[Q] rare problem with Galaxy s4 i9505 Us Cellular - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have searched for several hours now about 12 for a fix and this makes no sense to me so i'm thinking this thread may help or just piss people off idk how forums work any way
after installing this lollipop ROM(link) everything was working perfect very smooth very few bugs almost perfect. i flashed back to unrooted stock after this and now i do not have an imei or a network but i can use my data..... i have tryed the following fixes
1. turn it off and then back on again.....
2. re flash the stock rom with odin
3. use efs professional backup then restore with adb
if i go back to the lollipop rom that i tested i have back the network but my wifi will not work on this rom -.- very confused about what is going on and do not want to risk re flashing the radio if that will brick it
any ideas?

[Q] Help - stuck

I was getting bored with my standard s4 rom, so in my rush to move forward I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 (►►[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - v10 - Feel the Experience of Nexus◄◄) thinking I was on a i9505 and not bothering to check and also not bothering to make a backup.
anyway it works but I was getting random reboots (known on this rom) and mad battery drain (what previously was 50% at the end of the day now is flat).
So i decided to go back to stock. It was then that I realised that when I do a system check, my phone actually is a i9505g.
I downloaded a couple of i9505g images from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569510 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544056 however when I try and flash, ODIN come up with a fail. I have tried changing to stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442882 but still no luck.
Interestingly when I try flashing the modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452034 these won't flash either.
I'm a bit flummoxed as I can flash other modems to it via odin.
I haven't uninstalled drivers and odin or tried other ports as when i flash modems they do work (they don't all actually work but i can change them) and i can change custom recovery too.
Any suggestions???

I'm going to start by saying you're damn lucky you haven't totally bricked your phone.
You really need to slow down and understand what you're doing.
It sounds like you do have an i9505, otherwise the GE ROM you flashed would of giving you an error 7.
Anyway because you have flashed a Google Edition ROM onto your i9505 it has changed the build prop so now your device says it's an i9505G.
You should be fine to flash any stock firmware for an i9505 to restore your phone.
In future read instructions very carefully and make sure you actually know what you're doing before attempting to flash your phone.
Hope you can get it back up and running as an i9505

I thought I did, I've been flashing phones, for years now, to a lesser degree, and though I've got in deep water, I 've never drowned.
I presumed that regardless of what you flashed onto the phone, system info it would report back what it actually was - so when I checked and saw that it was listed a i9505g I didn't know you could change what it was reported back. Live and learn.
I will have a go with a i9505 ROM and see what happens...

[Q] Note 3 Unusable after root & Note 4 ROM

Dear tweakers of XDA,
I've got a problem with my note 3. After i'd seen the thread for the Note 4 styled S5 Based ROM. I decided i wanted to give Rooting and flashing custom roms a try ( Havn't done it since my S2).
All went well and dandy, i rooted with CF Autoroot knowing my knox counter would trip to 0x1. I've installed CWM Recovery, downloaded the rom and installed it through the CWM Recovery. After install i saw that my wifi didnt work and my 3G Data didnt work which was strange because the regular calling functioned ? Also i installed AEL's newest kernel (because the thread says it wasnt included i had to flash it myself )
After not being able to fix this i'd decided to download ODIN and the correct firmware for my phone, Tmobile Netherlands N9005 TNL version 4.4.2
I flashed it back using ODIN and to my surprise the phone was extremely slow. Reacting really late 5-10-15 seconds later to the sleep/wake button. The lockscreen would also hang for about 30 seconds and the IMEI is unknown. Whenever i open the Phone app it gets stuck. Network doesn't work at all ofcourse because of the IMEI. I do have a backup of my EFS and i'm not too scared of anything. I just really want my note back the way it was
Could you kind people help me ?
if you have a efs back up, so restore it with the original firmware
I used to face the same problem, but i was not as lucky as you - i had no efs back up, and i have to use sptbox - e.g. my original Imei has gone :3
btw, did you face any sensors issues?
There is a efs recovery script in note 3 Android dev thread. Gold luck!

