This is easy if you know the CSC. Only:
1. Install Kies (android 4.2.2/ android 4.3) or Kies 3 (android 4.4.2). Conect ur friend's phone to the pc.
2. Look for the CSC (Pic 1 attached).
3. You can go to Sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for the provider of your friend.
4. Flash it through ODIN and enjoy :highfive:

but it seems i got bigger fish to fry , i had asked someone here if my kernel # was stock and they said yes however now after i downloaded the carrier files and installed the phone is tuck on boot Samsung Galaxy S4 screen . there is a message in the top left corner that says

Well that someone is @AL_IRAQI
Did you try a data wipe after that? No? Try that first on stock recovery.
And kernel not seandroid enforcing is not an issue. Ignore that and data wipe.

I tried below but my phone is struck at intital logo Samsung galaxy S4 screen its not turning on.
Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY (I9505 ONLY, I9500 is NOT SUPPORTED YET)
NOTE: There is an option "System modified workaround", please tick this and restart your phone. Device Status should be back to OFFICIAL!! Use it with caution!!
Next few steps are ONLY for people who couldn't reset it with Triangle Away...
1. Reboot into Download Mode and check if Binary & System are OFFICIAL.
2. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
3. In some cases FACTORY DATA RESET (Phone Settings=>Accounts=>Backup & reset =>Factory Data Reset) is required to reset Device Status.
You probably just need to do a factory reset. If the Odin flash was successful, simply boot into recovery (volume up+home+power) delete user data. reboot.
not working
still struck on samething no progress after logo
need serious help
my phone is not working need urgent help
Why do you start messing with your phone when you have no idea what you are doing? Thats just dumb.
What are you doing with Triangle Away? Do you have any idea what it does?
Stop messing with your phone before you make it worse! Just chill and start reading the forums!
Tell us STEP BY STEP, what you did with your phone. Stop saying help my phone doesn't work. That's USELESS information! We need details.
Omega Pro had helped me
I tried to install Google android 4.3 (nexus) on my phone i was successful but i didnt like that as it disable all the samsung features(palm,autostay) i tried to remove that but i messed something here i tried reset in TWRP after that my phone didnt start it was struck on samsung logo.
I tried to install google 4.3 again and it worked i had installed Omega rom its working fine but i do see my phone is slow i am still thinking of going back to actual android 4.2.2 version if u can help that would be great.
Thanks all for ur help.

Download Samsung Kies,
Go to tools and click firmware upgrade and initialization
If you have 9505 type in Model: GT-I9505 If you have 9500 type in Model: GT-9500
Now it will ask your S/N Number. If you cannot boot to android then pull out the battery and there must be S/N Number (NOT Battery S/N)
If you can boot to android, then go to Settings, touch more then scroll down find and touch about device, then touch status, scroll down and see the serial number
type it in Kies
Then follow instruction from kies
you must boot to download mode first (you can do this with: turn off the device then press Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button and then if you release it and press volume up to continue it)

Kies won't work because you have a custom rom installed.
Why dont you just flash a custom rom in the recovery?
1. Do a factory reset in recovery. Wipe system/data/cache.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
It's as simple as that.
Or do you want to flash a stock rom? If so, make sure you flash a knox disabled stock rom.

I'm sure you can get it running with odin. Download Odin ver 3.07. Download the stock mh6 firmware from sammobile.com. it's a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in odin, PDA slot. Only have auto-reboot checked in Odin.

Set warranty bit message

Hello guys, I've read about knox and now I get how it works and all, warranty isn't an issue for me (long story) so now I have the new bootloader flagged 0x1, now my question is whenever I boot into recovery or into OS I'm greeted with "set warranty bit : recovery/kernel" and "recover/kernel is not seandroid enforcing", I also kind of understand that this is related to knox bootloader but is it something I should worry about? Will flashing different roms/kernels now that I'm on the new bootloader mess up anything other than the already flagged 0x1? Thanks.

