[Q]HELP Samsung S4 not starting

Hi guys,
First thanks for all your help in advance.
My mobile yesterday started to give me error "Not registered on the network" every time I tried to do a phone call. After google-it apparently this is a common problem on the Samsung devices and following a tutorial on the link bellow I was able to root my mobile phone without any problem and following the tutorial on idroidspace I was able to try all the solutions as suggested
As a first option they told me to try using ARIZA patch, but when I ran it says that my model is not compatible. As second option they advice me to flash my modem, I have follow all the instructions but didn't work as well, I was still receiving the error when I tried to do a phone call.
Today I was looking to find the stock firmware (ROM) for my Samsung thinking that a reinstallation could work to solve the error, but after I installed the Kernel file using ODIN v3.07 my mobile is now saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and after that is not showing any image on the screen
I'm trying to turn my mobile using recovery mode but the same message shows up and the mobile is not turning on...I'm only able to turn the mobile on using the download mode...and ODIN is still detecting it
My Mobile is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 XXUBMEA unlocked to all the networks from UK
Can you guys please help me? I probably have destroyed the phone already and seek for help to late. But can you guys help me?
Thanks

You need to go to http://www.SamMobile.com and download the newest official stock
i9505 Odin flash firmware/rom and flash it.
Here is the firmware you need:
GT-I9505 United Kingdom (EE) 2013 November 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ8 I9505EVREMJ2
This is the latest official stock samsung jellybean 4.3 firmware for your phone.
This is the stock official firmware for your country and for your phone so it's NOT rooted.
You will have to create a new user account at SamMobile.com but it takes only a minute.
Good luck!

I'm downloading it now.
To install it I will need to use ODIN, right? Click on the button PDA and select the right? Just in case and for double checking
Also, do you think this will solve the error with the phone calls? And should I worry about the kernel message on the startup?
Thanks

is it possible to get root and recovery on these roms? no point if cant..............do i need downgrade then root and recovery?

yes. that is possible as that you will change knox warranty void to 0x1 i think.

hi guys,
I have managed to install the suggested firmware and now the mobile is turning on and I have the recovery mode back as well. The only problem is now the Wi-Fi doesn't work and the error is still there everytime that I try to do a phone call.
There is any suggestions? Do you guys think if I use a custom firmware instead of the stock one the problems will go away? Do you guys recommend any firmware for my device?
Open for any suggestions as I really don't know what can I do more...
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was just on the phone with Samsung support and they actually told me to look for an answer in the forums, and I will be surprised how much information can I find out here...
I'm writing a complain at the moment as the phone is not even 6 months old and I really don't know what to do to fix it
Any suggestion from your guys? I'm really out of options at the moment
Thanks,

Galaxy S4 reverting back to stock

Hi there,
I have installed Cyanogenmod on my S4, but it isn't what i needed on my phone. So I want to revert back to the stock firmware. I planned on doing this via Odin, yet i don't manage to do so. I open Odin, load the PDA, wait for it to load, click on start and get a fail message: Fail (auth). On the S4 i see the text 'sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 1'. Next my phone won't boot anymore untill I flash CWM. I have searched the internet for a solution but I cannot find my problem anywhere. I'm in desperate search for a solution.

Note 4 (SM-N910H) stuck in samsung logo (solved)

Hi all,
First of all sorry my English not that good,
and please read it to the end
few days ago I tried to downgrade from Lollipop 5.1.1 to Kitkat 4.4.4 which i found later it is something can't be done,
but back then processor failed and i get some things on Odin , it stops on sboot.bin and fail and my phone in download mode says : sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so as an android user i looked all arount the web and Xda forums and found a way to flash Kitkat with a way to avoid
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
which was to delete sboot.bin and modem and compress them to .tar again , and guys that was the dumbest thing i did,
My note won't start and says : FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
so as usual I looked again and someone somewhere said "why don't you try PIT file"
so i tried and that work for me and WoW my note work again , and from then i I stopped all the Experiments at the poor Note 4.
but yesterday some App on my note (which require Root and I can't tell you what it is) do some weird stuff and reboot.
the devise work but this message appeared (com.google.process.gapps - unfortunately google play store has stopped) constantly, constantly and constantly ,and that is painful , so I backed up my files and wiped every thing and restart the devise but still getting the same message , so I tried flashing lollipop again but still getting the same error on download mode
sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
so i used PIT file again but nothing worked
so you know the deal , I looked around and again someone somewhere said use CWM to deal with sw rev check fail device 2 binary 1
So i did , and get into recovery and I use every wipe option i did found,
and restart my note , and THIS IS THE END MY NOTE STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO NO MATTER WHAT I DID
right now i am downloading Ukranian lollipop firmware but I don't think this will make a difference
Any help guys any solution to fix my phone , please i can't afford to pay to fix it
thank you in advance
UPDATE : My friend told my to root it again maybe it will work , but i just got the old recovery but still STUCK IN GALAXY NOTE 4 LOGO
So my device now working i just download this frimware
HERE
Ukranian one , and work like magic , I hope this thread work for someone else ,

