Hello, i own a 9505x not a normal 9505, and flashing the existing custom recoveries, do nothing, since i cant boot them.
The root works fine.
Since this 9505x is a demo unit, it has some software restrictions i want to eliminate, like it wont turn off the screen and will keep on playing a Samsung demo, it wont take over 20seconds videos and some other annoying stuff, i am trying to make it a retail unit.
Any suggestions ?
Why did you post this here in "Android Development"?
Can some admin post it in q and a?
Noone owns one?
same here mate!
i got my hands on a i9505X at work (with sim tray and mmc slot) but i can't deactivate demo (retail) mode. everytime you poweroff the device it wipes every change.
it tried flashed a i9505 stock rom via Odin and it fails in the modem.bin part...
i was sucesslfull at rooting the device, but now my i9505X takes ages to boot (stuck in Samsung Galaxy S4 for a while) and has no wifi
i tried almost every i9050 kernel available with no luck...
any ideas?

Mate can you pull the stock recovery and send it to me? I can tell you how to unlock retail mode and the security dongle.

Kernel wont do anything for you, restore it and it will be fine. Did you succeed in pulling the recovery?
Why do you need to make the demo unit work?

Its working, i just messed up the recovery mode by flashing a i9505 recovery and now i cant restore it. I want to unroot it and flash the mew firmware from kies. Thats why i need the stock recovery
Any chance you can extract the stock firmware for your GT-I9505X and upload it please. I have the same device given to me by a Samsung Rep and I stupidly tried to install the stock formware for the i9500 varient and now its had it. It loads the samsung boot screen as soon as you turn it on and then just keeps restarting every 5 seconds. Im hoping if I can get hold of the original firmware and reflash it will work! Cant find the firmware anywhere!

Hi all, I have had my galaxy s4 I9500 for 4 weeks now and running completely on stock rom I9500UBUAMDK. Only recently I have been having problems with the phone rebooting 3-4 times a day in my pocket! This is getting very frustrating and need an urgent fix! I have already factory reset the phone and there's no warranty as I purchased my phone online and unlocked. If anyone else is having the same problem or could give me advice, please share. Thanks!
There is a known problem , with too many apps open, and when camera is launched, the phone will reboot.

First Charge your battery , your device wont be able to charge it but you have to charge using another A5 or any other way and then you have to try again to enter download mode. without battery you cannot do anything.

Hi! I think they can't verify if you have root your phone because the phone won't turn on, they don't have access to Download Mode to see if KNOX is triggered. So, Just send your phone to Samsung and wait... :fingercrossed: I think your motherboard is died.
Also, you may try to press the power button for 15 seconds at least

Normally, it's not good to downgrade your firmware. iPhone is different
I think you should send your phone to Samsung and they'll replace it. Don't Worry

Has anyone yet an idea how to avoid it (execpt not downgrading or custom recovery) ... seems to have something to do with bootloaders
when you downgrade lollipop from kitkat you must need factory reset in recovery mode.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen videos for galaxy s4 and s3 but can't find one for our a5.
Bro, you need to run commands in terminal emulator. Google it, you will find it.
I just had very weired problem and I need your help !!
My note 3 N9005 just stopped recognizing touches on the screen ! And only respond to S pen !!
I was on magma mx note7 port rom but I don't think it is rom related because even in the TWRP it is the same
Is that a hardware fault? Or There is a hope that it is a software related to modem or firmware?
I flashed RR but still the same issue!
Seeking your experience opinions
Thank you

Restore to stock firmware first .

Yep. Try restoring do stock, change bootloader too... And also, fix partitions and download an app to test hardware!
My first try would be to flash a bootloader. I think you flashed a broken one or the wrong on! Be sure it really flashed, because sometimes even when Odin says everything went ok, iit may have failed. You have to take off your battery, go into download mode and do it.
In the old days, that happened to Brazilian Galaxy S1 and was related to bootloader!
Keep us updated, friend! Best of luck

Hi mate! Are you using an international sm N9005, right?
You are using an old bootloader. Try this one... I think is the latest: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwT0le3Vxg5OQ1VmakNkc19Od2c
Btw, have you tried a clean install of a stock Rom and no luck? Have you changed kernel?

Yes , the N9005 version .
I did clean install through odin for the firmware but the problem persist , i will try to update the bootloader through Odin and check , thanks for sharing the file
I don't want to give up because it doesn't make any sense for me , if the touch driver is damaged, how the Spen works like a charm ?!!!

