Network Problem :c

Hi! I read every forum/post I could, but I don't know what else to do... I'm not and advance user, but I'm used to flashing ROMs, Stock ROMs, trying recoverys etc. always had an Android phone and I always unlock the bootloader, flash new rom and blah blah... so, here's my problem T^T
A week ago I buy a Samsung S4 GT i9500... not 'casuse I'm a fan of Samsung, but 'cause the price was great (at least in my Country)... The glas was cracked, but the touch was ok, the only thing broken was the front camera, but hey... I'll never used it
So the phone was able to connect to all the 3 carriers in my country (Argentina) Personal - Movistar - Claro. So I started with a Custom Recovery... everything OK
I always used the CyanogenMOD roms, so I downloaded the last one for my phone... but was kinda buggy... so I started to look for another options, I downloaded MIUI (official) but was too chinese for my taste, I mean, no Play Store, half of the phone options was in chinese, so... I moved on... the last one was Thunder Universe V6... was ok, nice skins, fast... stable... but the battery was the problem, almost 1% per minute, with power save activated so... I decided to go back to Stock ROM or Firmware... but I couldn't find one for my country or the links were dead...
So I finally found this one (I don't know if I can post a link to another forum so I will post the specs only):
Model: GT-I9500
Model name: GALAXY S4
Country: Argentina
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 2735569
Build date: Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:17:09 +0000
Product Code: ANC
PDA: I9500UBUGNI1
CSC: I9500ANCGNI1
MODEM: I9500UBUGNI1
Flashed with Odin, no errors, everything went ok... but after all the update, all my apps I realize that I have signal bars, but no carrier connection... only "Emergency Calls Only"
I started to read, and try a couple of things, but no luck... if I change the modem/radio/baseband I got the "unknown baseband" "uknown IMEI" thing... I flashed the phone to the previous roms, Cyano and Thunder but the problem remains...
I don't know what else to do :s and send my phone to someone for fixing it is very expensive, more than half the price of a new phone :s so if there is something I could try to fix it myself, will be amazing...
If u need more data, or whatever just ask, and i will do it, and post the result...
thanks in advance and sorry for my crappy eng >.<

Hi mate ,
Try flashing a stock rom and see if it helps.....but to me it looks like the EFS folder is broken , do you have an EFS folder back up? if not you may have to take the phone to a local service center ( samsung or not) and have the imei fix, you need a box like Z3X or similar to do it.

Hi! thanks for replaying! I can't find a stock rom for my country or the links are dead :s the one I downloaded (I put the specs on my previous post) seems to be an unbranded stock rom... but I don't really know, I don't have an EFS folder back up >.< I know... my bad here :s I read about the z3x box or the octopus one, but I was hoping for another problem more easy to fix :s there is a way to be sure that is the EFS folder? like 100%? there is nothing more I can do or try? :c
Thanx again!

Hi ,
the stock rom you flashed should been fine ( check here for stock rom for your country http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/PSN/ ) , if that did not help can it only be two things hardware ( like the sim caddy) or the EFS folder....there is no way to know without one of those boxes....
The repair should run around 25 usd........

Problems after last official update (signal and soft keys)

A friend has an S4 (i9505) from Vodafone Spain (ATL), unlocked and using another operator microSIM (Jazztel). Last week, via OTA, she received the latest update available: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/59777/I9505XXUHOJ4_I9505VFRHOF3_ATL/
After installing that OTA update, the signal level is very low, even none inside buildings, etc. This was not happening before.
In addition, the 2 soft keys (on both sides of the Home button) are not responding anymore, not even lighting up.
The Home button works, so... I think that it's not a hardware problem. Too much coincidence that the update and that hypothetical hardware problem happened at the same time...
First I did was a total hard reset, to factory settings, etc. No success, both problems (signal and soft keys) were still there.
Second, I flashed ROM manually via Odin. I flashed latest PHE one, so no Vodafone bloatware anymore: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/59311/I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505YXXHOJ1_PHE/
No success, still the same. I then did again a hard reset to factory setting, with Wipes first... and nothing.
Next thing I will do (when i have the phone in my hands again) is flashing with Odin the previous PHE one, and crossing fingers: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48153/I9505XXUHOE3_I9505PHEHOE1_PHE/
Anyone with the same problem? Any solution/suggestion?

