[urgent] need a XXUBMGA firmware

Hi,
I played too much with flashing, and loose sound (absolutly no sound, no mic)
(my phone is a I9505)
I would like to flash an original firmware, like the XXUBMGA (which is what I had when I bought it), properly tuned for France
without knox etc...
I need to get back all the things in firmware folder....
because hotfile is closed, I can't find it anymore (
sammobile only has formware for one month ago. I want to have something older in order.
thanks for anyone who could share, on mega, or ??? the firmware flashable with odin (a rom will not get back the sound for me (
thanks
Olivier
If AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com doesn't have what you need, you either wait for Samfirmware to have their files up again, or you're SOOL.

I bought my phone from an official store, it was somewhere in May 2013.
I had the XXUBMGA rom on it.
I was never sim locked.
strange. may be the phone comes from another country then (import by the shop) ???

I tried 2 or 3 times to flash with odin, then go in stock recovery, wipe cache, and factory reset each time,
and finally it worked.
I remembered that when flashing modem, most of the time, I have to flash 2 times at least in order to get ti flashed properly...
strange thing : in stock recovery, when I wipe cache, the phone reboot !
I hope I didn't damage any partition...
anyway, now my galaxy s4 is back sound works.
it is rooted, and I will go back to non stock rom soon.

No SIM Problem i9505

Hello I have a s4 i9505 phone and my problem is that sometimes (most of the times) doesn't seem to recognize the sim (it is inside) . Last night i installed the goldfinger ROM and it went good, i had no signal but the people could call me. This morning i tried to get rid of the signal problem too but i flashed the XXUGNE5 modem and now i don't have sim at all . My carrier is Vodafone , Spain. I tried everything , since this problem persist like a month ago when i changed my screen because it crashed. I changed too the hardware, the sim reader but no solution at all so my thoughts are that this is a software problem . Sorry 4 my bad English and thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: Sometimes i have no signal but the phone works , but after a certain time it says Sim card extracted , restart...
1. Do a full wipe in your custom recovery
2. Flash the latest stock rom.
3. If the problem is still there then it's a hardware problem.

[Q] Note 3 LDU n900x help

Hello to all holders Live Demo Unit! and the developers out here
I want to summarize in this topic (maybe someone will correct if I'm wrong).
Many guys out there are having LDU unit and few of them might be using it properly but i want to ask people and the developers to help people like me to get it to working properly. I know and want others to know as well that with a Live Demo Unit YOU CAN'T DO PHONE CALLS or TEXT MESSAGING due to its nature. So, we need a custom/stock firmware that will transform Live Demo Unit in to a working tablet note 3 that works on WiFi and for multimedia purposes.
In the beginning when i had it in my hands i upgraded the android to 4.4.2 leading to upgradation of boot loader to newer version and later i came to know that there isn't any going back, you cant downgrade your boot loader.
after installing the firmware with Odin i noticed few issues:-
1. Periodic boots
2.Videos, camera (in video mode), YouTube were not working and as soon as they are opened phone restarts
3.Battery draining issues
4."Network operator" eats battery more other processes (always on the mobile network signal) even in airplane mode
after researching got to know that all the issues were due to modem. i collected all the demo firmwares as well but could got them working , as the modem file (CP_N900XXXUDMK1_LLK_REV03_CL1252918.tar.md5) was not compatible with version higher than 4.3 so in short i was stuck
i downloaded various firmwares stock as well custom and yes cyanogen too but not successful
then i installed cygwinand removed the modem and other files from the stock and thought that it might help in any way but nothing as far
please if any one know how to correct the issue is more than welcome
thanks
If you have kk BL you only have to flash NG1 modem minimum.....use @Khizar method...
i did that already but still no success. thanks for replying
anymore help would be appreciated.
come on guys please help me out with it !!!
stock 5.0 is out, shall i try it..will it be worth??
any ideas would be appreciated

AFAIK that is not always correct.
If the LDU has a modem board, you can make it working with phone calls and SMS.
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to check if your LDU has Modem Board or not? (under MISC INFO section).

but it doesnt have a modem in it.i have checked it.

can you please guide me which rom to install.
Step 1. Chech your version of LDU. Snapdragon/exynox. Use phone info samsung from play store.
Step 2. Find the tread in general about the leaked firmware for note 3 ( snapdragon) or exynox ( this variant of note 3 has from today official lolipop) and install by following the instructions. It's all here, just search a little and you'll be fine

X-Note, Echoe Rom for the N9005, Stock S5 ROM. i havent tried any of them yet. shall i give it a try ?
i just want my phone to play movies and games . i am currently using 4.4.4 and it reboots and lags just want to get rid of it
what you suggest ???
Stock S5 rom? Nonono
---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------
Find leaked lolipop rom for SM N9005. No other rom!!!!
stock s5 rom for note 3
ok
lolipop rom for SM N9005
will it solve the problem of reboots and video error ?
You will find that rom in general thread! Download odin, firmware and follow the steps described vrey well there ( including pictures). First you need to make your phone to work normally, after that you can try different roms. For now just install a pure samsung rom

[Q] does flashing a custom recovery can hard brick my phone?

so i want to flash twrp in my S5 sm-g9009d , but im not sure if my model is supported , as it only says klte in twrp page (which i dont know if that's my device type , nor can i find any info about it :/ )
so what's the worst that can happen ?
Hi, Rinyumi ,
No, but there is red alert for all flash
