radio .84 causing my phone bootloop

I had used cm 10.1 for a year and one day I decided to flash slimbean 4.3 weekly 1.4. So I downloaded bootloader Z20i.zip and radio .84.zip and flashed via TWRP 2.6.3.0 and then wiped everything, flashed rom then gapps. I used the original kernel of rom. Everything seem to be fine and flawless. but one day my phone hanged and rebooted itself stucked at bootanimation. I tried to restart many times and it didnt success. So I decided to download factory image JWR66Y from google and run flash-all.bat via fastboot mode and then flash superSU via TWRP. Yeah..bootloop was gone. I used stock JWR66Y rom and kernel with root for a while and it happened again. One day my phone hanged and rebooted itself stucked at X animation. I tried to Wipe cache, davik, factory reset but it didnot success. So I tried to install cm10.2, PA3.99 (I have had installation zip file in my phone storage.) but it didnot sucess too. So I decided to flash stock Stock 4.2.2 JDQ39 image from google. thanks God my phone resurrected. But I dont want 4.2.2 anymore. I decide to try again with 4.3 stock JWR66Y. It happened bootloop same as above I described again. I have no idea anymore but I tried flash radio.48 via fastboot and finally my phone can use normally. Bootloop was gone away. Now I use Slimbean 4.3 weekly 1.6 original kernel with bootloader z20i and radio .48 without any bootloop.
So I think the problem for me is why radio .84 make my phone got bootloop.

I have the same exact problem! :crying:
Cannot update beyond 4.2.2. I have tried all the things that you seem to have tried but with absolutely no luck. And since there aren't many people with this problem, nobody has come up with a solution. It is extremely frustrating to see everyone else updating to to the latest firmware while we have to make do with the ancient 4.2.2
If anybody can think of anything which might help, please go ahead and share.(Cannot return the phone back to Google as I got it from another country)

Hi,
I just fixed a Nexus 4 with broken screen and fastboot flashed the latest 4.4.2 official ROM but I was stuck in bootloop on the 4 circles.
Then I flashed the 4.2.2 version and everything worked until I accepted the the 4.3 update (official OTA) and the phone was bootlooping again.
Then I found your posts and downgraded the radio .84 to .48 and android 4.3 finally booted successfully.
BUT, when trying to upgrade to 4.4 (from 4.3 with official OTA), I'm stuck again! And downgrading radio .97 to .48 does not work anymore...
I've found nothing like a software fix until now. People facing the same issues are mostly getting some replacement devices. Given that I replaced the screen myself, I'm not certain that they would give me a new one.
Any feedback from someone having the same issue?

Hi, yes I finally found out that my proximity sensor was only disconnected (I forgot to reconnect it properly after the screen replacement). Then I managed to update my phone.

Well, I meant I could get 4.3 to work after downgrading the radio file (baseband) to its previous version, otherwise I was stuck in bootloop in 4.3 already.
But I couldn't do the same operation after flashing 4.4 : even downgrading the radio to a previous version didn't get 4.4 to work.
Once I reconnected the proximity sensor, I could use any radio and was able to update from 4.2 to 4.3 and 4.4 or directly flashing the latest.
You can use the Androsensors app to see if your light and proximity sensors are working properly, the displayed values should change all the time. If they are not changing or if there is no value displayed, it means that your sensors are not working properly

[Q] [PROBLEM] com.android.phone has stopped working

Hello everybody,
Im very new to this forum but i have a serious problem.
I was trying the s5 phone and contacts on my i9505 and i found out that it wasn't working properly so i deleted secphone.apk. I rebooted my phone and now it keeps saying "the process com.android.phone had stopped". i cant acces anything so what should i do? I just factory reset my phone and that didn't work either
i'm sorry for my bad english
Please can somebody help me ?
What android u were using? Android 4.2.2, 4.3 or 4.4.2? Do you have installed Custom Recovery?
I have CWM installed, rooted and 4.4.2 kitkat installed and i have the original stock rom
Happened to me
you need to download the original secphone.apk again and put it into the priv-app folder
or flash stock again via odin then do a factory reset
and factory reset alone will do nothing
Do you know where i can get the original secphone.apk and maybe the original seccontacts.apk?
idont know, maybe you can try to flash stock then wipe data
if you have an i9500 I can upload the apps for you
but Im not sure if you can install i9500 apps on i9505
Im downloading the stock rom now. i hope this will work.
I found out that when i remove my SIM card the problem is gone and when i re-insert my SIM the problem is back again and i cant get past the PIN acces menu
dont worry its will work

Galaxy Note 3 Bootloop

Good morning,
I'm stuck with a big problem on my Note 3 HLTE.
Here's the story : I was previously on the PAC Rom 5.1 and I wanted to change to get the CM13.0 that was just released. So I've performed the full wipe (dalvik, cache and factory reset) and then when I wanted to update the OS, it didn't work. I ended up with a phone in recovery, telling me that there was no OS installed on it.
after several attempts, I then tried to revert back to a stock ROM based on 4.4.2 with Odin. The installation went on without any problems, I was able to get through the first install with my Gmail account and then the phone rebooted, and that's where I got the bootloop curse.
what I did then, was to redo an install via Odin with my carrier stock rom, and I got a FAIL message. So, I retried an install with Odin by adding a PIT file and another ROM still based on 4.4.2. the install worked, as I was able to set up my Gmail account and so on. At this stage, I wasn't able able to get any signal for calls, 4G . In parameters, the baseband was identified as "Unknown". Then, the phone rebooted again, and I got the bootloop curse again...
My last attempt has been to install my carrier stock ROM after performing a full wipe, with ODIN. The install was successful and I got the phone rebooted to stuck on bootloop.
So, here's where I am, and I would like to solve this problem, please. What I think is that, due to the fact that I was on Lollipop, the bootloop might be due to the downgrade attempt to KK. So if there's any way to solve this problem, I'm eager to take it.
Thank you !
Hey Guys,
I've been able to resolve my bootloop problem.
I've installed TWRP with Odin, made a full wipe including data (I've saved them before), and I installed the CM12.1 by Temasek, and way to go, the phone is running fine ^^
Now, I'm just stuck with the lost IMEI thing and baseband. SO my question now is : if I want to install my operator stock ROM for getting back, should I just choose the Lollipop ROM, or can I take the KK one without getting stuck in bootloop again ?
Thank you !

Note 3 lolipop problem

Hi to everyone,
I have some problems with my SM-N9005 I will explain everything from beginning what I did so you can have a clear picture. I had stock 4.4.2 rom when I bought my phone but I am a app freak so I had to do root actually my friend did it using odin because I am not so good with android knowledge. That was almost 2 years ago and with 4.4.2 I had no problems. Using camera, recording, wifi everything worked great. I have fastest class San Disk 64 GB memory card and I set camera video to save directly on it and it worked without any problems. This past month my phone started to be slow because of 2 years junk and using so I decided to put latest custom rom (I think 5.1.x something) but my friend was afraid if we dont put good rom that we will brick my phone so he told me to do a reset factory defaults and the phone will be unrooted and then go to software update option and update it to 5.0. I couldn't do that because it reported error phone changed or something like it was rooted but it was not. Lucky for me before root we did cwm backup of my phone so my friend restored backup and then we tried again software update again but still same error phone is changed (I was hundred precent sure that phone is unrooted but still no luck). Then we decided to install Kies and do firmware upgrade from options tab and it worked. It was 1.3 Gb update and kies showed that it is 5.0 and last firmware version for note 3. So I am using phone for few days now but I noticed few problems. Everytime I restart phone it forgets all wifi passwords and also when I come home I meen when I change ruter same story. Today I wanted to talk a picture and when I took a picture and go to gallery to see it (from camera up left corner see last image) phone restarted and when I wanted to record a video it said recording failed and then it restarts every time.Everything else is working great, phone is fast,maybe battery drains faster than on 4.4.2 but it is not a big problem for me. Sorry for my english if I have some mistakes. Can you help me please with these 2 issues?
??
Anyone please?
Did you try with a factory reset ?https://www.androidpit.com/factory-reset-note-3
You could possibly try flashing the stock android 5.0 with odin, that should be the best way of making sure everything is installed properly unless anyone thinks that would be a bad idea.
Chris
I tried factory reset and same story, ok I will try with odin I will go to see my friend in few days and then I will post results
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.
