Root [MetroPCS] [CONFIRMED WORKING] [ODIN] MetroPCS - M919N (UVUAMF2) STOCK ODIN Flashable

[Exel]

Hey there,

I know some people have been requesting this for quite some time! This couldn't have been possible without techguy1214 so a huge thanks goes out to him!

This is the absolute STOCK M919N Firmware. (THIS IS NOT ROOTED!)

EXPERIMENTAL: This is UNTESTED by me, I compiled this ODIN tar file using the same structure the T-Mobile ODIN File has. I do not have the MetroPCS version of this phone, I have the T-Mobile version. But I figured enough people wanted it so I would try to make it happen.

CONFIRMED WORKING!

I will not be help responsible if you brick your device or flash this incorrectly and your phone ends up blowing up. You have been warned.

NOTE: Because this is not officially signed by Samsung, I believe your flash counter will go up, use Triangle Away to reset your counter!

Download the TAR file: https:// copy[.]com/lyMNNbzjaNYm

Remove the space in front of copy and the [] from the dot in the link as I can't post links yet.

Downloading. Will post results. Thank you.
Edit: Do not work, Odin crashes when starting to flash.

Any news? Is this working or isnt it?

 

[danyvw]

The firmware never worked. Downloaded twice, tried to install many times with the same error.

 

[ARocker]

Too bad
This would have been good for us.

Hey Exel, thanks for trying. I see that the OP says Confirmed Working and Experimental is crossed out. Who tried it and got it working? Anyone in this forum?

 

[djlucklu]

somebody says it works over at XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446497 .. ANYBODY ESLE?

 

[danyvw]

The user at xda is the same mentioned in the OP.

I think I wrote "MENTIONED IN THE OP" Not OP creator.

""I know some people have been requesting this for quite some time! This couldn't have been possible without techguy1214 so a huge thanks goes out to him!""

.......thechguy is the same user saying it works at xda forum

I'm not saying it does not work for him, in my phone does not as I said before after two different downloads and 6 flash intents, and is not Odin related because I flash with it almost everyday. Right now I have an original MetroPCS S4 with T-Mobile M919UVUAMDL Firmware and Baseband. Maybe is a bad upload?????

Yea, looks like techguy provided Excel the files from the phone and also tested it after it was uploladed.

The <ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth) error seems to say its an authentication issue. Could be a bad download, upload, or the original file was corrupt from the beginning. Perhaps you can check the md5 checksum of the tar? I didn't download it and wont be able to for a few weeks (i think) as I dropped mine and broke the screen yesterday

The S4 didnt take the beating the S3 did

Why dont you post the error you got on the xda thread danyvw...He may check that thread more often.

Update: as I said before I had to install T-Mobile firmware in my Metro GS4 and was trying to go back to metro stock but I got the same error many times with two different downloads and many flashing intents then decided to extract all files from the OP .tar, repacked modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin in modem.tar and NON-HLOS.tar using Cygwin, flashed both files using Mobile Odin (which works flawlessly with the T-Mobile firmware) from that I got a UVUAMDL firmware with UVUAMF2 Baseband device, using TWRP restored the first stock backup I did of my Metro GS4. Result: A complete stock MetroPCS GS4 (rooted of course)

ARocker: Sorry for your loss brother.

 

[ARocker]

Glad you got yours back to 100% man.

As for mine...it was a perfect "corner of the phone" drop. I couldn't have hit it any better if I had tried to. Ive had busted screens on phones before where you can still see some stuff and still kind of use it...not this time tho. Thanks for the sympathy btw

Damn bro that sucks you got insurance right?

 

[danyvw]

I hope you have warranty ARocker (LOL I didn't bought it) price of GS4 LCD and Digitizer is around $250. Gorilla or not when they want to brake they brake for sure.

 

[ARocker]

Sucks...I dont think I do...I'm not sure. I'll have to call metro and find out...oh wait...I cant call Metro

I'm gonna have to get another phone to use in the meantime. Thinking about the new S3 Metro has that uses Tmo GSM network (SGH-T999N) its a blue one . Should have never given my old S3 away.

...price of GS4 LCD and Digitizer is around $250. Gorilla or not when they want to brake they brake for sure.

I think the digitizer is working as I can hear it unlock when I slide and stuff but i cant tell 100% cause I cant see anything. I'll probably end up needing to get both, thanks for the heads up on the pain BTW front glass is fine

I'm gonna stop hijacking this thread now

 

[nuttmeg]

I'm going to try this, and post back.

Arocker hope metro will let you get another device, I know that feeling when you break something expensive.

Try assurion if you have insurance.


Update: This tar didnt work.

 

[Exel]

Sorry for the late reply guys, for some reason the .tar file apparently got messed up from the upload.

Looks like someone else on here got it working now.

But yeah, I'm not techguy, I'm Exel over at xda.
