Hi guys,
I got my S4 back from the service center today and wanted to re-root the device, however to my surprise my i9505 was apparently upgraded to a i9506 (probably changed the motherboard) at the service center. I didn't have prior knowledge or warning regarding this, as such I assumed the phone was still a i9505 and flashed TWRP for i9505 through ODIN on my i9506 instead and now my phone is stuck on the bootloader screen with the error :"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I'm not really certain what I should do to fix it, i suppose this is a soft brick and should be possible to recover? What should I do to get it fixed? Reflash the stock i9506 firmware through ODIN?
Yes, just re flash the stock one

Hi all
I desperately need help i have no idea what to do anymore. Yes i tried to root and rom my phone and i messed up now i cant get it back to just normal functionality.
I downloaded a custom rom and installed twrp 2.6 recover. I flashed a rom and when i started it i only noticed that it was for a Galaxy s2. I could not get out of the setup so it ran and failed. After that i have had the problem that the phone boots fine and goes into any app and has full
functionality until i set it down and the phone locks itself, then the lag is so huge i have to restart my phone to get anything done.
I have tried flashing the correct Omega v13 rom and does the same. Also dit the same with the backup that i made with TWRP before i did the first flash.
Also i tried to get it back to the stock firmware using the following guides.

How to Unroot and Restore Official Stock Firmware for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & GT-I9505 | WhatsWithTech.
I have flashed it and done every step correctly but when it boots the first time the whole touch screen doesnt react only the return and home keys work on first startup. If i restart the phone at this point (Just flashed stock firmware re partition with PIT file and new stock kernel) i can complete it but the same problem persists
Please tell me someone can help me fix this screwup.
I have a GT- I9500 Octacore international with Jellybean 4.2.2

Good luck with the problem(s) you're having, however.
Hi,I'm new here and i have a problem my phone is showing the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.".I don't know how to fix this:crying:.
my phones status in odin mode isroduct name:SM-G7102
Current binary:Custom
System status:Custom
i was running the Indian NG7 4.4.2 rom.i cant flash the G4 rom because it will only show an error.i think i need to flash a G7 rom instead of G4 am i right or wrong?and if someone can reply i will be very grateful.
If you already had CWM installed earlier, flash it again using odin. Once done you will be able to turn on your phone with whatever version of rom u have installed already.
thank you for replying but everything is all wiped EVERYTHING Boot,system,etc i was running the stock android 4.4.2 it was only rooted i can flash cwm through odin after that waht can i do?

heyy bro same problem here...although i flashed the stock recovery and binary went back to Official but status was custom... tried a lot to flash the G4 firmware but couldn't.... hence i gave it to service centre..wont get warranty.. they said if they succeed by updating the software then it will be $3.27 else they will unroot which may cost $12.26.....
i just want my phone back to life:crying:
Yeah we have the same problem so did you manage to fix it? I think to fix it via odin we need the official NG7 rom from samsung but they haven't released it in sammobile or at samsung updates

Initialize your grand 2 firmware using kies. It will install the latest firmware but you will lose root. [emoji4]
Hello guys.
My brother has S4 i9500 and he recently updated his phone via ota (official samsung update). But the update could not be done successfully and he removed the battery after waiting for 45 mins.
The result, the phone lost its BASEBAND version and IMEI.
1. The phone is not rooted. Therefore no efs Backup.
2. It's out of warranty.
3. The Samsung service centre said the motherboard need to be replaced which will cost $100-120.
4. I did factory reset already. No help. Now the phone is back to the 4.4.2 android.
Pls help me guys. How can I get the IMEI and BASEBAND version back.

In the future, please do not cross post. That's frowned upon at virtually every forum.
Just flash the latest lollipop and you will be fine.
Try to flash lollipop moderm, it might help ...
