Hello all,
Have been reading this forum for a long time and it has helped me out many times in the past and for that I am grateful to you all. I am relatively new to the s4 but I have a galaxy tab and am comfortable with flashing and using command line utilities and all the goodies that come along with them. (Toooo comfortable lol).
My dilemma is as follows. I stupidly moved some "bloat" apps from system to user and forgot before I was forced to do a factory restore. Now certain items such as optical reader and other apps are gone. I have looked for the carrier specific rom from fido but can not find it. Could someone please point me in the proper direction?
Also what's the most stable and functional rom that can dual boot for the sgh-i337m.?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. Any ideas on where to get the files for fido for odin? Or am I missing something. Still relatively new to this world, ios was my main domain still figuring things out here.

Go to sammobile.com. You have to register but it's free. They'll have the stock firmware specific to your device and carrier.

Thanks for the help. Exactly what i was looking for. How do I thank you on the forum?
Also which rom is the most stable with working components(wifi,camera,etc), can dual boot and that has a kernel that supports force ac charge.

Your EFS is warped, flash THIS and it'll fix it for you. This happens at random and isn't really a user error IMO

Umm not sure if it can be done without, you could try and if no good you'd have to use one.
Get yourself an sd card. You can't access internal memory so you are screwed until you get one...
You need to also tell us what version of Android you are on as the can be a deciding factor in what you need to do... Some things that will fix one version of android won't help the next... If you don't know what this means you should do A LOT of reading before trying this stuff again, read about Kitkat and Jellybean...

You right, i should read about it alot more.
I rooted my Galaxy s Advanced already with a noob guide, so i fould it would be easy to do it again.
Guys, im verry frustrated now, im a real noob who fold he could do this easily, without thinking or reading anything i tried to flash my demo unit.
Now i have a huge problem because this phone is not mine.
Anyone who has a solution, the thing earlier pronounced in this topic didnt help.
Get yourself a stock rom and flash it using ODIN and stock recovery might do the trick but make SURE you flash the CORRECT ROM.
Correct rom depends on what you had running. If you where running kitkat you MUST flash kitkat again. If you had 4.3 you better stick to that until it's up and running again.

Ahh, not you did not mention you had a DEMO unit. That changes everything.. As DEMO unit's don't have radio's in them so you cannot flash a modem from what I am aware..

DEMO units don't have radios?
That's new to me.
So Samsung actually goes through the effort of separately manufacturing them....weird Sammy.

Yeah they don't have a radio on the MB - guess it's to stop people actually using the device early etc -- They use specially adapted firmware also

In my country (India), they just keep the Snapdragon version (official is the Exynos) for DEMO pieces and just rely on the region lock to keep people out.
I tried so hard to buy one of them, but nobody agreed. Finally got mine from overseas.

It's quite easy. Slow down. Read through the stickies and how to's on the Q&A and Development sections. Read through the entire posts of those OPs and you have ALL your answers.

Just download the MK2 full tar from random45 in the development section and use odin to install it. Done.
I have trying to find information on this for awhile and I am very surprised that the same question is not posted more often.
Every time I install an n900t rom (I install the wifi fix as well) I run into the issue of no data connection (my 4g/lte). Now as I read more and more it seems it must be a modem issue? I have looked around for a telus 4.4.2 mode file and cannot find one. Does anyone know where I could get such a file and also can I just load that on after I install the t mobile rom? I love the custom rom and it ducks because obviously I need my data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
apparently it might be a radio and not a modem? I'm a bit lost here. Perhaps I have to load a csc file?

If you're not getting data, have you checked the settings or manually created APN for your carrier?

Hi, this file is in trash- would you recover it so i can download it? I have also done somethingwrong and am trying to flash the stock firmware back to my phone!
Thanks!
I can only get to download mode on my SM-930A. System status official. FAP lock on. Secure Download enabled. Is there anyone that can give me any type of suggestion on the issue? I can't seem to take a snap of the screen due to the forum administrator. I really would like to like to get this device up and running again. Please and thank you!

So, I'm at a total and complete loss as to what to do. I have spent hours upon hours googling, and searching xda and trying step after step after guide after guide and I canNOT fix my S5! I've tried recovery, I've tried Odin and there has got to be something I'm missing. When I plug up the phone into my laptop, it sort of recognizes it, in the sense that it makes the notification noise of it being recognized, as with any external device. Odin picks it up as well. The issue is when trying to boot up the phone, it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S5 custom, android etc screen. it will not go past this. i'm almost in tears right now, and just want to get the phone working again. Is there anyone out there that can help???
Tiny update.
So I tried another method, and still having issues. Only difference is, I get past the powered by android screen, but then when getting to the Samsung with the color and oval it freezes and shuts down. One step forward, 2 steps back.
which G900 model do you have? like is it a G900F? Mine is a G900P

it is the 900a (at&t). after spending hours upon hours. i finally managed to do something and get it back to working again. the band and the firm ware match, and i managed to get rid of the unauthorized actions detected message.
good to hear!! (or see, rather LoL) usually a flash in Odin with the correct tarball fixes most issues with S5's

well, let's just say i have a folder of 26 links, majority from here on trying to find a solution on how to root and consequently unbrick my phone when I messed it up. that's probably not even all of them. I only posted on one asking a question, but it was about upgrading the firmware (still waiting on a reply on that, lol). so I have no clue which post it was that was finally successful in restoring my phone.