Most likely the digitizer is faulty, get it replaced. As for the S Pen, it has nothing to do with the digitizer as it uses the S Pen sensor film which lies behind the screen AFAIK..

Do you think this could be related to root? I remember when I rooted my Sm-n900w8 on lollipop, after I rooted, the soft keys stopped responding and only S-PEN work, but the touchscreen itself was fine.
But there was a fix, you flash this file which fix the touch key. There is an xda thread on this but I'm not allowed to post links. But what I'm saying is, maybe there is a similar method to repair software?
I am afraid, it is gone.
As far as I know brother, the Galaxy Note series uses two digitizers (combined to one) with different voltages (minor difference, but enough the differentiate finger and S-Pen). One of your digitizer is dead.
You now need to try some weird steps for your weird issue.
First thing you can try is Battery Simulation. To perform battery simulation, press and hold the volume down key and power key for 10-20 seconds. Select power down from the menu you see. Turn your phone after 10 minutes and check if problem persists.
Second thing you can try is, take out all your data (backup), switch off your phone, completely charge it and remove battery. To make sure no static current stays inside the phone, while your battery is out, connect headphones, insert a cable with no charger (I repeat, without charger) on the other end and touch your screen with S-Pen. After you have done all this nonsense, remove cable and headphones, re-insert the S-Pen and battery.
After that, from ODIN, do a "Complete flashing" by selecting "Auto Reboot", "F. Reset Time" and "NAND Erase All".
Most threads do not recommend "NAND Erase" for some reaso. I always do it, and have been doing since 2 years without a problem. Rewards? My Note 3 is still blazing fast, though it involves lot of steps while installation which I do not advice to anyone else.
Summary: You need a screen replacement, but before that, give your last attempt, with "NAND Erase All".
Note: It's better to get the latest firmware for your carrier/country. Google SamMobile.
Sorry if nothing helps.

That sounds like a hardware issue to me. I think what may have happened is the S-PEN detach sensor inside the phone broke or some connecting circuit broke. Either way it doesn't sound like a software issue to me....

Potentially. If it's a hardware issue, watch some YouTube tutorials and then buy the right parts and fix it. If it's a software issue try flashing the latest bootloader/modem/stock rom for your phone and see if it fixes things.
Hello I bought this Galaxy S8 SM 950U from this lady off letgo. Anways I just made sure it turned on which it did, and had no cracks, so I was trying to make it fairly quick because i had to drive to her home and walk in, and didnt want to be there long, so i get home clear the data from my new phone ans it asks for her google account. Ive never done anythung like this, but i looked up what to do and flashing the phone was an option ao i chose that one. I used oden and i guessed flashed some kind of combination binary because odin at the end of the download, it was a sucess. So i turn it on and its been stuck in Factory Binary mode. The original was andriod 7.0 G950USQS2BRB1 and now it is G950USQU5ARG4. Im so glad i wrote down the oringinal, but please help. I watched tutorials on how to flash the frp using odin and it seemed pretty simple but i guess not and im definitely stuck and have no idea what to try next could someone please help me
See that 5 in the firmware. That is the bootloader revision. Now you.have to down load a equal revision stock firmware and flash that over the binary
Btw if your area is like mine. Let go is a joke and full of junkies get receipts and addresses and signatures on all phone. I did get me a nice ps4 a few days back.
Mr. Mad Scientist don't mean to bug but I'm having the same problem right about now except my s6 was running a 7.0 G920VVRS4DQK1 And i downgraded to G920VVRU4AOJ1. So you're saying that now i have to find a ROM WITH A build number that has a 4 IN the same spot and flash that file by itself with Odin and that would put my phone back to normal how it should be....? Need help, please help

Yea your on a rev 4 bootloader. Any Rom with a 4 in that location will work
Thank you very much bud I really appreciate that I've been stuck for 2 weeks. And I'm taking a wild guess here but i load the boot into the BL SECTION OF ODIN correct? Weird thing is that last night i flashed a boot loader honestly i forgot the number of it and I'm not near my laptop but it did stop marking that SW check fail rev 4 binary 1 error and when i restart my phone it goes to factory nice still.,.... Now it's in factory mode but it reads boot completed when it gets to the home page. Last thing, i did get a "write error message" that failed my flash... I'm kinda even more lost now
Same problem as Morgenmoles!

just my $0.02, but keep in mind that if you flash firmware with a 6th gen bootloader, you cant go back to anything with the 5th gen. The G950U models arent rootable, so i just always go with the most recent version

We can root the 950u. Just not on pie. Through a long drawn out. We can flash through edl and gain root. I've done it on rev 6
