[Q] Flash failing in ODIN

Hello everyone, I have a SCH-R970C from Cricket that I have been trying yo flash with GT-I9505 firmware. I did get it to flash with Omega's rom. The problem is it keeps giving me the error that com.android.phone has stopped. My guess is due to the modem being the stock R970C still. I have been trying to flash this with a GT-I9505 modem and it keeps failing in ODIN. I have tried flashing it to SGH-I337M for Bell SCH-R970C to take it back to stock and nothing seems to work (they all fail in ODIN). Now today i noticed before it fails it says response from bootloader then it fails. Now I am assuming the bootloader is locked. The R970 file i was trying to flash was a US cellular one does anyone have a stock from for a Cricket on as I can't seem to find one. Also would that one flash if it is a bootloader locked. I do have another cricket s4 if there was a way to retrieve complete rom from it. Thanks so much in advance.

Cricket is a CDMA Carrier. You need to stick with CDMA ROMs.

Thank you Craptain Krunch, I was aware that Cricket was CDMA. I was doing research and it appears that the base phone is the same between all carriers with the exception of the I9500 it is the software that determines what carrier it belongs to. I was trying to make it into a world phone and have the capability of using it on CDMA and GSM. Part of the reason of the post was to obtain a Cricket rom so I can flash it back to Cricket and at least make it useable on their network again. I was also wondering if I could copy a flashable rom from my wifes S4. Again thank you for any info given. I greatly appreciate the help.

I'll see if I can find you a stock Cricket ROM, then explore which ROMs may work for you.

I can only find US Cellular:
Model: SCH-R970
Country: USA
Version: Android 4.2.2
Changelist: N/A
Build date: N/A
Product Code: USC
PDA: R970VXUAMDL
CSC: R970USCAMDL
MODEM: R970VXUAMDL

You CANNOT flash an i9505 modem.
I'm assuming this phone has a SIM slot?

You can probably flash custom ROMS for US Cellular
To make it a world phone, you need the SIM card slot unlocked
You can only flash CDMA modems

Yes Sir, it does have a sim card slot but it does not have the regular commands to unlock the sim slot. I contacted Cricket about having it unlocked and I must say they are not very intelligent lol. After about 5 phone calls and escalation I did end up getting a unlock code but no way to put it in. As per the rom I did try to flash a us cellular one from sammobile. I will try this one and get back to you. I greatly appreciate the help as I have been banging my head against the wall on this for a week. Luckily I still have my SII.

With CDMA phones you have to enter a service code containing the unlock code to unlock it, or insert a non-approved SIM and the unlock code prompt will pop up.

I have tried a bunch of tricks, when you insert the non approved sim it does not pop up the unlock window. I then tried:
#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
#0111*UNLOCKCODE#
#7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code

How do I find out. It is an omega rom that is in it right now. As for factory which is what was in it when i tried to unlock it first it was factory cricket. So if i am correct i believe it would have been touchwiz.

Both of those ROMs are TW, and the codes nor the unapproved SIM brought up the prompt on either ROM?

Hello Craptain Krunch. I tried the two options you gave me. The one from prepaids unleashed did go into the phone and then I did the super su update as the site said but it still stayed on the I9505 so it appears the file was just a kernel.

Flash a stock debloated ROM. You may have to install PhoneUtil.apk for the codes to work.

I haven't been able to find a stock Cricket Rom. I can find lots of US Cellular but they don't want to play nice lol. I tried the phoneutil on the GT-I9505 rom wouldn't let it install. If I could get back to stock I will try it. Do you know how to extract a good rom from a working phone? Thanks.

I know how to extract individual partitions.

So I got the phoneutil.apk to run on my wife's phone. It opened the network lock entry window. The code Cricket gave me for her phone did not work but I can work with Cricket on that. Now to figure out how to get a stock version of Cricket software to get mine back to stock. Or download the rom from my wife's phone if anyone knows how to do that out there I would be very greatfull. Thank you very much to Craptain Krunch for all the help.

Ok, so.... I found a stock cricket rom, flashed it and now have my cricket phone back. Woooohooooo. But..... now when I try to connect to wifi it gives me an error "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions and has stopped loading. To protect your device it is recommended you reboot." Rebooted and keeps giving me the error. It for some reason superSU is stilled installed even with new software and a factory reset. Would this cause this error? Thanks.

