I have flashed the Google 4.3 edition on it. Some days later the trouble has begin.
If i startet apps like camera or mozilla it shutdown.
So i have tried to flash the original firmware with Odin.

I have testet to repair bootloader with JTAG from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
but the Bootloader was unchanged!
Please help!
If the Odin flash is succesfull using the one part version, then you need to boot into recovery and select factory reset and/or wipe cache. That should probably fix it.
If not, be more specific. What firmware did you try to flash? Also what device do you have? Do you have the GT-I9505G or the GT-I9505?
Thanks for your Answer!
I tried to flash firmware 9505 German DBT with the last xxxMH5.
My Device is an GT-I9505G.
When i tried to boot in Recovery mode in the left corner is written "Recovery Boot" but then the screen turns black and
the device restart.
Flashing i tried both 4 Part and 1 part -> 4 part fails und 1 part is successfull but there is still the bootloop
Tanks for helping Lennyz!
Why do you flash I9505 roms on a I9505G? I'm don't know much about that device, but I thought the firmware can't be exchanged? Or am I wrong?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If so, I would try to flash cwm.
If no one else that has more knowledge about this responds in you thread, my suggestion would be the following.
1. Try this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342377
if that fails
2. Try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360346
But then again, I don't own the device, so it's on you.

Should I use the warranty or tried to flashed the original firmware but i won't want crash my bootloader.
Can this crashes are in connection with knox?
Thank for your help!
Good to hear you got your phone working again.
Try a factory reset, maybe that will help.
Hello to you to you all. I wish I never rooted. I need to know what I did to my phone now that I used Kingroot on this Grand Prime. I also need to get my phone to not say custom in about phone. I tried Samsung Kies and I got error messages. Do I need to flash a stock Rom? Is my bootloader damaged? Please, I beg you experts please help me?. Thank you all in advance for your time and effort.

Use super su, and un-root your phone with the option for un-root. Or just flash stock rom that's match your model.
I apologize but I have tried to give supersu superuser status although supersu would have those permissions from kingroot, it could not update it's binaries. When I did a full unroot with kingroot, my phone still was not allowed to receive over the air updates via wifi. About flashing a stock Rom I can reroot with kingroot but I cannot locate any stock Rom for this phone. I did a lot of research trying to find one. Can you please advise to as to where to go so that I can locate the stock Rom? Thank you.

Thank you very much
I really appreciate you time and effort that you did.
Getting the stock firmware
I have searched that particular location and my model is SM-G530AZ and it's not found in that directory. I am at a checkmate. Unless I can use a firmware from one of the Grand Prime phones with a similar model but that to me does not make too much sense... Or maybe it does. But regarding my particular model it doesn't exist (or so it seems. Can one please come up with a solution? Flashing the Rom is the only option at this point so need download stock. Thanx everyone. ?.

Since your model is a dual with lte i guess you can use the 530h firmware. but i'm not sure.
My Model's Definite Firmware
Thank you very much for that info. But its not a definite so I wouldn't go ahead with it. I find it very interesting that for every other model of the Grand Prime there is a definete stock software available for the user. But when it comes to mine there isn't. So if anyone can possibly find it I'll be so happy.

I am facing the same challenge with my G530AZ model aswell. I am not even able to see my Network mode menu to change after realizing my device can not receive 3G signal only Edge. I located this menu after rooting to unlock my phone however it has completely vanished as I may put it. Any news on a compatible stock rom will be appreciated aswell.
Solution for reverting phone fully into stock (SM-G530AZ) & any other Samsung
I wasn't going to let Samsung Customer Service get away with not be able to give me info on how to get the code for emergency recovery mode using Samsung Kies. I got the Samsung Rep to tell me how to get the code in Kies all the time (in emergency recovery mode). Have the usb plugged in first without the phone connected to it. Then hold down the volume down key on your phone when it's OFF and after the volume down key is being held down, connect your phone to the USB while the Samsung Kies program is running. The code should show in Kies after that. Then go to the tools selection in Kies and click on the Recovery Mode option and you follow the further instructions. I didn't try this yet but I will very soon. I wrote this right after I got off the phone from the Samsung Rep. I really hope that this is a true method that works. If yes, cheers to all!
Sorry, can't be so trusting with Customer Service Rep of Samsung
I apologize for my previous post in a way. Well first of all this model SM-G530AZ (my model) isn't compatable with Kies as in that I got a message from Kies saying that. Therefore there was no way for me to know that the holding of the volume down method will generate the code for the emergency software reflash on this model. Finally, if that Rep was able to make that mistake I doubt whether it works for phones that are compatable with Kies.

