[Q] IMEI / Baseband dissapeared S4 UK Vodafone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have a galaxy S4 UK Vodafone.
As you can see from the title, my phone suddenly during the day lost signal.
I hadn't flashed a rom for weeks!
I checked when I got home and the IMEI and the baseband are 'Unknown'.
I have the following -
i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2(0611)
ROM = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47326687#post47326687
I tried downloading and flashing official firmware but still the same error.
I read possibly something to do with the baseband?
I hope someone can help with this, as it doesn't look promising.
Thanks in advance

Flash STOCK ROM and try if it solve ur problem: HERE

Thank you for the fast reply.
In my post where I said "I tried downloading and flashing official firmware", it is was that exact stock firmware you just linked to.
VOD-I9505XXUEMK9-20131202101533
And I get the same problem

Also, on first boot of that stock rom, the default language is Polish I think.
Is this bad?

1. Take out ur SIM CARD and try it in other phone till it takes signal
2. Put it back to ur phone and try it again. Take a look if u recovered IMEI and Baseband
3. If that no works, i think u will have to let it in SAT

I don't have a spare phone at the moment, does it have to be a vodafone phone?
Pardon my noobishness, but what does 'let it in SAT' mean?

1. Yes, for try it takes signal and u can catch the baseband and IMEI of that phone
2. Technical Assistance Service

1. Sorry, was that yes as in "Yes I need to put it in a Vodafone phone?"
2. Oh I see, Do they charge a lot of money to fix such a problem?

Could I possibly have the wrong version of the modem installed?

Flash stock rom again using odin 3.09, a rear usb desktop port if you are using a front usb dsktp port, and a different samsung data cable such as s2 or s3 data cable instead s4 stock white cable.

I don't have any other Samsung cables, I have other USB cables, but not Samsung.
Before flashing the stock ROM, I wipe/factory reset in CWM, and wipe dalvik cache.
Is there anything else I should be doing?

I used a different cable, it comes up with the same problems.
These are the steps I followed.
* Open Odin 3.09
* "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are ticked
* Click "AP"
* Select I9505XXUEMK9_I9505VFGEMK2_I9505XXUEMK9_HOME.tar.md5
* Put S4 in Download Mode, Power button and Down-Volume button.
* Connect with new cable, Press start.
I have the modem - I9505XXUEMK9_MODEM
I used the "CP" Option in ODIN To flash the modem.
Are all these steps correct?

Yes, but remember modem sometimes is stubborn . Follow this steps:
1. Use Odin v3.09
2. Untick Autoreboot
3. Flash modem (Usign CP button)
4. Reboot manually (Take the battery off) and go into Download Mode then (using Vol Down plus Home button combi)
5. Flash Modem once more
6. Once done, unplug then reboot device manually.
7. If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

I repeated steps 1-6 twice, still nothing
So if I take it to a SAT (Phone repair shop?) What exactly do they need to do to fix it?
I presume they don't just wave a magic wand

[Q] after new baseband no calls

Hey friends,
I really looked everything up, but I could not find anything what helped me with my problem.
I have a Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505) and I wanted to update my modem from MKE to ML6. Because I had some issues with updating it (there still was the MKE at my "Status" after updating to ML6), I tried to double-overwrite it (someone wrote at a forum, that that will solbe the overwriting method). So, I started Odin 3.09 and deleted the "Auto Reboot" option. After the first flashing, I took out the battery and replaced it again. Then I did a secound modem flashing. The result was: There was still the MKE modem AND I cannot call anyone. Everytime I try to call someone and I click the call button, my Galaxy seems to crash. The screen is getting black and I have to shut it down by holding the power button for several secounds. Of course, I already tried out other modems (like to MKE modem again and MJ8), but the problem still exists.
Could anybody please help me!
Thanks,
Robert
Have you tried changing rom + modem? you cannot just randomly try modems with a certain rom as some will work others not.

it seems that your doing in a wrong way mate Try this , Turn OFF your Phone Manually (Wait about 5 sec) Now press and hold Power+VolumeDown in order to reach Download mode. Open odin select PHONE/CP (Find the modem you download) Connect the cables (check to see if it shows added on top/or should be a blue?Notsure or wait atleast 10 sec) then click start ,once done , remove the cable. and after done rebooting go to you phone setting>More>Device info and check if your baseband version change. have a nice day.

