http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
also successfully downgrading to Recovery Console 2e this allowing us to finally get ClockworkMod Recovery Loading we then flashed the Darkys v8.0 NO WIPE ROM and seemed to all be going fine until we got into a constant Boot Animation loop, tried downlaoding the Wipe but it would not install, so on my own i started fresh Flashing JPY again and then Root Firmware above and same issue, now when i Flash the Stock JPY and boot to try and get a working phone it hangs in a aloop randomly vibrating at the Boot animation. Also when i Flash the Root it does not show clockwork recovery only the Recovery Console 2e, Please Help

sorry Mods biggest n00b forum post error ever could you move this to the Q&A Section thought i was in it

managed to fix it guys seemed to be an error with my Internal SD Card i flashed 2.1 Firmware and then the correct PIT and then flashed newer 2.2.1 firmware and kernel, then flashed darkys rom and working all guud

Just goes to show, once you've broken your phone you may as well keep trying and (usually) eventually you'll get it working again! God bless the internet!

no sound after flashing NON-HLOS

i was having reception problems, thought maybe if i flashed the modem file and NON-HLOS file it would fix it. but now i got no sound, also made a backup, restored backup no change. So what i did was flash to stock 4.3 touchwiz got sound. then i realized i could not root this. so what i did was did some research and follow this. so now im back on GE 4.2.2 and still i have no sound!!!!!!! but i had with 4.2.2 touchwiz help please help please.
Last night i flashed back to stock 4.2.2 and reset my flash counter to get the bell update to 4.3.
All went well with the update. Untill i started playing.... Removed too many bloats... Wanted to start again...
FORGETTING that ATT users and others have been unable to flash back to 4.2.2 after installing 4.3
Trying to ODIN back to 4.2.2 was a mistake, it flashes the bootloaders, then fails at the kernel...
Phone stuck without the 4.3 odin file.... (not posted on sammobile or samsung-updates yet)
Long story short, we are able to flash back to 4.2.2 by flashing I337MUMUAMI1_I337MUWAAMI1_CDR from the domnican republic, then rooting by cfautoroot, installing recovery thru rom manager, then flashing a custom rom/restoring backup.
KNOX warning at bootscreen!!!!
Waiting for odin flashable file of bell 4.3 to be proper again.

WARNING!!!! Microphone and wifi no longer work without proper modems.

fixed it, seems like all you have to do is download the old modem files.

HUGE problem with imei. please help

i didn't have an imei on my i9500 for some reason so i flashed a leaked 5.0.1 rom on my i9500 which fixed my imei issue. everything was working (calls etc). since you can't flash gapps on this rom for some reason i switched back to a stock rom and saw that my imei and baseband version were gone again. after some digging i found out that this was an efs file issue, so after (literally) 16 hours i finally fixed it by flashing the 5.0.1 leak with philz touch, backing up my efs file, and flashing a custom rom (hassan rom v7) and my imei appeared again. i wanted to go back to stock 4.4.2 touchwiz so i tried to flash it again but it gave me a fail. and when i tried again it succeeded but my imei was gone again after some more digging a found out that the 5.0.1 was a chinese rom and changed my model name to i9500chn, and they imei worked only when that was my model name.
so now i'm kinda stuck on hassan rom and my phones model is i9500chn. even though i backup my efs folder successfully, if i flash another rom that changes my phone to i9500 it removes my imei and the efs backups won't help (restore is successful but doesn't work).
what can i do in this situation??
PLEASE XDA PEOPLE HELP ME.

anyone???????
please?!

Wasn't there a tool to backup IMEI number? I remember there was something similar for the Galaxy Ace.

hi mate
Is hard to tell what went wrong ... what i would first of all is trying to go back a a normal stock (not leaked) but not sure if there will be any problem from going back to 4.4.2 from 5.0.1
Check here

First thing i would do is trying to get rid of the chinese PIT from the leaked rom , what is the size of your internal SDm non chinese are around 8-9 gb , try to flash a stock rom (4.4.2) with a PIT file shown in thread , the second one

READ FIRST, BACKUP and then proceed
Once you are back in stock ...you can start over

N910F lost OS, urgent help please

Hi, I have a N910F in the UK. I was on stock BOC5 rom loaded via OTA. I then rooted via cf root and loaded twrp all succesfully. I took a back up and stored on external sd card and internal. I then saw stock BOC5 deodex so thought i would try. Downloaded the file and it failed to flash. I then used my ext SD backup and that failed, so flashed internal, all was good.
Then the crap hit the fan. I then thought if I went official BOD2 from sammobile then flash the deodex maybe better. Downloaded BOD2 and went through odin, it failed saying the file was too large. i then did a search and found a Pit file, so used that in odin too and failed at the same. went to recovery, it booted into download mode saying to connect to kies. Tried that and my comp didn't recognise phone. Reflashed cf root and twrp, all worked but can only see ext SD. internal says 0mb. i get boot with both samsung logos but then says decrypt and to reset phone. i have since downloaded a couple of sammobile roms and a couple of roms flashable in twrp and no luck.
anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I know this is probably back to samsung repair.

quick update. downloaded newest version of odin< downloaded 3mobile uk version and went through odin with this pit file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3135354&d=1422307712. this worked, rooted, installed trwp, installed my ext sd back up and all worked fine.

Ok, another update, I have lost efs. i used kies to go back to stock rom and used my twrp back up to restore efs. it passed in 1 sec but nothing in the efs folders.
i do however, have correct imei, connect to wifi, etc it does however have the wrong serial number showing. does anyone know why twrp isnt restoring EFS?

tried flashing TWRP through odin but it doesn't work
i could get some of my files through adb and then flashed a whole rom again but i had no signal and now i'm trying to flash modem only to get signal back

Try Flashing stock firmware from Odin it may help you

he doesn't want to wipe his data.

I think it is the only way to get his phone back
