KERNEL screwed my phone!

Ok, first of all, my phone model is i9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4 International version).
I installed last week a new kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 on my phone.
Today I tried to install the cyanogenmod 10.2, now the recovery edition of PhilZ Touch says everytime that there is a prob i9505G etc, which I don't understand.
I think the kernel changed my phone number to i9505G, someone who can help me with this? Thanks.

Yeah sure, just installed stock firmware 4.3 so nothing editted, PhilZ CWM recovery and that's it.
Since the kernel it won't install cm10.2 anymore so yeh...
Nothing much to explain, I don't know why this happens to me, my model number jftlexx is correct but in recovery it gives a bunch of errors with i9505G and the model name of it, forgot it I think it was like jgdlet or something.

i found this after reading cm10 that you need to install a compaltible recovery for this "Make sure you have the LATEST version of ClockworkMod recovery. Other recoveries may work but will not be supported by CyanogenMod" either you use a Clockwork recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397108 or you can try it with TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468187 and make sure the file you download is not corrupt, please check the Hashcheck that u got the proper file.

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !

I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

[Q]Hassan ROM won't boot!

Hello,
i downloaded the Hassan ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662583
And after installing it from the CWM (the required version) i booted the device
and it is stuck on the SAMSUNG logo and wont boot up.
What can i do to fix that i really want this rom.
for now ill flash a stock rom via odin untill ill come up with a solution for that issue.
thanks for the help!

never mind i fixed it!
wow 79 views and no single answer \=
strange...
anyway i flashed a stock rom and then flashed the CWM again and installed the rom again and it worked.
(i dont know why but flashing the stock rom made it possible to install the Hassan rom, i tried to install the Hassan rom 3 times before flashing the stock)

i9500 can't install recovery (Fixed)

Hi everyone. I was using my phone with stock rom for a while ans I wanted to pass to Miui cuz I heard 4.4.2 will be released soon.
I downloaded TWRP and tried to flash as I did everytime before with Odin. I flashed it and it rebooted, odin showed Pass with no errors, but when I tried to launch the recovery, it is still stock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I flashed it like this before and they always worked but this is not working. Is there another way to install this? I don't have root access but it wasn't an issue before. I have the usb drivers installed and debugging on. It was tricky to install drivers on Win 8.1 but it seems like installed correctly as it didn't showed an error.
Waiting for an answer please. I hate this exynos phone but my parents just not allowing me to sell this.

Nope. It still opens up the stock recovery. Anymore solutions?

You tried to install one in the stock recovery? A zip file of the Recovery?

I tried installing Miui in the stock rom but it didn't work. Perhaps the last updates did something? Cuz I was able to do this with ease. Maybe downgrading to the first stock 4.4.2 will work but it takes a lot of time and I'm sick of this. Thanks anyway, I'll boost your thanks meter by one more for trying to help

The rom you are currently on has nothing to do with your inability to flash the recovery. It's a completely different thing.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That should probably fix it.

You can maybe look for the latest official firmware from samsung and flash it. And after that try again the recovery. Here the Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/

Require help if possible

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505G which I flashed a custom rom on about a year or so ago.
I have since tried to update/flash it again with no joy. My baseband version is (meant to add my baseband when my phone loaded, it didn't.... Its something like MEA on the end.
I tried updating it so many ways, all different roms, stocks, baseband updates, god knows what else and I spend a lot of time on it also.
When ever I try to flash a stock rom using ODIN it fails. I recently tried to flash 5.1 I9505GUEUDOH2 Full Restore hoping it would just solve all my issues but now I seem to be in a boot loop.
I honestly don't know why this has happened.
Please can some one give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advanced

Okay, so I managed to sort a sort of fix, I guess.
I used odin in download mode to flash twrp recover using BL. I launched into recovery and installed a I9505 rom onto my phone. So its currently working and I will probably leave as is in worry that if I continue to mess around I may brick it for good lol
Thank you

My guess is you were flashing the wrong roms. You probably have an I9505 and not an I9505G.