All Right I have the solution for you! I was lucky enough to find someone that knew how to fix this (Damageless) so here is what you need to do.
-Take out the battery and disconnect from computer
-Put battery back in and hold down Vol(down) and home key, then hold power button until it vibrates. Release only the power button after it vibrates.
-You should now be in the download mode, click Vol(up) to continue.
-Download Odin here: odindownload .com
-Download stock ROM here: (dont open click save) sammobile .com and (yes you have to create an account I'm sorry) search for your model number, ex. SM-N900t for tmobile note 3
-install Odin
-check the PDA box not phone and click PDA
-find the stock ROM in your downloads and select that one.
-hit Start and you should be back to normal
It will erase everything you had on your phone which sucks I know but at least your phone works! Good luck! Hope this helps!

THANK YOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU I found this post and it restored my phone back to stock!!!!
the only thing I can add to this is use the original cable that came with the phone I was using an aftermarket one and was getting error after error .

[Q] No sound or wifi after installing custom ROMs and returning to stock.

Hi and thanks for looking at this post,
I have searched the forums and haven't found a thing that works for my phone. I rooted and backed up my current version this morning (4.2.2 stock) using CWM. I then proceded to install Wanamlite 1.5 for the S4 GT-I19505, which installed but had serious issues with sound, everything would crash when the volume controls were pressed or headphones inserted. I therefore switched ROM to Android revolution HD 1.0. I installed what I thought was the relevant wifi fix, but no joy.
At this point, I restored to stock 4.2.2 hoping it would solve the issue, but it hasn't, my cwm backup also has the issue after attempting to restore.
Anyone got any suggestions of how I can fix this? I thought the stock restore would have done this, but obviously not.
I am running android 4.2.2 on a stock rom (XXUAMDD_I9505EVRAMDA_EVR).
GT - I9505
If you need to know anything else, let me know. Thanks.
- Go to CWM
- Make a full wipe (data, system and cache)
- Restore ur old stock backup
- I think this will solve ur problems :highfive:

Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately it hasn't worked
I'm assuming it's a kernel issue, but surely that would have been replaced after installing back to stock? Is there anywhere we can download the individual required kernels maybe?

Thanks for the help, was a different file from the one I tried earlier, but still no joy with this one either.
There doesn't appear to be a wifi-fix from the list of those files for my version. I'm going to try it, combined with a complete stock reinstall now, to see if there is any change.

I really dont understand why are you trying to revert into your back up? when you can just flash a 4.3 stock rom in order to fix all this problem? then root it after ? just so you know that your warranty is already void sir. so go ahead and make a back up and flash a 4.3 stock rom from samsung website. thank you.

Thanks, I'll do that. I was trying to steer clear of 4.3, because of issues I had keeping root access on it, but if that's what will solve these problems then that's fine for me. As for the warranty, I don't mind too much Thanks for all the help again.

Everyone is having this same damn problem, I've had it for about a month, flashed all sorts of roms, wifi fixes, different modems etc
and its not working, I matched my ap cp csc so they are all the same:
Last night it was reading:
AP: I9505XXUFNB8
CP: I9505XXUFNB8
CSC:I9505XXUFNB8
= NO SOUND
Its all the same now except
CP: I9505XXUFNA5
Please help, or even better - if someone has the knowledge to let me know what is actually wrong here and I can then research and fix it myself.
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnks..
same problem here!!! Absolutely no sound on my Galaxy S4.. But I noticed that I have sound only if there is not flashed modem after installing clean rom (Phoenix).. So there must be problem with modem.. But any modem that I tried to flash doesn't trigger the sound, the latest, the oldest... really dont know.... :///////

[Q] messed up good this time

hi all. need help
i've been playing with different roms for couple of years now on different phones and did not have any problems.
till now that is ....
i have installed Omega 21.1, but from time to time phone would lose gsm data connection so i decided to flash something else.
installed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition and it was good.
for some, God knows what reason, wanted to try Omega19 (4.3). installed fine but sound was broken. when ever phone used any kind of sound it would start flashing or would freeze or something. Flasing any other rom did not help. and for some reason it does not let me change modem with odin.
Last modem i have installed is XXUEMJ5.
tried to do restore using [GUIDE] Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505 but Odin would fail with Auth error
tried with Odin 3.47, and 3.07
now i still can install rom but stops in logo loop. tried both Omega and google edition.
pls help

