Hy i have tryed a few things to get my s5 ( Sm G900F) to work. But if i did Update from 4.4.2 to 6.x it often schows bootlogo and after that only Black screen. If i press Power button 1-3 Secounds i see the The Screen but than its black again. So hard reset,wipe data, othet roms i had tryed. Only thing that works is downgrade 4.x but on that rom i downloaded i dont got the Network Menü change from 3G to LTE. Maybee i did something wrong.
My phone rom should be slim,stable, and work with LTE to do Hotspot i live in Vienna (Germany), my phone was branded by Drei Mobile before.
Should i get rom with drei brand again ?
But if anyone knows maybee how i could fix that, would help me realy much.
On my Samsung S5 Neo with android 6.x i have no Problems .... dont understand that !!!
Thanks for Helping
Did you update baseband and bootloader?

Hi guys !
I've just bought a samsung galaxy s4 (i9505) (a used one not new) and i flashed Imperium v7 and modem GNF1 and bootloader GNF1 (initially the phone was on stock 4.2.2 and the problem was already there).
My problem is that i don't get the network i rarely see two or three bars but it directly goes to zero (i can see the no network sign) and stays like that until a reboot (as said it drops to no network very fast).
So my question, is it software ? (should i flash the latest samsung stock firmware ?) or is it hardware ? (replace the internal network ship ?)
Or is it a common problem on S4 i9505 and no solution cannot be found ? :crying:
Could it be related to CSC ?
Anyway, i hope anybody can help me because i really like this phone and the rom that i just installed ..
Feel free to ask me about additional informations.
EDIT : I already tried :
1) the modem+bl FNDA => same result
2) force the phone to gsm only => same result (maybe better but even it solves the problem there is no point to not having 3g activated all the time)

It's going to be pretty difficult to narrow this down with what you've posted. You say the problem was "already there" when you got the phone -- how long did you use it on the stock 4.2.2 rom before flashing a new one? Did you see exactly the same behavior before you started mucking with it?
Hi ! Finally an answer So i used it for about 3 days and i really can tell that it is the same behaviour
My fear is that it may be related to hardware .. I am gonna try to flash the latest samsung stock firmware (with its csc and modem) ?
Anyway any idea ??

In general I'd say it's worth getting the phone to "current" stock, or as close to it as possible, and seeing what kind of situation you're in (i.e. if the behavior disappears or changes in any way). If you're seeing it on every configuration, it seems reasonable to suspect that it could be a hardware issue -- especially given that you got the phone used.
Perhaps someone else knows of a more definitive test you can try.
Hey ! Thanks for the idea ! already flashed the latest samsung firmware and same problem .. i stayed in touch with the guy that sold it to me so he took it back to samsung sav where his friend (who work there) told him that this is a famous bug in the i9505 4g serie and that the only solution is a
nvm restore (something like that). Of course he'll do it for free cause we agreed that if a problem come out he'll have to solve it on his own.
Anyway, i hope to get it back tomorrow or monday ! I'll let you know what happened as soon as i get it back !
solution?
Were you able to solve the problem? in case u were, how? i have the same issue sometimes i have 3g network, then it goes to gprs then edge, sometimes when im connected to wifi i cant receive calls, but i can do calls, any idea?

You need a G900T rom for a G900T phone, not the G900F.

o i thought i can use the 900f DBT firmware!
So is there a 900t rom outthere without that tmobile stuff?
Try to use a custom rom (e.g.: Omega)
the T stands for tmobile, youde have to root and debloat maybe, or use custom
Thank you everybody in advance for the help you may provide.
Please could you help me to understand if i can fix my scl23?
This is the thing.
I got myself a KDI au gs5 scl23 with kitkat 4.4 and as i understand its rooted with a custon recovery, beacaus of the sim unlock, and the recovery its in japanese.
The phone works fine, but when i try to use it on ultra saving mode, its says that it`s samsung account isnt activated and doesnt allow me to change it(in the settings of the phone there isnt a way to change samsung account). So it bugs on that samsung account, and doesnt allow me to use internet and the keyboard when im on the ultra saving mode. By the way i live in Argentina and cant find anyone who speaks Japanese.
So, Trying to fix this samsung account problem i upgraded to lollipop 5.0, but it lock the phone and it doesnt get any antena signal, its says insert a sim, but there is no "no sim" mesage on the mesage board.
And now im dowloading the 4.4 firmaware files to downgrade it to 4.4 and to unlock it whith service menu commands.
Have anyone been able to unlock it with service menu on lollipop, or in any other way? Beacuase lollipop fixes the samsung account problem but olso locks the phone and installs custom AU rom, only in japanese or english laguage.
Thank you very much to everyone.
same here
This is the same thing that happened to me, did you manage to revert back and unlock the simlock on 5.0? Any luck upgrading to 5.0 and using your sim with the device.
cheers

Ended up downloading the 4.4 rom for phone again, installing that. Had to clear cache and do factory data clear to get phone booting again after downgrading. Then I was able to complete the Sim Unlock steps outlined here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tutorial-unlock-sim-au-kddi-galaxy-s5-t2891992
Super frustrating using a phone like this, as it has so much bloatware from Japan which I just want to get rid of. But up and running now, with several replacement mods for keyboard, messenger etc
A lot of information out there, thank you internet and forums like this one for having so much information to get things working again. :victory:
Hey guys!
Recently came home from Japan and since I bought a Galaxy S5 there with the operator AU, supposedly a SM-G900J but having the model name SCL23 there, and would like to use it here in Sweden.
I started off with downloading Odin and flashing the oldest firmware I could find for the phone at Sammobile. I then used this guide here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/samsung-galaxy-s5-scl23-unlock-guide-1886172/ and actually managed to unlock my phone. Seems to be working fine making calls and using LTE. Although from that I can digest the hack seem to be tricking the phone that it is roaming. Since I could not enter the Network menu at all with my Swedish SIM inserted it is quite useful anyway.
It kinda sucks being stuck at the oldest firmware though, and I believe flashing to original operator Lollipop 5.0 will remove the unlock hack. Will try in a little bit.
Anyway, I don't care about warranty or anthing so my phone can become Knox 0x1 for all I care. So, can I root it with towelroot and try to flash any custom ROM on it? Or will this brick the phone since it is some kind of special Japanese version? And will a custom ROM be operator unlocked?
Thanks!
Well, I managed to fix everything on my own and everything seems to work excellent with Lollipop OS, operator applications cleaned and operator lock unlocked.

Use this guide and flash the BNG3-firmware and TWRP recovery with Odin. Then install the custom ROM in recovery.
I might add that I did first use this unlock guide in the original ROM and also rooted with SuperSU before flashing the custom ROM. I'm not sure these two steps were necessary though.

Hi! I'm currently waiting for my scl23 to arrive and planning on unlocking and upgrading to lollipop. I came across this post and want to thank you. I will be trying to do the procedures here once i get the phone. I'm hoping you camn help me if ever a problem arises.
note that u can't use finger scan and dock-charging with this rom, though
I used the stock rom for unlocking and root following instructions from that vietnamese link. Then just TiBU to remove the bloatware. Everything works okay for now. Thanks!

Hello Guys, I'm from Indonesia

hi, i downloaded and installed but its not Entel rom, so, i try whit the Peru rom now, thanks
Many carriers in the same country use exactly the same phone except that each carrier will sometimes add their own apps to the ROM.
In Canada, Rogers, Telus, Fido, Bell, Koodo, and Virgin all use the same s4 (sgh-i337m) and I can flash Rogers stock ROM to a Telus i337m with no problem.
