Hello every one.
I have a problem with my Galaxy S4 I9500.
iv trued to root it already 5 times.
the odin is completing the process with secsess. but i still dont have a root. and cant install the SuperSU.
in the recovery i have an error.
please help. because i need to root the phone to install the custom rom. because my phone is randomly dropping the network. i think its software problem. becasue when im restarting the phone its working without a problem for aboute 15-20minutes and starting to decrease the network reception untill the no network sign appears!
Thank you!

What method are you using to root?

You are using one firmware branded:
- Device Name : Samsung Galaxy S4 Exynos Octa GT-I9500
- Device Model : GT-I9500

- Firmware Version : I9500XXUGNK1
- OS Name : KitKat

But your CSC is ILO (unlock).
* COUNCIL: Download, unzip and flash via ODIN the latest firmware for your device: HERE. Try to root it then with CF-Auto-Root. This maybe solve the droping conection problems too :highfive:.

[Q] Galaxy S4 I9505 Original Help Needed

Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original
I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.
And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.
And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.
I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: Unknown
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100

Product Code: OMD

Which Firmware did you try to install? According to your problem description you are most likely trying to downgrade, which is not possible under certain circumstances.

Apparently you can only downgrade AP but not the modem. First flash your new ROM, then flash your current modem version afterwards.

Have tried several baseband to revive, but cannot

Your issue is most likely hardware related. I would take it to the service center and see if they can fix it.

It's possible a hardware problem but you can try this:
1. Download and flash the latest firmware for your device: HERE. via ODIN. Dial *#1234# when the process finish and your phone boot normally. Have to appear this (reflash the same firmware if not):
AP: I9500ZSUDNK1
CP: I9500XXUGNF6
CSC: I9500OZSDNK1
2. Good luck :highfive:

Cellular Data issues after flashing Lollipop stock ROM with different modem

hi All,
i hope you're doing well.
the problem with my S4 is that i'm so impatient, that i went into upgrading my phone with a stock rom but with a different modem (i didn't knew the risks).
using odin 3.10 i flashed a lollipop version named as follows I9505XXUHOB7_I9505QXXHOB4_I9505XXUHOB7_HOME. while i have I9505XXUAMDC modem ... it worked fine expect for cellular data : i was always getting EDGE (when i force it to WCDMA i get no internet). i decided to flash the modem but nothing changed.
i tried a Jelly Bean version : I9505XXUAMDC_I9505VFGAMDA_I9505XXUAMDC_HOME (i m sure about I9505XXUAMDC but i don't know about the CSC). but i didn't got WIFI working.
i then flashed the lollipop version and the modem at once, and i got HSDPA :fingers-crossed: . but i often have "no service available" message when using (GSM +WCDMA).
i'm asking for 2 exclusive things :
how to recover my official stock rom.
OR
how to fix this issue.

note 3 baseband unknown after lollipop official update

hi guys i have samsung galaxy note three exynos sm-n900 and i got lollipop update ota
after i updated i ended up with baseband unknow issue and a null imei
i have access to z3x but the current version 20.5 doesnt support repairing this devices it only supports erasing efs .
i would really appreciate any help you can give ..
thank you in advance
I've just also had problems flashing firmwares,
I suggest to go look on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the latest
firmware for your country and device, and flash it with Odin3.
If you still get unknown baseband & no IMEI after that, look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2740676
Basically, you have to extract the modem.bin from your new firmware,
and flash it separately using Odin3, under "CP".
I used Khizar's method and this fixed the problem for me.
