[Q] Unable to Unroot i9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am sorry if this has been asked here earlier.
The only s4 available in my country is the 9500.
I rooted the phone after i bought solely for the reason that I can delete the bloatware.
I happened to com across this MOD which makes the statusbar transparent.
Once I did that, the phone started acting funny.
I want to start over with the official stock rom.
I tried doing that by installing the official stock firmware using ODIN 3.07. Then wiped data and cache from the recovery.
It still boots with the transparent statusbar. Feels like the system files are unchanged.
Anyway I can get a fresh offcial stock rom on the device ?
Any help is of great help.

Hi,
Look HERE
I think you need to factory reset as well.
So, back up your stuff first.

I used the same tutorial to flash my phone with an official firmware. The only thing I changed was the firmware file because theres a newer version available.. the latest stock firmware was downloaded at sammobile..
please help. Is it necessary to reset the binary to 0 using triangle away for the firmware to install properly ??

installed XXUEMJ5 but now device status custom

Hi all
today I installed the jellybean 4.3 XXUEMJ5 update but since installing it it has made my device status go fro official to custom
before the update I was not rooted or anything
can anybody help me get it back to official please
There's a way to get your status back to official if you are using a i9505 I think.
Otherwise (i900 or i9505g) I don't think it's possible.
ye I need to get my device back to official
How can it go from CUSTOM? this is an offical STOCK FIRMWARE from samsung.... ? doesn't make sense...
something isn't right.... when i always update my firmware to a newer one for 4.22 it always says offical.
Yes I know it doesnt make sense thats why im asking for help
Have you tried Factory reset or reinstalling the firmware?
Depends how you upgraded. Did you download a Rom and flash via Odin? If yes, are you absolutely sure it was the official and not a modified one?

Probably needs a factory reset. Don't disable any apps and are you using 64gb card?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
You need to reinstall the firmware with Odin properly.
I noticed on another thread that you clicked on bootloader button. WRONG. Extract the official Samsung 4.3 firmware file, click on PDA to select the extracted firmware, press start button.
I think you were confused because the leaked firmware had 4 files while official Samsung firmware has I file.
Hi all
Yes I re-flashed the rim using the PDA button and then did a factory reset and every is normal now
Only iv noticed one thing.
The camera as not updated and I thought that jelly bean r.3 included a new camera update.
Something similar happened to me!
Hi!
I've been checking for the 4.3 update on my phone since the announcement that 4.3 update has started. And suddenly yesterday morning I got the message that updates are not available, because my device is custom. Happened overnight, I've only done OTA updates, nothing else and I've had this update for a few weeks at least (maybe even a month), the baseband for the moment is XXUDMH6.
Do you think that it is possible for me to get it back to official in a similar way - flash the same or a newer version, a factory reset and voila?
Are you using a 64GB SD card? Sometimes my phone shows the status as custom, even though it's (currently) totally stock, just because of the SD card.
Take the card out and it goes back to official - strange.
Hey,
I had the same problem on 4.2.2. I had rooted my stock ROM and then updated OTA to MGG and my device status was custom and knox triggered 0x1...I don't really care about device status, but triggering knox really made me mad because I installed fresh rom OTA not some custom ROM ot kernel.. How is this possible? I don't know
Go figure...
Now I flashed with ODIN lastest MJ5 i think and device status is official but what matters knox is 0x1..
I suggest you try factory reset or flash it with ODIN to get back official status so you will be able to update via OTA. There is nothing you can do about knox status for now.
ye well you cannot change the KNOX thing back to OxO
Samsung have already come out and said it is impossible and so have many android developers etc
I wouldn't worry about it anyway its only a KNOX status, I doubt Samsung would refuse to repair your mobile if it needed to be repaired just because of a KNOX status, as long as all the other statuses are OFFICAL etc then it wont matter too much I don't think

[Q] How to go back to official samsung rom ?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 with a carrier rom and I want to have the samsung official rom.
I downloaded the stock from from this link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29362
I tried flashing it with odin V3.09, but when the phone loads it is still with the carrier's rom...
How can I completely remove the carrier's rom and have only the Samsung offical stock rom ?
Should I use Philz recovery to install the rom from zip after a factory reset ?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can't because the bootloader is locked down.
There's still no way to unlock the bootloader right now.

I'm not sure what you want, exactly. The 'carrier' version of TouchWiz isn't super different from the 'standard' TouchWiz. Maybe a few apps are added and the correct APNs and stuff are included. But the base ROM is still TouchWiz.
You can get custom TouchWiz roms that have more features than the stock one, but that look and perform just like the stock one. Those are carrier debloated (usually)
Or you can just root the phone and manually remove all the carrier bloat that you don't like and give yourself a 'pure Touchwiz' rom.
If none of that appeals to you there is also AOSP roms, which have none of the TouchWiz UI and look like like a Nexus device.

Hi mate ,
ILO is the unbranded version , should not have any of the carriers bloatware on it ..but it will have Samsungs....
Did the flashing went ok? if you still have philz recovery installed after flashing something went wrong
BTW bootloader is not locked.
Flashing went fine but with no change at all

Hi mate ,
After flashing what recovery you have installed?
Any Odin errors during flashing?
Check this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Flash the rom with PIT file ( any of the ones you see there) then after you confirm that the flashing went ok flash the ILO firmware

[Q] How to update to 5.0.1

Hi,
Im from the netherlands and noticed that the update for 5.0.1 is available.
I have the Exynos (N910C) version android 4.4.4 rooted installed now.
I have changed dpi settings true xposed.
What is the best way to update to the new version 5.0.1 ?
Thanks,
Roy
I have used the auto root to root the stock rom.
N910C is Exynos, not Snapdragon, so choose your ROM carefully.
Best way to upgrade is to backup everything first, then install new ROM with Odin (download correct version from sammobile), then root using your method of choice (I personally recommend flashing TWRP recovery and choose root on exit).
After that, you can restore everything you need from the backups.