Flashed next-to-last Stock ROM for PHE http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/48153/I9505XXUHOE3_I9505PHEHOE1_PHE/ and no success
Then I flashed Base HOH2 (4files+PIT) with Odin and... nothing either.
No idea what to try next. Suggestions?

Same here, after OTA no menu/back buttons (neither backlight or functionality)
Current status:
- seems to affect quite a lot of people, there are more threads like this on various sites
*e.g. here, here, here
- happenning after both OTA or ODIN based update to latest 5.0.1 ROM (for me it was i9505XXUHOJ2)
My findings so far:
- NO rom change seems to fix this
- it seems that touch keys' FW is updated (physically on the chip) along with the update (to version 0x12)
- Touch key FW update in menu *#2663# not applicable as it says that it won't update - versions are the same (you can check the version of driver used by ROM and the actual FW in chip on this page)
NOTE. my girlfriend has the buttons working after successful update and has both in version 0x12
Conclusion:
- It seems that the FW flashing process of the touch keys controllers somehow failed => phone says that it's also ver. 0x12 (same as android driver) but it is probably corrupted
- Re-flashing of the chip could solve the problems, however there are problems with this:
NOTES.
Menu *#2663# won't let us do the flash because of the version check - Can we use ADB to force the update on a rooted phone? Does anybody know how?
There is a slight chance, that it'll be fixed if Samsung will release some newer update which updates also the keys' FW
Samsung could release a fix, that will flash this manually as a lot of people have problem with this
!EDIT:
I've found very similar problem + solution on the Vietnamese forum bellow (don't use the files as it's for different phone!):
- to sum it up - force downgrading the FW, the update again... (any ROM cook that could help?)
see here
regards,
J.

I completely agree with you. I also tried the *#2663# path, the phone also has 0x12 touch keys FW, and it doesn't let me reflash it, either. Don't know what FW was there before the OTA update.
I have been told about the first German 5.0.1 stock ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44821/I9505XXUHOB7_I9505OXAHOB7_DBT/ and also about the last 4.4.2 one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/40046/I9505XXUGNK4_I9505OXAGNK4_DBT/
Maybe one of those... makes something again on the Touch Keys FW?
I couldn't try anymore bcs I gave the phone back to my friend (with accesibility touch keys on-screen)

HI, have you found a solution? My Italian S4 suffered the same bug after the same upgrade. I tried to contact samsung and they said I need to replace the screen because upgrading the firmware put the electronic under stress and they got broken. I don't believe them because too many people have the same problem + my screen is two days old! Please help me!

Same problem for my S4! how we can flash/reflash/downgrade soft touch fw?

Has anyone tried the first first German 5.0.1 stock ROM: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...05OXAHOB7_DBT/ or the last 4.4.2 one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/d...05OXAGNK4_DBT/ ?
A friend of mine (another one) told me that he fixed it with German HOA7 one, and then updated again to latest with no problem: https://mega.nz/#!VwcgXSQC!uGAhPxEuRrl-luS3sw8JmoPnjP4ybxrlsY4XcfFaWKE
I can't try it myself bcs I gave back the S4 to the owner. If anyone tries, please leave here the results!

I've tried a lot of ROMs - 4.4.2, also older 5.0.1 with no result...
I haven't tried UHOA7 I've tried UHOB7 instead, so I'll probably give it the shot, but I can't imagine how it could fix this issue (maybe if it for some reason has the touch-cypress FW update forced...)
- I've seen that on some German forums reverting back helped, but it wasn't my case (+it didn't fix the problem for many others...)
As I've wrote before, they've created modified kernel (with forced touch key FW reflash - bypassed version check) for a little bit different phone on the Vietnamese forum (see the link in my previous post) and it seems that it would be quite easy for somebody who has some knowledge with kernel compilation... (it would just need small modification in the "if" condition of 1 kernel source file) I've tried to do some research, but it takes some time to understand the process of building the kernel and to figure out how to properly pack it again... Also the sources are a little bit different for i9505.

