Hi all.
I purchased a z3x box and on an old i9505 phone I tried to get it to connect and after some success I then realised I needed to flash from 4.4 to 4.2 for it to work correctly.
Now where I think I made the mistake is I had to change the settings in the *#0808# menu and the *#9090# menu and never changed them back when I went to flash the 4.2 firmware in Odin.
I have tried to flash a i9505 PIT file along with stock rom but still no joy.
Can anyone please shed any light on solution.

You can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 because of the Knox bootloader.

Brother dont worry.
Just flash the any 4.4.2 i9505 stock firmware via odin and it'll go away.
You can download one from www.sammobile.com/firmwares
And remember never ever flash anything below 4.4.2 from now.
Not even 4.3.
You might get a brick after excessive forced tries..
Press Thanks if I helped

Hello, it is 1 month that I bought the s4.
Until recently, no problem,
but after upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.3 gave me problems to wi-fi..
wi-fi does not active,
I press to activate, but not active.
I already tried to do the factory reset but nothing is not working
pleas help me....!
IM ITALIAN :crying:
Have you flashed any custom roms on your device? Also what version is your S4? (I9500,9505...)
Sent from my Galaxy S4 with 4.4 KitKat
Remove battery for one minute and insert it again, go into download mode, then flash your firmware again. If this will not help then you must flash wifi fix for your rom revision (it is simply modem files only). sometimes when flashing 4.3 modem files do not stick/flash thats why your wifi is not working, you can check if it is true in system info where modem version is shown, if it is different than flashed firmware... thats why wifi is not working).
If helped please click thanks
how do I flash the single file of wi-fi?
I already tried to flash with odin the original firmware but it does not work

dude if u have gurantee and u aint voided just take it to them they will fix it
Sup guys. I have a problem with my S4. I doubt anyone will be able to help me find a fix but its worth a try. I hope someone will help.
Anyway, I flashed my GT-i9500 (Galaxy S4) from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Now it doesnt boot, It just gets stuck at the 2nd boot screen. Its not even a bootloop. It just hangs there. The S4 sound that plays gets cut like halfway.
I tried flashing a lot of different ROMS, and it still does the same thing. When I rooted it, I noticed the boot welcome sound plays full, but it still hangs after that.
I used Philz Recovery and mounted all the folders etc, but efs says invalid. So that means the EFS folder is messed. I get that, but I cannot repair the EFS if I cant boot the phone, I need the Samsung MTP **** for Samsung Tool to work. I have an N7100 (Note 2) Where I repaired the EFS with Samsung Tool, I was able to boot the phone.
I looked ALL over the net including this forum and found nothing. Right now the phone is just worth nothing. This is my last option, to ask here myself. If it cant be fixed I just cut my losses and get another phone.
I also flashed a PIT file, CSC file, Modem file during the period I was trying to get this fixed. If anybody knows this problem, It'll be very helpful.
Thanks.
you could try upgrading to 4.4, i have all the files for omega v21
heres the link for all the stuff from my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_trhAurRvdmb0RkNGpoTkVNU0k&usp=sharing
instal the bootloader and phone file via odin, bl = bootloader cp = goes into the phone part of odin
then fash the rom via philz recovery, worth a try !!
good luck
That wouldn't work, thats for the Snapdragon variant I think. The i9505. I have the i9500. I'll download the Omega ROM for i9500 and try it anyway.
Thanks.
Still doesnt work.

