Try another video, could be a file problem. If it keeps rebooting, try a factory reset.

Well my friend this is one of the oldest firmware and almost all the issues are already solved with the new firmwares
U connect the phone to Wifi and search for OTA and update
Or connect the phone to PC and check update using kies and see there will be new update
Note once u update the device do reset the device for error free experience
for that go to setting / accounts / back&reset and reset the device
All problem will be solved

Thx my friend
i try it but i get message : the latest update have already been installed
what can i do now

As chainfire clearly stated. 'install on honeycomb, ice cream and jellybean at your own risk'
You have successfully bricked your device.
Get a stock ROM and flash using sptool.

You bricked your phone.
you will need to download stock firmware and flash it VIA Odin
you can download the stock firmware here : sammobile.com
hope i helped you

I thought he says clone? Which probably mtk clone. So Odin will not work

not really, its already "hard" getting solutions for original devices.... :/ unless someone had had your exact same problem and fixed it... I think you should start thinking on getting a new phone

Idk exactly if our phone is spark or legend

Signal lost everytime when enter standby ( screen off ) mode

Dear XDA peoples.
Firstly I ask to humbly excuse my ignorance in these matters, but for a girl who grew up on tinkering with symbian Nokias I am finding the last problem with my S4 quite daunting.
I am hoping some kind soul on here can help me and yes I have spent hours searching for a solution I'm not just being lazy and I do understand the very basics.
I have an Australian delivered S4 i9505 and I took days to reads the forums on how to flash my s4 so I could have ultra power saving mode.
After reading the very helpful forums on these boards I managed to get the latest ECHOE ROM running and its amazing improvement on what I had before !
The only problem is that now everytime I hit the right standby button to go into standby it loses signal completely .
Again after checking the forums they explained that this is a known problem and one of the solutions is to simply force the phone on GSM only.
This does work but is not practical in reality as I need 3G to work for internet and coverage.
The guides also talk about making sure the "LTE" flag is set to true using ROOT explorer and it is.
I have also as the guides suggested loaded my "baseband" modem through ODIN again to no avail.
In the phone about box it displays :

Q: I have poor connection and/or i keep losing connection occasionally when screen shuts. Is there a fix for this?
A: Yes. Flash MJ5 modem in Odin.
Again excuse my ignorance , but could a learned person actually elaborate on the above and it is applicable to my situation ?
Does this mean I need to flash a modem that is not specifically for my model ?
I sincerely apologise in advance if any of the above are moronic questions and a huge hug to all you smart people on this forum.
Bec88

same issue, same questions here ^-^ but using Imperium v14 ROM

It's not a moron question.
You lose the signal because I assume you are still on the old bootloader.
A. You can upgrade the bootloader (just flash a 4.4.2 stock rom), then reflash the custom rom you want.
or
B. You can flash a non-hlos/wifi fix modem (those are for the old bootloader).
Here you have some explanation:

It should work fine. Be aware of:
1. If you're using a custom ROM which has some sort of advanced power menu where you can select Reboot -> Download Mode... choose Power Off instead.
2. Now, press & hold the power, volume down and home button. When you're greeting with an informational screen, press volume up.
3. Connect the USB cable (not to a microwave oven).
4. Start Odin (preferably version 3.04 or 3.07). Make sure all checkboxes on the left hand side of the screen are NOT checked.
5. Select "PHONE" and link to the modem file you want to flash (modem.bin, modem.tar, modem.tar.md5).
6. Once the process is done (wait for the green box to turn green and display PASS), disconnect the USB cable and hold down the power button to reboot the phone.

I assume you are on the old bootloader, because you have an old modem. Thus you never updated to the new bootloader.
Flash a combined package and it should fix it.

All Fixed,
Thanks so much Lennyz & Co, it worked flawlessly.

I have the same exact build number and I managed get my handset stuck in a recovery bootloop. I ODIN back to stock. Back to square one. At least I didn't brick it.

I dont have a g900v, but laat i checked they were in almoat identical boats as the g900a, and last i checked for us, theres no way to root lollipop or downgrade or anything, so the reason you are unable is because you cant.

Thanks. I'll stop trying. It would be insane to fire up ODIN again and flash something older, when they have already patched the stuff. I just wanted 'root', sigh.

Your problem lies where mine does. Depending on the baseband version you have, means that the bootloader may or may not have an exploit available to allow root etc.
For him, the OA8 version allows a root method. As for you, on OC4 as well as the one I have, OG5, is un rootable as far as I know. At least for right now.
If you require, tethering, mobile Hotspot (if you have unlimited data like me), call recording, ad blocking etc. These things are still possible without root on your Verizon s5. I made a post about it a few pages back. However these are the programs I use for those things while we wait for root .
No root is required for these apps to work properly on the Verizon galaxy s5. They all have free trials but a couple require purchase for full functionality. Money well spent imo.
"Call Recorder" by Skvalex - call recording & management ($8
"PDANET" or "FoxFi" (PDANET includes foxfi) - for tethering & wifi Hotspot ($7)
"Block It!" - VPN ad blocking service. (Free but not available on Google play)

This worked for me

Galaxy S5 SCL23 (SM-G900J)

Hello.
I just recently got Galaxy S5 which appears to be only sold in Japan. There's some custom firmware installed on it which prevents Android to be updated. Phone doesn't have SIM locked, so any SIM card can be used.
Because the forum doesn't allow me to post link to a screenshot which shows firmware info I'll just write it down.

I'd like to completely wipe this firmware from the device, replace it with the latest Android version (6.0?) and root it. At first I'd like to know if it's even possible to do any kind of firmware changes on this model and what exactly do I need to perform the update/root.
Thanks.

Doesn't look like there is a 6.0 stock ROM for it, but you can upgrade to 5.0 here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=SCL23
Flash with ODIN (Instructions all over the forum many times)

Okay, instructions on updato seems quite easy to follow so that shouldnt be a problem. Is there any recommended tool for root? I've found a lot of them and I really don't want to mess something up.
PS: How come there's no stock ROM for 6.0 even tho it's been mentioned in some articles that SCL23 model is also supported by Marshmallow update?

Anyone?

Okay, update to 5.0 passed without any issues. There are some default japanese applications on the phone which I cannot uninstall, is it possible to get rid of those somehow?

I have the same device Do you update succeeded or not

I installed Android 6.0.1 and the network was missing help someone Galaxy scl23 or give the firmware 4.4.2 or help to find the GSM network

Go to this link & download 4.4.2 then follow this tutorial.
Make sure to use key input from the options & use capital letters where needed. All being well you will have everything working again.
Make sure not to use any download manager for the download link. File gets about 100kbps so it'll take a few hours but you will get it.
I did the above then rooted the phone & flashed correct TWRP version to it then flashed 5.0 Lollipop SpaceX rom here. Everything working good & no loss of service on reset or reboot.
Hope it helps