Any luck on flashing the sm-g530az. I try most of the firmware from sammobile. But no luck. And, sm-g5630az firmware is not in Sam Moblie.
Only solutions I can think of...
Earlier in this forum a member said that you can possibly use the 530h firmware, being that they are basically the same firmware as ours although he said he's not totally sure. If Kies 3 and the newer version of Kies (the name slipped my mind, but the message pops up anytime one installs Kies 3 asking if you want to download it) don't work because a message comes up saying that the phone doesn't support initializing, maybe what that member said is the only possible option for right now. But now I'm thinking that you can do anything to your phone which will be "normal" looking as far as for the things which the customer service reps look for see if the phone was tampered with which voids the warranty, in a repair center they can wipe all from the phone and put stock software. But the issue with that may be that the binaries that are on you phone now may cause your phone to get bricked being that their software uses different binaries. This is when they plug it in by them the phone need to load to 100% and if it stops in middle the phone is bricked. So they told me that there is that risk. If you can fool them into trying to do that flashing process on your phone because they seem to think that the warrantee is intact and it doesn't get bricked, you are good to go (I visited a Samsung repair center and found this out being that I had issues with them). But in your case that may or may not be possible . Good luck.
Your instructions were slightly off. Here's what worked.
1) install KIES 3. DO NOT PLUG IN PHONE
2) go to tools -> firmware upgrade and initialisation in KIES
3) device id = SM-G530AZ ; serial number is under battery
4) allow KIES to download the firmware
5) place phone in ODIN mode/Emergency Download Mode (hold VOL DWN and HOME while powering on ) then plug in phone to computer via USB
6) allow KIES to send image to phone. Have some ice cream and egg rolls and do not touch anything.
7) PROFIT! After the phone restarts, it will take you through initial set up (like when you bought it)
YOU WIN!! Even the Mobile Data is Set-up Already!
All your screwups (soft brick, deletes systemui....) are forgiven. Don't do it again.

did this work on the build g530az of5?
Cricket has not yet made lollipop available to me (I keep checking), so I have not been able to test it.
I have the SM-G530AZ and I'm trying to restore stock using the method you provided but I'm stuck at 8% update/initialization. I've tried everything I can think of to unbrick my phone. Please help!

try again following those directions thoroughly, just worked for me earlier today, make sure you're on a good internet connection, and don't plug in the phone (which will be in download mode) until you absolutely have to. hope all goes well.

thank you so much man i had rooted my galaxy grand prime from cricket with kingroot ..couple hours later once my phone died and restarted it said my phone was flashed and locked due to unauthorized firmware ..i could not get into my phone at all.. Only able to see odin mode (download mode) ..so i did some research and could not find sm-g530az firmware anywhere for download. So i went to cricket they told me my phone is no good i had to get another one. I was furious ..but didnt give up since im pretty mobile phone and computer savvy. I still did some research found this thread and downloaded kies 3 .it did not recognize my phone for connection ..so i downloaded kies 2.6 and kies lite.
It just kept saying connecting ..so i then followed ur steps above and it brought my phone back to life ..crazy how cricket and even samsun themselves did not know what to do as i was on the phone with both of them ..they told me my phone is no longer good ..smh ...anyways thank you sooo much ..saved me about $150.
I hope this helps anyone else that is in the same position that i was in

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,
If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.

First off thanks for this forum and its plethora off information.
My problem:
1. Bought a brand new GT-I9505.
2. Installed cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1JN-jfltexx with this guide (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltexx)
3. Everything went smooth but the next day starting to get "Sim Card Removed" errors
4. Search the internets and saw that it was a know problem to some batches of S4 phones (https://www.google.nl/search?q=sams....69i57j0l5.15789j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)
5. Called customer support of where I bought the phone. Told me I could return it because of the Dead On Arrival support that they give for these cases.
6. Tried to reset to stock but that didn't work because, as I came to discover, knox Warranty Void got triggered to 0x1.
7. Did a factory reset with CM and send the phone back to the company.
8. They sent the phone back to me saying they could not remove CM and that they wanted me to reinstall the OS which came with the phone.
From my past knowledge (installing CM on a galaxy S2) I remembered that my warranty ony would be voided when I would root my device.
I felt supported in that assumption by the text on the install page for my phone which stated:
"The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary"
So I thought I was doing the installation correctly in terms of warranty voiding.
Clearly that assumption was false because meanwhile Knox got implemented and I should have read upfront before installing CM obviously on my new phone. My bad.
However I am now in a stiuation where I have bought a phone with a hardware defect (Sim card is randomly not being detected) but I cannot return it because Samsung has set a flag which cannot be reset (http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/).
I have read some posts (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568450) about that it is possible to return to stock but either the posts are relatively old or they are about other devices and/or Android versions.
So I am confused about what my options are at the moment and before I go into the process of trying to bring back my phone to stock I wanted to ask help from some better informed people about this situation.
My questions are:
1. Can I go back to stock firmware from CM 12.1 while knox got triggered.
2. If so, do I need to root my phone?
3. If succeeded is there a way to hide the Warranty Void message while booting. I am talking about hiding here and not removing/resetting the flasg to 0x0 as that is not possible.
Thanks in advance,

1) Yes, of course.
2) No.
3) Don't know what you are talking about.
Odin is used to flash stock roms on Samsung devices. That is the only way.
There are links to guides in the help thread in the Q&A section.
Yes u can go back to stock. Just download the firmware from sammobile.com then download odin now put ur phone in download mode and start odin as admin.
Next in pda select the file u downloaded from sammobile and flash.
Thats all

