As 123hiten said, flash back to stock and build up. That's super strange though. I was able to flash back from 4.3 back to 4.2 no problem.

[Q] Telstra S4 i9505 stock not working

Hi, so i've got a few problems going with my i9505 Telstra S4.
I flashed to 4.3 trying it out then went back to original stock rom 4.2.2 from sam mobile but it's not registering a simcard in the device
at all.I have flashed modem a few times and it picks it up for a bit then drops it again. When I go to reflash the new rom
I go and flash philz and completely data, cache and dalvik wipe the phone befor doing it but after wards when the phone is on the main screen
after putting in the info and plugging into a computer, it comes up with the same name as it did before for the device even though i changed it, not sure if that means anything.
Not sure where to go from here and sorry for the terrible grammar
You can't go back to 4.2.2 stock once you flashed the 4.3 stock rom. The reasons are related to the new bootloader.
I suggest you instead flash a 4.3 rom.. perhaps the BTU one.

You would need to flash the entire package. Please take the time to read up on this process... and make sure the phone you are flashing suits the firmware you flash. In this forum your will find clear instructions on how to flash 4.3 for the i9505 from Sammobile.

[Q] My Note 3 went %&$&$%

I have been using the CM11 rom from Temasek until I decided to have a go at the Omega Rom. After installing through recovery, my note cannot get out of the Samsung Logo. It just refused to start. Tried installing latest stock rom through odin, same issue. Saw three lines of messages on the top left hand corner and the Samsung logo and that's it. Can only get it working if I revert back to Temasek's rom.
Help anyone...

which versions of omega and stock rom did you flash ? i read you said the newest, just asking to be sure.
if its the newest omega rom, you must flash 4.4.2 stock rom first.
when you upgrade to 4.4.2, you can no more use cm11 and you cant go back to any 4.3 based rom.

I tried the 7.1 Omega Rom and then the 4.4.2 version of the stock rom.
You have to flash the stock 4.4.2 via Odin. Is that what you did?

Yes I did.
Try to boot into recovery after flashing the stock 4.4.2 and factory reset. Maybe that will work.

Flash stock 4.3 with odin, then 4.4.2 stock with odin. Then install recovery, and Omega after.

that shouldnt be possible if you done everything right.
as soon as you are on the new bootloader that you get when you flash 4.4.2, you can definatley not revert to temasek, it wont boot.
i think you are still on the old bootloader and that is why your kitkat based roms dont boot.

[HELP] - Reboot / Erase

Hello Guys!!!
I have a Samsung i9505 and I'm trying to use a custom rom. I've been using Google Play Edition 4.4.2 and sometime ago it started to notify the 4.4.3 update. I've tried to install it, but nothing happened. I've installed the Jamal GPE 4.4.3 and it works. The problem is that I can't reboot the device. If I do it, the device does not start again... have to install everything again... I've also tried to install Miui Rom, Mahdi Rom and the problem persists. All these Roms works, but I can't reboot... I'm using Team Win v2.5.0.
Am I doing anything wrong?
Thank You!

Reflashing a stock rom shouldn't be needed.
You are using an old version of the recovery. Upgrade the recovery and everything should probably be solved. Make sure to always fully wipe before flashing roms.

twrp. I dont know what you mean by stock rom because this is my first time I did. My device is running 4.4.2. and I chose for kernel 4.4 version of tw.
I think that you have to re-flash a new rom. Then, you have to retry installing root and the kernel.

I agree with msmlz, if you have nandroid restore it or download the firmware in sammobile and reflash it and before flashing the custom kernel again, read the thread, see if someone face bootloop like you. Hope someone with experience on it could help you, I never install custom kernel, just update the last stock kernel on my rooted stock rom.
