I have had this phone in its current (bricked) state for about a year now. When it first happened, AT&T convinced me to get a replacement... hence me not having fixed this yet. That phone was stolen, and i really need to get this one to work now.

It has been awhile since i originally bricked it so i will try to remember exactly what happened. I was trying to root it, pretty soon after the S4 was released. At the time i was rushing it and ended up deleting the OS completely. I can get into ODIN download mode, but that is about all. I have tried installing a recovery, but it doesn't seem to work. It does not fail, but it is impossible to boot into.

Every other thing i have tried to flash on ODIN has failed.

Anyway, on to some specifics.

At the ODIN download screen:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0xfffffffc
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0xfffffffc
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
START [224, 1440]
BAR [240, 1440]


after attempting some flashes, it also says "check fail fused : 5 binary : 4"



The screen that it boots to without holding any volume buttons pictures a phone, a warning triangle, and a computer monitor. It says basically the same stuff in the top left, and below the picture it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies a& try again."

I have tried with Kies btw, no dice.

I was an idiot when i did this, but i have heard from people that if i can get to download mode there is a way to fix it.

I should also mention, I have gone to best buy multiple times. None of the various samsung people that have been there will fix it. One of them seemed like he tried to but as soon as it said "fused" that was it.

I have tried various solutions such as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2621279

I have been on here for ages, but this is my first, or one of my first posts. I hope someone out there can throw me a lifeline!
