[help]!!! Help the newbie here!!

Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom? Appreciate that you can help me so i can get back my phone!!

Thousand thanks bro. Last question, will the flashing of this stock rom reset all my setting including the message, contact number and etc and finally roll back to unroot?

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

[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)?

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.

it s software bug.
i don't know if it s available for ur rom or no but if u don't wanna change ur rom
u should search for radio package/modem of ur rom and install it through recovery.
ur any moded of that package (maybe u can find sth in dev. section)
but better choice is to completely back to stock and flash completely stock rom
after u can realize if it s hardware problem or software bug.

Im guessing your from hongkong,(But you can check it from here ) then if you really want to flash a latest 4.3 stock rom then feel free to download and flash this via odin. Remember 4.3 stock rom will give you a Newbootloader. and you can no longer downgrade to your old one. and there's a chance you might void your warranty if you rooted/ or flash any custom rom on your phone..

I did tried to flash modem and stock firmware with odin but still have the same problem sometimes i can make call but most of time its showing no signal or not registered on network.

can I downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2 or 4.3 ??

hello there
I just wondering If I can downgrade my firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 or 4.3 in safe way
because I read that is not safe to downgrade because ,,, you may lose your network access & IMEI & and get invalid SIM !!!
How I can avoid that ???
because I have a big problem I cannot solve it at anyway :crying: I try many rom's (stock rom's & customs rom's like(cm11 )
and the problem not solve it !!!!!
the problem is / I cannot record video (camera video mode) ,,, when I do that the mobile freezing the restart !!! also youtube videos not work !!
and If I play video any video on mobile is freezing and stop working !!!
SO I would like to downgrade my firmware maybe will solve this problem
or I will wait your help for another way to solve this issue
Thanx

No you can't.. Because you may brick your device.... As long as you are with knox bootloader which came with 4.3 and above... Then you can't downgrade.
But you can reflash the latest 4.4.2 tar file using Odin... This should solve your issues.

The problem may be in the flashed file itself ...try to download tar file which is maybe 1.2 gigabyte from another site.
and then flash your device again.

The real model # can be found by putting the phone into download mode.

I recommend flashing the latest stock ROM for the sm-n900s with Odin.
The printed model # sm-n9005 is on the label under the battery?

yes ..

Thanx

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?
