Massive problems with new cyanogenmod 10.2

Hey guys just looking for any help if at all possible.
My install has been anything but smooth. I had many issues actually getting cyanogenmod on to the phone in the first place ( seems the help out there doesn't really cover the international i9505 very well, where it does you often just hit a brick wall)
In anycase i finally got it onto the phone and was looking for an explanation as to why the phone is not detecting my carrier. I mean its just not detecting it at all. I have made some strange findings when looking through the phone. It doesn't know what baseband i'm on for example.
Now for the real problem. After all the hassle of getting CM onto the phone i decided to reboot it to see if that would pick up my carrier. Now the phone takes AGES (2-5 mins) to boot up, some times it hangs. The phone functions fine when it boots.
I used CWM recovery to install CM because TWRP just would not work, infact CWM recovery was a pain in the arse too, the only way i could get it to boot into recovery mode was to download the rom manager app and use its widget to boot into recovery because manually trying it just resulted in multiple hangs.
This is the first time i have rooted/flashed an android device so i may be making some rookie errors here but this is bordering on stupid now.

Cwm and which version?

i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4. Its the 28th's nightly also. Im trying to get it to see my o2 version of the s4. I installed gapps from zip straight after CM but i havn't used it. might the problem be there?

i have reinstalled CWM and flashed a new CM nightly from here.

I still cant get access to my mobile network (UK o2). When i flash cyanogen it says please insert sim yadayada. Any help on this would still be very much appreciated :crying:

Possibly a corrupt EFS partition? If you flash stock ROM can you get signal and baseband back?

This is really bad im still in need of help sadly. I am trying to flash stock firmware from sammobile.com. It has the o2 uk one i need. I am using odin to do it following this guide youtube dot com/watch?v=hZTTTk7vbVM
The problem now is that it fails to flash (using odin 3.06) . Kies doesnt even recognise my device....this is a disaster so far

So i have soft bricked my phone. It wont boot up instead it gets to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" Kies doesnt recognise my phone so thats out.
I cant get into recovery mode it just gives the same message. In download mode when i try to use odin to flash the previously mentioned stock rom it fails. Im at a loss and i am badly in need of help now

Sounds to me like you have a corrupted EFS, just as the poster above mentioned. Did you do a full wipe before you tried to Odin back to Stock ROM?

Look no further, because the full wipe is the fix, like it or not.

My newbness is screwing me here i know it. The phone is fresh from the o2 shop so i dont have anything to lose, how do i do a full wipe?
I have had some progress on my own. I downloaded a new .tar stock firmware from sammobile, the BTU version. This time odin flashed it no problem what-so-ever. So if anyone reading this gets the same problem mine was with the o2uk firmware on sammobile.
I have a new problem though, the phone just doesnt get past the samsung logo at boot. it doesnt freeze as i can see the blue glow round the samsung logo pulse but it just never boots. left it for ah hour after first flashing and nothing. I removed battery etc etc but wont get past this point. Is this full wipe easy to do?

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset. It'll cure your problem. The first boot can take a long time, 5 minutes, so let it do it's thing

Thanks guys im back into my phone and its all working normal again!
Did i do something wrong by rooting then installing cyanogen mod the way i did? i mean it worked i just didnt have my phone network. kept saying insert SIM. was i supposed to unlock the carrier or something? i though cyanogen did all that.

Still looking for that last bit of advice people. Is there something i should have done before rooting/flashing to unlock my phone from o2uk or was i correct in thinking CM10.2 unlocked the phone also? if i was incorrect is there any help i can be given with respects to this? Thanks again.

[Q] Problem rooting SM-N9005

For two days i have been struggling to root my new Orange Romania N9005.
First of all I downloaded CF Auto Root and Odin 3.09. Followed the steps exactly (i'm not new to rooting) ,Uninstalled Kies and downloaded the latest drivers only, and every single time I try to root it Odin gives the following error:

,I have tried to change usb ports to no avail, even tried to root it on 4 different laptops.Tried with different cables, with usb debugging on and off, NOTHING WORKS!!!
Please help me I am thinking of setting it on fire!!!

Try install Kies and try again...
/CK

tried with old kies and kies 3 as well.Also tried older drivers.
Do i have a locked BootLoader?This shouldnt be the case as it is an n9005.
Any way to check if bootloader is locked and if so any way to unlock it for the international version?
Thanks!

No one?
Doesn't any one know how to help?Don't know where else to ask.

I had the same issue while rooting my Galaxy S4,tried on every other laptop,different ports,cables and more but then I realized I was using the wrong file.
Yes,the international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.Are you able to boot your phone into Download mode?I am sure u cant boot into Recovery mode,can you?
First go back and check your phone's model no and use the proper file and try again!I will help you,dont worry!

I deactivated the reactivation lock but still the same problem.I have Downloaded the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar file several times same thing every time.My last chance is doing a full wipe of the system and then trying again.I hope orange Romania CSC does't have some sort of security block.
Frustrating thing is the phone is fully functional so i cannot ask for a replacement.And even after the dozens of failed flash attempts it still reads 0x0.
YES!!!Finally.A full wipe did it.!Thank you for your interest in helping me.

thanks for bringing this up.
so where do you get the proper file?

kindly give the correct link.
thanks once again

Before you wanna flash. Don't forget to uncheck reactivation lock, put off your external sd card. And look carefully for your modem and radio. Don't switch with the another kernel before official launch comes.

