Hello everyone, I have a SCH-R970C from Cricket that I have been trying yo flash with GT-I9505 firmware. I did get it to flash with Omega's rom. The problem is it keeps giving me the error that com.android.phone has stopped. My guess is due to the modem being the stock R970C still. I have been trying to flash this with a GT-I9505 modem and it keeps failing in ODIN. I have tried flashing it to SGH-I337M for Bell SCH-R970C to take it back to stock and nothing seems to work (they all fail in ODIN). Now today i noticed before it fails it says response from bootloader then it fails. Now I am assuming the bootloader is locked. The R970 file i was trying to flash was a US cellular one does anyone have a stock from for a Cricket on as I can't seem to find one. Also would that one flash if it is a bootloader locked. I do have another cricket s4 if there was a way to retrieve complete rom from it. Thanks so much in advance.

Cricket is a CDMA Carrier. You need to stick with CDMA ROMs.

Thank you Craptain Krunch, I was aware that Cricket was CDMA. I was doing research and it appears that the base phone is the same between all carriers with the exception of the I9500 it is the software that determines what carrier it belongs to. I was trying to make it into a world phone and have the capability of using it on CDMA and GSM. Part of the reason of the post was to obtain a Cricket rom so I can flash it back to Cricket and at least make it useable on their network again. I was also wondering if I could copy a flashable rom from my wifes S4. Again thank you for any info given. I greatly appreciate the help.

I'll see if I can find you a stock Cricket ROM, then explore which ROMs may work for you.

I can only find US Cellular:
Model: SCH-R970
Country: USA
Version: Android 4.2.2
Changelist: N/A
Build date: N/A
Product Code: USC
PDA: R970VXUAMDL
CSC: R970USCAMDL
MODEM: R970VXUAMDL
DOWNLOAD
You CANNOT flash an i9505 modem.
I'm assuming this phone has a SIM slot?

I've also found this:

You can probably flash custom ROMS for US Cellular
To make it a world phone, you need the SIM card slot unlocked
You can only flash CDMA modems
Yes Sir, it does have a sim card slot but it does not have the regular commands to unlock the sim slot. I contacted Cricket about having it unlocked and I must say they are not very intelligent lol. After about 5 phone calls and escalation I did end up getting a unlock code but no way to put it in. As per the rom I did try to flash a us cellular one from sammobile. I will try this one and get back to you. I greatly appreciate the help as I have been banging my head against the wall on this for a week. Luckily I still have my SII.

With CDMA phones you have to enter a service code containing the unlock code to unlock it, or insert a non-approved SIM and the unlock code prompt will pop up.

I have tried a bunch of tricks, when you insert the non approved sim it does not pop up the unlock window. I then tried:
#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
#0111*UNLOCKCODE#
#7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code

How do I find out. It is an omega rom that is in it right now. As for factory which is what was in it when i tried to unlock it first it was factory cricket. So if i am correct i believe it would have been touchwiz.

Both of those ROMs are TW, and the codes nor the unapproved SIM brought up the prompt on either ROM?

Hello Craptain Krunch. I tried the two options you gave me. The one from prepaids unleashed did go into the phone and then I did the super su update as the site said but it still stayed on the I9505 so it appears the file was just a kernel.

Flash a stock debloated ROM. You may have to install PhoneUtil.apk for the codes to work.

I haven't been able to find a stock Cricket Rom. I can find lots of US Cellular but they don't want to play nice lol. I tried the phoneutil on the GT-I9505 rom wouldn't let it install. If I could get back to stock I will try it. Do you know how to extract a good rom from a working phone? Thanks.

I know how to extract individual partitions.
So I got the phoneutil.apk to run on my wife's phone. It opened the network lock entry window. The code Cricket gave me for her phone did not work but I can work with Cricket on that. Now to figure out how to get a stock version of Cricket software to get mine back to stock. Or download the rom from my wife's phone if anyone knows how to do that out there I would be very greatfull. Thank you very much to Craptain Krunch for all the help.
Ok, so.... I found a stock cricket rom, flashed it and now have my cricket phone back. Woooohooooo. But..... now when I try to connect to wifi it gives me an error "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions and has stopped loading. To protect your device it is recommended you reboot." Rebooted and keeps giving me the error. It for some reason superSU is stilled installed even with new software and a factory reset. Would this cause this error? Thanks.

Please help me I am thinking of setting it on fire!!!
Try install Kies and try again...

tried with old kies and kies 3 as well.Also tried older drivers.
Do i have a locked BootLoader?This shouldnt be the case as it is an n9005.
Any way to check if bootloader is locked and if so any way to unlock it for the international version?
Thanks!
No one?
Doesn't any one know how to help?Don't know where else to ask.

