Hmm, it looks like a software/firmware issue, but if you have already used a PIT file and flashed a stock ROM, that's unlikely
Do you have a MicroSD card installed? Maybe try removing that and see if it still happens
If you are still under warranty, and KNOX is 0x0, I'd send it back for repair if all that fails
If KNOX is 0x1, or out of warranty, give TWRP 2.8.7.0 a flash with ODIN, and try flashing a custom ROM, see if that sorts it
If it's still doing it with custom, then all that's left is a hardware fault

maybe i missed something can you please give me link of tutorial how to flash firmware
i flashed firmware from sammobile,com using odin Ap selection in odin 3.10 file size is more than 2gb of rom that i flashed did i miss something in this process?? after install i also factory reset and mobile is not in warrenty and i donot want to trip knox as i use knox app

That's the right way to flash firmware, ODIN and ROM from sammobile, and if you used a PIT file, that is the most thorough method
You should have had a 100% like new, factory reset phone once it was finished if you used a PIT file
Not much good having 0x0 KNOX if you can't use the phone though

After flashing the stock firmware through Odin, you must perform a full wipe via the stock recovery. See if it solves the problem.

[Q] messed up good this time

hi all. need help
i've been playing with different roms for couple of years now on different phones and did not have any problems.
till now that is ....
i have installed Omega 21.1, but from time to time phone would lose gsm data connection so i decided to flash something else.
installed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition and it was good.
for some, God knows what reason, wanted to try Omega19 (4.3). installed fine but sound was broken. when ever phone used any kind of sound it would start flashing or would freeze or something. Flasing any other rom did not help. and for some reason it does not let me change modem with odin.
Last modem i have installed is XXUEMJ5.
tried to do restore using [GUIDE] Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505 but Odin would fail with Auth error
tried with Odin 3.47, and 3.07
now i still can install rom but stops in logo loop. tried both Omega and google edition.
pls help

Hi,
Once you have installed a TW 4.4.2 ROM , it installs the latest knox bootloader.
At that point , you cannot downgrade your firmware.
You said you installed [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition and it was good.
Your best bet is to re-install that.
As for the modem , there is a technique which you have to try:
Look HERE
That should help.
BTW , I edited your title
thx. will try that and report back.
nope, still stuck @ logo loop
not sure what more combination to test
tried Omega 21.1 with
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5 and
Modems -> CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
but now it does not get to the logo. shows samsung logo and than screen goes blank.

Try to reFlash those Files with Odin then Boot into TWRP mode and Do a full wipe and Install Omega (Inside Omega file there's Fullwipe , Click that and Setup the apps you need) then reboot .Make sure that You have a TWRP recovery^

Hi,
You said you tried the [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition ,and it worked .
So I figured to try and re-install that one.
The other thing you must do between flashing different ROMS is a full wipe (Cache and data)
yes. that was first thing i tested. at best i get the logo loop.
and yes, i do full data wipe before and after reinstallation of the new rom.
cache wipe only whe requested but in this case done that to.
is there a way to see a boot log or something to see where and why booting stops?

The best thing you can do is flash the entire 4.4.2 stock rom via odin.And start from scratch(Recovery/Custom rom) Since you already flashed the newestbootloader (from OMEGA file) .This mean your knox is now triggered and your warranty is now void 0x01.

Hi,
Perhaps you should try to find the latest test stock 4.4.2 firmware ( I9505XXUFNA1) and flash it in odin.
Wipe data and cache before and after flashing.
And then wait for the official update.
At least you should have a phone you can use.
following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
i've found that there is 4.3 stock image I9505XXUEMKF. downloaded it and tried to install but that did not work.
now this is a noob question but is there a speciffic bootloader, modem or something else i need to flash before flashing this image?
or should i search for 4.4.2 version?
thx
flashing stock 4.3 on current bootloader/modem combination gives me Fail from Odin and Sw. Rev. Check Fail error on the phone.

I believe malybru already answer that for you .Thread and Stop experimenting with your Phone because there's a chance that you might bricked your Device or end up with no IMEI.. and Your asking for help/Solution mate so follow their instruction . If not feel free to send your Phone to customer Service for repair.( and Be aware that your warranty is already voided unless your Country is part of EU so Rooting and Flashing don't void your warranty)

So what you mean that if you leave in a country that is part of EU, It doesn't matter if KNOX is triggered? (I life in Holland btw)

Click the link on EU mate . And start reading even my provider said that if the knox is already triggered, My phone still have warranty for 2 years as long its a hardware/system problem. But if i break the glass on my phone and such then i dont have any warranty for that..and must pay them for a repair.

ah, my bad. for some reason i was reading 4.4.2 as 4.2.2
i did follow all other instructions, and i thank you all for them, but still not sure where to go from here.
i know i should stick to 4.4.2 firmware but need to check somehow if bootloader/modem combination that i've install is actually installed.

If you already flash the Bootloader from Omega then you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 stock , that's why your Getting Fail (Auth) in Odin Flash the 4.4.2 stock Leak rom for now then if you consider flashing a Custom Rom then ,flash the philz recovery 6.09.2 or TWRP (Dont forget to Nandroid backup EFS and such and then DO A CLEAN WIPE by Wiping cache, dalvik cache data and system) and From recovery flash any Custom rom you like. (no need to root your phone, Your phone will be rooted after flashing any custom rom . So goodluck

[Q] WiFi not working after update via Kies from 4.3. to 4.4.2

Hi there,
i have a rooted S4 i9505 with cwm installed.

hmm - shouldn't really be a problem if you flashed stock, but broken wifi is a symptom reported when flashing old modem on new bootloader, if you have new stock sammy 4.4 then you will surely have new bootloader (check though by putting your phone into download mode and then check for KNOX references - if you got them you got new bootloader, if no then you are on the old one)
Click on the link in my sig for modem - that will take you to a thread that has all the newest modems - have a look through the most recent last 3-4 pages and you will find packages for modems for new bootloader, flash one of these and see what happens - BTW you need to flash in odin with 'reboot' unchecked, then when its finished power off your phone manually then put back into download mode and flash again, then repeat the procedure but this time tick 'reboot' and that should be done. BTW - the tar file goes into 'phone' not csc. You may need to unzip the modem package to get the tar file.
Let us know how you got on

you are on the new bootloader so you can flash the complete package - it has everything in it all in one package! - you won't brick your phone even if you flash the wrong modem, that is unless you did some thing real dumb like flash i9500 modem and even then I think its recoverable not that I suggest you try!!
depends where you are in the world - I used NB8 and it worked well for me in the UK - I'm on NB9 now and that seems nice also.
so to be clear flash this:
Combined package
For NewBootloader
GSM_Modem_XXUFNB8_and_LTE_Modem_XXUFNB8

hey guys, thank you!!!
the Wi-Fi is working again.
Nonetheless i still have one problem remaining, which i thought it would have been fixed as well.
but, when GPS is turned on, it tries to find the GPS position and the icon on the status bar continues appearing and disappearing permanently (every half of a second).
Beside the fact that it is really annoying having this icon flashing all the time it also causes the display to freeze.
Especially when scrolling from top to the bottom to open the notification area.
It sometimes also lets the system crush completely.
any idea what this could be?
thanks for your effort so far.

hmmm......... thats not right!
Suggest you find a stock sammy ROM and flash anew in odin - then root using cf root, then flash recovery - (TWRP is very good :good then go into recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, system and data - reboot and see what happens on nice new shiny sammy stock - if all is good pick the ROM/kernel you want (if you want) and go back to odin to reflash modem.
The only other thing I can think is that you have an app that is messing with gps?? Do the above though and you should be golden :good:
EDIT: don't wipe system unless you planning flashing a different ROM through recovery!

