Hi there guys.
A friend of mine is selling a Note 4 N910F that has some problems.
Here it goes : he installed TWRP and he rooted the phone.. but he said that when he wanted to wipe and reset to the defaults, he accidentally checked to delete the OS.. and now he said he can't flash the phone with ODIN because it gives him an error... but he can enter TWRP and Download mode.
Is there any way to make this phone work again ?
The phone is locked to Orange network, if that helps.
Thanks in advance!
If the odin method don't work then get a rom that can be flashed via recovery so copy the rom to ext sd card from pc and insert it into the phone. Boot into recovery and wipe all including internal sd but abiously exclude the ext sd card and then try the flash.
If it don't work with one rom then try and get another rom and keep going through all the custom roms from xda until it works.

Hi everyone
Last week I tried to flash Paranoid Android 2.52 over Slim 2.8, but then my phone started to bootloop. I was unable to get it to boot into recovery, only download mode. Flashing a stock ROM with and without .pit file and repartition would not let it boot. I tried to flash various versions of Semaphore with Odin, it succeeded but the phone still wouldn't boot into recovery. I tried CF-Root JW4 4.4 with success, it booted into recovery, but flashing a stock ROM still couldn't make it boot.
So I flashed Semaphore 2.5.0 through CWM, but from this recovery I can't flash anything, can't restore any backup and can't mount partitions like /data and /system. Does someone knows how could I bring my GS back to life ? Thanks.
I've used odin to root and flash cwm on the SII, SIII and Note I and II, I'm hoping it's similar. Have you already started from scratch? Flashed stock and then try and root again and go from there? See if there is a 'superwipe' option in any of the forums for your device to completely wipe it, storage and everything.

As I said, I tried to flash stock GB ROM first, I think that's what you mean by start from scratch, but it seems like I can only flash kernels... I'm gonna check for a superwipe.
Edit : it seems like there's no superwipe for i9000...

try to format everything ( after you have saved your important files to PC) in CWM and than go into download mode and flash a JVU ROM +Root +CWM with 512 pit from My Android Collection
Need to know what is your phone model . Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
Need a guide, look into My Guides and Manuals
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3
My phone is the international GS (i9000). I can't even format the partitions =/ I already tried the 1 minute power button manip, without SIM card and SD, and it didn't help me flash... What ROM should I try ? Froyo, GB, one in particular ?

Dear all,
I need your help on solving a problem I am having on my GT-i9505.
Yesterday I have tried to root the device with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505, and it worked fine until I noticed that it was somehow very slow on phone start.
This slowdown problem was not caused by the root process because I have noticed it even before the root process.
In order to try to solve it, I have installed the CWF i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4, and made a backup of the system before make a full system restore (wipe data/factory reset) via CWF.
After that, the system did not started and stays on a boot loop.
Accessed the CWF again and restored the backup, but the problem remains.
After all this process, I get totally lost and tried several solutions and none of them worked.
At this moment I can only access "download mode" and CWM based recovery.
Since I am already lost, and really do not know where to go next, I ask you help on how can I solve this problem and have the phone working again.
The only data I have about the phone:
MODEL: GT-I9505
I9505XXUEMJ5 / I9505ZWAXST
I know this is an international model.
I think on downloading the stock firmware from samsung (4.2.2 or 4.3) no not know which one is advisable, but before that I really need to know if there any additional solution because I don´t even know if this will solve the problem.
Another problem is the hotfile hosting, since I connection is very unstable and will take some time to download the file.
Anyone can help me please?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Paulo Matos
Since you already have CWM installed you may aswell download a new rom and copy it an SD card. install from recovery.

Thank you simondo12.
Do you mean, download a stock firmware from samsung for this especific model and install it from sd card?
If not, what file do you advise for my model?
Since I am unable to access the phone via android, I have tried to access the sd card from CWF. What I noticed:
- I can access the external sd card from the pc, but I cannot access the internal sd card from the pc.
- I cannot access the external sd card directly from CWF (perhaps because of it's size since it´s a 64GB), but I have access to internal sd card
Even if I copy the file to the external sd card, I will be unable to install it from CWF because I have no access to the external sd card (error on mounting external sd card). Is it the size of it?
I am trying to download the new firmware (4.3) from samsung for my model and will try to install via odin. Will I require to install the attachment that says "kernel file"? This process will take lots of time because I have an unstable internet connection for downloading via hotfile and uploaded file servers.
The problem is that I do not know if it will work because the phone is rooted and have cwf installed.
Thank you very much
Paulo
since its a 64GB have formatted it in exfat? if so then CWM may not recognize it. I would try installing Philz recovery if you are using standard CWM see if it will recognise the card. Do you have another SD card you could try?
There's not really much point in flashing a new firmware in odin if you have cwm installed. Just copy custom rom over to an SD card.

