If you have a backup, restore from from backup..
If you have a stock rom, reflash stock rom..data wipe and continue with your flashing ahead

Stock att kernal, updating camera firmware

I've been searching for the stock kernal for at&t users for s bit now, can't find it I'm trying to fix the annoying "updating camera firmware,please wait..." message. Unless there's a better way, I'll just assume you have to flash the sock kernal to update it. But if you flash the sock Kernal, wouldn't the phone fail on boot?

No, I'm running Wanamlite v1.0.
I just reinstalled the stock AT&T rom to allow the camera to update, but when I ran the camera, no update appeared. So I figured it was all set. After re-rooting, I re-installed Wanamlite and KT kernal, open up the camera, and sure enough the message re-appears. I didn't perform any wipes. But it looks like I'll have to because all the AT&T bloatware was re-installed again.

Your mistake was reinstalling Wanamlite again. Here's how you install non AT&T ROMs
1. Root your phone. I used the one click TWRP and Loki method.
2. Factory Reset and install custom ROM.
3. Install AT&T kernel. Let it boot up. Open Camera.
4. Reboot to recovery. Install custom kernel. Wipe cache and Dalvik. Fix Permissions.
5. Reboot. All done.

Thanks, you're right about my mistake lol I ended up just installing someone else's ROM and it works perfectly. I'm a bit lost reading your instructions, It was my understanding that custom ROM's would not load with stock kernel?

You need a carrier kernel for your custom ROM.

Exactly, its nice he can recommend installing a stock kernel, but they are not to be found. I asked in another thread and didn't get an answer. I somehow got it to work just wiping and installing Omega 5.0 Then to get wifi to work I installed ktoonez kernel.

okay, assuming you're using the AT&T variant, I did this:
I got the looping "installing camera firmware" and tried faux an ktoonsez with no luck
I flashed this tmobile stock kernel and the camera firmware updated successfully by going into the camera app.
I then just flashed faux kernel back and everything worked great.

I use shabbypenguin's auto loki CWM recovery, but you'll have to definitely flash the loki patch after the tmo kernel to make this work.

FYI, you may want to ask this on the 9505 forum. You're exponentially more likely to get an applicable answer there than you are from another device's forum.

have you tried flashing a different baseband?

yes i tried latest kitkat baseband but it didnt work
You can see the rom/kernel name in about settings but so far as i know you probably have to reflash an kernel/rom to fix the sensors or you need to locate the sensor files from the g2 rom you're using and make an flashable zip from it.
same problem,how can i fix it,please help me
Can you guys to do a clean flash and flash KK modem first and then the rom?
Have you tried backing up your current rom, restoring stock rom backup, and restoring the custom rom again? Works for me every time.

Help! I think something is wrong

Ok guys ..hi there. I am running PAC ROM 4.4.4..ok guys am having an issue ..i originally got this phone (i9500) with 4.4.2 kitkat touchwiz i rooted it and installed twrp 2.6.0.0 and all was well..Then i decided to install the ozcan rom 6.3 ...after flashing the rom...the first boot was stuck on Samsung logo ( and yes i advance wipe my phone several times using the mke2fs format) and this rom is for my model! So i was disappointed... Then i wiped again and tried to restore my backup which also led to a bootloop..soo i had no choice but to flash a next ROM... The rom that worked was 4.2.2 wanam lite (jellybean) ..i got tired of it and went to pac ROM now.i wanted to try the ozcan rom again.. It didn't work! I tried arrow rom..it didn't work ..and these worked for other i9500 users..so am wondering is my recovery outdated and not doing it correctly ? So the main question is WHY CANT I INSTALL A TOUCHWIZ KITKAT ROM??

You could try updating recovery. And maybe try to flash it via Odin (if that's possible)
Hi guys ..so it turns out that my recovery was outdated (twrp 2.6.0.0) its working great now..i love this ROM i don't think i'll be changing for a while. ..Until 6.4 gets out lollipop based ....So yea guys now i have 6.3 ozcan rom and the latest philz touch recovery ...i flashed it via twrp

[Q] Problem after flash kernel

Hi Guys,
As you can see, I am new to this site. My phone is S4 19505. Yesterday, I tried to root my phone and that was a succes. Problem began when I want to install kernel for longer battery life. I have installed kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 and I have chosen Touchwiz KitKat 4.4 version. After I flashed this kernel my s4 is not starting. It just stuck at first screen "where we get first white letters samsung galaxy s4".
I have no idea what to do now.
Can anyone please help me?
Advance thanks.

twrp. I dont know what you mean by stock rom because this is my first time I did. My device is running 4.4.2. and I chose for kernel 4.4 version of tw.
I think that you have to re-flash a new rom. Then, you have to retry installing root and the kernel.

I agree with msmlz, if you have nandroid restore it or download the firmware in sammobile and reflash it and before flashing the custom kernel again, read the thread, see if someone face bootloop like you. Hope someone with experience on it could help you, I never install custom kernel, just update the last stock kernel on my rooted stock rom.
