ok so i was trying to get LTE option back on my phone and flashed the stock rom twice. didnt work. thought it could need a factory reset. didnt fix it. tried flashing stock another 2 times. still no LTE.
flashed TWRP recovery did a wipe inc system, data and cache. flashed stock in odin.
now wont boot up. gets stuck at the S4 logo.
trying again to flash the stock rom in odin will post soon if it starts up. but if not what do I do?
also how come i couldnt get LTE back in mobile networks?
only had the phone for 2 days LOL
came from the s2 and s3 so have a fair bit of knowledge about these.
thanks
EDIT: NOPE still wont boot
have you tried to wipe data/factory reset after odin i suppose it won't if not also try a Rom with another build either a complete stock on odin or a pre rooted one
ok so after a hour of playing with it i fixed it. I used wipe data factory reset and it just booted up lol.
back on omega rom now

I tried to flash from darky's rom back to I9000UGJK3.tar
Using Odin i selected the s1_odin_20100512.pit then pda for I9000UGJK3.tar
Things went well with Odin but when the phone trys to boot the splash screen just flashes endlessly.
Im guessing i pooched something along the way.
Download mode works but not sure how to get this stock rom back on.
Any suggestion would be appreciated

You shouldn't use a pit or re-partition for a 1 file firmware.
I know i messed up,
Anyhow i just flashed I9000XXJPU, selected re-partition, and selected
PDA,MODEM,CSC.
Everthing worked then, when the phone rebooted, it says cannot mount sd card, use UI something. Then it just flashes the logo screen like before.
Update: reflashed with I9000UGL2 and the phone works now.
Now if i could only figure out what my original firmware was, Kies does not work now
To go back to stock:
1) Back up things u love
2) Make factory reset. Any reset options you can get
3) Wipe
4) Download firmware from samfirmaware.com
5) Patch with all 4 files
6) Factory reset, wipe, clear cache
Done
Well i followed the instruction from this page:
If you had enough or want to send it back in for warranty and want to go back to a STOCK ROM, this video shows how to go back to a 2.2.1 default ROM which in this case is JPY based - Made by AndroidGalaxyS:

The problem now is I cannot remember what firmware i had. My phone is not coming up as a bell phone and the code to reinstall the provider apps will not work.
I think im screwed, have a feeling there gonna know i was messing with my phone if i try to bring it back, which is what i want to do. I have a extended warranty from Future shop, and supposedly they will not honour it for any software related problems.
Also now when my phone boots i keep getting a gallery force close. The phone is like a semi functional brick right now.
Not sure if the firmware is region specific in Canada as well but i got my phone in BC?
Usual Darky f9999 my phone repair kit .
Boot to restore wipe Dalvik cache followed by factory reset and wipe .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom with pit relevant to that rom and repartition checked .
Once working you can upgrade as you want .
jje
Sarcasm, just do as stated above. Find the default canadian firmware. If you can make make ur phone upgrade/update with kies, without messing with kies itself you r home.

Im not to sure how to do that. Is that in the recovery mode?
Update:
I used titanium backup to wipe davlik cache. re flashed with Firmware: I9000MUGKC1 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022445
Still no luck Kies says this device version cannot be updated.
I tried this code to get the stock bell apps but it does not work. nothing happens when you finish with # then if i press the dial button it just says USSID code rejected.

Not sure how this one happened but stuck in a reboot cycle. I get the samsung galaxy logo, black screen and then it just hangs. I have 1 nandroid since I just started playing, and I can get into recovery, but when I try to restore I am getting an MD5 issue so won't restore.
This was a pretty much a stock galaxy 4, rooted with the hotspot mod flashed, so I won't be losing that much. I do see an option in recovery to wipe data / factory reset, but not sure if that will even work.
I don't have my windows machine with me, but my other thought from my old evo day's would be to mount the SD and flash from the SD, but have 3 hours to sit around and the wipe/factory reset could be done and re-setup by then.
Thanks for all read/replies.
try the factory reset and if that doesn't work, you can disable the md5 check in twrp and force the nandroid restore. If that doesn't work you are no worse off. If none of that works you will probably have to wait until you can use Odin to flash the MDL stock rom and start over.

Hello,
I've got a problem with my gt-i9505.
I've managed to root the phone and install TWRP.
So i decided to install CM10.2 (21-08) and the right gapps for it.
Everything worked very good and I couldn't be happier.
All my apps were back and it was ready to use it!
I turned off the phone and went to sleep.
The next day i turned it on and it got stuck on the bootscreen (not the CM bootscreen, but the SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 bootscreen).
So I tried to do factory reset and install rom again, gapps again, afterwards again wipe dalvik and cache.
But i keep having the same problem. Right now after flashing the rom it doesn't even boot up the first time.
I also tried going back to 10.1, but same problem.
I don't know what to do, i just got my s4. Really hope i can fix it.
Luckily i can enter the recovery. But i didn't do a backup or anything.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get it working again?

