Try mobile Odin. Its in the play store.

Galaxyman! What's up! Sorry you're having this problem i would try mobile Odin. If that doesn't work I would try and find a replacement for the charging port.

Oh yea forgot about mobile odin lol now just need to get the tar file from sam mobile but quick does the free version do roms or its just the kernel it can do? Hey Daniel long time buddy the reason ive been gone is cuz had a almost life taking attcident on new years day last year amd been recovery from it so ive been out of the loop for a long time

[Q] Noob here, Help Needed (what's new)

Hello,
First off I am very new to this. I always try to be as careful as possible and do as much research as I can. I follow all the steps as directed and ask questions ahead of time before screwing things up.
My problem now is I accepted an OTA update to 4.3 from what I thought was a stock 4.2.2. Apparently I was wrong and the superUSER app was still installed on my phone. I no longer have the ability to use my WiFi- (I switch the toggle and it just stays off) I have tried to reset and restore. I have tried to delete all data and re-install. I have tried everything I'm comfortable with at this point. I dont know if I should try using ODIN to flash stock since I probably have a knox bootlocker and dont want to do more damage. I am posting photos because I noticed my naseband and my build number don't match up. I am afraid im stuck in between 4.2.2 and 4.3. I would greatly appreciate any advice or even a push in the right direction. I have been searching trying to find a solution for over a month and the most I can get is... "your an idiot, dont update OTA while rooted, etc etc" Hindsight is 20/20. Thank you again for your time.

I am not an expert but from what Im seeing your on a 4.3 rom but the modem did not update. Your modem is still mf9. I would flash a 4.2 rom and go from there. I don't want to give the wrong info hopefully someone can chime in that knows more than me.

Yeah that is what I was noticing as well. I have soft bricked my phone twice now trying to use odin and going back to a stock 4.2. The flash says fail everytime. I am wondering if KNOX is blocking ODIN from flashing the new ROM. Thanks for your quick response and I guess this means I am on the right path. Now I just need to find a way to flash a stock 4.2 on my fluster clucked half 4.2 half 4.3 phone.
I do know that once you're on MJA there's no going backwards. Try odining the modem. Make sure you turn your phone off...then boot to DL mode. Don't just boot to DL mode seems to work better that way.

I would suggest first trying to reinstall your mf9 modem via odin , if that doesn't work I'd try to install the mja modem via odin. You can find the links to files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42954149&postcount=2
And a thread about a similar issue so you can get a better idea of what you need to do.

No Sound after Knox? 4.3 / 4.4.2

Hello all,
So this is my first time needing serious help.
Almost 24 hours ago I wanted to flash a new ROM on my i9505 just because it was time for an update.
I downloaded the 4.2.2 leak in order to install the Echoe ROM according to THIS and THIS instructions. It all went fine but with no sound and wifi.
I tried flashing different kernels and modems but nothing helped, wifi was working sometimes when I installed other 4.4.2 custom roms.
Basically I'm not new to flashing custom roms but this time I have a feeling something bad happened.
I think since I installed the 4.2.2 leak I got no sound.
Currently I'm on the Echoe 4.3 "Final Bean", my Modem is I9505XXUFNA1 - and still no sound.
I'm totally lost now right now because I spent hours of looking for a fix or working ROM but with no success.
Hope someone can help me q_q

Flashing that file can either Fix your Sound/wifi and etc if you have newbootloader,and Flashing a Wrong LTE aka Wifi fix/NON-HLOS will break your sound if you have an oldbootloader.
Old bootloader = you can't flash any newer LTE modem than UBMH1.
New bootloader = you can flash all the new LTE modems

Thanks for your quick response. The reason im asking is because im rooting my S4 tonight (not my first time rooting) that is running 4.3 MK2 and im still a bit worried im missing information as far as what can and cant be flashed after rooting. Ive read up on KNOX and have decided im not going to stress over triggering it but I dont want to end up with any other issues like the OP mentioned.
My plan is to root w/ CF Auto Root, Flash TWRP via ODIN, and then flash Beanstalk 4.4.2 via TWRP (efs and nandroid backup made somewhere within these steps).
If done correctly, can the above process cause any issues?
How would I downgrade to a 4.2.2 rom if I wanted to?
Thanks a lot for your help

Your plan should work fine mate but you can no longer downgrade into 4.2.2 after flashing a stock 4.3 rom. and if you flash 4.4.2 stock Kitkat in a future you can no longer downgrade to stock 4.3 . but you can definitely flash a custom 4.3 rom, as well as AOSP and CM11 Roms
Edited. Fixed
No Sound
I have Wifi but no sound...

First determine if your phone is 720 or 720T
if it's 720 then you need the full NAE tar file
for 720T you need the full NAF file
Get on download mode and ODIN via PDA the tar and that should do it.(any ODIN 3.xx should do it)
Once you get back to stock do a nand backup of all the (system, modem, efs etc... I know some say its useless but still do it) so this way when you want to go back you can dod it from recovery.
What about this Media fire link worked.
Oh yea, and as mentioned make sure you're on the standard 720 and not the T version - different tar but it too is here.

N9005 need help. Possible brick?

Hi all and apologies and a million thanks in advance for your help and patience.
I have been trying for the past 8 hours to root (which I did successfully on stock 4.3) then install a CWM and 4.4 Rom. I didn't do any back ups etc(I know I am a D head... Just that I have done this several times before and never had any issues and didn't have anything to lose, well I thought anyway, I had previously rolled back to stock using Kies with Note 2 and thought I could do it with note 3, but nooooo)
Anyway I'm stuck at the Galaxy boot screen. I can get into recovery and download screens but that is it. I would really appreciate it if any help could be given. I have tried searching the forums but Im a little out of my depth now. I cant seem to find a resolution as I cant get into a rom.
Many thanks
Dale

stock recovery for note

Hi hello everyone, was wondering if any one may throw me a link to the stock recovery of note 3 on 4.3 android n9005
This way i may flash it through flashify and have stock revcovery again, then can take updates without having to use odin or any other similar software for as i do not own a computer and i wont be near one any time soon... Phone has been really acting up lately...
Or maybe no one has stripped the stock recovery yet? Because i have searched quite awhile and have come to no avail
Thank you

I think the CF-autoroot packages include a stock recovery. Maybe you can extract it from there?
