Root [Verizon] Unroot Factory Reset VRUAME7 Verizon S4 Odin Failed. Stuck on Yellow Exclamation!

Dreamliner

Android Enthusiast
I rooted on VRUAME7 I am now trying to do a reset/restore. When I did a factory reset in the system, it rebooted and is now stuck on a yellow exclamation mark and says:

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recover mode in Kies & try again."

I downloaded the Stock Restore and followed a guide to restore using Odin.

Odin Failed and says:

Phone says:

SW REV. CHECK FAIL: FOUND: 3, Binary: 1

Questions:

1.)How to I charge it (connecting to charger after battery pull immediately starts the phone and pulls up the Yellow Exclamation.)?

2.)How do I unroot and restore this back to factory?

FIXED!
I flashed this ME7 image via Odin found on this thread.

Thanks!
 
you can force it to turn off by taking off the battery, but if you charge it, it'll turn on... sorry i can't help you with with unroot restore... would've told you to follow the link which you did do.
 
I am having the same exact issue as the original poster. I have tried many things including what he said fixed his. I downloaded Odin and it came with 6 folders with an executable inside each one. They are v1.83, v1.85, v3.04, v3.06, v3.07 and c3.09. When running v3.09 it will reference a com port but does not change colors like I have read it should. When running v1.83 it turns yellow. But either way the result is the same.

I have rooted my Note 2 and my old Thuderbolt and they were simple... this is making me nervous that I have bricked my wife's phone.
