I'm sorry to hear that, honestly. i was literally stuck in a bootloop too like 30 minutes ago, but i restored the MJA twice and right now its working, no I'm just restoring back the apps and junk. sorry again I wasn't much help. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come to the rescue, just hold on tight bud :fingers-crossed:

where did u download the mja tar for odin

Try these links here and see if that solves your problem. This will delete internal memory so make a backup.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 Screen

Hi guys, Ive just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4
I had the s3 and loved it but thought id get the S4, (I'm on the Three network UK If this helps)
Anyway with the s3 i rooted it, Installed CF Root, and siyah kernel and worked a treat
So when i had my S4 today i thought id root it, So i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8 did everything and everything worked fine, then i thought oh ill put the siyah kernel on from here d-h.st/users/siyah/s3 and was completely in a daze didn't even read where it said s3 or anything (Yes i know im thick as two short blanks but i do apologize in advance) and when i flashed the siyah kernal it got stuck on the booting screen where it says Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and nothing is budging it, nothing at all.
Anyway so i looked at troubleshooting things and here's what i have tried
*Taking Battery out
* Recovery mode (Power, Home and Volume Up button) clicked factory reset wipe data etc
So im out of options and in desperate need of help as i dont know what else to do so im desperate, i know im a dope for installing something but as i said i was in a daze and just doing it automatically which i know is no excuse but i am sorry.
So can anyone help as i do hope so,
Thanks in advance
Sorry Guys Its the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 not the i9500, Its the i9505,
Apologies

it should, because you flashed wrong kernel,
if not, you have to flash the whole stock firmware
Nope the kernal didnt work, So gonna have to try the stock firmware,
that would should 100% work is it?

yes.
maybe you have a corrupted partition due to the wrong flash so you need a pit file with the firmware, see my signature for tutorial
Im reading it now you know where it says: Step 4) unzip the downlowded file (from second or third post), u will get a Home.tar file.
Where do i get that file from what second or third post?

in the same thread, see second post for official stock i9500 download and third post for I9505 stock firmware download
Got it, You know u said i need the pit file with the firmware, what exactly do i do with the pit file after i have downloaded it?

first flash the firmware as pda in odin, if odin gives you "no pit file" when flashing, so you must put I9505 pit file in odin as pit with the firmware as pda and flash. (all explanations are mentioned in my thread :good
Ok downloading the stock fw now ok, ill keep ya updated
thank you thank you thank you, ur a legend it works!!!

[Q] HELP! No Sound on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 after flashing stock

Hello,
I have a very serious problem. Recently I have been flashing a lot of ROMs on my phone but I did not like any of the custom ROMs as there wasnt any good ones as I actually liked the apps that came with the stock ROM. So I decided to go back to stock ROM but i found it really hard to find the stock ROMs and after a while of searching I found a stock ROM where i have to flash with ODIN. The file came with four files which I had to flash with ODIN v3.09. It came with files that I had to put into the AP, BL, CP and CSC. I did that but then it failed, then retried without the BL because it kept making it fail and it flashed perfectly but then I noticed that there wasn't any sound what so ever. Any app that uses the speakers would crash, even trying to call someone. Even the microphone did not work. When i went onto S Voice it would say that another app was using the microphone when it wasnt and when i tried playing music it would say that file is not supported by the player and keep going to the next one when it was supported before the flash. So I got really worried and decided to go back to the google edition 4.4.2 ROM that i flashed before but now after I flashed that, there wasnt any sound even though there was sound on that ROM when i used it before. I dont know what i did wrong and what i can do to fix this problem or is it even repairable. I checked some other threads and they said to flash stock ROM with odin with the pit files it will work again but im not sure which stock rom should i flash or what to do exactly because i have flashed so many ROMs already and the problem still remains. The ROM i flashed was I9505XXUEMI8 when i received the problem of no sound.
Please is there any repair for this. I dont care about any warranty or anything. I just want the device fully working with sound on stock ROM. Please is there any solution to this problem, cant find the solution anywhere.

Hi mate. Thanks for the quick reply. I managed to sort myself by running the XXUBMEA wifi-fix.
For anyone else with the same issue, I am on;
AP: I9505XXUAMDE
CP: I9505XXUAMDE
CSC: I9505TELAMD8
No knox on my firmware version.
On a side note, is there a rooted kitkat firmware that i can upgrade to without upgrading my bootloader (and activating knox)?

Are you rooted?
What is your modem?
What is your bootloader?

any help appreciated
Hi everyone!
I really hope that you can help me.
I have the galaxy s4 gt-i9505. About 3 weeks ago I updated it via OTA to Kitkat 4.4.2, since than I have a lot of problems with my device!
Randomly the sounds stops working. No ringtone, no system sounds, no keypad tone not even the lock sceen tone. After a restart, everything works just fine again. But I have to restart the phone several times a day! After a while I also found out that if the sounds don't work, the phone also doesn't play videos, youtube or the music player. Again after a restart, everything works fine.
I am running the stock firmware from samsung I9505XXUGNE5, I have tried several factory resets, I have wiped the cache, I have re installed the software via odin. Nothing helped solving this problem.
I really don't know what to do any more and would very much appreciate if someone could help me!!!
Guys im desperate, I purchased this phone only a few months ago, please HELP!!!
Many thanks in advance, Please advise me what file exactly I should use.

[Q] Odin & Set Partition?

Hey guys,
Trying to go to KK from Beans 4.3. Followed all steps and have used Odin before. When I go to flash the KK FW, this is what I am getting, every time. Has anyone else ever seen this? If so, what did you do to get rid of it and have the flash go as planned? I posted in the Beans KK thread too about this, but thought this question might be better served here. I also tried using the PIT file as well, but it only gets as far as you see in the image and then everything stops. Any insights are appreciated, as I am just stuck on 4.3.
Thanks

You just need to flash the .pit file as well. Not a huge deal. I believe it's in the master odin guide etc.
Edit: Just reread it. Try doing just the .pit first then. The one for 4.3

Require help if possible

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505G which I flashed a custom rom on about a year or so ago.
I have since tried to update/flash it again with no joy. My baseband version is (meant to add my baseband when my phone loaded, it didn't.... Its something like MEA on the end.
I tried updating it so many ways, all different roms, stocks, baseband updates, god knows what else and I spend a lot of time on it also.
When ever I try to flash a stock rom using ODIN it fails. I recently tried to flash 5.1 I9505GUEUDOH2 Full Restore hoping it would just solve all my issues but now I seem to be in a boot loop.
I honestly don't know why this has happened.
Please can some one give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advanced

Okay, so I managed to sort a sort of fix, I guess.
I used odin in download mode to flash twrp recover using BL. I launched into recovery and installed a I9505 rom onto my phone. So its currently working and I will probably leave as is in worry that if I continue to mess around I may brick it for good lol
Thank you

My guess is you were flashing the wrong roms. You probably have an I9505 and not an I9505G.
