Hello,
First I must say, that I'm not English native speaker, so sorry for any language mistakes.
I have a pretty serious problem with my Galaxy S4 LTE I9505. I downloaded the latest official ROM for my model (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_XEO) from SamMobile and I wanted to flash it via Odin 3.07 (previously I had CyanogenMod 10.2). But during the flashing process Odin give me "FAIL".
After that my phone was showing downloading screen with this information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Sansung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
SW. REV: CHECK FAIL: fused: 2, Binary: 1
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course I was trying Emergency Recovery option in Kies, but it was failing all the time. I also was trying to flash it again, but Odin again shows me "FAIL" during the process. So I choose re-partition with PIT file and stock, branded ROM (I9505XXUAMDE_I9505PLSAMD8_I9505XXUAMDE_HOME). And it works, now I can boot my phone and original recovery without any problems, but unfortunatly I can't enable Wi-Fi module and any function that needs sounds just don't work (phone calling, system sounds, notifications etc.). Kies don't want to update my OS from stock, branded version to newest one (error while updating device). I also tried this on different PC, but it's always showing "FAIL" in Odin.
What should I do to get back to stock firmware? Right now I can only send text messanges and use internet via carrier data plan...

re flash your original updated firmware. let it boot up and then do a factory reset vol up-power and home. hope this helps
You can install the any stock rom that ends on H8
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
You will not have root access anymore and are stucked with unremovable annoying system apps...
But thats the price to pay to have your phone back. I was phoneless for 3 days because of this. I'm happy to be still alive, but also wondering if live without root is worth it..

And then after flashing do a full data wipe and clean it up via stock recovery.

Download it from here
Search your phone's model number..
You can choose any country you wish to. But do not download any firmware that has a carrier written next to it. Dont download a network specific rom.
EXAMPLE: You have to download Brazil instead of Brazil (TIM)
Then flash it via Odin v3.09 by selecting the downloaded file in the PDA section
You can find many guides regarding how to flash via odin here.
And if you have the old bootloader then download any old file relating to your phones model number.
Remember if youre once on android 4.3, you cannot go back to 4.2.2
And if youre once on 4.4.2, there is no way you can revert to 4.3/4.2.2.
Bdw can you send me a screenshot of your current android version and baseband version? (Settings-->About phone)

No dont download the unknown ones.
Personally speaking, Ive never tried them and wont ever try them
Download any, but without the carrier specified for i9505.(Singapore,Brazil,Slovakia etc.)
And you can do a data wipe first and then flash or vice versa.
I used to enter the rom first and everything used to crash
then performed a data wipe via stock recovery amd everything was back to normal
But anyways, anything would do.
About the bootloaders. If youre already on 4.4.2, you have a knox enabled bootloader. So you won't be able to flash anything below 4.4.2.
Download and flash stock firmware and see if the same happens repeatedly.
At times flashing twice has also solved issues.
And pressing thanks is more than saying thanks

There is no point in reflashing the stock firmware.
You need to fully wipe in the custom recovery and reflash the custom rom.
If you still have problems then try a different rom, preferably a non TW rom, like CM.
If you then still have the problems it's probably hardware failure.

Now IMO youre flashing the wrong Omega/Pheonix Version that is why the FCs are there.
Because there have been drasctic changes from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.
Either update to 4.4.2 or CM

that is happened to me last year but the solution is changed the original IMEI in order to get back the baseband. because there is a possibility that your IMEI is blocked in samsung.

As long as it's an n9005 you can flash firmware for any country. There are certain limitations off course such as do not flash HongKong firmware, do not flash older firmware than the current one and a few others.
How many firmware have you flash to recover your imei?. Flashing stock firmware would bring the imei back but off course not all the time. Try the latest one from sammobile

The IMEI is under the battery. Phone INFO Samsung from Play should give you some info about the phone itself. There are several ways to retrieve an original IMEI and EFS - do a search and see what comes up. But flashing Stock SHOULD work - if you have a HK phone it's awkward because they seem to have different PIT files.
I managed to try root method using SpaceX kernel yesterday, and grant a root access, but I think I messed up on something. :crying:
I tried to freeze and delete some stock apps like Google Music and anything else I think I don't need. And of course before I delete them, I made a backup using Titanium. But then I realize my Private mode is not working whenever I tried to activate it. It said "Failed to enable Private Mode, try again", it is not working no matter how many times I tried. And then I realize maybe because of those apps I uninstalled earlier, to be precise I think it is "com.sec.knox(something)". When I try to restore it, Titanium said I don't have a backup of it, but it is on my backup history just without the backup file (see attachment). If I'm not mistaken it can be found in Play Store, called Samsung Security Policy Update, but since it is originally come with Samsung device it is not downloadable.
I'm still trying to figure out what the actual cause for this problem, and if anyone could help, I'd be so grateful if you can share Titanium file for those apps come with "com.sec.knox" (see attachment). Or if I have to restore Stock Firmware and go back, where can I find it and how to restore it?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards
You need to flash stock firmware in order to fix! Bcoz of the custom kernel, maybe you lost the private mode functionality.