Hi symondo12,
Thank you once again.
I have alredy found the Philz thread and found a gt-i9505 version and instructions to install both from sd and from odin.
I will try and see what happens.
Regardless the custom rom, since my galaxy s4 was on 4.3, will I be abble to downgrade? Ask you that because I do not know if there is a custom rom for gt-i9505 on android 4.3.
If not, just need to copy the stock rom to sdcard and install it the same way as a custom rom?
Thank you very much for your time
Regards
Paulo

Dear symondo12,
I have changed the sd card to a 2GB sd card and CWF now recognizes it.
I will see if I can download the stock firmware from samsung and see if I can install it and solve my problem.
Additionally I found a "Pure-Google-pre-rooted-4.3-v2.3"... hope it works.
Thank you once again
Paulo
This is really embarrassing.I desperately need help.
Earlier today i rooted my nexus 4 and everything seemed to be working just fine. I installed CWM 6.0.2.3.
Then i tried to flash my device with the latest ROM i.e. Kitkat
However i didn't copy the radio image in my device. And i panicked. However when i tried flashing the ROM, It showed status 7 error,
and i did a factory reset, dalvik cache wipe. When i tried starting my phone it didn't start.
Now finally, i can access my recovery mode HOWEVER when in bootloader, my PC does not recognize the device, But, it is recognized once in recovery. And the second problem is that when i try the
"Choose file from SD card"
i get error "No Files found"
So now i can't flash a new recovery. Neither can i flash another ROM because the choose file from SD card doesn't seem to be working
Please help me
Boot into boot loader; download and run the toolkit. Flash stock image. Sit back and let it do its thing. Remember, it will wipe everything on the phone.

Good morning everybody.
I have a rooted Galaxy xcover 2 with link2sd installed in order to solve the classic memory issue problem. The program gave me troubles in moving apps to the sdcard, so i read on the internet that i should format the sdcard properly in order to use it.
Afer followind the procedure of the tool, my phone got stuck in boot.
I can still use download mode and odin works, but
-If i flash the stock rom, i cannot anymore access cwm recovery
-if i flash cwm recovery, the boot sequence let me access ONLY the recovery (like there is no rom inside).
when i try to wipe from cwm, it says it can access to cache and data partitions.
I think that the tool damaged somehow the partitions of my phone. How can i fix that?
I've been oversecure while flashing and i didn't make any nandroid of my phone. Can anyone give me one?
your help is veery appreciated,
Thank you!
PS: if you need to looki inside the tool code, there is a file called "dos.sh", but i didn't find anything particular
I have this problem when flashing to the stock rom. Maybe try this :

For those trying to install this or another rom and having the no signal(no smallband) problem. This worked for me on 2 xcovers.
Install cmw: http://theunlockr.com/2014/02/27/install-clockworkmod-recovery-samsung-galaxy-xcover-2-gt-s7710/
Root it: http://theunlockr.com/2014/02/27/root-samsung-galaxy-xcover-2-gt-s7710/
Now normally you can install the custom rom now(vanir). If you do you probably get no signal.
Start odin and flash this file : S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXEAMB3-20130713.tar.md5
I found it on this site: http://www.ulozto.cz/xHADj5PD/samsung-7z
If its dead you can pm me and I can send it.
After I flashed this the phone would just go in a bootloop.
Don't be afraid this is normal.
Now install the vanir rom in the cmw recover mode.
After this it should work fine.
Add a microsd card with 2 partitions and install mount2sd and you have a fully working phone with(almost) unlimited space.
I'm using if for an year now and it works great.
Better then most €500 phones which break after 1 fall .

Hi everybody! I'm new of this forum and I'm having some problem with my note 4. Im having continuos freeze, lag and reboot. Sometimes I need to take off battery for 19 seconds for make my power on burton works. Cuttently i have nameless rom v6 with latest nameless kernel but im had this problem also in other rom like kyubi sdx and the other note 5 Port spanish rom (i dont remember the name). All the time ive installed those rom ive wiped system data cache and dalvin cache and ive installed bootlader and modem. I really dont know how to fix this.
Just now after writing this post my phone suddenly shutted down :" kernel panic, download mode ". After ive taken off battery my phone turned on normally.
Thanks for reading and thanks for trying to help me,

Do a fresh install if u havent already , install original stock rom wiping cash partitions, I usually format all partitions even internal memory, this is not a nand erase just formatting all partitions via recovery then flashing via odin . Infact the latest cwm recovery or phills recovery have an option to reset and format phone ready for new rom installs.
Thanks