Yes, the reactivation lock did it for me too. I was stuck at exactly the same point and couldn't think of why, and this didn't even come to mind. In fact, I forgot that I even did that, but it worked. !!!

Help please, I have a (Note 3) SM-N900V on JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE.
I bought it on Jan 12th ish, and took the firmware update as soon as I saw it because of some reading I had done.... shouldn't have done that I guess.
I am still totally unable to root this thing, Kingo, Odin v3.0.9. I am willing to do w/e (go back to older firmware even if possible)
I know there are no guarantees in this attempt, and would not hold you to anything, I have rooted every other android I have had and am very familiar with the process, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

[Q] Bricked phone while uninstalling APKs

Bricked my phone while uninstalling APKs. Was using version 4.3. Unsure of baseband version. After which I tried to turn on my phone and all I could see was the samsung logo and it got stuck there.
Tried to reflash my phone with version 4.3 kernels and ROMs to no avail.
Unable to get past Starting apps. Sometimes flashing just gives me a black screen.
Any help would be good. Much thanks.

As @waleeds1 said, No. But I recommend you to take backup of all your data nd do a factory reset after you flash Lollipop firmware.
That way you won't get any lags or performance glitches.

Make sure you've a good backup. Nd also you've Samsung USB drivers already installed in your PC.
Power off your device nd boot in download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power Buttons together.
Then open Odin nd connect your phone to PC via data cable nd press volume Up key on phone, then if it shows you "Added" in Odin you're good to go.
Select the AP option nd select the firmware which you've downloaded. Now it'll take some time to verify the md5 as depending upon the speed of your PC. Once it has verified you'll be able to click on other options. So now you've to click on Start nd make sure you don't move your device or the connection doesn't cut off or your device might get hard bricked.
That's it, the flashing time would be about 4-5 minutes. After it is flashed the phone will reboot nd now you can factory reset the device properly for a clean new device.
I've told everything you needed to know.
Enjoy!

The thing you said is correct but I recommend first start your phone without factory reseting @jelmerpeligrino becuase if u dont face any performance or other issues. But if u wish to factory then its still a good choice

Yes I told that in my second post.
Actually I believe he has been using Kitkat from a long time nd for most of the apps, the things have changed. The API differences creates certain problems as it is recommended by Samsung itself to factory reset the device after Android version change.
From Kitkat to Kitkat nd Lollipop to Lollipop factory reset is not needed but for SDK changing it is needed.

Thanks for your reply, yes, I've got the correct Firmware, correct Odin settings, I even tried the Kasachstan firmware that you used but same result.

Yes I told that in my second post.
Actually I believe he has been using Kitkat from a long time nd for most of the apps, the things have changed. The API differences creates certain problems as it is recommended by Samsung itself to factory reset the device after Android version change.
From Kitkat to Kitkat nd Lollipop to Lollipop factory reset is not needed but for SDK changing it is needed.

No you don't have the right firmware for your device. The baseband difference. Post a screenshot from your About Phone nd also the link of firmware you're trying to flash.

Yes it is normal, It is weird tho how you've two devices connected. Or maybe there's some bug in this version of Odin. Anyways all working good?

So far, it was good. The performance is better now compared to Kitkat and and the sluggishness was gone. Thanks bro!
Btw, do you have any Marshmallow ROM for this device?

Galaxy Note 4 N910G Problem after trying to update phone stucks can't perform nothing

Hello. Here is my first post. So if sth is not clear tell me to add it.
I have a galaxy note 4 N910G. When the message for update came i accepted. The update was downloaded but then the problems started. Phone closed and didn't opened again. i waited for half an hour but nothing. So i searched on internet for what to do. I removed the battery and bla bla. The phone opened and the screen said Could not do normal boot. etc. When i go to perform a hard reset or soft reset it works but. The phone opens at the old version and it is really slow than ever. Also the phone after this can't perform a restart or if i shut it down i have to remove the battery and press the power button one minute and then i put the battery and it works but really really slow. When i hit on the settings for a reset the phone closes and don't open again. Also when i hit update software it says that failed to communicate to server try again when the phone is connected to a working wifi.
Flashing the stock rom again is not possible odin and kies report faults. Any ideas? How to have my phone back again? Maybe root the phone?
Thank you.

When you say the log what do you mean exactly?
I searched at the sit you suggested me. I started downloading one version
but my phone says it is from Singapore but there is no version for Singapore.
I started downloading N910G India. Is this ok?
I forgot to mention that someone maybe tried to root the phone but that failed.
Because this phone is not mine it's my cousin's i don't know what exactly happened.

Provided it is same biuld number like n910g it doesnt matrr

Now the phone is working completely. I installed normally the software and it seems ok. Meanwhile when i have some multitasking the phone seems to freak out. The screen is going off and after secs again on.
Is there something i can do or this normal for this phone?
Thanks a lot

Problem again. When i installed the rom the phone gave me a notification for an update for improvement of performance and bugs.
I accepted because the phone was really slow. After that i accepted to install the update then the phone closes the update is installed and when it finished the phone closed and not opened again after waiting for half an hour. when i tryied to open it the phones starts to install the same update again but the same the phones shuts down. I tried to flash again the rom and here is the log of the odin:
