[Q] Unable to Unroot i9500

I am sorry if this has been asked here earlier.
The only s4 available in my country is the 9500.
I rooted the phone after i bought solely for the reason that I can delete the bloatware.
I happened to com across this MOD which makes the statusbar transparent.
Once I did that, the phone started acting funny.
I want to start over with the official stock rom.
I tried doing that by installing the official stock firmware using ODIN 3.07. Then wiped data and cache from the recovery.
It still boots with the transparent statusbar. Feels like the system files are unchanged.
Anyway I can get a fresh offcial stock rom on the device ?
Any help is of great help.

Hi,
Look HERE
I think you need to factory reset as well.
So, back up your stuff first.

I used the same tutorial to flash my phone with an official firmware. The only thing I changed was the firmware file because theres a newer version available.. the latest stock firmware was downloaded at sammobile..
please help. Is it necessary to reset the binary to 0 using triangle away for the firmware to install properly ??

What is the error that appears in ODIN? Attach one screenshot if is possible :highfive:

I have a similar question,
I have an S4 with OmegaRom, Knox has been tripped and I want to update and wipe clean to sell.
Do I need to flash the same rom that the Omega one was based upon? (I.E XXUFNC9) Or will any stock 4.4.2 rom work? As I'd like the use the latest BTU one, which is only XXUFNB8
Once I've flashed stock, I undersrtand the KNOX apps won't work again, but will the device still be updatable through OTA and KIES?
Thanks!

Does it mean I would not be able to use the N5 port rom?

I see many people using this rom for N910G in India. I've shared much detailed info about my issue. Somebody please help.

Alright, now that my n910g is stuck with that I tried installing some nameless rom and the screen doesn't really work. I need to use Spen always even to click on the dial button.
Can you suggest any good rom for Note 4 N910g?
I really need to give my phone a fresh start as this will be my first time to flash my phone.
Please help!!

Listen, Dr. Ketan's note 5 port L12 with S6 edge features is based on android 5.1.1 Australian "COH4" baseband version. So first download and install that stock firmware having COH4 baseband version using odin. Here's the link for that: www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56424/N910GDTU1COH4_N910GXSA1COH4_XSA/
And after installing this, root your phone, then install CWM recovery and install dr. Ketan's L12 version rom which you have downloaded. Your phone will work fine after that.
Baseband version of your phone plays a very important role in determining which rom you can install on your phone. For example if u liked and downloaded a samsung stock modified custom rom that has baseband version say "PQR" and suppose if your phone has baseband version "XYZ" then you cannot install that rom on your phone. To install that rom you will first need to flash the stock rom of PQR baseband version in Odin. To check which baseband version your phone is running, go to (settings >> about phone/device >> baseband version). Look at the last 3 or 4 alphabets.

Did you try my method? Did it work?

Used coh4 baseband which you said. But could not find the proper root file. Please help with the root and cwm files for 910g which work. Then i will try flashing dr.ketan rom

Yes I tried, now I am using the same baseband you have mentioned which is Australian, now the touch doesn't work well but with s pen it works fine. What to do ?>

Downloaded the stock from from sammobile and my phone was able to boot successfully. But the problem is that ever since, I tried flashing twrp recovery to flash dr.ketan rom which did not work. My phone's touch is really not working well. I have enabled touches in developer options and confirm that my s-pen works fine but when I touch the phone, it gets detected 1 cm below where I actually touch. This problem might have been created when I flashed twrp recovery because that was the first time I saw this issue.
Please help how to fix this ?

SGH-I337M unlocking?

Hello!
To begin I would like to apologize for my english and for creating another threat for this issue (I know there are several already existing).
My issue is the following, I got a Samsung galaxy S4 (sgh-I337M) here in my country (Colombia). I payed for it but didnt try to use it with my sim when I got it (which was really dumb). The phone is locked, it is from telcel and I have been trying to unlock it for sometimes. I have followed several procedures that I feel like im able to do, and there were some that were just too complicated for me (im tech savyy but dont have enough knowledge about cellphones).
I have tried several methods using the *#0011# and I even dare to try one that involved flashing the phone (using this rom I337MTCEFNE2) because it said it would be unlocked after it (didnt work).
I would like someone to help me with the process to unlock it (even if its with a link and some help understanding the basic concepts). Im in coombia and would like to use it here in my country.
So far i would also to know if by using a custom or official rom i would be able to unlock my phone, even if its using the rom from my country (that was not the original for the phone). Also looking at the roms available for Movistar )a carrier here in my country) I found that there are only roms for Kitkat, and I would really like to have lolipop... How does it work exactly?
Thanks to anyone who can assist me with this! And again, I apologize for creating another threath, but i already search a lot.

The rom I used to flash it is running on 4.4.2. So I dont download the 2 roms that you put in that post, but the original ones for the cellphone? I think this phone was supposed to be with telcel.
There are 3 roms for that carrier:

The modem rom is for 4.2.2, is there a way to upgrade my android version after following this procedure?
Sorry if i ask a lot, is just that im not sure about how roms does exactly work and what do they affect the phone.
Thank you very much for the help!

The phone will not work with a stock 4.4.2 rom and a 4.2.2 modem. After running the region unlock app, flash the stock 4.4.2 rom again, factory wipe, and the phone should be sim unlocked.
I would flash the ne2 rom, then root, 4.2.2 modem, run region unlock, then flash the latest 5.01 rom, factory wipe, reboot, and check the phone.

Back to the stock ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Hi, I've been looking for the firmware for many hours but I can't even download the Samsung Note 4 N910F firmware. Samfirm no longer works, on other hosts I download a damaged file.
I currently have ROM Resurrection installed, but I have to go back to stock, can I do it with ODIN? where can I download the firmware for N910F ITALIA NO BRAND?
can you install the stock rom also with twrp?
Thanks!

Flash by odin
Do factory reset from stock recovery after flash
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-4/firmware/SM-N910F/ITV/download/N910FXXU1DRI2/256089/
From twrp you can only flash custom roms not stock firmware.

I have issues aswell. When the setup screen should come, all kinds of services stop working (f.e. "Surface/UI stopped working")
What I tried (N910F Germany, originally T-Mobile Branding but unlocked):
- Flash Stock Rom via Odin (tried both Vanilla and T-Mobile version): https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-4/firmware/SM-N910F/DBT/
- Rom + PIT: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...te-4-pit-files-repartiton-f-g-c-t-w8-t3282641
- Rom + PIT + BL + Modem: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41392
Would need a tutorial for a clean install if Kernels or other stuff were modified like in the Ketan Rom.
EDIT: I got it to work, with the files from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/note-4-debrick-img-t3488114
Flashed everything with odin from this folder (except boot_recovery_v2.pit) https://mega.nz/#F!QIMmFRIT!Ns3AM-n0FUoMqOOWUif9ng!YN9lgLRI
I originally had a T-Mobile Brand, now its Vodafone Brand. You might try swapping the Firmware with a brandless one for Italy from Sammobile, might work and if not I don't think you crash anything with it (the files are for 5.1.1, so take a 5.1.1. Firmware and update).