I had the same issue while rooting my Galaxy S4,tried on every other laptop,different ports,cables and more but then I realized I was using the wrong file.
Yes,the international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.Are you able to boot your phone into Download mode?I am sure u cant boot into Recovery mode,can you?
First go back and check your phone's model no and use the proper file and try again!I will help you,dont worry!
I deactivated the reactivation lock but still the same problem.I have Downloaded the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar file several times same thing every time.My last chance is doing a full wipe of the system and then trying again.I hope orange Romania CSC does't have some sort of security block.
Frustrating thing is the phone is fully functional so i cannot ask for a replacement.And even after the dozens of failed flash attempts it still reads 0x0.
YES!!!Finally.A full wipe did it.!Thank you for your interest in helping me.

Before you wanna flash. Don't forget to uncheck reactivation lock, put off your external sd card. And look carefully for your modem and radio. Don't switch with the another kernel before official launch comes.

Help please, I have a (Note 3) SM-N900V on JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE.
I bought it on Jan 12th ish, and took the firmware update as soon as I saw it because of some reading I had done.... shouldn't have done that I guess.
I am still totally unable to root this thing, Kingo, Odin v3.0.9. I am willing to do w/e (go back to older firmware even if possible)
I know there are no guarantees in this attempt, and would not hold you to anything, I have rooted every other android I have had and am very familiar with the process, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

Thank a lott!!!already rooted!!!!
So my Girlfriend wanted a free hotspot on her phone, so i rooted her phone without issue and looked up how to get a free hotspot, i followed this video to the T (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYTis-i7HA4)
Unfortunately the phone stopped working, and double unfortunately i was being stupid as hell and didnt bother to backup the rom before installation. so i figured to fix the problem i would just flash a custom ROM on their, one that included hotspot. i THOUGHT her phone was an i9505 model s4. i ended up flashing an i9505 rom to her phone and it SEMI work (she cn sms and call but she doesnt get data and a lot of the apps dont work correctly) i tried flashing the stock rom back onto her phone using odin but it immediately fails everytime, i also tried to flash it using CWM but that also immediately fails. i really need to get her phone working and i will be checking this thread every 5 minutes or so, so if there is any more information you need from me, please ask and i will respond ASAP, i really need the phone fixed by tonight, also, if someone is willing to skype me and walk me through everything so i cna get it done ASAP, if you succesfully fix my phone ill shoot you 25 bucks (yo uwould send me an invoice from payapl or something and id pay the invoice with a credit card)
Thanks in advance guys! I definitely learned my lesson on backing things up! lol

Well, first you need to make sure what phone you are using. You said you thought you had a i9505 but you tried to flash the tar file for the Sprint GS4 (SPH-L720) which is the L720VPUFNG2 (NG2) file you refer to in the Odin readout above. Finally, in your edit, in Odin Mode you are showing the product name SPH-L720T. The 720T is the triband version of the Sprint Galaxy S4. I believe the tar file for the 720T is the NG5. I am not sure what trying to Odin a NG2 tar will do to a 720T phone but it would seem you may. On the Q&A page about two threads below your thread are threads for ROMs tested on the 720T as well as an everything you need to know about the 720T thread. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621862). I would look at those two threads to see if you can find a ROM or tar that works on your version. I am almost positive you will find both. To be safe, if you phone is a 720T, I would probably odin back to stock with the proper tar, regroup and start over with new root and the correct ROM. (read read read read and read again before you start flashing) If it is the 9505, there is another forum for that phone. If it is actually the L720, then you have bigger problems. Start by deleting and reinstalling drivers, download the tar file again, make sure you are using a good USB cord and try again. I am still relatively new but if I can help further, let me know.

Glad to hear you got her phone fixed. Doesn't mean you are out of the doghouse but at least you will not be in it as long.
well I was going to flash a custom ROM for her after we got the stock one in, but all the ROMS for her model are lame as hell and are ugly as heck. and they are all google based.

If all you originally wanted was free hotspot, take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621862
Use CF-AutoRoot to root, and then use either Galaxy Tools app or telephony.db edit to get free hotspot. This is a tried and true hotspot solution for the 720T. There are links/instructions for both in OP of the above thread. I can personally vouch for these. I used them to root and get free hotspot and all has been golden. No issues whatsoever.
Compared to what you've already been through with this phone, these mods should be a piece of cake.
Pro Tip: Once you've added native hotspot, add a toggle to the notification bar. There are links in the above thread to do it manually. But the easiest way to do it is with the Galaxy Tools app. There's an option in it that says "Add all Notification Toggles" that will add every imaginable toggle to the notification bar - including of course the hotspot toggle.
Okay, so i purchased a brand new samsung note 3 sm-n9005 from hong kong, and its been running perfectly,
here are some specs
android version= kitkat 4.2.2
baseband version = N9005ZHUENF1
kernel version = 3.4.0-722276
built number =KOT49H.N9005ZHUENF1
so far so good, everything seems legit, but then i wanted to upgrade to lollipop so i downloaded the necessary samsung drivers, kies software, odin 3.09,
and the hong kong version of the lollipop 5.0 firmware "N9005ZSUGOC3"
but soon as i click start
it shows fail

and as i was inspecting the error on the oden on my phone, i noticed
the product name on my phone is SM-N900A which makes no sense.
to further examine i went to the recovery and it shows
android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2
now i am really confused as to what phone i have, the box, documentations, and with in the phone settings everything points to n9005. where as oden and "volume down + power + home" menu shows n900a
and
"volume up + power + home" recovery menu also shows n900a.
what should i do to upgrade to lollipop, what phone do i really have?
What does it say under the battery?
Did you buy from a reliable seller or could it be a knock-off phone?
There's an app on Play you could use - Phone INFO Samsung. DL it and run and see what it tells you.

