Just sits there for ages - any ideas? I'm using the Octoplus Box btw. I have requested help from the Octoplus team but they are slow to answer and I need to get this phone fixed for a customer.
Thanks!

try this.

Got the IMEI fixed but the screen goes black now when I try to make a call. Any ideas of how to fix? I was thinking about tying to flash the phone with Odin again with the same 4.2.2 stock rom. The microphone also doesn't work during the call.

Will not instal OTA software update Plus MTP problem

Hi all
Just bought an unlocked Sprint S4
Two problems
The lollipop OTA update aborts with message: "/system/media/BST_bootsamsung.qmg" has unexpected contents.
E: Error in /cache/update.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.
Secondly when connecting the S4 to a PC I get message from PC saying: 'the last usb device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it'
I've installed kies no help there.
searched for remedies tried developer options etc on the phone all to no avail.
cannot get windows to recognise the phone as mtp device
when I plug it in I get no notifications on the phone
it does show its charging
running windows 10
Sorted the usb problem, used the direct computer usb port and it was recognised, presumably not enough power from hub ports.
Can anyone help with the failure to update to lollipop?

Why won't Mobile Odin flash Android 5.0.1 on my S4 GT-I9505?

I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 that I purchased online. It turns out that the Android firmware (4.4.2) does not match the phone's CSC code. I have been trying to flash a stock ROM for Android 5.0.1 that *does* match the phone's CSC code, but Mobile Odin won't proceed. My phone is properly rooted, and Mobile Odin starts correctly, but when I try to open the tar.MD5 file, it says "Partition could not be found in file." It did let me wipe the phone, and the phone properly booted up again in 4.4.2. What can I do to make this work?
Would it help to flash an Android 4.4.2 that matches the phone's CSC? Is there something else I can try? I'm fairly new at this kind of hacking, but I'm learning quickly! Here are my phone's details:
Android version: 4.4.2
Product Code: GT-I9505ZKAXSG
Original CSC Code: XSG
Firmware CSC: XSG
PDA Version: I9505XXUGNG2
Bootloader Version: I9505XXUGNG2

Thanks for any help you can offer. Oh, also, just to make clear, I cannot connect this phone to a desktop with a USB cord -- I have tried every possible variety of driver install, and #$%&* Windows will not recognize the phone.
Let's verify your phone model. Enter download mode (power, volume down, and the home button) and read off the device's model number at the top left of the screen. As to the driver issue, you really want to get that resolved. Download the driver from here and install it.
If you do not want your phone to be bricked, I suggest you stay away from Mobile Odin.
Use FlashFire instead. Same principe, only newer.

Thanks for your help. The phone model listed in download mode is GT-I9505.
I tried the driver that you linked to, but it didn't work--I suspect when my phone once fell off a table while plugged into the charger, the phone connection got damaged. I can charge the battery just fine, but connecting to a computer through the cord is no longer possible. However, I have been successfully transferring stock ROM files onto the phone with the Software Data Cable app.
Then replace the connector. That board is separate from the motherboard and shouldn't be too expensive.

It sounds like there was either an issue when flashing or a problem with the firmware you have used.
I would advise using Smart Switch on your computer to force another update instead of using ODIN.
Type *#06# and make a note of your serial number then turn off the device.
Open Smart Switch on your PC (Download Here if you don't have it) then in smart switch press MORE then select 'Emergency Software Recivery and Initialization'
Put the phone into Download Mode and connect to PC and wait for drivers to install (you may get a message saying it is incompatible, ignore it).
Click on the Device Initialization tab.
Enter your device model 'SM-G935F' and press OK. Then type in your devices Serial then press OK.
Now follow all steps until device is flashed. This could fix the issue.

You can go to download mode to check your exact hardware model. The things in download mode can't be changed and are telling you the truth.
To go to download mode, power off your device completely and then press volume up + bixby + power button. it will ask you if you really want to continue, press yes and then look what it say by "Model Name". If you're at it already, also check the "warranty void" if its 0 or 1 (0x0 or 0x1).
To exit Donwload mode just press volume down + power button for 7 seconds.
You then can download the newest software for which ever device you have.
@jaannnis
Thank you! So in download mode, i found no phone model, instead i found carrier:xaa also the waranty void is 0x0 (no rooted). I google a little bit and found that is the USA unlocked. Also i just realised the back of my phone written model SM-G950U1. I think my hardware is USA unlocked but the firmware is hongkong (is hongkong better than usa unlocked??)
So what do you think i should? the safest way please. i have no waranty, i bought it online shop and the shop is closed.
should i flash usa unlocked firmware with odin? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U1/XAA/download/G950U1UEU2CRB9/214007/
or hongkong? or with smart switch?
Edit update:
1. so i tried smart switch 4.1.17054_16 with device initialization, with various combination (correct uncorrect model, correct uncorrect S/N).
- With wrong sn and anything samsung model the pop up is "unable to find the serial number, model name, or IMEI on the server. Please check and try again"
- correct sn and anything samsung model except SM-G950U1, the pop up is "please check the model name and S/N, and enter them again"
- correct sn and SM-G950U1 the pop up is, " 'SM-G950U1' does not support initializing. Please contact our service center."
2. Odin 3.12.3 with SM-G950U1, 2017 december nougat. The installation failed.
hope it helps to overcome my problems. thx
