Factory mode and powering off problem in 4.3

Hi guys!
Well i've updated my i9500 to 4.3 recently and it´s working just fine except this two details:
1- Every time I turn on the phone with the wifi previously activates, it automatically goes off and delivers a floatie message saying the "factory mode is on, wifi will be disabled...", and something else i never get to read because it goes away..
I tried turning off factory mode from root explorer, did full wipe and nothing..
2- The Power button just turns off the screen and powers off the device with long press.. never gives me the power off/reboot/airplane mode menu..
This started happening with the india UEMJ8 firmware and then i instaled WanamLite but still having both issues.. Obiously i performed wipes and everything..
Any help will be welcome..
My regards to all of you

Your EFS folder is empty by the sounds of it.
Or you have a corrupt EFS partition.
Both are pretty serious and quite hard to recover from, it happened to me.

D803 stuck while flashing stock at 49%

Hey guys,
I have hit a dead end. I am stuck on a bootloop with no recovery installed. Actually, I do have Phliz recovery installed but it glitches everytime i try to go on it, I cant see anything apart from blurred lines. I tried flashing to stock using Lg support tool but I get stuck at 49%. Searching through XDA, I found that I have to wipe system/factory reset but I cant do that with a glitchy recovery.
What I have not tried:
- A different computer, I dont think it will help because I need to wipe the system which I cant
- ADB, i dont know how to do it
Is there anyway i can factory reset using the computer. Or is is it possible to flash another recovery such as TWRP by going into the glitchy Philz.
Any help will be much appreciated

Can you navigate the recovery menu using the volume keys? If you can then you might be able to use it blindly if you look at some screen shots of it!

Haha i tried that and I dont know if it worked but somehow the recovery started working and the first thing i did was to wipe the system. The problem im facing right now is with the LG support tool, it doesnt detect my device. Manually putting in my serial number and model doesnt help either. Using KDZ flash tools is another pain in the ass, it goes straight to the LG Support Tool without asking me to choose Country and Language

Are you on windows 8? And which guide are you following?

Why don't you just flash stock rom in Odin? Before try taking the battery out wait a few seconds put it back in and Press volume up home and power

Maybe you post some pics. Best would be if you download the correct firmware and also check the bootloader. Did you flash kitkat from 4.3 or was it always 4.4?

it was always kitkat..n i feel ur right about the bootloader thing cuz im trying to flash the bootloader and it wont go tru idk why

There is a free program for Windows called "My Phone Explorer". It has the "monitor" feature (you'll see the screen of your Note 3 on your pc). You can check if it's only a software problem. I used it for unroot my S3 with cracked screen, try it
Envidado desde mi Note 3.

thanks also for ur reply ..i just downloaded the "my phone explorer" as u instructed to me..the only problem is my usb debugging is not on ..n i cant turn it on :/

It's in settings, general, developer mode. Which you activate by going to my device and clicking a couple of times on build number. If you have access to your phone settings that is.

Bootloop zuk z1

Hello everyone,
a few days ago my phone restarted. I didn't try to install a custom rom or something.. It just keeps starting up.
So I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache etc.. The phone starts but after starting the apps it is in a bootloop again.
It has something to do with my broken fingerprint scan I think because I saw it earlier in this forum with that problem too.
Is there any way to fix this ? I Can go into bootloader but oem unlocking and advanced reboot isn't on...
Hopefully someone can help me!
Ruben

If you're able to boot into bootloader, try to factory reset and see if you can boot up(all data is gone!). If not, the qfil method is the next step to flash cos from scratch.

Ok i will try this! Thanks for the quick reply btw !

In step 2 I need to turn on USB debugging. How can I do this if my phone can't startup? Normally you need to go to developer options. But it is not possibly now..
This worked for me ! Thanks for the help !

J5 not booting up

First it started right into Odin Mode. After holding Volume Down and Power to exit it, the screen went black (as expected). However, afterwards it won't boot up again. Tried normal boot, recovery and download. Removed the battery and put it again, didn't work. Also tried various cables and outlets. Tried the sequence for download mode (holding Power + Volume Down + Home, then pressing Volume Up - even if it didn't show anything on screen) and connected it to my PC. The computer played the sound as if a device was connected, then after some seconds Windows said that the USB device was not recognized. Odin did not recognize it either. Samsung 300K tool doesn't work as well. Do you have any suggestions, please? It's quite urgent.

Try installing official device drivers Inform us after that what's happening. Thank you

I can't. It's not booting at all. Never rooted it or changed its ROM.

You mean it doesn't even show download mood or recovery mood?

Yes, not even the charging battery logo when it is powered on. Tried using an USB Jig, fails as well.

I'm sorry to say that.. It's a hardware related issue... U need to take it to service center to repair Thank you

I've flashed marshmallow stock on stock lollipop via Odin but after completion J500H boots and immediately resets or off after first boot screen appears. so please help that why this problem is here???
Also please tell that custom ROM can be installed on the J500H or not ( bootloops and restart issue immediately)

Is it possible to flash again? If yes...
Then first wipe delvik cache then flash again, before flashing make sure to untick auto reboot on odin's log option... After flashing done don't reboot immediately first wipe delvik cache then restart...
If it doesn't allow you to flash then u need to take it to service center...
Yes it's possible to install custom rom using Odin but sometimes it fails if usb debugging is not enabled! You can search on Google for that or any thread here.
