[Q] N9005 revert to stock rom

Cheers!
I recently flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my N9005. The thing is i'm not happy with it and i want to revert back to a stock rom. So what i was wondering is if i have to revert to the exact old version (4.3) or i could flash a stock KitKat firmware from SamMobile and how can i do that? I read a thread where a guy bricked his phone when trying with cwm cause he had some files missing. I know most users are sick of noobs like me asking this kind of questions but i would much appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks

The above method is for bringing the phone to factory stock. If you just want to revert back to a samsung rom and your phone is rooted with custom recovery, which I presume it is, you can just flash a samsung rom of your choice there are plenty to choose from and every rom thread have instructions how to flash their rom
Hope this helps, all the best.

So, like yesterday, Odin fails on me. At the very end. When the green loading bar is full and it seems like it's going to succeed, the last line says failed. The phone has CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and CF AutoRoot. Any ideeas?

ok that NB7 is failing on me as well for some reason, but in the mean time to get your phone back on line download NB4 (link below) and flash using odin 3.07, thats what I did and got no errors phone booted with no problems, if it takes too long to boot after flashing or goes in a boot loop enter recovery mode (home+power+vol up) and do data/factory reset and clear cache but that will wipe the internal storage, hope this will work

Another thing is your phone a 16GB model ?, or is it 32 or 64GB, cheers.

It's actually 32GB. I'm just after realizing. Would that be the reason why it's not working?

No problem ur welcome, I am glad your phone is back online mate and I hope it stays that way , all the best, tc

[Q] S4 Soft Brick

Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!

It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

I am trying to flash NAE tar and have tried the NG2. Both result in the errors mentioned above.
I also have gone into stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.

have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I got philz custom recovery finally, and was able to flash NG2 pre-rooted, but the baseband version is old and wifi/data isn't working. I'm trying to flash the NG2 Modem.tar under the phone tab in odin, but i receive fail auth still and secure check fail: apnhlos.
I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?

Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.

I see that md5 looks ok. It might either be the pit or the file. Um how you tryed it with kies or another firmware?

I will us it until the new debloated version, thanks!

From what I heard and samsung updates history, the new roms come in 90to120 days. So thats a couple months. Expect it come somewhere in early 2015. This may not be right but its gonna be a while. Ill post an update when Andriod L comes.

So no news out, just the typical Samsung update history, OK

Anyway about twrp backups, I have my own twrp backup.idk if it will work or if you can use it for restoring. It shouldnt have any data on it and is prerooted. But the hosts file is broken and needs to be delted manually. So you cant signin into google applications/stuff on setting up your tablet. But WIFI does work and surfing the web with internet browser works also! All you would need to do is download root explorer then go to etc, and scroll down, and delete the hosts file/or edit it to 8.8.8.8 nameserver and reboot to fix it. It will not break wifi and if deleted, it will generate a working one. I may upload it if I got alot of request for it. And I will also need a person to fix the hosts file with my fix, and upload it somewhere so i can post it.

the T805 LTE need some love too lol

Hi there
I am in Saudi Arabia , I pre-ordered the device and I get that version SM-G925i.
Since that time I was upset because I was waiting for the international one , you know most developments are going to the international one.
My question is , are we going to get support and development for ours ( ROMS,MODS..etc.) ?
thanks in advance.

I was thinking about developing my own rom. I was gonna wait though. Im a bit of a perfectionist and i dont really have the time to dedicate what would be needed to fulfil the project

Bricked Device

Hey Guys,
i have a Samsung Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and i stayed a long time with Slimkat ROM which was 4.4.4, so i wanted to flash the offical stock rom 4.4.2 via odin and it says failed and when i start my phone it says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. The bootloader calls:
Product Name: GT-I9505
Current Binary: Samsung offical
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
eMC Burst Mode: Enable
Is it maybe knox blocked the downgrade? Should i flash the offical Lollipop firmware or what?
so could someone please help im so mad and frustrated.

It could be that the ROM you are trying to flash has bootloader that is older than the ROM currently on the phone. You could try flashing the latest ROM as the latest ROM would have a bootloader, modem, etc. that is the same or newer that the bootloader currently on the phone.

So should i flash the latest stock rom?

Here's a test:
download the latest Odin-flashable TWRP for your phone;
open Odin and uncheck everything except f.reset time;
connect the phone and flash TWRP;
when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove battery, replace battery;
use button combination to try and boot into recovery.
If you can boot into recovery, flash a CM ROM, install Samsung Phone Info app from the play store. This app will confirm the modem and bootloader on the phone.

If TWRP works, you can use it to flash any custom ROM that is designed for your phone.

This TWRP is for the i9505 International s4 with qualcomm processor: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/twrp-2.8.6.0-jfltexx.tar.html
The latest tar version is 2.8.6.0. There is a 2.8.7.0 version but it is in an img format. You can use cygwin to convert the file from img to tar for flashing in Odin.
I recommend TWRP as many ROMs require it as the recovery program.