No idea, another friend of mine (different than the one who gave me her "broken" i9505 for fixing), who had the same problem with his own i9505 told me that with the I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 he fixed it. And sent me the Mega link, as it's not on SamMobile (or I didn't find it): https://mega.nz/#!VwcgXSQC!uGAhPxEuRrl-luS3sw8JmoPnjP4ybxrlsY4XcfFaWKE
I couldn't try it by myself, because I gave back the "broken" i9505 I was trying to fix to her owner before I was told about HOA7.
U know a lot more about this than me. Maybe you can give a try to that HOA7 Mega link, and see if it really works, or if my friend was extremely extremely lucky, and still doesn't know it (and ofc, doesn't know what the hell fixed his phone, and how).
Anyway, if u decide to give a try to the I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 one, don't forget to come back to tell us if it worked or... nothing. I keep fingers crossed!!!
Oh, and ofc: THANK YOU!!!

I got the problem but only the back button was not working. Did factory reset and it did not help.
Then i flashed I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 from your link with Odin 3.10 and YES!!! i can confirm it is working again So happy now.
It is my Moms Phone now and she loves it!!. I was unly helping her doing the OTA so she realy hated me and SAM for F****** up her phone.
This tread realy saved my ass

Can confirm this is happening to me as well. All firmwares starting from HOF2 seem to have this problem so if you encounter this, downgrading to a HOE/HOD firmware should correct this bug. The downside is that without a proper fix, you won't be able to update.

@kosmodisk, did u read that? have u tried I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 by urself? Ur conclusions?
@BUBA0071:
- Did u look before (and after) flashing HOA7 which FW had (and have now) the touch keys? Remember: *#2663#
- After flashing HOA7, did u update again to latest one? Did the update work well this time, and now u have latest version with touch leys working?

HOE3 works for me. Problems start from HOF onwards.
I have also tried flashing HOA7 DBT and upgrading. Problem persists. My touchkey firmware is 0x1a and won't update no matter what Firmware package I tried. Up to now i have tried: GNG2, GNI2, GNK4, HOA7, HOB7, HOD7.
I'm pretty sure a rom (custom or early kitkat/lollipop leaks) caused this, altough I never flashed the initial chinese leak.

The phone that that girl gave to me, for fixing... was completely in official status. Always official ROMs, and official OTA updates, from first minute. And the problem was caused by latest official OTA update available: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/59777/I9505XXUHOJ4_I9505VFRHOF3_ATL/
So the problem was not caused by any custom ROM or a not official one.

Hardware key firmware 0X12 parth 0X1a (when it was not working, dont know if it have changed after german firmware flash). I have not updated again, think my CSC is blocking. It stayed on NEE after update to German firmware.
It was NEE I9505XXUPOJ2 firmware that F***** up my Phone

unfortunately I've tried I9505XXUHOA7_OXAHOA7 with no luck (even with repartition when flashing) - the buttons still don't respond
BUBA0071, I'd like to ask which custom ROM have you tried? It seems that your keys have FW of version 0x1a which should be newer than 0x12, so this could lead to some sollution. Was it some cyanogen mod or MIUI?
thx

Wups it have been some time since it was custum, but in any cace it must have been some of the first lollipop roms. I gave to my mom 13 feb 2015 and i did a lot of flashing before that, i think one of the roms i tryed was Project Chaos. but also i tryed all the google editition roms for i9505 and cyanogen.
but when it whent back to stock it i used PDA I9505XXUHOD7 CSC I9505NEEHOD2 NEE firmware

I've got a question. When you flash the HOA7 file from the Mega link, do you use only the AP file, or you use AP,BL,CP, CSC and PIT files?
I'm gonna try to fix my S4 but i'm not sure about the right process I should follow.
Thank you!

Samsung A3 2016 A310F Touchscreen issues after updating

My 3A was running perfect when update A310FXXU2APDC came out. After updating I have sometimes problem with touchscreen. Sometimes i must press something twice or more to get it to work. No matter keyboard or icon or else. Do anyone encountered this problem before? Before touchscreen was super responsive. Will hard reset help?

