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.

Do you have the newest version of Philz?
Or broken file. Try to re-download

Isn't Heisenberg an AOSP rom? You said you have an N900 and that means that you can't use it..
Where's the link to show you?

[Q] [SOLVED] Problems with installing rom cm12

Wassup XDA!
I'm trying to install the CM12 Unofficial Rom. I've installed roms before so not a complete noob, but for some
reason I can't get it to work.
I am running cyanogenmod 4.4.4.
To be more precise: Cyanogenmod version: 11-20140918-UNOFFICIAL-ks01lte
Kernel version: 3.4.0-gefcd118
[email protected] #1
Philz touch recovery.
So, from my experience with previous mobile phones, I should be able to just throw the newest cm version on my internel/external storage (I chose external) and install the newest cyanogenmod. That doesn't work. It hangs on the samsung logo.
Also, a guy on this forum recommended me to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57475522&postcount=278
for a really really clean install. But when I flash the file that you can download there the same thing happens.
I've tried loads of different ways to fix this problem, but the thing is: I don't understand.
And the forum for this samsung is very unclear aswell. I don't wanna hate on it, but why are there 4 development
forums but only one general discussion forum? And when I look there, there are like no threads about the I9506 S4 version.
So This thread is probably in the wrong location, but can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
I do the clear cache stuff, factory reset in the recovery before I install the rom. Usb debugging is enabled.
PLEASE HELP

first of all. This is wrong section.
second usb debug you dont need it
then you wiped data and factory reset? Did you format system?
Did you download right file for your phone?
Do you have GT-I9506 version or?

Thanks for the reply.
Where should I post it then?
I did not format system.
I got the file from this exact subforum, and I wouldn't post this post her if I didn't have the GT-I9506. I already
told you I wasn't THAT noobie .

Post in Q&A
You need format system before flash CM. Thats why you cant boot

Isn't that done automaticly when you select factory reset and clean cache? I'll try it tho. In my recovery there is this button when I click on factory reset and clean cache that says 'make ready for new rom' or something. I clicked that. But I'll give your tip a try

- Go to DeHawk's thread, and download the latest original 4.4.2 kernel, recovery, and firmware (~2GB), and flash it in THAT order.
- Root with his AutoRoot.
- Install CWM 6.4.8 (can be found in this forum, just browse)
- Flashed ROOT_E330S_I9506_v2.zip (find it like the one above, maybe not neccessary, but did it to be sure).
- Flashed this ROM and GApps Pico.

The problem was already solved lile the title said. Thx for the reply though because other people can use it as a little tutorial

Help i cant install a new rom in my galaxy s4 19505 international version

I'm having a hard time installing new rom. Everytime i flash a rom it doesnt boot up and just stuck on the samsung text. I waited for almost an hour and a half but it doesnt really boot. :crying:

Maybe because it's the wrong ROM.

What rom do you want to flash?

i got pf4 modem same as my bootloader.
i got the stock rom when i bought it and i installed imperium kernel because my wifi wont work when i restore it.

Try this.
BACKUP YOUR FILES, DATA ETC. from your internal memory on to your sdcard.
Remove your sdcard.
Get a different sdcard 2-4gb
Download your new rom again and copy it to your 2-4gb sdcard.
Format everything (cache, dalvik, data, system, boot etc.) in your mobile through the recovery.
When finished, use FORMAT TO A CLEAN INSTALL
Put your sdcard with the rom to install in to the mobile phone.
Install your rom.
When installation finishes stay in the recovery menu.
Do a FACTORY RESET through the recovery.
Take your sdcard out.
Reboot.
Try it and let me know.

All good?
