Okay, so apparently I screwed up greatly last night. I was trying to flash Android L 5.0.2 on my phone and after trying to flash it onto my device (using Safestrap) it did not work for some apparently reason (no md5) ,but before, I check summed the files if the codes matched and it did. So, I tried to restore and it failed and I accidentally pressed reboot and now I can't access Safestrap and stuck in a loop of the stock recovery mode.
It was running Kitkat 4.4.4
Safestrap 3.72
Phone: Rooted
Galaxy S4 SGH-i337
sorry for bad grammar, running sleepless atm

Hi! It seems you're in a sticky situation with the GS3, 4.4.2, root and Knox.
I found an excellent thread that has some good info about everything you've asked about. You could ask further questions there as well. But read it all very carefully!!

I have a Verizon s3 running 4.4.2 with a locked boot loader so there's no way for me to get twrp. How else can I flash cyanogenmod?

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
With a locked bootloader, everything on your device is signed. Even if you managed a tar file for CM to flash with Odin, all you will end up with is a bricked device, because the signing won't match.
At any rate, for other options, I am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found:
> Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III > Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Please note, that in order to respond to replies, you will need to register for an account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
Quoting myself from another post:
I picked up a used i535 a few months ago as a device to mod and learn. I had no intentions of using it as my daily phone - I'm on AT&T with an i747. I found it was already on the NE1 bootloader and modem, I hadn't read enough before purchasing.
I was able to root it with TowelRoot. Following that I installed BusyBox and then installed SafeStrap Recovery for devices with the NE1 bootloader, see here.
From what I have seen there are three ROMs available to this device on NE1; stock NE1, SuperLiteROM, and Paul Pizz. This thread is a good resource for all but Paul Pizz, which is here. I after installing SafeStrap I flashed SuperLiteROM to the stock slot, it seems to avoid some issues when flashed here instead of a secondary slot. Since then I have installed XPosed framework and have several mods working with no issues.

Do not attempt to flash any custom roms especially CM. It's not a possibility and probably never will be on the VZW S3

Hello everyone. I just got this samsung galaxy s3 verizon and I was looking to unlock the bootloader and install CM rom. I saw a the thread about Casual tool and I used. My phone is on 4.1.2 and Baseband of I9300XXBMF1. I followed the instructions exacrky as stated on the thread. I installed root, insecure bootlaoder and CWM in that order. After installling CMW, the phone asked to restart and I clicked continue. It went off and has not powered on since then. Please is there anything I can do?
My phone details
Baseband: I9300XXBMF1
BuildNumber: JZO54K.19300XXBMF1
AP: I9300XXBMF1
CP: I9300XXBMF1
CSC:I9300XXBMF1
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks
Maybe someone can chime in, but I think you borked partitions. Is this the international edition? I assume you can use
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
BUT IF U HAVE INTL EDITION YOU NEED a international debrick image or a full odin restore file. By full I mean when looking inside w/ 7zip you will see sbl1, 2. The bootchain is what you need. You can download multiple versions and look inside them. I had a similar incident years ago, and back then no debrick images. All the info is scattered about the forum. I got a 16gb spare card & dd (careful Its oftentimes called disk destroyer) image to card, then put into phone, turned on & booted. Once it works hold buttons for dl mode & reflash. There is a better guide elsewhere possibly ATT section, that link was the first.
#2 If you can still reach download mode? You may be able to odin back with a .pit file & correct image. checking repartition & load image & pit.

Can you verify that your phone is I9300 on the sticker behind the battery? When you flashed the recovery.IMG was it for i9300 and what method did you use to flash it?
Are you sure casual worked to unlock the bootloader? Flashing recovery on locked bootloader never goes well.

I used the Casual app to do everything and it got bricked. I followed the instruction on another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 about unbricking using a sd card and my phone only responded to the 4.4.2. I flashed the 4.4.2 stock rom and it is now working, though I am now stuck with a locked bootloader. Thanks for the response, I was beginning to think no one would respond.
The phone is working well now, but it is not responding to test codes like *#06# (for IMEI) or even *#*#1234#*#*. Do you have any idea on what might be wrong?
Thanks
I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 G920A and I Tried to downgrade to 5.1.1 firmware. After flashing with odin it gets stuck at the Samsung boot screen. It will not enter recovery. I can only enter odin mode. I can only assume that marshmallow has locked in the bootloader so it cannot be downgraded. I recently found out you can unlock it but I do not have a way to as long as I cannot boot the phone. The only thing I can think of is to get a flashable, threw odin for the marshmallow firmware but I cannot find it online anywhere. If there is anyone who knows how to make one or has one already that can be uploaded, I would love to fix my softbricked phone.
