[Q] Can't call people and no sound

I just flashed a new modem and a wifi fix someone offered with their rom for my galaxy i9505 using odin.
I then flashed the rom with no problems but when i try to call someone my phone just freezes and it crashes also when i try to listen to music the same thing the phone will just crash and no apps are making any sound its like i have muted it.
Ive tried downloading the official firmware and installing that using odin but it still hasn't fixed my problem does anyone know what it could be ?

You must have not odin flashed the correct firmware.
What I would do is to Odin flash the official stock I9505XXUAMDM firmware
which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2252982
The above link has easy to follow step by step instructions and the download link for the SamMobile
official Odin flash stock firmware as well as the windows Odin software if you need it.
After flashing the stock odin flash firmware the phone will need to be re-rooted.
Doing all of the above should fix the issues you are having with your phone.
Before you odin flash I would recommend that you do a "Factory data reset" by
going into settings>accounts>backup and reset> then click on "Factory data reset".
I would also suggest to create a nandroid backup unless you already have one.
Good luck!

[Q] n900 stuck on Samsung logo

Hi guys I've been facing this problem for a few months now. Hope someone can help. I am on vn rom v14. While on this rom I had flashed the clear warranty zip to reset my knox counter to 0. I was curious to see if it would work. Therafter I decided to flash stock firmware. After the flash I was stuck at the boot logo. So then I booted into stock recovery and wiped data factory reset, wipe cache and wiped dalvik cache. The phone then boots up however it doesn't receive any network signal. It can only connect to wifi. Base brand version and imei are also lost. The only solution that I found was to flash the vn rom again and everything is fixed. I seem to be stuck on vn rom as this is the only rom that picks up signal. Tried many other roms and have the same problem. Eventually I have to return to vn rom to use my phone. Can somebody please help me.

After you flash your stock firmware (you lose your imei )
You should install this zip file from twrp or cwm

Finish

hi ,
i have N910F ,rooted , custom recovery CWM installed ,..stock ROM and on Lollipop... ...BOC3 ( was on ....BOB4 like you ) unfortunately if you flash you loose root and custom recovery .IF you do a "dirty flash" you should keep all your apps .
i used same CF autoroot version and CWM recovery version i used on Android v4.4.4 ,then Lollipop ...BOB4 and now on
Lollipop ...BOC3 ( I opted for full reset afterwards as i wanted to ) No problems
good luck

Just to be clear about a "dirty flash" in this case I still using odin as a tool , flash the rom , or I have to change some settings in odin ?
Can you please help me with this , the correct steps in flashing the rom ?
Thanks

hi,
if you are unsure about flashing with Odin look on YouTube /XDA or else for an example for Note 4. flashing with Odin.
Dirty flash is only a term to describe that before /after flashing with eg. Odin you did not "factory reset" your device. You juzt flashed over old software.,thus not needing to most likely re install any apps.
Problem is if you had any errors etc in previous Rom you could experience similar issues iin the new Rom. It's your choice
just to give you an example of dirty flash. When i upgraded from Android v 4.4.4 to lollipop BOB4 i did a dirty flash as i was to lazy to re install my apps. and my device was working 100% battery was fine etc. But yes flashing to... BOC3 i felt.. no i had more time on hand and didn't mind re installing
my 168 app i have on device. Used Titanium.. root
So i flashed.. lollipop .. BOC3.. Hard reset device.. flashed Cf autoroot to root.. checked if it was working and then flashed custom recovery Cwm
Downloaded Titanium again.. i have the paid Titanium version (as all 3rd party apps are wiped when hard resetting ) from market and restored all my apps.. from ext sd card i had backed up. before when flashing when i still was on ...BOB4
(Just remember to fix old Android Ext Sd card issue.. i used NextApp sd fix from Play market to get "write permission" as Titanium could not find it on my ext sd
good luck

hi ,
glad you sorted it out..!!!
just to clearify / elaborate my preferred order of "flashing "( above post )
It is still a "dirty flash " ,as you flash over all your apps from old ROM ,
but you correct it, by doing a "factory reset " (etc etc.) straight afterwards .
Other members prefer to factory reset before "flashing " and then again factory reset it again just after flashing . new Rom.. ..
i prefer either a straight "dirty flash" ( no factory reset afterwards ) or method/order i descibed in post above ..!
Reason i don't factory reset, before flashing is that if you factory reset and then flash and your flash goes wrong eg ..errors, corrupt download ,etc etc
you can hopefully , flash old ROM back and still have your old apps working ....but i don't think you are going to be happy reinstalling all your old apps on old ROM .i know i won't with all my apps !!!
good luck

