Hi guys, Ive just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4
I had the s3 and loved it but thought id get the S4, (I'm on the Three network UK If this helps)
Anyway with the s3 i rooted it, Installed CF Root, and siyah kernel and worked a treat
So when i had my S4 today i thought id root it, So i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8 did everything and everything worked fine, then i thought oh ill put the siyah kernel on from here d-h.st/users/siyah/s3 and was completely in a daze didn't even read where it said s3 or anything (Yes i know im thick as two short blanks but i do apologize in advance) and when i flashed the siyah kernal it got stuck on the booting screen where it says Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and nothing is budging it, nothing at all.
Anyway so i looked at troubleshooting things and here's what i have tried
*Taking Battery out
* Recovery mode (Power, Home and Volume Up button) clicked factory reset wipe data etc
So im out of options and in desperate need of help as i dont know what else to do so im desperate, i know im a dope for installing something but as i said i was in a daze and just doing it automatically which i know is no excuse but i am sorry.
So can anyone help as i do hope so,
Thanks in advance
Sorry Guys Its the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 not the i9500, Its the i9505,
Apologies

it should, because you flashed wrong kernel,
if not, you have to flash the whole stock firmware
Nope the kernal didnt work, So gonna have to try the stock firmware,
that would should 100% work is it?

yes.
maybe you have a corrupted partition due to the wrong flash so you need a pit file with the firmware, see my signature for tutorial
Im reading it now you know where it says: Step 4) unzip the downlowded file (from second or third post), u will get a Home.tar file.
Where do i get that file from what second or third post?

Got it, You know u said i need the pit file with the firmware, what exactly do i do with the pit file after i have downloaded it?

first flash the firmware as pda in odin, if odin gives you "no pit file" when flashing, so you must put I9505 pit file in odin as pit with the firmware as pda and flash. (all explanations are mentioned in my thread :good
Ok downloading the stock fw now ok, ill keep ya updated
thank you thank you thank you, ur a legend it works!!!
I finally pulled by S4 out of the box from December and foolishly took the OTA update to 4.3 MVLUEMK6.
I managed to root it, and install SuperSU. I cannot get any recovery installed......
Help?? I'm guessing it's an MK6 (from the build #).... Can anyone provide some insight??
I've had no issues with my S3 loading every ROM out there..........
Thanks in advance guys.

I have the same phone, loaded twrp through goo manager....some say you shouldn't do it that way ( no guarantee) is there a particular recovery your trying to load? Also be careful because our phone i337m shares the same forum as the US i337, they are different even though they are Galaxy 4S. I am sure there are likely Odin files kicking around here somewhere too....
I have TWRP on my S3.... But I'm assuming I can't load the same file via odin on the s4??

Hi All,
I REALLY screwed up and need some help....I have a stock rooted Sprint GS4 running 4.3 MK5, and I was out looking for a mod to allow incall recording, I followed a link on here that said it had a fix for this and it worked on the Sprint version of my phone, so I did a Full Titanium Backup thinking that would restore my phone if I had any problems, but it has been a while since I have played around with roms and mods and forgot about doing a Nandroid Backup....anyway... the file I flashed was supposed to replace my SecPhone.apk with a modded one that Increases call volume and allows for call recording....so I flashed it, but when I rebooted I know get an error that reads "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." with an "OK" button, when I hit the ok my whole system is very slow and unstable or just plain non responsive!
So I am looking for a fix, maybe someone has the stock sprint version of that SecPhone.apk that I can put back on my phone? Or the link to a modded APK that will give me what I was looking for to begin with?
At this point my phone is totally unusable so hopefully I can come up with a fix soon!
Or does anyone have a link to a stock 4.3 MK5 rom I can flash back on my phone?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Download a flashable zip file for a stock ROM for your device and pull it from there. That is the simplest and fastest way to get it bro. Another option is to use Moblile Odin to flash a stock tar, without wiping data and cache. I do it whenever I encounter a problem and it works fine.

SamMobile.com for the .tar file. You can find your MK5 somewhere here on XDA. I'm sure of that.

Yep, I also found it at SamMobile, downloading it now.... One question, when I load this tar file is it going to break my root? If so I will just have to root it again correct?

Thanks for all the Help guys....I flashed the Tar file this morning and all is well....I was surprised to see all my programs and setting still intact (except for root of course)....Now to just find a working solution for the Call recording and Hotspot....worse case I will just flash the TriForce Rom but I wanted to keep it primarily stock for now until I get used to the new phone.
MANY Thanks Again!

Hey just got my edge today, looks like there is very little going on as it was just released a few days ago despite it being out in the states for quite some time, the only difference I believe is the LTE in the Canadian version.
Anyways, coming from the note 2, 3 and 4 and the trtlecan version always being close to the trtletmo I decided to risk it and flash the tmo cf auto root and recovery despite there being no stock firmware laying around on sammmobile the others..
annnd I'm happy to report that I now have a TWRP recovery, rooted, SM-N915W8.
go ahead and follow the very detail steps in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
MAKE SURE TO READ THE PART ABOUT IT FAILING (to flash cwm) AND THAT BEING OK being flashing TWRP
and then the BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS inside recovery which will look like you have sleep lock if you don't fix them before letting the screen timeout
and have all 4 files on hand before you start!
Awesome, thanks for the info, I was debating it but just was being a chicken. I'm glad everything worked out. Did you make a nand? If so did you flash the nand just to make sure everything was OK? Are your root apps working without issues.? I don't mind taking the risk...just wanna be sure

I Too have a rooted SM-N915W8 (BELL VERSION but im on TELUS)
Thank you for your insight @gundal
Awesome glad it worked out for you too, now we can experiment with which kernel and os will boot without fear of bricking
Yes, I tried reflashing the backup and all is good.
Hyperdrive didn't work even with restoring our boot sector (kernel)

Haha, i was reading through and just found it funny.
Glad you guys are having luck with the Canadian model. I jumped the gun and imported one from Korea as soon as it was released and it's an awesome device!
Enjoy!
Were you guys able to flash a custom ROM? Which ROMS will work with the Canadian version? And which US Model number is 'equivalent' to the Canadian one?