Thanks both for your answers.
Should have been more clear in point 6 where I write I tried to reset to stock.
I tries resetting to stock with Odin 3.10.7 (also tried 3.09 and 3.07) and a firmware image from sammobile.com
Unfortuanetely I got an error relating to my pit file.
Used heimdall to create one from my phone.
Tried to go back to stock again via pda and pit file options (re-partition checked this time)
Unfortuanetely it still didn't work. Don't have access to the exact error messages here from that process but will post back the error messages once I do.
Thanks again for your time and support on this

Such errors are usually related to the USB cable, USB port on the pc (back ports are recommended) and Windows version.
Edit: You might be able to use FlashFire to flash the stock rom if Odin doesn't work.

That's good to know, thanks. I was trying this with an extended usb cable so it can be the definitely the case.
Will try later today with a direct connection to a backport.

Managed to return to stock firmware, yay!
In case it helps someone else, here are my steps:
1. By dialing *#1234# on a similar phone I checked what ap/cp/csc version I needed
Code:
AP: I9505XXUHOF2
CP: I9505XXUHOF2
CSC: I9505OXAHOF2
2. Downloaded the correct firmware image (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/50091/I9505XXUHOF2_I9505YHNHOF2_PHN/)
3. Extracted the firmware file
4. Opened Odin v3.10.7
5. Rebooted Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
6. Connected phone and waited until I got a blue sign in Odin
7. Added the firmware file to AP / PDA
8. Made sure re-partition was NOT ticked
9. Clicked the start button
10. Then I got a PASS!
So I guess there can be 2 reasons my first attempt of flashing stock firmware did not worked:
1. The firmware I used the first time was not correct for this phone (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/64897/I9505XXUPOL1_I9505PHNPOL1_PHN)
I did not know at that time about checking my ap/cp/csc described in Step 1 above so I was just downloading the firmware which seemed the most appropiate according to the country / provider.
What helped me a lot was when I found the explanation of the parts of the version number:
Code:
I9505XXUHOF2
I9505 = phone model
XX = country/region code
UHOH2 = modem
2. The second attempt I followed GDReaper suggestion and I used the usb cable directly on of the backports of my pc so that could have helped as well.
Another thing that was not clear to me at first were the providers code. Or well, they were clear to me that they were abbreviations for telecom providers but I did not bought these phones from a provider so I was not sure which one to pick. After a while I came to discover that I needed PHN which means Unbranded
Code:
---------------------
PHN = unbranded
TNL = Tmobile
VDF = Vodafone
Thanks all for the help
Hi there, I have a problem with my phone and I was ponited in the direction of this forum to see if anyone would be able to help out. Any assistance woud be very greatly appreciated
I am based in UK and I recently bought myself a Galaxy Note 4. 2nd Hand but as new condition. I tried to do an over the air software update to see if the phone would be able to get a more recent version of Android (it was running 5.0.1) and the phone wouldn't connect to the server. Also whe I tried to connect to Android Pay I got an error saying the device was rooted so I couldn't use the app on this phone. I therefore wanted to unroot the phone
I must stress my real technical knowledge of Android phones is basically at novice level but I tried to unroot the phone using SuperSU which I downloaded from the app store. I ran the unroot option and restarted the phone as prompted but this resulted in my phone being stuck in Bootloop. It wouldn't go past the Samsung load screen
I probably did the worst thing which was panic, went into recovery mode and attempted to factory reset to return the phone to out of box settings. I wiped the cache and did the factory reset but, of course, this hasn't resolved the problem. I then done a bit more reading and downloaded Odin and attempted to find the stock firmware for my phone (Model SM-910F), which i did, but unfortunately when I tried to flash this firmware back to my phone through Odin I get a failed error
So basically i'm on my knees trying to get some technical advice as to what else i can try or how to proceed. I did try taking it back to the Samsung Store and plead ignorance for help but the best I got there was that my main board would need replacing which would probably set me back another 200 nicker. For that money I may as well just buy a new phone. any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm currently left with a very expensive paperweight
Many thanks in advance guys

Go to odin download mode and tell me what exactly your model shows there? Maybe I can help.
Press 3 button combo while phone is turned off to go into download mode.(volume down+home+power)
Or even better if you can take picture and upload it while your phone in download mode.

Hello there.
Sorry to say but you dont have N910f international model.its refurbished and faked by n910F software.as you can see your download mode shows n910t that's the orignal motherboard model.and also it shows binaries and status custom and not official as it should.also knox is 0×1 it means it was rooted before and warranty was void.
You have sm-N910T that's T-mobile usa model.
You can download latest N910T firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares and flash through odin.
Dont try to flash n910f firmware otherwise it can be bricked and unusable.
Hope this will help.

You're welcome.
Make sure after flash firmware go to recovery by pressing (volume up+ home+ power ) while phone is off and do (data factory reset & wipe cache)otherwise it will stuck on Samsung logo at first boot.
First boot will take approximately 15 minutes.