[Q] Lost wi-fi when going to 4.4.4 from rooted 4.42- can't get it back

I rooted to 4.4.2 and it went fine- then I realized I had lost wi-fi.
I have tried to restore and tried using odin and zip files to install a stock rom after I found a similar problem with link on
Sprint forums saying it will fix the ""button won't stay on" but the fix only works if the device is in stock rom.
answer on Sprint forum says baseband version was mk2 needs to be nae.
Return the phone to stock, run the fix for the wi-fi and then re-root.
I have downloaded and ran several roms that say they are stock- I've factory reset, cleared cache, no matter what I do,
I end up with a rooted device in 4.4.2 and no wi-fi. If I could just get the wi-fi back I would take it at this point
This was just a little quick upgrade that turned bad and long
The Sprint forum had a link to get it to nae, but wont work if rooted., so need to put the phone back to stock- run the patch and then can upgrade to kit kat again
TLDR: I cannot get my Sprint s4 back to any version that isn't rooted. I have tried several (lots) of roms that say" stock-unrooted" rom,
Never goes back to stock- stays rooted without wifi-
Ran a rom VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_SPR but when I install I get msge "ifooter is wring signature invalid" - and it fails.
reformatted the sd card, tried different roms and get some message and it stays rooted and no wifi.
TLDR: need to get stock rom so I can get back wi-fi and then root the whole thing. as 4.4.2 Or 4 , if it exists)
Any options and any ideas as to where or what to do?
EDIT: for clarity cause I am not making much sense at this point
Thanks
Heh... a TL;DR for a TL;DR... the internet is becoming one crazy place.

Maybe a dumb question, but why not just unroot first, then?

[Q] Wifi lost; Unique problem maybe.

Anyways as my title says, i don't have wifi. I had first rooted my phone, but then I unrooted my phone by flashing some unrooted os on the samsung which caused two problems. My wifi and mobile data didn't work at all, but after I took it to a repair shop they fixed the mobile data and got it working again and rooted my phone but not the wifi part. According to the person that tried to fix my phone, the current android os, 4.3 - jellybean, that i flashed via odin is preventing the wifi from working. I don't really know whats wrong with the phone but can anyone help me? Also by baseband version is 1337UCUFNJ4 and the build number is JSS15.1337UCUEMK2. Should i try to find a ROM that matches my baseband version and flash it via odin? Thank you in advance!
P.S. This is my first thread, so please tell me if i violated any rules.

im having the same problem and i think we both have knox stupid security back on the phone that's blocking the wlan to start from bad permission or encryption
so personally yeah i will install back the original firmware (before 4.3) from factory reset (or via odin if i have to force it) then im gonna re-root the phone
having back permission ill remove knox (probly with titanium) lock and box bs from base firmware and probly remove root right
then im guessing ill have my internet back now will i go full rom again or basic function thats a good question
so many freaking remote exploit lately
ill let you know if that fix it
I also just found this
om22 said:
1. untick "Auto reboot" in odin
2. flash the stock rom again
3. reboot your phone to download mode again (by holding the power and vol down button for 10 sec)
4. flash the stock rom a second time with auto reboot ticked
This will fix your problem.

seems that clicking auto reboot might be the cause
so would i install the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 file following that method or would i have to find another firmware/rom/(i don't know what to call this) unrooted

official did not work for me
i the flashed / reset to factory for Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M VLUAMDJ
rebooted and prayed but no luck
finally found a solution but that did changed my PDA version to 9505 but got everything working again
so if you dont mind the 9505 change (more rom and solution for 9505) id go with echoes for all in 1 fresh install solution and its a nice rom
Instruction can be found on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372286
knowing the problem was modem i did also found this solution to re-flash and fix wifi on i337 without changing to 9505
Follow these instruction to stay i337 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46762296&postcount=1
but i have not tested for i337
in the end i got this setup
rom echoes illusion kot 49h
kernel : 3.4.103-aelkernel-v6.2
bootloader and baseband i337mvlufnc1
pda :i9595v jughn2
hardware/ board : qcom/msm8960
platform / chip : msm8960 / apq9064
modem /board : mdm9215m
hope that help

EDIT PS: These solution require basic knowledge with odin flash and cwm recovery or twrp recovery

Soft-bricked and recovered backup. Now unable to root.

Hello everyone.
N910W running stock Samsung firmware, 5.1.1 Lollipop.
I had my phone rooted a few months back and decided I wanted to try a Marshmallow rom. I created a backup of my pre-rooted device a few days prior, so I wasnt worried.
The rom I flashed for some reason would not allow me to use my carriers network, but only other networks. So i restored my unrooted backup.
Now whenever I try to root my phone, I get a bootloop. Every method I've tried so far (TWRP flash and ODIN, pretty much) has produced similar results. I could find the original samsung firmware for the device and flash it over and start from scratch, but I don't want to lose my data if I don't have to.
Halp. Send halp.
thanks guys.
P.s. i tried using the search, but this is either a unique problem or the search bar sucks.
