Hello everybody.
I have an italian (CSC ITV) I9505. I make an upgrade from kies and after it the WIFI is not working anymore.
I press the button to turn it on and it don't turn on, try but after half second turn back to off.
When I buy it was working. It have only a month of live.
I tried every official firmware, holos fix, but nothing change.
Tried with odin 3.04, 3.07.
Could someone help me. I don't tried anything of not official, maybe I have to send back to samsung.
You need to flash the WiFi fix, what version you using at the moment?
I already flash wifi fix but wifi don't start.
I have flash last pre rooted official
MGA.
There are any options to completely wipe a rom with flash?

Hi,
Did you wipe data,cache and dalvik when you flashed pre-rooted ROM?
I wipe everything that I can wipe with stock recovery

Hi,
May I suggest you wipe data,cache and dalvik,then, flash pre-rooted ROM again in ODIN.

Do, but nothing change
Unfortunately my phone is out DOA time so I have to send to SAMSUNG not to my carrier
I dunno what went wrong here...
1) I have GT-I9505 (SSN: -I9505GSMH). I installed Galaxy S4 toolkit
2) Reboot into download mode. Used toolkit/Odin to root phone. Boots up. See SU.
3) Reboot into download mode. Used toolkit/Odin. Flashed TWRP Recovery
4) Phone boots up normal. Reboot into TWRP recovery. Did a factory Reset. Format.
5) Installed Zip (Latest Omega 9.0 ROM), unchecked the things I didn't want to install. Completed install, no errors reported. Rebooted.
6) Phone stuck on Samsung boot screen. I left it overnight thinking sometimes it may take 15 mins to boot system after new install.
7) Woke up, battery dead. Tried to charge phone. No charging indicators when plugged in. With whatever juice I had left I booted into TWRP recovery, it starts to charge again as I see the % batter increase after 5 mins.
-=-=-=-=- Did the Following to try to repair
a) Reinstalled Omega, this time leaving alll options on. Rebooted, stuck in Samsung boot
b) Flashed Phil CWM touch recovery, did complete wipe to install new ROM. Rebooted into Phil recovery. Flashed OMEGA. Reboot, stuck in Samsung boot.
c) Rebooted into Phil recovery, installed echo ROM, rebooted. Black screen. Rebooted into Phil. This time cannot get into recovery.
d) Started panicking, used Odin flashed TWRP. Would not flash. Something displayed about PIT error. Flashed Phil again. Reboot into recovery, WORKS! (recovery only). Went back into Download mode flashed TWRP. Rebooted, also WORKS!. Did a factory wipe. During wipe there was an error. Format, factory reset, error during wipe. Flashed OMEGA. Reboot. Stuck on samsung boot loop.
e) Downloaded official Samsung kernal for i9505 thinking it was the full flash rom. Flashed with ODIN (hoping to put everything back to factory). Completed flash, phone boots. I get OMEGA ANIMATION!!! Waited for 15 mins. Stuck on Animation. Reflashed TWRP. Rebooted, installed OMEGA...again. Stuck on samsung boot screen.
-=-=-= Kinda frustrated. What did I do wrong in the beginning?
There are so many official roms for the S4 based on region. What can I do to put it back to factory again? I purchased phone in Australia @ Samsung store. I figured download the Australia ROM but there are like 5 of them 4 being network branded roms I think. THe other one XSA is unbranded?
I tried searching for help but so far nothing works.
omega ROM or any other custom ROM uses single CSC so before booting into system you must boot into stock recovery to apply CSC of that ROM, download stock recovery of that firmware the ROM was built from
after applying CSC it will work if not flash Omega 9.0 again , it will work :good::good:

Thanks for responding
So I take it when I did the full factory wipe and FORMAT the formatting part erased the CSC?
The steps are:
1) Find stock recovery of the original ROM OMEGA was built on. Use odin, flash that specific recovery. ( I might as well do a complete flash of the original stock firmware)
2) Use odin, replace recovery with TWRP, flash Omega this time no formatting
Reboot should be ok?

first use CWM or TWRP or whatever you want and format everthing
flash a fresh firmware(latest i prefer)
then flash stock recovery via odin of the built version what v9 was used, simply reboot to recovery and it will say MULTI CSC APPLIED from fresh frimware you used
then flash TWRP/CWM and flash v9
again simply reboot to recovery and it will say MULTI CSC APPLIED from V9
it will reboot, you must need to apply CSC to boot your phone
I can confirm this!
I was trying to flash Omega 9 on top of jamal's 4.3 and my phone always booted to recovery. So I restored my stock touchwiz (no custom recovery or even root) nandroid backup and applied Omega 9: it worked!