Thanks, I got back to STOCK with the Indian latest Firmware and it works fine, the Private Mode is here again. I lost root access, but I still have all of my data (picture, apps, everything) even tho I flash back the Stock ROM. And no more Red Notification on Bootloader from SpaceX kernel. I only need to find a way to reset Knox Warranty Void value if I need (hopefully not) to bring my A8 for warranty claim. :fingers-crossed:

Oh.. No way to reset the counter? But I read somewhere it could be done with triangle away or something, could not it?

Triangle away may or maybe not work, actually its risky, if anything goes wrong, it will brick the device, it mostly works on Qualcomm Powered Samsung Device.
Hi guys
I have run into little problem that I'm hoping learned members here can help me with.
I have a Note 3 SM-9005 that was running Kitkat 4.4.2 and I got it updated to 5.0 from a mobile repair guy. Everything looked smooth until I got home and noticed that now the WiFi does not work anymore. It always stays greyed out and never turns on.
I have tried turning on download booster, smartswitch, nothing helps. I have wiped cache, wipe data / factory reset but that's of no help.
Can you please help me get my WiFi working again.
Many thanks.
Cheers
Boot into download to confirm that the model # is sm-n9005. Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem?

If you know how to reflash a firmware via Odin it's the way on it.

Should a reinstall be enough? Can you guide me which file should I flash in case the phone was flashed with a wrong firmware previously?
Wondering if following screenshots are of any help figuring out what's up with the firmware update mishap?

Try look at this at Sam mobile:

It's the usual update firmware of lollipop.

I can confirm the model is indeed SM9005 however I'm unsure about the other two things. Can you please point me to where I should be looking for that information?
Thanks

That's the UK version isn't it? Should I just grab that file and use Odin to flash right?
Would it be compatible with my phone which has a UAE version installed currently?
Ok just checked. It looks to be the Phillipines/Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand version. With some of them branded. Not sure which one I should be picking up?
The stock ROM may be slightly different for each country but you can try the latest Singapore version.

Will it trip Knox? As I would be putting a SIN firmware on a XSI (UAE) handset?
Flashing a stock rom will not trip Knox.
Personally, unless there is warranty left on the phone, I wouldn't worry about tripping the Knox counter.

Thanks for your reply.
I have also just noticed that the WiFi hotspot (tethering) doesn't work either.
I downloaded the latest XSI (UAE) firmware and installed it using Odin. But the problem still persists.
Should I try downloading and installing a Singapore firmware?
Is there a possibility that this phone is actually a carrier branded phone and was later debranded and that's why it's having this problem?
Please help life is difficult without Wifi
Does Bluetooth work? It's possible that the phone has a defective wifi chip. I have two galaxy s4 phones that have dead wifi chips but everything else works.
You can try flashinga another country's firmware but not sure if that will help.
Do you have a backup of the efs folder?

Yes the bluetooth works.
The phone's WiFi was working fine before being updated to Lollipop.
No I got it updated from a phone repair guy before I got my hands dirty and put the new firmware my self. So no efs folder backup, unfortunately.
Hmm without knowing what the repair person did to the phone or how the update was performed, it's possible something went wrong during the flash process. Does the phone show the correct imei and MAC address?

He did it in front of me and from memory I can tell that he took a firmware file and used a software (probably Odin) to flash it in download mode.
The phone does show the correct IMEI as written under the battery spot and in device info does show a WiFi mac addresd however I'm unsure how to verify if that may be the correct one.
I have browsed Google and found few other people's posts on different forums who have this exact same problem. Someone suggested that I should reflash the firmware with bootloader checked using Odin.
Do you think it may be of help?
I have just discovered that the serial number on the back of the phone under battery is different from what is reported by the device.
Does this give any hint to what may be the issue?