Your device was rooted and no way to upgrade 5.0.1 via OTA. The only way now is download latest Firmware (for your Area) on Sammobile.com or similar website then using Odin to upgrade. Remember: full wipe on recovery first then flashing FW via Odin on Downloadmod.
Thanks for the awnsers. i meant the Exynos, sorry for that.
I havent tryed to update it true normal update way becouse i thought this wasnt possible as my device is rooted.
So i might try if i can do this?
Roy
OTA will fail because you tripped Knox when you rooted.
Besides, lollipop brings a new bootloader, modem and csc, so even if you choose to flash a custom lollipop ROM, you still need to upgrade those using Odin.

thanks,
I have installed the 5.0.1 version true odin without doing a full wipe. I still have all my apps and files and it seems to work oke.
Did i have to do a full because of the battery draining stuff? or is it oke like this?
Roy
Should be fine as it is, but a full wipe once in a while never hurts...
If you notice something wrong, battery drain, lag or even applications force-close, then why not... perform a full wipe and restore your apps and settings gradually.
Make sure you backup everything, i failed my stock update to android 5..0.1 (OTA), and now i still didnt found anyway to get my data back, it remains dead there

I do not think I missed the point. Your original post only mentions KK but not LP which is why I suggested LP. The last line of your original post even states the ROM in use on the phone.

No worries. Thank you for clarifying the situation. Your English is fine.
I don't know which version of Odin you are using but I always use Odin 3.07 because I have never had a problem with 3.07.
Do you have a pit file for your phone? Flashing the pit file with the stock ROM in Odin might solve the problem.

This is coz KNOX blocked the wifi access.
SOLUTION:
1. Flash via ODIN the latest android 4.4.2 version to your device: THIS ONE.
2. Root it via ODIN with CF-Autoroot.
3. Using Root Explorer (for example) delete all the KNOX entries: GUIDE.
4. Reboot your device. You should have wifi now. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset your flash counter to complete the job. Done.

S5 G901F - flashed official FW, doesn't boot

Hi, I had this phone, G901F on which someone flashed a Vodafone Germany FW, but the phone is from Orange Romania so at first I simply wanted to flash its according FW, but turns out Orange Romania only has 4.4.4 so I found the Nordic FW with 5.0.2
I flashed it, phone booted normally afterwords and it was doing the Android is Upgrading process at which I turned it off to reset it from Recovery. So after that it wouldn't boot anymore, after the Samsung logo the notification LED stays on with a blue color and it doesn't do anything, I left it on like that for more than 10 minutes.
I did reflash the FW through Odin again and it still does that. At the moment I'm downloading Germany Vodafone 5.0.2 just to hopefully get it working again but I don't wish to have bloat on it. Would getting the 4.4.4 FW be alright? Would it work afterwords? I imagine that I'll get 5.0.2 through OTA.
Thanks for reading.
Orange ro does have a 5.0.2 Rom. Search on sammobile for it. There's a dedicated thread for s5 plus http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...s5-gs-g901f-user-thread-t2906438?goto=newpost
There is no ORANGE 5.0.2 rom only 4.4.4 correct. but you can install whatever rom you want or custom rom if you dont want bloatwares.

I want to make it stock, the device has warranty papers and everything, so I don't want to mess with it. I have had Samsung phones in the past and I was always able to flash them with stock firmware from sammobile without issues. This however, seems to have problems. The Nordic rom doesn't want to boot at all and I downloaded the RO Vodafone 5.0.2 ROM and it does boot, but doesn't get past the "Android is upgrading" message at startup, it shuts off in the process and then can't turn on without me removing the battery. I did reset it from recovery so I guess I'll just try 4.4.4 Orange and see where that takes me, I was asking if I can do that because I'm not really sure I can downgrade.
Thanks for your answers.
LE. I tried the Orange 4.4.4 FW and it still doesn't boot.
I looked the phone after IMEI and ended up with this result on the website imei.info:
G906S Galaxy S5 LTE-A (SM-G901F)
So I'm kinda confused, since none of the 3 roms that I downloaded for the G901F model didn't work, should I try and download the FW for G906S? It doesn't make sense, everywhere on the phone it says it's G901F: On the sticker beneath the battery, in download mode.. it used to say it in device information too.
There IS a Orange rom for s5 plus, as I previously told you!!

The phone is stuck at boot because you really placed the 4.4 bootloader with a 5 one. You will have to write a 502 Rom or ro download a 4.4.2 rom but with repartition and pit.

The device will work install any 5.0.2 rom after firmware flash you must wipe data factory reset from recovery
@vcosmin ORO is Orange Not ORL
Well the thing is that I tried the 4.4 Rom only after the 5.0 ones failed. So not even that is working.
So flashing the 4.4.4 Rom and ticking repartition and pit is a good ideea? I always saw that you're advised to make sure their unchecked

You always stuck in bootloop if u install from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 if u flash from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 your phone will stuck im bootloop after u flashed with pit 4.4.4 if phone stuck on boot just add pit file and click start in odin. Phone will boot
I was initially on a 5.0.2 ROM and I tried flashing a 5.0.2 ROM which put me in a boot loop. The 4.4.4 ROM was the last one I tried after 3 different 5.0.2 ROMs, so there was no rewriting of the bootloader to begin with. But where do I get the pit file? Do I extract it from the ROM file? Or it does it on it's own?

The phone is stuck at boot because you really placed the 4.4 bootloader with a 5 one. You will have to write a 502 Rom or ro download a 4.4.2 rom but with repartition and pit.