I need help. I am on stock build i9505XXUBMG5. then I rooted it using CF-autoroot. and i used the 1.85 version of ODIN. (Does the version of ODIN affect how the phone is rooted?) Anyways, After that, it is rooted. then after some time, my Wifi is not working or not turning on. I checked google and found the *#0011# method and turned off the Wifi power saving. Then, at first, it worked. After a while, the problem insists. but randomly turns on. I observed that in the *#0011# -> wifi window, the state is power off. but when it is completely not turning on, the state is now disconnected. How can I fix this?
I tried flashing Omega ROM, because there was a wifi fix on that ROM. But when I finished flashing it and continue to reboot, it's stuck on the boot animation. It is not even the Omega robot animation, just the original animation. (Another problem) i tried wiping cache, delvik cache and data but nothing happens.

Do you have an IMEI showing on your phone? What recovery did you use to flash Omega?
It matters, because some recoveries will screw it up.
Do you try to install with Philz recovery?

At this point I think it is the CSC issue arnob-xperia mentioned.
This is how I corrected my issue.
1) Omega v10 uses newer base FW. In their description it tells u. (ex: ver 9 uses XUBMG5). Search on the i9505 forums here. I can't link for some reason I can't see any of the stickied threads, especially the one listing all avail stock firmwares.
Flash into Philz or TWRP do a complete wipe of everything including data. etc.
You MUST download the full firmware, Not just the smaller kernel and recovery or csc. The full stock fw is usually over 1.6 GB. Anything around that range and u got the right one for Odin flash with the md5. Use Odin to flash. I used 1.85 and it was fine.
2) Once done it will reboot and in theory you are stock everything. At this point, for me somehow the phone got stuck in fricken boot loop. I pulled out battery, reboot into stock recovery and made sure I saw the multicsc. Rebooted. Still boot loop.
After hours of doing all sorts of things and putting the phone aside for a day. Came back, flashed the stock fw again using Odin. Reboot into recovery. Check the multi csc. Reboot. Stuck in boot loop. Reboot to download mode. Then I decided to ROOT the phone for ****s and giggles. This worked!
Phone booted.
3) Now you have stock (for that specific OMEGA fw) w/ the matching CSC. From here on follow OMEGA flash instructions for the specific things it tells u to wipe. DO NOT DO A FULL WIPE/FORMAT like I did (what got me in the mess to begin with).
** For Galaxy S3s, S4s, for some reason I've always had problems with TWRP. I had better luck using Philz. Everyone's personal experience varies on this one.
** I think the problem has to do with the CSC which handles specific region phone and carrier modes. This doesn't mean that it won't work if you use a diff region CSC. Just that it has to match the FW base you are using otherwise you have all sorts of problems. After that you can go in android and setup your APNs etc if you have probs with data. I didn't have this problem and was testing using the UK fw base on AU network sim.
*** Why does Samsung make things so damn complicated. I remember way back in 2k3 using fricken ODIN (samsung flashing utitility) to flash **** and it was the same setup as now. This whole crap about CSC pairing is a bit annoying. It is bad enough there are 6+ variations of S4s lol...
Hope this helps.

I did flash the Omega v9.1 and applied the wifi fix but the wifi is still broken. I tried unrooting it by flashing the original rom and formatting the data but the wifi is still broken. I can't turn it on. Thanks for the instructions anyways. ))
no pit partition
also, when i tried to root it again, it fails and says there is no PIT partition..
Where is the csc in TWRP so I can so what ones on the phone..??
What stock firmware can I use for a Orange Network in the UK.
GT-i9505 stuck on boot when upgraded from omega v16 to v21
Hello guys,
Well, I followed all the instructions and flashed new bootloader and new modem and after that I installed omega v21 with Full swipe. After that I ended up stuck in boot animation. :s What to do? I already tried to re-flash modem and bootloader, updated CWM and tried to re-install that v21 and after that I flashed twrp over cwm and tried to re-install v21 but always I ended up stuck in that boot animation. :S All installs were successful, but it just wont boot.
What to do?
Hopefully you understand my problem.
Cheers from Finland!
Nico
EDIT:
Ok, I flashed omega rom v19 with full wipe and tried to boot. Didnt work, but then I installed Kies to my computer, opened Kies, Plugged USB in and started my phone and then Kaboom! It booted. What exactly happened there?

