i have a UK i9505, was locked to 02, but i followed the builtin samsung menus to allow any make of SIM
i installed clockwork recovry and that worked fine, but...
i had a backup on the internal emulated sd card, and moved it to a 32gb official samsung class 109 32gb external
of course that died and took the backup with it,,,
since then i have got messages that samsung music and amazon kindle crash every time i reboot, so i decided a new CFW was in order.
i DLed 4 zips from ]hxxp://alchemistar.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/samsung-galaxy-s4-lte.html and all the instructions said "backup, wipe caches, including dalvik and data/ factory reset. then install from from sd"
but the backup i took in recovery mode failed, though i didnt know it at the time
and NONE of the ZIPs will install, i have 1 error message picture to show at hxxp://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m291/xakmad/DSCF2676.jpg[/URL]
because it never finished, i can ONLY get to either recovery (thank goodness) or it'll sit on the samsung logo for hours
can anyone help me please? i have looked all over the web but everywhere just says do those instructions again
worth noting that each of the 4 ZIPS - i have Dled them on PC and tested them for errors in WinRAR, all are 'good'. However, the s4 doesnt like them

i dont quite know where's wrong exactly, but i suggest you might try a stock samsung rom flashed by odin.

I cant full wipe, cuz I have to go in to recovery for that, and It dose not work. Now I'm trying to get my data working, so I can try with s-voice method.
Well that didn't work...
Ok, I'm done for the night.
Status:
- Phone works.
- Wifi Dose not work.
- I managed to get data working So I have Internet connection.
- Can not reset the phone.
- Can not access the recovery (Tried to flash recovery in Odin I get trough fine, but at the end it says failed because of protection for writing or something like that..)
-
First of all I have to say that I've created this account just to share what I did with this problem. It took me, after doing dozens of hard reset and flashing firmwares, 10 minutes. Maybe, the seller never activated the phone (that's what happened to me) and this screen is appearing by mistake. So what you have to do if this is your case is to connect the headphones that came with the phone and press the button for 1-2 sec. Then the SVoice will apear and there you can use voice commands. So you just say "Start Settings" and it will open the setting where you have to activate the reactivation lock (maybe isn't necessary, but that way worked) but this time using your samsung account. Then you just have to do a factory reset (from the settings, not from the recovery) and your phone will be unlocked. It will restart and then you can set it up normally. Hope this works for you as it do for me.

THAT method didn't work. It only opens the settings, not the initial set up..
-
goto accessibility option which is available on the first screen where you select language..then goto text to speech option..then from the settings goto install voice data and try to download any language..it will ask you to enter samsung account details...enter your own samsung account details..once the download is complete..go back to screen where it was showing abnormal factory reset adn then enter your samsung account..it will go through..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THAT method Didn't work also, I cant factory reset the phone...
- When I try to reset the phone from the settings, it just closes..
- If I try to press reactivation lock, it force close on me (Settings)
- What I've want to do: I want to flash any kind of STOCK rom to my phone using odin, I don't have any intention to flash any other custom rom until CM or some kind of stock rom comes out.. Now I'm not in hurry cuz my phone works, but It would be nice to use wifi as normal..
Thanks for the help brother @Killberty
I will press thanks to anyone who tries to help me, or actually helps me with that problem.
Have a good night.
Cheers!

If you have the note booted, can't you turn reactivation lock off and try flashing again?
Flashing with reactivation lock caused the problem, turning off might fix BUT I would probably flash a official rom using Mobile Odin Pro...
Hmm, I cant turn it off. Settings force closes on me..
However I didn't try mobile odin, it might work!
Will try it now, and I'll report back.
Edit: Mobile Odin flash worked, but now my phone doesn't want to boot..
It booted, but the first thing I saw was: Unfortunately Samsung Keyboard stopped...
I thought to myself, ok no bigge, I'll go trough initial setup, and then install some other keyboard.. but then the problem appeared..
This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you.
Superb! I did sign in with my account, before.. But what to do now? My keyboard doesn't' work and I can't bypass this screen. I can get to recovery (normal not rooted) I cant root the phone, because Odin fails, I cant flash stock firmware because odin fails.. what now? I hate Samsung with so much passion I cant describe it right now.. WHY THE F**U***C****K DID THEY HAD TO DO THAT?!
And I can't just take my phone back to service, because my knox is 0x1 woohooo.. GREAT HARDWARE most idiotic software that I've ever seen.. Even Apple is ahead of Samsung, I swear!
Btw I've brought that phone becuse of large screen 3gb ram and Cyanogen mod in future! Not because SAMSUNG SH!T
Hahah np if the keyboard doesnt work
Plug in an usb keyboard and there u go
EDIT: umm yeah knox warranty boid does not void your warranty, i read of many (20+) ppl who got warranty anyways

