[Q] Help. Please. Rooted s4 to custom ro

Hello,
I recently rooted my sgs4 gt-i9505 to the goolge edition using a YoTube tutorial on how to do so. Everything worked fine at the start but when I tried to install the PAC man rom, it jus stayed in the loading screen.
I restarted and tried rebooting but to no avail. I went back into the recovery mode and wiped the phone (divlac, cashes and system) then I reinstalled the google rom to find my wifi was not working. I tried the same process again, wipe- reinstall. Now I can't receive calls, the wifi doesn't work, home button only works on double tap, pull down status bar works but nothing in displayed.
My question is, does anyone have any ideas on how I would return my device to normal or know a full proof recovery and rom I can use that will correct these problems.
I am in the UK if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all and any help.
Matt

You could try to go back to stock and check if everything still works there.

Did you flash the correct modem/baseband for the ROM / your carrier? There is a thread in general for all the modems. Chances are with a KitKat ROM you need to update your modem. Read that thread and give it a go. The file is about 15mb and takes a minute to flash in Odin. Failing that go back to stock.
Nothing in status bar: that's what it looks like in stock, you can use 2 fingers for the quick settins. Installl WANAM XPOSED fromwork for more tweaks and options!!
Home button double tap: that's the way it works on the google edition, that's just it. BUT wanam xposed can change this with the Gravity Box module!! You could try the Echoe 2.2 kitkat rom it has xposed pre-installed.
Keep in mind things look blanker and less functional as you no longer have samsung touchwiz which adds a LOT of stuff to the stock experience!
One more thing: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING at all, you never know when you will need it. Backup the nandroid to your PC also just in case, things go missing/ get deleted! T

[HELP] back button / key stop working after stock rom installation

I always used custom roms CM,
i flash stock rom I9505XXUHOH2_I9505TPHHOI1_I9505XXUHOH2
and now my back button / key don't work.
any fix ?

did you find any solution to this?
updated to hoh2 a few days ago and had the same problem, back button doesnt work at all (not even the light..)
doesnt matter if full install of hoh2 via odin, or get update by OTA.
now i downloaded previous stock rom (hof2) and flashed it, now everything is fine again. skipped ota update for now as it will break the keys again.
couldnt find any solution to this so far. also samsung has no idea (and never heard of it before...)

SM-G901F WiFi Pemanently Switch Off

Hi All
I have an issue with my S5 Plus (G901F) a few days ago I rooted, TWRP and installed the stable MM ROM from Tkkg1994 and have been happily using my phone. This morning while I was opening the Gmail app the device rebooted and when it came back up I noticed WiFi was not on. Pressing the quick menu WiFi button turns it green for a second before going back to disabled. Likewise going to into settings - WFi and using the slider does not work either, it just goes back to off.
So far, I have wiped ART/Dalvik, reflashed BL and Modem, factory reset. Wiped the whole device and redid everything including diffrerent ROM's on the same BL/Modem (CPE1) and have the same result.
Everything else works, just not WiFi, I should also add I have tried with and without the SD card and disabling/enabling other radios (GPS/BT) in different combos has not worked either.
Has anyone come across this and can they suggest next steps?
I'm currently downloading the stock ROM that came with my phone to see if that helps.
Cheers

Stock ROM did not help.

Did you find solution? I have recently started to have same issue with same device.

Probably not. The S5 seems to suffer a lot by such issues. I bought mine 3 months ago in a shop. It worked for about 2 months very well. Then all of the sudden it became hot in my pocket so i had to quickly remove the battery. After this the device suffered by ocessional reboots. Nothing helped. Even trying to reflash the stock firmware by trying several Pit´s.
Finally got a replacement as obviously either the RAM or the CPU got defective. The other phone lasted for one week as the wifi module got defective there. Nothing helped either. Now it´s my 3th S5. This weekend my flashlight and camera stopped working. Fortunally got this fixed by reflashing the stock firmware.
Honestly I like the phone but it seems to be quite buggy. Never got such problems with my old S4 and am thinking about going back to the older device.

dude try flashing 4 files flash through odin

Hardware keys not working after flashing

Yesterday I boughten op2 immediately unlocked and flashed, but instantly my hardware keys won't work anymore, also tried going back to stock nothing works. Anybody have any ideas?

See if this thread helps you in any way

You need root and need to do the opposite of what's said in the thread. I used it to disable HW keys when I flashed pie ROM. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF THE FILES YOU'RE ALTERING

Samsung s4 bootloop

Hey guys, I have some problems with my s4 and hoping you could fix these. I'll try my best to include details of what I did and any details that are missing that I will include
Started with me trying to install lineage ROM on my s4 when things started to grease up.
Ok the problem is the phone would not boot to the main OS but when it did I flashed the recovery(twrp)with odin which seemed to work for about a minute or two before powering off. Also I couldn't get to the recovery(twrp) even when pressing the correct combos I just flashed it again and again until it worked but wouldn't work sometimes. I went back to the stock ROM which didn't work either.
I know I am missing out on a few details but if any of you guys can help me that would be great.

partition error ?
