Failed rom flashing result to stock on boot - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good to everyone!
My unit is gt-i9505... I flash bootloader and modem without any problem, then i am flashing the WanamLite roms, and it failed i dont know why... So i am trying to reboot my cp but it stock...
Please help me on my problem... tia

If you had flashed the bootloader and modem with Odin, then flash the recovery TWRP.
Boot into the recovery, fully wipe and then flash from the recovery Wanamlite.
Did the same procedure today and it works fine. Make sure your download is not corrupted.

I flash TWRP before i flash the bootloader and modem...
I boot it in recovery mode and wipe all and when i rebooting it says "you have no OS installed"
Im sure that my downloaded roms is not corrupted..

After wiping, you have to install the rom. You sure you did that?

That's what i did, bro, but still i got the failed error message when flashing the roms....

So just to summarize, you flashed these things:
You flashed this recovery:
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00105/NcQ/TWRP_2.7.0.1_GT-I9505(jfltexx).zip
And then you flashed the rom from this page with the recovery:
http://wanamlite.com/2014/04/03/wanamlite-xxufnc5-v2-6-android-kitkat-4-4-2-xposed/
Try flashing the recovery again from the link I gave you. Then try to flash the rom again.

thank you so much for your response, bro...
for now, i reflash my unit to stock rom kitkat 4.4.2...
i'll keep this thread as my reference coz i really want to try that wanamlite roms....

The rom should boot even with the incorrect bootloader and modem. Here are the correct bootloader and modem though.
Use this bootloader:

And this modem:

That are the ones Wanam tells you to flash in his page.

I try it again and i still got the message with failed... I guess i need to download again the roms...

For the third time, i got it right...
I redownload the roms...
Thanks bro!

Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?
Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

[Q] Flashing modem. Do I need to be stock?

I want to flash the MGA modem to my phone. Was first wondering is it safe to flash the modem in odin while I have Philz recovery and foxhound rom or do I need to flash stock firmware in odin first then flash modem then re-flash Philz and rom? Thanks in advance.

You can flash the modem anytime without going back to stock, you won't loose anything
Great thank you glad I dont have to go back to stock recovery

[Q] I need assistance please!

I want to update my i9505 to the latest android 4.3 through Odin but I don't want the new Knox bootloader, could someone please give me any instructions of how I could achieve this? I don't want to install the "custom" stock roms.
*EDIT*: Could someone also give me instructions on how to compile the edited firmware.
I tried to Google it but to no avail.
I shall be grateful to anyone who helps.

In order to remain on your old bootloader you will need to root. Any reason why you don't want to? Root, install a custom recovery then flash the pre rooted rom. They are stock based.

Thank you for your reply, I'm rooted with custom recovery. However I wish to create myself a Odin copy for emergency purposes, I currently have the official MGA firmware update for Odin. I want to create a Odin flash-able firmware update without the new bootloader,
EDIT: After going through the thread all the firmware files include the new know bootloader ;(
As far as I know you can't flash via odin. I suggest you flash the CWM version this has no bootloader. As your already rooted using the knox free cwm version is the safest bet at the moment.

No modem, you can install that separately via Odin as we can't flash modems using CWM. It contains stock rom and stock kernel.

Update I9505 to 4.3/4.4

Hi.
Im on 4.2.2 with root (knox free) and would like to update my S4 I9505 to 4.3/4.4 and root without tripping knox, so that I can have 4G from my carrier.
Is it possible to do this. Would I need a knox free rom, because I had a S4 before which I updated and the wifi and carrier signals stopped working along with other stuff.
Thanks in advance

If you have a KnoxFree 4.2.2 then Flash a Custom recovery and then download any 4.4.2 or .4.3 Custom rom and flash it via recovery . then Update your Modem to 4.3/4.4.2 , to fix your Dropping signal issue ..If your Gonna flash let say 4.4.2 custom rom, then Flash only the zip rom and custom kernel iE Ktkernel or Jeboo kernel

Sorry im a noob at this stuff
I think I have CWM recovery already installed. So can I just flash a 4.3/4.4 rom for example the Cyanogenmod, then do I just update modem to 4.3/4.4.
Thanks

Also can I just not update modem to get LTE since my carrier only added it on 4.3rom.

If your Flashing a Cynogenmod then feel free to follow the Dev's Instruction. Because all you need to do is Flash the Rom and Update your Modem but not the LTE aka WifiFix aka NON-HLOS. and for 4.4.2 You need to flash a working kernel Jeboo/KT .