[Q] Help Please Experts

:crying::crying::crying: I can`t flash my S4 SGH-M919V with odin, i try to flash any firmware lollipop 5.0.1 of GT-I9505 that is the same thing and others firmwares of 4.4.4 of the same model but always send me FAIL abort the operation.
I don`t know why when I put my s4 in odin mode show this information in small letters:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-M919V
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enabled
MMC BURTS MODE: Enabled
One question the last lines maybe is the problem write protection enabled or not? if is yes the problem how i can fix it for flash any firmware on my s4 thanks for your time (if this post is in the wrong section please change thanks again) i hope solutions XDA-Developers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile is where you need to go for issues with your device, as that forum has far more people familiar with your S4. This is the international S4 forum.
Now, regarding Odin, you should be using a recent version of Odin (current is 3.10), the original cable connected directly to the computer, not using a hub, and not have Kies running. You may also need Samsung's drivers if you haven't installed Kies or downloaded them from Samsung, so if you haven't already downloaded them, do so. That said, attempting to flash an I9505 ROM to your device is automatically going to fail. Odin verifies the model number and other parameters in the S4 before it allows a flash to proceed. Naturally, the model numbers don't match and thus flashing the ROM will not work.
Write protection and MMC bursts modes are supposed to be enabled, so you can eliminate that as a concern.

Thanks for your anwer bro but so to try install a firmware of the same model of mine and the same error

Post your Odin log, so we can see where it fails.

Seriously? After telling you that you cannot install an I9505 ROM on your device and explaining why you can't, you're still trying?
YOU CANNOT INSTALL AN I9505 ROM ON A T-MOBILE S4! All attempts to do so will automatically fail. The only stock ROMs that will work on your device are T-Mobile ROMs.
What part of the above do you not understand? Tell me now so I can dumb things down.

i m understand all above OK
this log show with any firmware for the phone or t-mobile firmware men i triying to install stock firmwares for my mobile ok and don`t work of any way but thanks for your time and help :good::good::good: i waiting for more solutions or i read the link than you put above

@LE_17: I apologize for snapping. However I thought I had made it reasonably clear that you could not install an I9505 ROM on your device. Apparently this wasn't the case. In any event, your ROM is here.

that s ok bro no problem
thank s for your time but the link of the firmware that you post i have in my PC downloaded and when i flash it send the same error i dont know why :crying::crying::crying:

You may want to try a different computer completely. Odin is sometimes weird like that. It could also be that the ROM you're currently using may require some steps to get the correct version of Android back on the device, especially if going down from Android 5.x to Android 4.4.4.

You gave him a version for the T-mobile variant. He has a different variant. He has the SGH-M919V. It's really confusing al those different models.
Try to flash the latest version from here.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919V/#firmware
if it fails, try different usb port and different usb cable.

Try using the latest version of Odin (v3.10.6) and see if you can flash the correct firmware for your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Try using a different USB port if its failing again and make sure your USB drivers are up to date

Ok man i try it thanks for your time and answer post the result

If you're trying to flash the official Lollipop update for the S4, use the Canadian version. I tried using the Rogers version (as Videotron uses Rogers' network) from SamMobile and it worked perfectly well. I was even able to change my CSC to Rogers and get the update through Kies.
Disclaimer: If you choose to try this, it is at your own risks. I cannot be held responsible if your phone gets damaged in any way nor can I guarantee the results.

No need for this anymore! The SGHM919V has gotten the Lollipop update this morning.

My note 3 SM-N9005 is also a SM-N900A. NEED HELP

Okay, so i purchased a brand new samsung note 3 sm-n9005 from hong kong, and its been running perfectly,
here are some specs

baseband version = N9005ZHUENF1
kernel version = 3.4.0-722276
built number =KOT49H.N9005ZHUENF1
so far so good, everything seems legit, but then i wanted to upgrade to lollipop so i downloaded the necessary samsung drivers, kies software, odin 3.09,
and the hong kong version of the lollipop 5.0 firmware "N9005ZSUGOC3"
but soon as i click start

and as i was inspecting the error on the oden on my phone, i noticed
the product name on my phone is SM-N900A which makes no sense.
to further examine i went to the recovery and it shows
android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2
now i am really confused as to what phone i have, the box, documentations, and with in the phone settings everything points to n9005. where as oden and "volume down + power + home" menu shows n900a
and
"volume up + power + home" recovery menu also shows n900a.
what should i do to upgrade to lollipop, what phone do i really have?

What does it say under the battery?
Did you buy from a reliable seller or could it be a knock-off phone?
There's an app on Play you could use - Phone INFO Samsung. DL it and run and see what it tells you.

So after a while of trying to flash different roms, turns out, it is a n900a
So after a while of trying to flash different roms, turns out, it is a n900a, it is authentic, its not a fake, everything checks out, but the retailer was from hong kong, and they buy the phones on bulk, so the guy distrubuting the phones, has flashed the n9005 rom on to it,
after flashing the n900a lollipop, the phone has been working as good as it should, i have had no problems whats so ever, it just amazes me as to what lengths people would go to deceive and cheat the customers.
anyways, thank you for your replys, hope you all have an amazing time,
sincerely,
Ali,
PS, boubou is what i called my ex girlfriend, its just an inside joke, and since this phone was just about equally two faced, i gave it a name that would make sense

it is the official android 5.0 lollipop for n900a (atnt). works like a charm, and if you have to, just disable all the atnt apps,
there is no difference other then the fact that it shows a atnt logo on boot.