Hi, right way to flash the stock Samsung package, but after flashing a custom recovery, do not wipe system. There's no ROM after that so phone will not boot. And the newest modem is integrated in the stock package, so no need to flash it again.
And another advice: NEVER use Kies to update your phone. It has bricked 3 of mines.:cyclops:

Oops, well spotted! Yes, don't wipe system unless you have another ROM to flash through recovery. 3 phones bricked from kies huh? I never used it SVD don't think I ever will lol. Good old Sammy stock stuff, tbh that's why I steer well clear of anything stock Sammy unless absolutely necessary and last resort - I look at the farce they have made by forcing us to accept Knox pox!

my thought was to go into recovery mode and wipe everything and start from beginning in order to exclude that it could depends on some wrong settings or any software already installed....
I updated to 4.4.2 using Mobile Odin and my wifi was borked too.
I did notice after the update that there was a mismatch between my Baseband version (still the old 4.3 XXUEMKE) and the Build number XXUFNB8, and I recall seeing some message during the flashing process that security had blocked the kernel update and Triangle Away might help solve it.
I therefore ran Triangle Away to reset my flash counter, and then used Mobile Odin to have a second go at flashing just the Kernel, Recovery and Modem parts.
This was successful and I now have matching Baseband and Build, both XXUFNB8.
And my wifi now works again...
ok.. after making a factory reset wifi and gps are working fine again.
guess there was some missconfigured third party app...
but now, with a fresh system i do not understand why i am not able to assign a PIN for my lockscreen...
everything is greyed out except PIN and Password.
but even though setting up a PIN, the screen lock is always set to use Swipe......
damn, i shouldnt have updated to 4.4.2.... until now.. only problems with this new build....

Erm....why was you changing the modem in the first place? In the firmware package you should have 3 .tar files. One for system, one for CSC, one for modem. If you dont, try finding a software package that has all these individual files as opposed to just flashing the pda file. In future, try not to mess about with stuff unless you know how to fix it buddy otherwise you'll just end up in the situation you're in now. If what i suggested above doesnt work....a trip to the service centre might be your only option, if knox has been triggered, they might not repair it. Be prepared for disappointment.

Reboot and wipe cache and dalvik cache

(Help) Note 4 bricked, unable to mount data

Hi guys, i have some big problems with my n910f, tried to upload a pic to facebook and my phone crashed.
It simply does nothing, not booting, not charging, download and stock recovery are working.
I tried everything possible>
*flashed 3 different stock firmwares with odin
*tried a pit file repartion in odin
*wiped cache, did a few factory resets from stock revovery
*bought a new battery
*tried to root and flash a custom recovery but doesnt work
It is simply as bricked as it could be, the only information about this i have is stock recovery telling me unable to mount /data
So it seems my filesystem got corrupted as hell
The question is, how do i repair it?
Like i said pit file and bootloader flash did nothing, odin lets me flash everything without an error but it doesnt help.
I assume i could somehow repair it with adb fastboot but how?
Any help is welcome!

It may or may not help but I would sure try Kies. You NSFW get done errors like Kies telling you is not compatible bit but I would try the firmware initialization.

Well i forgot to mention that i tried kies aswell, everyhting went good but didnt help, still nothing.
It confuses me a bit that it doesnt even charge, could a broken filesystem lead to this?

I am not sure what parts of the system need to be working for the battery to be able to charge. Good luck.

did try root=> costum recovery for your variant => installing costum roms for your variant (all can be done with odin +sd card and some fils on it) but warranty is lost it may worth the try
did you try the 5 flashing fils(pit pda bl csc phone) to initial stocks with odin

i have the same problem, do you know where can we find the complete 5 files (pit pda bl csc phone) for flashing with odin?
its the only thing i haven't already tried.
I manage to fix the issue with storage partition, i used a pit file and the one file firmware in csc button, that made the hole data partition rewriten again so the phone is able to boot properly.
Hope you gays this may help.
Happy new year!!