Same problem here, screen unsensitive and looks "crazy" often after unlock, looks related to the same software update. Hard reset didn't help for me. Any news for you?

Nope. Hard reset didn't help. No option to downgrade through Odin. I think that we must wait for next firmware update. Probably few months. I will write message to Samsung about this problem. Please do the same so they will know that there's an issue with firmware.

Hey guys, I have an A9 and had the same problem. I could barely navigate through the phone as touchscreen was non- responsive. I resolved the issue by upgrading to newer software release. I now have no problem.
You can downgrade to older version that was working via Odin. Get the required file from sammobile. If you are running 5.1 just make sure that OEM Unlock is allowed {developer option in settings}.

A new software update is out, it is called "A310FXXU2APE1".
I can't flash it until this week-end but I hope it is the good one !

Thats work properly on my galaxy a3 2016...
Try *#2663#...and all my touch problem has fixed...

I had this problem for a few days, unresponsive touch, i couldnt write a single word without errors... and also my phone wouldnt recognize codes like *#2663* etc.,
I upgraded to a higher number firmware from sammobile/androidfilehost A3 2016 from A310FXXU3 to A310FXXU4( i found firmware for my country and flashed it with Odin 3.10.) and it fixed the touch and i could also enter codes and manage those subprograms with ease.

i9500 touch key firmware missing in *#2663# MENUafter update

My galaxy s4 i9500 had kitkat installed and it was updated to lollipop last year. Thereafter in september while installing ota update phone restarted and suddenly back and menu key were gone blank.
Trued every possible trouble shoot available on xda and other sites to no avail.
1. Installed Stock kitkat again.
2. Installed other lollipop firmwares.
3. Installed cyanogenmod 12.1
4. Wiped phone many times using twrp.
5. Change of strip cable also did not work.
6. *#2663# menu shows blank in place of touch key firmware version/update.
Please if somebody could only figure out what has actually turned the phone like this..even if this is not solvable..at least i should know what went wrong..
Thanks.

There is a similar problem with the GT-I9505 models too.
It's probably related to a faulty update or something.
I don't know if there is anything you can do without professional help.
What you have to do is: you have to force the touch key firmware to update somehow.

There was a thread around here that might have some things you could try. I can't find it, but you can do a forum search.
It was for the GT-I9505, but some of it can probably be applied to yours.
Otherwise you might need the help of a professional since they have the necessary tools.

I have gone through that thread it is about incompatible Touch Key and Part Key Firmware Version. I have already tried those fixes but no success. Even in that thread issue is not solved yet.
In my case that dialog box for touch key and parts key firmware update doesnot appear in *#2663#. :crying:

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD) HELP PLEASE...

Hi all !
I'm here cause i really need your help and to be honest everything i've found on web so far, is telling totally the opposite things so i'm lost.
Let me explain a ltl, i purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD).
Actually i'm from France ( and i was travelling to Serbia for work, and broke my Note 4 )... The problem is i can't do any update from the phone "Registration Failed" when i click on it.
So after few hours on google, looks like the updates simply doesn't work cause i'm moving France - Serbia ... and the phone seems to be imported from Vietnam.
...
first of all, do you think this update problem is realy linked to this ?
second, i was searching on SAMMOBILE for SM-G935FD to try to put a French Firmware with odin (i don't even know if i can do such a thing without ****ing it up ?)... and on this model all i could find are countries from ASIA.
when i type *#1234# in call i get this :
AP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CSC : G935FOXE1BPH1 (i'm not sure if its a O or a 0 ... the letter or the number :-/)
Model : SM-G935FD
in the Software Infos (in settings) i got this :
Android Version : 6.0.1
BaseBand Version : G935FXXU1BPJG
Kernel Version : 3.18.14-9519568
Version Number : MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPJG
...
please guys i spent a lot of money (in hurry) for this phone, and i'm scared that i got ****ed by the vendor...
if anyone here knows something and can help me... would mean a lot...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help guys.

please guys... if someone got any answer... would mean a lot...
as well if u need any information that can help you answer me feel free to ask...
thanks again.

