Chainfire 3D is not for your phone!
Flash stock with odin.

Thank you guys, I should have researched more before installing chainfire
I kind of hoped there is a way without downloading those 1.5GB files but i guess not.
BTW any reason why reset factory default not solving the problem?

FYI, you may want to ask this on the 9505 forum. You're exponentially more likely to get an applicable answer there than you are from another device's forum.

[Q] HELP! I soft bricked my S4 and I'm lost!

Hello!
I am just lost and any help will be appreciated. I have a Galaxy S4 Sprint SPH-L720. I have it with Android 4.3 rooted and this morning I had the MK2 upgrade so I upgraded it. Big mistake! After the upgrade, I couldn't turn wifi on. I have no idea why.
So I was looking for an answer and I found that I needed to replace some files, but my device needed to be rooted for that. I had my device rooted before but after the MK2 upgrade, I lost root privileges. Then, I tried to re-root it, and apparently I did something wrong and I soft bricked my phone.
I have no idea how to fix this. I know I have to do it through ODIN, but which is the correct TAR file? How do I fix this?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Second this all I have now is the Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen
Download the mja tar file and odin that. Then do a factory reset in recovery.

Are you sure you have the right files ? For the n9005 ? (If that is your phone)
Are you on 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
this? yes i tried it but it still does not boot into recovery, doesnt even boot loop just gets stuck in the screen i mentioned earlier
Now if i boot into download mode this is my screen

Write protection: Enable ... is that something that can be a reason for this? :silly:
And what does Odin say ? If it says pass, you should do the "pull out battery and manually boot into recovery" and it should work. I still think you have the wrong file, maybe for 4.4.2 ? Maybe a bad download, try again.

Tell me, can I flash xnote rom with cf root?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Lol, 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?
You could, but you'll need a custom recovery. But more I won't tell you. Spoon feeding is bad. :banghead:
And the fact, that you didn't see the link for the 4.3 file, wich was posted in the same sentence as the 4.4 link, I think you should really do some reading.
Every rom has its installation instructions written in the thread.
Sent from my N9005
Yes sorry about that. I just need guidance I can't find a recovery via Cwm for instance and the x note thread doesn't seem to have an install guide , I just want a kit kat based rom for my note and the last time I flashed a recovery+rom it was a galaxy gio and that was done via sd card and 2 zip files hehe

See, that's why I hate this. How can you say it doesn't have a guide on how to install it, if it clearly does. My first custom rom, coming from 4.3 to 4.4 was xnote. And guess what, i flashed it with the help of the instructions posted on the site, and a bit of Google search too. Why do i even bother, I'm over and out. Maybe someone else will spoon feed you.

If you have stock rom and rooted it, the issue is most probably caused by knox.
Removing knox or changing to a rom without knox should fix the issue.

[Q] Unfortunately, Context Service has stopped?

Allright my S4 (i9505) is facing that problem after i tried to flash S5 camera mod with CWM. This problem didnt get cleared after wiping with CWM. What i can do to fix this ASAP? New ROM with ODIN? Cheers!
Fast help would be really highly appreciated!!