Did you tried complete of phone, than power and vol up, at the buzz lose vol up and at loge lose power button.
and then flash with odin bl. and modem
etc.
I've flashed with Odin & Recovery.
I flashed another bootloader, XXUEMK8 & Odexed Knox Free Stock ROM XXEUMK8 & it still does the same. I dont know whats wrong with it.
Another thing I forgot to mention is if I root it using Odin, the welcome sound plays full and it hangs, and if I reboot it, the welcome sound goes back to cutting off again.
This phone probably cant be fixed. I dont know wtf's wrong with this phone. This is WORSE than hard bricked.
oh & as I mentioned before, I have a Galaxy Note 2 & had an EFS problem with it. I fixed it, the difference was this Note 2 actually booted properly with any ROM installed. I used a Z3X Box & Samsung Tool to fix up the EFS. Maybe this problem is only with i9500 or with i9500 & newer models.
Eeeer don't mean to point out the obvious here but you did do a factory reset in stock recovery after flashing stock 4.3 in Odin? That's all you needed to do at the start.
When I went from 4.2 to 4.3 I couldn't get it to boot at all unless I performed factory reset after flash.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
I came from a rooted Samsung org. rom 4.3 to omega v21.1 Android 4.4.2
After this i tried slimkat, and had from first start the same issue, no booting.
Nothing works
only starting with power and vol. up as descried above, I could flash XXUFNA5 bootloader & modems.
After this twrp.
And at last I flashed S4 Google Edition - 4.4.2, a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S 4
Thanks for the help people.
I gave up on trying. I tried everything even factory reset after flashing, different ROMS, different Android versions. 4.1.2, 4.2.2 & 4.3. Today I ended up selling the phone's LCD. Atleast I didnt everything. lol. Wouldn't be buying another Samsung EVER. I was thinking I need another box and stuff, like NSPRO but I dont have that.

You also need to add some of the stuff it is written in download mode and the log in Odin when in fails. If you went to 4.4.2 on N9005 you can not return to 4.3 (which you should have read by now, there are only 200 posts in 50 threads about it). What kind of N9005 was yours (16/32/64GB), what region/CSC?

After installing DBT NB4 FW ( or with Polish NB3 FW) my LTE speeds become almost 0.
I tried multiple installs.
Any guidance?
Quick tip: Uninstall KIES.
Kies is like a big brother.
Use ODIN 1.85 and tick update phone bootloader. That's how I fixed mine. The other versions of Odin wouldn't let me update bootloader.
Of course, before you do this Flash/wipe data in recovery mode.
But uninstalling KIES solved my issue.

Try flashing just the latest modem. And then keep the phone off for a few minutes. (Uncheck autoreboot from odin while flashing modem)
In addition are the baseband version and imei number okay?

As the gentlemen said above, it will just be the modem. It seems like your friend has flashed a new rom, possibly 4.3 or 4.4.# and hasn't got the correct modem. Tell him to search on Sam Mobile for the correct modem for his device numbers and flash it via odin, again as stated above.
After all that, it should be fine!
the thing is, he doesnt know how to flash roms and this stuff, and he had the 4.2.2 stock, i flashed the 4.4.2 stock....but doesnt the rom contain a modem??

It does contain. But separately flashing modems and keeping the phone off just after the flash does magic at times.
Uncheck autoreboot while flashing via odin.
If you're flashing the recovery flashable modem, flash and then tun the phone off and pull the battery out.

Hello,I had this rom installed(https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-super-wizcyan-29-nov-15-t3259562) and since I'm kind of noob I tried to downgrade to this one ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454205). I flashed it in TWRP recovery and when the phone finished and restarted i got into a bootloop( i think that's how it's called) - the samsung logo with the light from behind but that's it. I cannot open the TWRP recovery anymore,I cannot restore the stock firmware with KIES, I tried to restore 5.0.1 lollipop stock firmware through ODIN with and without PIT file and also 4.4.2 stock ( i did not find one for my country - Romania, I found one for Germany). Please help me with this issue..I will install any software and just leave it if it works..I just need my phone .. yep,desperate ..)
I'm sorry if I broken any rule by opening a new thread I'm just desperate to solve this issue..been working at it for almost 4 hours..
L.E. Odin says there is no partition when trying to flash the stock roms so i used this PIT file ( CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit)
Have you tried Smart Switch?

I don't really know what that is or how should I do it )
Problem fixed. I flashed from a different pc a complete stock rom(bootloader,pit file,csc and all of the other stuff) and it worked perfectly.