No need to worry INAX93,
Firmware for 935F will work on 935-FD
Please go to the link below (external link)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/115870/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FOXA1BPL2_XEF/
You can download this firmware and flash it using Odin_3.12.3 in the download mode by pressing volume down+home+power key when ur phone is switched off and selecting the correct files (the firmware package contains 4 files, hence you need to select the correct slot) and you should be good to go with latest firmware for France...
Hope this helps...

Thank you a million times! And yes it bhelps a lot!
I feel a lot better just with the hope your reply gave me!
So you are sure that i can go with this french firmware and will not get any trouble right? (cause the thing is that i'm not able to even find on Sammobile the firmware i currently have, and looks like its impossible to save from the device without rooting...)
I see a lot of people getring troubles with some functions not working...
And the last thing do you think the "registration failed" that i get when i click on manual update in the phone settings is linked to my location? (not being in Vietnam?)
Thanks a lot again!

Joyeux Noel a toi et aux tiens !
Merry Christmas to all of you guys! And thanks again for your help and kindness!

I use the ZTO 935F firmware on my 935FD with no problems, works without problems.

Dont worry INAX93 this is a confirmed official download of the French firmware. Dont worry it wont trip knox if done correctly and also your phone will be restored to french firmware without any trouble. I have done similar attempts of flashing official G935F firmware on my G935-FD without any problems am able to update and knox warranty also intact. So go ahead and wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year....

Hi guys !
I just wanted to thank you all one more time ! with your help i did it ! now my phone (SM-G935FD) is with his French XEF firmware !
So thanks a lot to all of you for your help !
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you !

Hi dear experts !
Hope all of you guys are going well, that the new year brought only positive things to you and your family !
I'm back in this thread cause I need your help one more time... everything was well until approx 6 months ago maybe a ltl more... maybe when the 7.0 version went out...
Actually that's when I faced the problem cause i bought a Gear S3 Frontier... I started having troubles with notifications mostly, they were delayed (sometimes for 3-4 hours !)...
While doing a lot of tests in all ways... i found that when i uninstalled all the updates linked to the "Google" app, or disabling it... it solved the problem... Then 6-7 months later i got pissed of cause i wanted to use some of the Google Now features... So i started searching again... after all kind of tests, i finally found that the problem also get solved when my Bluetooth is OFF... When it's set to off i can have the last update for the Google app and everything works fine...
So as i discovered that, i started thinking... maybe the only problem i have actually is a problem with my Bluetooth... as it started 6-7 months ago, 7.0 Version, Gear S3... the point is I started using the Bluetooth before (for my car) and it was always on... but maybe all mixed together... the Google app updates, the 7.0 Version and the Gear S3 king od bluetooth use... is not mixing well... or i don't know...
then i remembered that i flashed my S7 Edge (g935FD) from Vietnam with a firmware from France (g935F)... and maybe i did something incorrect while flashing that led to some Bluetooth troubles that i just discovered... (i had some problems with bluetooth before, like reconnecting randomly to a bluetooth device even if i disconnected it or things like that... )...
So i started searching and find out that there is actually few different way of flashing it, using odin... and i was unable to find a clear explanation of the differencies to be able to understand what i need to do to flash my phone again and in the best conditions.
There is people saying that a bad way of flashing can lead to bluetooth issues (and other things even worse but ok...), so if someone here can explain me, how can i manage to do it the best way... it would mean a lot...
differences between CSC and Home_CSC for example ? then some people are saying "check the re-partition" others say that you must avoid that... how do I know what is the best to do ?
then a lot of them are talking about CSC codes ?
I hope someone will have answers, i want to try to flash it again to try to solve this problem, without bricking it, and also without triggering the knox thing...
thanks in advance for help again...

Ps : the problem i was talking about is :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-notification-delay-problems-t3635161
or even :
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...and-Answers/Delayed-notifications/td-p/114947

no one ? please guys...

still no one to help ?
guys i need just to know if it may solve my problem to flash my phone...
i need to know if i need to check the "re-partition" thing in Odin... somewhere they say "you must check it if you are changing the CSC" and other say "You must avoid checking this unless you have a Pit file" ...
So what is the correct thing to do ?