So after a while of trying to flash different roms, turns out, it is a n900a
So after a while of trying to flash different roms, turns out, it is a n900a, it is authentic, its not a fake, everything checks out, but the retailer was from hong kong, and they buy the phones on bulk, so the guy distrubuting the phones, has flashed the n9005 rom on to it,
after flashing the n900a lollipop, the phone has been working as good as it should, i have had no problems whats so ever, it just amazes me as to what lengths people would go to deceive and cheat the customers.
anyways, thank you for your replys, hope you all have an amazing time,

just flash this,
it is the official android 5.0 lollipop for n900a (atnt). works like a charm, and if you have to, just disable all the atnt apps,
there is no difference other then the fact that it shows a atnt logo on boot.

Bricked 900A or maybe N9005!!?? Help
I do hope someone can help me. I have a bricked note 3 which appears to have been bogus for reasons the same as the above. Recovery mode States SM-
Official
Samsung official
But the sticker on the back shows N9005 and the serial is not recognized by keis.
I rooted it using let it rain and tried to flash a recovery to it which then failed and gave me an att&t warning when turning on. I then tried again to flash stock and it now gets to the Samsung logo and no further. I have never been able to flash anything with Odin due to fail (auth) at various stages. Was trying N9005 stock but having read the above tried 900 A From sammobile which also failed at the same point. Running out of ideas and patience, can anyone help? The attached was taken prior to me doing anything.
What model does it say in download mode ??
Hi guys, looking for a little help / advice.
I have a UK Galaxy S4 (I9505) which is rooted and running CM12.01 ROM.

I think he wants to say that you should try and flash a ROM with the same baseband you currently have.
You could also try another windows. Windows 7 always worked for me, but Windows 10 gave me some problems.

No. Odin does version checking to confirm that the firmware actually is for the device it is being flashed upon and will fail on a mismatch.
It sounds to me however that you might possibly have a Frankenphone, since you should not be able to install a Sprint bootloader on an international device. Would you please enter Download Mode and read off the model number posted on the screen? This is just to confirm that you really do have an I9505, and not another device masquerading as one.

Thanks for the reply..... I had already attempted to install the stock ROM I mentioned above, and It actually worked...
I just went into the Download mode, and checked the product number which now says SPH-L720T.. I also checked this in the "about device" section on the phone, which now gives the same info..... But I'm almost certain it said I9505 last time..
Is this going to be a problem, or should the phone just carry on as normal now ?
Thanks again

The "about device" info can be changed very easily. You could make it show that your device is a S7 and is running iOS.
Download mode info is hard-coded.
So your device always was, and will be, a SPH-L720T
And since it's a Sprint phone, there is one major thing to keep in mind. In the UK and on the European continent, that phone will not get LTE service. The radio in the phone expects to see American channels and won't pick up the European ones. This is like my S4, but only in reverse. In my case, my S4 expects European channels as it's an I9505 and doesn't see American channels.
The only exception to the above is if the original owner managed to rewrite the Qualcomm chip to enable European bands.

This is what I don't understand....As I said, I am almost certain, that this used to say GT I9505, and was definitely an LTE version. I have used this phone on 4G networks. The phone was purchased in the UK direct from EE as a network upgrade. Could something I have done have messed this up ? and anyway to restore it ?

I highly doubt it did.
I don't think the info displayed in download mode can be modified. Even if it can, I doubt it is an easy process to do. And flashing different ROMs is 100% not going to change it.
Download mode is similar to the bios of a PC, as I believe it's installed on the phone's motherboard itself, just like a PC's bios.

Unfortunately, the fact the stock ROM won't install leads me to think you have a hardware issue. On a working device Odin would not reject the firmware intended for the device. At worst it would simply not attempt to replace the bootloader.
Truth be told, with the S4 being over four years old now, it may be best to cut your losses here and work on getting a newer device. In fact, in your position I would look on Swappa for an unlocked device from T-Mobile, then get a hold of Straight Talk and request a BYOD SIM.

I called Straight Talk, Tracfone, and Samsung and they didn't help me at all. Every USB cable, every port, every cable, every laptop, ODIN always fails. I guess I'm just gonna get a new phone, so RIP.
Straight Talk/Tracfone are noted for poor customer service when you call them. You get better results by initiating a chat session with them. Regardless, it's no surprise you got the brush-off from everyone. The phone is old, is no longer sold and is no longer supported by its manufacturer.
If you want to stick with getting Samsung devices from Straight Talk but the S7 on an installment plan is too rich for you, look to the Sky J7 as an alternative. Personally, I'd go the Swappa route and get a device that way.
The aboot.mbn file is the bootloader and will sometimes fail to flash if the OEM Samsung cable isn't used with Odin 3.07.