Yea maybe not in your country, but it mine it does.. I have to find usb keyboard to plug in first, don't have any at hand.. @Killberty
I've thought I could try to install some custom rom using adb sidelod, but I cant seem to know how to get it working..
I also don't understand why I cant install stock rom using, I mean wtf?!I've owned, Xcover, S1, S2, S3, Note from Samsung line of phones and every single one was ok with stock rom odin flash.. What the hell is wrong with my phone?

I flashed latest stock 4.3 with odin. Everything went fine except for one thing:
When i open up the stock video player all my video thumbnails are static/not moving. They did move on previous firmwares but not on the latest 4.3. Is there some setting i missed?
I even did factory reset but that didnt work...

before flashing any firmware (if you are not restoring /system etc..) do wipe cache, data, dalvik cache.
So reflash firmware again, use PIT file.

Im not rooted. Only flashed stock with odin. I am a bit scared to use pit file. So only flashed stock firmware with odin. Then factory reset with damsung recovery, vol up and power. This is the only thing that doesnt work. Everything else works flawlessly no fcs

1. You use GT-I9505 model - so your pit file is HERE to download at the bottom. You will find it (if not - press CTRL+F, type pit and browser will show you)
2. We all scared to brick our expensive strong and powerful device, but... If you want to fix everything, you need to go to CWM (or install first it), wipe user data, cache, dalvik cache. Then Plug in your device to Computer, use Odin (I recommend 3.09 because it worked for me - flashed successfully) select PIT file on PIT, select restore HUGE file (probably called home) and mount on AP... Start flashing it...
I don't know what repartition file does but use it is good if you want to restore your mobile phone correctly. I always use for my galaxy S4 and galaxy ace... If I am wrong about PIT, but I always use it and succeed everytime

Thanks. Tried this already yesterday. Still had no preview tumbnails until this morning. They magically move again. Guess it has something to do with media indexing....

If you go to video player app (samsung) you will see your list of movies. The tumbnsils should let you see a preview of the videos. In my player they were all static and would not display a preview. But it does now, and i didnt change anything.

this is my second note 3. first one rooted it tripped knox warrenty, installed philz cwm anf flashed kitkat 4.4.2. everything was great for a few weeks till I done 2 nandroid backups. I tried to move them to pc which was not a problem, but when I came to delete them from internal memory they would not delete I believe due to the write protection enable. so long story short got phone replaced under warrenty even with knox tripped (lomg story). I just flashed kitkt 4.4 and rooted my device and flashed philz cwm, I came to copy my last nandroid backup to internal memory to do a restore and it wont let me. it says this device is no longer connected. but I can go into any other directory and copy it. can somebody plz help????????????

If I were you I would do a nandroid backup onto an external SD, that way in case I can't boot and push files into the phone's internal storage, I will always be able to restore from extSD.
You shod use with the best recovery TWRP
really best

Your asking for trouble!
Your backup is for a different phone,the hardware will have different id's etc.
In short,don't even bother.
So cause i got a new phone even thou its still a note 3 n9005. It has a diffrent id? When i lot titainium backup it says would you like to restore previous phone id. Would that fix it?

Never restore Device A's Nandroid on Device B. It will brick.
You can use a Play Store app to extract parts of a Nandroid to your device without bricking.
Thanks nicholaschum for the good advice. What play store app can I use?
