No imei

I updated my galaxy s4 i9500 to 5.0.1 using odin. My phone was working well when I saw that i am having no more root access So i rooted my device. But rooting on 5.0.1 was no use. Most of the application's were not compatible with 5.0.1. So i flashed xposed framework and was dumb enough to read the full instructions. After flashing my phone was soft brick. So i went to the forum again and saw the instructions that thr version is not for Touchwiz. So i glashed cm11 and it worked my phone was working again but i noticed that it's been a while and my network signals are not appearing. I thought that the zip file would be corrupted so i flashed ozcan rom. But no success. Then i opened my settings and saw that imei was "Null/Null". And lastly /device/data folder is empty. Would be great if anyone will help.

1. Flash again the lollipop version.
2. Then root it using cf root.
3. Problem solved
ps maybe you should also do a factory reset, but backup first.

[Q] how to update to lollipop with odin on locked bootloader S5

Hello Everybody
i bought an s5 on eBay with locked bootloader, it has no logo or carrier ,i have downloaded the compatible lollipop firmware from samfirware,now i am worried that if i flash it via odin than would i be able to boot normally with new bootloader?
can someone help me how exactly should i do?
plz help me friends.

Bootloader will be updated also if you'd flash a full and original Rom. I also updated that way with the first Rom for poland.
If your S5 is in the original status you're lucky. If youre rooted you'll loose root.
Just be sure to flash the right one for your model! Otherwise you might have a bricked device.
1. Download the Rom from Samfirmware/Samdownloads
2. Download Odin (3.09 or higher)
3. be sure the Samsung USB-drivers are installed on your computer
4. open Odin and bring your phone into download mode (vol- & Home & power)
5. Connect your phone via USB to your computer and be sure Odin shows up your phone as "ADDED"
6. Select the extracted file (your-rom.tar.md5) as AP
7. select ONLY "f. time reset" and "reboot after download" with marks.
8. Start the flashing process and wait till "succeed!" appears (there will be a "reset" before)
9. you can disconnect your phone now and enjoy Lollipop
I am not responsible for any bricks or fails of your phone. Flashing is ALWAYS on your own risk!
If unsure, search for a detailed Tutorial in the forum for flashing and updating to Lollipop.
Best regards!

thank you for your help my friend,
will i get the same locked bootloader after flashing?
and what about stock recovery?
i mean will i be able to go in to reccovery mode?

What you will do is an update.
Everything will be at stock if it was before!
You're doing a official update and the Knox counter will stay at 0x0.
The bootloader will be stock (locked), the recovery will be stock and accessable.
This will be a S5 as you buy it in the store, just with Lollipop inside. ☺
I hope you told me everything about your phone. If it's not completely stock sth's might be different in flashing process!!
If you bought a non edited (no flash, no root) S5 everything should be fine. The bootloader is always locked.

I never did this with my S5. But I think the only think that could happen is, that the recovery will be overwritten when it's updated.
How can u are knoxed 0x0 with a custom recovery?

Not a cool thing! Cause it cant write into recovery, kernel and CSC partitions. You need compatible Roms for this. I dont like it.
I think u can do your flash.

My phone totally fackdup HELP

Hello people,
So here is what i have done :
Galaxy S5 stock > Rooted > Recovery installed > Omega ROM V16 Android 5.0 installed worked fine >(problem started here) I wanted to install Wanam for my phone, so i flashed the .zip into recovery then i experienced a boot loop, so i wiped & clean for a new room & re-install Omega ROM V17, then the phone work well.
So, then i wanted to install Omega ROM V13 (android 4.4), so my phone is now stuck on Samsung Galaxy S5 nothing happend..
I testing manything :
- Re-install rom with FULL WIPE
- WIPE ALL & Install STOCK ROM via Odin
- WIPE ALL > Root > Recovery > Stock rom via Odin
- WIPE ALL > Stock Rom via Odin
- WIPE ALL > Root > Recovery > Omega V17
- WIPE ALL > Root > Recovery > Omega V13
Almost 4 hours im on the problem ..
EDIT: I'm actually download the latest android 5.0 stock rom, i will try to install her via Odin and tell you what happend.. i'm terribly sad at this moment did i killed my phone ?..
Any idea please ?
Thanks !

