hello, this is the first time i am posting on the forum so i dont know if the post is in the right place. i have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 from mauritius. but it is infact a 4-core phone, i guess they modified it for distribution here. i download the pre-rooted rom from djembey for i9505 and tried to flash my mobile. the problem is that it gets stuck. At first it got stuck several times on setup connection but now it gets stuck at cache.img.ext4 and the phone will not even turn on. it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue and asks to recover using kies. can anyone here please help. i tried with different versions of odin and even changed my usb cable and tried on different usb ports.
my phone variant is i9500XXUAMDE
I think you are using the wrong firmware. You ideally should use i9500 not i9505. Both are different. Try using pre rooted i9500 or download the stock from sammobile and try flashing using odin

i am downloading a stock firmware to install back. But why is the flash process stuck on cache.img.ext4? im afraid it will still be the same even if i flash with an i9500 firmware.
definitely a wrong firmware

If you have an i9500 phone you should flash a i9500 firmware.
It's not that hard really.

Your KNOX will always 0x1, so at first download official firmware from sammobile.com than download odin, in AP choose your extracted firmware md5 file and flash it after successfully flashing it must say PASS! when your phone finishes booting go to recovery and factory reset.

Is there a selection of firmware which I will download or I will just select for the Note 3 9005? Since this is the first time doing that kind of flashing and rooting.. BTW after I flash the firmware and factory reset I can proceed in rooting?
yes go to firmwares and choose what region you want I have n900 but on n9005 I preffer BTU britain firmware, after that you can root your phone using cfautoroot

Can I flash directly for Kitkat? Or do I need to flash the original firmware first before I update to kitkat. Sorry for asking too much question newbie here Lol!
no problem if I know I share my opinion you can flash whatever you want, if you want KK or JB but you must know that you can't downgrade kitkat to jellybean so you choose

Hello, I have a bell sm-n900w8 note 3 with android 3.4. Here are some screenshots of the setiings: http://imgur.com/a/lfjal. I started out by rooting it and installing TWRP. My phone ran great. I then wanted to try a new rom so about a week ago I flashed the sm-9005 xnote rom. It worked great. The next day I wanted to use 4.4 kitkat so I flashed the bobcat rom, this did not boot though becasue I had not upgraded my phone to kitkat. I then paniked and installed the xnote rom again. Now my phone runs very hot and has terrible battery life becasuse of this mm-qcamera-daemon and the camera doesn't work. I tried unrooting it using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-3.html. This did not work and odin kept saying failed. Then I paniked again and went into SU and hit unroot. Now I have a phone that just barely works and runs out of battery very fast.
Can someone help me unroot and reset my phone to what it was like when I first got it?
If you need any more information about what I did, please feel free to ask me, in this case you are the experts.
You have to flash the stock firmware using Odin. You can download it from sammobile.com.

It worked!
How do I fix the thing were I can't upgrade the phone because it is modified?
You can upgrade it but you have to use Odin to flash the 4.4.2 firmware. Again you can download it from sammobile.

Try removing sim and ext sd, if you have one, this seems to work for some.

Did you shut down the phone, pull the battery and wait for 20 seconds? Then boot into downloadmode and flash the rom with Odin 3.09. Is Kies terminated in windows task manager?
No because not been nesesery for TOP rom. Kies not terminatet on task manager. Maybe need change Csc before flash NEE?
I'm baffled and have no idea what to do next
I flashed an mdj modem IIRC, and lost sound.
Running stable CM11
Current modem is MK6 currently.
I tried to flash through Odin back to stock but it failed twice - even though it was for my Rogers device 4.4.2
Im lost

Anyone know what the solution is?.
Do I need the stock kernel? Do I need to reflash modems?
If not and you guys think I need to Odin to stock can someone link me to the proper file and some steps?
I can't seem to ever get any stock roms to flash in odin

Odin can be finicky. Try different usb cables and ports. You should be able to get the firmware for your device at sammobile.com

It's not a connection port issue it's a Fail Auth when the stock firmware is almost done installing
Thank you for replying

Okay so here is my problem:
-Bought AT&T phone off ebay Hong Kong. Using phone in Australia.
-SGH-I337
-4.3 MJ6
-Rooted it.
-Installed Safestrap.
-Backed up with Safestrap.
-Flashed GOLDENEYE v49.1
-*BRICKED*
-Safestrap recovery is GONE
-Stock recovery and download modes BOTH still work. When booted, the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo/pulsating blue LED.
I've spent around 5 hours reading everything I can, but can't seem to find much regarding 4.3 MJ6.
Do I need to flash a 100% stock 4.3 MJ6 ROM to get up and running again? Does anybody know where I can find that ROM?
I've been using custom ROMs on HTCs for a couple of years, this is my first Samsung.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have an i337m? If you do you don't need safestrap. Go to sammobile.com and download the latest firmware and flash that in Odin. It should get you up an running again.

Model is SGH-I337 no 'm' in the model number.
KIES does not accept the phone serial number, btw.
Thanks.

When you boot into download mode what does it say your device is? Mj6 is not firmware for the i337

It says 'SGH-I337'
It's definitely MJ6, it seems to be an uncommon one which is a pita to work with.
Thanks.

Ok, here's what I'd do, flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. It should get your device up and running again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149. You'll have to re-setup everything again afterwards so backup first.