Thanks, but that is what I have done at least ten times. I tried Odin3.04 and Odin3.09. I tried MKE, ML6, MJ8. I tried Google Roms 4.4 and 4.3, as well as other custom roms. That's weird!
I have never had any luck with 3.09 i always stick to 3.07, where are you getting your modems rom?

Which tutorial do you mean?
btw: sending a sms works, as well as receiving....but no incoming or outgoing calls
Had the same thing yesterday, tried all sorts of modems, with no avail.
Ended up flashing a stock rooted Rom (MGA), flashing a custom recovery and restored a Nandroid. Forgot that flashing a complete stock Rom usually also wipes the internal SD so that was a bit of a hassle.
Now, running a new Rom again, with Wifi, sound and being able to make/receive calls again. Easiest fix also: flash a (compatible) stock Rom :good:

Thank you mate. I also found (5 sec before I read your post) this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46969768&postcount=2
So, everything works now. The short version for other guys with the problems is:
- flash stock rom via Odin (PDA)
- you can find the stock rom for your country at sammobile.com
- also use the "pit-file" of the linked post (but I don't know, what the pit-file is changing?!)
optional:
- re-root your device again, because now it is not rooted
- new custom rom
Thanks for every help!!!

Try flashing ML6 Firmware and ML6 Modem (and Wi-Fi fix if needed), had the same issue but after doing so it's fixed.
Occured 1 time again, did a cache wipe didn't occur in 2days now.

Except flashing the Wifi Fix was the thing I did to ruin it all. Don't flash a "new" Wifi fix using an old bootloader. You will lose sound/being able to make calls. It's the thing that messed it all up over here.

I was already on the new bootloader.I've flashed Original FW, Modem + Wi-Fi fix and it fixed my phone. (Possibly also PIT but can't remember)
It can be that our problems were different but produced the same problem.. I'm not a dev nor do I understand everything about Android.
I can be wrong, but that's how I fixed my phone. Just trying to help

[Q] Update rooted phone via Kies 3

I'm running MJ7 software on my Three network UK I9505, rooted with knox flag 0x1 and just installed Kies 3 and it's telling me to update my phone. Is this safe to do? Should I do it manually via Odin instead?
Device status is custom.

Yeah I anticipated that I will lose root but it's no big deal. It's just that with Kies 3 it let me all the way to ticking the boxes and the next step being update whereas the old Kies never let me go that far with custom status.
Also has a nice new warning in red about rooted phones potentially being damaged by updating, which I never saw before, hence why I asked. I presumed though that it's the standard Samsung warnings just in case something goes wrong
Just need to charge my battery because it won't let me update just yet at 77%.

ROMs unflashable, i9505 S4 XUBMF8

Hi there all,
I've been encountering a weird issue with the i9505 S4 XUBMF8. For whatever reason, I am currently unable to flash custom ROMs on it. The phone is KNOX-free and I have previously flashed custom ROMs on it before. I am able to root via CF Auto Root, install Triangle Away, but whenever a file is copied onto the phone's storage it never completes successfully (for example Broodplank's ROM will always be 10-15mb short). Even downloading the custom ROM directly onto the phone via stock Browser results on a Status 7 error.
Changing from CWM Recovery to Team Win doesn't help either, nor changing usb ports / computers and cables. (I've used both Generic and Samsung-branded ones.)
This is a phone which has previously managed to run custom ROMs, flashes stock Samsung ROMs and Radios via Download Mode fine, and installs "unknown" .apks fine as well.
Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
Summary: Phone currently running stock XUBMF8 (Firmware it came out of the box with), roots fine and installs custom Recoveries fine, flashes fine via Download mode. Just refuses to copy files properly (despite multiple formats / factory resets / flash stock firmware) and refuses to flash custom ROMs via custom Recoveries.