If you are on 5.0 firmware and trying to flash a pre-5.0 rom it will not work. Unless I misunderstand your post, you need to Odin a 4.4 tar in order to be on the correct bootloader.

No need to leave battery out for 3 hours.
Just full wipe before downgrade -> turn off -> battery out for 30s ->boot do download mode ->flash kitkat via ODIN.

Yeah know that, i just leave it while i'm worked this morning ^^
That worked for 5.0, i'm testing right now with KitKat.

Okay, got problem, when i install stock KitKat room, my phone keep rebooting in Samsung logo, even if wipe all..
SOLVED: All you need to do, wipe data + cache, go into download mode, load up your stock rom & make sure to check the case "Update Bootloader" in Odin.

[Q] Flashing to a UK EE I9505

Hi,
Firstly, phone details are below. Let me know if you need any more.
Phone: Galaxy S4 I9505
Carrier: EE (Unsure if locked, don't know how to check this?)
Country: UK
Current Recovery: Samsung Stock
Current OS: 4.4.2 KitKat
Baseband: I9505XXUGNI2
I have some questions about flashing TWRP and Lollipop to my Galaxy S4.
If I flash TWRP recovery to my phone, am I able to revert back to Samsung stock recovery? Could you please provide some evidence such as a link to a guide?
Next; I have been having some random rebooting problems since I did a firmware upgrade. (This was only a small update, possibly from the carrier? The android version has not changed).
I was hoping to resolve this by installing Lollipop as I would also like the latest features. When I attempt an update through OTA or Kies, it says my phone is up to date. Would I be able to flash Lollipop to my phone even though I (think) the phone is locked to EE and when I check for updates it says that their are none.
I have included a description of the ROM I intend to flash. It can be found on Sam Mobile but I cant yet post links! Note that it doesn't specifically say it supports EE.
Model GT-I9505
Model name GALAXY S4 LTE
Country United Kingdom
Version Android 5.0.1
Changelist 3996895
Build date Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:44:46 +0000
Product code BTU
PDA I9505XXUHOB7
CSC I9505BTUHOB4
Also, when I flashed KitKat to the phone, the wifi wouldn't turn on and I had to flash something extra to make it work. Any advice on this if it happens again?
Hope you can help, thanks!

1. You are wrong in one thing. You can find all the info for your device: HERE. Your device didn't update to Lollipop coz you are using the latest firmware. You can follow the next steps for fix the wifi of your device.
2. Backup your internal data to your pc.
3. Download the latest firmware: HERE.
4. Unzip it and flash it via ODIN unticking "autoreboot". Take out the battery when the process finish. Pull in again and boot your device in STOCK RECOVERY -> Wipe data/Factory reset and wipe cache partition then.
5. Reboot normally and, in theory, you have to have wifi. Dial *#1234# and add one screenshot if not.

I am not wrong. As stated, Samsung has provided and deployed Lollipop 5.0.1 across the UK on the Galaxy S4 I9505. EE however, has not sent out the update to their customers. My question is that would I be able to flash the Samsung stock firmware (for unlocked phones) on my EE device without issues?
I do not currently have a WiFi problem. I resolved it a year ago after I flashed 4.4.2 to the phone. I simply can't recall how I solved it and would like some advise in case it happened again.

