[Q]HELP Samsung S4 not starting

Hi guys,
First thanks for all your help in advance.
My mobile yesterday started to give me error "Not registered on the network" every time I tried to do a phone call. After google-it apparently this is a common problem on the Samsung devices and following a tutorial on the link bellow I was able to root my mobile phone without any problem and following the tutorial on idroidspace I was able to try all the solutions as suggested
As a first option they told me to try using ARIZA patch, but when I ran it says that my model is not compatible. As second option they advice me to flash my modem, I have follow all the instructions but didn't work as well, I was still receiving the error when I tried to do a phone call.
Today I was looking to find the stock firmware (ROM) for my Samsung thinking that a reinstallation could work to solve the error, but after I installed the Kernel file using ODIN v3.07 my mobile is now saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and after that is not showing any image on the screen
I'm trying to turn my mobile using recovery mode but the same message shows up and the mobile is not turning on...I'm only able to turn the mobile on using the download mode...and ODIN is still detecting it
My Mobile is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 XXUBMEA unlocked to all the networks from UK
Can you guys please help me? I probably have destroyed the phone already and seek for help to late. But can you guys help me?
Thanks

You need to go to http://www.SamMobile.com and download the newest official stock
i9505 Odin flash firmware/rom and flash it.
Here is the firmware you need:
GT-I9505 United Kingdom (EE) 2013 November 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ8 I9505EVREMJ2
This is the latest official stock samsung jellybean 4.3 firmware for your phone.
This is the stock official firmware for your country and for your phone so it's NOT rooted.
You will have to create a new user account at SamMobile.com but it takes only a minute.
Good luck!

I'm downloading it now.
To install it I will need to use ODIN, right? Click on the button PDA and select the right? Just in case and for double checking
Also, do you think this will solve the error with the phone calls? And should I worry about the kernel message on the startup?
Thanks

is it possible to get root and recovery on these roms? no point if cant..............do i need downgrade then root and recovery?

yes. that is possible as that you will change knox warranty void to 0x1 i think.

hi guys,
I have managed to install the suggested firmware and now the mobile is turning on and I have the recovery mode back as well. The only problem is now the Wi-Fi doesn't work and the error is still there everytime that I try to do a phone call.
There is any suggestions? Do you guys think if I use a custom firmware instead of the stock one the problems will go away? Do you guys recommend any firmware for my device?
Open for any suggestions as I really don't know what can I do more...
Thanks

Hi guys,
I was just on the phone with Samsung support and they actually told me to look for an answer in the forums, and I will be surprised how much information can I find out here...
I'm writing a complain at the moment as the phone is not even 6 months old and I really don't know what to do to fix it
Any suggestion from your guys? I'm really out of options at the moment
Thanks,

[Q] problem with device

I know this isnt the right place for this thread, but i lost my other login credentials and had to start fresh, so Im posting here....
Device: SM-T230NU
Problem: I used a website outside of XDA to root my device. I followed the instructions precisely too, I than unplugged the device hoping that replugging and restarting odin would fix the problem i have/had as displayed by the picture. I than tried rebooting the device, and got this error message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. Well I downloaded Kies 3, and much to my surpise I got an error message about the samsung galaxy tab 4 7.0 not being supported by Kies 3. I am now downloading Kies 2.6, so I can atleast get this device booting normally.

If you knew this was not the place to post, why did you post a question here? A play by play of your device root is not of much interest to anyone! I hope you got it fixed up anyway!

It's been fixed. I found an alternate DL site that had Odin in the package..I used ODIN to run cf_auto_root which created that firmware upgrade issue...I had to Odin firmware from the links I found on these forums...it's rooted now though

Help with Possible brick SM-G530MU

Hey guys! Thanks for reading.
I was trying to flash stock FW to my phone (SM-G530MU, G530MUUHU1AOA2), but i couldnt do it. I downloaded almost all FW available in SAMMOBILE, but all gave me the auth error in odin.
I thought it was because of the recovery, so i flashed the Phil one. Still no luck.
Then I formatted and wiped through recovery, thinking that would be a good way to have everything to stock.
After that, the phone wont get past the Glaxy Grand Prime logo with androidn at the bottom.
I still cante get ODIN to flash any FW because of that Auth error. Have no idea how to fix it.
Also i tried KIES, but once i enter all infor, it simply says "Failed to run firmware update. Unknown error occured".
So yeah, please help. Dont know what to do. Thanks!

I fixed it! Close this Mods! Finally i went to Samsung and they provided me the original firmware for my model. Thanks

Firmware & Files Source

Hi there,
I would like to flash my G928G ZTO "entirely".... I mean, everything, including firmware, CSC, pit and modem... where would I find the original files? Tried getting the firmware out of sammobile but it is not working for me (although I am premium there is no download link and their support sucks). Are there any other sources for these files?
Thanks in advance!

Good start would be
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Thank you, in fact, I was able to solve my problem with sammobile and download the most recent firmware. Flashed it through odin but it didin't solve the problem.
During the initial setup, the phone hang and rebooted. The time it takes for it to hang and reboot varies: sometimes it reboots from the boot animation, sometimes I get to the phone initial setup...
Does any1 know where I can find the other files (pit, CSC, modem) for it? The idea is to do a complete flash of everything to try to solve this issue...
I initially started thinking that my phone hardware would be at fault... but that would be to much of a coincidence: everything was fine until I dirty flashed Audax 8.1...
any further ideas?

Go to this link [url]http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model[/URL] for official Samsung fimwares or download Samfirm v0.3.6 from this link [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647[/URL] and then check this tutorial on how to use it. [url]http://techtrickz.com/how-to/download-samsung-stock-firmware-directly-from-samsung-servers-using-samfirm-tool-guide/[/URL]
Also, you can connect your device to your computer and use adb logcat (assuming you have the drivers installed and adb installed) to know more about what exactly is causing you this problem. You can get the drivers for your phone by installing samsung kies (or it's equivalent) for your phone, but make sure that kies (or equivalent) is not running before using adb. You can get adb and fastboot from here [url]https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool[/URL], just install the latest version.
Cheers

hangs after flashing usualy happen when you dont wipe.You sure you wiped?

Odin - Secure Check Fail : (pit)/(bootloader)

Hi everyone,
sorry if this is posted in the wrong area, I'm new to the forum. I've read everything I can find, but I can't find a solution, assuming one exists.
I installed Renovate 3.1 by throwing the zip file onto my phone, and flashing it with TWRP. Turns out that isn't how it's suppose to be installed. Everything actually works well, except I've tried go back to stock (was thinking about selling the phone), but every time I try to load the stock firmware via Odin3, it fails. On my phone it says Secure check fail : (pit) or (bootloader).
Have I screwed my phone up beyond repair?
Thanks in advance.