Hi, I am having the same problem. First I installed the new firmware (NA5) and modem, tested it with the Omega ROM v21 and boot caught on so now tested the rom Fox Hound 4.1 and am having the same problem.
Kies tested this option but have not had the same luck as you. = /
Anyone know the reason? The rom Google Edition Jamal runs on my phone.

On flashing a Custom Rom, my phone gets stucked with continous FC ("Unfortunately Phone Crashed","Press OK") just after the phone boots.
I had faced the same problem earlier so someone on XDA suggested to use twrp recovery. Then i flashed the purity rom and it worked fine, but then as you may know now, as PA is out, so flashed it and again i'm getting continuous fc error....
currently i'm using purity rom, stock kernel and twrp recovery (2.6.3.3)
I would flash back to a stock 4.2.2 and start over. I find that this is the only way I can install certain roms.

Strange. Are you updating the bootloader and radio before flashing a 4.4 rom?
Are you doing a factory reset???? And flashing a proper gapps after ROM? You should always do this when going from one ROM to another. Sometimes a manual format of /system is necessary also.
no i am not updating my bootloader and radio before flashing (rather didn't know if i had to update them,fyi i bought my nexus 4 this september)....and yes i'm doing a factory reset (using the wipe option in twrp recovery which warns clearing of data, cache and dalvik memory)
Dear XDA
I have been an android user for many years and rooting has been one of the things I always did to my devices. I am an owner of a Note 3, which I have rooted succesfully and used X-NOTE 13 rom for long time. Last week I wanted to try something new and after that everything seems to be impossible. Before I install any roms I always perfom full wipe of, system, data, cache, dalvik cache etc. (I do it inside the recovery). Afterwards I tried to install CRASH ROM V9 and the progress went fine. When the phone rebooted the strange things started to happened I couldn't find the rom's extra menu and couldnt find any of the functions that the rom contained. I just thought that it was problem with the rom itself therefore I tried to went back to X-NOTE, but without any luck. The X-NOTE installed probably but I couldnt boot into it, it was stucked at the "Samsung Note 3" logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik but without any luck and every time I rebooted from the recovery the recovery says "it seems your device doesnt have root access" and the recovery tries to gain root access.
Then I couldnt understand anything of what was happening so I went to stock using ODIN. After installing stock rom I used CF-ROOT and everythings went smooth and I could use SuperSU inside the stock rom. Then I installed a recovery and it didn't mentioned anything about root access, so I was ready to install my custom rom...at least I thought so....I installed X-NOTE again (because I knew that this rom worked before without any problems) and after the progress was done I couldnt boot into the rom again, it was stucked. I wiped the cache and dalvik and as soon I clicked reboot in recovery it tells me that I am not rooted.
Then I did the same thing again, went back to stock, installed CF-ROOT and recovery. This time I installed CRASH ROM instead and I could boot into the system, but the rom still misses the "rooted features" etc.
In other words, what have I done wrong? I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I have tried every possible solution?
Informations:
Model: SM-N9005
STOCK ROM: Tried both N9005XXUENB4 (German) and N9005XXUENC2 (Nordic firmware)
Custom Rom: Tried both X-NOTE and CRASH ROM
Recoveries used: TWRP, CWM and Philz CWM
Kernels: Tried with stock one and X-NOTE kernel 1.5
I hope you can help me I cant live with stock roms
Thanks in advance

Nepoznati

weird.
all the rom you mentioned xnote & crash come with root access inside.
When you said you used all those 3 recoveries, did you try each rom with each recovery ?
and when you flash those rom, did you follow to do a clean full wipe as mentioned on each OP thread ?
clean full wipe is not only wipe cache and dalvik, but also the data (factory reset).

Yes I have and tried several other combinations too. First time I installed X-NOTE I wiped everything and installed X-NOTE without problems.
I cant seem to break the code, I am getting frustrated hour by hour. I have double checked everything, I am on the NC2 bootloader with the NC2 kernel, when trying to install X-NOTE I get stuck at "Samsung Glaxy Note 3" - I cant understand what the problem may be and it is beginning to be personal :/ heheh
But seriously what could I have done wrong?

