[help]!!! Help the newbie here!!

Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom? Appreciate that you can help me so i can get back my phone!!

Thousand thanks bro. Last question, will the flashing of this stock rom reset all my setting including the message, contact number and etc and finally roll back to unroot?

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

My stock rom suppose is I9505XXUAMEA2 if not mistaken and i rooted it last time, while i was flashing some mod just find out my TW launcher force stop and i need to use easy home mode. i mess up with it. saw the post said latest firmwares release which my country will not get it soon and i decided to flash GERMANY I9505XXUBMEA firmwares. surprisingly i din face with any problem like wifi not working, 4g lte non working and etc. everything just fine. i guess is my luck not to gone through factory reset to make CSC work?

Strange issue after installing 4.3 MJ5

guys
i am having a strange issue with my galaxy s4 i9505.
its an astralian stock and bought it last month.
it has been working really fine but something just happened last night.
last night i flashed omega 13.1 mj5 and flashed mj5 modem as well but was having network issue. so i reverted back to phoenix 3.0.
then the alarm dint go off today morning and i started thinking why it dint go off or why i dint hear the alarm.
then when i tried to play music while going to office it hung and automatically restarted every time i tried to play music and music player was very very laggy and couldnt even click on any options properly.
then i tried to make a call and when i pressed call button screen sort of went black only status bar visible and phone stopped responding to touch at all but the call went through.
after touching the screen constantly the screen became responsive after 40-45 seconds. but whenever i tried to make a call or receive a call same thing happened again.
anything else music or making or receiving calls work fine.
i tried to play ringtone and it restarted the phone again.
i full wiped the phone again from CWM and reflashed the rom and still same issue.
i flashed another 4.3 rom and same issue again.
i went into test mode and everything went fine except speaker test.
speakers dint amke any sound.
the phone is under warranty and i will be giving it for service.
but just wanted to know if any one has any cluse what it might be?
it might be co-incidence but it happened just after i tried to flash omega 13.1.

any1 plz

Flash a different modem. That should probably fix it.

Same happened to me
Exactly this same thing has just happened to me! it started when i flashed 13.1 over 13.0 i installed 13.2 today and same problem!
Edit: Flashing a different ROM does not help! i have tried 5 different ROM's!

For the people that have the old bootloader they need MGA NON-HLOS.bin to have the sound back.and then for the people that have the new bootloader they need MJ5 NON-HLOS.bin

[Q] about omega rom v16

a while ago i flash v16 from v15 then after that i flash the modem suddenly my phone stucks at boot logo .

thanks guys
pls help me guys i dont know what to do i know how to flash rom but suddenly it messed up my phone and still stuck at boot logo

Every day I personally lose confidence in roms here
Not talking about a certain rom and creator - to emphasize this
Talk about creators who have in their hands a model - for example I9500
but make rum for I9505
Clearly easier replacing certain files etc. but how the ease with which it share with so many people after you have not personally tested your phone
Once again this is a personal opinion I respect the work of any developer but not so

I failed at flashing new rom for SM-900

I seriously f***** up for the first time while trying to flash a custom rom on my cousin's Note 3 SM-N900. I was able to install TWRP and i proceeded to flash a custom rom directly from within TWRP. I kind of got ahead of myself and proceeded to delete/wipe/erase just about everything on the phone before flashing (dalvik, wipe data, cache etc..) and then i proceeded to Install the custom rom directly within TWRP.
Yes i agree i was careless and ****ed up quite a bit but i was so sure it would not go wrong. But it did. Now the phone only loads the initial 'Samsung SM-N900' boot screen and then goes to black. I can still access TWRP and Download modes at will but i am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware that will work on the phone. I dont know if i ****ed up the bootloader, modem, kernel, etc, but i reckon i did some pretty good damage.
But the fact i can still access TWRP and Download modes gives me hope that i get right my wrongs with your guidance! Please guys help a poor soul out!

So what did you flash or is it a secret rom ?
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app

I first flashed a ROM called Dilshad ROM v8, then when it did not work, i flashed AURORA rom, then Cyanogenmode 13 for note 3 N900 and finally i tried flashing a random stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

Did you use the correct TWRP version ?
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yup i have. TWRP 3.0.2-0 installed correctly on the SM-N900. I can access it even when the screen goes black after the first boot screen by pressing the combination buttons (power + volume up + home)

I HAVE READ THE POST + REPLIES!! Though , he said he flashed a random samsung software.. But how should i know if he did it with the tar.md5 or flashed it as a regular zip... I'm just a guy tryin to help, so any extra addition may help so don't just regard that as useless
Since term flashing is mostly used with recovery mode, so did he put it on download mode and BL the offical bootloader and PA/PDA the software that supports the same bootloader?

am unable to flash a rom or a stock firmware
stock firmware i downloaded from sammobile page for N900.

An idea that is maybe a bit risky is to put back the normal (stock) recovery and try to restore update from sd card or something like that... I'm not sure how safe it is so use it as a least resort... I didn't even hear anything like that its just an idea, it may not work... But hope it helps

Hi
I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you

I understood I had to flash PIT file NO NO NO .
You don't flash a PIT file without good reason .
SM900 is EXYNOS not Qualcomm model .
So what phone model do you actually have as this threads question is N900 .

Ok sorry I have 9005.

Printed model is : SM-N9005

The real model # can be found by putting the phone into download mode.

Thanx

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