SM-G900F Downgrade problem

hello everyone
3 days ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F and the pre-installed OS was Android 5.0 Lollipop
I wanted to downgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 but when I flashed the 4.4.2 firmware at the end of The Flash the phone Rebooted but but there was nothing on the screen and the phone was stuck on a boot loop so I reflashed the lollipop firmware and everything worked
The question is it possible to downgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 knowing that the preinstalled firmware was Android lollipop 5.0 for rooting purposes to keep knox 0x0
thank you very much
The problem with using Odin to downgrade is that it doesn't fully erase what was on there before, it just overwrites it......
Did you try to wipe data in recovery after the flash? Sometimes this is all that is needed.
If you did, and it didn't help, then it may be necessary to flash a pit file at the same time as the firmware.
Before you flash anything with Odin, go to download mode to double check which model you have.....There have been a number of cases recently where devices have been 'rebadged' so that what is displayed on the sticker under the battery does not match what is displayed in download mode (download mode is correct).......

yes it does show SM-G900F in download mode
where can I find a pit file
and just for info when I flashed the 4.4.2 firmware there was nothing on the screen even in download mode I could enter it because the keys combination is well known
You can get the pit file in post 3 here....

Is there any risk on flashing the pit file
I just want to know before I proceed
Thank you very much for your help
There's a risk to any flash, but as long as your device matches the pit file you flash, you should be ok.....having said that, flashing a pit file carries a potentially greater risk than flashing a firmware/rom as it 're-maps' the data partitions.....In the case of a pit flash, if the flash is interrupted because of a power cut off or a premature device disconnection, the phone will be absolutely irrecoverably bricked......

the problem now is that when I flash kitkat 4.4.2 the phone does boot up but there is absolutly nothing on the screen
Do you have any idea?
thanks for all the help
When I downgraded from LP to KK, the first attempt was unsuccessful, the phone wouldn't boot at all
I did nothing else apart from flash it again exactly the same way, the next boot was fine and I was back on KK
You might need to factory reset after flashing, it's possible some apps are causing problems with the boot if they are not compatible from LP > KK

how can I do a factory reset without seeing anything on the screen?
the screen is completly black in all situations : normal boot - download mode - recovery mode

Factory reset first then
But if the screen is just black, not even the initial logo, then something else is wrong
Why flash KK anyway, there is a MM stock ROM port available for the G900F now

I know but I wanted to root the phone possibly without tripping KNOX
If I do trip knox what would I louse aside from warrenty?

Nothing, I tripped mine ages back, everything still works
I read it might affect joining enterprise networks/domains, but never tried and don't use them
Try a different KK ROM, I assume you're trying the latest version atm?
It *might* affect OTA.....Some people say it does, others say it doesn't.....
But knox's main function is to prevent insecure devices from connecting to secure 'enterprise' business servers/networks.....basically if your employer expects you to be able to bring your device to work, and connect it as a business tool, you will no longer be able to do so.....*and* if the device was supplied by your employer, you could end up in all sorts of s**t with them too.....

Doesn't affect OTA, only custom (Root/Recovery) breaks OTA
Anyone saying tripped KNOX breaks OTA hasn't flashed back to 100% stock before trying to update OTA, unrooting doesn't reverse the custom status
Thank you very much for your help
I gave up I installed TWRP and flashed a custom rom
I couldn't resist any longer
I don't care about KNOX nor the warrenty anymore
Poeple are very kind in this forum
much appreciated for all your effort
Curious, why were you trying to downgrade to KK when Android 6 is available for g900f? I downgraded once myself (without pit file) to KK early on when LP was new, but Android 6 is a nice improvement over both imo. KK4.4.2 still has security issues, namely stagefright. If you're happy with custom rom, so be it, just curious if you were (or not) aware of Android 6 availability for your device, incl debloated, stock based knox-free ROMs.