Problems since lollipop DOC4 (SM-N900w8)

I have a SM-N900W8 canadian note 3. I just installed new DOC4 lollipop rom via odin. I did clean install by wiping data. I root with CF-Root and flash latest TWRP. Everything seems to work perfectly until i try to made some small mod to add datamobile button in quicksettings using this thread. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370
After it boots up to a black screen and a pop up shows up for nearly all of my apps that says they are not responding so all I get is that and a black screen. I reflash the rom via odin without wiping my data, re-root and everything went back fine and my mod works. ???!! I now have my datamobile button.
Later, i made a nandroid backup with TWRP. After reboot i got the same errors.... So i Reflash-rom, re-root, everything back to normal.
TO make a short story, everytime i access recovery or flash something in recovery or modify my system partition i got this errors....
I suspect having partition mismatched ... i don't know...
Any idea ???
Any help appreciated...

Which version of TWRP did you use? As far as I know, the latest only supports up to kitkat (4.4)
Maybe this is what causes your problems?

That's what i thought, I'm using the latest one (2.8.6.0). I ask other users in another thread and they said this version is working flawlessly with lollipop...

I have the same phone, and I flashed lollipop DOC4 using Odin yesterday, with CF-auto-root and TWRP 2.8.6.0.
I just tried (litterally minutes ago) adding the data toggle, and it worked, but I could not reproduce your problem.
Which version of TWRP did you use? The hltecan one or the hltexx?

1. Are you sure you installed correct TWRP? The correct one for your device: HERE.
2. Seems that mod for datamobile button doesn't work for your device. Reflash rom, re-root and don't install that mod. Try that update firmware for some days and tell me how it works :highfive:

I used HLTECAN 2.8.6.0. When i was on 4.4.2 NB7, i was using the same file and i had not problems at all. If you re-read my first post, i said my data toggle is working fine now but i needed to re-flash the entire rom without wiping data to get rid of the many apps errors. I guess i need to reflash everything from scratch... Will use another USB wire and another USB port. Maybe it'll help... Or maybe i should try another root method ??? I used CF-Root for SM-n900w8...

I suggest trying with hltexx, since it is the version I used, and I encountered no problem at all so far.
Let's check for any other difference between devices. I got :
Baseband N900W8VLUBMJ4
Bootloader N900W8UBUCNA2
PDA Version N900W8VLU2DOC4
CSC Version N900W8OYADOC4
Stock Kernel

how do you root n900w8 lollipop rom ?

Hi, can I root N900W8 running N900W8UBU2DOG2 firmware from region TTT with twrp? If not is there any other method I can use to root my device ?

Downgrade from 6.01-4.4.2

Is it possible, I've seen a video where it is done but need to go to LP first, I much prefer kk on s5 as running a ported s5 kk on my s4 and wish to keep it. Any time I flash a kk stock based rom via twrp it boots to boot animation and then freezes and reboots. Any one done the downgrade?
SM-G900F Unlocked.
Baseband- G900FXXU1CPB8

I did it, straight from 6.0.1 to 4.4.2. But I did it using kdz files. I think you also need to downgrade the modem. etc.
Just make sure you reset your phone, clear cache/dalvik before you go to download mode. You will have boot loops otherwise. Which is easily fixed by going to recovery...and resetting, clearing cache.
Of course this means you can not keep your data. Do backup with TB, etc. and restore after.

I don't suppose u have a link to these files? With my s4 it was lp - kk and we used a modded tar file ( full rom) via Odin then flashed which ever stock kk we wanted. I feel stock 4.4.2 deodexed rooted with busy box is best for me.

Just get the stock 4.4.2 rom and flash it with odin you don't really need to do nothing special for that, anyways I would recommend to just install Cyanogenmod 13 and fell good about having a good rom, unlike us with the H variant stuck with ****ty touchwiz lol
