My brother gave me S4 I9505. It is unlocked and it is from Denmark.
I experimented with several custom ROMS. In the end I wanted to come back to stock simply for S-view functionality. I flashed stock rom via Odin. I have wiped cache and data before and after flashing.
Wifi and LTE doesn't work anymore. I am using it on Koodo LTE network and it worked before on stock and custom ROMS.
Does it make a difference if I flash a different european firmware or does it have to be from Denmark?
What's the latest firmware and modem?
Actually is there any custom rom which has stock like Sview functionality, in that case I would avoid going all stock altogether.
Appreciate your time and help!!
The only ROMs with Samsung apps are custom TouchWiz ROMs and stock TouchWiz ROMs.
To see the latest firmware for your country, check sammobile.
I didn't think the 9505 supports Koodo/Telus mobile's LTE frequencies.
The latest firmware would be located at sammobile.com.

It actually does, well it did. Anyways how do I at least get the Wifi back? I flashed 4.4.2 and then tried to update to 5.0.1 but the Update comes back with the error stating that device has been modified.
My mistake, I was thinking about the i9500 and typed i9505.
Are you able to match the csc and pda to the rom from Sammobile.com?

Hi folks, I'm thinking about getting the SGH-I337 (AT&T version of the s4) which from what I've heard is identical to the i9505 but flashed with a different Modem and ROM. What I was wondering was if it was possible to flash the i9505 ROM + Modem onto the SGH-I337 and essentially "convert" it to the i9505. I was wondering if anyone had more details on the hardware and if there were any issues that I'm just not seeing. I see that the ROM is not an issue. More curious about the Modem. I would like to use the phone on LTE in the UK
I'm looking for a 32GB version of the i9505 and so far, the only option I have is the SGH-I337.
Any thoughts?

Yes you can flash i9505 rom but not sure if you can flash i9505 modem. The way everybody is doing it, to insure ATT network compatibility, is to flash just the i9505 rom while keeping the ATT radio. By doing so, your device ID will switch to GT-I9505 and the SGH-I337 will be gone.
So from what I'm understanding he can flash the i9505 ROM which by he means stock firmware? So I can flash i9505 5.0.1 lollipop stock firmware on my i337? That's what I understood. Is it true?
The bootloader on the i337 may be locked so flashing the i9505 stock firmware onto the i337 may not be possible. I am just guessing here as I have the i337m which does not have a locked bootloader.

Mine is not locked, I bought it used and it was rooted already, so I installed twrp through flashify and I am using cm12. The reason I'm asking is because in sammobile there isn't any lollipop not even kitkat firmwares for my i337 model. So I wanted to know if flashing the i9505 kitkat/lollipop stock firmware on my device could be fine. If not, I can keep on using cm12.
Att never released a complete kk or LP rom. These were only available via ota updates which explains why they cannot be found on sammobile.com.

How could I update it then? I'll be stock in jellybean 4.2.2 because with no root I never received the ota update nor for kikat and not even lollipop.
The rom must be running a completely stock 4.2.2 rom, including stock recovery with no root, to install ota updates.
You could look in the general or development forum to see if anyone has made a flashable zip for the ota updates. The again, the ota updates may not work without an updated bootloader and modem which may mean locking the bootloader.
I have a tmobile sm-900t. I want to install 4.4.2 roms but I'm unsure of the whole process. This is my first samsung phone everything is new to me.
Do I need to flash a specific firmware to be able to run 4.4.2 roms?
Are there any restrictions on which roms would be compatible with my model #? As opposed to only flashing from the limited selection over in the tmobile sub forums.
Do I need a certain version of CWM or TWRP to be able to flash KK roms?

Head over HERE and check out the T-Mobile ROMS, you can flash certain N9005 ROMs but you gotta play with patches and kernels. Read the T-Mobile forum and compare the ROMs here and there you will see the compatible ones
Hi I have been on this site quite a few times but this is the first time posting. I rooted my s5 using towelroot and everything is working fine but I would like to install cwm recovery. Before I do though I want to make sure I can get back to stock with no issues. I am looking for a unbranded stock firmware for the t-mobile s5. It is currently unlocked and has never been on tmobile. I am currently with net10 which uses the att network. I just don't want to flash tmobiles firmware as I am not on tmobile and don't want all the bloatware. Is there a unbranded stock firmware for the 900T variant? or maybe a way to download the stock recovery at least. I know I can backup my current rom but I dont think that includes the recovery. Thanks in advance.

If you root it first i think Flashify from Play can backup and restore your current kernel and recovery. But first check if Flashify supports the 900T.
BTW the G900T rom G900TUVU1BNG4 is available on Sammobile.com to flash with Odin, you can always debloat/freeze apps/widgets you don`t need.
I found a site with all the firmwares.

NEED HELP Factory Unlocked S5 Firmware SOLVED
Thanks for all the help guys Flashify worked for me perfectly. I needed to backup my stock rom because as I stated before I have a unbranded phone. It is the t-mobile version but if I put the tmobile rom on there I end up with bloatware and whatever else. So I was able to flash cwm recovery and make a backup of my stock rom to my sdcard. Thanks again
My Note 3 (SM-N900, Exynos) is currently booting CM 13. I'm gonna sell this phone, so I need to flash the stock Touchwiz firmware that the phone came with out of the box i.e, 5.0 Lollipop.
1. Since my phone runs Marshmallow right now, should I flash a Lollipop bootloader before I flash the stock Lollipop Touchwiz firmware?
2. I'm from India, and I'm a bit confused because there seems to be two firmwares for my region - INS and INU. Which one should I flash?
3. I've been told I should use Odin to flash the firmware, so is there any chance I might brick the phone? or lose the root status?
I'd be grateful if someone could help me out with the above questions. Thanks!
Flashing a stock rom with Odin will lose root. No need to flash anything before flashing stock with Odin.
Use Samsung phone info app from the play store, find the pda and csc. Then match stock rom pda/CSC to the phone.

I only see the info about Product Code, Baseband and Bootloader. The PDA and CSC fields are just blank. What do I do now?
Flash the firmware for your network or the original network .
Boot into download mode, confirm the model, and flash a rom from sammobile.com.
i have a samsung galaxy s4 that says its a gt-i9500 on the about device setting but SGH-1337 on odin , i don't know what to do so i can install a custom rom on it or if theres a way to remove the software and install it from the ground up
The phone's motherboard is from an AT&T S4 sgh-i337. It's running at least a 4.3 bootloader and the bootloader is locked which means the phone cannot run custom ROMs.

There are TouchWiz ROMs (Goldeneye for example) that can be flashed with SafeStrap after the NB1 package is flashed via Odin.
When debloated TW is actually surprisingly stable and quick.
Sorry, when I said custom ROMs, I should have stated that the phone can only run custom ROMs that are based off a Samsung ROM and installed via safestrap.
