Hi guys, Ive just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4
I had the s3 and loved it but thought id get the S4, (I'm on the Three network UK If this helps)
Anyway with the s3 i rooted it, Installed CF Root, and siyah kernel and worked a treat
So when i had my S4 today i thought id root it, So i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8 did everything and everything worked fine, then i thought oh ill put the siyah kernel on from here d-h.st/users/siyah/s3 and was completely in a daze didn't even read where it said s3 or anything (Yes i know im thick as two short blanks but i do apologize in advance) and when i flashed the siyah kernal it got stuck on the booting screen where it says Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and nothing is budging it, nothing at all.
Anyway so i looked at troubleshooting things and here's what i have tried
*Taking Battery out
* Recovery mode (Power, Home and Volume Up button) clicked factory reset wipe data etc
So im out of options and in desperate need of help as i dont know what else to do so im desperate, i know im a dope for installing something but as i said i was in a daze and just doing it automatically which i know is no excuse but i am sorry.
So can anyone help as i do hope so,
Thanks in advance
Sorry Guys Its the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 not the i9500, Its the i9505,
Apologies

it should, because you flashed wrong kernel,
if not, you have to flash the whole stock firmware
Nope the kernal didnt work, So gonna have to try the stock firmware,
that would should 100% work is it?

yes.
maybe you have a corrupted partition due to the wrong flash so you need a pit file with the firmware, see my signature for tutorial
Im reading it now you know where it says: Step 4) unzip the downlowded file (from second or third post), u will get a Home.tar file.
Where do i get that file from what second or third post?

first flash the firmware as pda in odin, if odin gives you "no pit file" when flashing, so you must put I9505 pit file in odin as pit with the firmware as pda and flash. (all explanations are mentioned in my thread :good
Ok downloading the stock fw now ok, ill keep ya updated
thank you thank you thank you, ur a legend it works!!!

Yes. Use Odin 3.09 or higher to do it. Make sure to power OFF the phone first then go to download mode with vol down, home, power buttons.

Yes it should be safe. do not check re-partition, put the firmware in the ap slot and wait for odin to validate the md5. if unsure, check the q&a thread for more information on installing firmware.

i had rooted the phone before, so i factory reset to remove the root, but when i try to check for updates it says the device has been modified and no updates available ? :/
hi, could you tell me if work??
I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html
I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?
HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

use 7zip to unzip the file.
I can't say thank you enough. I have been fighting with my phone ever since I tried to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4. I finally got it to boot by using ODIN to flash the pit file but could never get it to stop showing that the partition verification failed. This worked.

Here is the video with what's happening (sorry for the potato quality): /watch?v=3wnC-GIZHWs
Does anyone have an idea about this? I've tried reinstalling the firmware with Samsung Kies, no luck. Tried the same with Odin with a firmware from sammobile, still no luck. I don't have a warranty for it and I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

Did this, took a firmware from sammobile and flashed it with Odin and this thing still happens...
do exactly the same thing, but tick UPDATE BOOTLOADER, after (if) it boots, use SamMobile's app to determine if Modem and Bootloader are updating...

Im not sure, seems a lot like hardware issue.
Did your phone come branded, like Tmobile and Vodefons stuff?

Yea, it came locked in Vodafone, I unlocked it at a nearby GSM service. I'll take it there to see what the heck it's happening since I can't solve it myself. Thank you all for the support.
Try this...
Find the PIT file for branded phones (branded = carrier roms such as vodfona, etc)
Get SamFirm and download a branded 5.0.1 BOL3 rom, it'll download it in 4 tar.md5 files rather then one. Make sure it's a vodafone rom, it may be a csc issue.
Good luck...