Bricked 900A or maybe N9005!!?? Help
I do hope someone can help me. I have a bricked note 3 which appears to have been bogus for reasons the same as the above. Recovery mode States SM-
Official
Samsung official
But the sticker on the back shows N9005 and the serial is not recognized by keis.
I rooted it using let it rain and tried to flash a recovery to it which then failed and gave me an att&t warning when turning on. I then tried again to flash stock and it now gets to the Samsung logo and no further. I have never been able to flash anything with Odin due to fail (auth) at various stages. Was trying N9005 stock but having read the above tried 900 A From sammobile which also failed at the same point. Running out of ideas and patience, can anyone help? The attached was taken prior to me doing anything.

G900F is more popular, sells better, falsely label and sell more units, most likely

Im also a G900F owner and I've been in a similiar situation. Download and install Samsung Kies 3(if you hadn't yet), just as the first reply said. On your S5, enter the Download/Odine mode by pressing VolDown+Home+Power Button and connect to PC with your USB. Open Kies 3, go Tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization. In the pop-up windows enter your model name, in your case I suppose its SM-G900F. You'll be asked for the serial number of your phone which is underneath the battery. Its written something like S/N: .... If correct, Kies will start downloading the correct firmware. The process is pretty much automatical, so just wait
After it is done, remove the USB, and the phone will (hopefully) reboot into latest stock version.

Forget stickers and firmware model numbers, they can all be modified to look like a different model, usually G900F
If your phone says G900FD in download mode, then your phone is G900FD, or at least the board is

@*Detection* if it was hardware wise an FD it'd have 2 physical sim card slots, the OP says there is only one. In this case, download mode is wrong.....there's something else going on here. And before the OP does *anything* else I'd advise him to back up his IMEI/EFS folder, I've a feeling it's gonna be *critically important* that he does this......

@ *keithross39* hey sir, please help me on this.... :crying::crying::crying:

There are only three things we can be sure of right now.
1) It's not the FD variant simply because of the lack of a second sim slot.
2) It's not the H variant because the H variant wouldn't run the FD firmware.
3) Your device is ONE of the Qualcom quad core single sim variants.
Now....Here's the tricky part. You say your device has 2 imei numbers.....If you start flashing firmwares that are written to work with a single sim card, one of those IMEI numbers is probably going to get deleted.....If it's the wrong one, you're well and truly stuffed. So you need to find a way to back them up.
Most IMEI/EFS backup utilities require root access.
For now, you're going to have to treat your phone as if it actually *IS* the FD variant and find a root method that works on that variant.
Then once you have root, you can make that all important IMEI/EFS backup.
Once you have that, *then and only then* will it be time to think about how to return the OS to a single sim configuration.
Edit.....
This thread.....

Gives info about rooting. But beware, if you haven't already done so, rooting will trip KNOX which will torpedo any idea of warranty repair.....

This should help with the IMEI/EFS backup.....

1) Yes. That's pretty sure me too.
2) Not a H variant
3) Yes.
As I mentioned first post there's two IMEI numbers. But none of those not similar to sticker under battery compartment. (Not match with any of those)
I have rooted mobile using "CF-Auto-Root-klte-klteduosxx-smg900fd". And it's successfully rooted.
And I did IMEI/EFS backup using "Samsung Tool". Now what should I do as a next step?

First thing to do is copy that backup 'off device'......If you have a removable micro sd card, copy it to that.....If not copy it to your pc or even cloud storage.....it's no good having a backup stored in device if the in device storage is formatted in my next suggestion......which is to flash not only a firmware, but a pit file too. I'd suggest using sammobile or samsung updates for the 900F firmware (the F variant firmware is as good a place to start as any) and the resources of XDA to locate the correct pit file. You can check here for pit files.....
S5 pit files (3rd post)

But as it is now 3.52 AM where I am, I'm going to bed.....My kids will be up in about 4 hours so I need to get *some* sleep.....lol
Final edit for tonight......
As an alternative, you could forget about a firmware entirely, and go the custom rom route......just a thought.....

Never to date have we seen or heard of download mode being wrong, and CF AR for the G900FD just worked for OP
And if it turns out to be wrong, we both have a LOT of threads to edit when we have told other members to always trust download mode
To my knowledge, there is no way to reprogram the chip on the board to change the model number in download mode, maybe the phone is a fake
@ OP - can you post a photo of the back of the phone, with the back cover removed, so we can see the physical location of the SIM slot?
Edit out the IMEI etc if it shows on a sticker