Anyone try any T-Moble stuff? I didnt look myself but I ask because we all used the tmoble stuff for our old Canadian Note3s ... could be the same senerio. I think that Tmoble kernels should work..
There might be a version of Hyperdrive for tmoble..

What recovery are you using cause Im on twrp and I cant make a backup, cache partition cant be mounted either, are you having this prob too?....
Dont worry about it, someone else who had this problem fixed it by formatting cache - did that and everything went fine.

Tried flashing Hyperdrive Edge for T-Mo with both twrp (2.8.1.1) and cwm (6.0.5.1 Xiaolu) referenced in the root guide by OP. They flashed without error but I got bootlooped both times. Luckily backup/restore works for both recoveries.
Does anyone know of a way to get back to stock recovery after flashing cwm or twrp? Any known location of a stock image?

Go to sammobile web site...download the original firmware for your model and flash it. When u flash original firmware everything will be back to stock including recovery..and you will be able to receive ota update. To flash stock firmware...just use odin. Search this forum for instruction on how to flash using odin.

Yeah I know about sammobile, flashing via Odin etc. There's no stock firmware uploaded for the Canadian variants yet so I was wondering of an alternate method to flash the stock recovery. I tried extracting the recovery from the stock image via ADB shell, converting to tar.md5, then flashing with Odin but it failed....likely because I'm rooted. Guess I'll have to wait until the firmware gets uploaded. Thanks anyway.
Try contacting the sammobile team...and their forum..they maybe able to help..

Not yet. I check daily. I'm hoping someone will be able to capture it via Kies when Lollipop rolls out. It's only matter of time before sammobile gets it.

Arg, that really bites. Now I have a new phone I cant use at all. You'd think the firmware would be released when the phone was. Have you tried the other roms? I can't even gwt onto my internal sd to put them on the phone so I can try installing them. So frustrated.

SM-N915x ... ?? Canadian note edge
Hello, Same thing here i got my hands a Canadian Demo sm-915x and got told to flash it with stock firmware in order to get the phone working properly. But i cant seem to find any version of the firmware that actually works on it ...
it installed numerous times then when it reboots it shows upgrading packages , it reaches package 6 then reboots and loops over and over...
any guidance or firmware out there to recommend to try ?
Thanks
I made these ODIN Flashable Firmware and Modem files for myself. And figured I'd share them here for anyone wanting to upgrade their phone without having to download the entire ROM!
**** Warning!!! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! XDA or I am not Responsible for ANY Destruction!! ****
Install Directions:
The procedure I use to install these is, In Odin Untick 'AutoReboot', then load Modem file into AP slot, Flash! When complete, Pull battery for 5 sec. Then REBOOT into Download Mode Again.
Then in Odin, load Firmware file into AP slot, Flash! When Complete, REBOOT!
Done!
N910T ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910TUVS2EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910TUVS2EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
N910T3 ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
Enjoy!!
They are for t or t3?
Thanks
Edit. I think they are for t only. Could you upload for t3 or explain which files to use? Can I just extract from official fimware and flash the .bin in odin? If yes, which files should I extract?

Im a little unsure about your question, so ill try to answer best I can.
Yes this can be flashed with any rom, rom doesnt matter, this is flashed in Odin! It updates your Bootloader and Modem! BUT you must pay attention to what your ROM states. Some ROMS dont work Good with certain Firmware.
About the baseband, This would update it.
Since Im new to the N910T model, Im unsure about the downgrade procedure. So You might want to check that your model can be downgraded back to DOK2 once you update. Just in case your rom dont play nice with new Firmware!!
Hope this answered your question! I added install directions to OP

having issues with my Note 4 T-mobile
Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks

I would highly recommend you start a new thread for this, there are many reasons why a phone could be doing this and you need
to provide more information, like what happened before the phone was restarted, did you have a stock rom or a custom rom, were you trying to flash anything when it started restating, were you rooted, can you boot into recovery or download mode...all these things factor but like I said I would definitively start a new thread because your hijacking someone Else's and it has nothing to do with the topic.

Yes bud, you'd get better responses making your own post in question area. As I'm not on here a lot. And only people visiting this thread are few to download this link. I just seen your post.
But since I am here I'll try my best to answer you.
Judging by your post, I'm gonna assume your were on pure stock and took an Ota that went bad? Correct?
2. If you used Odin, and noticed you didn't mention getting errors.
So it leads me to ask are you using this firmware here, because this isn't the complete rom. And that's what you want!
Let me know if this is correct? Plus explain more detail? Model T or T3? Last update you were on and file you tried flashing?
And I'll help you get correct file and such.
EQE2 Modem only on DOK2 base 5.1.1 Rom?
Anyone flash just the Modem as per my title over top a Lollipop build and get any better reception or otherwise results or is this a big no go?
There are new firmware and modem QG1, hope they can be uploaded.-

Thanks, but I think those files are only for T1 variant.
Think u' re wrong, you've said to flash bootloader in AP slot (i knew in BL). Modem baseband is CP. AP is for recovery.