If flashing the latest stock Samsung firmware back onto your device doesn't fix your problem. I would recommend taking it into a Samsung Service Center to see if they can fix it for you. If it's software based they will usually fix it for you free of charge.

Help!!!! I think i bricked my phone

So I tried rooting my galaxy note 4 (Baseband: N910AUCU1COC4, firmware version: 5.1.1) using KingRoot. After it was done it said that it was rooted, but once I rebooted it wouldn't go to the home menu
So I did some research and came upon Kies. I tried using that but it wouldn't even connect to my PC via USB
Then I tried Odin to try and install a stock firmware (N910AUCU1COC4 version 5.0.1), but everytime I did that it would just give me the fail message "SYS REV CHECK FAIL: Refer 2 > Binary 1"
Please help. I just want to be able to use my phone again. Is there nothing I can do?
keep in mind this is my first time using any of these programs and i'm extremely new to this. I'm really desperate at this point
any help is appreciated. thanks

Anyone?

Nevermind, I fixed the problem by flashing a stock rom with a different baseband (N910AUCU2DOI2) from here http://androidromupdate.com/att-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910a-stock-firmware/ and now it's working pretty much perfectly...
...except I don't have my mobile data anymore. Can someone help with that?

I managed to fix that problem as well using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZArwrXIO4

stuck on loading screen, can't go back to stock firmware

Good day,
i tried flashing custom rom in my Note 4 N910C. however, i messed up big time. i had many problems, then i decided to go back to the official stock firmware i have in my PC.
every time i run the ODEN, i put the Rom in the PDA, then click "start". it takes a few seconds, then i see this message (all threads completed. (succeded 0 / failed 1)
i tried restarting my PC, but no luck. i changed the PC port, but no luck. i restarted my phone many times, but no luck.
it is worth mentioning that i wiped everything using the recovery mode.
the download mode information:
Current Binary: Samsung official
System status: official
Knox Warrant VOID: 1
RP SWREV: 2
SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, Binary: 1
all i want now is to return to my stock firmware and my phone is working again
i am no expert, but i want to learn, but that is why i risked it
can you help?
thanks so much

Go on SamMobile site and download the rom related to your device. Apply via Odin and ready
You can also use the Phone Info + app to get the exact ROM for your device

before i ruined my phone, it was running 6.0.1 Marshamallow.
i am now downloading Marshamllow ROM from sammobile for my note 4. and i will try again. hopefully it will work i will be really broken if it does not work again!!!!!

You can not download any ROM version. It has to be in your area. You know what is the base version of its N4?
You did wipes after you have installed? Enter recovery mode - wipe - advanced and select "Dalvik, System and Cache"

and yes, i did wipe everything actually.
i have been sitting on my PC for hours, but due to my lack of experience, i am having a very hard time resolving this issue.
i hope it is resolved

Okay. Take it easy
You wore what version of Android? 4.4.4? 5.1.1?

i really thank you for trying to help out bro
before i ruined it, it was running Marshamallow 6.0.1 stock firmware.
after having issues, i had to wipe everything and flash back to an older version 5.1.1 (i have it in my PC). and only then i started having these issues i stated earlier.
i am still waiting for my download to finish, i am downloading the Marshamallow 6.0.1.
i started to doubt that flashing it to an older version, maybe this where the problem is.
what do you think?

Use google translator ... lol
There is an update of 5.1.1 (a COJ5) that prevents you from coming to 4.4.4. Recently that came out a version 6.0.1 that stock also prevents returning to 5.1.1
I do not know if it can be what happened to you.
You can use the Samfirm app to be able to download faster.
When flashing is you're downloading, it gives an error post the screen here for us.