-help- SM-N910f with SM-N910p bootloader

Hello every one
I have bought a Note 4 " SM-N910f " from ebay and when I tried to root it ,I have found that the version of the bootloader belong to another Note 4 (910p).
about device
Model Num: SM-N910F
Android Ver: 5.1.1
Baseband V: N910FXXU1COH4
Build Num: DONGCHAO.A929
CpuZ
model : Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F)
Bootloader :N910PVPU4COG5
Kernel Ver: 3.10.40-5303209(N910PVPU4COG5)
Build Num: DONGCHAO.A929
Odin mode
product name : SM-N910P
current binary: samsung officiel
system status : officiel
reactivation lock off
Knox warranty void : 0x0
the ticket on the back also show the same thing as ''About device''
but when I cheket my IMEI in ""imei.info"" it tell me that my phone is a galaxy s6 edge !!!!
the same IMEI in both (back ticket & software (#*06#))
so what should I do?
because I can't root neither flash a new firmware
Can I relace the bootloader by the one of N910f ?
(I have only try to flash the firmware of N910f ,I did not try n910p firmware's because I am afraid if I succeed I'll finish with locked network phone)
thanks a lot

have same problem. did you succeed to resolve the issue?

I realised that someone has been changing "Sprint Note 4" to look like the international version.
so I decide to install the latest stock rom ( downloaded from sammobile)
Now I am so glad because I didn't get any problem.
I don't Know how but a Note 4(n910c) IMEI was restored not an IMEI of n910p according to "Imei.info"
Hotspot and Network unlocked including LTE

Hi, I am having the same problem as you.
Can you please give me the rom that you used? And which odin version did you use?
thanks.

what version is the modem? when the moden is from n910p too then its a n910p spoofed as n910f. that can be done by changing backcover and mount a sim reader and it works like n910f. so you have a n910p mainboard in it with changed imei with jtag box

Do this only if your bootloader is a N910P**** (Use CPU-Z to check it, you can download it from the market)
You must have a least 60%
You should remove your SIM card
I've used the latest rom from this link.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/60440/N910PVPU4COJ6_N910PSPT4COJ6_SPR/
I assume that you've already installed Samsung driver
and that you have the latest version of odin v3.10.7 and that you're familiar on how to use it
but before you proceed you have to :
1- Instal a custom recovery (Twrp)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/tool-utility-twrp-2-8-1-0-teamwin-t2915591
2- boot into TWRP
3-in advanced wipe dalvik cache
4-wipe data/factory reset
5-Format /cache
6-Format /system
7-Format /Data
8-go to advanced and reboot to download mode
9-flash the downloaded rom
wait (10-15min) until your device come to world
Now you have a fresh and clean note 4
10-check your IMEI (*#06#) in http://www.imei.info/
11-restrict data and wifi usage for the following app
Sprint ID
Mobile Installer
Sprint Zone
MyScript Resource Manager
12-Update Your System (settings > System Update > Update Now)
Because this is not the latest build You should upgrade to N910PVPS4COK1 (150mo)
to correct some issue with Google Play Store and other things
13- Update you Play Store and Google Services thru the Store
14- shutdown your device when finished
15-insert your SIM and wake up your Note 4
16-you should root it to profit
(remove unwanted sprint apps it's recommended check the forum to find them out -Use Titanium Backup pro #1 )
enjoy and wait for the Marshmallow =)

Hi.
So how to I get the phone to work? It is in a bootloop when switched on and I cannot go into recovery mode since the phone restarts itself when I try to do so. However I have access to download mode.
Also how do I check the version of the modem?

hello, how do I make sure if my bootloader is a N910P? I cannot download CPU-Z on the phone since the phone is in a bootloop and not switching on.
Before I had the problem, it was written SM-N910F in the about device of the phone. In download mode, it is written N910p and at the back of the phone it is written Sm-N915F.

If you can access the download mode, you simply flash the custom recovery and follow the instructions

you can get it working by flashing n910p rom with odin (download it from sammobile) after that i can say you how to get it again full working with a n910f rom so that you dont have anymore any sprint apps on it

after flashing sprint odin rom install twrp recovery fot it. after that download any rom for n910f and flash it with twrp and then flash a kernel for n910p and it will boot without sprint apks. so you have now n910f rom an no more sprint things
