the samsung note 3 logo or the Odin Downloader. I've tried flashing the stock rom using Odin and it gets stuck on oboot (or something?) and doesn't move. I'm assuming because USB Debugging isn't on because I can't turn it on since there's no ROM installed? lmao.. Any help appreciated.