XUBMF8 is android 4.2.2 for branded phones:
- Spain (yoigo) or Poland (Play)
* Solution could be flash one stock rom for unbranded phone if is your case. Anyway if u conect ur phone to Kies and tell me ur CSC I can tell u what stock firmware is good for your unbranded phone

Hi there,
I've installed Kies and according to the "Firmware Information" section it says
Current firmware version: PDA:MF8 / PHONE:MF8 / CSC: MF8 (SIN)
Is that the right place i'm looking at? I've never used KIES before, this is my first,

It's unlocked, yes. This mobile was actually originally bought in Malaysia, unbranded and unlocked. I could not find any Malaysian XUBMF8, so I downloaded the SingTel one as an alternative whenever I needed to reset my phone to stock.

Apparently that doesn't work. I've tried resetting with stock, custom recoveries and through TouchWiz itself. It still gets the Status 7 error. Toggling "Verification Check" results in a failure, even though the MD5 checks out.

Anybody?
I'm running out of ideas, and after extensive searching it seems i'm the only one with this problem.

[Q] can i flash any regions firmware on my galaxy s5?

hey, i recently bought an unlocked Samsung s5 and online it didn't not specify what region it was made for stop doesn't have all the languages i need. is it possible to just flash another regions firmware or does it need to be specifically for my galaxy?
i have a G900f

Yes that possible as long as its G900F firmware. Just flash it with Odin 3.09.

There are Israelian roms available for the G900F on Sammobile. Flash the one you need with Odin 3.09.

hey so I tried flashing with odin and at the end it says failed and now my phone says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
I tried reflashing with the same downloaded israeli firmware from and the same thing happens. It still gets a blue ready sign in odin. any ideas of how to fix this?

Oke, just do the following:
- Disable Kies in windows task manager
- Pull the battery and wait 20 seconds
- Boot into downloadmode and connect to the pc
- Untick Auto Reboot in Odin 3.09 and place the rom in AP
- Hit start and when done pull the battery
- Boot into recovery and data factory reset and boot.

Do you have Teamviewer on your pc, i can help you from here if you want that. If so install TeamViewer and let me know.
This method never fails actualy:
Have you disabled Kies in windows task manager?
- Pull the battery, wait 20 seconds and boot in to downloadmode
- Place the .md5 file in AP, connect the phone with usb and untick Auto Reboot in Odin 3.09
- Flash the rom, pull the battery, boot into recovery and factory reset and wipe cache
- Reboot.

This problem is still happening, anyone else know what may be the problem? It seems as if it is Chinese, could it be a fake?

If you bought yours from a reputable seller, you don't have to worry about this but there are some fake galaxy s5 around. There are some differences that you can observe.
Hopefully this is not the case with yours.

Well I bought it from amazon. It seemed legit and it looks legit for the most part except the sticker on the inside behind the battery where it says g900f is in Chinese and I heard its not supposed to be.
And I teamviewed with gee , he made sure everything in Odin was set up correctly. It was, we thought maybe the file was corrupt so I download it again from another source and it didn't help.
Any ideas on how I can fix this assuming it is not. Fake?

Reflash it again via ODIN coz is possible that the older bootloader was stuck. Dial *#1234# again when all the flash process finish.

Almost same thing here, my 2ghz wifi works just fine, but 5ghz is not seeing my router. whenever i am in CM12 it works on both 2ghz and 5ghz, no problem.
Although i got it work on some times ago, cant remember how (probably result of flashing multiple rom after one another).
But now after update with Audax L v.22.1 it is not working again. don't know what is the problem.
Now downloading N9005XXUGBOB6_N9005OXXGBOB4_ROM.zip (Romania) for further testing.
are there any one facing same problem as mine or the thread OP?
@touseefiqbal did you tried with changing the router channels? it might help.
also any one have mega link for poland or romania rom? sammobile link is very slow for me.
