[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 Screen

Hi guys, Ive just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4
I had the s3 and loved it but thought id get the S4, (I'm on the Three network UK If this helps)
Anyway with the s3 i rooted it, Installed CF Root, and siyah kernel and worked a treat
So when i had my S4 today i thought id root it, So i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8 did everything and everything worked fine, then i thought oh ill put the siyah kernel on from here d-h.st/users/siyah/s3 and was completely in a daze didn't even read where it said s3 or anything (Yes i know im thick as two short blanks but i do apologize in advance) and when i flashed the siyah kernal it got stuck on the booting screen where it says Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and nothing is budging it, nothing at all.
Anyway so i looked at troubleshooting things and here's what i have tried
*Taking Battery out
* Recovery mode (Power, Home and Volume Up button) clicked factory reset wipe data etc
So im out of options and in desperate need of help as i dont know what else to do so im desperate, i know im a dope for installing something but as i said i was in a daze and just doing it automatically which i know is no excuse but i am sorry.
So can anyone help as i do hope so,
Thanks in advance

Sorry Guys Its the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 not the i9500, Its the i9505,
Apologies

it should, because you flashed wrong kernel,
if not, you have to flash the whole stock firmware

Nope the kernal didnt work, So gonna have to try the stock firmware,
that would should 100% work is it?

yes.
maybe you have a corrupted partition due to the wrong flash so you need a pit file with the firmware, see my signature for tutorial

Im reading it now you know where it says: Step 4) unzip the downlowded file (from second or third post), u will get a Home.tar file.
Where do i get that file from what second or third post?

in the same thread, see second post for official stock i9500 download and third post for I9505 stock firmware download

Got it, You know u said i need the pit file with the firmware, what exactly do i do with the pit file after i have downloaded it?

first flash the firmware as pda in odin, if odin gives you "no pit file" when flashing, so you must put I9505 pit file in odin as pit with the firmware as pda and flash. (all explanations are mentioned in my thread :good

Ok downloading the stock fw now ok, ill keep ya updated

thank you thank you thank you, ur a legend it works!!!

[Q] Please help me - Galaxy Note 3 LTE SM-N9005

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !

I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Yeah it doesn't work from setting. So flash it from stock recovery.

Can anyone tell me how is the initial impression of the update?
Performance? Multitasking? Battery?

you have to change numbers on file to 221.21.56. This should be written on OP.

[MM] OTA xt1078 Captured Brazilian Thea

Hey guys, i'm downloading the MM ota file to xt1078 (brazilian version). Once the download is finished, i'll upload and put on this thread.
Cheers!
EDIT: The download ended. Only for knowledge purposes, the ota file is storaged on /data/data/com.motorola.cc.ota/app_download/
Link to the OTA File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwray3U603G8UlE0a3JPQTNvMkU/view?usp=sharing
Mega Link: https://mega.nz/#!EktFAAZC!zg5_8jVagLh_NUosFbfAJlT35D9PvkRCf-v4tEmKO78
Tutorial:
1 - Download the file above and put in the root of your internal storage.
2 - Go to bootloader mode, choose recovery option. Once in recovery option, you'll see NOTHING. Don't worry, press the power button and click in Volume +. Will appear some options, choose "apply update from Sd Card" (or anything like that).
3- Your phone will reboot and you will get the 6.0 Brazilian Marshmallow
4- BE HAPPY!
PS: If there any modifications to the system folder (Root, xposed, any system app removed) won't work. You have to be on a 'clean' stock version.

Nice to know.. awaited!

The Rom on filefactory is the Firmware file (all files of the system, boot, and others that will be flashed by fastboot). The archive that is on the thread is the OTA (over the air) file, that is to upgrade the 5.0.2 version to 6.0 on retail brazil version.

I don't think so. I wouldn't recommend it. You may brick your phone... Maybe you should check on xt1072 forum if someone has had success doing that.

Both are Thea. Mine is XT1072 too. Can anyone please confirm will it work and is there any difference between those two model without the number?

1)Downloadimg the stock ROM.....
-Go to sammobile.com.
-Search for your model (i9500) in the firmwares section.
-filter the list by choosing the country you're from.
-Download the latest firmware that exist there.
(if you want to skip the above steps, tell me where are you from and i will get you a good link )
2)Flashing....
-After downloading the firmware, extract it to get the md5 file.
-Download the latest samsung usb drivers and install it(google it).
-Download Odin program (i suggest Odin 3.09 or 3.07)
-Open Odin, and press the button that says PDA or AP in some versions, and load the firmware md5 file.
-Boot into download mode by switching off the phone and holding (power button & home button & volume down) till you get the prompt screen, then press the volume up button once.
-Connect your phone to PC and then check if the Odin log says "Added!!" and then press start.
Wait for it to boot.

There is no difference, the one you downloaded as one file works the same as the 4 files, no need to download anything else.
