[Q] Firmware update failed, Wi-Fi and sound doesn't work (GT-I9505)

Hello,
First I must say, that I'm not English native speaker, so sorry for any language mistakes.
I have a pretty serious problem with my Galaxy S4 LTE I9505. I downloaded the latest official ROM for my model (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_XEO) from SamMobile and I wanted to flash it via Odin 3.07 (previously I had CyanogenMod 10.2). But during the flashing process Odin give me "FAIL".
After that my phone was showing downloading screen with this information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505
CURRENT BINARY: Sansung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
SW. REV: CHECK FAIL: fused: 2, Binary: 1
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Click to collapse
Of course I was trying Emergency Recovery option in Kies, but it was failing all the time. I also was trying to flash it again, but Odin again shows me "FAIL" during the process. So I choose re-partition with PIT file and stock, branded ROM (I9505XXUAMDE_I9505PLSAMD8_I9505XXUAMDE_HOME). And it works, now I can boot my phone and original recovery without any problems, but unfortunatly I can't enable Wi-Fi module and any function that needs sounds just don't work (phone calling, system sounds, notifications etc.). Kies don't want to update my OS from stock, branded version to newest one (error while updating device). I also tried this on different PC, but it's always showing "FAIL" in Odin.
What should I do to get back to stock firmware? Right now I can only send text messanges and use internet via carrier data plan...

re flash your original updated firmware. let it boot up and then do a factory reset vol up-power and home. hope this helps

You can install the any stock rom that ends on H8
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
You will not have root access anymore and are stucked with unremovable annoying system apps...
But thats the price to pay to have your phone back. I was phoneless for 3 days because of this. I'm happy to be still alive, but also wondering if live without root is worth it..

On samobile, I took the UK kernel (ending on H8) and downloaded both the firmware and kernel. I used odin and flashed both (PDA). Then I did a factory reset and everything was up and running again

What country code are you on now? This German (DBT) suppose to be for unbranded phones, but people have problems flashing this. Keeps getting fail in Odin. I'm having this too and I'm standing back for the moment awaiting solution.
You can flash the Polish (XEO) NB3 and the file can be downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares

Couple of questions

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?

Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

Thanks Radicalisto.
Lets see how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Normally after the odin flash, all apps/data etc are there? If not what is the best/tried method of backup without root?

Does this rom suffer from any battery drain issues? or in general any issues? this isnt beta so i suppose none should exist.

No drain issues no, pretty decent build tbh.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

How To Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy S6! [All Variants]

I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html

I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?

HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

Fantastic, sir! I had this baby rooted and the screen cracked. Boo!! But I followed these instructions and I'm back to stock. New phone, here we come! Thanks!

Guys please i need the stock boot img for 920v on nougat. I tried rooting it and in the process.. changed my boot img. Rooting was unsuccessful though. But i have annoying knox notifications now and lags here and there. I want to use odin to reflash the stock boot img. Im new here. Didnt really know where to post this

How long you guys think before we have a flashable Android 5.1.1 Zip for N910F?

Since Android 5.1.1 is already out for N910F how long do you guys think before we see a flashable Zip with root from one of the devs?
I haven't seen anybody even mention anything about this so hence thought I might as well ask the question.
I know we can flash using Odin etc but it is a very cumbersome and confusing process especially with all the different BL, AP, CP CSC files for the different models.
Sorry if it is a stupid question

Well, it might take about a week . Not so sure . But If you are like me , who was unable to tolerate 5.0.1 you can odin it .It is not cumbersome at all ! The battery and the performance you get out of 5.1.1 is the way Note 4 should have been from the start . Go odin it .

Tried flashing the Swedish image from youmobile.org but odin failed at “Invalid Ext4 image”. Successfully rolled back to 5.0.1 official immediately, but am getting the "android.process.acore has stopped" error.
Wonder if I can fix this without rooting/disturbing the Knox counter.
Edit: Kies noticed the difference and updated again to 5.0.1, seems all is good now. Lucky me.
