When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?
When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺

Oh that's good to hear, but what do you mean by flashing the version that was present before I bricked my device? How will I know what version was present before?

Okay, thanks! Well, I have a custom ROM before and it's version is 6 the stock firmware available is 5. What will happen then?
@leosrw It works now but unfortunately I lost my data it asks for a factory reset so yeah they're all gone. Well, no worries, they're not that important anyway. Thanks for your help!

I took the update while being rooted. If you dont save your root, it will remove your root unless you back it up.

This is being discussed in the various update threads. Some swear they were able to update while rooted. However, most note that they lost root after the update. Others, like myself, who have modified ANYTHING after rooting are unable to get the update to run without flashing back to stock.

If I changed build prop can I just change it back and install update. Or do I still have to unroot. Thanks in advance.

Mine failed at 30%.
Turns out I used the mods for tethering. Renaming files allowed it to update.
This is why you NEVER delete those files in the system directory.

No, but updating will remove root access. Just use the same method you used to root in the first place and all will be normal

Not sure about deleting them. I froze a ton of apps in TB, really treading with caution here as without CWM it's going to be PITA to get it going again! This is my work phone and even though I have plenty of other phones that take micro sims I have a lot of special apps I need so doing it (at least during the week LOL) would be a major impediment to me.
If you nix APKs the updater can't find them and aborts. That is what I have read anyway and renaming the original and odex file back worked.
Of course I had to re-root but that was no problem.
I may be stuck with this ROM in the meantime but I positively cannot work without a rooted phone. It would be like riding a motorcycle with square wheels. Ok that may be exaggerating a bit, but you get the idea.

I am unable to run the update as well. I have used ODIN to restore to factory but the update still failed after 30%. I even performed a master reset and wiped all data from the phone. After the reset I ran update and it again failed at 30%. Was hoping someone more senior on the forums would know what the issue may be? I an new to Android, being an iPhone user since the beginning, and cannot figure out why the update is not applying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello people.
I have a problem on my GS4, everytime i want to use the GPS, it can't locate me at all, it says : "searching for GPS signal"
Everything is activated (GPS, Data, Wifi) as it should be.
When i boot my phone, it finds the signal, but it drops it like 5 minutes later and the only way to get it back is to reboot my phone.
Any idea how i can fix this ?
Thanks in advance :victory:

1st : i've tighten up all the screws as seen on this post (yes it was for the GS3 not the GS4 but it was worth a try)

And ya i also can't say exactly what cud have caused bootloop may be some bad files £ apps etc
It won't be under clocking as u did stock flash and was stuck so device was trying to boot in new os u installed
May be something u removed after rooting could have caused boot loop

Hi guys,
I red the whole world about finding a solution for my issue, but didn't find anything that worked. I've got my note 3 n9005 flashed with stock 4.4 and the IMEI is showing null and the Baseband is unknown. I red that the IMEI restoring is done through the EFS folder somehow, but unfortunately I don't have it backed up Didn't find anything about the Baseband as well.
Could you guys help me get my note fixed.

SOLUTION:
After investigating my issues forever I finally found out that my note was a Demo version. The guy that sold it to me lied about it, but anyway I returned it to him.
You can check if yours is a demo when disassemble it. You need to be looking for an antenna (it's a long wire coming from the back-right-bottom of the phone, going to the top of it). Unfortunately I deleted my photos showing where the antenna is, but you could search in google. If there is no such wire, your unit is most probably a demo phone.

You must read and learn what causes issues before you try to resolve them, If you don't it can cause all sorts of issues.

So I found an image from this guy, wrote it to an 32GB mem card with Win32DiskImager, put the card in the phone, put the battery, pressed the power button (also tried all combinations) .. and guess what ... the phone doesn't wake up. Nothing happens ;(
Any other suggestions you could help with, guys?
All help will be highly appreciated!

How old was the image you used? I know there are problems reverting bootloaders from 4.4 back to 4.3.
Have someone make you a fresh image using a 4.4 stock Rom.

Also, there is a fix for the gt-i9500 (s4) here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20131127193348AAghmtX
Try and find out who made that and see what they did to fix it so you can make one of your own.

I don't know how old it is, but yes, I suppose it comes from 4.3
How is the unbrick image made (windows way), so I would tell someone to do it for me?
Thanks.

That's for the first issue I had. I think I will need to first wake up the device and then hopefully will move forward.

Anyway while waiting, do you think there is a way of flashing the SD card itself with the required files from an original or custom rom.
I mean, if I unzip the rom, will I find the files that I need there?
This might be a stupid question, but might be worth asking it.
There is a t-flash method, but we tried it and it didn't work over in the t mobile section. The problem being is you have to use a working phone to do so, and it is always a risk to the other party.

you'll have to bite the bullet and do what I had to do a few days ago and get it done properly via a phone repair shop

Hi man. People keeps telling you to install new modem, kernel etc...but i think you have corrupted EFS folder.
I hope you backup your EFS folder before flashing ANY rom because, otherwise you will have to go to some repair shop.
Well, I don't understand a lot, but I think you could check if you didn't lost your IMEI. Go on Settings > About Device > Status and check if your IMEI still there.
If it is, I don't know what could be. You could try flash another modem or restore a backup (if you have one) with PhilZ Touch but if it isn't, that means you lost your IMEI. I remember I read about that somewhere, that there is a risk of losing IMEI when you flash a lot of ROMs.
If you have backup from your IMEI, just restore it. If you don't, I don't know what you could do, but I guess you could still do something.
One more thing: Wi-Fi works?
Like I said, I don't understand a lot, so everything I just said may be very stupid. Or not. Sorry for bad english.

My imei and everything is in place, I tried flashing stock rom, custom rom, factory reset phone, tried almost every modem there is and still no luck, but the thing with mine is when I go into the town area I get a few signal bars certain area in town, very weird, what could really be the problem, I know it's not my network or my Sim card so what could it be
Did u ever solve ur problem? Still having this problem
Hey rumbo76 hru, this same problem happened with my brother with note 3, but in here india, he did tha root and falsh tha rom, then he lost root, then he goes bak to stoke firmware so he lost hus signal, and IMEI shows UNKNOWN no network registered, but he search his original firmware n falsh, and he got network n imei number bak, so plzz read n search ur specific device model number n flash, you will be succeed sure.. Plzz update us... Thnks... ?