To be frank... I have no idea. U flash before earlier, means u know how to flash it.
What I could think of, is just the recovery.
I ve been using cwm chenglu all this time (the one reported with less bugs, and most recommended at any rom thread). And jump from rom to rom every 1 week at least with no issue.
I will try tonite use twrp to flash rom. I will let u know if I face any problem.

Finally, finally and finally solved!
Well it seems strange but the problem was the official kernel inside the stock roms that made it almost impossible to run any custom rom.
What I did to solve the problem:
1. Went back to stock rom using a rom with the newest baseband NC2, ex. N9005XXUENC2
1a. I did have som problems getting the bootloader updated, which means I was force to install it over ODIN 3.09 - use this bootloader NC2 BOOTLOADER (Thanks soloilmeglio for the bootloader)
2. I used CF-ROOT to gain root access
3. Then I installed CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery as recommended from antique_sonic (Updated few hours ago!)
4. Install the CivZ-SnapKat-Rev3.1-sm_n9005-4.4.2.zip kernel
5. Lets the phone reboot and check that everything works!
7: Boot into recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
8. Install the custom rom
Dont ask me why the kernel wasn't working from beginning and why it was "corrupted" after installing another custom rom - but now everything works as it should!
Thank you very much antique_sonic for helping me!

It could probably be a problem with TWRP as you mentioned earlier. After using CWM everything went smooth after updating my kernel. Last night I couldnt hold me back to try one more time, and I flashed X-NOTE with TWRP and I got the same problem as described in #1 post. Then I installed CWM and flashed X-NOTE again and everything got messed up. Then I restored everything, force installed the kernel and bootlaoder. After that installed CWM and then I was able to run X-NOTE without any problem.
I am not a professional developer but I may think that the problem is TWRP when it tries to flash the kernel under the process with may results in some problems. When using CWM from the beginning I do not get any problems but when using TWRP I need to restore everything back.
I need some help, I really don't know what to do anymore..
I've installed the optimized cyanogenmod 13 and now my sensors don't work. It works randomly for about 10-20 minutes then stops. The only sensor that works without any problem is the light one..
I don't know what can I do. Can this be from hardware, even working sometimes?
All the sensors are recognized by phone, they just don't work.
I've already jumped into a lot of ROMs and nothing. I've already done a full wipe (system, data, caches, internal) and installed official stock ROM and nothing.
Now I'm on lollipop 9.0 and I can't get this to work even for 10 minutes, but I know that on other rom it will work for about 10 minutes.
What can I do?
Did you install the latest official stock or just any stock rom with Odin?

I don't know if has anything to do, but if you have a s4 with root, can you please verify if in your folder "persist" have anything? It stays right in the root.
Thanks!
Weird that stock didn't fix the issue. You also performed a factory wipe from stock recovery before booting the newly-flashed ROM for the first time?
Sorry, I don't have an s4 with me at the moment. I can check later today.

Weird that stock didn't fix the issue. You also performed a factory wipe from stock recovery before booting the newly-flashed ROM for the first time?

Do you mean the recovery that comes with stock rom? I never used him. My wipes I always do from TWRP
I really don't know what else I can do. I don't want to change de motherboard :/.. I still think that is from software
You should try wiping with stock recovery.

Install the stock rom again, then turn off phone, power+volume up+home and do a wipe data/cache factory reset? Is this different from the TWRP wipe?
Maybe I can do this wipe via settings on the system?
On lollirom 9.0 I can't get them working even for 10 minutes
Sometimes, a wipe using stock recovery works better than a wipe using a custom recovery.
Flash with Odin and use stock recovery to wipe before booting the stock ROM for the first time.

Ok.. I'll try to do this and I post the result here. This not working, there's anything else I can do?
Not sure what else to try as flashing stock and wiping with stock recovery usually fixes software glitches.

Yes, perfectly. Never had this issues before optimized cyanogenmod 13 :/. That's why I think its from software, but I have no idea what to do anymore..
I am at a loss too. The phone shows the correct imei, baseband, and bootloader?

Yes. The phone is 100% ok, just the sensors not working.. Now even for 10 minutes is working :/, just the light sensor
Anything else I can do? :/
Dont know if a logcat can help, but..
I just started the phone and searched for "gyro"
As you can see, gyro_sensor was not found.. Maybe we got something here?????
--edit--------
Searching now I found that this is something about .idc files, right in /system/usr/idc. I just don't know what file.. @audit13
How about flashing a custom rom that is based on the original stock rom?
