Hi guys , I am very new to this website. Hopefully I am posting in right forums . I have recently rooted my samsung galaxy s4 sgh i337 ucufni1 4.4.2 . I accidentally unintalled touchwiz app through titanium backup . Now when i restart phone it is struck at ATT logo and not moving forward. Phone is going to download mode during start(just for test purpose) . There is not custom recovery installed. Can you please advise how to recover this back or any other option to make it work .
Thanks in advance
reboot to stock recovery and factory reset from there. if not, flash stock firmware with odin
Thank you.I reset phone from stock recovery but home screen button still didn't work.Somehow I managed to get to Google now to launch play store and installed touchwiz..problem solved

hello all,
I have recently bought a used samsung s4 ( GT-i9505 ) which was rooted on android firmware 4.2.2 (***MGA) and worked perfectly. When i unrooted and upgraded it on 4.3 ( ***MKF) , the phone suddenly starts freezing and reboot even thought it is in a safe mode! either the sdcard was being unmounted or i wiped data the problem exists! the phone stops responding and reboot! ( No 3rdparty apps is installed )
The producedure which i followed to unroot it and upgraded was:
1.i used triangle away to reset counter
2.i used odin 3.09 to flash the new android which i downloaded from sammobile.com
3.after firmware installation, i made a wipe data/cache
In short, my phone status goes back to "official" and the cpuz utility root status goes back to "no rooted"
Do you have any ideas about the solution? did i make anything wrong in firmware installation?
my phone is going to be useless, it's rebooting every 10-15 minutes.
Please either anyone knows or have any ideas about my issue let me informed making me a comment...
thank you!
Same issue
Hi im having the same problem have you been able to fix this?
Dial *#1234# and attach the screenshot :highfive:
Did you factory reset it?if you didn't of course you will encounter problems,also check the rom you downloaded maybe it is not complete or flash a newer version
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.

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.

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.
Hello to everyone.
I have a note 3 , N 9005. I rooted it at some point then i reset it to factory settings because the banking app and other apps did not work anymore. Yesterday I did flash the new android 5, which I downloaded from xda forum.
Everything went smooth, I was hoping the device status - custom message will go away with the new official firmware installation.
It still shows the same.
I tried the unmount sd card, wipe cache and restart with no success. I have also erased all data on the sd card (32 GB samsung).
How can I have my device status set to ''official'' so I can receive updates automatically?
When will there be a root method for android 5 ?
Thanks so much for your time.
Hamza

You can set your system to official by using wanam xposed in the xposed installer. using wanam set systemb to official. Then request the update. Wait until it downloads then use odin to reinstall custom firmware. Then let the ota install. It will put you back to your original kk then it will download lollipop again. You cash also go back to fill in root by using odin to install factory firm ware. Keep an eye on it because after the firmware installs it will reset. As soon as it goes from boot to loading the rom pull the battery before any of your information gets in to the new firmware. P ut the battery back in hit vol up + menu + power in the stock recovery click factory reset let it load. Check out your factory set system then come back here and click thank you.
Hey dude,
I upgraded my Note3 to 5.0 and kept root. If you're still on KK you can install Xposed framework and install the Wanam module. You have a option in that module to "fake" the STATUS message to OFFICIAL. I can assure you that it works, but you can upgrade with MobileOdinPro and still have a rooted 5.0 Note3. The steps are easy, but with a search on google I'm sure you will be okay. If you still don't manage to find anything, you can PM me and I'm sure I can help.
Hi again to everyone. My device is not rooted now. I unrooted when I was still on kit kat because the mobile banking app did not work and other apps too.
I tried to root it using CF autoroot for android 5. It said fail .
That is the message I got from Odin. The phone is not bricked, it still works normally.
I have done alot of search on google, I have not found anything which seems ok, just a post on a blog, and people commented below that they bricked their devices with that method so I did not do it.
Thanks to everyone for their advices and for taking the time to reply to my post.
Any more ideas please? Thanks.

Hi . Yes I know. I should have rooted when I was on kit kat, then upgraded through mobile odin pro, and I would have kept root.
Thanks for your reply.
Hello.
Updates are:
I have downgraded to the latest kit kat. Rooted it. I flashed lollipop using mobile odin pro. It went ok but I had no root . I do not know why.
I rooted using chain fire auto root. I am rooted now finally. I managed to get rid of all the crapware. My wi fi acts up. I need to log in everytime i restart the phone.
the wifi turns on but it does not remember to log in automatically. Any fix for that?
Also I can't se the device status to "official" by using wanam exposed. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.
hi,
i'm from india .
i had installed lollipop 5.0.2 v30b via kdz flash method on my lg g2 d802 (indian version ) .
since then i had issues wirth my bluetooth and wifi.both were not working .I Tried flashing back to 4.4.2 stock and other custom roms.
everything worked except bluetooth and wifi.so i flashed back to lollipop v30b 5.0.2
further ,in my attempts to flash back to stock 4.2.2 , i came across A thread ON XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-stock-30d-flashable-zip-t3070383) and i flashed "D802_PATCH_RETURN_KK_droidth" via philz latest cwm recovery ,
but after that everything went mayhem ..
i got boot error message repeatedly and was unable to enter even recovery .
after several tries i somehow managed to enter recovery mode , but stil phone wont go past it.
I GUESS I ACCIDENTALLY FLASHED A KERNEL FOR MY OLD GALAXY NOTE(due to confusion between the saved files in the download folder ) , On my g2....but i'm not sure if its the cause of the present issue...
after i restatred the moB , it wont turn on .
battery was 85 % ..
i'm not a newbie to flashing roms and have done aTLEAST >50 times with my lg g2 and galaxy note 2 and previously sgs2 , but this is the first time i got into a hard brick mode.
when i took the phone to servie center, they told the mob is just out of warranty and so wont get any warrany related help.
they told that the EFS HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO READ ONLY mode somehow due to improper flahing and also added that the EFS IS BEING SHOWN AS 16 PARTITION S.
they tried to repair the boot sector and recovery using OCTOPLUS TOOL BOX , but failed and told me that the latest models like G2 is not supported as if now in their TOOL BOX.
THE ONE suggestion given by them was change of PCB which is almost same as a new mob.
I'M STUCK WITHOUT MY FAV MOB G2 .......PLS HELP ME OUT SOMEHOW AND HELP ME OUT...

Hello,
I have no idea what I am doing this is my first time working with roms and firmwares.
I was trying to root my phone using youtube tutorials but it backfired and my phone went into a bootloop. I used odin and a pit file and firm ware found on this link
thephonebulletin.com/unroot-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-complete-tutorial-13598
The phone started up but the Wifi option wouldn't turn on.
I want to restore the phone back to lollipop.
Any suggestions?
I would really appreciate it.
