I got my S4 i9505 yesterday and straight away I started having issues, Random hangs resets flikering etc.
I thought it was a faulty firmware, Hence I installed a custom recovery and installed wanamlite. During the process I cleared cache etc resulting in E: something something errors.
Trying to fix them I flashed a couple of roms ( Stock/ semi stock) via Odin. However that has even made the problem worse now my phone wont boot at all it passes the galaxy S4 screen then sound comes and the phone gets stuck on flashing samsung logo.
Please Help

I have not tried with the pit file, I will give that a try.
I used
United Kingdom BTU (April 2013)
PDA: I9505XXUAMDM
CSC: I9505OXXAMDB
Version 4.2.2
provided by you in the unroot/unbrick topic. Assuming it will be the right firmware for the UK i9505.
Can you suggest any other firmware.
I appreciate the help Samersh

The pit+firmware flashing worked. Now the phone boots up fine but still facing the restarts and hangs every 3 4 mins
Can it be a hardware issue ?

if it was a software issue it must be ok after flashing stock.
yes, i think it is a HW issue, since, also, before you begin to mess with it, it had issues

Hi guys, I am new here, I am now finding help anywhere about my Note III recent problem...
My note III is SM-N9005 Malaysia version, I did root it with CF Auto Root and I had been using it without problems until yesterday morning,
This is my case :
I realized my alarm was written "Clock has been not responding" and I lost my network service, then I tried to restart my phone,
Since I restart, it became worst, my phone went into boot loop and sometimes freeze on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen,
But in a few times of reboot, it will be able to boot into homescreen, but still no service for the network, and everything processes work extremely slow, even freezing and crashing!
What I tried to do to fix it :
-I went to the Samsung service center, and the technician said that my warranty is voided (Ofcourse I knew it), and he told me that this problem is due to software problem instead of hardware.
-I did flash my kernel with stock kernel again which was downloaded from Sammobile, but it did not fix my problem,
-And I tried to hard reset and factory reset of my phone, it did not help too,
-I am also tried to clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot the device, it didn't seems working...
I have already done what I could but I still yet to fix my phone, what should I do now, any experts can guild me?? T^T
Thank you

I didn't really know about EFS while I root my phone, I just knew it recently due to my current issue, so I didn't backup it....
Is there any other solution??? Or could I recover my EFS eventhough I didn't do a backup??
BTW, thx for reply~

check your internal card or sd card for a folder called Backups or something similar, if your running a custom rom normally EFS is automatically stored there if your custom rom does do EFS backup automatically at install....if not do a search on the forum for EFS RECOVERY or re-flash your rom it may help or may not, but im sure it wont though...
also read though the link i sent you there maybe some think there that may help you

Thanks guys for the replies
-I went for a search for the backup folder in either of the storage mentioned by I didn't see a file called "backup"... I think I deleted it since the factory reset I've done yesterday, I went to many forums hat talk about EFS, and it wont help my problem cos all of them are talk about "Backup/recover", where I didn't backup my EFS earlier...
-I tried for the IMEI code, that's the reason I know about EFS, it shows "null/null", and most the information are showing unknown, such as baseband version, IMEISV, IP Address, Bluetooth Address.
-My current situation is whatever I flash into my phone, it just wont help, the problem didn't improvise at all...
Thanks..

download Stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates
turn phone off, boot into recovery mode wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
turn phone off, boot into download mode
use odin v 3.09 load your downloaded firmware into AP, check update boot loader box, don't check anything else and click start.
once it finishes flashing, it will reboot by itself.
if it fails then you might want to repeat the process above one more time.
if still fails u might want to do emergency recovery via kies.
Good luck and hope this helps.

I have tried the odin method and it didn't work...
Now I am trying for the kies emergency recovery method, and I will reply if there are any improvements...
Hi guys, I think have some new clues to determine my problem now
I flashed a custom recovery into my phone this morning,
and I realise that my /system, /efs and /firmware-modem is unmounted,
I tried to mount them, it was successful, but when I reboot the device, the problem still there,
Boot loop, no IMEI, no Baseband Version, Lag Processes,
and I went back to recovery again, I realised they have been unmounted again...
Any idea what is the problem guys??
Thx

Hi there,
I have tried the kies emergency recovery method, but it was unsuccessful,
My note 3 was connected to the kies, but when I run Emergency Firmware Recovery,
My device was instantly disconnected with kies
And I have also tried the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,
The Kies showed me that my device is not supported with initialisation...
Anything I should do??
Thx

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??!?

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the forum and I'm in need of your help.
I purchased a galaxy s5 from someone on gumtree and I'm having some problems.
Originally it was running g900pvpu1boa6 Sprint, however all the apps started to crash, the keyboard was crashing, the google play and many other random services.
I tried to install the latest sprint firmware g900pvpu3bog1, that worked however the same problem still occurs. I tried to clear the app caches and still it wouldn't work. Finally I followed some instructions and I wiped cache partition. But it started to loop on the Bootup. I took the battery off and it eventually booted into the phone but same problem exists. The phone is not rooted from my knowledge.
What should I do ?
Wipe your data from recovery. If does not help - flash latest firmware and find pit file for your phone (MAKE SURE IT IS THE RIGHT ONE) and add it in odin alongside with stock firmware and check re-partition.
Hi TasEsmuEs,
Thanks for your reply, what do you mean by PIT file and where will I find that?
i flashed the 6.0 stock firmware after coming from 5.1 and the device booted fine. But as i was going through the process of setting it up, it rebooted. it keeps happening again and again
i don't understand what is wrong here, i flashed the right firmware
Any help will be greatly appreciated
What ROM did you flash and how did you flash it? Via fastboot or TWRP?

I flashed it via fastboot. The ROM is RETASIA XT1562 6.0.
i think i have identified the issue, it happens when the phone is 'checking connection' after I enter my Google account. To make sure of this I flashed CM on it without Gapps and it was fine but when I flashed Gapps and after I entered my Google account (while setting the phone up) it started rebooting again.

The same problem occurred for when I flashed the android 6. 0 moto x play rom.
To fix this I factory reseted it worked fine.
You could also try reflashing android 5.1.1 and then upgrading to 6.0 through ota update
Also make sure you flashed the correct version of the rom for you region

I tried factory reset but it still happened. I tried CM 13 and it happened in that too.
When I try to flash OTA update on 5.1.1 stock I get a 'Status 7' error so I can't do that too.
I guess I'm stuck with CM 12.1

If your phone has twrp, then try restoring the stock zip file through twrp.
You can find that stock zip in the forum.

Hi OP - has anything worked for you so far? I've got a friend with a similar issue so if you managed to fix this, then steps to replicate would be appreciated. Cheers.