Hi,
Once you have installed a TW 4.4.2 ROM , it installs the latest knox bootloader.
At that point , you cannot downgrade your firmware.
You said you installed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition and it was good.
Your best bet is to re-install that.
As for the modem , there is a technique which you have to try:
Look HERE
That should help.
BTW , I edited your title
thx. will try that and report back.
nope, still stuck @ logo loop

Try to reFlash those Files with Odin then Boot into TWRP mode and Do a full wipe and Install Omega (Inside Omega file there's Fullwipe , Click that and Setup the apps you need) then reboot .Make sure that You have a TWRP recovery^

Hi,
You said you tried the [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition ,and it worked .
So I figured to try and re-install that one.
The other thing you must do between flashing different ROMS is a full wipe (Cache and data)
yes. that was first thing i tested. at best i get the logo loop.
and yes, i do full data wipe before and after reinstallation of the new rom.
cache wipe only whe requested but in this case done that to.
is there a way to see a boot log or something to see where and why booting stops?

The best thing you can do is flash the entire 4.4.2 stock rom via odin.And start from scratch(Recovery/Custom rom) Since you already flashed the newestbootloader (from OMEGA file) .This mean your knox is now triggered and your warranty is now void 0x01.

Hi,
Perhaps you should try to find the latest test stock 4.4.2 firmware ( I9505XXUFNA1) and flash it in odin.
Wipe data and cache before and after flashing.
And then wait for the official update.
At least you should have a phone you can use.
following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
i've found that there is 4.3 stock image I9505XXUEMKF. downloaded it and tried to install but that did not work.
now this is a noob question but is there a speciffic bootloader, modem or something else i need to flash before flashing this image?
or should i search for 4.4.2 version?
thx
flashing stock 4.3 on current bootloader/modem combination gives me Fail from Odin and Sw. Rev. Check Fail error on the phone.

I believe malybru already answer that for you .Thread and Stop experimenting with your Phone because there's a chance that you might bricked your Device or end up with no IMEI.. and Your asking for help/Solution mate so follow their instruction . If not feel free to send your Phone to customer Service for repair.( and Be aware that your warranty is already voided unless your Country is part of EU so Rooting and Flashing don't void your warranty)

So what you mean that if you leave in a country that is part of EU, It doesn't matter if KNOX is triggered? (I life in Holland btw)

Click the link on EU mate . And start reading even my provider said that if the knox is already triggered, My phone still have warranty for 2 years as long its a hardware/system problem. But if i break the glass on my phone and such then i dont have any warranty for that..and must pay them for a repair.

ah, my bad. for some reason i was reading 4.4.2 as 4.2.2
i did follow all other instructions, and i thank you all for them, but still not sure where to go from here.
i know i should stick to 4.4.2 firmware but need to check somehow if bootloader/modem combination that i've install is actually installed.

If you already flash the Bootloader from Omega then you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 stock , that's why your Getting Fail (Auth) in Odin Flash the 4.4.2 stock Leak rom for now then if you consider flashing a Custom Rom then ,flash the philz recovery 6.09.2 or TWRP (Dont forget to Nandroid backup EFS and such and then DO A CLEAN WIPE by Wiping cache, dalvik cache data and system) and From recovery flash any Custom rom you like. (no need to root your phone, Your phone will be rooted after flashing any custom rom . So goodluck

The kernel not seandroid enforcing is just a minor thing. Ignore that.
For if you cannot boot in your phone, i suggest flashing ANY AREA's latest 4.4.2 for your phone.
The country/region does not matter till you dont have a carrier branded firmware.

originally i used odin mobile to flash the latest firmware. at this point the device won't go past SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 logo so i can't use odin mobile.
Since i have a mac and don't have access to a pc to use odin for pc is there a way to flash the s4 with my mac ?

Flashing via mobile odin will softbrick or brick your device.
Why did you even try that before reading? Uneducated experimenting is not supported here.
Now you must have a pc for odin to work. Or else if you can create a virtual machine, do that in your mac and proceed

I'm going to install windows on my mac, what version of windows is idea for odin.
Could i just put the firmware on the sd card an click the update from sd card option ?
Or you just use heimdall to flash using your mac. It's not that hard.