Hi,
Look HERE
Put everything back to stock then, try again.
I found some 10.2 ROMS do not like rebooting,and just hang.
Remove the battery and try again normally worked.

I followed the instructions and succesfully installed the official stock rom for my device and region.
But it's still stuck at the samsung boot screen.
And now i can't boot into TWRP anymore either, is that correct?
After that I flashed with the .pit file. But still stuck on bootscreen.
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
idgaf about custom roms or CM10.2 anymore, i just want my phone to work.
Wether it's with custom or with stock firmware.
Really hope I didn't break my phone. :crying:
EDIT:
I wiped cache after flashing, but no data wipe/factory reset. That did the trick.
God i can't be happier my phone finally works again. Now i'm scared to flash a custom rom again. I think i need to install TWRP or CWM again too I'll just wait for now.
Hi,
I recently got the I337m s4 that was originally under Bell (canadian carrier). The first mistake, I think I made was immediately flashing it by using the chainfire autoroot method with odin. After I did, I installed the gummy rom. Ever since then, I cannot get the sound to work on my phone. I am not sure if it is a modem issue. I hope it is not a hardware issue. I already tried going to
From searching different threads on here, one user of the i9505 variant was able to get sound working by using odin to flash the stock rom. I linked the thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698073
Is this the proper way to start troubleshooting? I already tried getting back to stock by using odin 3.07 and the firmware below that did not work:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/?page=1&model=SGH-I337M&pcode=0#firmware
Should I try flashing stock again but this time by doing the battery pull method (pulling the battery, before rebooting, after flashing is complete) that a lot people suggest? Did I select the correct firmware from sammobile?
P.S. When I did go back to stock, the boot screen samsung always played sound.
some ideas
try flashing the modems
reflash rom and check md5 before flashing
restore your nandroid
i think 3.09 is latest odin, but never used it
are you wiping all including system before flashing rom--i do it 3x
I have not tried flashing the modem but I read on xda that when you flash the whole stock firmware from sammobile, you end up re-flashing the modem since it is in the firmware. I will try flashing modem separately since I have not done that, yet.
When I flash, I always wipe dalvik cache, cache and do a factory reset before I start.
Btw, I did go flash the firmware from sammobile today and unrooted my phone. I still get no sound when playing music. The only sound I get is the samsung boot sound, when booting my phone.

Only other thing I can think of is to back up personal data and wipe your cards.
It seems like every time I do factory reset from the phone or flash using odin, the sound works for 5 minutes, when I play a track. Then I have to restart the phone and sometimes the sound comes back sometimes it doesnt. Otherwise, everything else working fine.
[FIXED]
Partly, because I had misplaced my OEM battery, I did not mention this before. The whole time my phone would randomly restart and not play sounds, I was using the anker 7800mah batter. After, I put the OEM stock battery back in, everything is working fine now! I am still on stock firmware but was able to root using chainfire with no issues.:good:
It's been awhile since I changed anything on this phone, I've been running CM11 with no issues. The wife was playing with my phone which is on cm12 and wanted me to upgrade it. Great, I hate having to touch her phone but ok.
1. Did a straight upgrade to CM12 nightly (couple nights ago build) with gapps from CM site. After the install everything crashes on the initial load, it's like the baseband is jacked and doesn't know how to handle the new google play services because everything crashes.
2. Went back and wiped internal everything this time, re installed nightly and gapps. No change.
3. Tried step 2 a couple more times and different gapps from PA and other random sites (micro, light, stock versions) and then TWRP just died on me. It's asking for a password when I first go in so now I'm stuck there. Tried to use ODIN to install the latest TWRP after converting it with another script found here (i'll find the link).
so, I'm probably going to have to use ODIN to restore some stock version of S4 ATT but I really don't know which one is stock that would work with CM12. I don't want to get caught in the safestrap crap of dual boot and whatever else. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You'll need to Odin the mdl firmware in Odin. Be careful as it will want to update itself after you flash it. See sammobile.com for the firmware.

Awesome, thanks!
Flashed the stock, towelroot, twrp from google play and cm12 nightly. Perfect and back where I left off. Thanks!!
Ok.. I did a bad thing I guess. after working for a couple weeks I tried to reset the phone while cm12.1 was installed. All it did was keep restarting TWRP and was stuck there. So I figured there was an issue with the twrp install or something whatever, I went to flash back to stock mdl in odin. Instead of selecting PDA I selected Phone and it failed on the first attempt. Then I selected PDA and it installed correctly (Said passed). Now I'm stuck on the AT&T logo on boot. I tried to reinstall the stock rom again and the same results. Where do I go from here??!?

Ok, factory reset worked on the second try. Sent it in to a boot loop on the first go around, odd. Thanks!
